STATE AID FOR SCHOOLS
Amount This Year is ST. ,662, 36O-Num-
of Those of School Age is IT'S, 900

Amount This Year is S Il ,662, 36O-Num-
of Those of School Age is IT'S, 900
The state aid for the commons
of Wisconsin will be approximately
81, 662, 800 this year. This is an in
crease of $106,O12 over that of last
year. This state aid for schools is
made up of so-called mill tax, the in
come on the common school trust
fund, sale Of certain state lands, fines
for certain penal offenses, receipts
from sale of escheated estates, and
100000 from the license fees or
taxes paid by corporations.
The apportionment of the common
school fund is based on the number
of persons between the oges of 4 and
20 years in 'the state, the aid of each
district being determined by the mum
Der of such persons residing within
its limits.
Last year the number of persons Of
school age in the state was 773, 523,
and this year it is estimated at 785, 900,
an increase of II, 467. The per capita
apportionment of state aid last year,
based on the total number of persons
of school age in the state was So, Oh.
It is estimated that it will be $2.117e
this year.
The state tax commission recently
fixed the value of the general taxable
property of the state at So, 124, 800, 600.
A tax of seven-tenths of mill on
this would be 81, 487, 800 Of this
amount $500, 200 comes from the cor
poration fees, leaving 81, 287, 800 to be
raised by state tax, if one is levied.
1t has been figured out in the secre-
tary Of states offict that to raise
S1,z87, 800 on state valuation OF
S2,124, 100000, therate must be .605783
mills on the dollar. The amount of
taxes that Racine county will have to
pay $500 and Kenosha county

a Large Family


John Harrington. formerly city
marshall, chief of police and assessor
of the city, died at his home on Mil
waukee avenue just after II O'Clock
Wednesday night. Mr.. Harrington
was 76 years of age and death came as
natural breaking down due to ad-
vanced years. For the past two
months he had been falling very fast
and for sonae days he had been con-
fined to his room. The end was not
unexpected to the members of the
family who had been at his bedside.
I Among the politicians of the city
| few men had been better known than
Mr.. Harrington. He was the father
of City Clerk George Harrington, and
he had always taken a great interest
in the Democratic party in Kenosha,
being for years one Of the mainstays
and leaders Of the party.
| John T. Harrington was born in
London, England, June -, 1880. He
learned the trade of sailor early IN

years later he came to America to
live. He resided for few years at
| New York, Detroit, and Chicago, but
came to Kenosha in 1860, and had
since been a resident of the city. He
was closely connected with the lake
{ business ia his early years in Keno
sha, bnt in later years he worked as a
brewer and as a machinist For a
number of years he served as watch
man for the Balm Wagon company.
/ He early took an interest IN politics
and for many years served the city as
town marshall. When Henry Williams
was elected mayor of the city, Mr..
Harrington was appointed as chief of
police Of the department and he held
this office for two years. In 1895 he
was elected as a Democratic candidate
for assessor and held the office for
three succeeding years. In his Off
cia1 capacity he proved to be an
efficient officer always carrying out
his duties in conscientious manner.
Mr.. Harrington was twice married.
In 1852 he was married to Miss Mary
Kuntz, who died in 1867 and in 1869 he
! was married TO Mrs. Mary Dauben,
who died IN 1897. Mr.. Harrington is

FA MILY RE UNITED
Armenians Held by immigration
Officials in the East Permitted
to Come to Kenosha
WIFE FOUND IN GOOD HEALTH


The family Of Badros Antaramian is
reunited again, for after being threat
ened With deportion by the United
States immigration officials, the wife
and son of the Kenosha Armenian
have finally been allowed to come to
kenosha and they are now making
their home on Se1leck avenue. Ant
aramian is so rejoiced at having his
family with him again, that he has
not even told his attorney the steps
which were taken to secure their COM
ing to Kenosha and is satisfied to let
well enough alone.
The husband has resided in Keno
sha for some time and has been an
en1p1oye of the Thomas B. Jeffery
company. Mrs. Antaramian came to
America from Germany more than a
month ago, but when she reached
Philadelphia she was stopped by the
United States officials, who declared
that she was suffering from con-
tagious disease from the eyes and
refused to allow her to remain in this
country. 1t was about this time that
the husband reached Philadelphia ex-
pecting to bring the wife on to Keno
sha.
The woman was threatened with be-
ing sent back to Armenia and was
finally placed on board the steamer,
but she landed at a Canadian point
and returned to America seeking once
more to pass the inspectors. At this
time she was held for several days,
while the husband sought the in
huene of prominent men to have her
| admitted.
His efforts were finally successful
and his wife was allowed to come to
Kenosha. Antaranlian insists that
the inspectors we're at fault IN stop
ping his wife in the first place, as he
declares that she was carefully ex
amined at Marseilles and carried with
her a certificate from the physicians
that she was entirely free of any
disease of a contagious nature.
| 1t is claimed the wife of the Armen-
ian was taken with cold during the
| voyage which settled in her eyes and
gave them an inf1amed look, but that
she was not at any time suffering
from any diseases which would pre-
vent her to enter America.

SEEK YOUNG GIRL
Amelia Jensen, aged 10, Mystefi-
ousIy Missing From Home
in Town of Bristol
SAD ENDING OF A ROMANCE

Efforts are being made to find some
trace of Amelia Jensen, Danish girl
nineteen years of age, who disap-
peared from the town of Bristol on
last Sunday and the friends of the girl
fear that she has committed suicide.
The young woman had come to this
country from Denmark less than a
month ago and had been making her
home with Danish family near the
village of Bristol On last Sunday
evening the girl left the house stating
that she was going to church in
Bristol and this was the last heard of
her.
There is a sad story in connection
with the disappearance of sthe young
woman, which seems to give weight
to the theory that she has committed
suicide. When Miss Jensen came to
this county from Denmark she left
a sweetheart behind her and the
young man had promised to join her
in America within few weeks. On
last Saturday she received letter
from friends in Denmark, stating that
the young man had been killed by be-
ing thrown from a horse. All ar
engagements had been made for the
young man to come to Bristol and he
and the girl were to have been mar
ried in November. The girl had been
busy for the past month preparing
for the wedding and had planned to
go to New. York to meet her sweet
heart. After She received the letter
she seemed to be heartbroken. So far
as can be learned the young woman
had no relatives or friends in Ke-
nosha or cities iii the neighborhood
and her friends at Bristol can not ac-
count for her continued absence.
The clothing and personal effects
of the young woman are still at the
Bristol house. Every effort is being
made to find some trace of the girl,
but thus far the effort has been in
vain.
