The noxious weed notice giving a
long list of noxious weed which prop
erty owners must destroy before July
10 is out and it is the intention of
the street commissioners to see to it
that every one of the weeds is de-
stroyed before or shortly after that
date. The season has been unusually
favorable this year for the growth
of the weeds and the condition of
many pieces of vacant property about
the city and of the alleys indicates
that there is lot of work ahead for
somebody if the order is strictly com
piled with. The commissioners declare
that there will be favoritism shown
in the enforcement of the law requir-
ing the destruction of the weeds and
that they intend to do their part
towards the city beautiful movement
by enforcing the order to the letter.
There has been very noticeable in
crease in the number of property own
ers identifying their homes in the
past two or three years and we'll kept
lawns and flower beds are the rule
now instead of the exception all over
the city and the owners of vacant
property should be willing to help
this good work along by prompt com
pliance with this noxious weed order.l
1t is hardly to be expected that they
win keep their property up to the
mark set by their neighbors all of
the time, but the least they can do is
to cut the weeds ON their holding so
that the blowing seeds win not dam
age the lawns and flower beds in the
vicinity.

Charles Francis Adams visited the
Isthmus of Panama recently. That
which impressed him the most was not
the huge ditch nor the engineering
feats accomplished. They struck him
as remarkable solely because of their
magnitude and eoncentratedness.
"But when it comes to the santa
tion," says he, (Which made all that
is now going on at Panama humanity
and humanely possible, this is new, and
the like of it the world never before
had seen. Face to face with it, read
ing of it in the movements OF the men.
and the faces of the children, I frank
ly admit that what I saw smote the
imagination. -
Mr.. Adams visited the Canal Zone
in March. He and some friends sat
outside a Panama hotel with no pro-
lection between them and the trees
and shrubs near the hotel, with pow
erful electric light over their heads,
and yet not an insect of any kind, fly,
gnat, or moth, was visible or audible.
In March, 1906, he was on the White
Nile at the same latitude as Panama,
and fo4Ad it a pesthole swarming with
insect life. Flies were accepted there
As an ineseapable affection, but in the
Canal Zone there were none.
1t seems to Mr.. Adams and so viii
it seem to others that what has been
accomplished in the Canal Zone in the
way of warfare against disease bear,
ng insects could be accomplished with
greater ease and less cost, compare
.ively speaking, in northern lands. He
hopes to see the war against household
disease disseminators extended to the
lew England tavern, boarding house,
md railroad eating room. 1t should
not stop there, but be extended to
every household il this city, state, and
country Tribune.

The street assessment committee of
the council has been instructed to in
vestigate the sewer at the west end
of Elizabeth street and if it finds that
the city did not get what its contract
called for, the city will attempt to re-
cover the cost of making necessary
changes from the contractor. 1t is
alleged that this sewer is three inches
smaller than it should be, but it is
rather late for the officials to investi-
gate and there is very little chance for
the city to recover if it is found that
the city has been cheated in the build
ing of this sewer. The time to find out
these things is before a job is accept
ed and paid for. Tt hardly seems
possible that any such error could
have been passed by the representa-
tives of the city.

Any possibility of immediate action
by the county board on the proposed
erection of training school for teach
ers in this county went glimmering
on Wednesday when the friends and
promoters Of the school failed to Sc
cure the signatures of majority of
the members of the county board to
the call for the special meeting to be
held on June Goth and the opposition
that has developed is so strong that
it is beginning to look as if the entire
scheme for the building of the school
may be abandoned.
Under the law the last time for the
signing of the call for the special
meeting was Wednesday and although
the promoters of the plans for the
school made hard effort they failed
to land the one man needed to com
plete the call. New members of the
board elected at the last spring cleo
tion seem to be little shy in getting
into the controversy and John T. Yule
is leading rather determined opposi-
ton to the movement.
Letters have been recently received
from the state superintendent which
indicate that the state will take action
to reverse the granting of the permit
for the school to this county as it is
now declared that there are half
dozen counties in the state anxious to
establish training schools and for this
reason the state superintendent will
not hold up permit for any county
not ready to act. There win be no
extension of the number of schools
and it is beginning to look as if Ke-
nosha county is out of it.
The right of the state superintendent
to withdraw the permit pending final
action by the county board is being
called into question by some of the
members of the board and it is posi-
| BILE that they will be able to show
the state official that Kenosha county
| must have the chance of opening the
school until such a time as the county
has formally turned down the plans of
the superintendent which were sane
toned at the last session of the board.
It was expected that the plan would
have the unanimous support of the
members of the board from the rural
distritc, but the luke warm manner in
which these men regard the question
seems to have added strength to the
city members in opposition to the plan.
County Superintendent Kerwin will
probably make no further effort to get
a special meeting Of the board to take
up the matter, but will wait and make
a fight before the regular session of
the board when it is held in Novem-
Der. It will take a two thirds vote
to get the appropriation and to this
end it is beginning to look as if the
fight were a hopeless one. The county
superintendent, however, seems to be
convinced that the members of the
| board opposing the plan have the
wrong view of the situation and that
on sober second thought that they
will be willing to aid in the plans for
the building of the school.

Members Of Vesta Circle and Many
Visitors Pay Honors to Archon.

There was a notable gathering of
the members of the Vesta Circle on
Wednesday evening in honor of Mrs.
Alvina Pitts, arehon of the local lodge
