Number Of Hunting Licenses Issued
Already Passes High Water Mark
OF 1902 Nearly a Hundred.
FARMERS ARE GETTING LEARY
Hunters Killed Big Steer on the Farm of
Chas. GItzIaff and Some One Must
Pay for the Dead Animal.

County Clerk Crosby has passed all
records this season in the issue of
hunting licenses and while the season
is not as yet we'll advanced fifty more
licenses have been issued than during
the entire season of 1902. The open
season for deer will not open for nearly
month and at that time the mum Der of
licenses is sure to be largely increased.
Kanosha has been for years sending
large colony into the northern woods
and more parties are being organized
this year than ever before. 1t would
not be surprising if the total number
of licenses reaches the thousand mark
in the county this season. Nearly all
of the licenses issued up to the present
time have been issued to residents of
the county but when the spring season
opens there will be large number of
nonresident licenses issued and this
will increase the fund as received by
the clerk. There is nearly every va
riety of hunters in the county. Sever
al licenses have been issued to women
and in many cases licenses have been
issued to men who have passed the
three score mark. Some Of the hunters
are satisfied to hunt the rabbits and
small game that are to be found in
this neighborhood but many of the
hunters insist that they are out for
deer and some of them seek even big
ger game.
Last year there we're one hundred
and ten deer carcasses ahipped into
Kenosha during the hunting season
but scarcely any of the venison was
offered for sale in the markets of the
city. Most of it was divided among
the friends of the hunters.
The rapid increase in the number of
hunters in the county is being viewed
with alarm by the farmers of the coun-
ty who claim that the hunters are a
menace to their safety. Last Sunday
hunters in the town of Bristol passed
through the farm of Charles Gitzlaff
and on the following morning Gitzlaff
discovered that valuable steer had
been shot in the shoulder and it was
found necessary to kill the steer. The
property of Mr.. Gitzlaf had already
been posted but it seems that the
eager hunters paid no attention to the
signs. Accidents of similar nature
have been reported from other parts of
the county and it is claimed that the
hunters are bagging more domestic
than wild fowls and the chicken
houses of the farmers are being de-
vastated.
Several Of the farmers have promis
ed to prosecute the careless hunters
and such prosecutions will probably
put an end to the nuisances.

WANTED TOO MUCH.
Chicken Thieves 60 Back After More Booty
and Lose al They Had Secured.

Chicken Thieves 90 Back After More Booty
and Lose al They Had Secured.
It doesn't pay to be too greedy. Last
night two chicken thieves raided the
coops of Charles Hansis well known
resident of the Sand Ridge and man
aged to secure fifteen fine fat fowls
but they wanted the rest of the chick
ems and went back after them. On the
second trip they were dete :ted and
barely managed to escape capture. On
the first visit the men managed to bag
fifteen fowls and taking them left and
started toward the city. AS they were
going out another coop containing
three chickens was discovered and the
men left their booty in the yard of
Dan Cox while they went back to get
the other three. AS they entered the
yard second time the men were dis
covered and they were forced to aban-
don their booty. With the chickens
squalling the men started to run
through the cemetery with the people of
the Sand Ridge giving chase. The fell,
lows managed to escape by hiding
themselves among the monuments but
it is thought that they are known and
warrants for their arrest will probably
be issued this afternoon.

FOOTBALL rs TABBOOED.
Gridiron Sport Is not for the Boys of h
Kenosha High School Without Consent

GridirOn Sport Is not for the Boys of h
Kenosha High School without Consent
The Kenosha High School has no
football team and there is little reason
to believe that the school will have a
team during the present season as foot
bali is under the ban at the High
School. Gridiron honors may be dear
to the boys of the High School but be-
fore they can mingle with the kickers
the boys will be required to get special
permits from their parents. This re-
straint upon the sport has practically
killed it in the school and the boys are
making no effort to get up team to
contest with the other schools 10 this
section of the state. The rule is one
in keeping with the rule laid down by
the Board of Education some years ago
and it will probably be enforced.
Many of the boys are desperately
opposed to the ruling but it is proba BILE
that they will have to abide by it and
allow the foot ball honors to go to
others.

SOME of the dog owners who sput up
their little dollar to secure the regula-
ton license tag are beginning to won
der if they we're not trifle premature
in rushing in on the city clerk with
their money and forcing him to take
it. AS far as anybody can see the
dogs without tags whose owners paid
no license are enjoying peaceful and
untroubled existence without any fear
of molestation from any source. They
are apparently as safe as the tag wear
ing CANNES who have been duly auth
orized to live by the city.

NEW DISCIPLE OF O'PLANE.
Bayard Tourtelotte, of Pleasant Prairie
Wants q Company to Dredge River.

Bayard Tourtelotte, of Pleasant Prairie
Wants Company to Dredge River
A new disciple of the O'Plane
river has arisen in the person of Bay
ard Torrte1otte, well known farmer
Of the town of Pleasant Prairie, who
is seeking to awaken new interest in
the old plan for the dredging of the
river. The plan has been laughed to
scorn so many times that the people
interested in it have long since lost
hope, but Mr.. Tourtelotte, who is one
of the biggest holders of land along
the river, believes that the plan is
feasible and he will make an effort to
promote the scheme.
James Cavanagh, the well known
attorney, first brought up the plan but
he dropped it some time ago on
account of lack of cooperation
among the other land owners in the
district. 1t is to be hoped that the
movement started by Mr.. Tourtelotte
will be of some value and if it is posi-
bic to dredge the river that the work
will be done at the earliest possible
time.

A COMPARISON of the figures on the
assessed valuation of the taxable prop
erty III the different counties of the
state furnished by the state tax COM
mission and upon which the apportion-
ment of the state tax to be borne by
the several counties is made shows that
Kenosha county is at present getting
the worst of 1t under the law which re-
quires that all property be assessed at
actual value for the purposes Of taxa
tion. We are going>to pay more than
our just proportion of the state taxes
this year and we are going to pay this
extra tax because greater effort has
been made ia Kenossa county to carry
out the law than in the other counties
In the state. The assessed value of
property in this county is probably
nearer actual value than in any other
county of the state. 1t is certain that
the percentage of assessed value to
actual value is higher here than in the
neighboring counties. Property in
Walworth county was only assessed at
about 70 per cent of actual value last
year and while it is claimed that RAJ
cine county is assessed to about IS per
cent the probabilities are that the per-
centage is really much lower than that.
Forty million does not look like very
large assessment for county that has
always claimed to have four or FIVE
times as muck property as Kenosha.
The assessed value OF property in this
county this year figured on basis of
actual sales will be pretty close to 95
per cent of actual value and that is as
high as it will ever be possible to get
1T. The difference may not be SO great
all Though the state but it looks as if
Kenosha county would have a good
case before the state tax commission
IA fight for an equalization of values
as between counties. In a work of
suck magnitude as the changing of the
entire system of assessment through
out the whole state some counties are
bound to get the worst of it the first
year or two but in the end the assessed
values of all the counties will be
brought up SO that each will bear its
fair share of the burden of the state tax.
Bat until they are raised Kenosha may
have to pay more than its share Of the
state tax.

Teachers Of Racine and kenOsha
Counties TO Form an Edu-
catiOnaI Alliance
VENTURE WATCHED WITH INTEREST
Leaders of Educational Work in the State
to Assist in the Formation Of the Assoc
ciation.-Many Teachers to Belong

An educational alliance of more than
usual note will be formed at Union
Grove on Friday Oct. 80, when the
teachers of Racine and Kenosha Coun-
ties will meet to form an association
of the two counties. The alliance has
been sanctioned by the State Superin-
tendant of Schools and it is expected
that it will prove one of the strongest
societies of teachers outside of the
state teachers associa ton. The teach
ers to the number of two hundred who
are now employed in the two counties
will be eligible to membership in the
association and nearly all of them are
expected to be enrolled at the first
meeting. The purpose of the alliance
will be not only for the advancement
of the interests of the teachers but also
for the advancement of the schools.
Regular meetings will be held al which
time prominent speakers Of state and
national renown will address the
teachers on matters of interest to them
and to the school patrons. The inter
est of the department has been shown
in the alliancesby the fact that the de-
partment is sending to the first meet
ing George H. Drewry, the state
inspector, and the association will be
organized underIdirect control. Should
the experiment in these two counties
prove an aid to the educational work
it is probable that the plan will be fol-
lowed in many sections of the state and
result in more compact organization
of educational interests. Superin-
tendent George Taylor has started the
movement in the two counties and he
deserves great deal of credit for the
success that has been attained. The
program for the first meeting follows:
Friday, Oct. 30-State graded teach
ers' conference.

course of study, Inspector Geo. H.
Drewry.

In spite of the estimates of the ex-
pert crop reporters and spectators it
is now pretty certain that there will be
at least an average corn crop. The
government crop report shows that
the condition of the crop was three
points better than the average for the
past ten years on Oct. /, and as the
weather has been perfect for curing
the corn all through the corn belt for
the past three weeks the corn must
have improved considerably since the
government report was made. With
an enormous wheat crop and/plenty of
feed for stock it looks as if the pros
perity of the country was still upon a
pretty solid basis. Barring the danger
of a crisis in the industrial world
caused by the exorbitant demands of
labor, there is no cloud on the horizon
and no apparent reason why the coun-
try should not be as prosperous year
hence as it is today.

JANE adams COMING.
Well Known Head of Hull House to Be
Heard In KenOsha.

Well Known Head of Hull House to Be
Heard In Kenosha.
It is to be the good fortune of the
people of Kenosha to have the oppor-
tunity, in the near future, to hear Miss
Jane Adams, of Hull House, Chicago,
in lecture. The remarkable works
of Hull House is well known to many
people in this city, and many visitors
to Chicago frequently go out to Hal
sted street to see this social settlement
and learn something of its helpfulness
in its own locality and its remarkable
influence in matters pertaining to the
welfare of the city.
The recent attacks on Hull House
and Miss Adams, in certain Chicago
newspapers, will give an added inter-
est at this time to what she may say.
The Chronicle charges both the social
settlements of the city with teaching
doctrines of Socialism which are de-
structive to the moral life of those who
accept the teaching. No fair minded
person can be willing to hear only one
side of the matter, especially if it be
an attack on a work that has won a
national reputation for its excellence.
Those who see and hear Miss Adams
can better judge whether there is any
ground for the charges made.
The most important recent work of
Miss Adams is that ia the legislature
of Illinois, with reference to securing
suitable laws concerning child labor.
Her lecture here will be given in the
Unitarian church on he evening of
November 8, is to be upon the subject,
"The Social Waste of Child Labor. .
This is matter of great interest and
of vital Importance to the people of
Kenosha.
Miss Adams has charming per-
sonality and is a pleasing speaker.
During her stay In the city she will be
the guest of Mr.. z. G. Simmons and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hasel1 Lance

Yachts Drifting Into Kenosha to Lay Up
For the Winter Season.

For the Winter Season.
The Kenosha harbor promises to
contain more yachts during the coming
winter than any other port in Wiscon-
sin and large percentage of the fleets
of the Chicago Yacht club and the
Columbia Yacht club, of Chicago, will
be laid up here for the winter. The
grounds about the Morgan club house
are already filled to their capacity and
owners of Chicago yachts we're in Ke-
nosha today seeking to lease harbor
property for the storage of yachts dur
ing the winter. Most of the largest
boats have already been laid up at the
Morgan docks but many of the little
boats will be brought in during the
present week.
Among the latest arrivals are the
vernon Jr. flag ship of the Columbia
Yacht club, the Rosa mond AID Glad
Tidings. Twenty other boats are ex.,
pected to reach Kehosha within

is DoWIE INSANE?

Utterances In New York Lead Gothamites
Is John Alexander Dowie insane?
This is the question that is coming
from New York and it is claimed that
the actions of the prophet Of Zion City
since the opening Of his crusade in
New York have tended to prove that
his mind is wandering. Tuesday he
addressed crowd Of twelve thousand
people at Madison Square Garden and
his talk was of such purile atu e
that at times even his followers fe AIRED
that he wassnot in possession of his
mind.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was the star
actor at the Dowie meetings Tuesday
and many times during the services
the smasher from Kansas made an
effort to interrupt the healer but he
steadily refused to take any notice of
her. Thousands of people sided with
Mrs. Nation and Dowie became so
angry at their support that he declared
that the people were crowding into
Madison Square Garden with the in
tention of numbering him.
Thousands of people Kissed Dowie at
both services Tuesday but the fact re-
manned that ten thousand people were
unable to get into the big hall to hear
the rawlings of the healer.
There seems to be little doubt but
that Dowie will fail of his purpose of
converting New York. His attack on
DR.. Buckley of the Christian Advocate
which was one of his main missions to
New York fell fiat and it is conceded
that Dowie was completely worsted.
Not single convert to Dowieism
has been made as yet apd the healing
meetings have been devoid of results.
The host has lost none of its faith in
the leader and they are working day
and night in all parts of New York.
