Wisconsin Supreme Court Passes on
the Question OF Administration
OF Assessment Laws.
ASSESSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Statute Imposing Penalty for Undervalu-
alton of Property is Held to be q
Valid Enactment.

One of the most important decisions
rendered by the Supreme court OF
Wisconsin in recent years was handed
down Tuesday afternoon when the
court held that the statute governing
assessors and boards of review was a
valid enactment.
The case, that of The State VS..
Gilman, was brought to collect the
forfeiture imposed by the assessment
laws which provide that any assessor
or member of board of review who
shall Intentionally fix an assessment
of taxable property in his district at
more or less than the true value
thereof shall forfeit to the state not
less than $50 nor more than $3.50.
The question before the court was
whether or not the statute imposing
the penalty mentioned was a valid
enactment. The Supreme court de-
cided that it was and the decision of
the court will be received with vary
ing emotions in the different parts of
the state. That the decision Of the
court will be a great assistance to the
assessors and boards of review in rails
ing the assessment of taxable proper
ty to something approxinating it's
true value there can be no doubt.
Assessors and members of boards of
review who, from motives of friend
ship or baser considerations, might
be tempted to lower certain assess
ments in their districts will now be
detained from doing so by fear of the
enforcement of the forfeiture clause
of the assessment law against them.
Attorneys of corporations and other
interested parties have been in the
habit of referring to the forfeiture
clause of the law regulating the as
SCISSORS and boards of review as un-
constitutional ever since the present
assessment law was passed and con-
| tending that assessors could not be
brought to book under it for any will
full neglect of duty The decision of
the court will stop all arguments as
to the liability of assessors and mem
bers of boards of review and it will
help wonderfully in the enfor cement
Eof the assessment law. The super
visor of assessments in the various
counties will now have less difficulty
in securing exact valuations since
after an assessor has once had his at
| tention called to INTERPRETATIONS on
his books he. cannot escape charge
of Intentionally evading the law if he
fails to remedy them.

Somers.

Mrs. Maria Fide1ia Kellogg Ozanne,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Austin
Kellogg, was born in 1881 at Cicero.
New York. The family moved to
Wisconsin in 1885 from Fulton, N. Y,
landing where Kenosha now is, then
called Pike River. In those Indian
days there were no schools and it was
years before school privileges were at
all satisfactory. The children of
Austin Kellogg kept house in South
port, (the parents living out 25z
mi1es) and attended the late 1amented
Gov. Harvey's Academy. Maria
qualified herself for teaching and
spent some years at that employment.
Miss Kellogg was united in marriage
to Dr. James Ozanne in 1851 and re-
sided in Somers until the death of her
husband in 1891. Most of the years
since she has made her home with
her daughter, Ray, the wife of Rev.
M. L. Norris, of Rock River confer
ence, (Il1.,) and DR.. James T. Ozanne,
her oldest boy, at Oshkosh. Mrs.
Ozanne leaves three sons and one
daughter. Additional to those men
toned are DR.. Irving Ozanne, of Nee
nah, and Herbert, the missionary in
India. She died at Oshkosh Febru-
airy 10, 1904. She had been in feeble
health for some time and peacefully
sank to rest without struggle sur
rounded by her friends. The de-
ceased was a devoted christian from
early youth, her parents being heroic
Methodists. Her father landed at
Pike River on Sunday afternoon and
announced that there would be prayer
meeting the next Sunday. That was
the first religious meeting held at Ke-
nosha. Mrs. Ozanne had buried two
sons who were nearly grown to man
hood and daughter who died in in
fancy. She had been a devoted
mother and a consistent christian.
'fShe has done what she cou1d'' and
has gone to her reward. She leaves
two sisters and three brothers. The
funeral services were held on Friday
afternoon from the home of her son,
DIR. James T. Ozanne, at Oshkosh,
conducted by Rev. Farmer and Rev.
Rollins. Interment at lakewood GEM

Selection OF Lake Bluff Site for Naval
Training Station Bitterly Opposed
by Congressman Cooper.
RACINE SITE WAS NOT EXAMINED
If House Disregards the Boards Recon-
mendation Either. Racine or Kenosha
May Have a Chance

The full strength of the opposition
to the location of the naval station at
Lake Bluff is just,being developed, as
the amendment to the naval bill APP
propriating::$25O, 900 for the purchase
of the site Icon1essup for discussion in
the house. sgRight1y or wrongly it is
held that thesposition of Congressman
Foss, in whose district Lake Bluff is
situated, as ,chairman of the commit
tee on Nava1lahairs, influenced the SCI
lection of the site, and many mem
bers of thes house are determined to
prevent Lake Bluff from getting the
station evenIif in order to do so they
are obliged to9kil1 the project alto
gether.
The contest was brought up in the
house Tuesday afternoon by Repre-
sentative Cooper..of this district, who
raised a point of order against the
amendment to,the naval bill provid-
ing for the appropriation of $3.50, 900
to pay for the..site. He said that he
objected to the appropriation because
he was confident that the naval board
which hadl1ooked into the subject Of
selecting 'siteshadInot properly and
fully discharged its duty in the prem
ises. He ,ca11edaattention to the fact
that the sboard had not examined the
Racine site, and that some of the
members of the board had not gone
nearer than annie. to the property.
Lake Blufshas been recommended
| by the naval board but if the house
sees fit'to disregard it's recommends
ton eitherS Racine or Kenosha may
have a chanceIto get the station. The
sites offered in either city are better,
cheaper Iandsmore available than the
one selected in Lake Bluff and if the
selection is finally made on merit
either cityamay have chance.
A site at either Racine orr Kenosha
which more near1ys.conforms to the
plans and specifications drawn up to
guide the board in making selection
| can be purchased for $15O,O00 less than
the price asked for the Lake Bluff
property. sE@s 3

CANNED EGGS
ARE THE --LATEST
CANADA IS GOING TO SEND MIL
LIONS O FTHEM TO GREAT
BRITAIN.

LONDON, oct. 15.-"Try a sample Of
Ovo, pure fresh eggs. VIII keep fresh
for a year." is the startling announce
ment which was seen in the Canadian
section of the Grocers' Exhibition,
which closed this week.
In single year the Canadian hens
lay no fewer than a. 134, S02 dozen eggs,
In the form of "OvO" a preparation
containing the powdered white and
yoke of the egg minus the liquid, Ca
NADIA proposes to pot few superiluous
millions for British consumption Two
spoonfuls of water to one Of the pre-
paration, and a fresh egg is the result
and strangest and most wonderful of
all, the canned egg remains fresh for
year.
But "Ovo" is by no means the only
novel delicacy which Canada is seeking
to introduce to the British palate.
There are. for instance, canned Kuw-
ton berries, hubbard squash, and bot
tied hickory nuts. A ship-load OF
these succulent delicacies is now on the
way to England from the land of the
Maple.
Canada cans everything from cream
corn to pigs feet, both of which dam
ties will shortly be on the English mar
ket.
Another novelty with which Canada
hopes to tempt the British palate IS
orange meat" modestly declared to De
the only perfect food manufactured.
The future of the milkman too trem-
les in the balance By adding pint
of boiling water to "aolak" a whitish
powder, a pint of new milk is immedla-
tely obtained. Milk so poured IS
free from germs.
