i The climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau for the week
ending July l is as follows: A
week of frequent local showers
with rainfall in all parts of the
State, but unevenly distributed as
to amount. mall parts the soil has
all the moisture it can receive with
out injury to the crops, except IN
scattered places in the south: in the
low lands Of the Red River valley
many grain fields were flooded. On
the 18th, heavy rains were accom-
panied by destructively high winds
from Chippewa county eastward
Into Wisconsin, and large areas of
crops in Renville and Stearns coun-
ties were devastated by hail, The
day temperatures were above 80 de
grees in the southern part of the
State every day, except on the 10Th,
and nearly 100 degrees on the 9th,
18th and Goth. This great and con
tinued heat was very severe on man
and beast, and many prostrations
are reported. The abundant rain
fall and high temperatures have
caused a rapid growth of all vege-
tation, and all crops, except flax,
are very promising on the whole.
Barley, which is very rank, and
oats have lodged in small areas.
! Wheat seems to have strong plant,
and no injury is reported, except in
some very wet parts of Polk and
Norman counties. Rye is ripening
rapidly, and it's harvest begins in
the south on July lst. Winter wheat
will soon be ripe. Corn is improv-
ing, but some of it is Still small, and
some fields are grassy. Flax is I'M
even; much of it was affected by the
! frost Of June 18th, and now grass
hoppers are injuring it in northern
counties; the early sown is in bloonD
in the south. Potatoes are gener-
ally very good. Grass has been cut
for hay during the week, and some
Of it has been spoiled by the rams.
If young ladies think sores, pimples,
and red noses look we'll with bridal
4 veil and orange blossoms, it's all right
Yet Rocky Mountain Tea would drive
them away. 35c. H. NJ. Hitchcock &

Regular Monthly Meeting OF Library
Directors Held at the Assembly
Room tuesday Evening.
MANY NEW BOOKS ARE ORDERED.
Directors Will Make an Effort to Complete
the File of Magazines Now in the Ii
brary-May Rebate City Taxes.

The board of directors of the Gilbert
M. Simmons Library held its regular
monthly meeting at the Office in the
library building Tuesday evening. A
large amount Of routine business, IN
Guiding the purchase of bill of new
books, was transacted, after which the
directors spent some time IN consider
ing a plan by which the files of maya
zines,in the library may be completed.
It is the intention of the members OF
the board of directors to see to 1t that
the files of the magazines arecompleted
at once, and differently propositions
were received last evening for the pur-
chase of the magazines needed. Inf
ty-seven files will be completed, and 1t
is thought that the expense of securing
this splendid library of contemporary
history and literature will be IN the
neighborhood of $3.50. There is not
library in Wisconsin that has the full
files of the magazines, and this step by
the directors of the Kenosha library is
certainly a good one. The plan is to
complete the files of all magazines OF
any value from Cf1S1T uLSl ISSUE ~ eAAS
present day.
In connection with the meeting of
the Board Tuesday evening, it is re-
ported that in the near future the Ii
brary directors will rebate to the city
portion of the sum raised for the sup
port of the library. The sum was
slightly in excess of one mill tax and
it is said that Mr.. Simmons is very
anxious to have the amount refunded
to the City Treasurer. The city and
the people who have paid the taxes
would be opposed to any such a rebate
and the directors will probably be ad-
vised to use the money in buying new
books or providing for the better ac-
commodation of the Librarians by add
ing new equipment.
The people of Kenosha are proud OF
the library and the small allowance
made for it's maintenance is certainly
the free gift of the people.

CLAIMS FATHER is UNSUITABLE.
Petition asking for Guardianship of Child
Filed and Will Have Hearing on the
First Tuesday IN April.

The contest for the possession of
the infant daughter of George E.
Ho1derness and Mrs. Jane Swift Hold
ness (now deceased), has been started
in the county court, in this city, by
Mrs. Justine Swift, the maternal
grandmother of the child, filing a pc
tition asking that she be appointed a.
Guardian for the minor child of her
aughter. In her petition to the coun-
court Mrs. Swift states that Henri
tia Jane Swift Holderness was the
ole child of Mrs. Jane Swift Holder
ess, deceased, who was daughter of
ne petitioner and who died in Milwau-
ee on Dec. 9th, of last year. She al
eges further that the property of the
linor child does not exceed one hum
red dollars. That the father of the
Mild, George E. Holderness, is now a
esident of Chicago and unmarried.
he petition further states that in the
pinion of the petitioner the said
feorge E. Ho1derness is not suitable
r proper person to be entitled to the
ustody of the child or to be entitled to
are for her education.
The petition states that since the
cath of the chi1d's mother in Mi1wau-
ee the child has found a home at the
ONE of it's grandmother and that DUR
ng that time the father has not in any
manner contributed to it's support or
maintenance.
In conclusion Mrs. Swift petitions
he court that she may be granted the
guardianship of Henrietta Jane Swift
Io1derness and of her estate.
The petition was filed on Monday
afternoon and hearing in the matter
will be held in the county court on the
first Tuesday in April.
The petitioner is represented by
James Cavanagh, and as yet the father
of the child has not made any effort 20
fight the case.
Mr.. Ho1derness is said to be en-
p1oyed in a drug store in Chicago and
according to the decree of Judge Slos-
son he will be served with a copy of
the petition for the appointment of a
guardian of his child before any action
is taken.
The fling of this petition will recall
to the minds of many people in the
city the sensational effort made by Mr.
on December 10Th, when he
went to the home of Mrs. Swift and at
tempted to take the child by force.
The final decision in the case by the
courts will be of great interest to the
people of the city.
