Receipts Of the Post Office For the
Quarter lust Closed the Largest
in History Of the Office.
INCREASE POSTMASTER'S SALARY.
Receipts of Office Will Pass $4,000 Mark
byCIose of the Present Fiscal Year.
New Building Needed.

Postmaster Charles Frantz has just
" forwarded to Washington his report on
the receipts of the Kenosha post office
for the quarter ending September 80,
and the report is one of more than
usual interest on account of the fact
w that the receipts during that quarter
were larger than ever before known
ia the history of the post Office. This
report will be one of the things sent to
90 Congress together with the petition for
new building and it will be the best
possible proof of the great advance
that is being made ia the business in
"a terests of the city.
The receipts from the sale of the
stamps and money orders from the
office during the last three months
~ amounted to $6,659.68 which is an in
crease of over eleven hundred dollars
over the receipts for the same period
in 1902. This increase is largely the
90 natural increase of the business of the
office but part of it is traced to the
fact that during the quarter several Of
the large factories in the city have
sent out large quantities of advertis-
~ ing matter thus increasing the sale Of
stamps. The report of the Office at
the close Of the fiscal year in March
showed that the receipts for that year
had been S23,91O. It was not sufficient
W to allow the post master an increase
IN salary but at the next annual report
the sales will undoubtedly pass the
1924, 1000 mark and there is no doubt but
" that the salary of the post master will
be increased by hundred dollars and
it is possible that even larger in
crease may be made in the salary of
the official.
w The steady increase in the sales re-
corded in the Kenosha office have kept
up for the past ten months, and there
has been no change during the sum
mer months. The addition Of num-
90 Der of rural routes to the business of
the Kenosha Office will undoubtedly
increase the receipts both from the
sale of stamps as well as from the sale
90 of money orders.
The report will largely aid the Post
master in securing more help for the
Ecarrying on of the business of the
,ss onlGSs dS well do al appropriation Tor
a new building ia Kenosha.
Captain Frantz is now closing his
eel term as Postmaster, and he is anxious
I'D before his successor is appointed to be
lis able to have the Government take
Mt some steps toward putting the Keno
ry sha postof1ce ia home that will be in
he keeping with the steadily increasing
nd business of the city.
ID. The petition is being started to ask
he Congress to build such a building in
n Kenosha this year, and as the repre-
be sentatives both in the House and in
IN the Senate are pulling all wires toward
he | Kenosha it is just possible that the ef-
AS fort will succeed.

DEATH CLAIMS OLD PIONEER.
William Riddle Stetson, of S0mers Died al
Home of His Daughter

william Riddle SteCsOn. OF SOmers. Died at
Home of His Daughter.
William Riddle Stetson, the oldest
resident of the town of Somers, and
one of the earliest pioneer settlers of
kenosha county, died at the home of
his daughter Mrs. N. E. Thompson in
the village of Somers at three O'Clock
last Thursday morning. Death result
ted from the natural decline due to old
age. For several years Mr.. Stetson
had been in failing health, ard his
death will not come as surprise to
those who had known him.
The death of Mr.. Stetson marks the
passing of one of the best known men
in the county. He had been resident
of Kenosha county for more thar sixty
six years, and was one Of that noble
band of pioneers who first claimed the
county for civilization. The deceased
was born in Westfeld, N. Y, March
IL, 1917. He came west in 1887 and
settled in the town of Somers and ten
years afterward he purchased the farm
on which he had lived almost to the
time of his death.
Mr.. Stetson had been one of the in
fuential citizens of the town of Som
ers, and always took great interes
in the affairs of the town. He is sur
vived by one son, Grosvenor B. Stet-
son, and one daughter, Mrs. Julia
Thompson, wife of N. E. Thompson
postmaster at Somers.
The funeral was held from the
Thompson home in Somers on Satur-
day afternoon at two O'Clock, and the
remains we're inferred in the family
plat at lakewood cemetery.
