COAL CONTRACT LET
Water Commissioners Let Big Contract
for Coal to John O,Donne11

The mudd1e in regard to the coal
contract for the water works for the
coming year was settled at the meet
ing of the Board of Water Commits
sioners this morning, when the Board
awarded the contract for 1900 tons of
Paramount coal to John O'Donnell.
the contract price being So. SIS ton.
Under the opinion of Attorney
James Cavanagh, who had been seen
by members of the Board, the Board
declined to consider the contract of
the Big Muddy Coal company of Chi
cago, on account of the fact that
Mayor German was the local agent for
the company, and in his capacity Of
Mayor it would be impossible for the
Board to award the contract to the
Chicago company.
Mayor German was at the meeting
this morning, and demanded the ayes
and noes on the proposition to pur-
chase the O'Donnell coal, and voted
against it. The coal will be supplied
as it is needed by the water company.

GRADE FORTHCOMING

Property Owners on Exchange St. Max
ing Protest Against Varying Grades
The people of Exchange street,
south of Eagle, are making decided
protest against the varying grades
that have been given for sidewalks
on the street and it is expected that
there will be a great fight before the
street is paved The engineering
department is working out plan for
a new grade on the street ard no
grade has been established by the
city ordinance up to this time. In
the meantime the property owners
have sought grades for walks and it
is claimed that several different
grades have been given.
The property owners will demand
that the street be filled up so that it
will be practically level from Eagle
street to Balm avenue. This will de-
mand large amount of filling and
the engineering problem presented to
the city engineer is a decidedly diff
cult one. It is hardly possible that
the plan for the paving of the street
can be carried out this year, but the
Council may be asked to take some
action on the matter this evening.

Nestor Of the Insurance Business
il Kenosha Died at His Home
on Market St. This Morning
LONG A KENoSHA RESIDENT
Served the City in the Capacity OF City
Marshall, Assessor and AS
Member of the Board
of Education

Samuel N. Barber, widely known
among the pioneer residents of Keno
sha city and county and the nestor OF
the insurance business in the city,
died at his home on West Market
street lust after two o'clock this
morning. Death resulted from an
attack of heart disease. Mr.. Barber
had been i'll for many months. He
was in his eighty-third year and his
advanced years made it impossible for
him to successfully combat the disease
which had taken hold of him. He had
been unconscious for the past week
and his death was not unexpected.
The death of Mr.. Barber marks the
passing of a man who has been active
in the affairs of the city for more than
half century and his death will cause
sorrow among the. earlier settlers OF
the city and county.
Samuel Newell Barber was native
of Vermont. He was born at Georgia,
franklin county Jan. Is, 1926. He
was educated in his old home and be-
fore he left Vermont he went into the
insurance business. When he was
twenty FIVE years of age he came
west and settled in kenosha. Here
ne engaged in the carpenter business
for a number Of years, but more than
fifty years ago he opened his office as
an insurance agent aud he had fol-
lowed the business every since. Two
years ago his son M. F. Barber was
taken into the firm as a partner and
since that time the business had been
carried on under the firm name of
Barber and Barber.
During his long residence in Keno
sha Mr.. Barber took an active interest
in politics and the management of the
city government. He was one of the
old original Republicans who voted
for Fremont and since that time he
had been allied with the Republican
party. Shortly after he came to Ke-
nosha he was elected city marshall
and he served in this capacity for a
number of years. In 1872 he was
elected to the office of assessor of this
city and he held this Office for aum-
her of terms. In more recent years
he had represented his ward as a
member of the Board of Education.
He took great interest in the de-
velopment of the schools Of the city
and always favored a conservative
management of the city affairs.
Mr.. Barber was twice married, both
of his wives being dead. He is sur
vived by two sons, Orion and Mar
shall F. Barber, both of Kenosha, and
one daughter, Mrs. Henry Martin, of
Chicago. He has one brother, George
Barber who is now living at Los
Angeles, California, and one sister,
Mrs. William Silverton, of ST. Joseph,
Mo. He was member of number
of societies in Kenosha and always
took great interest in their work.
The funeral services will be held
from the late residence on Market
street at two O'Clock Monday after
noon. The Rev. Florence Buck will
be in charge of the services and in
terment will be at the Barber family
plat in the Kenosha City Cemetery.

BREAKS INTO JAIL
Jim Rankin Of Ksnosha Arrested
10 Racine Saturday Night on
Charge of Horse Stealing
HORSE TRAINER DIES GAME

Jim Rankin, the real product of the
wild and woody west, who electrified
Kenosha with his feats of daring and
horsemanship, is in jail again and it
is probable that he will stays there
this time and it will be absolutely un-
necessary for him to negotiate with
the sheriff for terms on which he
stays. Rankin, who claims Kenosha
as his home, was arrested in Racine
late Saturday evening on charge of
being horse thief and what is more
to the fact he did not deny theIsoft
county but went. meek1y to jail and
admitted that he had taken a horse
from a livery stable in milwaukee
simply because he needed the money.
Rankin rode into Racine just before
six O'Clock Saturday eveninggon the
horse which he had leased from the
Milwaukee livery barn and he went
direct to monument square where in
short time he had gathered a crowd
and was giving exhibitions in fancy
riding. He had just completed race
from one end of the street totthe other
when Sheriff Roberts walkedI up and
said, "Come on, Jim, I want you.'
Rankin never made move, but,meek-
ly rode the horse to thehcounty Jail
and dismounting with courteous
bow turned the horse over to the
sheriff as if he had sbeen a lackey.
"Take good care of the horse" Rank
in shouted, as he went into the cell
room.
The horse which Rankin was riding
has been missing fromgMilwaukee for
several days and police in Racine and
Kenosha counties hads been leagerly
awaiting the coming of Rankin. The
man is monomaniac, his one ideaabe-
ing the breaking of horses.9 He work.

Uhlein stock farm just west of Keno

Jy injured by being thrown from a
horse. It is thought thats the injury
affected his brain. He was twice
arrested ia Kenosha last month and
was given ten minutes to leave the
city. He went directly to Milwaukee
where he secured the horse which
proved his down fall.

were considered significant in their
bearing on the outlook for the con,

terday that was direct result of the

this relaxation in the money market
was limited to loans maturing this

The supply of money is gradually
increasing. partly because of salts
faction over interest returns received
on call loans as compared with the
rates obtained for time accommoda-
lions. The fact that the call money
rate had become established below >

worked as an important factor In

Japanese

San Francisco, Aug. 3l.-As guests
of Kikujiro Ishii, director of the Blu
leau of Commerce of the Department
OF Foreign Affairs OF the empire of
Japan, two score of San Franciscos
representative business and profess
sional men sat around table In the
red room of the Fairmont Hotel last
evening and listened to the most fiat
tering assurances of the amity that
would and should prevail between the
island empire and the United States.
Mr.. Ishii was the host of the occasion;
1t was he who suggested the unique
decorations of the table and prompted
the toasts; he was the suave and ur-
bane diplomat at each turn of the fes-
:ivities. The banquet, apart from the
utterances of Mr.. Ishii and his COM
patriots. was notable because of the
frank and warm Fluctuations of some
of the speakers. among whom were
John =. Irish and r. p. Schwerin In
favor of the most unrestricted Japa-
nese immigration to America.
I'VE intend" said Mr.. Irish. that
The enterprise of Japan shall join with

want to aid Japan In becoming the
England OF the Orient. and desire
such an amendment to the laws that
any Japanese who desires to become
a citizen of the United States can dc

pay attention to petty local disturb
ances, but to the sentiment of the
American people; never mind what
other foreigners in California may
cay, they will find that the strong
arm of the American law will be laid
upon them to enforce Justice to the
Japanese. We want more of the Japa'

Penitentiary Appropriations.

The recent legislature made num- Der of appropriations for the peniten- tiary, but all the money appropriated must come out of the penitentiary fund which is separate from all oth- ar funds and must be earned by this Institution. This fund is derived from the lessees of convicts and from the sales of products of the state con- vict farm in Lincoln county. The ap- propriation for the maintenance of the state penite&tiary for the next two years, which includes all the expenses of the state farm, is $277 300. This in cludes $45,000, that is authorized to be paid for the farm, being the balance due of the purchase price Of this amount $15,000 has already been paid. A special act appropriating s60,000 for the completion of the new penitentiary and which also comes out of the pen itentiary fund has not yet been ap- proved by the governor. Within the next two years there will be paid on account of the penitentiary 377,900, and the penitentiary will have to earn this amount of money before it can be paid. Not single cent sf this amount comes out of the pockets of the tax payers.

Effect of Their Warm Drink in the

"A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness.
 T was telling a friend about it and she said, We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children
 q was astonished that she would al- low the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be fact.
 My first trial was failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so fiat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the di- rections and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a de- cided success and I was completely won by it's rich delicious favour In a short time I noticed decided i'm provement in my condition and kept growing better and better month after month. until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. would not return to the nerve-destroying reg ular coffee for any money"
