Water in City Mains Unfit
For Table Use or For
Washing Today.
COnlIssl0N OFFERS NO HELP
(From Wednesday $ Daily

Kenosha s need of a filtration plant
was emphasized again today when the
storm on the lake stirred the clay from
the lakes bottom and the water which
came through the mains to the homes
in the city this morning was almost as
black as water taken from a muddy
pig sty. Tho water was unfit for table
use and unfit for any other use. There
was enough clay and sand in it to
thicken it and people refused to drink
it. Many complaints were lodged at the
offices of the water company early in
the morning and the people making
complaints were advised that the COM
pany was poWerless to give the people
of the city clear water today on ac-
count of the storm on the lake. 1t is
declared that the water was dirtier to-
day than it had been in more than a
year. People who were forced to use
the water for washing clothes today
found their labor in vain as when the
were found to be covered with a sedi-
ment of sand and clay which made
them fit subjects for another trip to the
wash tub. On account of the fact that
the water was unfit for washing hands
and faces a lot of children went to
school this morning with dirty hands
and faces.
Kenosha is not alone in her complaint
against the condition Of the lake water.
The same complaints were being re-
ceiyed at Milwaukee, Racine and Wau.
kegan today. It is admitted that ex-
tended intakes viii not do away with
this trouble and the only way that the
water can be cleaned is by the installa-
ton of a filtration plant The people
have turned down the question of issu-
ing bonds for the filtration plant and
the members Of the water commission
hold that they have no power to act in
the matter as against the expressed
will of the people. Under these con-
ditions it is probable that the people
viii have to struggle along with the
dirty water or install filtration plants
for their own homes. There IS no rea-
son to expect any early help for these
conditions from the city.

SEEK ARMED MANIAC.
Illinois Officials Search in This County
for Man Who Escaped from Asylum

Officials from Lake and McHenry
counties in Illinois are searching
through the southern part of Kenosha
county in an effort to capture man
lac alleged to have escaped from the
asylum at McHenry, H., some three
days ago. He was trailed through
Lake county and is supposed to be in
hiding somewhere in the southern part
of this county or in the swamps along
the lake front between Winthrop Har-
Dor and Kenosha The officials have
declined to give out the name of the
man but he is declared to be six feet
tall, has a four or five days growth of
beard on his face, dressed in ragged
coat and some old overalls. The man
is alleged to be violently insane. He
is said to have entered several places
in Lake and McHenry counties and is
declared to have taken from these
places, blankets, eggs, milk, razor and
revolver. 1t is thought that the
maniac has established himself some
where in the swamps along the lake
and that he is going to defend himself
against capture. The man il reported
to have been seen at several places
near the Kenosha county line but no
word has been received from him since
Monday evening and it is thought that
he has found a place where he plans
to conceal himself and make a stand
AGAINST capture. 1t is declared that
the man is dangerous maniac and for
this reason every possible effort is be
ing made to locate him. Local ofic-
ials have been advised to be on the
lookout for him but no reports of any
one answering the deserintion of the
wandering maniac have been sent to
Kenosha.
