KENOSHA STAMP
Government May Issue Specia
Stamps to be Used in Sending
Mail Out of This City
WOULD ADVERTISE THE CITY

The intimation was given out some
time ago that the postoffice depart
ment had the object in view of giving
to some of the presidential postoffices
numbering upwards of six thousand,
distinctive postage stamp. The idea
was to issue such stamps as recogni-
ton Of amount of business done, and
at the same time, these distinctive
stamps would afford means of assist
ing in uncovering crookedness of all
sorts. It was not thought at the time
these special stamps would be issued
to ali offices of the presidential order,
only to the larger ones, but Wash
ington dispatch says these will be is
sued to all postoffices where the post
master is appointed by the president,
which will of course include Kenosha.
The plan is to commence 1907 with
these special honors, and our citizens
may confidently expect in few weeks
to have the pleasure of adding extra
efforts to patronize their home post
office that these Kenosha stamps may
be used on their mail matter.
An individual stamp for the Ke-
noshe post Office would be a great adj
vertisement for the city, but its value
further than as an advertisement is
not apparent. Kenosha uses almost
as many stamps as any city in Wis
consin outside of Racine and Mi1wau-
kee and were it not for the Shoop bas-
mess in Racine, Kenosha would be
decidedly close to that city. The new
rule which gave the users of the Office
the right to pay IN cash, has cut down
the actual sale of adhesive stamps in
the city but these sales are of course
credited to Kenosha as stamp sales.
Quite number of these permits have
been issued to Kenosha factories and
their use is becoming more. general
every month.
The semi annual report of the Ke-
nosha Office, which will be issued the
first of January will show that the adj
vance in the business of the Office is
enormous.

DEFENDS FIGURES,
Supervisor of Assessments Harri.
son Tells How Apportionment
Was Made by the Board
MADE PERSONAL INSPECTION

There is some inquiry as to how the
County Board arrived at their equali-
zation values for the different dis
tricts. Under special forms B and d
on page II and is Of my annual report
you will find the true values carried
spection on page II, form B and by
sale values for three year prior TO
May IA, 1909, on page IL, form D.
The true values obtained by each
method were added together and the
average or one half of said amount
was taken as the true value of the
real estate in said district, the true
value of all personal property in said
district was added to said real estate
and the amount was taken as the true
value Of all taxable property in said
district. Each district was carried by
same method and on the same basis
which method has been followed the
past four years including this year.
Three years ago your Board eqalized
by taking rs per cent of said amount
two years ago 20 per cent, one year
ago, 65 per cent and this year so per
cent of the true value found by the
supervisor. If you will consult my
report of 1905 and 1906, you will find
all districts have been raised. The in
crease for new Improvements is much
the largest in the city district, Pleas
ant Prairie End, Somers 3rd.
The city district has an increase of
81, $40, 900 out of the factories in addi-
tiop to what they had heretofore on
personal property, and the town of
Randall lost $44, $50 on intangible per-
sonal and less ice put up, and $4,000
fer shrinkdge on ice house, which
shows that that district has large
boost.
I have furnished you an impartial
equalization between the districts and
| have the facts and figures to show
it. 1t is not surprising that the city
district should increase in value with
more rapidity than the towns. Your
city district is very unequal, ranging
from 40 per cent to lis per cent, and
your taxes are liable to be tied up by
an injunction Oh the grounds of being
assessed at different degrees of
valuation.

SEASON rs TO CLOSE EARLY
Lack of Freight Cars Causes Marine
Season to End


Lake navigation for the season Of
1906 will close earlier than usual.
There are several factors tending to
this decision on the part of vessel
owners. The shortage of freight
cars has been severely felt by marine
interests this autumn, and the early
freezing in the mining regions at the
head Of the lakes has frozen ore in
the piles so that it is difficult task
to load boats.
The remaining two weeks of the
season will witness great rush of
boats with coa1aargoes. Many of the
boats will return light to the lower
lakes in order to take on coal.
Navigation on the Erie, canal has
closed for the season. Shipments
this year show considerable falling
off. Owing to the new barge canal
few new boats are being built. During
the season 142, 2O7, 440 feet of lumber
we're shipped east over the waterway,
as against Isl, 194, 249 feet last year.
Many of the lumber carriers are on
their last trip. Nine vessels have al
ready been laid up for the winter at
Tonawanda. They are the Fred A.
Meyers, Oceanica, Veronica, barges
Holland Moravia, Hutchinson, Wall
Bacon, Brightie, Teutonic and

ASK FOR GENE Terry
kenosha Cemetery Association
Proposes TO Take Burden From
Shoulders of Aldermen
TO IMPROVE HOME OF DEAD
City CouncilEand Trustees of Cemetery
Association to Meet on Dec.
to Consider the Transfer
of the Cemetery

The Kenosha Cemetery Association,
recently organized under the state
laws, has made formal proposition
to the city of Kenosha to take upon
the association the care and mainten-
ance of the Kenosha city cemetery
and the matter is to be discussed at a
meeting of the members of the Com
mon Council and the trustees of the
Cemetery Association to be held at
the city hall week from tomorrow
night The proposition to turn the
cemetery over to the new association
who was very influential in the
formation of the Association. The
trustees of the new organization have
carefully considered the matter and
they believe that they will be in a
position to provide better mainten-
ance for the resting places of the
dead than the city would be and the
Association is ready to assume the
burden. The trustees of the Associa-
ton have made a preliminary canvass
of the city and have found that the
people Of the city are going to take
an intense interest in the work of the
Association and they believe that they
will have no trouble in securing funds
for the work.
In stating his proposition to the
members of the City Council Mr..
Gonnermann stated that many i'm
provements we're needed at the GENE
terry, and that it would be the aim of
the Association to provide for these
improvements just as soon as posi-
BILE. He suggested that it was plan
ned to erect stone posts and put an
iron fence about the cemetery, and
also to provide for the cnrbing of the
streets to the north and west Of the
cemetery.
If the cemetery is turned over to
the Association the, entire care will
be taken over by the trustees of the
Association, and the city will have
no longer any charge of it. The As
ISOLATION would practically own the
cemetery, and would issue such lot
certificates as would be necessary
and take steps to secure ground for
the enlargement of the cemetery.
It is thought that the Association
will be aided in the work planned by
the members of the Out Door Art AS
socia ton, as long ago this Associa-
ton decided to make its first work the
improvement of the cemetery.
The trustees of the organization
hope to be able to start the improve
ments at the cemetery early next
year, if the Council decides to turn
the cemetery over to them.

nine hundred students in the depart
ment to which Miss Dewey belongs,

this important work, shows the high
honor that has been conferred upon

Thomas Hogan Well Known 10 the
Town of Bristol Meets In
usual Death Sunday
Details of the Death of Well known
Farmer Shrouded in Mystery.
Long a Resident of
This Section

Thomas Hogan, a farmer we'll
known among the people of Bristol,
met an unusual death at his home
just over the Bristol line in the state
of Illinois on Sunday afternoon, when
he fell from q hay loft in the barn
and death resulted from the injury
The death of the we'll known farmer
is shrouded in mystery as no one saw
his fall, and the first indication that
his relatives had OF his injury was
when the unconscious form of the man
was found on the barn floor.
1t is supposed that Hogan had gone
to the barn to get some hay for the
horses. a ladder connected the floor
with the hay loft, and it was evident
that he had gone to the loft and had
thrown down quantity of hay. 1t is
supposed that he started to return to
the ground floor of the barn by way
of the ladder and that he slipped and
fell striking his head against the
wheel of buggy. When his brother
returned home from Russell just after
five o'clock, he found his brother 1y-
ing unconscious on the hay on the
floor of the barn. The injured man
was unconscious and he was at once
carried to his house and restoratives
applied, but he failed to regain con-
seriousness. DIR. Young was sum
moned from Russell but he was I'M
able to do anything for the man.
Neighbors seem TO believe that Ho-
gan was already dead when he was
carried from the barn to the house.
An examination of the remains failed
to reveal the fracture of any bones,
and the only wound found on the body
was a small abrasion on the head.
The skull was not fractured and it is
supposed that the abrasion was pro-
duced by the man striking his head
against the buggy wheel. The re1a-
tives of the man seem to think that it
is possible that he was stricken with
apolexy and that he was practically
dead when he fell from the ladder.
Hogan had been subject to heart di-
sease.
Thomas Hogan was about fifty
years of age and had been born and
raised on the farm where he met his
death. He was unmarried. Tor
years he had been we'll known among
the farmers of Bristol.

V0LIVA is A DESPOT
0yerseer Of Zion Proposes a Rule
or Ruin Policy at Meeting
Held Last Sunday
WANTS JOB TO BE A LIFE ONE.

Z Unless Wilbur Glenn Voliva is rec
ognized as general overseer of the
Zion church for life, he will abandon
the present unsettled affairs of the
Zionites to their fate and reorganize
the church.
'sVoliva made this threat at the con-
sclusion of an exciting meeting held in
the tabernacle at Zion City on Sun
day afternoon. Developments of a
spectacular sort followed each other
rapidly throughout the session.
The general overseer at the con-
c1usion of the routine of the meeting
presented his new plans for the gov
eminent of Zion. They were not
quite the same as when presented to
the Chicago Zionists last Thursday
evening, and clause had been ad-
ded by Voliva, which read as follows:
szion is theocracy. This means
God selects leader who serves for
life, and that through him God selects
his successor. This leader of Zion
will be known as general overseer."
Chief Councillor Barnes of Zion i'm
mediately arose in protest against
this. HeNsaid the clause was not in
the plans he had voted for ard that it
violated an express agreement IL
writing made during the caucus of
Aug. Is, at which Voliva was select
ed. At that time, he said, Daniel
Bryant, overseer of Africa, withdrew
his candidacy for leadership of Zion
under an agreement that Vo1iva
should be elected only to serve until
Aug. IS, 1907, when a new overseer
should be appointed by conference
of representatives from all over the
world.
Animated discussion followed, last
ing for two hours, IN which Vo1iva
took an active part.
ST will not admit he said, "that I
am overseer by virtue of election, nor
will admit that there is another man
in Zion who could fill the place. Every
hand raised against me will go down
in destruction, and no petty coterie of
jealous plotters can GUST me-"
Then he threatened to leave and re-
organize the church.
IF have to reorganize the church
/ would rather do it now than six
months hence" he declared.
& When further opposition to the
clause was manifested he held up the
document in dramatic attitude and
exclaimed heatedly: eff this is going
to stir up such dissatisfaction and re-
5ellion. will tear it to shreds and
trample it under footR'
mo, no! Don't do that, were the
cries from the audience, and Vo1iva
re1ented.
He announced that he would give
his followers until next Sunday to-
accept the clause, and that the matter
would be decided at a meeting in the
tabernacle next Sunday afternoon.
Voliva also stated during the meet
ing that Overseer William H. Piper
of Chicago will be expelled by him
unless he promptly comes to time. !"

FEW FILE ACCOUNTS
Election Expenses at Recent General
Election Coming in Slowly

The old delay in the fling of cleo
ton expenses of candidates for Office
is being seen again at the county
building, and while only few days
remain for the accounts to come in,
but three have been filed. 1t is
thought that the politicians have been
sufficiently impressed with the law
that they will observe it to the letter.
The candidates under the law must
have these accounts filed with the
register of deeds within month after
the date of the election.

AMIN IS RENAMED BY COURT
Continued from PAGE III,

a judgment was entered subsequently
II could not relate back and antecede
the sentence, and in such case judg-
ment had been rendered without the
defendant being present.
With regard to the point that the
question asked Amin was immaterial,
Humphreys stated that the record
showed that the Grand Jury was inves.
tigating the case of John Doe, charged
with maintaining lottery, while the
question asked was whether Amin was
maintaining gambling game, which
was certainly immaterial. Humphreys
also touched on the point of the ques-
ton being discriminating, and the un.
constitutionality of the statute in the
matter.
When Judge Humphreys had closed
tho Court told Milverton that 1t desir.
ed to hear him argue on the first point
only.
Milverton went on to show the judg.
ment signed by Lindsay. which found
him guilty Of contempt and sentenced
him to Imprisonment. He held that
the record which showed that punish.
ment had been imposed would also
show that the defendant had been
found guilty, and that in cases of di.
rect criminal contempt II was not nee.
essay that the defendant be present
when sentence was imposed.
Frank Thompson rose to make the
closing argument for Amin. when the
Court declared recess until D. m
