The deceased was member of Co.
B. Sixteenth Wisconsin infantry, and
at the battle of Shiloh was acting as
a scout. He was sent out to gather
informal ton concerning the rebel
troops and through an accident he
came inside the Confederate lines.
Here he heard If the plans to attack
the Union army. In the darkness of
the night he broke through the lines,
made his way to the northern troops,
and informed Gen. Grant of the
nearness OF Johnson's soldiers. 1t is
said that this information saved the
federals from disaster. Mr.. Kenyon
formerly lived at North Lake.
Miss Frances RuidI, who died Sun
day at ST. Mary's hospital, Milwau-
kee, at the age of 81 years, was one
of those who were rescued from the
NewhalI house and she figured in one
of the dramatic incidents during that
disaster. With the aid of an assistant,
Fireman Herman +. Strauss spanned
the alley from the Frackeltun building
to the servantI' quarters IN the
burnding hotel with long ladder. The
first woman carried across this i'm
provised bridge was Miss Ruidl. who
was an empoye of the hotel. She
weighed about $50 pounds, and the
task was a difficult one. She has been
a resident OF Milwaukee for thirty
five years, and for some years she
conducted restaurant on Milwaukee

Ocala, Fla, o

Mr. Thomas A. Edison, the world 8
wonderful inventor, has been at work
for several years past on an invention
for cheapening the building Of houses
and has at last perfected the same.
He says that with the appliances
he has invented il will be possible to
build in twelve hours a three-srOTy
house, large enough for three families
10 occupy. the cost Of which will be
only $1,000. These houses will be
built Of cement. and will be inde

The disgrace and humiliation and sor-
row and heart-JhTObs fall heaviest
upon the women. and it is no wonder
that they are the ones who are head
ing the prohibition tidal wave that
is now sweeping over the South.
Speaking OF which the Indianapo-
lis News says:
IL is significant OF an awakening
and a powerful moral sentiment
That il should have its greatest mo-
mentum in the South has not yet
ceased TO puzzle the North. But
there are many typical American
communities in the South and these
communities have felt the curse OF
tha liquor business at its worst, and
doubtless feel that the time for a
change has come At any rate. the
temperance movement in the South
is a real force. and may become a
permanent factor in the civilization
Of that section Of our country.
There ara other considerations why
the sale Of wEiskey should cease
here. It Is adding 70 the demoraliza-
hon Of our labor conditions.
