FIRST B. Y. P. u. RALLY.
Racine Royalty Entertains Delegates from
Kenosha and Milwaukee.

About forty-five members of the B.
Y.P. U, of Kenosha, went to Racine
Friday evening on the 6:18 train to at
tend the first grand rally of the B. 7.
p. q.
Upon their arrival in Racine they
were met by committee from the
First Baptist church, and we're con-
veyed to the church on Wisconsin and
Eighth streets.
After cordial welcome from the
president of the Racine association, re-
freshments were served i'll the church
parlors, to which all did ample justice.
At 7:15 all adjourned to the church
auditorium, where for an hour and a
half they were entertained with speech
es and singing. The address of well
come was given by President Spence,
of the Racine society, and responded to
by President Herbert Coshun, of the
Kenosha society. Mr.. Moody, OF Mil
waukee, gave a very interesting ad-
dress, also the superintendent OF the
First Baptist church, of Milwaukee.
The singing was grand and inspiring,
and will not soon be forgotten by our
Kenosha delegation. AS the Milwau-
kee delegation, of which there were
about LOO, were obliged to leave on the
10 o'clock train, the meeting was nee
essarily shorter than intended. 1t was
closed by the singing of God be With
You Till We Meet Again." and a vote
of thanks to the Racine young people
for their kindness and hospitality in
the behalf of Kenosha and Milwaukee.
AS the Kenosha folks could not re-
turn till about o'clock, they were
made welcome in the church parlors,
Rev. D. B. Cheney, pastor of the
church, remaining with few others.
Before leaving Racine they were
conducted through the I. M. G. A.,
finding especial pleasure and interest
in the gymnasium room, where they
spent about an hour.
They returned to Kenosha about 3
O'Clock this MOI ming, 81! vcting it q de-
cided success and pleasant event.

A man who is well posted remarks

Large quantities of potatoes wer
frozen during the three weeks of eX-

Two of Kenosha's infant industries
are full of work and working extra
time. They are the Kenosha Novelty
works and the Windsor Wire Spring
company. The Brass works and the
Hosiery works are also running over
time.

all around it get away with her. The
little town of Oconomowoc, of 1000 OF

for the establishment of a public IL

upon an amateur circus. Ringing
Bros. and the Charity circus company
have been drawn upon for the neces-
sary tents, animals and cages for the
street parade. Local talent is to sup
ply all the rest. The thing is being
advertised in all the towns for miles
around, and rates will be made by the
railroads for the occasion. Every
preparation is being made for the
grandest kind of a success, and it viii

AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.
Fir. Benedict Calls Attention to the I'M
portance of Assessorship.


EDITOR EVENING NEWS: Upon
reading the notations under the head
ing of The Street Convention and
noting the remarks relative to the as
sessorship in our city for the present
year, / fully concur with the writer
relative to the Importance of the selec-
ton of some good, reliable man for that
position is an absolute necessity.
1t is passing strange that this office,
one Of the most difficult in the eXecu-
ton of its duties, requiring diligentcare
as to descriptions of property and judg-
ment as to values of the same should be
regarded with indifference by the voters
of the city, inasmuch as the interest OF
every property owner is affected by the
transactions in said Office and manner
of making the assessment.
That the assessment roll of the city
of Kenosha requires a careful and cCm-
plete revision to my mind is apparent,
and from examinations Of the same
from time to time i'll the prosecution OF
the business of the firm, of which | am
member, have noted very many err
rors in description and fragrant dis
proportionment of values placed upon
many pieces of property. | know OF
one business man in the city Of Keno
sha whose property was not assessed at
all. and have heretofore noted that
property, upon which had been erected
good and substantial buildings, assessed
upon the basis Of the value vi the lots,
the assessor evidently having lost sight
of the fact that such buildings had been
erected upon The lets. These omls-
sions occur from the fact that each as
SCISSOR goes to the assessment roll OF the
previous year, taking it for granted
that his predecessor was correct on the
description and valuation OF the same,
and the assessment roll is copied year
after year, by each succeeding assessor
elected, losing sight of any improve
ments upon the land in question, or OF
change of ownership to said property.
Hence you will find that property is
very often assessed to persons who at
one time we're the legal owners, but
had disposed of the same, and no
change of ownership entered upon the
assessment roll.
AS an illustration Of the faulty con-
dition of the assessment roll OF our
city, [ will say that a large property
owner and business man in our city,
before paying his taxes last year came.
to our firm with descriptions OF prop
erty taken from the assessment roll as
belonging to him, (my recollection is
that there were eighteen in number.)
Upon examination we found nine err
rors. He was assessed for property he
did not own, and in one or two in
stances property owned by him was not
assessed all this in the property owned
by one individual tax payer. [ am
positive that an examination OF the
assessment roll would diVulge errors as
to descriptions, and relative values of
property by the hundreds. This thing
should be changed. The Importance
Of which must be apparent to every
property owner.
1t is high time that this matter III
our elections should receive the atten-
ton that it's Importance demands.
Yours Respectfully,
D. B. BENEDICT.

Mayor Farr is not so much the talk Of
the town as you try to make out. In
stead of being good mayor he has
been an exceedingly weak one to my
notion
" Dr. FAIR has never been partisan,
although republican," said q well
known business man today. If you
look over his record you will not find
one place where he has appointed a
man to a place or committed an act
which in either case might be termed
partisan. Democrats and populists
have always been treated with the con-
sideration due men who entertain hon
est opinions, even if opposed to his.
having shown himself so fair in this
respect, he will get my vote as against
every other man"

deplorable condition, and our assessors
have been ridiculously negligent. Let's

THE ALL-AROUND GIRL.

Mrs. Woods, of Boston, is right
about the All-Around Girl. Every
great man is an all-around man, and
before any girl can become great
she must become all-around
Mrs. Woods is pleased to see
Young society women leaving the
waltz to carry flowers to the hos
pitfalls. That is a good thing, GER
tainly, but there are better things
still, and the all-around American
girl is capable of them.
Take a girl of that kind and teach
her to read Horace, Virgil and
Homer, to ride, row and swim, and
to do all the other things that the
modern girl is supposed to do. If
she is the right kind of girl all this
will not spoil her. 1t will rather
develop her 30 that if she needs to
support herself and the child she is
liable to have dependent on her at
some time in the future she will
open a milliner's shop and sell better
bonnets than any other milliner IN
the place The all around Amerl-
can girl is capable of that and a
good deal more than that. She has
shown it and she will continue to
show it.
The idea that knowledge is some
thing too high for girls is effeto
Everything a man really knows
helps him. II he is a smatterer and
a pretender, that is another matter
What is true Of men is true of wo
men. All they pretend to know
hurts them, but all they really dc
know helps them on towards the
highest of all human conditions
that of all arouDdness.
The all-around American girl IL
developing rapidly. Whether she
is college-bred or whether she comes
from shop or factory, she is sure tc
increase in numbers, in ability, il
usefulness. She is the hope Of thu
country.
There is one great danger she ha
-. to encounter, however, in her pro
gress towards all-aroundness. Sin
gularly enough. Mrs. Woods, O
Boston, overlooked it. 1t is tn
Boston habit of nearsightedness.
