DEATH OF PIONEER WOMAN.
Mrs Laura Jeanette Wood Died at Her
Home on Park st. Friday Night.

Mrs. Laura Jeanette Wood, aged 70
years, widow of the late Captain Franz
Wood, one of the pioneer lake men of
the city and county, died at the family
residence on Park street just after
seven O'Clock Friday evening. Mrs,
Wood had been in feeble health for
many months. The excitement attend
ing the fire at the malt house a week
ago is thought to have fastened the
end. The deceased was a daughter of
the late Charles Hill, one of the early
residents of the city. She was born in
New York state, but came here with
her parents in the early days and had
since resided in Kenosha She is sur
vived by two sons, Charles L. Wood of

PEOPLE IMPRISONED IN HOMES
Water in Cellars Raises Three Feet in
Half an Hour and Much Damage Is
Done in Over 40 Homes-Must Elk
tend Trunk Sewer.

A portion of the big territory just
west of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway tracks was under
water on Sunday and today as a re.
suit of the worst flood known to the
property owners in that section in sew
eral years. The torrents of rain which
fell on Saturday night and Sunday
morning proved too much for the small
and inadequate sewers in this section
OF the city and by nine CLOCK Sun
day morning the water was running
out of the sewers and flowing into the
streets and filling the Easements of
people residing in all the territory Law.
ing between Prairie avenue and Avery
street. On Superior and Florence
street the water was four feet deep
on the street and fully forty houses in
the neighborhood had from three to
six feet of water in the easements.
The people were unable to get out of
their homes during the day and sent
frantic telephone calls to the city Of
icials for aid.
The property owners were of the
opinion that the sewers had been
stopped up and City Engineer Bren-
nan and Aldermen Sullivan and Hege-
man Of the sewer committee were call
ed out early in the morning. This ter
ritory is low territory and in past years
it has been flooded by the big spring
rains, but the building of sewers there
it was thought would entirely take
away damage from floods. At six
O'Clock Sur lay morning property own
ers in the territory were congratulating
themselves that Notwithstanding the
big rainfall there was to be no flood.
Half an hour later the water began to
back up from the sewers and catch
basins and by seven O'Clock water was
rising in the cellars at rate of near
ly three feet an hour Many. places
the water was so high in the streets
that it ran into the front doors Of the
houses.
Aldermen Sullivan and Hegeman
were early on the job and they made
an Investigation of the sewers and
found that none of them was stopped
up. They were simply inadequate to
drain the territory. These sewers
were nearly all planned by former City
Engineer Baltzer and the members of
the committee We're of the opinion that
the city would be powerless to grant
relief from the floods without building
bigger sewers.
Alderman Hegeman when seen this
morning said: "The sewers in that
whole territory are entirely inadequate
for the drainage of the land and the
city will be forced to take steps at
once to provide for better drainage
conditions. We believe that this can
be secured only by an extension of the
trunk sewer for about three blocks and
the building of big lateral sewer to
take care of the water to the west of
the railway tracks. I never saw such
flood conditions in Kenosha as on Sun
day morning in this territory. There
was absolutely no trouble with the
trunk sewer, it carrying all the water
without any trouble. y
The waters had subsidized today. but
the people in the territory are greatly
alarmed and they fear that the floods
of Sunday will be repeated with each
big spring and summer rain.

DEMOCRATS sWlNoLEp.

Democratic party workers In five

tiers known to be In sympathy with
the organization.
AS examples OF cruel treachery.
these printed states deserve a place in
a collection OF evidence of the basest
betrayal
These printed copies of the "or.
ganization" slate were paid for by
money assessed upon and collected
from the candidates who were be.
trayed.
The lists were given to voters known
to be organization men, as a guide TO
mark the big ballot by.
Instead OF containing true lists OF
all the men who were named on the
organization slate and who were as.
sessed for that honor, these lists va.
ried In every ward.
That Is, they varied as to the ma.
jority Of the candidates for judicial
and other Offices.

men who paid their good money for
honest organization support were left
of the list entirely in some wards, and
the names of some men who had nc
chance OF a nomination were printed
in their stead.
The names OF the especial pets Of
the bosses were printed on the states
Given 10 the workers In ALL the
wards
In this way the judicial and othel
candidates favored by the gang were
assured OF the full organization vote
and given a certainty OF nomination
The other, and in most cases, mos
deserving men, were thus robbed o.
much OF the support they had giyer
their hard earned money to obtain.

new ADJvTANT GENERALS RECORD

Gen. Henry p. Mccain, the new
head OF the adjutant generals depart
ment of the United States army, has
had rather an interesting experience.
He was an infantry officer and was
serving in Alaska when the Spanish
war began. He was sent on the first
expedition to the Philippines, and had
only engaged in the first brush the
troops had In the islands when he fell
sick of the fever that affected so
many of the Americans when they
first went to the tropics. He was In.
yalided home. and had concluded that
his army career was over, as he saw
little hope of promotion in the future.
Then congress passed law which
provided that appointments to the
adjutant and inspector generals de-
partments should be by competitive
examination. As they say at West
Point and Annapolis. Mccain began
to bone" for that examination. Be-
ing a student. and having been taught
how to study at West Point, he was
able to pass the best examination and
corps. He has been to the Philippine
