NURSES GIVE UP BANQUET.
Money Appropriated for it Will be
Turned Over to Red Cross Work.
Generosity is Appreciated.


The generosity of nurses from the
time of Florence Nightingale, the most
noble of all self-sacrifcing nurses
whose history has been given to the
world, has been proverbial.
The class of nurses about to be gra-
duated from Kenosha Hospital Train
ing School are no exception to their
sisters who are older in the profession
Before the war was declared the pro-
gram for the commencement exercises
of the school, set for May %, included
an elaborate banquet to which the doc
tors of the city and their wives and
the hospital directors and their wives
were to be invited.
Now all this is declared off. The
amount of money which was to have
been expended for the banquet will be
turned over to the Red Cross funds as
the gift of tie 1917 class of Kenosha
Hospital Training School
Miss Katherine Olmsted of Milwau-
kee, supervisor of anti-tubercular work
in the state and member of the pub
lie health department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin extension course will
make the commencement address to
the nurses.

Boy In Advanced Stages of Pneumonia
Is Rushed to Hospital to Save His
Life, and Second Child Follows
May Send Children to Institution.

DR.. w. E. Nelson, of the city Health
department, closed up a house ON the
north side on Saturday night when he
caused the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs. Dom
mick Karnope. Karnope was placed
in the city lookup, his wife and two
sons, Clement, aged five years, and
Dominick, aged three, were taken to
the county jail. The third son of the
family, Thomas, boy eight years old,
was suffering from a raging fever in an
advanced stage of pneumonia and an
ambulance was summoned and he was
taken to the Kenosha Hospital. The
man and woman were held on charges
of neglecting the minor children. In
addition to this the police who made
the arrests held that both the man and
woman were badly under the influence
of liquor. On bed of PAIN and de-
void of any Of the ordinary care which
a sick child should have had little Tom
cried out against the action Of the Of
ficers, declaring that he did not desire
to be separated from his smaller bro
Their When the dirty bed clothirg was
turned down it was found that the boy
haT his shoes on and was partially
dressed regardless Of the fact that his
little frame was wracked by fever. 1t
was declared by the Health officials
that the condition of the boy was such
that had be been left without atten-
tion for another day he would have
died. The mother with the two boys
at the jail did not seem to be greatly
interested and the police declared that
the father showed less interest. On
Sunday Clement had high fever and
he was removed from the jail and ia
Ken to the hospital for treatment At
the hospital this morning the two little
bows occupied adjoining cots and look
ing out from under clean white bed
clothing and with the fever reduced
by careful nursing for a day and a
night they were taking an entirely new
view of life.

woMAN's CLUB TO HEAR SHAW.
Mrs. Perdita Dewey Pope will Give a
Dramatic Interpretation of His
.Maior Barbara -

"Major Barbara Bernard Shaw s
drama, which he himself characterizes
as being "of munitions and morality
will be read by Mrs. Perdita Dewey
Pope tomorrow afternoon at the meet
ing of the Woman s Club to be held in
the Park Avenue Methodist Church.
Although written so long ago as
1905, Major Barbara has a direct
bearing upon the problems of 1915-17,
and upon the great questions that are
before our country at this very mo-
ment. Therefore the reading will have
more than the interest which always
attaches to any performance of Mrs.
Pope. The brilliant and effective
Shavian dialogue, it is safe to say, viii
be handled artistieally by Mrs. Pope
who reads cleverly and well, having
more than usual talent for dramatic
interpretations.

ADMITS TWHENARRESTED
David Schnessler Declares He Was
Actuated by an EVIL Spirit" When
He Put Lives of Hundred People
Into Jeopardy South of Kenosha.

Two attempts to wreck limited trains
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and North
Shore Railway, just north of Zion City,
were brought to light late Saturday
afternoon by the arrest of David l..
Schnessler, seventeen year old Zion
City boy who is now held In the county
jail at Waukegan and who has made a
confession of the crime. His only ex-
cuse was that he wac actuated by an
"evil spirit.
Travelling at a rate Of nearly sixty
miles an hour the south bound limited
crashed into a rail which had been
placed across the track just after two
o'clock in the afternoon. The car
was not derailed, but the rail was
hurled ninety feet from the tracks and
the train stopped and efforts made to
discover the cause of the obstruction.
Two hours later a north-bo train
on the line was stopped within few
inches of similar obstruction on the
track. Blood hounds were secured
at Waukegar and placed on the scent
and they led the way to the home of
the Zion City youth who was after
wards arrested on charges of attempt
ing to wreck the two trains. The south
bound train was made up of two steel
cars, both heavily laden with passen-
gers. The north bound train, single
car, was also loaded almost to it's capa-
city and in the two attempts to wreck
the lives of more than hundred people
were put into jeapordy Many Kenosha
people were aboard the south bound
train After his arrest young Schness-
Ter denied his guilt, but when he was
being taken into Waukegef he admitted
that he had placed the rail on the track
and then had waited to see the wreck.
The boy had broken arm and physi-
clans consider him mentally unbalanced.
For some time there. have been OBJ
structions placed in the path of trains
in the neighborhood of Zion City and
it is thought that the boy under arrest
will be able to clear up the mystery
connected with all Of these attempts.
Schnessler was held in bonds of two
thousand dollars for an adjourned hear
ing and in the meantime the officials
of Lake county will make some investi-
cation into his mental condition.
No one was injured as a result of the
attempt to- wreck the two trains, but
the passengers on the south-bound
train were thrown from their seats
and badly shaken up.

American Fund for French Front Com
nnittee will Work at Surgical
Supplies and Sewing.

For the present the American Fund
for the, French Front committee will
have two distinct departments of work
One group of women will devote itself
to the making of surgical dressings and
other supplies, and the other will give
it's time to the manufacture of gar
ments to be worn in the hospitals. Miss
O'Donnell has been engaged for the
latter department for the summer.
Mrs. Zalmon G.. Simmons, head Of
the work committee, has been advised
from the front that the most urgent
need now existing is that for "vermin
proof" garments for the hospital
wards. These are made of cheesecloth
and are carbolated before usings When
one considers the reasons underlying
the necessity for these "vermin proof :"
garments, one other horror is added to
the others which the war brings
Again the American Fund will re-
move to the Guild Hall for its sum
mer s work. This time the large and
commodious rooms there with their
large array of work tables will be turn
ed over to the local American Fund

oREGoN's PART OF THE FLAG
(Eugene Daily Guard

lEugtne Daliy Guaru.
The Eugene Guard says that every one
knows that one of the stars in the Am.
eriean flag represents Oregon, but few
and very few at that know which one
belongs to us. Every state in the I'm
ion has its own individual and particu-
lar star and its placement on the square
of blue is definitely regulated by law
and executive order
Oregon can be easily located on the
flag-the fifth star down the left hand
side. In 1912, on the Goth day of De-
tober, the last executive order concern
ing the flag was made and it provided
for the specific arrangement of the
stars. They were to be arranged in hori-
zontal rows Of eight stars each Start
ing in the upper left hand corner and
placing each row from left to right, the
star corresponding to each state is nam
ed in the order of the states ratifiea-
tion of the constitution.
Thus star No. l, in the upper left
hand corner is for Delaware. Star No
4S, in the lower right hand corner, is
for Arizona.
The following list will show you at
glance exactly the location of each
state.

LATE HOP NOTES

Among the IA growers of hops left in
Woodburn section eight have their hops
contracted. The 1917 acreage in that
section is only 1877 acres.
More thar half of the growers have
their hops contracted. The acreage in
these three sections amounts to about
oneshalf the former acreage of the Au-
rora section alone.
1t is reported that contracts for hops
are being sought at 10 to II cents, in
spite of the fact that the fate of the
hop crop is still in the hands of con
gress which has yet to definitely deter
mine whether beer and wine will be
rlade and used during the war.
Up-to date figures show that the Ger
vais section has only 52l acres in hops
this year, divided among 20 growers.
This acreage includes 100 acres owned
by M. l.. Jones and SO acres owned by
Wolf & Son. Thirteen of the 20 Ger
vais growers have contracted their crop.
Am accurate census of hop growers
and hop acreage in the Aurora, st. Paul
end Hubbard districts disclose some re-
markable reductions in the number of
acres under cultivation this year. Au-
rora has AS growers and 749 acres: st.
Paul has "a growers and 1872 acres; and
Hubbard has five growers and liz
acres.
Prospects have been SO poor in the
hop business up TO the last few DAYS
that many yards have been neglected,
and the crop viii fall far short of
normal crop. Shrewd growers and
dealers nearly all estimate the 1917
Oregon crop at less than $4,000 bales
and some believe even 10000 bales a
high estimate.-Aurora Observer
