Miss Elizabeth Walsh Of Louisville
Will Conduct 1.-THE Vac
cination.
SCHOOLS READY FOR OPENING

Miss Elizabeth Walsh of Louisville
will arrive in the city Saturday and
beginning Monday will conduct FIVE
days drill with the teachers Of the
primary department of the local
schools.
This as plan that Superintendent
Hatfield worked out to secure better
results in the primary department, and
he thinks that the schools will be adj
vanced at least one year by the drill.
Miss Walsh is a supervisor in the pub
lie schools at Louisville and under her
supervision the schools there have
undergone wonderful prog ress She
teaches the latest methods which have
been taught throughout the country,
and the pupils are handled easier and
to better advantage under her meth
cd. She will be assisted here by Su-
perintendent Hatfield and several of
the higher teachers. Superintendent
Hatfield has issued a call to all the
primary teachers for Monday, and
beginning with that day the drill
will be continued for five days, end.
ing Friday afternoon.
In regard to the vaccination Of
pupils Superintendent Hatfield stated
this morning that all pupils, in ao-
cordance with the law passed by the
board last year, will have to show
a good vaccination scar or will have to
be vaooinated before they can enter
into the schools. There has been
much trouble in the schools on &C.
count of this heretofore, aud the
board found 1t necessary to pass the
rule to save the teachers time and
also to prevent hitch in the studies,
as whenever a smallpox scare visited
the city the teachers would have to
spend sometimes two days in seeing
to the pupils in regard to proper
vaccination.
All the buildings are now in the
best of condition and the work ordered
by the board has all about been fin.
ished. The plumbers at the high
school will have steam up in the boiler
by the LIST of the mouth and the only
building whore the plumbing remains
Incomplete is the Jefferson building,
and this will be finished before the
opening of the schools.

coming back in August, and IL she did
not go with him then he would kill

On the day set for Greer to come

mother as they were returning from a
neighboring family. He came out Of

Chicago, August 26-Doubt as to
lthe identity Of the body buried as
Minnie Mitchell must for some time
complicste the mystery shrouding the
Bartholin- Mitchell murder case. For
the second time Judge Brentano today
refused to issue an order to exhume
the body of the woman, which was
found on August in the weeds of a
lonely field at Seventy fourth and
State streets. A plan was on foot to
have dentists who worked on the
young woman's teeth inspect those OF
the dead body to clear up the doubts
of identity, bat Robert Mitchell,
brother Of the supposed decedent, de-
clined to sign affidsvits necessary for
the exhumed. He said his family
was willing that the body be disin-
tered, but that although the only
means Of Identification they had were
articles of clothing fond near the dead
body, they were not willing to take the
iniative.

Some Timely Pointers From Lexing-
ton That Hold Good Here
Assessment Next Month Is for the
Succeeding Four Years in Second
Glass Cities.
ADVICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS

Paduoah is to have her first assess
ment under the second class charter
next month, and it will be for four
years. The assessment is as TO tine
value ON September 10, and tire new
tax levy must be made before JAnu-
airy /.
The Herald, of Lexington, also
second class city, has the following to
say of the assessment there;
"Owners Of real estate in the city
of Lexington caunot be too often, nor
too earnestly reminded that the as
sessment Of their property which will
be made September 10 next, will
stand as the assessment for four years
IL behooves every owner to leave
nothing to guess work and to relieve
the assessor Of the necessity Of putting
n valuation upon property. The law
requires him to do this to the best Of
his knowledge and AGILITY, where the
owner fails to refuses to give in his
list.
There will be no copying Of old as
sessments, and the man who says to
himself that he has the same property
this year that he hat last year, and
the assessor may just copy that list,
will be disappointed, for it will not
be copied The valuations will be
made independently of any heretofore
made. There will be an actual iuspec.
tion Of every piece of real estate, and
IL the owner will not assist the asses.
sor by bringing his list to him, with
the owners valuation Of each piece,
that valuation will be made without
his assistance.
Some people may rely upon the
board Of equalization rectifying any
mistakes Of excessive valuation made
by the assessor. In this they will be
disappointed. The board may in
crease valuations, but has no power
TO reduce them, and this supervisory |
power can only be exercised in four
years, unless In the meantime the |
property has Undergone change,
either by the destruction of improve
ments worth more than hundred |
dollars, or the addition Of improve
ments Of equal value. What property
owners should do is to begin at once to
take their lists to the city assessor.
He is not obliged to go for them.
That is a matter Of which is liable to
be overlooked. IL is not a Part of the
duty of the assessor to hunt up the
owner and inquire of him his opinion
as to what assessment should be set
down against him.
The charter recites, when an as.
sessment has been made against a
person who has had an actual notice |
to appear and list his property, or
make statements thereof, ald fails to
do so, the same shall not be decreased
but many are increased by the board |
of equalization. II any person refuses
to attend when summoned or refuse
to be sworn to answer, or refuse to
answer any questions propounded to
him by the assessor or his deputy
. the assessor or his deputy may
ask the police judge to issue warrant
against such person" The fine for
refusing to attend when summoned,
or for refusing to answer proper ques-
tions, is $40. A policeman will be
detailed to serve the summons upon
property owners, so that they shall
have proper notice.
"As to the assessment of personal
ity, the law will be enforced. Here
