This residence was among the most
handsome i'm town and very taste
fully and expensively furnished. The
loss is unknown now. but the insur-
ance will only partially cover the loss
of house and furnishings.

NAPLES IN DANGER
Maple Scale Threatening Life Of
Many Old Maple Trees in vari..
Gus Parts of the City
PESTS WORK WIDELY SPREAD

Recent examinations of the trees in
streets and parks show that the old
enemy of the naples, the cottony
scale, is on hand again, especially up
on the younger branches and young
trees, preparing for a renewal Of it's
campaign of destruction. The young
er elns are also loaded with scale
insect, called by some the San Jose
scale, which Injuries the younger
branches At the present time the
maple scale is multiplying rapidly and
it is in just the right condition to be
killed off by spraying. Experience
has also shown that spraying with
hard soap kerosene emulsion is the
most satisfactory method of attack.
This can only be attempted on large
trees by men equipped with the proper
appliances. In many cases where the
trees are small man with stiff, handy
house brush can scruff off both forms
of scale, using a pail full of strong
soapsuds to which has been added a
pint of kerosene and the whole tho
roughly beaten up to an emulsion while
hot
The cottony scale pest also multipiies
to considerable extent on the wood
bine, grapevine, box elder and bass
wood. 1t should be thoroughly clean
ed wherever and whenever it is posi-
BILE. The cottony bunch arising from
beneath the scale contains hundreds Of
the young insects. If allowed to de-
velop they will soon attack the leaves
and destroy the vital plant substance.
The poison ivy, noxious vine or
creeper, is one of the sumac family.
1t attaches itself to the bark of trees,
preferring elms in this locality, by
means of numerous aerial roots, hence
its name Rhus Radicans, or the root
ing sumac. In transferring herbs,
shrubs, trees and woods earth from our
local forests it is not strange that the
poison ivy has been transplanted into
our gardens and public places
That it should be permitted to re-
main is contrary to law. It's poisonous
effects are far reaching and very harm
full to many people. On the other
hand some people seem to be entirely
immune from its i'll effects. There is
difference of opinion as how best to
destroy it. To pull it up root and all
and lay it out to die in the hot sun is
effectual, if the party doing the work
is immune to the poison
With long handled, sharp hoe it
can be dug out and then dried or burn
ed, but the burning should not take
place near occupied human dwellings,
Several cases of this poisoning have
occurred lately in our city and per-
sons sensitive to the poison should be
on guard against it. To distinguish
the plant, one should bear in mind
woodbine or Virginia creeper, but has
only three leaflets on each stalk, while
the woodbine has five.

The city authorities have promised
that the new bathing beach is to be
kept clean and decent at all times and
that the best of order is to be main
tanned so that it will be safe at all
hours of the afternoon and evening
for the women and children of the city
and it will be easy enough to keep this
promise provided the first eases of

esta blished these beaches have had
trouble with the lawless element at
first but it should be made plain right
from the start that the bath house and
beach, to be opened Saturday are for
the use Of those who are willing tc
conform to the few simple and neces-
sary rules laid down and that all who
cannot conform to these rules will be
barred from the privileges of the
beach.

The trunk line sewer is needed and

that the sewer should be built, but no
one has come forward with any feast
BILE plan for paying for the work. The
Council has about completed the prep
aration Of the plans for the sewer and
in desperation it may go ahead and
start the work even if there is no
money in sight to carry it forward, but
it will have to be admitted that no
private corporation would begin an i'm
provement of such magnitude while
facing a big deficit.

Walter CowelI Demads q Million
Dollars Damages From State
Of Illinois and Officials
He ALLEGES FALSE ARREST
Case in Which Cowell Was Arrested
for Conspiracy Noled by Circuit
Court Without Hearing
and Suit Follows

A ,Kenosha man has the honor of
bringing the largest suit ever brought
in the United States Court for the
eastern district of Illinois as Walter
Ne. Coweil by his attorney, Leslie III.
- nipp, filed in that court today an
action in which the State of Illinois,
the City Of Chicago and Judge Grove
of the Municipal Court and John G.
Young Of Chicago are named as de-
PENDANTS. The suit demands damages
in the sum Of one million dollars.
Cowell has had considerable experience
in litigation and 4 million dollar action
for damages is directly in his line. 1t
| is declared that the suit is brought in
good faith and that it will be bitterly
contested. The suit is demand for
damages for false arrest and it is
based on an action started against
Cowell by John G. Young more than
year ago. At that time lowell was
arrested on charge of conspiracy and
held by Municipal Judge Grove for
trial in the Circuit Court under bonds
of $4,000. At the preliminary hear
ing of the case Cowell through his at
torney served notice on the officials OF
the state and city that he would bring
an action for damages. There was lit
tie evidence of conspiracy against him,
but Judge Grove held that it was sui
ficient to bind him over. The case was
called before Judge Hickman Seaman
in the Circuit Court there on Tuesday
and when the facts in the case were
presented to the court he at once
ordered that nolle be entered in the
case and scored the attorneys who had
caused the arrest of Cowell
The arrest Of the former Kenosha
man followed a deal between Cowell
and Young in which the latter claimed
that he had been defrauded It was
shown that the men went into the deal
with their eyes open and the former
Kenosha attorney declares that if any
one got the wrong end Of the deal u
was himself. Cowell in his big suit for
damages declares that his arrest and
the worry which followed the various
hearings in the case wrecked MS health
and nervous ystem. He declares that
his condition was such that he was
unable to attend to his business which
amounted to large sums of money
annually. Cowell claims that it was
while he was worrying over this case
in the Criminal Court that he was in
jured by falling under a street rail
way car and in this accident he was
crippled for life. He has already
brought a suit against the Chicago City
Railway Company as a result Of this
accident demanding damages in the
sum of 100000 and the company is
alleged to have offered to settle this
case for a sum considerable in excess
of $4,000. This offer has been refus-
ed by Cowell and the case is to come
up for trial in the courts Of Chicago
within a few days.
The million dollar suit in the United
States Court will undoubtedly excite
considerable attention, but as Cowell
has been in the lime light before he
will not be worried by this.

The street railway company may
have delayed the work on the paving
of Market Square little by its
failure to get in It's curves in time,
but you will notice by the way the
company is now rushing the work that
it is not the intention to hold up i'm
provements any longer than is abso-
lutcly necessary. The attitude shown
by the present management towards all
Improvements is in sharp contrast to
the old system under the last year or
two of the Frost regime when all city
work was expected as a matter of
course to await the convenience of the
company without regard to any annoy
ances caused by the delays. The
readiness to go ahead with their share
of any improvements shown by the
present owners OF the road illustrates
as nothing else could the advantages
of dealing with corporation with
plenty Of capital and a disposition to
let go OF, it over trying to do business
with one which has to raise the funds
before it can carry out its obligations.
