HAD MARROW ESCAPE
Miss LYDIA O'Hare Narrowly Escapes
Being Burned Thursday

Miss LYDIA O'Hare, well known
young woman Of the city, who is to
be the bride Of NJ. F. Bode, the well
known furniture man in short time,
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury at the home of Miss Ida Ferry
on Thursday evening. A linen shower
was given in honor of Miss O'Hare,
when one of the Japanese lanterns
which had been used as decoration
for the house caught fire and the burn
ing lantern fell down striking Miss
O'Hare on the head. The table cover
nearby and a small portion of Miss
O'Hare s hair caught fire from the
flames but the other guests at the
party hurried to the rescue and the
flames had been put out before they
had done any serious injury to the
young woman. However, her escape
was decidedly narrow one.

How to Clean Bronzes.

1t is not good plan to clean bronzes
as the polish is very easily spoiled, but
if necessary nothing is better than
cleaning them with water and am
monia, using a stiff brush like a nail
brush. Dry carefully after rinsing
thoroughly They should be carefully
busted every day with a soft cloth and
a feather brush. and a little sweet oil
may be rubbed on occasionally. To re-
move stains from bronze make the
article very hot by dipping it in boiling
water Then rub it with a piece of
flannel dipped in suds made from vel
low soap, rubbing clean with soft linen
cloths.

We have heard some criticism of tn

We have heard some criticism Of the
action of the County Board Of Super
visors in increasing the salary Of the
District Attorney to $1,000 year, but
the people who make these criticisms
can have little knowledge Of how much
the business of that office has increased
in the last few years and of the enor-
nous amount Of work involved in the
faithful discharging Of it's duties. In
creasing the salary of the District At
torney was an act of simple justice that
should have been done long ago and
even at the increased salary this county
pays less than some other counties
where the duties are not half so arduous
as here in Kenosha.

How to Wash ivory Ornaments.

Wash ivory ornaments we'll in soap

How to Amuse Children.

A quiet. rainy day game for children
old enough to read is to cut out all the
animals and birds you can find; then
write the names of each on small slips
of paper, let the children have one cor
ner of the room for playground. and
let them place all the animals on the
floor; then find the name of each one.
It will not only amuse them for hours.
but they will soon learn to know all the
different kinds of animals and birds
Give them crayons and let them color

The city is overrun by horde of

ance the people of the city are obliged
to suffer from his attentions and if
there is no ordinance now in force by
which such license can be collected
the council should pass one without de-
lay. In not levying a license tax on
these people the city is losing good
chance for considerable revenue which
can be collected with the assistance Of

Now is the time for every voter who
has any interest in this city to do his
level best to persuade the best men in
his ward to take nominations on the
ward tickets, A big percentage of the
money raised by taxation is spent by
the school board, the best mayor can
accomplish little for the city unless
ne has good council behind him, and
surely it has been demonstrated time
and again that the city needs some of
its Influential men to look after it's
interests in the county board Of super
visors. Good government does not de-
pend half so much upon what is known
as the administration as upon the men
Tho are nominated and elected by the
wards.

HEARST ON BRYAN.

The following is an editorial from
the Hearst paper, the Chicago Exam

the most powerful wings Of the Demo

Dental candidate in the democratic
party ever marched to his nomination
with more apparent unanimity and less
enthusiasm than Bryan is moving with
his lone column on Denver.
The remarkable part Of his campaign
is that the independent democratic
newspapers and the majority Of the
democratic leaders do not wish him,
and that the people are in the main
Indifferent to him. The Washington

posed to him. Daniel Of Virginia and
Jones of Nevada and others have openly
insulted him as leader. There are
scores of strong individual voices in
his own ranks opposed to him, and if
these could be brought together and
unite in any coherency and energy the
nomination might go to Johnson of
Minnesota.
But the sheer timidity of The leaders
and the sheer apathy Of the masses

even easier loser in the election

The physician and the newspaper
may harp on the necessity Of boiling the
drinking water day after day, but it
is certain that very few Of the people
OF the city pay any attention to the
repeated warnings and go to the trouble
to take ordinary precautions to protect
themselves from the dangers of drink
ing polluted water. Still more surpris-
ing is the fact that with plentiful
supply of the purest and best water
obtainable anywhere right at hand the
city has made no arrangements to give
the people easy access to it.
We refer to the old artesian wells of
the old water system, the flow of which
is still ample to supply drinking water
Tor the whole city, and. there is no bet
ter water for drinking purposes. A
few fortunate householders still have
this water in their homes, but there
IS no way the general public can get
any of it except as a favor from one
OF these householders, and most of the

Is mighty poor way to dispose Of
quantities of good water and the least
the city should DO is to put in hydrants
on the artesian water mains in different
parts of the city, for the use of the
general public. We are not any too
sure that great numbers of the people
would avail themselves of the opportun-
lty to get this pure water after the
connections are put in, but they should
be given the chance to do so.
