THERE is good deal of doubt ex-
pressed as to the wisdom of continu-
ing to wash down the paved streets
with heavy streams of water from the
fire hose until experiments are made
to ascertain whether or no the wash
ing is liable to injure the pavements.
Where the bricks are set in cement
washing down the streets is the best
system of street cleaning yet devised,
but where nothing but sand is packed
in between the bricks it certainly
looks trife risky to put such heavy
streams of water on them. If the
water is washing out SO much of the
sand filling that the bricks are more
liable. to chip off at the edges, the
washing should be stopped at once
and the city should go back to the old
system of sweeping.

THOSE notices for the building and
repair of sidewalks were not sent out
any too soon and it is to be hoped that
they have not been delayed until it
will be impossible to complete the
work on the walks before winter.
Now that this matter has finally been
taken up a thorough inspection of
the whole city should be made and
every walk that is in any way danger
Gus should be repaired. Many of the
walks now ordered rebuilt have been
in bad condition for years and it is
surprising that the city has not been
compelled 10 pay very heavy damages
as result of the neglect to require
the property owners to make repairs.
At that the city has paid out consider
able money in the last few years for
damages for personal injuries sus-
tanned on defective walks, and it
should be good news for the taxpayers
that the authorities have at last woke
up to the fact that it is much simpler,
easier and cheaper to require property
owners to keep their walks in good re-
pair than it is to defend damage suits
in the courts.

RECEIVER TAKES CHARGE

Fixing Up Lapsed Insurance

First Day of New Manager Given to
Fixing Up Lapsed Insurance
Carroll Atwood, named as receiver
for the Visible Typewriter company
by Judge Quarles in the United States
Court On Saturday, came to Kenosha
Monday and took charge of the plant.
The entire first day was spent in fix
ing up the insurance on the plant and
it is claimed that the policies were in
bad condition and in case of fire the
creditorsawould have sustained seri-
Gus loss.
No effort will be made to operate the
plant as it is expected that the trustee
to takelchargesof the business will be
named within the next ten days and
the receiverswill then DE through with
his work.
1t is expected that the Kenosha at
torneys will hold claims enough to
control disappointment of the trustee,
and If this is the fact it is expected
that some Kenosha man who is close
ly connected with the company will be
named for this responsible position.
In the meantime the attorney for the
company is busy getting out list Of
the liabilities and assets and this will
be presented to the court on next Sat
urday.

course it was known how each man

a Dutch IroncIad.

It is Of interest to note that, accord
ing to some authorities, the Dutch
were the first in the modern period of
history to build an ironclad and that
during the siege of Antwerp by the
Spaniards in 1886 the people of that
city built an enormous fat bottomed
vessel, armored it with heavy iron
plates and thus constructed what they
regarded as an impregnable battery
This they named Finis Bell. Unfor-
tunately the vessel got aground before
coming into action and fell into the
hands of the enemy 1t was held by
Alexander of Parma to the end OF the
siege as curiosity, but was never en-
ployed by either side in any action.

ALL the kicking of the members OF
the School Board or the Council
ag ainst the law relative to contracts
for city work let to members of these
bodies will not alter the law or its ap-
plication to any particular case a
particle. The law is the law and it
stands as it is written in the statute
books and interpreted by the Courts.
Il applies to all alike aud it will take
the connivance of a majority of the
members of either the Council or the
School Board to get around the law
in any way. Most of the members of
the Council and the School Board
understand the situation perfectly and
they also know whether or not they
have been observing the spirit and
the letter of the law in the past before
any of the bills presented by the
members of these bodies we're
ever called into question uuder this
law. AS a matter of fact the city has
fallen into rather careless way of
doing business in this particular and
it has been customary to allow the
bills of members of the Council and
the Board against the city that had
been properly passed by the commit
tees to which they were referred with
out paying any attention to the law
as it stands. Now that the point has
raised, however, the taxpayers
will naturally expect to see the law
observed by both the Board and the
Council no matter who is hit and this
is not saying that there was anything
wrong with any of the bills allowed
in the past either. It is simply that
the time has come for the city to be-
gin doing business legally.

A FORTUNATE FIRE
Shed on Y. MI. c. A. Athletic Field
Burned on Monday Evening

There was fortunate fire out on
the west side late Monday evening,
when the old shed on the Y. NJ. c. A.
grounds, which had been formerly
used as dressing room for the ath-
letes taking part in games there, was
burned to the ground. No effort was
made to save the old structure from
being fuel for the flames and there
is strong suspicion that some of the
people living IN the neighborhood APP
piled torch to it to get rid of the nui-
sance, For some time the shed has
been hanging out place for lot of
boys and young men and it is claimed
that it has been used as place for
gambling and card playing and that
the language used by the people par
ticipating in the game was anything
but choice and elevatings
Chief Isermann stated this morn
ing that he guessed that the fire was
set by some boys who we're loafing in
the building and it is certain that
there will be no further investigation
of the fire.

a Handy Measure.

If you have a pint jug and wish to
measure off half a pint with tolerable
accuracy it is useless to try and do SO
by guessing when the jug is half full.
A better way is to tilt the jug until
the contents just reach to the upper
end Of the bottom of the vessel and
just touch the lip at the lower end Of
the mouth. IN this way the space IN
the pint jug is practically cut into two
equal portions, each half representing
the space taken by half a pint.-Lon-
don Graphic.

Over and over again he remonstr ted

In time the man himself, came to see
the error Of his ways, and desired no

however, was to find a method of

upon a happy thought.

''and every time you swear put a

the end Of the month he went to the
clergyman, taking the bag with him,
It was not an easy task, for, as any
one might See the bag was very full!
and very heavy He went into the
clergyman's study and put the bag
on the table.
The minister looked up with a seri-
