ENTERPRISE WOMAN MEETS. A
STRANGE DEATH.
Damp Floor, Extension Wire, and Fall
Spell Death.
Enterprise, July 25. Yesterday af
ternoon the remains of Mrs. Louise
.Bauer, Hollenbaek, .who was ' electro
cuted at the home of her father, Jake
Bauer, was held in this city. V A large
gathering of friends paid the solemn
and last respects to a very popular
citizen of Enterprise. She is survived
by her husband and three children, the
oldest of which is about five years of
age.
Mrs.1 Hollenbaek, who was a young
woman, was killed while after some
fruit in the cellar. The basement floor
es. damp because water had b n-ed
up from the cesspool, and in order
to reach the desired section of the
basement, she had guided herself with
an extension cord from an electric
light. , It is believed that the insu
lation had been defective and that Mrs.
Hollenbaek stumbled about the same
time that she seized the wire, and
struck her head severely in the fall
for when found, her head was bruised,
The wet floor, the fall and the defect
ive insulation probably made up a
combination that caused death for
the current of electricity was not suf
ficient to cause death , without the
dampness of the floor.
It was, during the morning that Mrs.
Hollenbaek had gone to the basement
and search for her was instituted when
she failed to return. It is believed she
must have been dead a period of two(
hours before being found. Her. hand
was burned severely for after death
the wire had been forming connections
that carried the electricity through the
body.

New York, July 25. Ambassador

rived on the liner Mexico today, and

Washington, July 25. Bryan re
turned to his dutie3 today to find the
general situation, in Mexico much im
proved. After a conference tomorrow
between' Ambassador Wilson, the pres-i
ident and Secretary Bryan, it is the
intention to send John Lamb of Ter

,' More Revenue ,for Farmers.
Washington, July 25. Removal of
the restriction's which' prevent the
farmer from utilizing his waste fruits
and vegetables to ' manuf rcture de
natured alcohol oiri' his property may
soonbe accomplished.' Several con
gressmen' today informally discussed
plans for changing governmental
rules which now prohibit the manu
facture of this fuel. The secretary of
the treasury has been approached on
the subject and it is his opinion hat
no new law is required to permit the
farmers to operate a distillery for the
production of alcohol to be used as a
fuel. He said today that merely ab
rogation of a present rule is all that
is needed.
"All of the many wormy potatoes,
apples and other farm products that
are unfit for sale can be turned into
alcohol, which is more economical for
fuel than gasoline," said Senator Lane
of Oregon, to day. Senator Lane is
heading the ' movement to have the
rule abrogated. "In Germany," he
continued, "they raise potatoes for
the special purpose of distilling them.
To be permitted to do this would mean
not only much cheaper fuel for the
.American farmer, but also a new
source of revenue, for he could read
ily find, a market for the alcohol he
did not use."
Women as Reservists.
Paris, July 25. It is not improba
ble that, in time of war, the women of
France will furnish to the army seven
regiments of fighting men by taking
up the clerical duties that number of
officers and enlisted men are now
performing. Speaking of the plan, in
a letter to the minister of war, Mme,
Dieulfey, wrote the following:
"In the army alone, 2672 officers
have their hands tied by duties which
keep them off the firing line, and
oGOO non-commissioned men are sim
ilarly employed. Why not instruct wo
men along the necessary line's ano
when war is declared, let them take up
the pens dropped by the troopers who
can thereby grab their guns and sab
ers? If France is to get ahead of the
of the Austrians and the Germans this
is the plan to adopt. And when it is
adopted I want to be t.h first woman
called for the great honor of serving
my country. I should deem it a price
less honor to bring to France my
small aid. It matters not in what ca
pacity I am asked to serve; it matters
not how humble the task."
