FARMER SUICIDES
Frank A. Rousar of kingsbury
County Takes the Pistol
Route

DeSmet, Nov. 1S.-Frank A. Rousar,
a prosperous farmer living in Kings
bury county, committed suicide by
shooting himself. The cause of the
suicide is surrounded by a great deal of
mystery. The dead man was 45 years
of age. He was large and robust and
in perfect health and had no troubles
of any kind, so far as known. that
would warrant his taking his life.
He owned a threshing outfit and.s.this
fall enjoyed a prosperous threshing
season. He also was the owner of a
fine and valuable farm.
He was not entirely out of debt,
but there was no outstanding account
which was crowding him. OF course,
there must have been a reason for the
snicide, but a thorough investigation
failed to reveal it. He is survived
by a widow and six children. The
dead nan WAS a member of the Modern
Woodman lodge Of DeSmet and of a
workman lodge at some point in Iowa
which was not ascertained.

There is no rest for 1.-The Social
DemocratNwho seeks to dabble in poll
tics and this morning it was announc-
ed that the Social Democratic cam
paign committee had started work on

The commencement festivities at
the kenosha high school have opened
early this year and the first function
connected with the closing of the year
was held at the auditorium of the high
school on Friday evening when
the members of the junior class
entertained at the annual 'sJunior
Promenade. y It was a great gather
ing OF youth and beauty and more
than hundred couples were in attend
ance. The decorations of the big hall
were the most elaborate ever arrang
ed for any event and the colors of the
senior and junior classes were mingled
in way to produce scene of rare
beauty. The music for the evening
was inspiring and the merry romp of
the dancers was continued until early
morning. In all the party was one
of the most successful student affairs
ever given in Kenosha and the COM
mittee in charge of the event is en-
titled to highest praise.

MAY RAISE RATES
Royal Neighbors May b
Forced to Follow Lead
of Woodmen.
MEMBERS TO DECIDE QUESTION


Rates Of the Royal Neighbors must
be raised, says DR.. Hada NJ. Burkhart,
supreme recorder, or the life of the
organization, like that of the Modern
Woodmen, will be threatened. The
statement was made fat gathering of
the supreme board of managers in
Rock Island last week.
No official action on the issue will
be started at this time, but ultimately
it will come. In order to familiarize
members of the organization with con-
ditions, letters bearing on the situa-
ton have been mailed them.
At this session the board of manag-
ers discussed the proposed addition to
the office building which will rise at
Third avenue and Sixteenth street in
Rock Island. A sketch of the build
ing has been prepared and is in the
hands of the managers. 1t is expected
TO Degln work OH the structure In early
fall and have the building completed
by spring. The estimated cost is
100000.
The building plans which have been
suggested involve an improvement
which will nearly treble the size of
the Royal Neighbor head office, giving
ample room in which to carry out the
immense volume of necessary work.
The new wing is to be erected on the
north side Of the present structure.
Like the present building, it is to be
three stories in height, will extend
further to the east and to the west
boundary line. The front of the
building viii be remodeled SO as to
furnish another entrance. A portion
of the building will be used for the
society's printing department.

FLY CRUSADE STARTS
City Housewives Urged to
Swat" Flies Early in
the Season.
CLUB WOMEN TO URGE FIGHT

The season of the year has arrived
when it becomes the patriotic duty of
every American to swat the fly and
keep on swatting him from cellar to
garnet, from early morn It'll dewy
eve, = in any and every possible man
ner whether by main strength or sci
entifc method.
We are going TO hear a good deal
about flies this coming summer. In
previous seasons crusades against
these pernicious little disease carriers
have been prosecuted with more or
less vigor, but this year the war is to
be waged in a systematic scientific
manner. Down south they have al
ready started swatting the fly. The
health authorities of Georgia, Florida,
and Louisiana are putting up posters
depicting the habits Of the house fly
and its proclivity for gathering and
disseminating disease germs. The
principle Of the fewer flies, the less
sickness is being impressed upon
school children as well as housewives.
The state food and drug commissioner
of Tennessee has offered two gold
medals to school pupils for the best
essays on the house fly as menace
to health. Out in California the wom-
en- have organized for the good fight.
The Texas health officials are issuing
bulletins warning the public against
their subtle foe. The Merchants AS
ISOLATION of New York has issued
rules for dealing with the fly
nuisance.
A little pamphlet written by w. D..
Biggers Of Detroit, while it contains
many statements, scarcely suitable for
breakfast table perusal, deserves a
wide circulation for its plain portrayal
of the evils that follow in the train

one, but it is true bill. The fly is
put in the same class with the mad
dog, the snake in the grass and the
wild animal roaming at will, for the
fly is insidious. He turks in every
corner. He plants his disease germs
on your bread He buries them in
your butter. He browns them in your
baby's milk bottle. There is no es-
cape if he once enters your home.
The lesson is obvious; put your
screens in early. Don t wait until the
enemy is legion, but start the battle
while there is some chance of winning.
The fly must go.

Water Commissioners Ac-
cept Plans for Receiv-
ing Well.
DISCUSS INTAKE PROPOSITION

The plans and specifications for the
new receiving well to be built in CON
nection with the plant of the Kenosha
Water Company were accepted and ap-
proved at a special meeting of the
commission held on Friday afternoon
and the work on the well will be
started within the next thirty days.
The new we'll will cost in the neigh.
borhood of $4,000 and when completed
lit will largely increase the pumping
capacity of the plant. The well will
be thirty feet in diameter and thirty
feet deep and will be built Of rein
forced concrete. 1t will have a capa-
city of 100000 gallons Of water.
This is just four times the capacity of
the present receiving well. The new
well will be built just south of the
present well and the old we'll will not
be abandoned. With the use of the two
wells the capacity Of the plant will be
largely increased. The new well it is
thought will bring a better pressure
in the water mains.
The board took up the discussion
of the proposed new intake and it was
the concensus of opinion among the
members of the board that with the
building Of the new receiving well it
would be possible to lay over the
building of an intake for another year
or probably longer. The new well will
be sufficiently large to take care of
the proposed extensions of the intake
even if the new pipe put in is twice
as large as the present intake.
| The board took up demands for ex-
tensions of the water mains in MANY
parts of the city and many extensions
will be made during the coming spring
and summer months. The people in
the new serritory recently annexed
to the city are demanding the city
water and plans have been made al
ready to lay six inch extensions of the
mains on Prairie avenue and Salem
avenue. The pipe for these extensions
has been ordered and it is expected
that the work of putting in the mains
will be well under way within a few
| weeks 1t is expected that the bust
ness of the company will be largely
increased this year as plans have been
made for extension of the service to
many Of the outlying districts of the
city. 1t was held that the new re-
ceiving well was necessary before any
further extension of the service could
be made
| The members of the commission will
go in body to Louisville later in the
year to attend the annual meetings of
the American Water Works Associa-
ton. The members attended the SEES
tsions held last year and got many new
ideas in regard to water service from
the various sessions.

SENDS FORMAL NOTICE.

In an effort to secure better observ-

nance Of the Kenosha Electric Rail
way Company in regard to the sprink,
ling OF the streets on which railway
tracks are operated the chairman of
the council committee of streets and
alleys this morning sent the company
"a copy of the provisions OF The ordi-
nance in this regard with a notifca-
ton that the company would be ex-
.pected to carry out these provisions
beginning at once. The ordinance pro-
vides that the sprinkling of the streets

a great deal Of complaint over the way

committee is hopeful that the rail
way company will see to it that there
is no cause for complaints this season.
