OUTWITTED BY UNCLE JOE.
Fooled His SchOOlmaster and Saved
A FavOrite Cap.

How Speaker Joseph G. Cannon once
a favorite cap from confiscation is a
story of his younger days told by a
former schoolmate, now professor
in a western Quaker college. 1t was
at time when Mr.. Cannon's parents
lived in Quaker settlement in west
ern Indiana, where the district school
was governed by man thoroughly
imbued with the ideas of sever SIM
plicity at that time in favor among the
Friends.
Contrary to all presidents and in
violation of accepted tenets in matters
of Dress young Mr.. Cannon appeared
at school one day wearing a cap
which, like the famous coat of the
first Joseph, was of many colors. 1t
was so different from those of the
other boys that the masters atten-
ton was at once attracted and he
promptly confiscated the offending cap
quietly removing it from its peg.
When schol was dismissed, being
unable to find his cap and divining
the cause for its disappearance, young
Cannon, with equal lack of ceremony,
removed from its accustomed place
the high hat of the teacher, which al
though too large, he placed on the
back of his head, and few moments
later when the teacher glanced through
the window he discovered his precious
headpiece, bobbing away among the
trees on the head of his errant pupil.
No words ever passed between them
over this incident, but the following
morning both the hat and cap were re-
placed.

cicadas from depositing their eggs
there, but it is difficult to reach the
limbs and cover them at that season,
because the leaves catch and hold the
spray. The spraying sould be done, if
at all, just before or just as soon, as
the egg-laying process begins"

CINCINNATI, Feb. 23.-C. II. Gal

the ground between Newport and Da-

is believed to be that of Miss Pearl

girl, who was murdered and decapitat-
ed Feb. l. 1896, by Jackson and Wall

were afterwards hanged. Her headless
body was identified by her mother,
but the head was never found.
Evidence which points to the suppo-

SUNSPOT FADE AWAY.
Scientist Seeks to AIIay Alarm Aroused
in Hearts Of Superstitious.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. "a
Professor George H. Peters of the
United States naval observatory says
the spots on the sun, which have great
ly alarmed the superstitiOus and weak
nerved, will disappear within few
days. He has taken daily photographs
of the spots since their first appear
ance. He roughly estimates that they
may cover 10000 miles by $4,000 miles,
an area of $500. 900. 600 square miles.
There are fully so or go large spots"
said Professor Peters, land sreat
many small ones. They constantly
change form. The sun to our under
standing is great gaseous globe of a
diameter of $4,000 miles and these
spots are to be compared in size to
the dent of pinbead on fairly large
orange. They are caused by upheavals
or explosions from the interior of the
sun, which is apparently of greater
heat than the surface visible to u.s."
Professor Peters secuted the idea
that the coming or going of these spots
over the face of the sun would even
remotely affect terrestrial matters.

The Pure Food Roll of Honor

"Good eping'', well
known household national magazine
voluntarily made thorough examina-
ton and test of None-Such Mince
Meat, and placed it without reserva-
ton upon its roll of honor.
In the March number of Good
Housekeeping, in the department of
"Pure Food Assurance, we find:
''None-such Mince Meat, Merrill
Soule Co., Syracuse, semi-moist
condensed compound of beef, apples,
spices, sugar, raisins, currants, boiled
cider, and salt, without other preserv-
atives or adu1terants, no artificial
coloring, produced under conditions
as near to sanitary perfection as pos
sib1e.''
This guarantee, which could not be
bought at any price, ought to satisfy
the most particular housewife. The
sale of one million packages mouth
seems to prove the statement to be
true. Your grocer sells None-Such.
Try it, and satisfy yourself. You are

TO RE-PAVE STREET
Kenosha Gas & Electric Co. To
Repave the East Side of
Main Street at Once
TO REPAIR OTHER STREETS

Main street will probably be torn
up for several months, as this morn
ing Mayor German, acting on the part
Of the city, made formal demand on
the manager of the Kenosha Gas and
Electric company that the company at
once begin the work of repairing the
east side of that street. At the time
the company laid tits mains for the
public heating plant the pavement
was not properly replaced and at the
present time the pavement has sunk
so that there is gutter running the
full length of the street. Many
weeks ago the Council directed the
company to repair the street at once,
but there have been many excuses on
the part of the company, but it was
stated that the work would be done
just as soon as street payer could be
secured. When the mayor went to
the Offices of the company this morn
ing he was accompanied by "a payer
who was ready to start the work at
once and it is thought that the work
will now be done.
Main street is rot the only pave
ment to be repaired by the company
as Prairie avenue and Park avenue
are both in bad condition.
The City Council is considering a
plan to have the Prairie avenue.pave-
ment taken up and the bricks turned
over but it is thought that the ex-
pense of such repairs wouldasbe a
pretty large one for the city to stand
at the present time. 1t is pretty GER
tain that in the future paved streets
will not be torn up as much as in the
past and on all streets now sbeing
paved the various companies..a are be-
ing forced to put in the service pipes
| SO that there will be no reason to tear
up the pavement inathe future. The
work of putting in the sewer on West
Main street is now nearly completed
and it is expected that the,,swork of
paving the street will be started the
first of next week. An effort is being
made to have the electric railway COM
pany lay its rails in the street before
the pavement is completed.

TO IMPROVE PLANT
Water Board Orders Estimates
Secured for the installation

CAPACITY NOW is TOO SMALL
Commissioners Now Figure on the In

pacity of 600, 100000 Daily
Must Change Soon

The Board of Water Commissioners
at its regular meeting on Tuesday
evening took steps to secure new
pump to increase the capacity of the
Kenosha public water plant and as
result of the discussion of the ques-
ton the superintendent of the COM
pany has been directed to get esti-
The pump that is needed is hori-
zontal pump with a capacity of six
million gallons daily. AT the present
time the company has three pumps
in operation. One has a capacity of
four million gallons daily and the
other two have each capacity of two
million. The new pump was installed
only few years ago and at that time
it was thought that it would be suffi-
GENTLY large to take care of the de-
mand for water for at least ten or
twelve years but already the company
is being forced to run the new pump
and the old pumps and the cost of
operation is greatly increased.
The plan is to take out the two old
pumps and install the one new pump.
This would give the water company
ca acity of at least ten million ga,s
Ions daily and it is thought that this
would take care of the business for
some time. Notwithstanding the
fact that the commissioners have been
making constant additions and i'm
provements to the plant it is thought
that it will be an easy thing to find
the money needed for the purchase of
the proposed new pump. The cost of
a pump would be somewhere between
$4,000 and $4,000. The pump in
stalled few years ago cost the water

favorable purchase in this pump and
it could not be replaced today for a
sum less than SIS, OCO.
With the added capacity it is
thought that the cost of spumpiug
would be considerably decreased.
The standpipe is doing much to re-
lieve the 1abors of the central pump
ing station, but the rapid growth of
the number of consumers and the
amount of water consumedssmakes the
amount to be pumped decidedly large.
The pumps are now pumping nearly
SIX million gallons of water day.
If the Board decides on the installa-
ton of the new pump it could prob
ably be put in position by the latter
part of next year.
At the meeting Tuesday night the
Board took steps to furnish water to
some of the property owners in the
suburban districts and mains were
ordered laid on Grand avenue from
Ridge to Brockett street and on Maple
wood avenue in the Rice subdivision
from Grand avenue to Middle street.
This will req uire sthree carloads of
pipe and the work of putting in the
mains will go forward just as soon as
the pipe can be secured. It is planned
to have the work completedst this fall
in order that the property owners may
have water for use during the winter
months.
No other business of importance
was taken up at the meeting of the
Board.
