title Girls Narrow Escape.

Beatrice Sanbower, the tTee-year-old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. George San
bower, had a narrow escape from death
a few days ago. She was playing at the
home OF William Jones, on Main street,
when the cover OF the cistern gave way
beneath her and she fell into the water.
By great good fortune the child grasped
the pump chain and so kept herself from
sinking until her cries brought assistance
Mrs. Jones got a garden rake and hooked
it in the little girls clothes, drawing her
from the water until Mike Shell could
reach her and lift her to safety. 1t was
a very narrow escape, but the child IS
none the worse for the experience.

Electricity Gets Loose.

A serious accident occurred at Shenan-
doah Junction last Saturday afternoon, by
which three men had narrow escape
from instant death. J. c. Matthews,
section foreman on the Norfolk & Western
Railway, Joseph Martin, of Shenandoah,
Va, and his helper, Hoyt Stillwell, were
making repairs at the N. G w. water sta
ton at the Junction. They were taking
the sucker rod from the well, and as they
lifted the long iron from the water and
passed it up through the roof and above
the building it came into contact with the
wires of the Winchester and Washington
Electric Company, which carry atremen-
dous electric current from the plant at
Millville. All three OF the men were
shocked severely, and Martin, getting
caught where he could not escape from
the deadly contact, was badly burned.
His clothing blazed and his flesh Sizzled
until others could get rope and pull his
body out OF danger Matthews was but
slightly injured, but Stillwell seemed TO
be in a serious condition at first, though
he afterwar1 recovered. Martin and
Stillwell were taken to Charles Town TO
the hospital, where they were given med
ical attention. Charles B. Mcdonald, OF
this place, was helping with the work,

Common Drinking Cup Put
Under Ban By Wisconsin
State Board of Health
WILL PROTECT THE SCHOOLS

The common drinking cup must go
in Wisconsin. It's doom has been
sealed by the state board Of health at
it's recent meeting in Madison. By
the passage of rule which upon Of
fetal publication will have all the
force and effect Of law, the board has
taken notable and far-reaching meas
ure toward the prevention of infecti-
GUS diseases. The new rule reads as
follows:
The use Of the common drinking cup
on railroad trains, in railroad stations,
in the public and private schools is
hereby prohibited.
No person or corporation in charge
of or control Of any railroad train, or
station, or public or private school, OF
state educational institution shall fur
nish any drinking cup for public use,
and no person or corporation shall per-
NIT on said railroad trains, or stations,
or at SAID public or private schools or
state educational institutions, the com
mon use of the drinking cup.
A similar rule, promulgated by the
Kansas state board of health, has stood
the legal tests, and inasmuch as the
Wisconsin laws are deemed full as
strong as Kansas it's validity and
strength is not doubted
The board adopted also a, rule re-
curing that no person suffering from
pulmonary tuberculosis shall be permit
ted to attend public schools until the
local health officer furnishes written
believed to have or suspected of hav-
ing this disease is free from it.

Rebuilding of Country Club
I House and New Lockers to
be Started Very Soon
FUND IS RAISED FOR PURPOSE

The work of rebuilding the club
house of the Kenosha Country Club is
NOW definitely decided upon and the Of
ficials of the club have sent notices to
the members directing them to remove
their clubs from the club house. The
club house is to be opened on next Sun
day afternoon for this purpose and it
is expected that there will be gen
eral cleaning out of the lockers at that
time. The work of rebuilding the club
house will be started just as soon as
the weather will permit and the plans
Of the club officials are rather elabor-
ate. Very nearly $4,000 has been
subscribed to the fund and this will
provide money enough for the erection
of new and modern locker room for
the use Of the men Of the club which
will be located to the west of the pres
ent club house The club house is also
to be arranged in new way. The
dining room will be made much larger
by taking in the greater portion Of the
men s locker room, but a small part
of this room will be reserved for the
use of the boys of the club as locker
| room. The locker room which is provid-
ed for the women will also be improv-
ed. The new locker room for the men
will contain many conveniences not
found in the old building.
While considerable work is to be done
| it is expected that it will be completed
by the date set for the opening of the
new season.
The coming season promises to be a
busy one for the Kenosha golfers and it
is expected that many cracks of the
club will get down to practice early in
the year with view of entering the
state tournament which is to be held
at Lacrosse. The Kenosha club will
undoubtedly have strong team to con
test for the Yule trophy this year and
men from this club are expected to
make good showing in all the open
tournaments held in this district.

WILL ORGANIZE "REGULARs'
Movement Suggested by Kenosha Man
at Annual Meeting Of Wisconsin
Club in Washington Thursday Night
Gains Much Support.

Charles H. Becker, former Kenosha
news dealer and now holding "a govern
ment office in Washington is to be a
leader in a plan to organize Taft clubs
in all parts of Wisconsin and he launch
ed his movement at meeting of the
Wisconsin Republican club held in
Washington on Thursday evening. Mr..
Becker was named at the head Of an
executive committee of the organiza-
ton to have charge of the work of or
ganizing these clubs and the movement
will be inaugurated in the very near
future.
The annual meeting of the organiza-
tion brought out many Of the leading
Wisconsin Republicans in Washington
and the suggestions of Mr.. Becker for
the formation of auxiliary clubs in
Wisconsin met with an instant response
from a large number of the men pres
ent. In making the suggestion Mr..
Becker declared that the Republicans
in Wisconsin were now badly divided
and that many people in the state were
not in harmony with the administration
on account Of the fact that they did
know what was being done in Washing
ton. The petty differences between
politicians in Wisconsin it was declared
had gone a long way to destroy party
harmony and in many ways the party
had been misrepresented by Democrats
and men who had done nothing to ad-
vance the interests of the party in the
Dpast. The plan as discussed provided
for the organization Of all the voters
in the state who were favorable to
President Taft without any considera-
ton Of state issues.
The plan was laid over until an adj
journed meeting of the organization
which is to be held early in March and
at which it is expected all the Wiscon-
sin representatives in congress will be
present. @
In the meantime the members of the
executive committee of the organization
will get into touch with the Taft lead
ers here in Wisconsin and work out the
best plan for organization of these
clubs.
The move ment of course is in the
interest Of the president and will be
planned to advance his standing in
Wisconsin. Many Of the men interest
ed in the movement have already start
cd campaign for Taft and the admin
Iistration policies by flooding the state
with literature, but it is thought that
this work can be better done with an
organization, that will be state wide.
Mr.. Becker since leaving Kenosha to
ccept the government position in Wash
ington has always been an administra-
tion man. He is not a stranger to
organization in Washington as he. had
part in the organization Of the Nc
Kinley clubs during the second admin
istration Of the late President McKin-
| lev.

PLANS OF BUILDING ACCEPTED
New Building Will Contain Four Rooms
With Provision for Future Ad-
ditions-To be Ready Early in Sep
TENDER.

School District No 10 in the town
of Pleasant Prairie is going to set a
new mark for rural school districts in
the county and to this end the directors
of the school district have accepted
plans for the erection of a new school
for the district which will be the most
modetN and up to date school erected
in any of the rural districts of the
county, The district has grown rapid
ly in the past few years and as it en-
braces that territory known as Keno
sha Heights it is not improbable that
within few years it will be. portion
of the city of KenOsha. Last year the
inspectors of the state visited the school
and found that the accommodations pro-
vided for the children were entirely in
adequate to the demand and they order
ed the board to take steps to secure
the erection of a new building at once.
The progressive people of the district
d
and Architect Joseph Lindl was COM
missioned to draw plans for the new
building. These plans have been ac-
cepted and bids for the contracts will
be received within the next two weeks.
Between now and the time that the
building is started it is planned to hold
a special election and provide funds for
the building of the school by the issu,
lance of bonds.
The new building will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. It will be
of vitrifed brick and stone and con,
tain four large class rooms and provi.
sions will be made for the addition OF
four more rooms should they be de.
manded in the future. The directors
believe that in a short time the school
will be in the center of very populoui
neighborhood and the directors consId
cred the fact that the city might in
the future decide to enlarge the build.
ing
The building will be 43x57 feet il
size and will have all modern appoint
ments of an up to date school.
It is planned to have the school build
ing completed by the opening of the
new school year in September next.
At the present time many CT the
children from this district are attending
the schools of the city the expense OF
their tuition being provided by the
district. This was the plan arranged
between the district officials and the
state rural school inspectors and it il
planned to continue this scheme unit
