The dairy farmers of Denmark have
invaded the English markets to such
an extent that they have well-nigh
crowded out the English farmers. More
foreign than domestic butter is con-
sumed in England, and most of it
comes from Denmark. About nine
tenths of Denmarll's butter export
goes TO English markets, and the
amount is over two hundred million
pounds, for which about $50,Ooo,000
was returned to the thrifty Danish
dairymen. 1t is said that some of
this butter was really made by Danish
companies operating in Siberia and
practcing the well-known scientific
and cooperative methods which have
caused the industry to forge TO the
front in Denmark. The egg trade has
followed close on the heels of the dairy
business, the producers having organ
i2ed into exporting societies. and now
shipping over nine-tenths of the coun-
try's egg products TO England.

original material near the surface is
necessary, and land that is not rich
in this material is not benefited much
by deep blowing. Again, it IS safe to
say that nothing robs land of moisture
any more than the stirring pillow. The
five or six inches of surface soil is
turned up aid broken in the air and
moisture that may be needed very
much is sometimes carried off rapidly
by evaporation. The student of the
present time needs to study his soil

Pier Cottage Opens This Afternoon to
Receive Eighty Chicago Children
for the Summer.
NUMBER IS LARGELY INCREASED.
Additions Made to the Summer Home In
Order TO Make it Possible TO Accommo
date the Large Number of Children

Eighty little children gathered up
from the s1ums of Chicago, arrived in
Kenosha this afternoon, and will be
the guests of the good people of the
city during the coming summer.
They are the wards of the Sisters of
ST. Mary and they are comfortably
housed at Pier Cottage, the charming
summer home under the direction of
the Sisters.
The children have all been the
wards of the Sisters for year or
more and nearly all of them have
been cared for during the winter at
the Chicago Home of the Sisters on
Washington Boulevard. Nearly all
of them are the children of working
women and the Sisters bring them to
Kenosha in order to remove this care
from the hard 1abors of the mother.
Many of the children have been in
Kenosha during other summers and
the home coming to these will be like
the reunion of "a great family. The
number this year is larger than ever
before. Last year the Sisters brought
sixty-fve children to Kenosha and at
that time they thought they had
taxed the cottage to it's capacity, but
this season the number is increased
by fifteen and it is possible that 9th
ers will be brought to Kenosha be-
fore the summer is over. Kenosha is
popular place with the little girls
and the Sisters had many app1ica-
tons that they were forced to refuse
on account of the fact that the cot
for so many. During the last few
days carpenters have been at work
charging the buildings of the cottage
and it is now large enough for eighty
children. Before another season the
Sisters hope to be able to have new
building which will be sufficiently
large to accommodate a hundred
children.
The summer home will be in charge
of Sister Margaret Claire and several
of the members of the order from the
Chicago Home.
Ihe children are mere Tor the entire
summer and it is expected that the
people of the city will contribute
largely to assist in carrying out this
labor of love. All of the children are
cared for gratuitous1y and, as in past
years, the people of Kenosha will be
expected to furnish food and clothing
for them during their stay in Kenosha.
The regular work at the summer
home will be started tomorrow when
the children will be given a chance
to get a little education during the
summer months.
All gifts for the home should be
sent to the Sister Superior at Kemper
Hall or to the Sisters in charge of the
Home.

Re-yaIuation Of Property in The City by
Assessors viii Result in One
Per Cent Levy.
REAL ESTATE SHOWS BIG ADVANCE
Personal Property Roll to be Ready for
Board of Review In Another Month
New System Works Well.

| a one per cent tax levy for the year
1905 is now assured to the people of
| Kenosha and the wisdom of the City
Council in increasing the number of
assessors from one to three has been
proved by the efficient work done by
Assessors Biennemen and Kleist.
The work of assessing the real estate
IN the city was completed last night
and the figures are being footed to-
day. So large is the increase in the
real estate values that it is now GER
| tain that the valuation of the prop
erty in the city will be greatly in
| creased, and that the council will be
able to secure sum large enough to
provide for the running expenses of
the city with a one per cent tax levy.
| The two assessors have been va1u-
| ing the real estate of the city for the
past two months, and in their work
little change has been made over the
valuation made year ago. But Ke-
nosha has been growing and many of
the pieces of property in the city
have been greatly improved during
the year so that the total valuation
has been increased by many thousands
of dollars. Last year the assessment
| of the real estate in the city was not
CO mp1eted until late in July and after
that the personal roll had to be made
up. Now the assessors are at work
on the personal roll and it is stated
that the entire tax roll will be ready
| to turn over to the Board of Review
! by the first Monday IN July, the time
set for the hearing of objections to
the values placed.
Assessor K1eist in speaking of the
work for the year stated that little
change had been made in the values
of real estate in the city, but in one
or two cases increases had been or
dered in order to bring property up to
the proper place. In few cases re-
assessors were of the opinion that the
property had been taxed too high in
other years:
Assessor K1eist said: ''The work is
so far advanced that we now feel con-
WINGED that the valuation will be suf-
| fcient1y large to assure one per
cent tax for next year, and the in
| crease in the assessment is sufficient
to permit the looping off of the added
mill tax
The work of getting the value of
the personal property in the city is
giving the usual trouble, and Assessor
Biennemann is devoting all his time
to the personal property roll.
The finance committee has not as
yet made up the estimate for next
year, but so far as can be seen at the
| present time there will be no large
drains on the city treasury.

$4,000 FOR A CHAPEL.
Kemper Hall Girls Begin the Work OF
Raising Large Sum for the I'm
prOvement OF Chapel.
HOPE TO GET FUND THIS YEAR.

One of the results of the gathering
of the students and friends of Kemper
Hall during the last few days is a
movement to raise the sum of $4,000
for the rebuilding of thes1itt1e church
in the grounds known as ST. Peters
Chapel. For several years the chapel
has been entirely too small for the
demands of the school and with con-
stant1y increasing attendance it is
now absolutely necessary that the
chapel be enlarged. The fund for the
care and maintainence of the chapel
is not any too large and it is supported
almost entirely by gifts of friends and
by the little money secured annually
through the sale given by the Gould
of the Holy Child" Several of the
better known a1umnae of the school
have pledged themselves to give con-
siderable for the proposed improve
ments, but most of the money will be
raised by small inscriptions. Every
girl that ever attended Kemper Hall
will have a chance to aid little in
raising the fund and in short time
an appeal will be sent out to each Of
them. The matter has been taken up
by the Alumnae associations in Mil
waukee and Chicago and the young
ladies have pledged themselves to
make an especial effort to raise some
thing for the fund. The promoters of
the work hope to be able to have the
fund all in hand before the opening
of the new year at the hall aud if this
is possible the work of rebuilding will
be started this year. The general
form of the beautiful little temple Of
worship will not be changed, but the
interior will be rearranged so as to
give more room. Several other inn
provements are planned for Kemper
Hall during the summer, but the
money for these improvements will
be taken from the contingent fund of
the school.

NO FOURTH HERE.
Business Men Refuse to Take ANY
Steps For a Celebration OF lnde-
pendence Day in Kenosha.
OLD TIME CELEBRATORs DECLINE.

From present indications there will
be no celebration of the Fourth of
July in Kenosha and the people of
the city if they care for celebration
will be forced to go to some of the
surrounding cities. During the last
few days one or two of the chronic
celebrators have been about testing
the feelings of the business men and
it seems that there is not business
man in the street who is willing to go
out of his way to start something do
ing for independence Day. H. G.
Schultz who has been the ring leader
in Fourth of July celebrations for
the last three or four years absolutely
declines to have anything to do with
celebration this year and his old
side partner in the celebration line,
George B. McCarron is equally mac
tive. With such men refusing to take
hand in the celebration plans it will
be exceedingly difficult to secure a
committee to get the celebration go
ing and it is probable that Kenosha

watching ball game or with a picnic
OUT along the lake shore some place.
Racine has also declared against the
celebration idea and if the people of
this portion of the state want to have
any sport on the Nations birthday
they will have to go down to sleepy
Waukegan.
Notwithstanding the lack of ce1ebra-
ton plans there will be many ath-
1etic events in Kenosha on the
Fourth. The Country Club members
will have their annual independence
Day tournaments, there will be ball
games and a picnic at Central Park,
the Tennis Club will have a tourna-
nent and some of the bicycle riders
are making an effort to get up road
race. With these attractions it is
probable that the average Kenoshan
will be able to find something to take
up his time.

COWS ARE POISONED.
Herd on the Latin Rand Farm Killed by
Eating Soda Left on Grass by a Fire.

Three cows from the herd of Peter
Fredson of the Latin Rand farm in
the town of Pleasant Prairie, died last
night as result of eating soda.
Many other cows in the herd of sixty
are sick and it is feared that others
will die. At the time of the recent
fire at the Powder Mills a large
amount of molten soda flowed from
the soda house into the cow pasture
adjoining it. Yesterday afternoon
the cows we're turned into the pasture
to Craze and they ate some of this
soda together with the grass. In a
short time three of them died. It is
not known what can be done to save
the other members of the herd. The
loss to Fredson will be a large one, as
the cows are all thoroughbreds and
valuable.
