Wilson and o. F. Dana for the educa-
ton of the children of the territory.
She spoke of the building of the first
High school and its dedication and OF
the men who we're worthy of remem-
brance for the part they had taken in
this fight for higher education Tor the
children of the village. She spoke OF
the pioneer churches aud their growth
into the present temples of. worship,
and of the growth of small stores into
great mercantile institutions. She
spoke of the building of the Western
railway and the debt that had been
brought upon the city by the project
and the way it had been paid off.
In closing Mrs. Whitaker paid a
feeling tribute to the memory OF the
pioneers and their great work in lay
ing the foundations on which the city
of Kenosha is still being built. She
said: "They have gone to their long
home, but have left an enviable legacy.
Surely hearts will throb with gratitude
and benediction arise when memory
reverts to the self-denying pioneers
of 1885"
After the paper was over most IN
teresting discussion was led by Miss
Julia Allen, in which many anecdotes
and incidents of the pioneer life were
brought out. It would be impossible
to reproduce all these splendid stories
of pioneer times, but they made an
excellent history of those early days
before Southport became kenosha.
The afternoon session closed with
social hour at which the guests were
entertained by the members of the
club.
In connection with this open meet
ing of the club the president has
announced that Article S, Section of
the constitution of the club has been
amended to read as follows:
The Corresponding Secretary shall
keep a record of guests invited and
two invitations may be accepted dur
ing the year. Failure to respond will
be considered an acceptance.

SHEEP HAVE HYDRoPHoB1A.
Flock Owned by William Stevens, of Bristol.
Has Dread Disease.

A large flock of sheep belonging to
William Stevens, in the town of Bris-
tol, has been seized with nydrophobia,
and it is feared that the diseas sc will be
spread to other hocks in the neighbor-
hood. Three weeks ago a mad dog
went through the flock and bit num-
Der Of the sheep. The dog was seen
leaving the farm, but Mr.. Stevens was
not aware of the fact that the sheep
had been bitten. During the past week
five of them have been seized with
hydrophobia, and those afflicted bit
others Of the flock before they were
killed.
The sheep when attacked by the dis
ease seemed 70 become violently mad,
and attacked not only the other sheep
in the pasture, but cows and hogs. As
soon as the malady was discovered,
every effort was made to keep the
afflicted ones from the rest of the
flock.

THE Tax Commission has made out
strong case against the railroads,
but the way some of the organs are
bowling because the railroad compan-
les dare to enter a plea IN their own
behalf is reminiscent of Kansas in the
days of her bewhiskered and sock1ess
craftsmanship, period Kansas has
now outgrown. The last word has not
been said on the subject by any means
and the roads are certainly entitled to
hearing. The subject is of vast i'm
portance and the more light that can
be thrown upon it the better. Wiscon-
sin cannot afford to get the reputation
of dealing unjust1y with the railroads,
and the companies may stand in an en-
tirely different light when their side of
the question is fully presented. The
cry of ''tax the railroads million dol
lars more' was very taking one with
the masses during the campaign, but
now that the campaign is over and the
people have had time for a sober sec
ond thought the great majority of
them have no desire to see the rail-
roads pay any more than their fair
share of the taxes. And in spite of
the cocksure attitude of some of the
organs, the amount that the roads are
to pay has not yet been determined.

ANY bill limiting the amount to be

resentatives of the counties which reap
the benefits at present, and such bill
can never be passed unless the mem
bers from the counties which "pay the
freight" stand together. Another sug-
gestion has been made which should
be embodied in the bill providing for a
reduction in the tax, and that is to al
low no county to draw more from the
State fund than it raises for school

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
Simon Schiller, Early Settler of City. Ex-
PRED Wednesday Night In Paris.

Simon Schiller, aged 90 years, one Of
the early settlers of Keuosha and a
resident of the city for many years,
died Wednesday night at his home in
the town of Paris after long illness
from cancer of the tongue.
Simon Schiller was born at Regens-
burg, Bavaria, October %, 1884. He
came to this country in 1851 and after
a short residence at West Bend and
Port Washington he came to Kenosha
in 1858. Until ten years ago he con-
tinued to reside in this city and at that
time he removed to the town Of Paris.
For many years the deceased was a
familiar figure to the people of the
western part of the city and the news
of his death will be received with re-
greet. A widow IS the sole surviving
member of the family, two children
having died several years ago.

APPEARANCES are to the effect that

APPEARANCES are to the effect that
there will be little or no opposition to
the ad valorem system. So much faith
is placed in the Tax Commission and
the value of its work that those who
have believed the license system best
haye reluctantly been forced to either
change their opinions or 70 defer to
the views of the Commission. But
when this system is adopted there will
be work for the assessors and tax COM
mission compared to which the work
of the past year has been small. Full
value for everything will not only be
demanded, but unless it is had, the
railroads will have good grounds for
contesting their taxes and for insist
ing on fair valuation for other tax
payers. Let the ad va1orem system
come. It will bring out of hiding mill
lions of dollars in taxable value and
will result in the wealthy man paying
a fair share Of the taxes, which he has
successfully avoided for years.-Mar-
inette Eagle.

Government Will Authorize Purchase of a
Large Tract of Additional Land.
The insertion in the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill reported to the House
of Representative Monday of an item
of $280,000 for the purchase of approx
mately 10 acres of land for an addi-
ton to the Fort Sheridan military
reservation is expected to result in
material Improvement of Highwood
and adjoining property. The move
ment was started by Gen. Macarthur
and the military authorities have re-
ported favorably on the plan.
The land that probably will be pur-
chased takes in part of the Sweeney
property, just south of the Fort Sheri-
dan station of the Northwestern road,
about 10 acres; Prall's Subdivision of
about 80 acres on the south, and the
north part of Highwood west of the
Milwaukee tracks, and from the tracks
to the reservation line, and as far
south as Washington avenue. Part of
the ground is subdivided and there are
said to be about 200 owners with whom
the government will have to deal.
On the Pra11 tract are about $50 in
ferior dwellings,, built on 50-foot lots,
which have marred the appearance of
the reservation entrance. These wou16
be removed. Some of the land it is
proposed to buy is valued at about
ST. 900 an acre, while other parts which
have been subdivided are valued at
from $4,000 to S., 900 an acre.
