EPISCOPALIANS FAVOR
CANON ST. GEORGE.
Meeting at Racine, However, Took No
Action on Coadutor So Far as
Can Be Learned.

RACINE, Wis, Nov. 6.-tSpecial i
At meeting of the Episcopal clergy
men of this district here today no action
was taken, 50 far as has been made
public, regarding the report Of this dis
trict on the bishop coadjutor, who is TO
be elected November p at a meeting to
be held in Milwaukee. Dean Mallory
of Kenosha read paper and at 2:2O
o'clock this afternoon the clergymen left
for their homes.
None of the delegates here would state
who they would support at the election.
However, all stated that it was their
belief that Rev. Charles Colt of Balti,
more, Rev. John McGraw Foster OF
Boston and Rev. &. Officer of Princeton,
~ j., would not be considered at the
coming election.
There seems to be feeling among the
members who were here today that
Canon st. George of Nashota, Wis,
would probably be the candidate who
will receive the support of the majority.
Canon st. George refused to be inter
viewed.

BIG KENTUCKY REPTILE.
Its Trail Seen Once More on a Hardin
County Road.

The giant snake which is supposed to
live in the cliffs of southwestern Hardin
county has again made its appearance.
A few days since it crossed the Hardin
Springs road near Pole Bridge church,
leaving huge wriggling trail in the
dust two and one-half inches deep and
eleven inches wide.
This enormous reptile made its first sd-
vent in that section some fifteen years
ago, and since that time has crossed tie
public highway near the same point
twice every year once in the spring and
again in the early autumn. During this
time it has been sighted by a number Of
different persons, among them some of
the most reputable citzeps Of Hardin
county who uniformly describe it as /
monster reptile with its greht body, q
most as large as a mans waist, clock
cred over with spots of black and gray.
and estimated at twelve or fourteen feet
in length.
At no time has it ever shown fight or
appeared to so much as notice the pres
ence of those who have seen it, except
on one occasion several years ago, when.
being suddenly encountered by some
hunters in the thick underbrush rear the
roadside, the serpent shook its mammoth
head with expanded jaws over the tops
of the bushes, and the panic-stricken
hunters scampered away.
Some years since it was seen on one of
its semi-annual prowls by S. +. Eaber
of Ver.rees, one of the prominent farm
ers of the county, when it crossed the
road just in front of his fourhorse team
and became entangled in a rckety old
fence, houndering off several rails in its
efforts to disengage itself. 1t has been
noticed that this great serpent crosses
the country road to westward every
autumn, and it is supposed to have its
habitation in some of the numerous
large rugged and cleft rven cliffs or deep
caverns that abound in the region of
Hills MILL on Rough creek, perhaps hi
bernating in some covert abode, whence
it issues forth at certain periods accord
ing to its serpentine habits.-Elizabeth-

ROADS MAKE NEW ATTACK
More Suits Are Entered Agai-st Ad
Valorem Tax Law-Companies
Claim Illegal Rates.

MADISON, Wis. Nov. 1-Follownc
the states legal victory over the rail
roads on the ad valorem taxation law of
1903, the corporations filed suit against
Treasurer kcmpf and the other state Of
bccrS, resisting the payment of the sec
Cnd assessment under that law.
The roads attack the law of 1908 on
substantially the same grounds rs raised
in the suit decided for the state Satur-
day. One additional point is made. II
is claimed that in some of the local tax
ing districts the rate of tn ltou was
greater than the limit set by law and
therefore the tax and assessment in
those districts were unconstitutional, il
legal and void.
The amount of the tax of the North
Western for the last assessment which
is resisted by the new suit, is SOIL
S23,T3, this sum being the Increase by
the I'D valOrcm law over the amount of
the license fee system.
The amount in litigation by the Mil.
waukee road is $3.50, 59J.44, and of the
Illinois Central, ST., 943.34.
The Wisconsin Central and the Great
Northern railroads have paid State
Treasurer kempf the amount by which
their taxes for the last year were i'll
creased by the ad valorem law over the
old system.
