The OLD, OLD WORLD.

This old, old world is a dreary place
For the man whose pass is a frown-
ing face;
Who looks for the shadows instead
of the light;
For the sordid and dull instead of the
bright;
Who sees but the worry and labor and
strife
Instead of the glory and sunshine of
life.
This old, old world is a sad abode
For the man wao travels along life's
road,
With never a laugh and new a song
To tighten the toll as he goes along;
With lever a smile or a word of cheer
To soften the way for his fellows here.
But for him who possesses the saving

SeEders of Packages Weighing
Under One Hundred Pounds
Must Pay Higher Rate
LOCAL AGENTS GET NOTICE
Large Shippers Will Not be Affected
BY the Change in the Rates, But
the Small Shippers Will
Forced To Pay

The merchants and small manu-
facturers in the state will have to
make up the loss to the railroad com.
panies through the reduction of the
passenger rate which was brought
about by the passage of the two-cent
rate by the legislature recently. This
was shown Monday when the rail-
roads increased their minimum rate
between Kenosha and Chicago and
Milwaukee as we'll as between other
points in the state. The increase be-
tween Kenosha, Chicago and Mill
waukee is the only one that interests
local shippers and they will find that
their freight bills will be considerable
larger within the next few weeks.
The minimum rate was formerly Is
cents and now has been increased to
40 cents. This rate went into effect
between Kenosha and Milwaukee
Monday, and will go into effect be-
tween this city and Chicago on Sept.
2. That is the rate per hundred
pounds, but thousands of shipments
are made that do not weigh any where
near that amount. 1t is the small
shipper that will suffer as the large
shipper gets the same rate as before
the reason being that his shipments
are all over 100 pounds and run as
high as several tons.
Heretofore the railroads carried
package that weighed but ten pounds
to Chicago or Milwaukee for Is cents.
The rate would be the same on a
package which weighed 80 pounds,
Now all packages weighing less than
1OO pounds will be charged for at the
rate of 40 cents for each such pack
age. The large shipper will not suffer
as he is given the old rate at Is cents
a hundred for the reason that his
shipments run over 100 pounds. The
freight on shipment weighing 200
pounds would be 80 cents if charged
for at the present minimum rate
which the small shipper must pay.
Instead of that the Is cent rate covers
that shipment and the freight would
be but so cents.
The person who receives small ship
ments will have to pay the price, as
he cannot secure but the minimum
rate of 40 cents if the package weighs
less than 100 pounds. Ia short. the
companies refuse to handle any sized
package less than 100 pounds in
weight less than 40 cents,
The merchants have no redress and
they will be forced to pay the rate un-
less they have their shipments sent
by express. So far the express COM
panles have not signi6ed an increase
and the merchant will be able to ship
by express cheaper than by freight.
The express companies will therefore
be the gamers by the new rate on
the railways.

FIGHT BY INJUNCTION
C. & M. R'y Co. Has Hard Time
Getting Rightof WayThrough
South Milwaukee
FARMER HOLDS UP WORK

Building electric or other railways
through an agricultural district is no
easy matter. Officers of the Chicago
& Milwaukee Electric Railway com
pany have found this out. When GO
ing through Racine county all kinds
of objections came up on the part of
the farmers and number of law suits
resulted, because the farmers did rot
believe they were getting sufficient
money for damages to farm lands.
All were settled in one way or an
other and the line of road is about
finished through the county.
Scores of men are now at work over
the line in Milwaukee county and
now the troubles have commenced
that way. With force Of arms Jacob
Munzinger, a South Milwaukee farm
er, has been opposing the advance of
the railway across his property.
The trouble came up in the Mil.
waukee court before Judge Williams
Tuesday. Upon the petition of the
electric line, appearing by Attorney
Thomas W. Spence, Judge Williams
signed an injunction restraining Mr..
Munzinger from interfering with the
men employed by the railroad COM
pany.
Title to the land involved in the suit
will be quieted after Mr.. Munzinger
has been served with the order of the
court. The railroad clsims it has the
right of way contract with Munzinger,
under which it was granted permits
sion to put down its tracks across his
property. Mr.. Munzinger was offered
$4,000 by the company for his rights, it
is averred. But Notwithstanding the
contract Munzinger has sought by
show of strength to stop work across
his place according to the petition.

Heirs Of the Late F. A. Higgins,
Of Pleasant Prairie, Re. open
Fight for the Property
HUNDRED HEIRS DEFENDANTS
Named as Plaintiffs in Suit to Quit
Title.-Suit the Echo of Famous
Kenosha County will Contest

One of the most interesting pieces
of litigation ever known in Kenosha
county was recalled today when suit
was filed in which Fred F. Higgins
and Charles Higgins are the plaintiffs
and the heirs of, the late Fitch A.
Higgins to the number of more than
hundred are named as the defend
ants. The suit is brought to clear the
title of a farm of $50 acres in the town
|of Pleasant Prairie just west of the
limits of the city. The farm is valued
at close to $50, 900.
The suit is an echo of the once ia
nous will contest that was tried in the
courts of Kenosha county. Fitch A.
Higgins was one of the wealthy pic.
neer residents of the county and when
he died in the early eighties he left an
estate valued at close to $150,000. He
left will, and this will was contested
by the heirs and finally broken, the
courts holding that the construction
of the will was of such nature that
it would be impossible to divide the
property. All of the property save
the farn Of go acres was assigned to
the heirs of the deceased, and by the
order of the court this was given to
f. F. Higgins for life and to go to his
heirs at his death. In case that he
should leave no heir it was to revert to
the heirs of Fitch A. Higgins. All Of
the five original heirs TO the estate
gave quit claim deeds to the property
to Fred f. Higgins, but the attorneys
that have been retained by the heirs
further removed declare that these
cult claim deeds were Of no value on
they we're given no title to the prop
erty had been vested in the heirs. On
this account the suit has been brought
for the rich prize of the clear title to
the land.
Amanda Foster, of Racine, is the
only one of the five original heirs who
quit claimed the title to the land liv-
ing but other heirs of Fitch A. Hig-
gins are scattered all over the United
States and names of people living in
cities from Maine to California are
named as defendants in the suit. It
is claimed that as Fred F. Higgins
has at the present time no heir there
is reason to believe that in case of the
death of F. F. Higgins the property
now held bv him will revert to the
heirs and that each one of the hum
dred defendants will be entitled to a
portion of the farm. Quite number
of the heirs are now residents of Ke-
nosha county and they are taking the
greatest interest in the outcome of
the fight. Efforts are being made to
secure service in the case on the vari-
Gus defendants and it is expected that
the case will be ready for trial at the
Septe mber term of the Circuit Court.
