Shaved With = Pen

An amusing story was told by con-
Wet after his release from Parkhurst
prison, England, of how he managed
to have a clean shave every day, to
the establishment of the governor and
warders. Surprise visits were paid to
the man in his cell, but the secret Of
the shave remained an impenetrable
mystery until after his release. 1t APP
pears that when employed in the tin
smiths shop of the jail he secreted an
ordinary steel pen nib. By dint of
weeks Of work he fattened the nib out
and put on double edge equal to the
best Of razors. In the cell he secreted
1t on the wall by covering it with a
dattened out piece of soap which hap
pened to be of the same curiously drab
color as the wall.

Kenosha Home Telephone Co.
Announces Big Increase in
Rates Next Month
400 SUBSCRIBERS AFFECTED
Company Will Drop All Two Party
Lines and Will Expend $4,000
Improving the Service
in the City

The Kenosha Home Telephone COM
pany has reached the place where a
large increase of rates is to be made,
and an order has been issued for
cancellation of many contracts of
the subscribers of the exchange. The
contracts are to be cancelled the first
of April, and Manager Frantz stated
this morning that between three and
four hundred subscribers would be
affected by the change. The COM
pany will insist on the cancellation of
the present contracts at that time,
and it is stated that the sole reason
for the change is that the company
has made arrangements for building
new lines which3 will result in the
patrons Of the company receiving a
much bettergservice.
All telephones in the residence
districts Of the city, where the
monthly rental has been a dollar
will be eliminated, and in their
place new lines will be built on
which the monthly rental will be a
dollar and half. In the business
sectionsl@' phones which have been
charged for at the rate of dollar and
a half month, will be increased to
two and a half, and single lines will
be put in for the subscribers.
It is claimed that while the increas Sc
in the charges for the phones is made
the patrons Of the company will re-
ceive much better service, and that
the service will be made uniform in
all parts of the city. In order to
make these changes the company has
contracted for work which will mean
the expenditure of SIS, 900 and it is
planned to have all of this work COM
pleted by the first of May.
AS far as possible the lines will be
changed at once in order to have them
ready when the new schedule goes
IN, but the change of rates will not
take effect until all of the two and
four party lines have been elimin-
ated. Single ring phones will be used
by every patron of the company. To
bring about these changes new cables
will be strung on Market street,
Grand avenue and Elizabeth street
and it is the plan of the company to
string many new cables on the out
skirts of the city in order to extend
the service to these suburban places.
The material for this work has been
ordered and will be here within the
next two or three days and the work
of putting it up will be started at
once. It is not thought that any
changes will be made in the rates
charged to subscribers other than
those mentioned.
Local Manager Chas. Frantz de-
clares that when these changes are
made the people of Kenosha patroniz-
ing the Kenosha Home Telephone
company will have the finest service
to be found in Wisconsin.

OPENING TO BE LATE
Ice in Lakes Makes it impossible
for the Boats to Begin Nov.
ing Early This Spring
LAKE MICHIGAN ICE BOUND

1t now seems probable that navi-
cation on the great lakes will not
open this year as early as was the
case last year.
From the general summary of ice
conditions on the great lakes, sent
out by the weather bureau, it is
shown that there is more ice this year
than last, and that it is more gener-
ally scattered. In Green Bay the ice
averages from ten to twenty-six
inches in /: thickness, while in the
straits the ice is solid and extends
from the5geast end of Bots Blanc
island to Lake Michigan. In ST.
Mary's river the ice is also solid, ex-
tendingathe entire length of the river.
Extensive ice fields are reported in
Lake Huron; the fields in Lake Mich
igan are also more extensive than
last year, although they have not i'm
peded navigation to any great ex-
tent. In the ST. Claire river the ice
is solid from Port Huron to Lake ST..
Claire, while along the south shore Of
Lake Erie the fields extend beyond
vision. Extensive ice fields also exist
in Lake Ontario, while over the west
err portion of Lake Superior the ice
extends beyond Two Harbors. In the
eastern portion of the lake the fields
are still heavier and more extensive.
The ice in Duluth harbor is re-
ported ito be from sixteen to thirty
four inches in thickness, averaging
about ten inches thicker than last
year. In sAshland the ice averages
from eighteen to twenty inches in
thickness. Sault Ste. Marie has har-
Dor ice twenty-one inches thick, while
in the river the ice is solid the entire
length.
Ice in Little Bay Be Noque aver
ages about twenty-six inches in thick
ness and extends beyond vision. AT
Washington island it is about twenty
five inches thick and is covered with
five inches of snow. At Green Bay
the ice In the harbor is eight inches
thick and solid. The ice fields which
were visible in the southern end of
Lake Michigan, off Chicago, were
carried away last week and are no
longer visible. AT Muskegon the
harbor ice is fourteen inches thick
and the fields in Lake Michigan ex-
tend about 1000 feet off shore and are
piled about twenty feet high. Beyond
that is open water.
In the str AXIS the ice is from twelve
to eighteen inches thick with but lit
tie snow covering it. There are no
wind-rows and open water is seen
east of Bots Blanc island. AT Port
Huron the ice bridge which was
formed there was carried out into the
lake last Friday, and with the change
of wind was again brought back and
now completely blocks the harbor
entrance.
At Put-In-Baylheavy ice extends to
the north and west as far as the eye
can see. There is open water in the
south passage and to the east. At
Buffalo the harbor ice averages twelve
inches in thickness, and the fields in
the lake extend beyond vision. Prac-
tica1ly the same conditions obtain at
Cleveland and Ashtabula, although at
the latter port Ethe harbor ice has
been somewhat broken up.
