PASSENGERS IN A PANIC.
Motorman Believes Attempt was Made
to Wreck Chicago Milwaukee Train.

Twenty five passengers were thrown
into panic and badly shaken up on
Monday morning when what is beiev-
ed to have been an attempt to wreck
a limited car on the Chicago and
Milwaukee road occurred just north
of Waukegan.
The car due at Edison Court, Wau-
kegan, at ten o'clock in the morning,
was speeding along nearing that city,
when p A. Peter, the motorman, no
ticed something on the rails several
hundred feet ahead of the car. Be
fore he had time to ascertain what it
was or apply the brakes the car struck
the obstruction and was lifted several
inches into the air.
Fortunately the front trucks of the
car came down on the rails again and
thus prevented q bad derailment.
Women passengers on the coach scream
ed and several men ran to the front
end to see what the trouble was. AS
soon as he could, Peter stopped the
car and Conductor H. Ford, who was
standing on the rear platform at the
time, hurried down the track.
Six large spikes, three on each rail
were found where the trucks had left
the rails. These had been placed cross
ways on the rails and in such way,
that if the car had been going at top
speed it would have been hurled into
the ditch.
The track was cleared and the car
started up again. It had not gone far,
however, when another similar ob-
struction was noted and cleared away.
This time the spikes were taken by
the crew and will be turned over to
officials of the road in an effort to
learn where they came from. The mo-
torman declared there was no place
within five miles Of the spot where the
spikes were found where such nipple
ments could have been secured and for
this reason it is believed by the au-
thorities that they were carried there
and placed on the tracks with the de-
liberate intention of forcing car
from the rails.
The sheriff IS Office in Waukegan and
the local police have been notified and
an effort is to be made to locate the
party or parties who placed the spikes
on the tracks.

Government Experts Tell
How to Get Best Results
With An Old Lawn.
RE-SEEO|NG IS THE BEST CURE

Improvement of an old lawn is
very much more difficult problem than
establishing new one. In many cases
1t is impracticable to attempt the i'm
provement of an old lawn that is in
bad condition, say the specialists of the
Y. >. Department of Agriculture. How
ever, If a reasonably good turf obtains,
It is possible to better it materially by
Ireseeding, fertilizing, and watering. In
the majority of cases improvement is
desired in the spring, since at this sea-
son many bare spots are in evidence as
the result of the preceding winter. If
the areas to be improved are small,
they can be handworked and reseeded
with little difficulty. If they are large,
1T is usually advisable to spade them
up, work thoroughly, and seed, as in
the case of starting new lawn. In
any event, reseeding should be done
early in the spring with liberal guam
tlty of the mixture before described.
When the stand of grass is thin over
the entire lawn or greater portion of
1T, special seeder equipped with small
disks has been found very satisfactory
for cutting the seed into the sod and
thereby producing favorable conditions
for termination and subsequent growth
In the early spring, however, the soil is
usually loose as a. result of the freezing
and thawing and is in sufficiently open
condition to permit the seed to be COW
cred with little difficulty. After seed
ing, if the ground has become quite
dry, rolling is usually beneficial. Care
should be taken when moving or water
ing the newly seeded areas to avoid
disturbing the young grass. This eau
tion always applies in measure to fall
seeding, although there is not SO much
danger of damage in the case of the
latter.
The management of the lawn after
it is once established is an extremely
important matter, and there are a few
general practices that should be fol
lowed carefully. Beginning in the early
spring, the first thing to do is to remove

There has always been feeling that
the people of the city should be given
a chance to absorb at least one issue of
municipal bonds and it is possible that
the experiment will be tried with the
next small issue of securities the citv
puts on the market The two issues
the city is preparing to send out i'm
mediately must be sold in blocks to
the highest bidder because the money
is needed at once. So many people
have expressed themselves In favor of
trying to induce the people of Kenosha
to purchase their own bonds that it
looks as if small issue would find a
ready market at home. The differ
ence between promotion and promises
and performances was so clearly shown
in the difficulties EXPERIENCED by lie
Industrial Association in collecting
from subscribers for lots in its subdi-
vision that many business men are of
the opinion that the "demand" for
municipal bonds is not so strong as it
appears to be and that some of the
people who are loudest in their demands
that the people should have chance
to buy bonds woulG be the last to pur-
chase any themselves. This expert
ment has been tried in other cities
with small success, but Kenosha has
established good many precedents in
one way and another and may do so in
the distribution of bond issues

ceived, the contract is awarded by the
board, the proper form of contract and

signed by the president and secretary
of the board; the forms used for this
purpose being approved by the attor-
ney general.

mates, building contracts and bond are

If more employers would follow the
course announced by the Lincoln Ma
tional Bank and several commercial
houses recently there would be less
danger of "unpreparedness. A let
ter to Maj Gen. Organ from the
president of the bank promised that
its employees who were members of the
national guard or naval militia would
receive leave of absence for military
service without loss of pay and with
out having the time thus lost from
work deducted from their vacation al
is difficult to obtain recruits for the
national guard is the objection of en-
ployers to having their young men
liable to military duty at times incon-
venient to the concerns. 1t is, of
course, against the law to discharge an
employee for doing his duty in the
military organization to which he be-
longs, but there are ways to get around
that law, as employers and workers
well know. The expenses of belonging
to the guard and the time necessary
for drills and camp training seem suf-
fciently onerous to the average young
man, so that he thinks twice before
taking the risk of mourning his en-
ployer' s i'll will also by DESERVING work
for military duty when he is needed at
his daily task. Fortunately, business
mel are coming to realize that it has
been a short sighted policy to frown
on militia sevice. The Merchant s
Association has a standing committee
on military affairs, which is conduct
ing a campaign among the members of
that organization to encourage them to
give their approval to the enlistment
of their employees in the practical fash
ion pursued by the Lincoln National

Arson, Smuggling and Theft Alleged in
Connection With New Strike Troubles.

OouuoCtIOu WIFI NeW SCrlKe ITOuDloS
Arson, smuggling and theft are new
features which have made their APP
pearance in connection with the Zion
City laceworkers strike situation as a
result of the renewal of the Z strike"
feature which suddenly came on a few
days after Marshall Field refused to
take back all of the strikers who walk
ed out some ten weeks ago.
Here are the latest incidents that
took place Saturday night, at least
one of which is traceable to former
lace factory workmen who have been
refused their jobs back.
First-Fire is started in barn of
Charles Wilkinson, French laceworker,
who entered the factory as new en-
ploye while strike was on; policeman
saw fire and extinguished it; rags sat
urated with kerosene found near place,
showing incendiarism; arrests likely to
follow as strong suspicious are held.
Second - A dozen men attacked
Clarence Botrom, aged twenty-one, his
feetness of foot enabled him to escape
with but few punches; he recogniz-
ed some of assailants and to his father
they apologized and admitted they had
meant to beat up Frenchman en-
ployed in their place at the mill.
Third-Clothes stolen from the line
of French laceworker; that they
were stolen is shown by the fact that
clothes line was cut into pieces and
thrown near house in order to show
that mere theft of clothes did not
inspire the thieves.

Familiarity
Breeds
Carlessness

That's the answer to the Ques-
ton, What becomes of all the
watches?"
Just a little care and attention
will keep your watch in the
best of condition. Don't think
a watch in a dust proof case
can't get dirty. 1t isn't so
much the dust that makes it's
way into the works that rem
ders cleaning necessary. It's
because the oil thickens with
age and dries up. Friction then
wears and Injuries the delicate
bearings. Once each year you
ought to have your watch oil
ed, and it is useless to put on
new oil until the old has been
removed by a thorough clean
ing.
How long since your watch
was oiled?
Bring it here today and have
it examined. If it needs any
attention the work will be done
right, guaranteed for a year,
and the charge viii be the low
est for which perfect work can
be done.

The notices have been sent out by
the college of agriculture of the uni
versity in regard to the farmers In
stitutes for next winter and all COM
munities planning on holding insti-
tutes are warned to get their appica-
tions in early. The value of these in
stitutes is becoming more generally
recognized and applications for them
are becoming so numerous that all can
not be supplied SO that early applicants
will have the advantage. Kenosha
wants at least one of these institutes,
but does not want to interfere in any
way with any arrangements that may
be made for Institutes elsewhere in
the county and the Retailer s Associa-
tion will probably take the matter up
with the chairmen of the towns and
leading farmers in order that there
may be no conflict in dates. The in
stitute last year brought the people of
the city and the people of the county
closer together than they have ever
been before and it was decided then
to make the institute an annual event.
It's influence in every way is too good
to be lost.

To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
A PHYSICIANS Advice.


Most thin people eat from four to
s. pounds of good solid fat-making
food every day, and still do not in
crease in weight one ounce, while on
the other hand many Of the plump,
chunky folks eat very lightly and keep
gaining all the time. It's all bosh to
say that this is the nature Of the in
'dividual. It isn't Ma res way at all
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective
They just absorb enough OF the fooa
they eat to maintain life and a SEM
blance of health and strength. Stuff
i.-g won't help them. A dozen meals a
day wort make them gain a single
stay there" pound. All the fat-pro-
ducing elements of their food just stay
in the intestines until they pass from
the BODY as waste. What such peo-
pie need is something that will pre-
pare these fatty food elements so that
their blood can absorb them and de.
post them all about the pody-some-
