Nebuchadnezzars Dream.

One night King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that made profound impression upon his mind. Yet when morning came he could not recall it. He called his wise men before him, stated the case and com manded that they tell him his dream. Of course they protested that 1t was only their business to interpret dreams, and that he must first tell them what his interpretation.
 The King was determined. He said if you are able to interpret, you ought to be able to tell me what the dream itself was. And, failing to do that, he placed them under the sentence of death. The thing came to Daniels ears. He asked for tune and said that his God was a revealer of secrets. A time was set, Daniel went in before the King and re- vealed to him what he had dreamed He disavowed having more wisdom than other men, but said the matter had been revealed to him that the King might be acquainted with the interpretation and know what was coming to pass. It was wonderful dream, setting forth in alle- gory the history of the next 1000 years; a history of the setting up of four uni versal empires, which should succeed one another in turn, and which should be finally overthrown by spiritual kingdom. which should be the everlast- ing kingdom of God.
 The King was so wonderfully impressed that he worshpped at the feet of Daniel and declared that his God was the God of gods and the Lord of kings. Daniel was promoted to the highest place in the kingdom next to the King himself He and his people were made prosper ous.
 Writing on the Wall. .
 But troubles arose later on, and he, for his religion, was cast into den of lions. But God delivered him. After awhile the King died. another arose and Daniel was forgotten. But in an hour of feasting and revelry hand appeared, writing on the wall. None could read

NOBILITY OF LIFE A VALUABLE STUDY Daniels Life a Model for Young
 Man of Today PLEASE GOD AND NOT MEN "ln This Day of FIunkeyism, Courage of Conviction Would Be Refresh ing,' Says the Rev. A. R.
 Moore.
PLEASE GOD AND NOT MEN

The Rev. Dr. Allen R. Moore delivered a sermon at the First Christian church last night especially te young men, his subject being, An 1llustrious Life" dis cussing the life of Daniel as a worthy ex- ample for the young men of today to fol- low. The sermon was the third of d series of talks to young men. Dr. Moore spoke in part as follows:
 1 One of the most valuable of studies for young men is that of the life of some noble man. What has been done can be done If other men have made fame for themselves you can, too. I know of nothing more inspiring to young men than the contemplation of life which Is noble, grand and successful. Such d life was that of Daniel, and about him now wish to speak
 Daniel lived in time of trouble There was war between his people and those of Babylonia. Nebuchadnezzar defeat ed Jehoikim, King of Judah, and led many of the people into captivity. Nebu- chadnezzar had some good traits of character. One of them was that he wanted the best and wisest people to aid in his government. Among the Jewish
 
 King selected to enter his college and fit themselves for natural service. Daniel was one of those selected. It was a great opportunity to enter such college as that It was bad to be made a captive but it was an unusual privilege for a captive to be placed in college. Still there were temptations before him in the Kings college.
 College life is not always what it should be. The King gave, them certain meat to eat and Wine to drink Other boys ate and drank these things, why should not he? You know, "It is so bad to be odd or peculiar" No, that is mistake. It is not bad to be odd, if doing right makes one odd. Daniel had been taught that it was wrong to drink wine He knew better, and for him to drink would be for him to do violence to his con science So he purposed iu, his heart not to defile himself. with the Kings meat and wine. That was a noble pur- posal, and it was worthily carried out Of course he could have reasoned that the King would be displeased, that 1t would get him into trouble that it would brand him as crank, and all that; but it is always right to do right, regard less of personal consequences Please God rather than man. That is the only safe course.
 That Daniel was right in this matter the future abundantly proved. The col lege in which he was placed was a col lege of astrology. This was the leading science in that ancient day. Now as- trology has fallen into disuse and few people look upon it as a science at all But then it was the thing The school of the Magi was the most renowned school of, that ancient day. In it the pupils learned to read the meaning of the stars and foretell the destinies of men and nations They learned to inter- pret dreams and do many strange and wonderful things just like the adopts of India do today

DIES FROM INJURIES
Mrs. Charles Getting Dies From
Injuries Received in Fire at
Epson Home in Bristol
DIES AFTER HEROIC RESCUE

Mrs. Hannah Amelia Getting, wife
of Charles Getting, of Red Cloud,
Neh., and sister of Salmon Epson Of
the town of Bristol, died at the Up
son cottage in Bristol at an early
hour Sunday morning as result of
injuries sustained in a FIRE which
destroyed the Epson home two weeks
ago. Mrs. Getting was saved from
death in the burning building only
after most heroic action on the part
of Mr.. Epson and his son. On the
night before the fire Mrs. Getting had
come from Nebraska for visit with
her brother and other relatives in the
town of Bristol. When the fire broke
out she was sleeping in one of the
upper rooms of the house and while
attempting to reach the stairway she
was overcome by smoke and flames.
She was carried from the burning
building in an unconscious condition
and remained in that condition for
many hours. However, after she re-
gained consciousness it was thought
that she would recover. She had in
hailed large amount of the smoke
and flames and after being removed
to the cottage just across the road
from the house which was burned she
contracted pneumonia.
Mrs. Getting was fifty-one years of
age and much of her life had been
spent in this county. She was widely
known among the people of the town
of Bristol. She is survived by her
husband and three children. The
remains were taken to Red Cloud on
Tuesday and the funeral was held
there on Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Epson, who was caught in the
fixe with Mrs. Getting, has entirely
recovered her health.

SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Comparison of Births and Deaths in the
County Shows Rapid Growth

Register of Deeds p. C. Torrey for.
warded to the Secretary of State
Tuesday his last report of the
vital statistics in the county, and in
the future these statistics will be han.
died through the Health Department
of the city. The report shows that in
the past three months, ending with
Oct. LIST, there were 322 births IN the
county and rs deaths. The number
of accidents was 81, and the number
of marriages 113.
This is much larger number than
reported for any other quarter of the
year, but this is brought about by the
fact that the Register of Deeds had
orders from the state to report all
statistics up to the first of October,
while in other quarters the reports
for the last month of the quarter are
often not reported until the next quar-
ter. The report, however, shows a
generous natural increase in the pop
ulation of the county.

Announcement is made that the
annual Y. M. c. A. state champion

SENATOR WANTS AID
Senator La Toilette Seeks Lists Of
Names of Kenosha People
Interested in Politics
STAL WARTSGET AUTOGRAPHS
Senator Sends Letters to Men Who
Have Been Active in Campaigns
Against Him in Other Years.
No Mention of Candidacy

( United States Senator Robert M.
La Fouette opened personal cam
paign IN Kenosha county Tuesday
when many of the leading Repub-
licans of the city received person al
letters from the Senator asking for
aid. In this letter the fact that the
Senator aspires to the Republican
nomination for President is not men
toned. The letter isl formal one,
asking that the people addressed send
to the Senator as early as possible a
list of fifty people in their territory
who are interested in public cues
tons. The Senator states that it is
his intention to sendjtto these men
copies of speeches and other public
documents SO that they maybe ad-
vised of what is going ION in the coun-
try and especially in the United
States Senate.
It is evident that the Senator is
looking after the regular organiza-
ton of the Republican party in this
county and it is rather unusual that
sent to men wholhave vigorously op-
posed the policies of la Toilette dur
ing the time that he was Governor of
the state. An examination of the let
ters, however, shows that the Senator
has not addressed the men on account
of their feeling against his cause, but
simply for the fact that they are the
representatives. of the party in the
different wards of the city and the
different towns of the county. The
list sought by the Senator will be
most valuable for political purposes,
as they will furnish the names Of fifty
Republican leaders from every voting
precinct in the county. This will
give the Senator chance to flood the
county with literature not only show
ing the speeches he has delivered as a
member of the Senate, but as we'll
much other matter as he may regard
as useful in boosting his campaign
for the nomination for President. The
executive committee Of the La Fol
lette organization has as yet done no
noteworthy work in this county, but
it is thought that the lists of names
sought, will aid this committee ma
terially.
So far as can be learned there is no
organized effort against the LaFol-
lette movement and most people ia
the state regardless of their feeling
toward the senior senator seem to be
willing to allow him complimentary
vote from Wisconsin at the Republi-
can convention to be held next year.
The election for the selection of dele
gates to the National convention will
be held in March and it is expected
that the LaFollette organization will
do great deal of work in the mean
time.
It is not expected that ali of the
men addressed by LaFo11ette in the
letter received Tuesday will re-
spond to it, but it is thought that the
senator will be able to get a pretty
good list out of this county.

WILL ENFORCE LAW
Health Officer Ordered to Make
Quarantine Provisions More
Strict in the Future
GUARD AGAINST C0NTAGloN

City Health Officer DR.. J. B. Spald-
ing has received a communication
from the State Board of Health, de-
handing for the future a more rigid
enforcement of the quarantine laws
in cases of infectious diseases and
while there are no such diseases in
the city 1t the present time, the new
provisions of the quarantine laws will
be strictly enforced as soon as any
such cases are discovered and in the
future a quarantine in Kenosha will
mean a great deal more than it has
meant IN the past. Before,demanding
the enforcement of the new laws, DIR.
c. A. Harper, secretary of the State
Board of Health, submitted the laws
to the Attorney General of the state
and secured an opinion on the en-
forcement. The Attorney General in
this opinion claims that the Health
Boards of the various citieslhave abso-
lutte power to enforce the laws as
passed by the last legislature. In
speaking of this opinion DR.. Harper
says:
''From the opinion of the attorney
general you will see that it is the duty
of all the health officers and local
Boards of Health to promptly take
all necessary steps for stamping out
all contagious and infectious diseases
and thoroughly disinfecting the
premises and localities beforeIquaran.
tine is raised.
''The expense of establishing and
maintaining quarantine as we'll as the
expense Of thoroughly disinfecting
the premises before quarantine is re-
moved, must be met by the munich :
pality in which such disease prevails.
"With the prevalence of these con-
tagious diseases in the state from
time to time, it is essential that
prompt and efficient action be taken
by all local Boards of Health, health
officers, city, village and town officials
for their suppression.
"Whens a house is quarantined it
means that all members of the house
hold or other individuals must not
leave the house or mingle with the
public IN any manner or form while
quarantine exists. The attending
physician and trained nurse are the
only ones that are privileged to go
and come from such homes.
''The sale of milk for domestic use
to creameries or cheese factories from
the Guaranteed premises is not per-
mitted unless the cows are taken care
of, the milking done and the utensils
handled by some individual entirely
disassociated with the quarantined
family.
1--WE insist that the rules and regu-
lations adopted by the State Board of
Health are strictly enforced, and if
not, it will become our duty to see
that they are enforced under the
penalty prescribed by law"

ITO ENCIRCLE LAKE
Chicago Men Have Great Plan for
the Building of q Boulevard
Around Lake Michigan
PLANS HAVE ALL BEEN MADE


A boulevard which will circle Lake
Michigan and tunnel under the Straits
of Mackinac, it was declared by one
who has seen the plans, is the latest
project which has grown out of the
movement for the Improvement of
Chicago and its environs.
This project, which those connected
with il do not expect to be realized in
its entirety for some years, has al
ready reached the point where the
rough sketches have been made and
discussed with Mayor Busse, and
city officials of Chicago. These are
now in the Office of Architect d. H.
Burnham who has undertaken the
planning of other projects in which
the Chicago Commercial Club, the
Park Boards and the city officials are
interested. They have not been an
nounced to the public for fear they
might seem Utopian and it was only
with reluctance that their existence
was admitted.
The great boulevard along the lake
shore is the natural development, it
was declared, of the other plans of
Mr.. Burnham for houlevards and
parks in the neigh borhood of Chicago.
With these boulevards and parks ex-
tending in every direction the scheme
was seen to be one which would ex-
Gel in conception anything before at
tempted. It was then that the gird-
ling of the lake with a driveway
skirted by trees, was thought of and
the plans made to be considered and
urged for adoption.
Four states will have to share in
furthering the project-Illinois, Wis
consin, Indiana and Michigan. The
legislatures of these states will be
asked when the time is considered
ripe to lend aid by appropriations.
Chicago and Illinois will do their part
and in fact have already started to
do it.
The great driveway is to !be an ex-
tended Sheridan drive. It is planned
that wherever possible it is ito follow
the coast line of the lake. Where the
lake shore has been occupied by rail-
road tracks or by factories, as is the
case in many of the towns along the
Michigan shore and in some of those
in Indiana, the road will be build up.
on made land in case there is no way
of inducing the corporations occupy
ing the shore line to leave it.
In this way there we're submitted to
them plans for series of boulevards.
Most of these were to form belts
around the city. One of these belts
already exists. Another issthe one it
was proposed to build through the
Desplaines river region. Other boule-
wards along the Fox and the Calu-
met and an outer boulevard, which
was to run from Waukegan on the
north through towns such as Elgin
and Joliet and finally connect with
the lake shore boulevard'at Michigan
City, we're shown insthe plans offered
for inspection. When these had been
exhibited the grand Lake Michigan
boulevard plan was shown.
