Statistics of Personal Property
Tax in County Show Asses
SorS are Lenient
FEW PIANOS in COUNTY
Merchants and Manufacturers Stocks
Show Large Increase in Value
Over Preceding Years-Inter-
esting Statistics.

There are some interesting facts
in regard to the returns of per-
sonal property in the county which
have just been forwarded to the
secretary Of state by County Clerk
Crosby, and while the report shows
that the amount of personal property
returned this year is considerably
larger than it was last year, there
are some glazing statistics that show
that the assessors have come far from
putting IN all OF lie property owned
by the people in the county.
In the report it is shown that there
are 6,078 horses in the county and the
value of them is placed at $428, 465.
|, There are 20,647 neat cattle IL the
county having a value of $449, 93I
Of mules and asses there are AZ and
they are valued at S2,34O. The towns
of Wheatland and Paris report that
there is not single mule in either of
sheep and lambs in the county is
8,647 and their value is placed at
SIS, 818 while the number of swine is
only. 4,623. The report shows that
Kenosha has laid aside her swaddling
clothes and has become a city for
there is not single pig sly in the
city and the people are no longer
fattening the hog to kill for the
winter. There are 3,208 wagons and
carriages and their value is placed at
$73, $40.
The report on pianos and organs is
one of the strange things in the
statistics. It is shown that there are
217 pianos in the county and of this
number 200 are within the confines of
the city. The towns of Somers,
Bristol, Brighton, Wheat1and and
Paris have not piano in them and
neither have these towns an organ.
In fact it is evident that these towns
depend on the churches to furnish all
the music that is furnished. There
are only three organs in the whole
county and the two in Kenosha are
valued at but $35. The town of Salem
has one organ which is valued at 500.
The value of bank stocks in the
county is placed at $132, 500, while the
value of merchants and manufacture
ing stocks goes soaring to the large
sum of 50, 096, Sd. This is a notice
able increase over the amount re-
turned last year. It is claimed that
some of the assessors have regarded
| pianos aud organs as household goods
and therefore exempt from taxation
and this may account for the small
number that has been returned. It is
evident from this report that the per-
sonal property in the city has been
taken a good deal closer than in the
rural towns of the county. Of course in
some of the towns the personal prop
erty is not scheduled and some of this
may include some items that seem to
be overlooked.
The comparison of the figures from
this county with those of the sur
rounding counties show that Kenosha
people are not well up in the art of
tax lodging, for even with the small
numbers reported here the numbers
in some of the larger counties are
even smaller.

If the council does not intend to
enforce that dog license ordinance
against all dog owners alike it should
be repealed and the few license fees
already paid in should be refunded.
1t is not to be expected that one-tenth
of the dog owners will submit to be
taxed for license fee without kick
when the other nine-tenths pay not
the slightest attention to the ordi-

THE regular fight over the appor-
tionment of the taxes is about the on
ly excitement that ever livens up the
proceedings of the county board and
the fact that there is only small
state tax to be levied will probab1y
take most of the ginger out of that
this year.

1900 the control of the company of instruc-

officer of the Washington barracks to the
General Hospital.
Connection With School.
With the reopendng of the Army Medical
School in October. 1901, the hospital was
placed in direct connection with the school,
so that 1t could work with 1t and be utilized
for the clinical instruction of the students.
particularly In military surgical methods
and for teaching them hospital administra-
ton and the general details of hospital
management as they pertain to the mill
tary service.
According to DIR. Borden, the hospital will
be used for the following purposes: The
treatment of special cases, the training of
the enlisted men of the Hospital Corps for
nursing and for other duties for instruction
in connection with the Army Medical School
and. in case of war. to be expanded and
used as a base hospital.
In laying out the general plan Of the
grounds on which the Walter Reed United
States Army General Hospital is to be built
provision has been made for site for an
academic building for the Army Medical
School, and this the surgeon general OF the
army, Gen. O'Reilly, hopes may be appro-
priated for in the near future.

PLEADED FOR THE TROOPS.
Mrs. Terrell Asked for Further Con.
sideration of the Case.

Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of this city.
who Is member of the Constitutional
League OF New York, called on Secretary
TAFT at the War Department yesterday by
direction Of the league and begged him to
suspend the execution of the order dis
charging without honor battalion of the
18th Infantry at Fort Reno until the case
could be again submitted to the President.
She stated her case with precision and
effect. pleading that the colored troops be
given another opportunity to defend them
selves and asserting that they had not yet
had their side of the case properly pre-
scented.
In addition to this presentment from the
Constitutional League, the Secretary also
had before him telegram containing reso-
lutfons adopted by the republican county
committee of New York, also praying that
the colored troops be given a hearing and
that meanwhile the execution of the order
be suspended until the return of the Presi-
dent.
Secretary Taft listened with consideration
and interest to Mrs. Terrells plea He
pointed out that the action complained of
was not his own, having been taken in
his absence from Washington, and also
that 1t was a presidential order. He said
that he had already caused an inquiry to
be made of Gen. McCaskey, the department
commander at San Antonio, as to what
actually had been done toward executing
the order, and he further intimated that no
might communicate with the President
upon the subject.

teacher. makes the name doubIy appro-
pirate.
In the course of recent address be-
fore the Medical Society of the District
on the subject Of the new hospital, Maj.
w. c. Borden, surgeon United States army,
commanding the hospital. explained that
the term general hospital has in the
military service a special significance and
means hospital which Is directly under
the control of the surgeon general Of the
army.
Two Kinds Of Hospitals.
Aside from the special hospitals, such as
the field hospital established in time of
war. there are in the medical service two
kinds of hospitals. the post and the gen.
eral hospital. The post hospital, as ex-
planned by Dr. Borden. Is for the care of the
sick Of a military post or station, special
building for that purpose being erected at
each established military garrison. The
post hospitals do not. except In unusual
cases. receive any cases from outside nor
care for any other than those Immediately
attached to the station at which the hos
pital Is placed
The general hospitals. on the other hand,
are alike In taking cases from the army at
special regulations, and coming not only
from stations throughout the United States
but from Its territorial possessions. There
are in the United States at the present time
four general hospitals. OF these two are
special hospitals and two are general hos
pitfalls. In the accepted medical significance
of the term.
Admit All Classes Of Cases.
OF the special general hospitals one is at
Hot Springs. Ark, and the other is located
at Fort Bayard, N. N. OF the army
general hospitals which are general In. the
medical acceptance of the term and admit
all classes OF cases. one IL located at the
Preside, San Francisco. CAL, and the other
and immediate predecessor Of the Walter
Reed Army General Hospital Is located at
the Washington barracks In this city. Previ-
GUS to the Spanish American war there was
no general hospitals Of this character in the
army. During that war as Is usual in time
OF strife, number of large general hos
pttals were established, and OF these the
two mentioned have been continued since
that time
Soon after the hospital In this city was
provided another feature was added to II.
For several years detachment of enlisted
men of the Hospital Corps known as q
Company OF instruction" had been located
at the Washington barracks. This company
was used as school for teaching recruits
OF the Hospital Corps the elements of an

them for duty as nurses and for the field
