Annual Tax.
EXPRESS COMPANIES ALSO PAY MORT
Car Leaning Concerns Included for
First Time and Mulcted I'm Nearly
Fifty Thousand as Com
mencement.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 1S.-Railroads and
express companies, which have heretofore
paid a specific tax In Michigan, will next
year pay under the ad valorem system. The
assessment of these properties was made
public by the State Tax commission tonight.
The aggregate assessment OF all railroads
In the state is SOS. 212, 500. The commits
sion determined the average rate Of taxa
ton in the state to be $13.69 per 81, 900 OF
assessed valuation. The railroads will,
therefore, next year pay 81, $50, 231 in taxes.
This is an increase Of 81, 1866, 324 over this
year.
This does not include eleven small lines,
concerning which the commission has been
as yet unable to obtain desired informa-
ton, and these companies will, It is ex-
pected, increase the total assessment by

express companies 50, $40, 900, and their tax
will aggregate s31, 62S, or s1,415 more than
last year.
Heretofore car loaping companies have
paid practically no taxes in Michigan. Now,
however, the commission has assessed ITO
of these companies sS,4o7, 639, so that they
will have TO pay s46,639.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL


Few People Know How Useful "a f. in
PRESERVING Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efhcient disinfectant
and purifier in nature. but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take Of Il the better; II is not a drug AZ all.
but simply absorbs the gases and impuri-
ties always present in the stomach and In
testines and carries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing and drink ng OF after eating onions and

Charcoal ~efeetually clears and improves
the complexion, II whitsns the teeth and
further acts rs a natural and eminently

II absorbs the injurious gases which col

feets the mouth and throat from the 20 son

All druggists sell charcoal in bns form or

the most for the money is stuRrt's Alb

today definitely adopted the rule barring

the regatta the crew shall have been
coached during any practice in rowing, or
controlled, or directed in their training by

While the resolution does not specifically
bar foreign crews, IL is generally regarded
as practically shutting out visitors, as 1t

COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.
An Interesting Session Held at Pleasant
Prairie Saturday, May 3rd.

An Interesting Session Held at Pleasant
Prairie Saturday, MAY 3rd.
An interesting and highly profitable
session of the teachers of Kenosha
county was held at Pleasant Prairie
Saturday afternoon, May 3rd.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after one O'Clock by President
Miss Lulu Rowbottom, and opened
with the first number on the program.
This was an exercise in Middle form
reading, conducted by Miss 'Row bot
tom, of Bristol. The subject was
clearly presented and developed many
valuable points on the phonic method,
expressions, etc.
Miss Mae Frisbie was called upon to
outline the proper method of teaching
measurements" in arithmetic. In
her presentation of the subject Miss
Frisbie held the close attention of those
present. and drew out a lively discus
sion. This exercise proved one Of the
most valuable on the program.
Prof. F. GOWN. of the Pleasant
Prairie school, handled the subject of
Upper Form language IN manner
that convinced all present of his
ability to teach this important branch
by an up-to-date method. Mr.. Gown
had carefully prepared language ex-
ercise in which he used the teachers as
class. He urged the necessity of
having some proper form as guide in
the correction OF grammatical errors.
The plan, as outlined, was generally
conceded to be satisfactory one.
The topic Current Events was
presented by Conrad Shearer. A sum-
mary of the weeks news, relating to
County, State and Nation was con-
sidered. The advisability of conduct
ing regular weekly exercise under
the head of "News Items" ELECTED
some discussion.
Supt. George Taylor addressed the
meeting on the subject of General
Exercises" He strongly urged the
teachers to observe Arbor and Memo
rial days, and to file complete reports
of the years work. In following this
advice the teachers will do their duty,
not only to their district boards and
successors, but to the County Superin-
tendent, who is obliged to forward
such reports to the State Superinten-
dent. The regular Teachers Insti-
tute, Mr.. Taylor announced, is to be
held at Kenosha in July, and will be
in charge of some of the best conduc-
tors of the State.
| Following is the list of members in
attendance: Misses Rowbottom, Muir.

THE news that the President will in
the near future tender the appointment
as Consul General at Havana to Gen
eral Edward S. Bragg, of Fond du Lac,
will be received with rejoicing through
out the whole State. The Commander
of the Iron Brigade hassalways held a
high place in the affection and esteem
of the people of Wisconsin. A man
better qualified to handle the difficult
questions which will confront the first
to hold the office of Consul General
under the first administration of the
Cuban republic could not have been
selected. He is an eminent lawyer
and has had experience in the diplo-
matte service while serving as United
States Minister to Mexico. On ac-
count of his advanced age-the Gen
eral is seventy-fve years old-he may
not think that he can accept the ap-
poiu tment, but if his strength is equal
to the task he is fully qualified in
every other way to perform the exact
ing duties of the position.
