The Massachusetts, Legislature al
its last session passed an act setting
apart the seven days beginning with
the last Sunday in July as old home
week, when the old Bay State will well
come home those wandering sons and
daughters who have strayed away from
its fold. In these restless days the old
home idea is happy one and many a
tired "hust1er'' who is fighting his
battle of life amid the stress and strain
of the more active West will soon be
hurrying "back east to spend quiet
week with the old folks at home.

Young Girl Makes Daring Break for Free
dom at Waukegan.
An eighteen year-old girl named
Cooke, who six weeks ago was paro1ed
from Milwaukee reform school, and
was re-arrested at DeKalb, ILL.,, es-
capped from the Milwaukee policeman
who had her in charge, by leaping
from a train window at Waukegan.
The train had started when the girl
jumped, and before the authorities
at Waukegan could be notified she dis
appeared and is still at liberty. She is
thought to be in Kenosha.
The girl had gone to visit in South
ern Illinois, and while there the Mil
waukee authorities heard Of INSIDE
meanors she was committing, and
word was sent to arrest her. She
evaded the police in several cities, but
was arrested at DeKalb.
A Milwaukee policeman was sent
after her, and was returning to Mil
waukee on the train which leaves Chi
cago at 1880 o'clock. Just as the train
was to pull out of the station she re-
quested release to get drink of water.
When the train was we'll under way
the guard went to look for her, and
found she has disappeared.
Later it was learned that the pris-
oner had been seen to leap from win
dow and run toward the lake. Little
was thought of the matter until the
Milwaukee police wired back to the
Waukegan authorities to search for
her. A detail of men was sent out
over the city, but no trace of the girl
was secured. A search is now being
made for the girl in this city, Chief
OConnor, of Waukegan, coming tt
Kenosha to conduct the search.

Silver Plating Plant at Maneie, Ind,
W0utd Consider Ksnosha
as a Location.
ASKS FOR A SITE AND BONUS
Factory. Whtcfb is a Successful One. Car NJ
Longer Remain I'm the Gas Rsgion
About Mhneie.-Strong Industry

Mayor Charles H. Pfennig has re
ceived letter from the manager OF a
large silver plating concern now To-
Gated at Munc:s, Indiana, asking him
to take some steps to secure a location
for the plant in, Kenosha.
The plant is~one of the largest, if
not the largest, of it's kind in the
country and the managers care forced
to remove it from Muncie on account
| of the fact thai the natural gas has
failed in this section of the country
and for this reason MunCie is no lorger
desirabl place for the plant. What
little gas remaias, while not sufficient
to operate the factory, is so furnishing
the goods made by the company that a
change is regarded as absolutely nee
essary.
The company in question is incor-
porated with capital stock of 500, 900.
The factory now occupied is a build
ing 325 feet square and two stories IN
height. The heaviest investors are
three Muncie men, A. Sieg1er and A.
L. Johnson, and ]. G.. Johnson, men
all well knownin the 6nancial world
OF indiana and successful business
men.
The plant is~now doing a business
of $250,COO annually. The factory is
employing 150'men, fifty or sixty of
them being skilled mechanics receiu-
ing from SIS to 500 a week. The re-
naainder of the employees are young
men and boyssand few girls. During
the year just past the pay roll of the
factory amounted to $4,000 weekly.
This plant would locate in this CITY
if the city would furnish a suitable
Bsite for it, pay a portion of the expense
of building and furnish a bonus to+be
to be used ia defrayang moving ex-
penses.
The manager Of the plant, however,
is not asking for this sort Of PROPOSE
ton, but plans to locate the factory ia
some towns where the business usen
will consent to take a portion of the
stock in the plant and with this stock
the company will build its own fac
tories and pay its own movings ex.
penses.
The factory is shown to be a pretty
good thing and Mayor Pfennig will re-
fer the matter to several Of the leading
business men of the city. It's prob
able thntthe managers will come to
Kenosha to look fnto the advantages
of this, city and every courtesy should
be shown them. What Kenoshaa needs
is more manufacturing plants. There
are many available sites about the
city and if several good factories could
be located here it would do more than
any other thing to boom the city.

Saturday received letter from George

closing a water stained note On small

The police of Racine believe it to be
nothing but hoax, as no such name

occupied by Levistein's liquor store.

results from their efforts in the cause
agitating against the scheme of the
beer trust to close up the smaller brew
ing concerns by getting bill through
Congress which arbitrarily prohibits
the sale of beer in eighth Of barrel

between the larger sized package and
no beer, there is little doubt as to the
decision he will make.

HARD BLOW IN KENosHA.
Wind Storm Visits the County aud Does
Considerable Damage.

Considerable Damage,
Between the hours of seven and
eight O'Clock Monday evening bad
wind storm visited the city and county
and if all reports received are based on
fact, considerable damage was done
by the wind and the accompanying
deluge of rain. Signs and trees were
blown down and in several cases
slight damage was done. Farmers
from the western part of the county
state that the oats are badly tangled
as result of the heavy wind and that
the damage to the crop will be quite a
little.
Kenosha county seemed to be near
the center Of the storm belt and the
storm while of short duration was one
of the hardest on record for the year.
A bad storm prevailed on the lake but
thus far no accidents either here or at
other points have been reported.
