Members of c. A. R. in Keoosha
Urged To Celebrate Memorial
Day and Flag Day
TO SCATTER FLOWERS ON LAKE

Local posts and camps Of Civil and
Spanish war veterans and societies af-
fliated with them will observe Memorial
day this year in more extensive man
ner probably than observed in previous
years Orders have been received from
the national headquarters Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic and United

observance of Memorial day.
This year Memorial day falls on Sat-
urday and no doubt all factories, public
buildings, banks and offices will be clos
ed in order that employees can fttingly
observe the day by decorating the
graves of departed ones.
The veterans of the Civil and Span
ish wars will probably hold joint SER
vices in the morning and will decorate
the graves of departed comrades while
the Fred S. Lowell Post, G. A. R. will
send a detail of men to decorate the
many graves of departed comrades of
the Civil war.
Copies of general orders, No. 5, issu-
ed by the COMMUNICATIVE of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, Charles
E. Burton, Kansas City, Mo-, were to-
day received in Kenosha. These relate
entirely to the observance of Memorial
day, May 80. The head of the G. A. R.
says:
Saturday, May 80, will be fttingly
observed by the comrades of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Children of the
public schools, as far as possible, under
direction of their teachers, or school
officials and all patriotic societies and
organizations should be invited to par
ticipate in the ceremonies of the day.
'The address of President Abraham
Lincoln at Gettysburg, November 10,

MUST CLOSE SALOONS
Victory for Saloon Men in Winthrop
Earbor 80 be Decidedly Short

-AoA OO4 W NC OOCAACI-Ay 0A1OlS
The saloon men in Winthrop Harbor
who were rejoicing over the fact that
Winthrop Halbor voted as a village
for saloons on Tuesday were cast into
gloom this morning when it was learn
ed that the Supreme Court Of Illinois,
had decided that where townships had
voted "dry' villages could not vote to
remain "wet. f"
The village of Benton in which
Winthrop Harbor is situated went
dry" at the election two weeks ago
and under the ruling of the Supreme
Court Winthrop Harbor must be gov
erned by this vote. There are two sa-
looms in the village and both of them
have for years done thriving bust
ness. Under the decision of the voters
of the township these saloons will both
be closed on the first of May and re-
main closed until the township by a
two-thirds vote gives them the right to
open. Both of the saloons had been in
existence for years and they are said
to have been operated largely by Keno,
sha and Waukegan capital.

SHOWED UP ON THE sTEPPE.

When winter sets in adventures by
rail are frequent and the process of
"roughing it" is trying. Often trains
are showed UP at little squalid sta
lions on the steppe, when the passen-
gers can get nothing but black bread
and tea. For hours? Aye, and for
days. 1t depends on the authorities
how long the i'll starred travellers
shall abide
This year numerous trains were
caught in the snow, almost buried
there, and generally on the open
steppes fifty or sixty miles from a
lemon and a hundred miles from a
beefsteak. The passengers besought
the stationmaster and others to have
them dug out and to clear the line.
They even telegraphed to the Minister
of Ways and Communications, and re-
ceived assurances that the order
would given. 1t was given-and dis
regarded.
Story telling and card playing in
the Pickering light of candle were
the most serious occupations of the
prisoners on the steppe. In one case
that came under my knowledge "he"
and she" met for the first time under
these uncommon conditions, fell in
8 love; over a sausage, a stale roll and
a pot of weak tea, which he hap
pened to have, and they married
shortly afterward.
Here is copy of one of the tele-
grams from showed up passengers
that were sent this season: This is
the second day that we are kept by
snowdrifts here in the lonely station,
Pookhovo. In spite Of the energetic
. telegram of the Minister of Ways and
Communications the manager of the
line has taken no efficacious meas
ures. We are doomed to linger on
here for an indefinite period "

1t. Brings Health And Hair.

Health and happiness and, new hair
for the bald are sure to follow the

the version of H. G.. Dexter, it's in
ventor. He has, just been cured of
Rheumatism, he declares; has felt his
lungs expand and his heart leap with
youth, although he is now eighty
one years old, and has grown new
hair on a head that was bald.
The chest shield which resembles
a baseball catcher's mask, is struc-
ture of light wire soldered together.
1t is eight inches square. 1t has a
convex curve that is u inches at
the greatest height and slopes gradu-
ally back to the outer rims. The
framework is hung about the neck
by a string of elastic and is intend
ed to rest directly over the heart and
lungs.
"Anybody," said Mr. Dexter, "can
obtain benefit from this simple and
valuable device. 1t rests next to the
skin and keeps the undershirt. from
subsiding upon the chest in a dead
sog. In this way the air circulates
over the heart and lungs and imparts

Electricity in Mining.

One of the striking results of the
utilization of water-power for the
development of electricity to drive
machinery is seen in mining districts
where the absence of fuel has long
presented an obstacle to the economi-
cal employment of steam. A won
derful change is reported to have
taken place in this respect during the
past year or two in Mexico. In the
State of Guanajuato the increasing
cost of fuel had rendered impossible
the further mining and milling OF
many grades of ore, which are now
again profitably worked with the aid
of electric machinery, actuated by
the water-power obtainable IN the
neighborhood. The fact that electric
power can be transmitted long dis
lance is also taken advantage OF In
well-wooded districts, where the fuel
is burned on the spot, and the result
ing mechanical power is sent by cable
TO the mines.
