KENosHA MAYOR SUED.
State Brings Action to Recover $3.50
on Tax Assessment.

on Tax Assessment.
Kenosha, Wis, Oct. A stir was
caused in political circles yesterday
when suit was filed in circuit court
in which the state is the plaintiff and
Mayor James German the defendant.
The suit is brought to recover a
penalty of $3.50. In the complaint it
is alleged that Mayor German, acting
as a member of the board of review
in June, 1905, fixed the assessment Of
the property owned by the estate of
Michael German at value less than
the true.
Mayor German was interested in
the property of the German estate
as he was one of the two heirs. The
suit has brought bitter feelings be-
tween German and Supervisor of AS
sessments Harrison, who is alleged
to be back of the suit. 1t is said that
Harrison is backed by leading Uaxpay-
ers of the city who are demanding
that the suit be carried to the SUI
preme court if necessary. This is the
| first suit of its nature brought under
| the Wisconsin laws. An effort will
be made to have it brought to trial
at this term of circuit court.

INTERVENTION
PROCLAMATION

Governor Taft's proclamation taking
possession of Cuba was as follows:
ITO the People of Cuba: The fail
ure of congress to act on the lrreVoca-
BILE resignation of the president OF
the republic of Cuba or to elect a
successor leaves the country without
a government at a time when great
disorder prevails and requires that,
pursuant to the request of Mr.. Palma,
the necessary steps be taken in the
name and by the authority of the
president of the United States to re-
store order and protect life and
property in the island of Cuba and
the islands and keys adjacent there
to, and for this purpose to establish
therein provisional government.
''The provisional government here
by established will be maintained
only long enough to restore order,
peace and public confidence by direc-
ton of and in the name of the presi-
dent of the United States and then to
hold such elections as may be neces-
sary to determine on those persons
upon whom the permanent govern
ment of the republic should be de-
volved.
insofar as is consistent with the
nature of provisional government es-
tablished under the authority of the
United States this will be Cuban
/ government, conforming with the con-
stitution of Cuba. The Cuban flag
will be hoisted as usual over the gov
eminent buildings of the island; all
the executive departments and pro-
vincial and municipal governments,
including that of the city of Havana,
will continue to be administered as
under the Cuban republic; the courts
will continue to administer justice,
and all the laws not in their nature
| inapplicable by reason of the tempo
rary and emergent character Of the
government will be in force. e.
president Roosevelt has been most
anxious to bring about peace under
the constitutional government of
Cuba. and he made every endeavor to
avoid the present step. Longer de-
lay, however, would be dangerous i'll
view of the resignation of the cab
met.
Until further notice the heads OF
all the departments Of the central gov
eminent will report to me for instrue-
lions, including General Alexandra
Rodriguez, in command Of the rural
guards, and other regular government
forces, and General Carlos Rolof,
treasurer of Cuba.
Until further notice the civil gov
errors and alca1des will also report to
me for instructions.
/ 81 ask all citizens and residents OF
Cuba to assist me in the work OF re-
storing order, tranquility and public
confidence"
! (Signed) William H. Taft,
Secretary of war.
United States provisional governor
| of Cuba.

But on stopping it and using Postum
instead, my heart has got all right,
and ascribe 1t to the change from

sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
