Novel Use For Gunpowder.

EARLY in the sixties of the last cen
tury," writes Rev. Fuller Mills, a
Welsh clergyman, "I was a boy behind
the counter OF what was known as the
company's shop at Abertillery. Among
the collier customers who came to the
shop was a tall, well developed man
known as Dick Stevens or Stephens.
HE was a member of the prize ring
or the pugilistic fraternity, which was
very popular in those days.
Dick Stevens was matched to fight
Ianto Catcham and was preparing for
the fight when he came to the shop for
his weekly requirements. - He
generally asked for an ounce or two
Of gunpowder. I wondered at this. and
my curiosity was aroused.
IT asked what he used it for. His
reply was: I mix it with my gravy
when I have my dinner and swallow
it, 1t prevents the flesh from easily
putting under the hard blows of an OPP
ponent The cuts and bruises are not
so hurtful and heal more easily"

MIGHT GET 'EM BACK.
Marshall Ventilated Mattress Company
Not Satisfied With Conditions
at Waukegan.

The Marshall Ventilated Mattress
Company, which removed from Keno
sha to Waukegan few months ago, is
threatening to take up its bed and
walk right out of the southern neigh
Dor. The officials of the company in
innate that they were bunked by Wau-
kegan people into thinking that Wau-
kegan was a better place in which to
run factory than Kenosha. Now the
company finds that it can not get the
right kind of help and that there is a
good deal of kicking against the people
il does employ. The managers said
yesterday that four other cities had Of
fered it a chance for location and that
il might move Some one might sug-
gest to the Marshall people that the
big bosses probably know that there is
a factory in Kenosha which has some
vacant space. It is hardly probable
that any organized effort would be
made to get the company to return to
Kenosha and no bonus would be offered
it. However, Waukegan may yet be
disappointed in the one thing that it
took away from Kenosha.

Planning Work.

What gigantic plans we scheme ana
how little we advance in the labor of a
day! If there is one lesson which ex-
perience teaches surely it is this, to
make plans that are strictly limited
and to arrange our work in practica-
bic way within the limits which we
must accept. Others expect so much
from us that it seems as if we had ac-
complfshed nothing. What! Have you
done only that?" they say, or we know
by their looks that they are thinking it.

conjunction with meeting of the exc
cutive board of the congress.
Mrs Temper committee probably
has a surprise for the congress when it
meets in Madison next month, as should
the principal speaker be the man they
now expect, it will be something Of a
triumph, for he is one of the most inter

who is to talk on "Moving Picture
Problems Mrs. Head has made an
exhaustive study of the picture situa-
ton in Kenosha and in other uncensored
towns and it is believed that her talk
will be one of the most interesting of
the program, and because of this an ex-
ira amount of time for general discus.
sion is to follow her talk.
Among other well-known men and
women who will appear on the program
are DR.. G. A. Harper, state health Off

The Gentle Ar of Smiling.

A mother had little girl, her first
child, who seemed to have been born
with scowl. Perfectly we'll, still she
had a morose disposition which II
seemed as though nothing could alter
When a second child was born the
mother made rule that no one should
look at the baby without smile. With
the imitation of childhood the baby al
once began, even in her early weeks,
to smile back, and as she grew, and
the rule still held in the home, she de-
veloped into what every one who knew
her called "the smiling baby" and
grew up with the sunniest disposition,
joy to every one. Now, what that
mother did any mother can do. A child
may actually inherit serious, even a
sullen disposition, yet these may be
crowded out while they are undevel-
oped by the habit of cheerfulness.-

Teeth of a Shark.

In respect to its dentition the shark
is a very remarkable creature. The
white shark has seven rows of teeth,
while other species vary in the number
Of rows they possess. 1t must be IN
derstood, however, that the shark only
uses one row at a time. The other
rows lie down inside the mouth be-
hind the edge of the jaw, erecting
themselves when it is time for them to
take successfully the place of the first
row. When one observes how keen
edged these incisors are it seems no
wonder that they can bite off big
rope as readily as If it were thread

OF RURAL DELIVERY
Property Owners Demand Racine and
Kenosha Clubs Seek to Have r. r.
Commission Order the Installation
of Sideways at Bad Crossings.

Bitter opposition developed to the
plan for changing the route of the
lake shore road between Racine and
Kenosha at a meeting held at the rooms
of the Racine Commercial Club on
Wednesday afternoon. Personalities
were engaged in by contending fac
lions and threats of court action were
made. Kenosha county people were
represented at the hearing by A. E.
Buckmaster, who appeared for the
Kenosha Automobile Club and gave
the assurance that the members Of
the Kenosha club would do everything
possible to aid the plan.
The opposition came from the prop
erty owners residing along the present
route of the road from what is known
as the Johnson IS crossing to the county
line. Forty of these property owners
were present at the meeting and they
were represented by Attorney Peter
Meyers of Racine. They held that a
change in the route of the road as had
been proposed would result in their
losing rural delivery of mail as the
government would arrange routes to
follow the new road
The members of the Racine CONNER
cial Club made proposition leading
to the opening of a new road midway
between the tracks of the Chicago and
North Western and the electric line.
The club gave pledge that if such a
road was opened it would provide a
fund to pave it with concrete and have
it improved during the coming build
ing season in the same manner that the
other roads were improved. Property
owners who would give land for the
proposed new road were entirely agree
able to the proposed change and they
are ready to deed the land for the
road. The protesting property owners
suggested a counter plan. They sug-
gested that the Commercial club of
Racine and the automobile club of Ke-
nosha take the matter up with the
North Western Railway company and
seek to have gates installed at both the
johnson and the county line crossing.
They also suggested that an appeal be
made at once to the railway commits
sion of Wisconsin to have the North
Western company ordered to install
subways; at both of these dangerous
crossings.
Attorney W. W. Storms represented
Racine county at the hearing and the
Racine club was represented by it's
attorney NJ. E. Walker. With prom
Uses of injunctions and court fights it
was the general opinion that the
property owners along the present
road were pretty well in control of the
situation and for this reason it was
decided to have an effort made to bring
the matter to the notice of the railway
company and the state commission.

HoLDUP MEN GET A YEAR.

Quick justice was handed out in the
cases of the State VS.. John Slack and
Ray Cubinski, who were arrested on
last Friday night charged with holding
up Fred link of Woodstock, ILL.,, here
on the previous evening. On Saturday
afternoon the two men entered pleas
of guilty to charges of larceny from
the person. Investigations showed
that the men had not been working
and that there was reason to suspect
that they might have been connected
with other breaches of the law. Judge
Randall gave them each a year in the
state prison at Waupun and they
were taken to the prison to begin
their time today.

John Slack and Roy Cubinski, both
said to be employees of an electric COM
pany in Milwaukee, were arrested late
Friday night charged with holding up
and robbing Fred link, the Woodstock
man, who came to Kenosha on Thurs
day afternoon to witness the boxing
show. link identified the men at the
police Office this morning and later
when they were arraigned in court
Slack intimated that he was willing to
plead guilty to the charge and Cubinski
declared that he was with Slack all the
time and supposed that he was guilty
too. The judge refused to accept this
sort of plea and the hearing of the
two men was continued until Thursday
and they were returned to jail, being
unable to furnish bonds of $1,000 each.
Slack was formerly employed as line
man by the Wisconsin Gas and Electric
company. He is said to have borne an
excellent reputation during an employ
ment with the company over a long
period Of time.
| link, after making his report of the
robbery to the police on Friday morn
ing, remained in Kenosha with view
of aiding the police in searching for
the men. His description of the two
men aided materially in locating them
and on Friday afternoon Chief O'Hare
learned that Slack and Cubinski had
been spending considerable money in
saloons about the city. He picked them
up on Market square in the evening.
When they were arrested the two men
denied all knowledge of the robbery Of
link. When they were searched, one
of them had a pocketbook in which was
found the chain which had been on the
silver watch worn by link. It was
easy to identify the chain on account
of the fact that it had been repaired
with piece of black thread When
the two men learned Of this fact, Slack
admitted that they might have got
link s money. It was found that the
watch had been given to relative of
one of the men and the police expect to
recover it. In court this morning Slack
declared that he had been drinking with
link and that he did not know how he
| happened to have his watch and chain
He also declared that he might have
taken the money but asserted that he
had no remembrance of the transaction.
link declared that in all he had lost
somewhere in the neighborhood of $45
besides the watch and chain. When he
came here from Woodstock he had this
sum of money. He had placed $40 in
his trousers pocket for "good time .
fund and had put the other $35 away
in vest pocket. Both the good time
fund and the rainy day fund were mis-
sing when link came to his senses Fri
day morning.

NOTHING ELSE TO TAKE
Copen Place Has Been Fixing Out Mis-
cradle Existence According to Stories
of Police and Closing Up Was a
Favor to the Men Who Run It.

One of the hundred and some varie-
ties of saloons in .Kenosha was not in
working order today as just after ten
O'Clock last night Chief O'Hare took
the license under which Harry Copen
has been operating "place" at the
corner of Church and Park streets.
The saloon has been under investiga-
ton by the police for long time.
The chief has repeatedly declared his
intention of closing it up.
The closing up on Monday night
came as a result of an execution is
sued in the municipal court. A whole
sale liquor dealer secured Judgment
against Copen and the execution was
turned over to the chief O'Hare and
Police Officer William Bienemann went
tc the saloon late Monday night. The
chief displayed the execution. stWell
what have you got here Copen," he
asked the proprietor, who was busy
behind the bar. The chief did not
wait for a response but started an in
vestigation. He found a few partially
emptied bottles of liquor, few bottles
Of beer and a part of key Of beer.
Four or five boxes of cigars made up
the rest of the stock in the place.
IT don't see enough here to satisfy
this execution continued the chief,
"and I guess I will have to take the
icense.'' Copen protested, but the
chief pulled the F'picture' off the
wall and asked Copen to turn over the
keys to the place. There was only a
small company in the saloon when it
was closed up. Copen protested, but
regardless of the protests the chief
took the key and locked the front door
and he declared that the place would
not be re-opened. ttThis is no place
for saloon anyway was the COM
ment of the chief as he walked away
Juggling an electric fan in one hand
and the license in another.
The Copen place has been consider
ably in the limelight. No specific
court cases have been developed out
Of the place, but many complaints
against it have reached the police de-
partment during the past few months.
Tt is probable that Copen will make
demand upon the council for the re-
turn of the license, but it is under
stood that the license committee is
not any too friendly to the place and
it may remain closed indefinitely. The
lease on the building is held by Mil
waukee Brewing company. It is de-
clared that the place has been losing
venture and the brewing company may
seek to give up the lease and make no
defense to save the license.
