New York, June i.-There has been no
material change in the market SO far
the home trade is concerned. The ex-
port demand for heavy brown cottons is
fair and readily met. The general tone is
without alteration and no change in prices
in any direction can be noted today. Print
cloths continue inactive at previous
prices. Hosiery and underwear in light
request and easy to buy.

New York June 4.-Near month shorts
in all speculative markets met with sharp
reverses today and were very uneasy at
he close, fearing a possible repetition of
the upward movement again tomorrow
Liverpool was the first to show strength
in July and August, prices advanced rap
idly on heavy general buying led by
shorts, started by reports that the big
shipments from the South to New York
for delivery on contract meant reduced
shipments from the South to Europe and
a consequent decrease in the European
visible supply during the next four weeks
or more. The local market opened steady
with prices unchanged to one point higher,
despite the bullish news from abroad.
The Indifference of the local trade shortly
gave way to a bear scare and investment
buying, chiefly summer months, on which
prices quickly shot up six to eleven points
with August in the lead For the rest
of the session, the market displayed
marked steadiness and was peculiarly
sensitive to buying from any quarter
Shorts continued to cover on any signs
of decline and Wall Street bought the
late months on bad crop news. The weekly
government crop report was quite the
worst ever received ct this season of the
year and did much to hold the market
steady Heavy receipts had been antici-
pated and played an unimportant part as
an influence. a forecast for warmer and
clear weather over the entire belt tonight
ard tomorrow checked new buying in the
afternoon but did not weaken prices. The
New Orleans market contributed TO The
strength here by sending important buy
ing orders. Liverpool bought freely around
the opening and near the close. Trading,
while moro active than yesterday, was
comparatively quiet after the first burst
of buying The close was steady with
prices one to seven points higher.

NeIs P. Haugen, of Madison, Comes
to Take a Hand in the Assess
ment Contest in County Board
INTRUSION BY STATE OFFICIAL
Board Does Not Raise the Assessment to
ANY Alarming acknowledgements
Visit is Fruitless.

The Hon. Ne1s P. Haugen of Mad1-
son, a member of the State Tax com
mission and a top-notcher politician in
state politics, came to KenOsha this
morning to take hand in the hight
between the country and city members
of the county board in regard to the
annual assessment of taxes. The APP
pearance of Mr.. Haugen came as sur
prise to many of the members OF the
board, as the official had not been re-
quested to come by them, and when he
arrived it was learned that he had come
at the request of Supervisor McKesson
of the town of Randall.
It was simply a case of royal bluff on
the part of the country members of the
board to force the hand Of the city
members by the Interpolation of an
outside influence. The visit of the
commissioner was regarded as an in
trusion by many of the city members,
and ahis talk did little good toward
bringing about any change in the
deadlock. The commissioner who was
so instrumental in fixing the taxes of
this county made quite lengthy
speech to the board, in which he said a
number of things of interest in con-
nection with the tax problem.
The commissioner showed how the
valuations had been made on the re-
port of the sales of real estate and how
the amounts had been raised on per-
sona1 property in proportion. He cid
not, however, show how the county of
Kenosha had been forced to pay a
state tax of % of a per cent. tax more
this year while in Racine and Milwau-
kee there had been a reduction of the
state tax paid.
The speech of the commissioner had
little to do with the final settlement of
the tax question and the compromise
which was arrived at later had already
been proposed before his arrival.
Interesting as matter of record is
the report of the State tax commission
in regard to the value of reality and
personal as shown by Mr.. Haugen.
! It is as follows:

THURSDAY, NOV. %, 1901.

A PEDDLER who spent last week IN
Kenosha, in talking with reporter OF
this paper, remarked that his business
had been more than good and that the
neon1e were "easy." The man was
entirely right when he stated that MS
patrons were easy. The average ped
d1er is simply a fakir who depends on
his own persuasive powers to sell his
, goods rather than on the merits or the
Goods themselves. Every dollar the
oedd1er takes out with him is just so
much money lost to the city
The local business man sells you re-
liable goods and charges only tar
nrofit on each transaction He makes
every effort to treat you with liberal1ty
and fairness, for in order to prosper ne
must retain your custom. His inter-
ests are YOUR own and in the long run
any prosperity enjoyed by the local
business man rebounds to the advan-
tage of his customers. Every dollar
Won spend with him remains right
here in Kenosha, and in nine cases out
of ten goes right back into his bus1-
ness. Enjoying a good trade, he is
enabled to increase his stock of mer-
Chandise, giving you greater variety
to select from, and he can afford to
sell his goods at smaller profit. The
local merchant pays his full share OF
the taxes. subscribes literally to all
charities, and any movement to build
ND the city finds in him an ardent sup
porter.
What interest has the pedd1er in the
prosperity of Our city? None at all.
He is never coming back. Some of
the people he skinned on his last visit
might make things unpleasant for him
if he did. Before you let the next ped
d1er persuade you into buying some of
his trash, ask yourself a few ques-
tions. Will the pedd1er pay his share
towards the school fund? Will he pay
any of the State, county or city taxes?
Will he carry you on his books when
YOU are thrown out of work until you
get started again? When you are sick,
can your wife go to him and get any
thing the family needs until you get
on your feet again? Will he help sup
port the churches? Will he do every
thing possible to promote the best in
terests of this city and labor early and
late, in season and out of season, to
accelerate its growth and increase its
prosperity? The local business man
does all this and much more, and he is
certainly entitled to some considera-
ton.

VIM. Ubelaker, President Of the Lake
View Lodge of Foresters, writes from
1897 North Clark ST., Chicago, Ill, the
following letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Condemnation years past when l
have been exposed to wet or inclement
weather, my chest would hurt me and I
would have serious indigestion, and I
would be laid up for day or two, caus-
ing Inconvenience and pain.
One of my lodge friends advised me
to try Peruna, as it had helped him, and
I found that bottle cured me.
If I feel badly now at once take two
or three doses, and I find it keeps me in
fine health. Peruna is worthy Of every
ones confidence.-WM.U BELAKER.
It is only just ordinary good, common
sense to provide against inclement
weather, If you have the slightest cold,
cough, sneezing, or any other indication
that you are ''under the weather." few
doses of Peruna will put you right.

ESCAPE IN A YAWL.
Kenosha Men Have Marrow Escape From
shipwreck Near Glen Island Mich

The little schooner "Ca1ed onia,
owned by Captain Hans Petersen, was
wrecked off Glen Island, Mich, yester-
day afternoon, and at the last reports
the little vessel was doomed to sink to
the bottom of the lake. The boat had
been hai1ing from Racine and had been
sailed to Michigan for load of Christ
mas trees. Yesterday morning the
boat was stranded on shoal near the
Michigan port, but several miles from
the harbor line. With a heavy cargo
of Christmas trees and slabs the vessel
was ra pidly sinking, when Capt. Peter
sen and Michael Stacy, both of this
city, who were in charge of the
schooner, left the sinking vessel in a
Yaw1 boat and started for the beach.
There was a terrific sea on and the
men were forced to cling to the little
boat to avoid being washed into the
waves. They kept up this unequal
fight for several hours, when the
schooner Burton of Milwaukee was
sighted off the yaw1 boat, and the men
managed to make their distress call
heard and were hauled into the
schooner, almost dead from cold and
exhaustion.
They were taken to the port at Glen
Island and are being cared for. The
loss will be almost a total one as it is
not thought possible to save the vessel
or any part of the cargo.

EKid'' Howard Show at Rhode Opera
House Fails to Prove Success
and Purses Are Not Ready.
BUT TWO BOUTS ARE PULLED OFF
Management Could Not Raise the Purse
For Fight Between o'Grady and kid"
Abe1.-McNamara Knocks Out Rose.

The boxing game in Kenosha is
dead as the show at the opera house
Tuesday evening under the manage
ment of "Kid'' Howard failed to draw
sufficient crowd to provide money for
the purses and the principal mill of the
evening, ten-round go between Jack
| O'Grady, of Montreal, and "Kid"
Abel, of Chicago, was indefinitely post
poned on account of the fact that there
was not money enough in the house to
put up the purse.
It was claimed by the management
that it would have been impossible for
| the men to have gone ten rounds under
any circumstances, as the Governor of
the State had notified the local officers
that six rounds was the limit for box
| ing in Wisconsin and that the bouts
would be stopped in all parts of the
State if the Kenosha boxers over
stepped the limit. When Howard an
nounced that the big fight was off the
crowd took the matter very philosophy
ca11y and no one made a dramatic de-
mand for his money back, but the
crowd seemed to have taken liking to
Howard and sympathized with him in
his loss and let the matter pass. How
ard went right on with his show and
gave the people a number of lively
bouts and settos inwhich all the men
who had been scheduled to appear IN
the battles appeared.
The first go was between "Kid"
Farmer, of Chicago, and Packie Ly-
den. This was first class go and the
two little fellows kept the crowd ap-
p1auding all the time. Joe Percente,
who refereed the bout, gave draw de-
cision at the close of the battle.
Farmer had a little better of the early
rounds of the contest, knocking Lyden
down several times, but toward the
close of the bout Lyden made up for
lost time and repeatedly drove his more
husky opponent to the ropes.
After the Lyden-Farmer go the spar
ring matches began and for the next
| hour a number of clever exhibitions
| held the boards. Jack O'Grady, the
Canadian feather weight champion,
spared for three rounds with his spar
ring partner, Mike Wa1sch. This was
followed by three pretty rounds be-
tween ''Kid'' Abel and Ole O1esen, of
Chicago, and the last setto was be-
tween "Kid" VanWie and Jack K1opf,
Of this city.
Then came the wind-up, which was
one of the fastest bouts ever seen in
Kenosha. Willie Mcnamara, of the
feather weight class, was pitted
against Jack Rose, of Yonkers, New
. York. The Yonkers boy started in
with a swing which threatened to carry
his little opponent off his feet, but at
the end IF the fourth round the little
man had done all the fighting and Rose
was only saved by the gong. Early in
the fifth round Rose was clearly out
| and the referee stopped the fight,
awarding the decision to Mcnamara.
This is probably the end of boxing
| in Kenosha for another year.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT again gave
evidence of his determin alton to select
the best men available for the higher
positions in the army when he ap-
pointed Capt. Vim. Crozier Chief of
Ordnance. Cap Crozier is a man of
great ability and is especially we'll
qualified for the place given him. In
the opinion of both the President and
of Secretary of War Root, he can do
better work than any of his seniors in
tdat branch of the service. He was
accordingly appointed in spite of the
protests and political pull of some
twenty officers who are his seniors in
length of service. Under the old or
der of things, when promotion went
by seniority alone, and ability counted
for nothing, if an officer but lived
long enough he was sure to reach the
higher grades of the service.
In spite of the protests of the army
officers, the time seems to have come
when an officer must have at least or
binary ability and make some effort to
keep up with the improvements in his
profession in order to obtain promo
ton.

DEWEY DID TT.
Supervisor From the Fourth Ward Votes
to Raise the Assessment of Kenosha.

The deadlock in the county board has
been broken, for just before noon to-
day the county board decided on a
plan for the valuation of the property
in the city. The valuation in all the
country towns will be fixed at the same
as last year, and an increase of twelve
per cent will be added to the valuation
of the city. This plan for valuation
received the sanction Iof the eight
country members and Supervisor
Dewey of the city.
The people of both city and country
will be pleased to know that the matter
has been settled, and while the raise of
the city is not an enormous one the
countrysmembers seem to be intensely
tick1ed atsstheir victory.
