soRNEo VIEW OF CREATION.
First Appearance Of Man According to
legend Of a Wild Tribe.

Many and various are the Dyak ac-
counts of the creation, and none or
them coincide. They are unable to
describe or to say who is the Deity
(Betara), but they say in one OF
their accounts Of the first appearance
Of mankind that the Petara gave birth
to a boy who was without his menu
bers and cast him into a pit, when he
became Pulang Cana, the god of the
earth.
The second child born to the Petara
was girl, and she had no nose, so
was set adrift on river, becoming
Raiah Jewata, the god Of fishes.
The third child was without any
human form, and it was placed on a
bough Of tree, where it became an
orchid.
The fourth child was a girl, who was
named Siti Permuni, and she was cut
to pieces, the bits becoming padi,
pumpkins and other plants.
The fifth child was a boy, and he
was called BLANC Pinggang, as he had
white stripe round his waist, and he
became Ini Anda and lives in the heav-
ems.
The sixth child became animals and
birds, while the seventh was a girl,
and Ini Rajah Pipit called her Day.
any Petri
All the brothers and sisters lived on
| charcoal, but she alone refused to eat
it, crying night and day. and she was
finally taken to the house Of lni Rajah
/ Pipit, where she obtained rice TO eat
and seeds for planting padi, single
| padi seed being about the size OF a
large mango fruit. She married a man
called SalIumbang Maron Bunsu Che
maya Umbang, and she and her hus'
band farmed the land, finding the
work not at all laborious.
The padi was only planted once and
it lived for many years, bearing fruit
continually; the baskets for the padi
could walk to the farm and on their
arrival there the padi jumped into
them Of its own accord and the filled
baskets walked home again, and when
it was being dried 1t jumped up and
down and husked itself One day Day
ang Petri took a winnowing basket
and began to reap the padi herself
and this rash action Of hers at onc'
caused the padi to stop reaping itself
and what was more, caused it to giv'
only one crop before it died, as i
does today.
The Uyaks have three other accounts
of the Creation, one being that man
kind was produced from a certain
tree called Kumpang, the sap Of whicl
is like blood; another, that friabl'
earth was the origin Of life, and ye
another, that the birds Iri and Arr
were the creators.-The Rev. William

BREAKS SILENCE AGAIN
Warning Sent Out That Reports on
Complaints Are to be Handed Down

The State Railroad Commission at
Madison has broken its silence again
and letters have been sent to several
cities in the state in which it is stated
that the commission is planning to
hand down decisions on complaints
made against rates charged by public
service corporations. 1t is expected
that the Kenosha case will be one of
the first decided. The complaint was
filed with the commission Just two
years ago by former mayor, James Cor
man. It is thought that if the com.
plant had been pushed by the city
officials that it would have been hand
ed down before this time, but for the
past year the matter has been allowed
to drag along and if the commission
touches the Kenosha rates in the report
to be handed down in couple of
months it will be only in compare
tive manner.

RACINE WOMAN POINTS WAY
q
Finds That Paupers Gould be Made
Self Sustaining if Proper Steps Were
Taken and Relatives Forced to Act
for Them.

People in the city who have taken q
deep interest in the case of the pau
pers and alleged paupers who are re
ceiving aid from the city, are suggest
ing that Kenosha through the common
council take some steps to learn the
exact facts in regard to the people OF
the city who are dependent on the
city. During the year just closed the
city of Kenosha spent more than ST. ,00(
a month on the care of its paupers
and it is thought that this expenditure
might be materially decreased if an
investigation was made. Alderman
Werner recently elected poormaster OF
the city has made an investigation OF
the conditions but it would be entire
ly satisfactory to him to have a deeper
probe made by persons who are in q
position to know the exact conditions
of the poor of the city.
In Racine this work has been done
by the leaders Of charitable organiza
tions and it is stated that some re
markable facts have been brought out
1t is not improbable that similar con
ditions prevail in Kenosha. Mrs. An
ma w. Bartholomew, trained worker
among dependents conducted the in
vestigation in Racine and it is thought
that her work will result in a great
saving to the city of Racine and that
in addition to this financially saving it
will be possible for that city to adopt
a system which will make many PEG
pie who have been dependent on the
city for support or partial support self
sustaining.
In Kenosha the main reasons fol
people being on the support of the city
is the desertion of wives and families
by men who are perfectly able to take
care of those dependent upon them
This was found to be the fact in Ra
cine and through the investigation the
pauped committee of that city has been
enabled to find some of the missing
men and forced them to return and sup
port the families.
This plan has in a measure been
tried in Kenosha, but of course it is
of little value in remeding the trou.
BILE to have the men returned and sent
to the state prison. In Racine it was
found that many of the older people
claiming support from the city had
sons and daughters who were amply
able to support them.
Alderman Werner has made a careful
study of the poor in Kenosha and it
is just possible that within a short
time he will be able to reduce the num-
Der now receiving aid from the city.

Railway Commission Holds
Phone Must Be Put in Fox
River Station of n. W.
FOR ADEQUATE" SERVICE

The Wisconsin Railroad Commission
has handed down decision directing
the Northwestern Railway Company to
put in telephone in the waiting room
Of the company at the village of Fox
River in the western part of this coun-
| ty holding that telephone in this
railway station is essential. to the
proper transacting of business by the
railway company and that the 200 peo-
pie who do business with the company
at the station. The decision was hand
ed down in answer to a complaint filed
by the shippers of milk and other pro
ducts living in the neighborhood of
the Wheatland Telephone Company
1t was signed by about 200 farmers
who were using the Fox River station.
The petition was regarded as very
unusual one and officials of the com
pany refused to put in the phone on
the ground that it would prove a bad
precedent and that if a phone was in
stalled at the Fox River station there
would be demand for such service in
many other places. In its decision
the commission has found that tele-
phone communication in passenger
station of the railway company for the
accommodation of passengers and ship
pers is necessity of reasonable and
adequate service of railway company
It is thought that the fight started
by the people in the neighborhood of
Fox River will prove costly thing
for the railway company as already pc
titions are being prepared to ask the
railway commission to order phones
placed in other stations along the line
of the western division of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway. There
are now pay stations in all of the sta
tions of railway companies in Kenosha,
but it is not improbable that efforts
will be made to force the railway COM
pany to install free phones in these
stations
Of course in the Kenosha station the
company has its own phone and it is
always available for the use Of ship
pers and in most cases for passengers.
However, this phone is located in the
offices of the company and not in tho
public waiting room at the station.
The conditions at Rox River are
rather unusual on account of the fact
that the railway station is about the
only available place for the placing of
a telephone while at other villages in
the county there are phones placed in
stores and other public places.
The Fox River case was brought up
by the officials of the telephone com.
pany and it is probable that other com
plants will come from the same
sources.

trolled by persons of the same religious

of schools, to compare carefully the re-
ports of attendance and enrolment

BEN WINDSOR SURPRISED
Employees of the Office of the Windsor
Spring Co. Surprise the ''Boss.''

Someone put one over on Ben Wind
sor, the president of the Windsor
Spring Company on Wednesday night.
1t happened to be Mr. Windsor s birth
day and the men who are employed in
the Office of the Windsor Spring Com
pany were not DESTROYS that the day
should pass without his knowing that
he was growing older so they all drop
ped round to Mr. Windsor's residence
late in the evening and took their
wives and sweethearts with them. Mr..
Windsor was completely surprised but
this did not prevent him from acting
the host in his usual pleasing manner
and the evening proved very enjoy
able one. A dinner was served at
which covers were laid for twenty and
after dinner was over Mr.. Windsor was
presented with a beautiful mahogany
wardrobe as a remembrance from the
guests of the evening.
