To the Hon. County Board Of Super-
visors Of Kenosho County,
GENTLEMEN Your committee on
county assessment find, upon re-
ferring to the assessment of recent
years and comparing them with
actual valuations of to-day, that in
many instances the assessed valua-
ton of taxable property is placed
at figure not commensurate with
true valuations, and the returns
made are not calculated to the ad-
vancing of the financial interests of
the several towns and the city of
Kenosha. But inasmuch as the
coming year will in all probability
bring about changes that may re
quire thorough revising of the as
sessment roll, we recommend that
the assessment for the year 1898
stand as it is FIR another year, and

acknowledged by Great Britain: nota-

Demerara acknowledged Venezuela S

president, but resigned his Office to
Palachio, a creature of GuZman. The
anti-Guzmanites opposed this action
and took the matter to the supreme
court, which decided against Palachios
pretensions. Thereupon the would-be
president imprisoned all members Of
the supreme court. Crespo at that
time was on his immense cattle ranch,
and hearing of Palachio's revolutionary
action sent word to him that he must
release the members of the supreme
court. This Palachio refused to do,
whereupon Crespo organized a force OF

marching on the capitol with them
compelled Palachio to release the
judges and abandon his claim to the
