Among the schemes for preserving
the memories of heroes not one is
more deserving of approval than the
proposf| IN to make Valley Forge a
national park. The name of Valley
Forge is one that survives in the mem-
ory after other facts of the Revolu-
tionary War have faded away, like 50
much of what is learned in the school
room. 1t is with this name that the
most painful sufferings, the deepest de-
spair and the greatest fortitude of the
old Continentals were associated. 1t
Was at Valley Forge that they left their
footprints in the snow, and in their
ragged regimentals endured heaven
alone knows what trials, patiently and
with an amazing faith in the ultimate
triumph OF right and Justice. To pre-
serve the site of the old camp would be
to promote the spirit of patriotism
which may save the land i'm many fu-
ture crisis.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.
capt. Cameron Completes his twenty
Second Year of Service

Today Capt. Cameron completes his
twenty-second year of continuous SER
vice with the life saving crew. In this
period of nearly quarter of a century
Capt. Cameron has never been absent
from the station q single day from
sickness or any other cause, and has
esta blished record for faithful and
fearless performance of duty of which
both he and the people of Kenosha are
Justly proud. By constant drill and
practice he has kept his crew in the
highest state of efficiency and the Ke-
nosha crew is considered by the in
spectirg officers to be the best in the
service on the lakes.
Capt. Cameron received his commits
sion as keeper Oct. Is, 1879, and dur
ing his years of service has saved hun
dreds of lives. Of the original crew
which was mustered into service in
the spring of 1880, only Lieut.. John
Mahaney still remains at the station.
A bill permitting the members of the
life saving service to retire on half pay
after twenty years of service was in
troduced in Congress at the last ses-
sion by Congressman Jones, of Vir-
ginia. Owing to the press of other
business the bill was not taken up, but
it is probable that it will receive favor
able consideration at the next session.

State Tax Commission Raises the
Valuation OF Kenosha Property
Over Nine Million Dollars.
is 1T A SLAP Ar STALWARTS?
Business Men of the County Find No Way
to Account For so Large an Increase
in the Valuation.

S'Stalwart" old Kenosha county is
evidently not on the inside of the
large, warm hearts of the tax commits
sioners of the great state of Wiscon-
sin, for with the issue of the report OF
State Secretary Froelich in regard to
the taxes to be raised for the year it is
shown that the commissioners have
sent values in Kenosha county flying
to a point unheard of in the entire
history of the county.
A year ago the commissioners con-
sidered the property in Kenosha coun-
ty subject to State tax worth So 900, 900
and the papers of the county clerk
show that the county board shaved
this estimate S5OOO0O, but without any
material increase in resources the COM
mission this year has seen a strange
and terrific raise on the books of the
KenOsha county property owners and
the valuation was at once boosted to
the amount of S18, 768, 1877 OF
course, this is only a little more than
double the valuation for last year and
the people of Kenosha will be pleased
to know that values are increasing SO
rapidly in Kenosha and Kenosha
county.
The why of this raise in this
county is not apparent. For several
years Kenosha county has been in the
eye of the tax commission and with
the need of funds the county has al
ways been forced to stand a raise in
proportion with the other counties but
the present increase is such as to war
rant a vigorous kick. It is true that
other counties have been raised, but
never in the history of any county,
unless it be Milwaukee county, has
nine millions of dollars been added to
the valuation of any county in single
year.
There is no doubt but that the prop
erty of Kenosha county people is fully
worth this amount, but it cannot be
said that the increase is a legitimate
one. The increase is fully eight mil
lions IN advance of the amount of
property listed by the assessors.
It is barely possible that the vast
increase is simply a slap at the stall
warts in this county who have been
active in the opposition to the LaFol-
1ette crowd and LaFollette methods.
The taxes as assessed on this valua-
ton will be $29, 5O4.O3 or more than
double the taxes for last year.

Dr.. Frank Edgar Andre, of Randolph,
United in Marriage to Miss Mary
Clara Frantz of This City.
TWO LEADING FAMILIES UNITED.
Ceremony is Pc formed by the Rev. Il. s
Roblee in the Presence of Few Rela-
tives Of the Contracting Parties

One of the notable weddings of the
year in Kenosha was the marriage of
| DR.. Frank Edgar Andre, of Randolph,
Wis, son of Mr.. and Mrs Henry
| Andre, of this city, to Miss Mary Clara
Frantz, the oldest daughter of Capt.
and Mrs. Charles Frantz, which was
celebrated at the home of the brides
parents scn Ashland avenue at seven
O'Clock Wednesday evening.
The wedding was an autumnal one
and the decorations of the house con-
formed with the season. In the center
of the large double parlors in which
the ceremony was celebrated had been
placed a beautiful arch of Madeira
vine, among the twigs of which had
been mingled a countless number of
pink roses. In other parts of the room
palms were banked and great bouquets
of pink roses lent their beauty and
perfume.
The wedding was very simple one,
the bride entering the par1or accom-
panied by her father. She was attired
in a becoming gown of castor nelrose
over castor taffeta, richly ornamented
with lace and jewels. Under the arch
the bride was met by the groom and
the Rev. Henry Scott Roblee, of the
First Congregations church, who per-
formed the ceremony according to the
ritual of the Episcopal church. The
bride was given away by her father.
After the wedding the guests were
invited to the dining room, where
wedding dinner was served. The din
ing room was done in red and white,
carnations of the different co1ors form
ing the basissof the decorations. Cow
ers were laid for thirty guests, only
the immediate relatives of the bride
and groom being present.
After the wedding dinner DR.. and
Mrs. Andre left on an evening train
for St. Paul, where they will spend
short honeymoon. They will make
their home at Randolph, Wis, and will
be at home ito their friends after No
vember 18th.
The young people are among the
best known in the city. The bride is
the oldest daughter of Postmaster
Frantz. She is cultured and beautiful
and has a large circle of friends in the
city. For eight years Miss Frantz
served as manager of the Post Office
Money Order department of the Keno
sha Post Office and her splendid work
in this department of the Post Office
made her we'll known to the entire
county.
This paper joins with many friends
in wishing for DR. and Mrs, Andre
long and happy married life.

EXPLOSION WRECKS STORE.
store of B. Hermann on milwaukee Ave-
nue., Damaged by Explosion.


An explosion of a gasoline lamp oc-
cured in the store occupied by B.
Hermann, on Milwaukee avenue,
shortly before six O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon which resulted in the front
part of the store being wrecked. The
lamp which exploded had been used
for furnishing light for the front part
of the store.
For half an hour before the exp1o-
sion occurred Miss Dagen bach, who is
employed in the store noticed the odor
of gas. She started tothe door to call
some one to look into the matter and
as the door was opened the explosion
occurred. The heavy plate glass win
dow in the front of the store was
broken by the force of the explosion
ard the entire front part of the store
was covered with broken glass. Con-
siderable damage was done to the
stock.
The fire department responded
promptly to the call but the flames
from the explosion had been extin-
guished before the department arrived.
The loss from the explosion will be
about two hundred dollars.
The report that Miss Dagenbach was
injured in the explosion is without
foundation.

Heirs of the Late Edward Balm viii
Beautifully Improve the Orchard
In the Third Ward.
WORK TO BE DONE NEXT SRRING.
Mrs. Balm, Mrs F. S. Newell, and Mrs. G. G..
the People of Third Ward.

The third wdro is to have a Park
second to none in the city. This an
nouncement was made last evening by
one of the leading property owners of
the ward after he had held long con-
ference with a representative of the
heirs of the late Edward Balm, who
stated that Mrs. Balm, Mrs. F. S. New
ell and Mrs. C. C. Hoyt had decided
that the. old Balm orchard should be
beautifully improved and given to the
city of Kenosha as fitting memorial
to the late Edward Balm. The property
owners had planned to improve the
park on small scale, but with the an
nouncement of the plan of the ladies,
the matter will be taken entirely out
Of the hands of the surrounding resi-
dents.
The detailed plans for the improve
ment of the park have not as yet been
fully completed, but it is announced
that the work will be started early in
the spring, and that the park will be
ready to open to the people by the mid
die of the summer. The orchard will
be plowed up and 1eveled at once, in
order that the Improvements may not
be delayed in the spring. AS soon as
possible in the spring, the park will be
graded and heavy curb placed all
around it. After the curb has been set
cement walks, wide and spacious, will
be built on all four sides of it, and
numerous cross walks will be put in.
The park will also be set out with trees
and a'pretty design has been made for
the arrangement of many flower beds.
It is reported that a number of the
old employees of the Balm factory will
seek an opportunity to erect some
mem orial to the memory Of Mr.. Balm,
in the center of the park. It has been
that this memorial be in the
way Of fountain, but as yet no def
mite plan for this work has been an
This Improvement of Balm Park on
so large a scale means much to the
people of the entire city, but especial
ly to the people of the third ward.
The old orchard of the third ward has
been a favorite spot for the
boys and girls, and with the new i'm
it will be even greater
favorite. The ladies who have made |
this generous offer to improve the
park deserve the thanks of the entire
city.
