ASSAULT A PHOTOGRAPHER.
Arthur Mole, Well Known in Kenosha,
Has Exciting Experience at Zion City.

Arthur Mole, photographer at Zion
City, was the victim of a most brutal
attack at Zion Saturday. He had his
nose broken in the fight he waged to
save his camera from destruction.
The name of his assailant is known,
and he will be arrested on sight. That
the assailant escaped from the clutches
of the law, by jumping on a fright
train, is the latest report that reached
Kenosha from Zion City. Mole was
following the crusaders through the
streets, taking pictures when a young
man kicked his camera from his
hands. A fight followed.

BRIGHTON HAS HOT TIME.
Two Candidates Tie for Town Officers
at Election on Tuesday.

Belated reports from the election
in the town Of Brighton on Tuesday
indicate that this western town is
still on the map and when the excite
ment cools down there may be some
court cases. 1t is claimed that saloons
in the town paid no attention to the
election laws and that liquor was sold
in the town during the day and that
the opposing candidates used it to
further their campaigns. The count
ing of the vote revealed two ties.
Anton Daniels and Louis Rhodes were
tied for the Office of side supervisor
and Rhodes being generous, refused to
draw lots and gave the Office to
Daniels. Matt Jackley and Hub.
zeyen were tied for the Office of town
treasurer, but when lots were cast
Jackley, the present treasurer, won.

First Use of STAGE Money.

Stage money, that is, money Of no
value off the stage, is first said to
have been used by David Garrick in
the eighteenth century. The money
is said to have been made by the
wealthy actor-manager SO as to look
actually like real money. There was
little money, even of this counterfeit
kind, used in the days of Shakespeare,
because of the scarcity of any kind OF
money, particularly among actors.

MAY HAMPER CITY CONTRACTS
Sewer Contractors Schedule Liabilities
of $4,000 and Assets Including Claim
Against City of 81, 800 Bank Named
as Largest Creditor of the Company

Frieberg and Laureson, sewer con-
tractors and very much in the lime
light recently in connection with the
fiasco in building the sewer on Lyman
avenue, filed voluntary petition in
bankruptcy in the United States court
for the eastern district of Wisconsin
in Milwaukee on Wednesday after
noon. The failure of the sewer build
ing company is mostly of Importance
on account of the fact that the affairs
Of the company getting into the bank
ruptcy court may greatly hamper the
work of the city in securing the com
pletlon of the sewer on Lyman avenue.
In the petition the contractors sched-
ule liabilities to the amount Of $1,000
and assets Of $4,000. 1t is claimed
that the larger part Of the assets is
the claim of the contractors for that
portion Of the Lyman avenue sewer
completed by them before demand was
made upon the bondholders to take
hold of the work and complete the
sewer. The largest creditor Of the
company is the First National Bank
of Kenosha with claim for $500.
This money was. advanced by the bank
during the sewer work with the un-
Outstanding that the company had i'll
ed an assignment of the contract to
the bank. While notice of this as
signment was fled with the city clerk
no action was ever taken on it by the
city council 1t is evident that the
contractors will demand that the
amount they claim from the city be
used for the paying of the debts of
the company, but it is probable that
the bonding company will go to the
court if necessary to have this amount
held by the city pending the compile
ton of the sewer.
The city council has declined to take
any action in the matter and no money
will be allowed until after the sewer
is completed. There are many small
claims against the company. Work
men who were employed by the com
pany sold claims for labor with the
understanding that these claims were
to be guaranteed by the city or by
the bonding company. These claims
are now in many hands and it is prob
able that they will be paid, but the
holders of the claims will have to wait
until after the bankruptcy proceedings
have been taken care of.
The bonding. company has shown a
willingness to complete the sewer, but
it is pretty certain, that the new move
on the part of the contracting firm
will have a tendency to delay the
work by this company. The sewer
committee of the council previous to
the filing of the bankruptcy petition,
had notified the bonding company to
proceed at once with the building Of
the sewer. The city officials hold that
the bankruptcy proceedings will in no
way affect the contract between the
city and the bonding company.
The contractors have no attorneys
and tie petition in the Milwaukee
court was fled by them in person.
However, attorneys are rapidly TAX
ing an interest in the petition as repre-
sentatives of the creditors and it is
probable that there will be a warm
fight over the naming of trustee for
the bankrupt.

German chemist Professor Robert Bun

Professor Bunsen evaporated fifty
hogsheads of water from the Durk-

caesium and rubidium. He dissolved

Chinese Idols.

The Chinese. according to a mission
airy, are the most exacting of worship
ers. When they pray to their idols
they ask for definite material blessings
and they expect results. The life Of an
idol in China is precarious. Gifts will
be heaped before it only as long as it
seems to be bringing about the wishes
of its followers. If the shrine falls
upon evil times and disappoints its
worshipers their homage soon fades.

that will exist SO long as the State
is without place where tubercular
colored people may be placed for
the protection of the community.
In this case, the tubercular patient
is a small colored girl who lives il
little house with relatives There
are four adults in that house, two
men and two women, three of them
working in families, the other in a
laundry. The child is in the last
stages of tuberculosis, yet those four
people are in contact with her every
night. Two other members Of the
household have died of the disease,
and the family seems to have no
idea about taking precautions for
their own protection and that of the
people for whom they work.
There is no place for the tubercu-
lar colored, so the suffering child
will have to stay in that little home,
throwing off battalions of germs to
go forth and do their dread work.
And her relatives will continue TO
leave that disease-laden atmosphere
each morning to work among the
unsupported white folks Of that
community.
Here is a danger right in our very
midst. The only solution Is sana-
forum for the tubercular colored
people, for their shelter and the
protection of this community. The
matter should be urged upon the
next Legislature, but the public viii

hoods in which they now live, in
