MERCHANTS Blk. BLDG. IN PERIL.
Police Officer Matt Wade Discovers
Fire Just in Time to Save Big
Blaze This Morning.

The Merchants and Savings Bank
building at the corner of Park and Main
streets, was in grave danger of de-
struction by fire just after one O'Clock
this morning. Police Officer Matt
Wade is just little T'noseyV and
when he discovered a bright light in
the tailor shop of Jens Thorsen on the
second floor of the building he made
an investigation. He found that the
gas iron used in the tailor shop had
been left burning. It had set fire to
the ironing board and the work bench
In the shop and the flames were rapidly
spreading to the easement of the win
dows and other portions of the build
Ing. The fire department was called
and the fire extinguished with a. couple
of tanks of chemicals. The loss was
in the neighborhood of ten dollars. In
few minutes more the fire would
have spread to the halls and corridors
of the building and it is probable that
bad fire would have resulted.
The department was called out at
5;15 Friday evening on account of the
explosion of gasoline stove at the
Cudahy meat market on South Elk
change street. There was no loss as a
result OF this explosion and fire.

SUDDEN CALL FOR MRS. BAILEY.
Mrs. James Bailey Died at Her Home
on Pleasant Street Friday Night
After Short Illness.

Mrs Florence G. Bailey, aged sixty
five years, wife of James Bailey and a
woman widely known in Kenosha, died
at the family residence on Pleasant
street on Friday evening. Death came
very suddenly as Mrs. Bailey had been
i'll for less than a day and none of her
friends had known that her illness was
serious. She was taken with an at
tack of heart disease just after midnight
Friday morning but physicians attend
ing her had not regarded the ailment
as very serious one until late Friday
afternoon when the heart gave out and
death followed soon afterward.
Mrs. Bailey had been very prominent
in the work of women in Kenosha
for many years and her death removed
woman who was greatly beloved
She was born at Niles, Michigan,
July 16, 1851, daughter Of the late
Mr.. and Mrs Erastus Cofinger. She
was educated in the schools at Niles
and afer her school work was com
pleted she taught for several years.
1t was while she was teaching at st.
Joseph that she met Mr.. Bailey. They
were married at Niles on May %, 1873
and their honeymoon which continued
until death entered the family circle on
Friday evening, was begun at Ben
ton Harbor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey lived at Benton
Harbor until they came to Kenosha in
1899 and since that time they had re-
sided in Kenosha. Mrs. Bailey was one
of the older members of the Kenosha
Woman Is Club and she had taken an
active interest in its work. She was
one of the hostesses at the meeting of
the club on last Wednesday afternoon.
She was a member of the Dickens
Club. She gave much to the work of
Park Avenue church of which she had
been member since coming to Keno
sha. On Thursday afternoon she work
ed at the church arranging for bazaar
in which she was greatly interested.
Mrs. Bailey believed in the practical
side Of Christianity and she expressed
1t in many acts Of kindness which en-
deared her to many people. The beau
ties of her life have been reflected in
many hearts and homes in Kenosha and
the announcement of her death comes
everywhere as a personal sorrow.
She is survived by her husband, one
daughter, Mrs. Warren L. Stone, Of
Edmundson, Alberta, and one son, Stan
ley Bailey, formerly of SAM Francisco,
but who had come to Chicago this
morning to make his home.

NO PoMP FOR INAUGURAL.
Governor Philip Decides That Exer-
cises at the State Capitol Shall be
Devoid of Ceremony.

The inaugural to be held in Madison
on New Years Day will be about the
most simple the staid old capitol city
has witnessed in all the years -ib-lfas
marked the passing and coming Of
governors.
There will be no bands, no parade,
no decorations, no military display, and
very little ceremony, because Governor
Phillip has requested that these fea-
lures be dispensed with. In former
years the inaugural was an event of
official, social, and political Importance.
This year, however, the business gov
efnor, who enters upon his second term,
has asked that all pomp and show be
dropped.
1t is provided by statute that state
officers shall take the oath on the first
Monday in January, which this year
falls on New Year IS Day. The fact
that the date falls ON a legal holiday
will not result in any change in the
program, according to the executive
department.
Governor Philip will invite the state
officers to the executive department to
take the oath of office. If his sugges-
tion meets with approval, the inaugural
will be robbed of its public aspects,
and no crowds will go to Madison.
Senator W. w. Albers, Wausau, was
In Milwaukee Friday. Senator Albers
remarked that talk of a short session

one that occupies public interest about
this time every two years.
but there is very bright prospect
OF shortening the session., = said sena-
tor Albers. ct am hopeful that there
will be little less politics than usual.
The length of the session will depend
in large measure on how early we
dispose of the financial program of the
state.

TO ENFORCE BREAD ORDINANCE.
But One Baker Objects to City Regu-
lations at Meeting with Health
Officials on Friday Night.

Health Commissioner Wright met
with dozen of the bakers of the city
at the council chamber on Friday even
ing with view of taking up the en-
forcement of the city ordinance de-
handing that loaves of bread be wrap
ped in oiled paper at the bakeries be-
fore they are offered for sale. Tt was
declared that several of the bakers had
not been observing the ordinance. But
one of the twelve present at the meet
ing made any protest against the en-
forcement of the ordinance. He held
that wrapping rye bread in oiled paper
had tendency to destroy the crispness
of the crust and the health commission
er informed the bakers that it was not
necessary to use the oiled paper, but
that any good clean wrapping papers
could be used. This seemed to be en-
tirely satisfactory to the rye bread
dealers. 1t was understood at the close
of the meeting that the ordinance is to
be enforced from now on and arrests
of bakers violating it will probably be
started the first part of next week.

NARROW ESCAPE FOR DOCTORS.
Automobile of DR.. w. T. Hanley is
Struck by a Street Car on Eliza
beth Street Friday Night.

Doctors w 7. Hanley and A. T. Mus
sell had some of the thrills of automo-
billing just after six O'Clock Friday
evening when the automobile belong
ing to DR.. Hanley was struck by a
street car on the Elizabeth street line
just west of the Offices of the American
Brass Company. Doctors Hanley and
Munsell had been riding west in the
automobile and Hanley had killed his
engine in an effort to avoid a collision
with a wagon. The automobile was
directly on the street railway track
The motorman of the car coming from
the west failed to see the automobile
in the stormy weather and in the col
lision which followed the automobile
was showed fifty feet and pretty well
demolished. Neither of the doctors
were injured as they jumped out of the
car just before the collision took place.
