ISSUE A STATEMENT.
Social Democrats Declare That Frank
w. Nothing Held No Party Funds.

To correct any pprehension which
may have arisen in connection with the
reports of the death of the late Frank
w. Nohling statement has been given
out from authoritative sources in the
Social Democratic party in Kenosha in
regard to the financial relations of Mr..
Nothing with the organization. One
of the leading members of the Board of
Directors of the Kenosha Cooperative
Association Social Democratic Cmb)
IN an interview said: Mr.. Nohling held
no funds of the Social Democratic party
at the tisle of his death and it can be
said that his accounts with the Kenosha
Cooperative Association were entirely
correct in every way. He held no trust
funds nor any money which might be
considered in trust.
The statement was deemed advisable
on account of suggestions which were
made as result of the finding of the
letter left by the late Socialist leader
and it is made view of removing any
aspersions which might have been made
against the memory of the deceased.

Some OF the property owners whose
tract for cement walks to be built un-
der the supervision of the city let by
the council Monday evening do not pro-
pose to have their walks built by the
city at all and they are preparing to
fight any attempt of the city to do the
work even to the extent of taking the
matter into the courts if necessary.
They claim that it was understood by
all property owners when the ordinance
under which the city now proposes to
go ahead and build these walks was
first passed that all that would be need
ed to prevent any such action as has
been taken by the city would be a
contract for their walks with any repu+
table sidewalk builder; that they have
made their own contracts and at a
price considerably lower than the city
now proposes to charge them for the
same work; that it was impossible for
the sidewalk contractors to get all the
walks called for by the ordinance com
pleted within the time specified in the
notices for new walks served on the
property owners and that they are just
as much entitled to some leeway now
that their contracts for the work are
made as any other property owners
who were also unable to get their walks
built on time On their part the con-
tractors claim that they will be able to
complete all the work for which they
have orders just as rapidly as the con
tractors for the city would be able to
do it. The property owners who have
these contracts for walks made de-
clare that they acted in good faith
under the understanding outlined above
ana that they will fight any attempt on
the part of the city to make them
abandon their contracts and pay an in
crease price for the work. The action
of these property owners complexities
matters for the city for should the
city decide to go ahead and then sue
fo- the, cost of the work it is unlikely
that any court would award the city
any greater compensation that the in
dividual property owner could get the
work done for, as showl by his acon-
tract with the builders On the other
hand should the city decade to let all
those walks for whi9h. contracts. have
already been signed be built by the
owners it is possible taat its contractor
might not care. to carry out his bar.
gain. The price as fixed was ar aver
age for all the wor.. required by the
city, some of which admittedly cannot
be built at the price where there is
much excavating to do, and If the

It is becoming more and more ap-
parent as the time for the opening of
the schools approaches that even with
the addition of the Columbus school the
city is not going to have any more
room than is needed right now for
the accommodation of the scholars who
will apply for places in the schools and
that even with the better distribution
made possible BY the opening Of the
new building il will be necessary to
use basement rooms in some of the
buildings. This means that the board
Of education is going to want money
for now building right away in order
to keep up The standard always main
tanned in the schools Of Kenosha and
it also means that III all probability
the city will have to be saddled with
another bond issue to provide the funds.
The taxpayers Of the city will have
all they can do to stagger along under
The levy which must be made to meet
tie shortage Of this year and the cur
rent expenses of next without adding
in anything for new school buildings.
Not so many years aga the cost of
these buildings came out Of the levy
but these days we get record taxes
and stick on the bond issues in addi
ton. However SO long as the taxpayers
are satisfied with this system no one
else has ruph cause TO complain. .

Railway Officials at Wauke-
gan ThWart EfforttO Wreck
Flyer Tuesday Evening
Ties PILED ON THE TRACK

The lives Of several hundred passeng-
ers on fast Chicago train on the Chi
ca.go and Northwestern railroad were
saved Tuesday evening by the timely
discovery OF an apparent attempt to
derail the train at Waukegan.
Only ten minutes before the train was
due at that place James Dee, acting
.yardmaster, discovered the obstruction
which had been placed across the
tracks. One railroad tie had been
thrown crosswise on both rails. and an
other was lying lengthwise on one rail.
Both were supported in place by a big
stone.
Although the officials Of the road yes
terday minimized the attempted wreck
ing Of the train, agents of the road,
assisted by the police of Waukegan,
worked all day to discover who was
responsible for the placing of the OBJ
struction.
Reports that discharged laborers had
hand in the affair were denied by
General Manager R. FL. Ashton,
eve don't even know that an at
tempt was made to derail the train, ("
he said, although we have our agents
investigating the matter. We thought
perhaps that the ties had been thrown
there by boys. We have been able to
find no one who knows anything about
it,
Only a week ago about fifty Italian
laborers employed to build sand track
near Waukegan had dispute with
representatives Of the road over accom-
modations furnished them and quit
work in body. Later laborers in the
village made threats because they were
out Of work after being cent to Wau-
kegan to get railroad work
Chief of Police R. B. Conoly said in
the evening that he was satisfied some
one had attempted to wreck the train,
but he had been unable to obtain any
clew to the men responsible for placing
the obstruction on the rails.
"Whi1e I don Il know whether or not
dissatisfied laborers had anything to do
with the matter, many disappointed men
have come here and failed to get Jobs. -
he said. s.The employment agencies in
Chicago send dozens of men up along
the railroad to be put to work Often
the foremen of the construction gangs
forget to notify the labor agents that
they have all the men they want. We
frequently see angered men put out be-
cause they have failed to get work after
coming up here.
AS a rule these men are foreigners
and usually penniless. We have one of
them in the station tonight. He failed
to get railroad job, but we will find
him other work here

The city attorney may be unable to
tind any law under which the tanks of
the Standard Oil company can be forced
to move from their present location in
the heart of thiclIly settled district,

Thief Gets Long Term in Prison.
John Brooks arrested in Chicago last
Saturday on charge of stealing a
horse belonging to Fred Bowman of
the village of Wiimot was arraigned
before Judge Randall in the municipal
court this morning and entered plea
of guilty to the charges against him and
was sentenced to term of five years
at hard labor in the Wisconsin State
prison st Waupun. Brooks made a plea
to the court for leniency declaring that
he had never been connected with the
theft of any horse in this or any other
county. He admitted that he had been
drinking at the time the horse was TAX
en- and questioned his responsibility
for his actions. Judge Randall and
other judges in this section of the state
are determined to put an end to horse
stealing and for this reason a heavy
penalty was imposed. Brooks will
probably be taken to prison on Friday.

The. census figures for Milwaukee are
out and they show that the-leading city
OF the state has Kept up its regular ratio
of growth since the last census Of 1900
The percentage figures will not be quite
so high for the last period, but the
totals show that the population Of Mil
waukee has increased steadily at the
rate of over eight thousand a year for
the past twenty years. Figuring the in
crease in Kenosha on the same basis as
that shown in Milwaukee would give
this city well over $4,000.

Reports Of Cabbage Crop In
dictate Kenosha Raisers are
Hard Hit by Drought
F3
LATE RAINS MAY AID CROP

AS yet no exact idea can be formed
as to- what the cabbage crop will turn
out in most growing sections as the gen
eral opinion is that with favorable
weather there will be fair average
crop. On the other hand, if weather
conditions continue unfavorable there
will be another story to tell. I'm
doubtedly, dry hot weather has him
dered cabbage materially. Some fields
have been put out of the running, but
taking the situation as a. whole it can
not be denied that with an even break
of luck from now on there ought to be
a pretty fair showing in this territory
when the time come to cut the crop.
Wisconsin being the main cabbage state
this applies especially to that section.
Those who have followed the cabbage
deal for years declare that it is unsafe
to make any predictions about what the
crop will or will not yield until around
Sept. l, for if the stalks even are left
and if the weather is good there is
liable to be fair crop produced where
all hope had been given up. The only
time to be sure about the cabbage yield
is when it is cut and put into ware
houses or shipped.
Reports from Wisconsin fields in the
Packers Bulletin follow:
: Green Bay, sWis,-Delayed planting
caused by dry weather has reduced: the
cabbage acreage somewhat this year but
The crop is looking fairly good and I'M
der favorable conditions ought to be
better than last year; shipping will be-
gin the latter part of this month; will
use about 60 per cent of the crop for
kraut.
Reedsville, Vision account of the
long continued drought the cabbage
crop has been reduced one half at this
point.
Shiocton, Wis.-The outlook for a
cabbage crop is dubious at this point /;
stock is in poor condition, owing to late
planting; half crop is the most that
can be expected; shipping will depend
largely upon the fall rains; no cabbage
will be cut into kraut.
Fall Creek, Wis.-There will be no
cabbage to ship from here this year.
Union Grove, Wis.-The acreage of
cabbage is about equal to that of last
year; the crop is in bad condition, due
to the severe drought, and only half a
crop is expected; one-fourth of the crop
will be used for kraut as a new kraut
factory is being built.
Kansasville Wis.-Cabbage acreage
remains about the same; crop falls con-
siderable short of the average as there
has not been enough rain to settle the
dust since planting; harvesting will be
gin some time in September; about one
third of the crop viii go into kraut.
