WHERE ARE THE SWALLOWS +?
They Have Not Appeared About Kenosha
for Years,

What has become of all the swal-
lows we used to have ABOUT here every
YEAR," asked an old resident this morn
ing. can remember the time when
as boy l used to build boxes for them
to nest in and put them on high poles
and was always delighted to hear their
clipper and to see their mad flight
about in search of the insects which in
fest the air at the edge of the evening.
Now, they are all gone. One does not
see one anywhere.
The same thing seems to hold true
of a number of the birds we used to be
familiar with a few years ago. Robins
are now getting so scarce that one can
not see them so plentifully about as we
used to- Among some of the most
beautiful things I remember of life here
were the beautiful songs they used to
sing in the tree tops just as the sun
was casting out his first bright rays Of
morning. There used to be whip
poor wills, wood and brown thrushes
without number all about, but we see
nothing of them anymore. What can
be the cause of this?
81 have been told that the English
sparrows which are getting so thick
about here are driving them away.
That may or may not be true. l know
the English sparrow is terribly pug
naclous bird and will fight anything
from its own size to that Of the eagle
1t may have driven the other birds
out, for it is a species that propagates
it's kind very rapidly and probably now
outnumbers all other species here

should start a campaign Of extermina

FIRE DOES $4,000 DAMAGE.
The orson Fox Barn Burned With all It's
Contents

A little before o'clock this morning
a fire broke out in the large barn on
the Orson Fox farm about three miles
west of the city, which is at present
rented and worked by Fred Rice. The
fire broke out in the hay loft ana spread
at once to the stables, giving no chance
for any efforts to save the building or
stock. Mr.. Rice was awakened by the
rushing of the flames at 2:30, and on
seeing the cause of the tumult and the
imminent danger of both the house and
adjacent out houses aroused the hired
man and went out half clothed to the
burning barn. His help followed soon
but the flames had gained such head
way that to attempt to save anything
was futile. Two horses and a heifer
were locked in the stables with no
hope of escape. The dry timbers and
the hay stacked way in the lofts, fed a
fire which defied approach, while
throwing its sparks and cinders within
threatening proximity of the out stand
ing buildings, which the two men
worked hard and fast to protect, while
they watched the burning structure,
loaded with hay, grain, stock and farm
machinery, undermined by the flames,
totter and fall in mass of ruins.
The only property saved from the
confagration was a cultivator and a
wagon box. The loss to Mr.. and Mrs.
Rice. consisting of forty tons of hay,
100 bushels of oats, $50 bushels of
barley, span of fine bay horses weigh
ing 2200 pounds, two carriages,
sleigh, three ploughs, one calf, and
considerable machinery, is estimated
at $4,000. There was no insurance.
The barn belonged to Orson Fox and
was insured, but for how much cannot
be accurately learned.
1t is supposed that the fire was
started by some tramp who had taken
refuge for the night in the hay loft.

entertainment will undoubtedly be a
fine one.
The stories which are now coming
from the Alaska gold fields are not as
rosy hued as those which stirred the
imagination a few days ago. Some OF
the returning miners are telling of
hardships and privations almost beyond
belief, and say that some of those who
now return to this country with gold,
are those who have run upon miners
who have died from starvation or cold,
and taken their findings. One of the
miners who recently reached
Great Falls, Montana, says that
III three years he has seen over
1000 miners buried. most of them
dying of starvation. The boat
line running up there allows no one to
take provisions up and those that it
carries are insufficient for those who are
already there. Those who go now are
bound to starve.

day passes, which does not bring 10 the
front some scheme, more or less chimericai,
put forward by persons utterly unacquaint-
ed with the existing conditions. for trans

The majority of these schemes never get
beyond formulation. and consequently, are
never heard OF after their first publication.

Of provisions. mining tools and fuel, take
her around Cape Horn this winter and get
her TO the mouth of the Yukon early In the
spring, so as to work her up the river TO
the Klondlke fields as fast as the Yukon
clears of ice. Once near the gold fields the
schooner Is to serve as a shelter, a place
to cook ana keep food, repository OF
mining tools and safe place TO keep the
gold after II has been secured. One of the
leading Boston daily newspapers seriously
comments upon this utterly chimerical
scheme as a feasible and attractive propo-
sition and adds: ut takes brave men TO
