Rev. George Gormly, Of Jeffer-
son, Made Assistant Pastor
of st. James Parish
YOUNG MAN or GREAT POWER
Will Aid Father Malone in the Work
of the Parish, and the Appoint
ment Is to Be Permanent
First Service Sunday

On account of the continued illness
of the Rev. Father Roche, the veteran
pastor of St. James church, Arch
bishop Messmer, of the Milwaukee
diocese, has named the Rev. George
Gormly, of Jefferson, Wis, as assist
ant pastor of ST. James parish and
Father Gormly has already come to
Kenosha to take up his work. 1t is
stated that the appointment is per-
manent one and after the recovery of
Father Roche the parish will have
three priests in charge. For the
present allsof the work IL the parish
is underICthe direction of Father
Malone, the senior assistant pastor
and FathersAGormly. The condition
of Father Roche shows slight i'm
provement, but it is feared that it will
be manysweeks before he is able to
resume his1swork in the parish.
Father Roche is suffering from COM
plication of diseases and is forced to
spend much of his time in bed. 1t
was at his request that the archbishop
selected Father Gormly to come to
Kenosha and assist in the work of the
church.
Father Gormly has been in Kenosha
for several days, but he will formally
begin his work on Sunday when he
will preach at the High mass to be
held at half past ten o'clock. 1t is
said that the new priest is man of
great power and he promises to be
decidedly popular with the members
of the parish. Father Gorm1y has
the honor of being one of the young
est priests in the Milwaukee diocese,
as he was ordained to the priesthood
at St. Francis last June and the ap
pointment to the Kenosha church will
be his first assignment from the arch
bishop.
Father Gormly was educated in the
schools at Jefferson, after which he
went to Notre Dame University, where
he was graduated with high honors.
Francis and he was graduated from
the seminary just before his ordina-
ton. During his university and sem
mary course he gained renown as an
orator and he is said to be one of the
finest speakers ever ordained in the
diocese, Father Gormly has taken
charge of the work in Kenosha with
great deal of vim and already under
his auspices five converts to the par
ish have been made. 1t is expected
that large crowd will greet the new
priest at his first service at the church
on Sunday.

How to Ruv Shoes.

How to Keep Cheese.

Housewives often are dismayed at
finding the cheese which they intend
ed to last several days at least quite
spoiled the second day, and the fault
lies entirely with the grocer, who
must have sent bad cheese in the first
place. Cheese spoils more quickly in
hot than in cold weather, and the pre-
ventive is to keep it in the icebox.
The fine imported varieties will not
keep at all, not more than day or two,
says the Chicago Tribune, so it is
best to consider just what kinds will
and buy them only until cold weather
comes. Roquefort, Camembert, the
useful Swiss cheese and the home
made cottage cheese are about the
only ones to be relied upon. Dip a
piece of clean cheesecloth in salty
water to wrap the Swiss cheese in
and keep in the fcebox, changing cloth
every day. For Roquefort have the
cloth dry and lay the package directly
on ice, only keeping off long enough
to serve. Keep the homemade in a
jar or it will spoil.

John Eskeridge Of Woodstock,
III, Demands $40, 600 From
Simmons Mfg. Co.
INJURED IN FALLING ELEVATOR
Woodstock Man Claims That He is Now
Permanently Disabled. Suit is Filed
in the United States Circuit Court
in Milwaukee on Friday

In the United States Court in Mil
waukee late Friday afternoon Attor-
neys Wallace ingalls,, of Racine, and
Calvin Stewart, of this city, filed the
summons and complaint in a suit
brought by John Eskeridge, Of Wood
stock, ILL.,, against The Simmons
Manufacturing Company of this city.
In his complaint Eskeridge demands
damages for personal injuries in the
amount of $4,000. The amount de-
manded by Eskeridge is one of the
largest ever named in suit of this
nature brought against a Kenosha
county concern.
The accident on which Eskeridge
bases his claim for damages occurred
at the plant of the company on the
afternoon of March II of this year.
He was in an elevator Which was at
the fourth floor of the building, when
the machinery of the elevator is al
legged to have broken and the car fell
with crash 10 the ground floor Of the
building. Eskeridge claims that he
was not acquainted with the working
of the elevator, but that when he felt
the car dropping from under him he
caught hold of the ropes supporting
the car and shouted for help, but that
as the car of the elevator struck the
bottom of the shaft the rope to which
he was clinging broke with snap and
he was thrown with great violence to
the floor thirty-fve feet below. He
claims that his body struck on an iron
rod IN the elevator shaft. At the time
it was not thought that Eskeridge
was very seriously injured, but he has
not since returned to work and is liv-
ing at his home in Woodstock. He is
% years of age and he claims that his
injuries are of such permanent ma
ture that it will never be possible for
him to do manual labor again, and
that on his earning capacity the dam
ages which should be paid to him
would be $4,000.
The summons and complaint in the
case will probably be served on the
company this afternoon and it is ex-
pected that the suit will come up for
a hearing in the United States Court
at the September term. Eskeridge
has not been seen in Kenosha for
some time and his attorneys claim
that hewas so badly injured internally
that it is impossible for him to travel.
The case is brought in the United
States Court on account of the fact
that Eskeridge is resident of Illinois,
while the defendant company is a
Wisconsin corporation.

How to Clean Vases.

For the stains which often mark deep
vases when they are in constant use
the same treatment as that for water
bottles should be followed. Put potato
parings into the vase, with water
enough to cover the stains, leaving
them there overnight. Then empty
them out and wash in the usual way
Repeat if necessary. A cleaning pad
may be made by. cutting a groove
around long stick near one end and
tying securely by means Of the groove
a bit of cloth doubled up SO that it
makes round, ball-like covering to
the tip. With this all sorts of ugly
stains can be got at which would 9TH
erwise be impossible.

ROBBED OF $4,000
Generous Farmer Offers Reward of
SO for Return of Large Sum

John Wensing, prominent farmer
of the town of Somers, attended the
circus IA Racine last night and while
he was witnessing the sights of the
big show a sneak thief picked his
pocket ard secured a pocketbook
containing $1O.O55. Fortunately for
Wensing the ten thousand dollars was
not in cash but in the form of GER
tiicates ofsde posit on the three banks
in Racine and one bank IN Kenosha
and the payment On the certificates
was stopped before the banks opened
for business. The SIS was in cash
and this is probably gone beyond re-
call. AS the loss was mere bagatelle
the robbed man has offered reward
of $40 for the return of his wallet and
the contents.
1t is supposed that the men who
robbed Wensing we're men following
the circus and that they were a ware
that he mad the certificates and the
money on his person. Wensing lives
near Central Park and he had the
certificates at his house. When he
started for the circus he feared that
the house might be entered by thieves
and for this reason he placed the GER
tifcates in his wallet and in an inside
pocket. The police in both Racine
and Kenosha have been notified of the
robbery, but they have no clue to the
identity of the guilty parties.

kilograms received in Kenosha this
morning announce the death of the
Hon. John G. Fleming, formerly of
the town Of Randall, which occurred

The deceased was one of the most
widely known of the Democratic poll
ticians in Kenosha county and was
one of the few Democrats who had
represented this county in the State

AASdOSAo NOuAly DOAAS CdlAl ny the
Democracy Mr.. Fleming was elected
to represent the county in the State
Legislature.
He was one of the best men ever
representing Kenosha county in the
Assembly, and he was known as one
of the Democratic leaders of the
state. When the political pendulum
swung back to the Republican party
two years later Fleming was defeated
for reelection, and after that time he
took little interest in politics. Mr..
Tleming was man of wealth. and

LOOKING AFTER JEWELS.
How Gems and Jewelry Can Be Easily
Cleaned.

How Gen1a and JeWery Can Be Easily
Cleaned.
1t is better to keep jewels in lockwood
sawdust instead of in velvet lined
cases, as the sawdust is very cleans
ing. Rubbing with a piece of soft
chamois is also good polisher.
Many good jewels are discolored by
water, and for these the chamois is alb
solutely necessary Turquoises turn
green IL wet, and pearls become black.
These stones may be cleaned by means
of a gentle polishing with a piece of
chants or with a dry brush contain
ing soft bristles.
To clean diamonds soak them in
lukewarm water to which a few drops
Of ammonia have been added. Then
take out each piece separately and rub
with a soft toothbrush that has been
dipped in lukewarn soapsuds made
from pure CASTLE soap, rinse in luke
warm water and put away to dry in
the sawdust.
The sawdust gets in all the openings
in the setting and SO proves more
cleansing than anything else you could
use. When you take them out shake
off the sawdust, and they will be
found to be clear and brilliant without
a flaw or the tiniest speck of dust.
To clean gold ornaments when I'M
adorned with gems soak them in soapy
lukeWarm water to which few drops
Of ammonia have been added. Polish
them thoroughly with a toothbrush
and dry completely with a piece Of
chamois. Seal rings can in this way
be made to glitter almost like dia-
monds.
To clean chains composed Of close
links between which all sorts of dust
particles can collect put them to soak
In 9 bottle containing mixture of
soapsuds and prepared chalk. After
few hours shake the bottle we'll and
pour off the lather; then rinse in cold
water and dry as thoroughly as pos
sible.
