PROTEST is WITHDRAWN.

Supervisor of Assessments Harrison With
draws Protest to Personal Assessment
Supervisor of Assessments William
HI. Harrison last Saturday afternoon
withdrew the protest which he had
made against the valua ton of the per-
sonal property of the leading tax pay
ers of the city, and the assessments as
returned by the Assessor will stand
for the year.
The evidence produced before the
Board of Review failed to give any
cause for any large increase in the as
sessment, and for this reason the mat
ter was dropped for the present at
least. The Supervisor is comparing
the assessment of this county with
that of other counties, and it appears
that Kenosha county is very much
higher than some of the others in the
State, and there is quite decided pro-
test from many of the taxpayers.
The assessment roll is now ready to
be turned over to the County Clerk,
and the Board of Review will have
little more to do with it.

Poles and Wires Arrive for the Building OF
the new Telephone System In the City.
There will be no further delay in the
building of the lines of the Citizens
Telephone Company in Kenosha. The
fixtures and wires for the lines are all
now in the city. Eight carloads of
poles have also arrived and are being
unloaded today. The underground
work in the business portion of the
city will be completed before the end
of the week and at that time the work.
men will start the stretching of the
overhead wires and this will be com
pleted in another month. The ex-
change is now being fitted up and it
will be in readiness for the reception
of the switchboard by the time the out
side work is completed.
It is now the intention of the COM
pany 10 have all the outside work done
before snow flies and it is thought that
the force now employed will be able to
install the instruments in the various
houses by the middle of January.
There is no doubt but that the ex-
change will be opened for business be-
fore the time specified in the contract
with the city.

ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
School Commissioners Bohle Announces
That He Will Sue the City.

SCuOOl COmmlSSAOn0r bOnl0 Announces
That He Will Sue the City.
F. w. Bohle, school commissioners
from the Fifth ward, through his at.
torney, Norman L. Baker, has served
a notice on the mayor, city clerk and
Common Council that he will demand
satisfaction from the city on account
of injuries received from falling on a
defective sidewalk on last Friday
evening.
Mr.. Bohle had started from his home
to attend committee meeting of the
Board Of Education and while walking
along Second street he tripped and fell
on the sidewalk and sustained severe
bruises about the head and face and
other parts of his body. He has been
laid up in bed ever since and will prob
ably be laid up for several weeks
more. The Council referred the matter
to the committee on Judiciary.
This is the first Of the demands for
damages for defective sidewalks but
with the winter coming on it is proba-
able that many other demands will be
received.

ON THE WARPATH.
State Factory Inspector Backus Is Now
After Clergymen.

state Factory Inspector Backus Is Now
After Clergymen.
State Factory Inspector A. C. Back
as is now on the warpath after the
clergymen who, he says, have been
charging for bsptismal certificates, a
necessary preliminary to the grant of
child labor permits. In one instance,
he declares, this charge amounted to
$3.50, while the whole purpose of the
new law has been to furnish certifi-
Gates free.
It is an outrage; it is almost GRIM
inal, was the inspector sharp de-
nunciation at Milwaukee last night of
this practice. Sometime ago several
cases came to my notice where min
listers and priests had charged Is
cents for these certificates, bat l said
nothing about it. The other day wo-
man told me she had paid a clergy
man $3.50 for certificate and think
it is time this practice is stopped.
OF course, can do nothing against it.
but shall see the clergymen who nave
done this, and think that when
explain the purpose of the statute that
they will be willing to cooperate. If
not, the publication of their names
will put an end to it. The publication
of the fact that county judges were
illegally charging for permits has put
stop to that practice.
"Of course, there are only few who
do this. Almost every day some priest
or minister calls on me to offer his
cooperation in the enforcement of the
law. It certainly is wrong to charge
anything for these certificates. When
children under 10 years of age have to
work, it is usually because their par
ents need The money they can earn,
and they should not be charged for the
privilege"

NEW MILEAGE BOOK.
Efforts of Travellers Protective Association
Crowned With Success.

Efforts OF Travellers Protective Association
Crowned With Success.
Through the efforts of the Travellers
Protective Association of America
travelling men have been granted an
interchangeable mileage book of 1000
mills, good over nearly all the lines in
the Western Passenger association.
In bringing about this concession. A.
H. Richardson, chairman of the rail-
road committee Of the Wisconsin divi-
sion of the Travellers Protective asso-
citation has been largely instrumen-
tai and has devoted much time to send
ing out literature explaining the new
system to the mem bers and to travel
ing men generally.
The new mileage book is the most
per- ct that has been devised, as it pro-
tects the road carrying the passenger
against loss and is much more salts
factory to the user than older styles.
It is good for 1000 miles and is sold for
500. with a rebate of $40 so. By a sys-
tenn of tabs, the mileage used is identi-
fed with the name of the owner and
the objection that short pieces of mile
age were often lost by the conductor
is overcome. 1t is believed the ticket
will be sold cheaper, at the expiration
of the present agreement, bur the
travelling men are we'll satisfied with
the price for the present.

LAST FIGHT IN KENosHA.
william E. GODDARD Dies Suddenly at the
Office OF CHM and Co. in Chicago.

william e. GODDARD Dies Suddenly at the
Office OF CHM and Co. In Chicago.
William e. GODDARD, the well known
Agent for CHM and Company, known
to every School teacher in Kenosha
dropped dead Saturday in the Office Of
his employers in Chicago. The an
nouncement of the sudden death of
Mr.. GODDARD will cause great regret
among the people connected with the
various educational interests of Keno
sha.
Mr.. GODDARD had just returned from
a trip through Wisconsin and Iowa,
and went to the Stratford hotel, where
he always stayed when in the city.
He complained to Clerk Chaplin that
he was tired and did not feel we'll.
"There have been two sudden deaths
in the hotel the last week. said the
clerk, "and there is going to be an
other one. A little girl died suddenly
of cerebro spinal meningitis, and a
man died from the result of an opera
ton for appendicitis. No doubt, there
will be third death soon."
Mr.. GODDARD laughed at the clerk,
and told him that he was superstitious.
He walked away from the desk, went
down to the Office of his company and
dropped dead.
Mr.. GODDARD was we'll known in the
book trade and had been in the employ
of CHM and Co. for years. His home
was at Freeport, Ill.
William E. GODDARD and Sam B.
Todd were the veteran book sales
men in Wisconsin and GODDARD made
the last fight in Kenosha during the
week just passed.
He had been in Kenosha fighting
to place the CHM and Co. Music books
in the schools and when he left
here last Thursday night he had COM
planned of being ill.
It is supposed that this was the be-
ginning of his fatal illness.
The remains were inferred at Free
port, I'll. today.

ONE CASE DISMISSED.

Edward Hays Charged With Assaulting
John Schmitz is Discharged.
One of the cases connected with the
tarring of John Schmitz in the town of
Pleasant Prairie has been disposed of
as Justice McCarron this morning dis
missed the case against Edward Hays
It is alleged that Hays was not con-
nected with the crowd that took
Schmitz and gave him the dose of tar
and on this account he was relieved
for being tried with the others.
Schmitz was not in court when Hays
was discharged but it is stated that he
will be here to testify against the
other men who were accused of being
connected with the case. The other
cases will come up the latter part of
this week.

the going away period Of its Chicago
career. This unique triumph-in
many respects the most remarkable
rural play ever written-has been
packing the Studebaker for seven
weeks, aud the announcement is made
that but three weeks remain of the en-
gagement which will end on Saturday
night, Nov. IA.
There is no question that Mr.. AIDES
comedy could continue with undated
success at least until the holidays we're
it possible to prolong the engagement,
but some exceedingly advantageous
bookings have been secured for the
piece, and in addition Henry w. Saw
ages English Grand Opera Company
is scheduled to begin the annual sea-
son of song at the Stndebaker, Monday
evening, Nov. 10. Thus it will be nee
essary to cut short the run of "The

In many respects Mr.. AIDES comedy
has created something of theatrical
sensation. The piece shows this pop
ular author at his best, and his char
acters, typical of the soil of the Miss
issippi valley, are destined to live for
a good long time.
A great deal of interest centers in
the seasons appearance of Mr.. Saw

favorite with Chicago music lovers,
has been materially strengthened this
year, and this announcement is sufi-

WAS SEVENTEEN TO NOTHING

Waukegan Foot Ball Players Wallop Keno
sha Team In Hard Fought Battle.
The Waukegan foot ball team wiped
out the defeat administered to them in
Kenosha two weeks ago Sunday after
noon when the Kenosha team was de-
feated on the Waukegan grounds by a
score of IL to 0. The home team re-
turned home badly battered with six.
men on the disabled list and the other
five members of the team were ready
to go into the blankets when the game
was over. 1t was the same old foxy
trick of Waukegan. The team which
played in Kenosha two weeks ago has
been light team and the Kenosha
boys took light team to Waukegan
to meet the Waukeganites. When
they reached the gridiron the Ke-
nosha boys discovered that the Wauke-
gan players were q company of butch
ers and foundrymen outclassipg them
in weight.
In the first half the Waukegan boys
carried the ball over the line and kick
ed goal making score of 6 to 0.
The Kenosha boys braced up and car
ried the ball to the Waukegan five yard
line and then thesslugging began. In
the next scrimmage six Of the Keno
sha players were laid out and forced
to leave the game. The side line fur
nished men to complete the game. A
return game is being arranged for
Thanksgiving Day and it is probable
that Waukegan will get some of its
own medicine at that time.

1t is stated that in the historic viii

WHOSE FAULT IS TIP

The world is full of disease and
pain. Whose fault is it? Every
body's; therefore often the fault
of the sufferers themselves. But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how to cure.
What would become of us If
means were not found to destroy
disease? Why, then, of course,
disease would destroy us and the
world would be depopulated. I'm
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of abating and curing it
after it has seized upon us, and
stands, like a savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
pecially do we need some sure
and speedy form of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal, (which arise in every
country and climate. We allude
to such ailments as Nervous and

TO RECLAIM SITE OF FORT LEE

IL RECLAIM SITE Ot' FORT LEE.
The site of old Fort Lee of Revolu-
tionary fame is to be reclaimed, con-
verted from a mosquito swamp to a
properly kept reservation, and marked
by a monument, says the New York
Times. When the State Board of
Health of New Jersey drained off the
polluted waters of Parker's Pond, a
sluggish pool on the Palisades, some
1000 feet back from the cliffs, indispu-
table evidences were found that this
breeding place for malaria and mos
quitoes had been a military post. The
Daughters of the Revolution and menu
,bers of the Society for the Preservation
of Science and Historic Places became
interested, and research disclosed the
fact that the neglected spot had once
been an important strategic point in
WashingtOn's campaigning. The site
of the old fort is to be restored to its
Revolutionary aspect, as far as posi-
