The perspective and floor plan
shown herewith illustrate a very ar
tistic cottage designed in the western
bungalow style. Five good sized
rooms are provided, each one very
we'll lighted. The arrangement pro-
vides for that convenience which has
become typical of the western bunga-
low style of houses.
Many practical builders have said
that the bungalow is a fad, no doubt
good enough, it is true, for southern
California, or southern states, such
as Florida and Louisiana, but in the
main not suitable for practical build
Ing throughout the country at large.
1t has been affirmed that the cost of
the bungalow style dwelling is far in
excess of that for the ordinary type
two-story house, providing the same
accommodations.
The criticism against the bungalow
have been due, not so much to the
real characteristics of the style itself,
, as to the overenthusiasm of its de-
voices who have advocated it for
buildings for which it was never in
tended.
Designed originally for summer cot
tage work and for spacious building
sites, preferably of a hilly nature,
there have been too many instances
where this type of dwelling has been
squeezed into narrow city lots and
put in between high two or three

FIVE BONDS STILL MISSING
Northwestern Loan and Trust Com
pany Ready to Discharge Trust
Deeds as Soon as These Bonds can
be Secured.

The Northwestern Loan and Trust
company has not as yet turned over
to the city the trust deed for the Ken
osha Water Works plant and 1t may
be some time before this deed can be
cancelled unless the city makes some
new arrangement. The bonds of the
company were called for payment
months, ago and all save five of them
were presented for payment but al
though the officials of the company
have sent out many letters seeking to
get possession of these bonds they are
still missing. The bonds were orig
inaily sold by H. NJ. Payson and com
pany of Portland, Maine, who fnanc
ed the water works when the plant
was built and this company has made
every possible effort to get the bonds
in so that the first deed could be dis
charged. These bonds are not lost and
the coupons for the interest on them
came in through the Portland bankers
at the time they were called for pay
ment but the owners of the bonds seem
to think that the investment is a good
one and they are holding on to the
bonds The bonds will not draw any
interest after Oct. l, 1911.
The officials Of the Loan and Trust
company have for some time been
ready to cancel the trust bond but this
has been made impossible on account
Of the fact that the five bonds were
missing. 1t is possible that an arrange
ment will be made by which the COM
pany will be permitted to give a bond
to secure the payment of the outstand-
ing bonds and the deed released.
Members of the council have been
figuring on reorganization of the wat
er company but nothing can be done
until the trust deed is out OF the way
The property can not be formally turn
ed over to the city until the bonds have
been discharged. No indication has
been given out as to the nature of the
new management of the water company
but it is expected that the plant will
be put more directly nuder the control
Of the common council of the city and
that the office of Water Commissioner
will become something of a figure head.
The ordinance providing for the pres
ent management of the plant will have
to be<repealed before any new ordin-
ance can be passed and it is not i'm
probable that the repeal of this o1din-
anoe will meet with opposition in the
council. If the council is forced to
give an ordinance twelve votes as pro-
vided by the rules recently adopted it
is hardly thought possible that any
change will be made in the present
management Of the plant. Under a
majority rule for the passage Of ord
inances it is probable that an ordin-
ancc putting the plant under the direct
management of the council could be
passed The council has shown little
interest in the matter and has taken
no steps to elect a successor to Aatt
! Greenwald as a member of the board
| of water commissioners.

ture which can be HAD at very small
cost. Ask your building supply deal
er or building contractor to show you
the designs that can be furnished
along this line at moderate cost.
The kitchen connects with the din
ing room through the pantry, we'll
supplied with built-in cases. This is
an arrangement that has been tested
out In a great many houses and has
been found to be very convenient and
satisfactory. 1t serves to separate
the kitchen from the balance of the
house and so keeps out all the cook
ing odors, and at the same time the
service between the kitchen and din-
ing room is just as near as possible.
The bedrooms in this cottage are
very we'll placed. The front bedroom
opens off the living room and is 10 by
II feet in size. The large closet open
ing off from this, lighted and venti-
lated by a good sized window, is
feature that viii be much appreciated
by the housewife. The second bed
room is in the rear of the house open
ing off the dining room. 1t is by IA
feet in size and has a good sized
clothes closet.
The exterior material for this bun.
galow cottage is rough boards stained
with creosote oil, which is very APP
propriate, economical and substantial
material for this type of house. An
artistic touch is given the gable end
by means Of cement plaster with
board paneling The attic space is
large and is we'll lighted and venti-
lated by means of four good sized
windows.
Prospective builders will gain many
good ideas by the careful study of this
perspective and floor plan.

1t would be difficult for any one to
find anything new to say in regard to
the Lorimer' case but it was left for
Senator Brown of Nebraska to sum up
the situation as it appears to the great
majority of the people of the country
who believe in clean elections in a
new way. Senator Brown realizes that
it is the Senate and not Brown which
is now on trial before the people of the
United States. He said: "a Senate
too cowardly to acquit when acquittal
is right ought to 60 out of business,
and Senate too servile to convict
when conviction is right will be put

Vegetarian Boots and Shoes

An enterprising manufacturer has
discovered a process whereby a pass
able imitation Of leather may be man
ufactured from a vegetable product.
The novelty owes its introduction to
London vegetarians, who shuddered at
the thought Of the number of animals
that were killed annually to keep hui
manity in boots. The imitation leath-
er is being used for the manufacture
of boots, shoes, Bible covers and a
hundred other articles usually found
in the art leather department.

The lectures given blythe patriotic
instructors of the Grand Army of the
Republic to the children of the schools
are the most effective means of incul-
eating the lessons of patriotism and
the visits of the instructors are most
beneficial to teachers and pupils alike.
A half hours talk from an old soldier
who was an actual participant in the

DANvILLE COUPLE WED HERE.
DR.. II. w. Elliot and Mrs. Amy K. Err
Der Married in Kenosha Thursday.


A romance of two prominent people
of Danville, Ill, had its elimination
in Kenosha On Thursday evening when
Judge R. II. Slosson presided at the
marriage of DR.. H. w. Elliot and Mrs.
Amy Kranel Erber, both well known
people Of the Illinois city. 1t was the
second matrimonial venture for both
the bride and groom and it was admit
ted that the announcement of the mar
riage would come as surprise to the
people in Danville. DR.. Elliot and his
bride left for the East Immediately
after the marriage and will spend a
portion of their honeymoon in New
York.
