HAS NOTABLE RECORD

Mary Jackson, Senior in High School,
Neither Absent or Tacdy in IL Years
Mary Jackson, of Pleasant Prairie,
who is now completing her senior
year in the Kenosha High school, has
a remarkable record for faithfulness
at school, and it is declared that in
the entire country there is not another
student who has such record. Miss
Jackson started into the public school
twelve years ago last September, and
in all that time she has neither been
absent nor tardy at single session.
She has enjoyed perfect health dur
ing her school days and the habits of
promptness instilled by her mother,
Mrs. c. L. Jackson, have been fol-
lowed through all the years. Miss
Jackson is now living in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, but Notwithstanding
this fact, she has been the most reg
ular attendant at the High school
during her course. Its certain that
no other student of the Kenosha
schools, either in the grades or in the
High school, can show such record
for attendance.

Louis Smisk, q Laborer, Found
Dead in a Room in the Fischer
Hotel Overcome by Gas
RAINY DAY BLAMED FOR DEATH
Man Had Been Working on the Pave
ment and Was Forced to Lay Off
On Account Of the Rain.
Lay Off Was Fatal

Illuminating gas claimed another
victim at the Fischer Hotel as just
after nine O'Clock Thursday morning
Louis Smisk, aged about forty-five
years, was found dead in bed in a
room on the fourth floor of the hotel.
He had been dead only short time
when the body was found. It is sup
posed that the death Of the man was
the result of an accident. AS soon as
possible the coroner was called to the
hotel and after jury had been sum
moned the remains were removed to
the Hansen morgue.
It is thought that Snisk inhaled the
deadly fumes Of the gas during the
early hours of the morning. He was
employed by the John @. Jones COM
pany and had been working on the
pavement on English Court until
Wednesday morning when the down
pour of rain forced him to lay off for
the day. Disguised with the weather
Smisk proceeded to drown his disgust
in the flowing bowl and it was noticed
that he was badly under the influence
of liquor when he appeared at the
hotel for supper Wednesday night.
He, however, ate big supper and
later sat about the lobby of the hotel.
Later in the evening he went out of
the hotel and when he returned just
after midnight he was badly under
the influence of liquor. He went di-
rectly to his room, turned out the
gas. and retired. Early Thursday morn
ing Manager Fischer of the hotel
made trip about the hotel and he
found the door of Smisk's room open,
The man was laying on the bed clothed
and sleeping heavily at that time and
there was no odor of gas in the rooms
or in the halls.
The mans dead body was found by
Anna Brandt, one of the maids at
the hotel, just after eight O'Clock. 1t
seems possible that Smisk got out OF
bed early this morning and tried
to light the gas in order to prepare
for the days work and fell over on
the bed. It is also possible thatin his
disgust over the weather conditions
and lack Of work he deliberately turn
ed on the gas and slept his life away.
Smisk had lived at the hotel for
some time and was perfectly aware of
the methods for using the gas. So far
as is known the deceased YVES a single
man and he came to Kenosha year
ago supposedly from Racine. He was
1aborer and had been employed by
the Jones Company for some time.
He was well liked by the men employ
ed by the company and his death has
caused profound sensation among
them. Chief Of Police O'Hare is MAX
ing an effort to locate some of the
relatives Of the man and the remains
will be held at the morgue pending
their coming to care for them.

General Kuroki is intensely interest
ing as man as well as on account of
his record as soldier General Ian
Hamilton Of the English army, who
was military guest at Kuroki's head
quarters during the Manchurian cam
paign, has given vivid portrayal of
his characteristics in a recently pub
lished work. While affairs were in the
most desperate condition General Ku-
roki presented an appearance Of I'M
ruf1ed tranquility and entire freedom
from hurry, worry or care. He slept
well and enjoyed life as if the whole
affair were a pleasure excursion. The
most important questions were decided
quietly and serenely as an ordinary in
cident, and nothing like nervous strain
was noticeable at any time. This, 1t
appears, is the Japanese style Of mill
itary command, and such wonderful
firmness Of nervous organization doubt
less was an important factor Of sue
cess.

If the postal department enforces
the understandings and agreements
made when postal free delivery rural
routes are started, the country will
see far superior system of roadways
in the next two decades. The report
of bad roads by any one rural carrier
ought to be in all cases the abandon
ing of delivery on that particular
piece of roadway. Gravel is not costly
and with little preparatory work in
raising up the roadway center, any
county can immensely improve its
roadways. The travel wears down
quickly the gravel and the result is a
firm roadway and pretty good at that.

WANT CLEAN MONEY
Old Bank Notes Are Not Desired
by Business Men Or the
General Public
FEAR OF DISEASE GERMS

The filthy and much handled and
worn green backs which are in circu-
lation, are not desired by the people
of the country and they ask the banks
to give them crisp, cracking new
bills, but the demand is greater than
the supply, although local banks are
constantly sending in to the United
States treasury the old and disease
breeding bills. Of course every one
will accept greenback, no matter
how worn or filthy it may be, but all
desire crisp new bills.
The demand for new bills is attrib-
uted in measure to the fear of
money that is tainted with disease
germs from long usage. There has
been so much said and so much writ
ten about the germs that cling to
currency bills, that the public insists
upon clean, new bills when it is pos
sib1e to get them.
Another cause for the demand,
bankers say, is the discovery by Keno
sha people, that il the cities of the
east tue pQUAAG lids FL dSlAGd1Ay nOlLe
ing but new money. Owing to the
convenient location of the subtreas-
uries there, it is possible to exchange
old money for new daily.
The Kenosha banks get new money
in every month. A few of the banks
in the west exchange large amount
every two weeks.
Women especially demand fresh,
crisp bills and the tellers in some of
the banks say they hold out as much
as possible for the women. The de-
mand in Kenosha for new money has
arisen only recently and it is growing
steadily.
In some eastern cities silver dollars
are seldom used, crisp, cracking bills
being always given out. AS soon as a
much used bank or treasury note is
recei red, it is at once taken to a
treasury Office or a bank and ex-
changed for new one.
