Mrs. Mary Hale Allen, Pho
neer Woman of City,
Died This Morning.
LONG A RESIDENT OF KEKOSHA

Mrs. Mary Hale Allen, aged "a years,
widow Of the late Nathan Allen, and
probably the Oldest Of t9e pioneer
women Of Kenosha county, died at her
home on Chicago street just after five
O 'clock this morning Mrs. Allen had
been stricken with paralysis a week
ago last Sunday and since that time
her condition had been critical. For
the past five or six days she had been
unconscious and her death was not IN
expected. At the time of her death
her daughters, Mrs. G. E. Arnold and
Miss Julia Allen, were at her bedside
and the one son, Nathan Allen, is in
Paris.
The death of Mrs. Allen marks the
passage of woman who had seen and
had part in much of the development
of the county and city. Mrs. Allen
was native of Paris Hill, New York.
She was daughter of Samuel Hale
and her family was one of the earliest
settlers in New England.
Mrs. Allen was married to Mr.. Allen
Oct. 25, 1843, and since her marriage
she had spent her entire life in Keno
sha.
Coming to Kenosha in the early days
Mrs. Allen had part in the struggles
Of the pioneer residents of the city
and she was one Of the most active of
the women of Kenosha for many years.
A woman Of culture and refinement she
was leader in Kenosha until she was
forced on account of declining years
to give up her interest in affairs of the
city and its people. Although she was
we'll over ninety years Of age Mrs. Al
len had been in excellent health until
stricken with paralysis and her cheer
full disposition made her prime fav-
orite with those who knew her BEST
Before the breaking out of the civil
war Nathan Allen, the husband of
Mrs. Allen, had been one of the strong
abolitionists of the county and Mrs.
Allen was among the women who aid
ed in making provisions for the Keno
sha county soldiers who went to the
war.
Funeral services viii BE held from
the late residence Of the deceased on
Thursday afternoon at 4 O. clock.

FOURTH FIRE IN A GENERATION
Flames Break Out in Attic of House
and Spread Rapidly-Costly Furnish
ings Saved by Work of Firemen and
Volunteers of Fire Mystery.
(From Wednesdays Daily. }

For the fourth time in generation
the Kimball homestead on Prairie
avenue was Quilted by fire just before
noon today and before the flames could
be extinguished damage to the amount
of from $4,000 to $4,000 result
ed. The loss is thought to be entirely
covered by insurance of $4,000 carried
in the companies of the Kenosha
Realty Company.
The fire was discovered just before
eleven O'Clock by DR.. George 7. Kim
ball and at the time it was confined to
small portion of the attic of the
house. DR.. Klmball called the fire de-
partment and the department respond
ed promptly, but when the fremen ar
rived the flames had spread to all por.
tions of the attic and the entire upper
portion of the house seemed to be in
flames.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
scene Of the fire and volunteers rushed
into the house and carried out thous-
ands of dollars worth of paintings and
art treasures which had been collect
ed by the late J. Fl Kimball. The fire
gained rapidly, but the volunteers and
the fremen worked with such vigor
that all of the furniture was taken out
Of the house and most of it was taken
out without being damaged. The fire
men worked like trojans to prevent the
spread of the flames from the attic. OF
the house and FIVE lines of hose were
in use. Several Of the fremen were
shocked with electricity while working
in the attic and one of them was over.

ing the fire just as if nothing had hap.
pened. The fact that the building was
not entirely destroyed was due to the
efficient work of the department.
Efforts to locate the cause Of the fire
were futile Chief Isernan made an
investigation of the attic, but all wir-
ing had been so completely burned
away that it was impossible to tell
whether or not the fire had been caus-
ed by defective wiring or crossed
wires.
Nine years ago just after the rebuild
ing of the old Kimban homestead it
was the victim of similar fire to that
of today and afterward it was rebuilt
on larger scale. The interior Of the
building had many costly decorations
and nearly all of these were completely
ruined by the water. 1t IS probable
that the house will be rebuilt at once.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. n Kimbal were liv-
ing in the house at the time and Miss
Anna Kimball, is visiting in the east,

MAY GET INTO COURT.
Troubles Of Contesting Factions of
Polish Org anization Getting Serious.

Threats of court action were heard
among delegates to the national Po-
lish convention today as a result of
the big fight ON the floor of the con-
vention over the seating Of contested
delegates The facts in the case had
not been made public, but it is known
that one of the factions in the conven-
ton has retained an attorney. This
afternoon it was declared that the
troubles would probably be settled
amicably, but it is still possible that
there will be an appeal to the courts.
DR.. Carl Wagner was named as presi-
dent Of the convention and this morn
ing the delegates still wrangled over
the seating of contested delegates
Leaders declared, however, that all
would be settled during the afternoon
and that the list Of accredited dele
gates would be made up without an ap-
peal to local courts. No business was
done by the convention at the morning
session save the discussion Of the
rights of delegates to sit in the con
vention.

Z COMING TO THE RHODE.
The Siege of Petersburg, in two
Reels, Friday, Matinee and Night.

In many respects this is the most
remarkable civil war production sver
presented by the Kalem Company.
The various assaults on Petersburg,
Virginia, while that city was being be-
sieged by the Federals, have been
made the basis Of a powerful dramatic
story. The strategy and fortitude Of
both armies are displayed with as
founding realism. One of the scenes
depicts the collapse of burning
bridge which is occupied by fighting
soldiers. The explosion of a gigantic
mine and the battle when ensues offer
a series Of undeniable thrills.

PLAN COUNTY ORGANIZATION
Committee Promises to Start Work at
Once to Make Campaign One Of the
Best Ever Conducted in County-Re-
ports Indicate Republican Success.

Alfred L. Drury, well known attor-
ney and Republican candidate for Dis
trict Attorney was elected TO succeed
Postmaster R. V. Baker as Chairman
of the Republican County Committee
at the first meeting of the new COM
mittee held at the court house on Tues
day afternoon. Louis Grosvenor was
named as Secretary of the committee
and Fred Becker as Treasurer. John
T. Yule and Robert M. Holderness
resigned their membership in the COM
mittee and Chairman Drury was named
as member from the Second Ward
and John Huxhold as member from
the second precinct of the town Of
Pleasant Prairie.
Chairman Drury will at once take
up the work of Chairman and with the
aid Of other members Of the commit
tee it is planned to put on very
vigorous campaign in the county. The
meeting of the committee was an en-
thusiastic one and reports brought
from the various towns and wards in
the county indicate that the prospects
for Republican success are decidedly
bright this year. The members of the
committee assert that while there may
be some division of the party on the
question of the presidency that there
will be no division in regard to the
county ticket and that the normal Re
publican vote will be brought out this
year and that there will be no "knif-
ing" of the county candidates on &C
count of differences of opinion in re-
gard to the National ticket.
It is admitted that there are many
supporters of Col. Roosevelt among
the Republicans of the county but
these men to a man are favorable to
the Republican county ticket and they
are not breaking away from any of
the old party affiliations so far as the
county ticket is concerned.
The new County Committee will
make vigorous campaign for the en-
tire Republican ticket and will have
charge of the distribution of the lit
erature of both the National and State
committees.
1t is planned to perfect an organi-
zation in every town and ward in the
county at once and an effort will be
made to instill some of the old time
vim into the campaign. For the first
time in many years the committee
starts with balance in the treasury.
Treasurer John H. Hegeman of the
old committee has turned over to Fred
Becker the new treasurer between $75
and 500 left from the last county
campaign.
The committee has been advised
that a lot of speakers will be assigned
to Kenosha county by the State and
National committees and among the
number will be many of the best
known Republicans of the state and
nation. The Republican National
Committee has arranged to make Wis
consin a real fighting ground this year
and it is probable that Kenosha will
see lot Of the activities Of the cam
naion

THAT KENDRICK EXHIBIT.

There is no necessity of wasting
words. ]. F. Brown of Kendrick, auth
or of signed article in the last issue
Of the Idaho Post, is malicious liar
We say malicious because he makes
statements that he knows are absO-
lutely false. He knows they are lies
and he knows that there is evidence
to prove they are lies. }. +. Brown
brought the Kendrick exhibit to Mos
COW where it was exhibited at the
county fair last fall. AS secretary OF
the Moscow Chamber of Commerce the
writer promised Mr.. Brown that If
he would have an exhibit at the Latah
county fair we would see that 1t was
exhibited at the Spokane fair. We told
him that the expense would be borne
by the Moscow Chamber of Commerce;
that the Kendrick exhibit would be re-
turned to Moscow, all free of expense
to Kendrick More than this we told
Mr.. Brown that P. L. circuit, as secre-
tary of the Moscow Chamber of Com
merce, would exhibit all the products
of Latah county at the Spokane fair at
no expense to the outside precints.
Nothing was ever promised Mr..
Brown as to premiums won. No
thought was given to this because
there were no premiums offered for
county exhibits The fifty dollars
finally won was a special award made
after the fair opened and after P. l..
Orcutt had appealed to the Spokane
fair people to take some recognition |
Of county exhibits. All Latah county |
was entitled to, under the rules, was
a blue ribbon.
Mr.. Brown says that he paid half the
expenses He did not pay one cent
from the time the exhibit left Mos
cow till it was returned to Moscow,
except his own personal expenses, and
as it was optional with him as to
whether or not he attended the fair,
t was his business to pay his own

Work.
The department of domestic art in
the university has grown rapidly in
the last few years. There are now
enrolled in the freshmen class alone
Sc members. The sewing in this class
consists in learning the primary
stitches, and in applying them in var
ious ways and later in making simple
and useful articles. The principles
of drafting are also studied and few
patterns made.
The advanced sewing classes are
making articles of great practical use.
The class in advanced dressmaking is
very successful in making pretty
dresses, many being of silk and wool.
Next semester a strong course is go
other in fine hand sewing. This year
it has been decided to require the
freshmen work in sewing, before al
lowing anyone to enter either of these
classes. In millinery the girls make
their own hats for spring wear, after
studying the new styles.
Besides these two courses tailoring
is to be started next semester Party
capes and wrapes, suits and coats will |
be very popular.
Then there is a shorter course for |
the six months student 1t is as
strong and as practical in it's value
as is the short course offered in agri-
culture for the boys, and will doubt
ess prove as popular.
