CANADA THISTLES.

The following from the Waukegan
Gazette, the great prosecutor of noxious
weeds, is worthy the attention of the
farming community and everybody in
general who owns or controls real estate.
The time is at hand when the fight on
Canada thistles should begin. Last sea-
son the thistle commissioners met with
quite hearty response from the people
OF the country, In their efforts to destroy
the pests, many giving freely Of time
and labor to exterminate the patches
on their own land and on the highways,
but there are many fields which were
not properly attended to, and some where
the seed vas allowed to ripen and scatter
itself without restraint. Two things may
be considered settled, namely, that, If
let alone, one patch of thistles will spoil
a farm and seed large area, and that
If properly attended, even badly infected
districts can be reclaimed. Thistle seed
knows no line fences, no section or town
fhip lines, and plants itself on the bes
arm as readily as on the poorest. 1
once allowed possession of land, worth
otherwise $50 to SIS per acre, Canals
thistles reduce the market value to $2t
Or $40 per acre. 1t is supposed tina
thistle commissioners are or will be pro

NOW let there be a united effort made {,

we want to be free from thistles, anG
besides, the other counties about us ar
Looming in similar fights. 1t is therefor
the more encouraging to work agains
this evil. For the season of 1885 let u
have war on thistles that shall exten

county.

are considered in extremely bad taste.

all high sounding titles, and let it be
as simple as to any prominent citizen.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.

The cultivation of musical taste,
either vocal or instrumental, has re-
fining influence. Every town, where it
is practicable, should have band of
music, if it be but small one. Bands
of music are an important aid in CIV
ing pleasing effect to public exercises
of various kinds. Music, in all ages,
has had a soul-stirring and sOul-lifting
power. Kenosha has now as credit
able band as any town in the state
If we are rightly informed, this band
has been trained and brought to its
present condition of excellence by Mr..
Francis L. RawsoD, a resident of this

DEPRESSION OF TRADE
UNIVERSAL,

Whether SO general a depression OF
trade ever before prevailed as il now
experienced is possible, but not easily
proven. Those who suppose this con
dition of things is, peculiar alone tC

standiEgly. Singular as it may be-
the dullDess of business complained OF
here is felt in all countries. The New
York Tribune entions leading firm
which manufactures articles that
brings correspondence from all parts
of the world, and from all of these
comes the report of the depression of
trade. Everywhere the same story is
told as here, of production and
under-consumption; of oyer-stocked
markets and the necessity of cur
tailment in the manufacture of goods
and wares. Not only is there an ex-
Cess of production over the demand,
but there is in very many districts of
country an cver'supply of labor seek
ing employment. Working men are
clamorous for, something to do at re-
munerative wages. From no part of
the world, whether in old settled re-
gions or new, is there call for labor
ing men, unless it be on some enter.
prise requiring Il limited amount of
help for season. The question,
therefore, comes home, where shall the
laboring man go to find increased de-
mand for his services; where shall the
merchant and the mechanic go to find
more ready sales for their goods and
wares, and where shall the farmer go
to realize better prices for the products
of the soil? There is an overstock-
Il surfeit almost everywhere. What
then. can be done to relieve the en-
barrasSed condition of trade? The
problem is not easy of solution. Some
one suggests that to restore and bring
business once more into its accustomed
obeying the law of supply
and demand, it would necessitate the
of ut least one-half of all
our productive industries until such
lime as the present oversupply is work

FARMERS, BEWARE.

An exchange says the last swindling
device is where gentleman, represent
ing himself to be connected with some
Chicago provision house, circulates a
paper among the farmers, asking their
opinion as to the probable crop this
season, carefully noting down the
answers. AT the conclusion he asks the
farmer to sign it, "just to give the re-
port an appearance Of being correct"
and in nine cases out of ten a good
healthy note turns up in the hands an
innocent purchaser which will have to
be paid. Farmers should be prepared
to receive these gents with a double
barreled shotgun. Amy granger who
would be such "gilly' as to bite at
such a thin bait, ought to be swindled.

LAW LANGUAGE REFORM.

Associations and clubs are in these
days organized for almost every con-
ceivable purpose of reform. Individ-
ualism for the accomplishment of de-
sirable changes is no longer deemed
sufficient to reach the sought-for end .
Reformers move in combinations
One of the later clubs organized in
New York city is for language reform
not spelling, but for Kidding the Ian :
guage of law from unnecessary yer
blage and redundant words David
Dudley Field, Il man of varied and dis
tinguished learning, to whom allusion
has heretofore been made, has given
impulse to this new reform. Mr.. Field
asserts that useless verbiage in tile
drawing of legal papers and documents
pays the lawyers Of New York city
alone 100000 year. The useless
verbiage in law language, which is
now vigorously assaulted, will require
time to be eliminated, but the reform
is sure to give place to reason and
common sense, in like manner as fic-
tious court pleadings were thrown out
half century ago, after Il protracted
struggle with the legal profession.

There was unusual excitement on
the street near the corner of Main
and Market square on the afternoon of
Sunday last. A stranger looker-on
might have inferred from the move
ments of the crowd of people that
some extraordinary event had occurred,
or at least that one was imminent.
The occasion which had brought so
many people together was the fact of
the arrest of five base ball players, who
were engaged in playing matched
game between the Milwaukee Reds"
and the Kenosha Regulars" The ar
rests were made by Sheriff Wilson, on
the complaints of Rev. w. l.. Bray, and
Rev. Richard Miller, for violation Of
the Sunday law. The arrested players
were taken before Justice Paddock
where, after some conversation between
them and the cOmplainants, the suit
was withdrawn.

One may feel that he's getting old, but
he naturally dislikes that anything about
his appearance should advise others of
the fact. Yet nothing does this so eff

who shows this fatal sign. Parker's

BASE BALL AND SCHOLARSHIP

two in the second grade, and twenty
two fell below their classes.

On the first day of the present month
of July the new postage regulations
went into effect, The rate of postage
on letters is not changed, but hereto
fore the weight of letter not over
one-half ounce was carried for two
cents, now a letter weighing one
ounce is carried for two cents.
The old settlers will remember that
less than forty years ago twenty
five cents was the postage on letter
for over 800 miles; 1215 cents and Ga
cents for shorter distances. This re-
moval of the tax on intelligence has
been wonderful revolution.

SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY.

The movement for making Saturday
afternoon each week u half holiday
noticed in this paper last week, is
gaining favor in New York city, where
the movement quite recently began.
In due time the plan, it is believed,
will have the legal sanction of the leg
islature. The reasonableness of such
measure must commend itself to
every intelligent friend of the labor :
ing classes. 1t will bring the working
men into nearer relations with their
employers. 1t will elevate the hard
toiling man to a higher plane, and bene-
fit him morally, mentally and physi-
cally. The old Implying idea that
six days hard work is "destiny un.
shunable'' for the laboring man will in
the coming future find relief. A world
capable of producing all the supplies
for human suStentatiOn and comfort
has not necessitated incessant grinding
