AN Iowa man always seems to be
the right man for the place. In
speaking of the reappointment of
George E. Roberts as director of the
mint the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Record-Herald says:
president Mckinley selected Mr.. Rob-
erts for the responsible position, and
he is closing his first term of four
years. Soon after Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came president Mr.. Roberts purchased
The Des Moines Register and Leader,
and it was his purpose to retire from
public life to assume active manage
ment of the paper. President Roose-
welt, appreciating his efficient admin
istration of the affairs or the mint bu-
reau, prevailed upon him to remain
temporarily, and has now secured his
consent to serve another term on con-
dition that Mr. Roberts does not find
that his newspaper property in Des
Moines requires his personal direc-
ton"

1889 the paper has made its appearance
weekly ard is now a welcome visitor
ia the homes of the grandsons Of the
men who were its original subscribers.
It's files contain complete chronology
zeal record of every important event in
the history of Kenosha and Kenosha
county and in the lives of the men and
women who ''lived and labored' here
and who helped to make old Southport
and Kenosha known and honored IN
the state and nation. The TELEGRAPH
COURIER has subscribers in every
state in the union and in every civil

weekly to carry the news of home and
friends and kindred to the wandering
ones of Kenosha all over the world.
The paper may not always have been
on the right side of every public ques-
ton that has come up during the last
sixty-four years, but it has always
tried to be right and whatever influence
it may have exerted has always been
on the side of good government and
good morals and it's editors and pub

THERE seems to be general dispo-
sition to help out the hospital associa-
tion in every possible way. The
Trades and Labor Council was the first
organization to help out the hospital
fund by donating part of the receipts
of their fair and now hardly any of the
societies in the city think of giving
any entertainment without setting
aside certain percentage of the re-
ceipts for the fund. The interest
everywhere manifested is very encour-
aging to the directors and with the
continued support of the people it will
be comparatively easy matter to es.
tablish some kind of q hospital in Ke-
nosha before the summer is out. And
once let the hospital get fairly started
and in a position to take care of the
cases that would go out of town for
treatment it will only be little while
before the institution is self support
ing and there will be no necessity of
calling on the people for financial as
Sistance.

the New Kinodrome show, Offering to
its many pleased patrons Of the past
an entire and complete new ex-
hibition, including al! the big and
unusual things of the Loving picture

commanded by wealth and developed
from original thought distinguish it

present day efforts pale beside it,
while the future offers no promises of
equalizing it's glorious immensely.
The new Kinodrome show has been
organized with a skill that is sublime,
splendid, elaborate, enhancing, panto-
mimic and dramatic in method, and
the enormous patronage this attrac-
ton has received in this city during
the past two seasons substantiates the
fact that there is as much, or more.
actual enjoyment to be had from an
evening at the Kinodrome show as
anything in the way of amusement
now before the public.

Unusual Wind Storm Passed Over the
Western Part of the County
Monday Afternoon.
BIG SHEDS FALL BEFORE BLAST
Large Car Sheds of the LawIer Ice Com.
pany Torn Down by Fury of the Wind
Heavy Rains In the County.

An unusual wind and rain storm
passed over the western part of Keno
sha county Monday afternoon, it's
principal course being through the
town of Randall and the path of the
wind was left strewn with the wreck
age. The most serious damage was at
Twin Lakes where the big car sheds of
the LAWYER Ice company collapsed un-
der the fierce blasts and fell 10 the
ground.
The storm was strange freak of the
wind as it seems that the territory
covered by the storm was only few
yards in width centering at Twin
Lakes station and extending from it
only few rods. The storm took the
form of whir1wind and everything in
the course was swept. Trees were
rooted up and fences torn from their
places like so many straws. The peo-
pie of the village saw the storm and
fed to their homes. Along the rail-
way the storm seemed to gather its
fury at the big sheds and the people
saw them lifted from the ground and
piled in heap of wreckage. Fortu-
nate1y no one was in the sheds at the
time of the accident, as they would
have certainly met instant death.
The sheds are complete wreck and
they will have to be rebuilt from the
ground up. The sheds were built a
few months ago by the Lawler Ice
company to use to shade the cars while
being loaded. They were more than
five hundred feet in length and fur
nished protection for dozen loaded
cars. The loss from the destruction of
the sheds will be about thousand dol
lars There is no insurance to cover
the loss.
While the wind was playing havoc
at Twin Lakes other parts of the coun-
ty were visited by the heaviest rain
storm of the season. At the village of
Trevor, in the town of Salem, the
storm amounted to almost a deluge
while few miles from the city little
rain fell All over the county the rain
fell in spots and in some places slight
damage was done by the great down.
pour. In Kenosha the rain amounted
to only light shower, while north of
the city there was no rain at all.
It is probable that the work of re-
building the sheds at Twin Lakes will
be started at once as they are badly
needed during the summer ice ship
ping season.
