BOOST FOR RURALS
Rural Mail Carriers in KenOsha County
Are Given an Advance of $12O in
Salary by The Department.
SOME PRIVILEGES ARE ELIMINATED

Postmaster Charles Frantz received
of rural mail carriers in Kenosha city
and county had been advanced from
5000 a year to 500 year, and the in
crease was to go into effect with the
present month. The carriers affected
by this ruling in Kenosha are Robert
Maegaard, Charles Ho1derness and
Edward Dupons. Out in the county
there are twelve other carriers travel
ing from the different villages in the
county who will be affected by the
of the carriers in charge of a route
out of Kenosha, will receive ana in
crease of S102, this difference being
made from the fact that his route is
less than twenty-four miles in length,
aud the plan for the increase provides
that the maximum increase in salary
be given only to the men who have a
route twenty-four miles long.
With the notice granting the in
crease to the carriers the postmaster
has received a letter stating that in
the future the c ~rie-s will not be al
lowed to solicit for any company or to
accept subscriptions for any publish
ing concern, and their entire time
must be given in the future to the
duties of delivering the mail. Several
of the carriers in Kenosha county had
done quite business in the soliciting
line and not a few of them would have
preferred to have continued at the old
salary with the privilege of making
some money with soliciting as a side
line.
The carriers are now getting the
routes in good shape and the roads are
being put in splendid condition for
them.

The alleged managers of wild
act' insurance companies, who sat
back in their easy chairs and '1sassed"
the Insurance department Of the state
Of Wisconsin when threatened with
investigation and punishment by the
state Commissioner, are singing an
entirely different tune now that they
discover that the United States postal
authorities are after them. Each and
every one of them is willing to tell all
he knows, and possibly little more,
the minute the Postoffice Inspectors
nab them. They realize that it is
serious business when Uncle Sam
takes a hand IN the game, and there
is no dispositions to look upon the in
reference of the federal government
as anything of joke, as was the case
when the state went after them. And
they have good reason to be afraid.
The Postoffice Inspectors have been
working on the cases for months, and
it is more than probable that they
have secured enough evidence to
make some Of the promoters of "'wi1d
cat' insurance very sorry that they
ever engaged in the business. And
if any links in the chain of evidence
are missing any of the men now under
bonds would be more than willing to
furnish them. In fact, they are all
eager to turn states evidence. The
extent of the "wi1d cat" business has
astonished the Inspectors. The pos
tai authorities have discovered that
100 of these concerns are operating
from Chicago alone, and it is thought
that as many more are doing business
in the territory tributary to Chicago.
Unless the other managers take warn
ing and drop the business, the prose
cntions now under way are but the
first of long series. But if the
government is successful in the pend
ing cases, it is unlikely that many
more prosecutions will be necessary.
The business of writing "wi1d cat
insurance will at once become not
only Improbable but dangerous, and
few of the men now engaged in it
will care to continue and take the
risks.

MAY BE TWO TICKETS
LaFolIette Men Hope to Secure Nomina-
tion of Two Tickets in Kenosha County

11dE oA1eGt0 Men HOPE TO Secure NOmina-
ton of Two Tickets in Kenosha County
Republican aspirants for Office in
Kenosha county are being RECALLED
with the sweet morse1 that there will
be two Republican county tickets in
the field at the coming county cleo
ton. It is claimed that the followers
OF the Madison rump convention
which nominated La Toilette are out
IN the county making an effort to
work up sentiment in favor of a.
party split in Kenosha county. Of
course it is possible that such split
would pave the way for the election of
a set of Democratic county officials,
but this is not thought to be the case.
The battle over the state political
questions has been waged by the
Republicans of the county for several
years and it has always been an open
and above board fight so far as the
regular" element of the party is
concerned. This wing of the party
has not brought the matter into con-
sideration in making up states for the
coming county convention, but it
seems that the La Toilette men are
determined to wreck the party by their
rule or ruin policy.
There have been many candidates
proposed for the different county
Offices but thus far no man has a long
lead and the fight has been considered
an open one. There will be no boiling
IN the county convention so far as the
regular members of the party are
concerned, but it is more than prob
able that if the LaFo11ette men are not
permitted to dictate the ticket to be
named in the convention they will put
a second ticket in the field.
This action is being taken on the
advice Of the party leaders, who have
decided that they will either force the
people of the state to accept La Fol
letteism for another two years or else
place the Republican party tickets in
every county in jeopardy. There is
little reason to suspect that the Re-
publicans of Kenosha county will
stand for this sort of dictatorship and
the Governor and his managers will
| find out that there is hard fight in
store for them before the coercing of
Kenosha county is accomplished.

doing its work thoroughly and well,

evident that the commission was favor
ably impressed with the site offered

The six-year presidential term meas
ure, advocated by the National Bust
ness league, is being favorab1y con-
sidered by the Wisconsin commercial
associations. The reasons given by
the league for the abolition of the
four years and succeeding term laws
are as follows:
I. Presidential campaigns are too
frequent, are enormously expensive
to business interests, and keep the
country in state of turmoil and I'M
certainty most Of the time, to the great
disadvantage of both labor and cap
ita1.
2. Presidential years show increase
of business failures, decrease of ex-
ports, bank c1earings, stock sales, and
commercial transactions generally
3. Presidential campaigns indefn-
ite1y prevent the beginning and check
the growth of industrial enterprises.
4. The president, during his first
term, naturally being anxious to sue
coed himself, is kept busy considering
the demands Of politicians and plan
ming for a second term; meanwhile
important Legislation for the general
good waits.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AGAIN.
Cecil Davis, Formerly of This City, Tries to
Die In Milwaukee,

Cecil Davis, formerly of this city,
again tried to commit suicide Friday.
Cecil, who lives at 6O8 River street,
Milwaukee, is known to the police de-
partment of that city as showing the
best string of ATTEMPTED suicides
found in it's records.
Morphine and carbo1ic acid have
been tried by her time and again.
The department has long since given
up attempting to keep track of the
number of attempts. Whenever the
ambulance answers hurry cali it is
expected that Cecil has again at
tempted suicide.
The last trial nearly proved fatal.
Seized with one of her customary fits
of dependency, she walked to the
Chestnut street bridge at Z o'clock
last evening, watched her opportu-
nifty and jumped over the railing.
Two men pulled her out of the river.
The task was not difficult for Cecil
was willing to be rescued. She was
taken to the Emergency hospital.

The assessors did not take any
action in regard to the assessment of
the A. D. Meiselbach company on ac-
count Of the unsettled conditions at
that plant, but it will not be over
looked and it is probable that the
assessment will remain at the same
f1gures as last year and if anything
there will be slight reduction.
The work of assessing the real es-
tate is all completed and this list is
now ready for the consideration of the
Board of Review. To the members
Of the board the assessment is a most
satisfactory one and it is hardly
probable that many changes will be
made in it before it goes to the tax
collector. Few complaints have been
registered with the board.

POOR FARM rs EXEMPT.
Supervisor of Assessments Harrison Re-
lieves the City From Taxation.

County Supervisor of Assessments
w. H. Harrison mas announced to the
city council Of Kenosha that the Poor
Farm will be exc npt from taxation in
the future. The armour cement came
only after a sharp tilt between the
board Of review and the supervisor.
Two days ago Mr.. Harrison had or
dered the assessor of the town of
Somers to levy taxes on the city prop
erty, and when this determine ton
was announced to the members of the
board of review the members of the
board threw a bombshel1 into the
ranks of the county by declaring
that if the county insisted on taxing
the Poor Farm the city would levy an
assessment against the county build
ing, the jail and the court house.
This was getting little serious, and
Supervisor Harrison, after consider
ing the matter, withdrew the assess
ment. The board of review, on behalf
of the city, will now demand a rebate
of the taxes paid last year.
