COMPLAIN OF sTUNTED PLANT
Kenosha Cabbage Growers Report
Seems To Be Plenty of Hay

Says the Produce Dealer in a
special dispatch from Kenosha, the
Kenosha Produce company being the
informant:
The ca bbage outlook here is not very
encouraging. We believe the acreage
will be nearly as large as last year.
The plants are about only one-half
out and are two to three weeks late,
as nearly all other crops are here due
to the cold and wet conditions. There
is com plant here on account of the
stunteds plant. Some are almost too
small to set out with the planter
This is true only in some locations,
in others elephants have grown too
large, the ground being too wet to set
them outlat the right time.
Some of the growers have worked
up wet land rather than wait, and the
groundssis SO lumpy that it is almost
impossible to use it. In addition to
adverse weather conditions, there
has been complaint of slugs attack
ing the roots of the plants, so there is
considerable skirmishing for good
plants.
One man said he put in seed enough
and early enough for about so acres of
cabbage, but there will be about
enough to plant 20 acres. There is
practically no early cabbage in this
vicinity. The whole condition is un-
satisfactory at present, but with fa-
vorable weather, good respite from
rainy spells, favorable late fall and
we may have plenty Of cabbage. The
only good crop here seems to be hay.

SAVES BOYS LIFE
Mrs. John de Young Wades Into Lake
To Save Life of Vernon Armstrong

MIS- J oHH de Ouu& w aQeS 4nEO Lake
To Save Life of Vernon Armstrong
Mrs. John de Young, residing al
91o Park street, was the heroine IN a
very pretty little incident late Wed.
nesday afternoon when she jumped
into the lake TO save the life of Yer.
non Armstrong, a nine year old boy
who was drowning. Through the
efforts of Mrs. de Young, the boys
life was saved and she is now entitled
to Carnegie medal for her bravery.
Young Armstrong and party of
little boys had gone to the break
water at the end of Eng 1ish Court for
fishing excursion on Wednesday after
noon and just after four o'clock the
boy became so excited with the fish
ing that he lost his balance and fell
into the lake. The water was about
five feet deep at this point but the
boy was SO badly frightened that he
was fast sinking. Mrs. de Young was
walking along the Park walk and saw
the boy fall into the lake.
She rushed to the hreakwater, and
without waiting for any further pre-
partitions she jumped into the water.
She was able to wade out to the point
where the boy was laundering about
IN the water, and she caught him lust
before he went down for the last time.
The little fellow was carried to the
breakwater by the brave woman, and
IN short time he had entirely re
covered from his plunge into the lake.
By the time the boy was rescued
the shouts of his companions had
drawn quite crowd to the lake
front, and when Mrs. De Young car
ried the boy in she was greeted with
rounds of applause.

North Side People Again Complain
Against Pollution of Keno
sha River by Tannery
OFFICER TO INVESTIGATE
May Demand That Tannery Company
Build Private Sewer To Garry
Off the Liquor and Refuse
From the Big Watts

The old question of the pollution
the dumping of refuse from the watts
of the N. r. Aliens Sons company
has again brought forth loud pro-
test from people residing on the
north side of the city and a complaint
has been laid before Health Officer
DR.. ]. B. Spalding asking that he take
some immediate steps to abate the
nuisance. Some months ago the mem
bers of the State Board of Health
we're brought to Kenosha to investi-
gate the conditions in the river
and at that time it was thought that
an agreement had been reached with
the tannery managers which would
result in the river being kept clear of
refuse matter. The company spent
large sum of money dredging the
river and arrangements were COM
pleted by which the refuse matter
from the watts was to be taken from
the plant and dumped outside the
city.
| 1t is now claimed that the river is
almost as badly polluted as before
and the people are making loud pro-
test against the stencil arising from
| the river 1t is claimed that all of
the animal matter is not being hauled
away and that portion of it is still
being dumped into the river. DIR.
| Spalding stated this NOR ming thNf@it
4 InSc II IT. n nf
the big plant had tried hard to carry
out the orders of the State Board in
regard to keeping the river clear from
refuse, but that he feared that it
would be necessary to secure some
other arrangement. He will take the
matter up with the members of the
State Board OF Health at an early
conference and after this has been
done an effort will be made to arrange
for meeting between the members
of the State Board and the managers
of the tannery. The people have
made number of suggestions as to
the manner of getting rid of this re-
fuse and the most practical plan
sug gested to the Department is to
have the Allen company build sewer
into the lake which would carry out
not only the liquor from the watts, but
a large portion of the animal matter
which has been dumped into the river.
Another plan that has been sug-
gested to the Health Department is tc
have the matter from the tannery
carried away in scows operated by the
company. Either of the plans would
result in a heavy expenditure to the
company. To get fleet of scows tc
carry off the refuse would demand a
large expenditure, and if sewer was
built from the tannery it would be
necessary to have the refuse carried
far out into the lake so that it would
not interfere in any manner with the
water supply of the city. Both plans
have been tried with success by the
big tanneries in other cities. In Mil.
waukee system of flushing the river
is used, but it is not thought that such
a plan could be used in Kenosha.
DR.. Spalding is of the opinion that
the managers Of the tannery will meet
the department half way in any plan
that may be suggested either by the
local Board of Health or by the mem
bers of the State Board.

Assessors Reports Show Increase
in Personal Property in City
Over Last Year
FACTORIES MAKE BIG GROWTH
Total Increase in the Personal Prom
erty Assessments of the City Will
Amount to More Than a
Million Dollars

The assessors of the city this mora
ing practically com pleted the work of
assessing the personal property OF the
city, and the report shows that there
has been a great increase IN the
value of the industrial plants Of ke-
nosha during the year just closed. Ii
also shows that many Kenosha people
are growing in wealth which is listed
as personal property. In round tig-
ures the increase in the value Of the
personal property in the year will be
more than a million dollars. Large
increases have been made in the as
sessment of private individuals, bot
of course the greater part of the in.
crease is shown in the great growth
of the stocks of the various manufac-
turing concerns. The largest in
crease is shown by the Chicago Brass
company, which filed a schedule
showing an increase of close on to
two hundred thousand dollars. The
increase for the Simmons Manufac-
turing company is also very large.
The N. r. Aliens Sons taunery re-
mains firmly IN the first place for per-
sonal property, with an assessment
Of more than million and a half.
The only factory which has not re-
turned the schedule to the assessors
is the Thomas B. Jeffrey company,
and it is expected that this will be
filed within short time.
The assessment of the company for
last year was 5000, 900 and Chas. JEFF
fiery in speaking of the matter this
morning stated that it would show an
increase but how much he could not
say. While the great bulk of the in-
crease in the personal property has
been in few cases, nearly every per-
sonal assessment has been slightly
increased, the amount of increase
ranging from few to hundreds of
thousands. The total assessed value
alton of the property in the city will
be made up Within the next week and
turned over to the city clerk. 1t will
be much larger than last year on ac-
count of the fact that both the real
estate and the personal assessment
have been raised. The assessors be-
lieve that Kenosha is now pretty uear-
~ up to an equita BILE value when cou-
sidered in connection with the other
cities in the state. The managers of
the big plants in theKcity as well as
the citizens have treated,the assessors
with great deal of fairness this year
and nearly all requested to do so have
filed schedules without being. bounded
by the assessors. It is interesting to
know just who is paying thesbu1k of
the taxes on personal property and the
following list contains the names aud
assessments of residents ihaving an
assessment of $10,C0 or over:

DREAM LOCATES BURIED CASH.
Woman Digs Up Several Hundred Dol.
lars and Papers.

Hutchinson. Neb.-Mrs. Thomas
Lewis discovered. by means of a
strange dream. several hundred dol.
lars and papers OF considerable value
which her husband buried on his
ranch In Deuel. county short time
before his death. He did not tell any
one where they were secreted.
Mrs. Lewis knew that her husband
had the money on the premises at the
time OF his death and she made dill
gent search Immediately after the fu-
neral. but failed to find anything.
Her two sons and friends OF the fam.
fly living near by them took up the
search, but the hidden treasure was
not to be found.
Several nights ago Mrs. Lewis went
to bed thinking and worrying about
the missing money and papers, and
when she fell asleep she had dream
in which she saw her husband burying
a rusty old tin box in a secluded spot
back of the house. So strongly did
the dream Impress her that after she
arose the next morning Mrs. Lewis
took spade and, going to the spot
where in her dream she had seen her
husband burying the box, she dug
down in the ground two or three feet
and found the money.
