VANDALISM RAMPANT.
Unknown Parties Throw Stone Through
a Plate Glass Window

Unknown Parties Throw Stone Through
Plate Glass Window.
For bad boys and lots of them Keno
sha seems to be banner city, and the
vandalism of this class was shown
again Monday night when some un-
known party threw a large stone
through the plate glass window in the
store of Fred Joerndt, on north Main
street. The window broke with a
crash and the stock that was on dis
play in the window was damaged
slightly by the falling glass. TIE
culprit who threw the stone managed
to escape.
The matter has been reported to the
police and an effort is being made to
locate the guilty party. The window
was fully insured so that the loss to
Mr.. Joerndt will be small one.

STRIKE is SETTLED.

Ice Handlers at Twin Lakes and Powers
Lake Return to Work This Morning.
Chicago will not have an ice famine
as result of the strike among the ice
handlers at Twin Lakes and Powers
Lake, in this county, as the entire
force of workmen returned to work in
the different houses this morning. The
strike was settled yesterday at con-
ference between the leaders of the
strikers and the managers of the diff
ferent houses. No statements as to the
terms of the settlement have been
given out, but both the strikers and
the managers for the companies have
made concessions and It's not thought
that there will be any further trouble
between the two factions. The men
will be taken back regardless of their
mem Dership in the union.
The yards at both of the stations are
filled lp with cars and this afternoon
full train of ice cars will be sent to
Chicago to relieve the shortage in the
ice market.
Both the men ard the managers
seem to be entirely satisfied with the
manner in which the strike was set
tied, but neither Of them would state
as to the agreement finally reac. =.
Foreman Lebe, of the Knicker-
booker company, was in Kenosha yes
terday evening and announced the
settlement Of the strike. 1t is proba-
BILE that the non-union men who have
been employed in the different houses
will be sent back to Chicago.

Low PRICE OF FARMS.
r. F. Roberts Tells why Farms in Keno
sha County Are So Low in Price.

r. F. Roberts Tells why Farms in Keno
! sha County Are So Low in Price,
The low price of farms in Kenosb,
county has been remarked for years
and with it the question is as often
asked: Why is it so? Why should Ke-
nosha county farms be sold at nr;ces
SO much lower than in other counties.
around us? The question seems to he
more or less a conundrum vet TO be
solved. A recent happening may af-
Tord some clue to solution. A man
Ia another part of the State sold his
farm for S125 per acre. It was recon-
mended to him to go to Kenosha
county to buy another farm, as lands
there were lower than in any other
part OF the State so long settled, and
tney were sure to advance in price to
an equality with farms in near nv
counties. The man came and looked
at well located farm, school house in
close sight; railway station and ex-
press Office one mile; church less than
TWO miles; county seat nine miles. He
also looked at another farm Just across
the road. Both farms are decedent es-
tates, the heirs in far away lands wait
ing sale and distribution. He declared
ne would not give forty dollars an
acre for either farm, in fact. would
not buy such farms so covered with
various noxious weeds, Canada this
Ties, quack grass and wild mustard.
When he had looked over these two
farms anxiously awaiting buyers he
nau seen all he wanted to see Of Keno
sha county, and took hasty leave.
altnough ne had been handsomely en-
terta1ned by friends of the heirs to
these properties. Taking it for grant
ed there are good farms in Kenosha
county free from noxious weeds. we
can readily apprehend the tendency of
such weed cursed farms to lessen the
selling value of every acre of farm
lands in Kenosha county.
Now we have an excellent poxions
weeds law In our statutes. but # Is held
in disregard. The law IS violated
every day and the public sense of
right is demoralized by the dailv in.
traction OF the statute. How can a
proper consciousness of the ma iesty of
the law be impressed when it is hourly
dehed? When the town board has an
pointed thistle commissioner II has
complied with the law. For the rest II
devo1ves on the commissioners. r.
would seem as though maximum fine
OF WIS would reinforce the backbone
OF the commissioner and impel him to
enforce the law.
1t the grain and seed dealers of Mil
waukee and Chicago knew that our
noxious weeds law was thoroughly en-
forced in all parts of the State it would
enhance the price .of every bushel of
grain and seed grown for market in
the State. Too many of our farmers
are badly demora1ized by their famil-
larity with noxious weeds. They have
tarmed 1t so many years on shares
with thistles and quack grass that they
have no aspirations for better way.
The weeds for their share take from a
fourth to three-fourths of the crop, and
still they dumb1y submit. If. the AS
SCISSOR we're to tax them as the weeds
do, there would be quickly organized a
bloody revolution.
