men took hold ot the Republic mine and
risked their money in development

uncovered a body OF rich ore which
made the mine dividend payer. From
that moment, the fate OF the district

the result in most cases was more than
encouraging. other dividend-paying
properties will be added until one OF
the most prosperous mining districts in
the United States will be found right

The action OF the house in striking out
the senate amendment TO the delinquent
tax bill, which provided for commission
with power to compromise with delinquent
property-owners when the valuation OF
the property assessed is manifestly excess
siye, is to be regretted. This provision is
a fair one. and IL allowed to stand will
result in the payment of a large amount of
delinquent taxes which will otherwise be
uncollectible. As the bill now stands 1t
will be but partially effective.

LABOR IN SEATTLE.

City Labor Commissioner CIRCUITS re-
port for 1898 reflects the marked sue
cess. as well as the good luck, with
which Seattle has handled the conges-
ton Of the labor market following the
klondike excitement. Notwithstand-
ing that the influx of men seeking work
in connection with the Alaska rush was
as great as any that has taken place
TO American cities under like circum-
stances. the amount of personal hard
ship endured by those who had nothing
To depend upon when they reached here
but their capacity to work, never be-
came such as To carry even a rumor Of
distress to the outside world.
The explanation which Mr.. Grout
gives of the manner in which conges-
ton was avoided Is interesting, and
throws much light on the general indus
trial conditions OF the state. Says his
report: Fortunately some of the new
arrivals brought capital with them. and
this naturally sought avenues of use
spent for outfits and Alaska supplies
soon found its way into other channels
OF trade. and the congestion began to
be relieved. Boats were built for the
Alaska trade. citizens began to repair
and improve their property. mills ran
full time. and soon thousands OF mo
chanics ana laborers were employed To
add to this the railroads centering at
Seattle began "a system OF repair work
along their various lines. which en-
ployed all the surplus common labor In
the market"
The actual number OF men and
women given employment during the
year was nearly 1890. an Increase Of more
taan 20 per cent. over the number IN
1897. The average cost 10 the city was
about cents per Individual which is
small enough sum to justify beyond
question the maintenance of the en-
ployment bureau. Had the city not
undertaken this means of dealing with
the floating population incident 10 the
gold discoveries. the expense in the reg
ulating Of crime. the caring for Migrants

So great was the triumph OF the Re-

the absence OF the senators from The

PAID OFF THE DEBT.
SWEDISH LUTHERANS NOW WOR-
SHIP IN A TEMPLE OF THEIR OWN
MR.. SIMMONS WAS GENEROUS
Gives Half the Remaining Indebtedness
When the Church Had Raised che
Remainder-other Large
Gifts Are Made.

Today the Swedish Lutheran society
of Kenosha worship in temple that is
their own without any doubt whatever,
for at the meeting of the congregation
Sunday the pastor, Rev. G. K. Stark,
announced that the financial committee
of the board of trustees had finally
raised sufficient money to pay off every
cent of money still owed on the build
ing and its equipment.
The church was dedicated about two
months ago at cost of over 5000.
At the time of the dedication there re-
NAMED to be paid on the church a
little over $500, or to be exact, 1892.
At the time of the dedication z. G..
Simmons, although he had. already
given 5000 toward the new church
building, he offered to pay one half of
the debt remaining on the church.
The members at once turned in and
worked hard to raise the remaining
$500 and last week they completed the
work. Not only did they raise the
needed $416, but original subscriptions
to the amount of nearly $500 were not
paid and it devolved on the church to
raise this amount also. The check
from Mr.. Simmons was received on
Saturday and now not single cent of
Indebtedness remains on the church.
The people of Kenosha have come
literally to the support of the church
and MANY very generous donations
were received, among which was one
for 800 given by the N. r. Aliens Sons.
Rev. G.. K. Stark merits great deal
of praise for the splendid work he has
done in relieving the new church from
Indebtedness in such short time.

WANT LAW REPEALED
KENOSHA ATTORNEYS SEND A Pc
Triton TO STATE LEGISLATURE.
WOULD CREATE A NEW OFFICE
The once of Registrar in Probate is the
once In Question, 1t is Now Held
Ex-oficio tY the Clerk of the
Court.

A petition has been circulated among
the Kenosha attorneys which will be
presented to the state legislature in
the near future. 1t is for the purpose
of having the state legislature repeal
tho law passed several years ago,
which consolidated the Offices of Regis
trar in Probate and that of Clerk of the
Circuit Court.
Kenosha county is the only county in
the state in which these two offices are
consolidated, as in all other counties
the Office is an appointive one, under
the direction and patronage of the
County Judge.
The change in Kenosha county was
made when Judge Van Wyck was first
elected and as he needed assistance
the attorneys of the city drafted a
bill which passed the State Legislature.
This law created the Office of Registrar
in Probate and made it the Office of the
Clerk of the Court ex officio. The first
few years that the law was in force ii
proved a great success, but in later
years previous to the election OF the
election of the last two officials, the real
duties of the Offices were often left
undone and the drawing of salary was
the only duty performed by the Clerk
as Registrar in Probate.
This question has long been discussed
by the attorneys and they have now
decided to ask the State Legislators TO
make the Office an appointive one as in
the other counties of the State.
The petition, however, distinctly
states that the law when repealed shall
not go into effect until after 1901, or
when the term of the present official
has expired. The petition has been
signed by nearly all the attorneys in
the city and will be presented to the
Legislature at once.
