The Shame of Kenosha.

Twenty five thousand people of
the most progressive city in Wis
consin are today forced to drink
water which the ordinary man
would not offer to his cattle.
Water that is unfit to be used in
wash tubs-water SO filed with
sand and filth of the lake bottom
that it is more suited as a wallow
for hogs than the thirst quencher
of civilized people
1t is the Shame of Kenosha.
The shame of Kenosha is the fact
that the people of city of $4,000 peo-
pie should be forced to use water such
as is running through the mains of the
Kenosha water company today The
old theory that every person should be
forced to eat or drink peck Of dirt
is no longer suited to the people Of
Kenosha as people of Kenosha who use
the city water have long since consum-
ed the peek of dirt and people who
were forced to use the city water today
must have nearly reached the limit in
a single days consumption.
The water through the mains today
was so dirty that it was impossible for
table use, unfit for washing purposes
and SO tiled with sand that it was
worthless for use in boilers. At the
office of the company it was declared
that the condition of the water was
due to the storms that have prevailed
on the lake during the last few days
but people of the city should not be
forced to have their supply of drinking
water practically cut off every time

A house, or habitation, built by hu- man beings ages upon ages ago with stone utensils, stone knives and axes was found last summer in the vicinity of Point Barrow, Alaska, according to A. L. Maxwell government teacher who is now in Seattle,
 Mir. Maxwell and three white men from Point Barrow, while prospecting along the beach of Boring sea in July, discovered a high cliff of gravel the strata of which it was decided had been piled in that lofty way by ice bergs.
 waves had washed away gravel the waves had washed away graved the framework of a primitive house was partly uncovered. The remarkable dwelling was well preserved in the gravel. The roof was made of the ribs of an immense whale or some mammoth beast long ago extinct. The ribs, from twenty to thirty feet long, were set to a center column of rocks after the fashion of an umbrella. Over this framework skins ha1 evidently been stretched. The gravel was washed in so gradually that many of the ribs scarcely moved.

RELICS OF PRIMITIVE MAN
 FOUND IN THE ARCTIC

Convinced of the primitive nature of the dwelling because of the fact that there are no such bones seen any where in the nothern tundra, the men began digging to see what lay on the floor and were successful in unearth- ing stone hatchet weighing twenty. seven pounds, stone knife, or skin- ming knife, fashioned like the modern drawknife of the wood worker, and a bodaka, or boat bailer, rock shaped like a trough.
 The utensil and tools were carried back to Point Barrow and afterward brought to Seattle by MT Maxwell, but the bones were too bulky to be moved. They are in a well protect ed spit and an expedition will attempt next summer to bring them and such other articles as may be unearthed to the States for the purpose of in. stalling in the university museum the house at it stood in the primitive ages.
 The immense bones under eighty feet of gravel and the stone tools war rant the conclusion that they are of the remotest antiquty.

they all agreed. Many thought it
would be wise to drop the name
"Tammany." County democracy,

It was impossible to predict what
the outcome would be, The reform

unknown factor, and the most ex-
nerienced politicians could only won
