Sheriff Timme Asks the Govern
ment to Devise Means to De-
stroy Shade Tree Pest.
MANY TREES ALREADY DEAD
Ravages of the Insects Being Extended
to All Parts of the County and
Relief Must be Obtained.

Sheriff Henry H. Timme this after
noon forwarded to the chronological
department of the United States gov
eminent queer package. The pack
age contained more than a thousand
insects. The insects were a sample
of the insects which are playing havoc
with the trees in Kenosha county and
the sheriff has asked the men in this
department at Washington to make a
complete investigation of the insects
and devise some means for the killing
of them.
The ravages of these insects in this
section of the state areIconstant1y ex-
tending and there are only few trees
in the city where the insects have not
appeared. Many of the trees have al
ready been killed and it is feared that
unless something is done and done
, quickly Kenosha S fame as .'The Park
City, will be eradicated by the raw
ages of the worm.
1t is claimed that the insects found
on the trees in this city are different
from those found on the trees in other
localities and it is certainly a fact
that the remedies which have proved
successful in other places have failed
to dislodge the insects from trees
here. The insect first made it's APP
pearance four years ago. They came
IN a great swarm and seemed to be
| brought in by wind off the lake. On
the day Of their arrival the streets of
the city were black with. them and it
seems that all of them a1ighted on
the trees and they have been breeding
ever since. Many of the most beauti-
/ full trees in the Nty have been b1igh-
| ted by the insects and every remedy
has proved futile. Some time ago the
matter was taken before the state
board of education and that board
recommended spraying the trees with
| kerosene. Sheriff Timne has been in
correspondence with the leading men
in the agricultural department of the
| National Government and these men
have promised to take personal in
terest in the matter and make an eff
fort to discover some way to get rid
of the insects. On the bough sent to
Washington by sheriff Timme it is es-
timated that there were more than
| five thousand of the insects
1t will be some time before the Ma
tional workers can complete their
work Of investigation and it is hardly
probably that any remedy will be dis
covered in time to put it into use by
the coming spring.

Joseph Higgins, Who Disappeared
from kenosha Eight Years Ago,
Found in New York.
MARRIAGE REVEALS HIS HOME
Kenosha Man, Who Left Home, is Mar
ried to Young Woman Said to be the
Heir to Ninety Thousand Dollars.

Joseph Higgins, who left Kenosha
eight years ago and for whom a search,
has been made since that time has
been located in Mt. Vernon, n. Y,
and the location of the missing man
was brought about by the fact that
he was married on the Goth of last
month. The announcement of the
marriage gave his friends in Kenosha
the clue to his whereabouts.
Joe Higgins was son of Charles
Higgins of the town Of Pleasant Prai-
RE and ten years ago he was known
to almost every one in the county. He
resided in Kenosha at that time and
was the proprietor of shooting gal
lery on Main street near the present
site Of ''The Fair Higgins had some
sort OF quarrel with his father and
the result of it was that he left his
home and for eight years his father
and other friends had not been able to
11nd any trace of him. For years the
search for the young man was con-
tinued in different parts of the coun-
try, but it seemed that Higgins had
been successful in concea1ing his hid
ing place and no trace of him could
be found. Advertisements were in
serted in papers in all parts of the
country, but they failed to bring any
results.
A few days ago Mr.. Higgins receiv-
ed a letter in a feminine hand and
when it was opened it proved to be
from Mrs. Joseph Higgins. In the
letter Mrs. Higgins stated that she
and Mr.. Higgins had been married on
the 10th of last mouth and they were
now at home to their friends at Mt.
Vernon, n. Y, where the husband is
one of the prosperous business men of
the city. It is stated in a clipping
from one of the New York papers that
Mr.. Higgins has one of the largest
sporting goods stores in that section
of the state and it is claimed that his
bride is the heiress to fortune of
more than ninety thousand dollars.
Mr.. Higgins left no stone unturned in
communicating with his son who had
been missing for so many years and
the son and daughter have been asked
to return to the old homestead to spend
their honeymoon.

OLD SETTLERS PICNIC.
Annual Gathering of Old Settlers Will
be Held on Thursday, August 25th.

annual GdThef1ng OF Ola settlers Will
be Held on Thursday, August 25th.
The Old Settlers picnic will be
held as usual on the grounds of
the club at Paddocks Lake, on

settlers one of the most memorable in
the history Of the club, Rev. 7. W.
Corey of Ravenswood, formerly pastor
of the First Baptist church Of this
city, will deliver the annual address.
Mr.. Corey needs no introduction to
kenosha people. He is still remen-
bered. as one of the most eloquent and
forcefu1 speakers that ever occupied
a pulpit in this city and his address
is sure to be worthy Of the man and
the occasion. During his passionate
here he made hundreds of friends not
only IN his own church but among all
classes who will be pleased to hear
him again, and the club could have
made no more popular selection for
speaker.
The regular program will commence
at one O'Clock and a base bali game
between the Orioles of Kenosha and
the Salem team will be played later in
the afternoon. Dinner will be served
on the grounds from eleven until one
O'Clock, and special train which will
leave Kenosha at 8:48 and, returning
leave Salem at 6:10, has been provided
for the accommodation of the Ke-
nosha crowd.
The Old Settlers club extends a
most cordial invitation to one and all
to unite with them in honoring the
men and women of the pioneer days
and the gathering this year promises
to be greater than ever.

which recently visited Kenosha, re-
turned to Washington Thursday af-
ternoon and has started to make out
the report to Congress. AS far as
can be learned the Lake Bluff site
was the only one to which the Com

Commissioners were well pleased
with the Kenosha offering, but it is
hardly probable that the city can fur

Captain James Heating, who formerly
operated the Elk. Since the Elk was
sold Captain Keating has operated a
chartered launch, but will have rev

be 81 feet in length and will be driven
by a S4-horsepower gasoline engine
She will be especially equipped for
carrying passengers. Captain Heating
would like to build a larger boat. but
gasoline engines make this impossible

must have licensed captains and an

the new launch will be speedy. 1t Is

Harriman's New Oriental Ships
Win Add Greatly TO Prestige
Of Columbia River.
EIGHT STEAMSHIPS IN ALL
Indications Are That Union Pa
cific Is to Extensively Use
the River Other Ma
rine News.

That President Hartman, of the
Union Pacific. intends utilizing the
Columbia river in an extensive man
ner is evident from the announcement
that eight vessels are to be engaged
regularly in the oriental trade. with
Portland as the home port. 1t has been
repeatedly asserted of late that Harri-
man would make Astoria his north
western headquarters as soon as the
bar is improved so as to permit Of the
entrance of his liners at all times, and
the start which the head of the Union
is making tends to confirm that be-
lief
Four new vessels have just been
chartered by the Hartman interests,
according to advices received yester-
day from San Francisco. They belong
to the Hamburg American line, and,
while of moderate carrying capacity,
win be valuable addition to theI
present fleet. The Hamburg American
steamships engaged for the oriental
traffic are the Aragonia, Numantia,
Arabia and Nicomedia- They are to be
operated in conjunction with thei
steamships Atholl, Clavering, Ching
wo and Lothian, of the China Com
mercial line. With this fleet a vessel
win depart every 10 days, which indi-
Gates that Mr.. Hartman expects to
ship large quantities of freight out
of the Columbia. The announcement
is the most important that has been
made in years and more than any
thing else demonstrates the eventual
supremacy of the Columbia river.
When the bar is fully improved and
a 4O-foot depth is provided all OF the
oriental liners will be enabled to make
port at any time. Delays will cease,
and, being nearest the orient the Co (
lumbia will get the bulk of the ship
ping. With the limited depth OF the
river above Astoria, it will be found
necessary ere long to use the ocean
port, and it is believed Mr.. Hartman
has this idea in view at the present
time. At all events. the Columbia will
have frst-class oriental service, and

win be increased as business demands
