The Ministerial lnqDiry .

Probably it was "a midsummer di-
version on the part of the reverend
members of the Cincinnati Pr, shy
terv which led hem to discuss that
very delicate topic-the kind of a
woman a minister should marry.
with rare discretion the good
brethren allotted the discussion to
the two unmarried members of the
presbytery, and declined to state
whether experience in venturing
the marital lottery had enlightened
them, or bad only further perplex
ed them. If one knew whether Ia
take the ministers seriously in this
discussion of so worldly a topic
there might be less dang of Civ
ing oflense through irrelevancy, or
laying oneself open to the charge

ministers seriously-for they are
serious men, though some of them
are prone to crack joke-is there
any reason why minister's wife
should be different from any other
mans wife? There may he causes
which necessitate an entirely origi-
nal type of femininity for the help
mate OF minister, but the lay
mind, not being so keen and pene-
trating as the clerical, has probably
failed to perceive them. The Sc
lection of a wife for a minister is a
weiQhty matter, bat not more So
than for The ordinary mortal who
walks with his feet on the ground.
In either event it marks an epnr
in human life. In either event il
is an effort on the masculine side
to realize his ideals. In any event,
if the unmarried members of the
Cincinnati Presbytery are in doubt
as to the kind of woman to select
for wife the advice is rendered tC
them not to consult their fellows
but the female members of the
flock. Such a thing has beer
known as the congregation select
ing a wife for the minister-indeed
it has been limited that this is on,

Cocoaine Habit.

An ordinance has been introduc-

and morphine by the drugstOres,
except on specific prescriptions and
then only in cases of actual sick

assumed such proportions as to re-

In all our large cities there are
thousands of boys and girls who
never hear the name of God, eX-
cept when it is mingled with
coarse, angry words. If they
ever become Christians, it will be
by. some one going to where they
are, or going after them and tell
ing them about Christ. One great
field for mission work is in our
large cities. We must have money
not only to send teachers and
preachers to teach the neglected
ones, but to see that they have
food and clothes.

Wisconsin Tax Commission Decided
That the Taxes For Ken0sha
County Must Be Paid
WILL HEAR THE PEOPLES SIDE.
People of the County May Enter Protest
rTen Days Before the Assessment
Is Made.

Taxes in Kenosha county are to be
boosted and the State tax omn1ission
has kindly notified the county clerk
that Kenosha is one of the counties IN
the State in which the amount of
property valuations is being investi-
gated. The letter from the commits
sion will be of great interest to many
people in Kenosha and it is given in
full. Mr.. ellison says:
Wisconsin State Tax Commission
Madison, August 2, 1oO1-Dear Sir
The investigation of this commission
into the value of the property in the
various counties of the State tends to
show that the assessment of kenosha
county should be materially increased
over the valuations made by the State
Board of Assessment for 1900.
Before arriving at final determina-
ton in the matter, we will hear the
representatives of your county, if the
same is desired. Please inform the
Chairman of the County Board and let
us know whether you wish to be heard.
The State assessment must be fin
ished on or before the first day of Sep
tember, and it is necessary that all
hearings shall be concluded at least
ten days before such date TO give time
to the final consideration of the valu-
alton of the property in all the coun-
ties. 1t is therefore apparent that as
early time as possible should be fixed
for the hearing in behalf of Kenosha
County. Respectfully,
W. S. gibson,
Commissioned of Taxation and Chair
man State Board of Assessment.
Of course the people of the county
will make a lively protest against the
raising of the assessment. At the
last assessment the amount demanded
from Kenosha county was SO, 217.60
and this was thought to be fair APP
portionment. Other counties in the
State will also be raised, but KenOsha
will undoubtedly receive larger raise
than some of the counties as the COM
missioners have for some time been
investigating the property values in
this city with the intention of making
a raise. The proposed raise will of
course cause howl of protest. The
increase will probably be small and not
to exceed five thousand dollars.

City Assessor Henry Biennemann Returns to
the City Clerk the Results of His Inves-
tigation as to Taxable Property.
Total Amount Personal Property the City Found S4O6478
Over s363592 as Valued Last YearTOta Amount
in the City Placed at S14264 Which is Also an Increase
List of Heaviest Taxpayers.

City Assessor Henry Biennemann
on Monday filed with the city clerk
the list of assessments against Keno
sha city property for the year, and the
tax role is now being made out for
next year.
The report of the assessor has many
facts of vital interest to the people of
the city, and it shows that while the
wealth of the city has not materially
as valued has increased more than
100000. For years Kenosha has
had a valuation of personal property
under $4,000, but the assessor has
placed the city within the 100000
class this year, and the return of
the official shows that the amount of
personal property owned in the city
at the present time is $406, 478.11.
The amount returned last year was
only 1868, 592. Whether this increase
is due to the itching of the conscience
of some of the taxpayers or to the Wig
lance of the assessor others must an
swer. However it can be said for the
the assessor that he has made healthy
growth and great praise is due to him.
Of course no one will suspect that this
represents the actual value of the per-
sona1 property of the city, but it is
certainly a much better estimate than
has been made in past years.
The report of the Assessor in regard
to the realty values in the city shows a
total assessed value of real estate
amounting to 81, 425,411- This is dis
tributed in the different wards as fol-
lows:

WILLIAM O'HARE KILLED.
Kenosha Man Dies in Chicago as a Result
of Injuries In a Railway Accident.

William O'Hare, of this city, died at
the County hospital in Chicago last
Saturday afternoon, as the result OF
injuries received on Thursday, when
he was struck by train on one of the
Chicago roads. He left Kenosha sew
er91 days ago, and had gone to Chica-
go searching for work. The first news
of his in juries was received in this city
Saturday evening, when his death was
announced.
O'Hare had resided in Kenosha for
the past year and a half, having come
here from Montreal, Canada. He was
a landscape gardener by profession,
and for some time was employed at the
green house of w. H. Drake.
After the man left the employ of
Mr.. Drake he was engaged at the Pen
mover Sanitarium, and was in charge
of the lawns at the big health resort.
It is probab1 that the remains will be
buried in Chicago, as it is not thought
that O'Hare had any relatives in this
country.
The deceased was popular among
the people in Kenosha and we'll liked
by the people with whom he had been
employed, and his death will cause
considerab1 sorrow in this city.

AS in other years it will be seen that
the First ward is easily the leader in
the matter of real estate valuations,
while the Third ward is a close Sec
ond. The valuations in nearly every
ward have been raised a small amount
so as to largely increase the total
amount. Returns of personal prop
erty are always interesting and the
report on this line shows many funny
things. There seems to be a dearth of
anything of value in the city and many
people who had been supposed to be
we'll fixed in this worlds goods are not
even mentioned while the assessments
of personal property of many people is
sufficient to make the proverbia1 dog
laugh. The board of review should
have little trouble in raising many as
sessments in the city on personal prop
erty. There is dearth of horses and
carriages in the city and none SEIZED
u1ed are valued at over hundred dol
lars while many of the handsomest
equipages of Kenosha's four hundred
are drawn by horses so worthless that
they are not worthy place on the tax
roles.
The report shows that Kenosha peo-
pie hold only few shares of stocks
and bonds or that they were all so we'll
hidden that the assessor failed to cast
his eagle eye upon them. Bicycles
and pianos have been cast into the
rubbish pile before the arrival of the
assessor a nd the total taxes received
on these things will be exceedingly
small.
Ruinous values have been placed on
all sorts of property and in many cases
it is found that the largest holders are
the smallest payers. Stocks of mer-
chants on Main street are at discount
and not a single one is returned to the
extent of five thousands, while only
one approaches this amount. Kenosha
has Just $50, 900 worth of bank stock.
Kenosha's homes are certainly lily
furnished, as only few private indi-
viduals are assessed as owning any
thing, the great bulk of the personal
property taxes being paid by few
people. Of course there are glaring
exceptions to this rule, and some peo-
pie who are practically unknown are
found to be paying taxes far in excess
of some of the leading men.
The members Of the City Council |
are evidently rot sufficiently inter

TO SUE FOR ALIMoNY.
Lucius Il. Grover Located in Canada and
an Effort Will Be Made to Get Alimony.


BY strange good fortune the
whereabouts of Lucius H Grover, who
was recently the defendant in sensa-
tiona1 divorce case in this city, have
been discovered and he is known to be
in Montreal, Canada. On this account
it is probable that Mr.. Grover will
again be the defendant in a suit as
Attorney Buckmaster announced this
morning that he was planning to bring
suit against Grover to collect attor
ney's fees and alimony due his former
wife. In leaving the country it seems
that Grover left behind all desires to
pay the stipend to his former wife, but
he did not get far enough away to
avoid the min1ons Of the law.
At the time of the granting of the di-
vorce Grover was ordered to pay his
wife and children the sum of $40 a
month and while he rem aimed in this
city the amount was paid punctual1y.
The attorneys fees which were as
sessed against him by the judge were
also partially paid, but since Grover
left no money has been received and
the accummu1ate ted amount now due
amounts to over two hundred dollars.
It is probab that an effort will be
made to have the a1imony reduced to
lump sum and Grover will be sued for
the entire amount. Grover is said to
have an excellent position in his new
home and it is probable that he will
make some settlement of the case.

JOHN sCHMITz PARALYzED.
Aged Resident of the North Side Receives
Stroke of Paralysis.

John Schmitz, one of the oldest and
best known residents of the city, is
exceedingly i'll at his home at the cor
ner of North Chicago and Orange
streets as the result of stroke of par
a1ysis sustained about three o'clock
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Schmitz had
been in the best of health during the
day, but in the afternoon he was
seized with strange twitching in the
muscles of his throat and they became
almost useless. Mr.. Schmitz is now
nearly eighty years of age and for this
reason it is feared that the stroke will
be very serious one. He is confined
to his bed and there is no material
change in his condition today. Thus
far the muscles of the throat are the
only portion of the body affected, but
it is feared that the trouble will
spread to other parts of the body.

FIRST LACE AT ZION.

'.~st Bolt of Finished Lace Turned Out on
Mondav-To be Used by Mrs. Dowle.
The first bolt of lace completed in
the Zion lace works was placed in
John Alex. Dowie's hands, Monday,
and will be used IN d dress for Mrs.
Dowie. There are about fourteen
yards in the piece which is of excel
lent pattern, designed at the city. Two
of the lace making machines are in
operation and running eXcellently.
The lace referred to is the first to be
turned out from the factory save the
small handkerchiefs which have been
in stock for some days. The process
of making 1aces is intricate and inter
esting. To one uninitiated the ma
chimes are mass of complicated ma
chinery, but so finely are they ad justed
that the breaking of a single thread,
and about 10 in size is used, will stop
the machine.
Work in Zion City has begun in good
earnest. Burton ]. Ashley, the chief
engineer of the Dowie enterprise, has
Just completed plans for big bleach

featuring plant which is to be con-
structed. The building will be one
story structure with 600x60 feet ground
dimensions, for the most part of brick.
It is to be completed by next fall.
Work on forty houses is now under
way by members of Zion church, and
the mechanical part of the factory will
also be constructed by members Of the
Dowie congregation.
Building has been delayed by non
arrival of the machinery for the brick
making plant. The boilers arrived
Monday and will be set up at once.

FILE THEIR REPORT.
Northwestern Railway Company Pays
High For the Use of Streets.


George A. Yule, ]. H. Charles and
G. A. Dewey, the commissioners ap-
pointed by the Circuit court to assess
damages in the condemnation pro-
ceedipgs brought by the Northwestern
Railway company to secure the right
of way for a spur track on Pine street,
filed their report with the clerk of the
Circuit court Saturday and the report
shows that for the use of the street the
company will be forced to pay in dam
ages the sum of 81 ,O62.5O. Of this
amount August Otto will receive the
sum of $3.50, while the remaining
$3.50 will be paid Peter ellis.
The spur track will be an expensive
one as the company has already paid
out more than $4,000 in condemnation
proceedings, while larger amount by
many dollars has been spent in the
actual purchase of the property to be
used for the new ira ok.
With the settlement of these pro
ceedings the line can probably be built
as no new proceedings have been
started. The material for the con-
struction of the line has been pur-
chased and it is the plan of the COM
pany to complete it by the early fall.
Mr.. ellis has announced that the
award is not satisfactory to him and
that the case will be appealed to the
circuit court.
