INSPECT THE STATION
Lieutenant BaIlinger Pays An.
nuaI Visit to Kenosha Life
IS Saving Station
TWENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY

Lieutenant j. G. Ba11inger of the
United States army, who is in charge
of the 18th district of the life saving
service, paid his annual visit to Keno
sha on Tuesday afternoon and made
an inspection of the local station and
crew. In honor of the visit of the
inspector the crew was on dress
parade during the afternoon and took
out the BOATS and gave drill. The
work Of the Kenosha crew was high
ly praised by the government officer.
During the afternoon Lieutenant
Bal1inger inspected the station and
made minute report on the needs of
Kenosha. He stated that the govern
ment was still considering plan for
the erection of a new station in this
port but that it was improbable that
any definite action in the matter
would be taken this year. It is pos
sible that the government engineers
will be able to get to Kenosha next
year but the work of the KenQsha crew
during the past few years has not
been sufficient to demand any large
expenditure at this port.
Only few calls are received at the
local station, but these calls are often
important ones.
Today was the twenty sixth ami
versary of the opening of the Keno
sha station, and likewise the twenty
sixth anniversary for Captain Cam
eron in charge of the crew.
In honor of the anniversary the
members of the crew held open house
today and received their friends.
Captain Cameron has grown old in
the service in Kenosha, bnt he is still
one of the most active captains on the
lake, and is good for many years yet.
Captain Cameron's record is well
known; to Kenosha people, and the
people of the city feel a pride in his
distinguished service at the station.
John Mahaney shares with Captain
Cameron the honor of long service,
as he has been at the station since
the flag was hoisted for the first time.

WANT GOOD PRICES
Local Cabbage Growers Make
Demands Of the Purchasers
and Price Begins Soaring
NEW YORK CROP A FAILURE

e
Growers of cabbage are beginning
to reap a harvest, and agents of COM
mission houses are busy in an effort
to purchase car loads and have them
shipped. Many cars are being loaded
and shipped each day, the growers re-
ceiving from $12 to SIS ton on board
cars at Racine. Railroad sidings be-
tween Racine Junction and Berryvil1e
and from Racine Junction to Union
Grove are filled with cars which are
being loaded with cabbage, and yet
shippers claim that there is a scarcity
of cars.
Yesterday growers of cabbage had
men and teams at work loading cars
which had been ordered shipped Sat
urday, but it was impossible to obtain
refrigerator cars.
Growers are demanding SIP a ton
for cabbage which is not fit to be
placed in storage, and the agents are
paying these prices. Some of the
growers are receiving from SIS to $17
ton, and it is expected that the
prices from now on will advance rap
idly. The storage houses are all we'll
filled, the largest growers shipping
only such stock as cannot be stored
unless offered good prices for the cab
bage in storage.
Ii is claimed that with cabbage sell
ing at SIS a ton the growers make a
good amount on the investment, but
when the prices soar to SIS a ton and
upwards the growers reap harvest.
It appears that the cabbage crop in
New York was a failure this year,
while in this section it was not, and
the result is that all commission
houses look to this section to have or
ders filled. Every large grower is in
receipt of kilograms daily asking for
shipments to commission houses, and
a half dozen agents of commission
houses are in Racine and endeavor-
ing to purchase car loads, but they
are unable to buy in as large quanti-
ties as they desire.

Burglars Break Into the Home Of
Andrew RiIdebrande on the
UihIein Farm Sunday
MAY HAVE BEEN DRuGGEO
Deputy Hildebrande Failed to Wake up
Until After O'Clock Sunday Morn
ing and Found That His Money
and Jewelry Had Been Taken

There was daring burglary COM
mitted at the Uihlein farm in the
town of Pleasant Prairie Sunday
morning, when unknown men entered
the home of Deputy Sheriff Andrew
Hildebrande and managed to get
away with jewelry and money to the
value of over hundred dollars. 1t is
thought that the members of the
family had been drugged before the
robbery was committed.
The money and the jewe1ry stolen
was in little room adjoining the
room III which the deputy sheriff was
sleeping and it seems that it would
have been almost impossible for the
robber to enter the room without
awaking Hildebrande. The deputy
is very light sleeper and for years
he has made it practice to rise with
the sun in the morning, but on Sun
day he did not wake up until after 8
O'Clock and when he got up he felt
decidedly drowsy. The same feeling
of drowsiness was felt by other mem
bers of the household. No noises
were heard during the night and it is
thought that the thief quietly slipped
into the room and administered
chloroform to Hildebrande and then
proceeded to work his game without
fear of detection.
An open cellar window showed the
way that the man had entered the
house. From the cellar he had
gone to the rooms on the first floor of
the house which had not been modest
ed. Hildebrande's room was on the
second floor. The man evidently was
in search of money, and as Hide
brande usually has quite a sum on
his person, the small sum secured by
the burglar must have been a keen
disappointment to him. There was
only little over $40 in money in the
house and all of this went into the
Golfers of the bold burglar. Then he
took gold watch belonging to Hide
brande and valued at hundred dol
lars, several other smaller pieces of
iewelry. completed the list. of the
booty.
Hildebrande came to Kenosfa early
Sunday morning and reported the loss
to the sheriff and the chief of police,
and an effort was at once made to find
some trace of the stolen goods. No
suspicious characters had been seen
about the farm during the last few
days and the deputy is able to give
the officers no clue to aid them in
their work.
Cards describing the property and
offering a reward for the capture Of
the guilty parties have been sent to
other cities and it is possible that the
goods may be found later.

their school days in Rochester Acad-

it is possible that petition may be

MAKE FINE EXHIBIT
Fine Collection Of Landmarks
Shown by Club Women At
tracts Much Attention.
DELEGATES ARE INTERESTED

One of the most interesting
features of the gathering Of club wo-
men in Kenosha is ar exhibit Of land
marks which has been set up in the
club rooms of the Kenoslaa Woula MS
Club in the Gilbert M. Simmons
library. The collection is one that
has been gathered after a great deal
of research both in Kenosha and
other cities of the state audit is GER
tainly the finest exhibit of antiquities
ever shown at any meeting of the
State Federation.
The exhibit has been arranged
under the direction of Mrs. William
Walcott Strong of this city and it is
exceedingly pleasing to the club wo-
men. Many of the delegates who ar
rived on Tuesday spent their first
night in Kenosha inspecting this
splendid collection of Landmarks
of their fathers and grandfathers.
No sort of antiquity was over
looked in the arrangement of the ex-
hibit but many Of them are worthy of
special notice. There is fine dis
play of books many. Of. them dating
back more than three hundred and
some four hundred years. Of great
interest is one of the original folios of
Shakespeare, while another is His
tory of America written and published
in the early half Of the seventeenth
century. One book that attracted
wide interest was by Increase Latham
of Milwaukee. It was printed In
Milwaukee in 1916 and is thought to
have beenfone of the first books pub
1ished in Wisconsin. Then there is a
display of school texts and New Eng
land primers which is of more than
passing interest
Dear to the heart of every woman is
the remarkable display of old quilts
which have been collected with a
great deal of care. Many of the
quilts date back to Revolutionary
days, while some of them are of even
an earlier period. Of equal interest
is the large number of samplers ar
ranged in artistic manner about the
rooms. These date back to 1854. One
interesting exhibit is fan which had
belonged to one of the women who
was the wife of one of the residents of
Boston who had attended the his
toric Boston tea party.
Early Wisconsin history is well
shown in the display of Indian baskets
and arrow heads, many Of which we're
secured from Indians who formerly
resided in the state. OF rare inter
est was an early view of .Kenosha
painted in 1883 by M. Nocke, who has
since been made a member of the
Royal Academy Of England. There
is noteworthy exhibit of silhouettes
gathered from different parts of the
state and portraying early characters
of interest to the club women.
One department of che exhibit il
given over entirely to display Of old
dresses and wedding dresses worn bY
mothers and grand-mothers and even
reat-grandmothers attracted atten-
ton from the visitors today.
There is a vast amount OF old china
and old bronze and silver, one of the
priceless exhibits loaned being a Gun
which formerly belonged to Louis
Philippe of France.
The exhibit of landmarks is a new
feature of the convention, and from
the attention it attracted it is evident
that the move started by the Kenosha
hosts will be repeated from year to
year in the future.
