The state fair made money this
year and the attendance figures show
that the people of Wisconsin are will
ing and able to support the fair if it
is worthy of support. Good manage
ment and good advertising made the
fair success this year, and if the
experience of a year ago, when the
fair was fiat failure, is ever repeated
it will be due not to any refusal of the
people to accord proper support to
the enterprise, but to some fault OF
the management. The people have
shown that they are willing to dc
their part if the managers do theirs,

THE men who, either in spirit of
vandalism or as piece of spite work
against the men whose names appear
on them, have been disfguring or
destroying the rural mail boxes on
some of the routes in the county, are
taking big chances. Uncle Sam is
particularly severe upon anyone who
hampers with his mail service in any
way, and if the postofice inspectors
succeed in catching the men who have
been foo1ing with the boxes it will &C
hard with them. 1t looks like a pretty
small piece of spite work, anyway,
and the men who are guilty of doing
it will get no more than they deserve
if they are caught.

MISS LANCER "A BRIDE.

Arthur Kelly Celebrated.

Marriage of Miss Anna LANCER and
Arthur Kelly Celebrated.
One of the prettiest church we'd
dings of the year in Kenosha was the
marriage of Miss Anna LANCER,
daughter of Caspar LANCER Of Trues-
dell, and Arthur Kelly of Kenosha,
which was celebrated at st. George
church at nine o'clock this morning.
In honor of the event the church was
pretti1y decorated with palms and
flowers and a large number of the
friends of the bride and groom were
in attendance when the solemn mar
riage mass was read by Father Els
kamp. Miss LANCER was given away
by her father. She was attired in a
dainty wedding dress of white silk
and carried roses.
After the wedding ceremony ce1e-
bration of the event was held at the
home of the brides parents in the
town of Pleasant Prairie.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly will make their
home at the old Kelly homestead, and
will be at home to their friends after
the first of October. Both are we'll
known in the county and they go to
housekeeping with the best wishes of
a host of friends.

THE figures on the 1904 assessment
as compiled by County Clerk Crosby,
upon which the tax levy for the COM
ing year is based, show some startling
changes when compared with those
of last year, and the prospects are
that the county board is going to have
even more trouble than usual MAX
ing the equalization between city and
county. AS whole the assessment
shows an increase of only $27, 747,
which would seem to indicate that the
assessment last year was pretty nearly
correct, and that the assessed valua-
ton had been brought up in 1908 to
very nearly the actua1 value as re-
quired by law. 1t is only when the
figures turned in by the assessors OF
the city and those in the county this
year, are compared with the returns
made in 1908, that the presence of the

FAILS TO FIND CAUSE.
Verdict in Ratigan Inquiry Only Sets
Time of Death of John Ratigan.

The coroner's jury called to investi-
gate into the death of John Ratigan,
whose body was found in the harbor
on Monday, returned verdict late
Tuesday evening. The verdict does
not enter into the circumstances of
the death of Ratigan but the finding
is '"That the deceased met his death
by drownding in the harbor at Keno
sha at about the hour of one O. clock
on the morning of September the
fourth"
There was no evidence to show that
Ratigan had been seen after the
fourth of the month and the evidence.
seemed to be conclusive that he had
gone to his death at that time.
AS to whether the death was the re-
suit of an accident or not will prob
ably never be known.
