Rexistrnra Purge Lists.

As reuired by the election laws or the State the registrars of the County. D. B. Edwards, St. J. l.. Traveli and w. L. Sheppard met in the Court House today to purge the registration lists of those persons names who had died or become disqualified by insanity or crime or other causes. For the same purpose the Registrars Is to meet again on the fourth Monday in August. Very few names, 1t Is believed. must be re- moved, and the hearing which the con stitution of the State says must be granted to those whose right to remain upon the lists of qualified electors will doubtless be unnecessary.
 The registration of voters is pro- gressing favorably and the few eligible persons not already qualified and registered readily present themselves before the Board The registrars have discovered. however. that there Is much seeming obscurity in the minds of many as to the purport of the laws upon registration and in this the chief difficulty lies. Captain Edwards. of the Board, interprets one section of the law as intended that any person re- moving his residence. not only from county to county but from precinct to precinct. must again register before he can be a qualified voterrr Upon this and few other points is confusion of such magnitude as to prevent the registration of a considerable number of citizens eligible for entrance into the class of the qualified.

News Is received that Wallace Elliott a negro was shot and probably fatally wounded at Marion Junction Saturday night by Sam Daniels a negro. It is reported that as a termination of an old quarrel over a woman Daniels ap- preached Elliott and calmly informing him he was going to kill him, fired up- on Elliott with a pistol. The bullet entered Elliott's stomach and perfo- rated the intestines twelve times so that his recovery Is almost an impos- sibility. Elliott was brought to this city and placed in a hospital.

THE contractors furnishing the
brick for the Durkee school, have
agreed to take back the bad material
and to supply better brick in the
future so that there will be no delay
on their account in completing the
building on time. This is fortunate
but whose fault was it in the first
place that so many of the brick were
received here without protest and
that some of them were placed IN the
walls before any complaints were
made that they were not up to con-
tract requirements? Who is supposed
to oversee the work for the city and
who inspects. the material? Has the
city no representative on the job! Is
anyone looking after the city's inter
ests or is everything left to the con-
tractors? If the city is employing
anybody to look after its interests it
does not appear that he is attending
to business very we'll when such
things can happen.

WOUNDED IN THE PHILIPPINES

strange Discovery is Made in Regard to
Bray. Former Resident of This city.
The Rev. William Bray, who has.
just returned to Kenosha after visit
ing his son in New York. has an
nounced that the son was badly
wounded while with the United States
army IN the Philippines. However,
young Bray guarded his secret with
such zeal that it did not become
known even to his parents until a
short time ago. Recently the Young
man was sent to hospital in New
York and was supposed to be suffer-
ing from appendicitis. When the
doctors made an examination if was
discovered that the side of the youno
man had been pierced by rifle bali,
He then told the story of his injury.
Young Bray stated that he had gone
out with a detachment of twenty
soldiers and while in a brush with the
natives he was shot through the side.
He was taken to one of the govern
ment hospitals and cared for, but it
seems that the wound never entirely
recovered and his present illness was
caused by it.
Young Bray was operated on some
time ago and he is now on the high.
road to recovery.

THE proposal of John Strange a
leading LaFol1ette follower, that both
tickets now in the field withdraw and
that an entirely new ticket be named
not be received with any great
amount of favor throughout the state.
The fact that such plants suggested
by one of the stand-bys of the LaFol-
1ette party shows, however, that some
of the leaders of his party are not
willing to become bo1ters by refusing
to abide by the decision Of the Ma
tiona1 Convention, and that they are
not prepared to follow the Governor in
his warfare against the regular Re-
publican party organization in the
state and nation.

necessary

The number of Kenosha people IN
vesting in "get rich" quick concerns
must have given the city reputation
for being "easy." Nobody thinks OF
any new graft without inviting Keno
sha victims to contribute their share
of the spoi1s. The latest effort to get
a ''come ON from here is a green
goods scheme and a good one. After
the painful experiences of the past it
ought not to be necessary to warn
anybody against investing in it.

CRUSADE AGAINST BASE BALL.
People of Pleasant Prairie. Start Crusade
Against the Sunday Base Ball Games

The church people of Pleasant Prai-
RE are at work and a crusade is in
view against the Sunday base ball
games, which have proven to be
rather a source of amusement for the
people of the village. The ball team
has been winning many games and it
is claimed that good many more
people are attending the base ball
games than are attending the servi-
ces of the church. The crusade is not
to be a legal one, but the church
members will try and show the ball
lovers the folly of their ways. AS an
added attraction plans are being made
to give concerts on Sunday afternoon
to draw the crowds from the ball park.

THE law requiring all property to
be assessed at full value for the pur-
poses of taxation, is working we'll
locally, and the burden of the tax is
being more equally divided in the
city under it, but when it comes to
state matters it is not so satisfactory.
The trouble is that some of the coun-
ties are still working more or less
under the old system, and that their
supervisors are evidently not doing
their duty by forcing a full assess
ment. Consequently, when the state
tax is levied some counties pay more
of it proportionate1y than others
whose percentage of assessment to
actual value is not so high. The
state board of equalization is sup
posed to adjust these differences as
between counties, but the work of the
board in this respect was not very sat-
isfactory last year and a good many
taxpayers believe that those counties
which complied with the law and
made an honest assessment got the
worst of it when it came to paying
state taxes. Kenosha county is as
sessed at as near actual value as any
county in the state, but there arr
few tax payers5who have taken thu
trouble to look into the matter wh'
do not believe that our percentage o
assessment was higher than tn
percentage in Racine and milwaukee
counties according to the figures mad
by the state board last year. TIL
state board has another chance t
equa1ize this year, and # som
changes in the fgnres are not mao ma
the full value assessment law will no
be any too popular

KENOsHA NOT THERE.
State Prohibition Convention Meets In Mad
ison.-KenOsha not Represented.

The prohibition spirit in Kenosha
seems to be dead, for when the state
Prohibition convention was called to
order at Madison at noon today, Ke-
nosha was among the counties of the
state not represented in the conven-
ton. The Prohibitionists in the
county took no steps to hold a con-
vention or caucuses, and not one of
the members of the party journeyed to
Madison with credentials. This is
the first time in many years that this
county has not been represented by
delegates at the Prohibition conven-
ton. Several years ago Kenosha
was one of the strongest counties for
the party in the state and four years
ago the late Willis w. Cooper was
nominated for lieutenant governor.
