Two Die from Dog Bite.

Greenville, S. c., Feb. s.
About three weeks ago the little
two-year-old son of Mr.. Farmer,
of Pelzer, was attacked by mad
dog. Mr.. Walter Griffin, a young
man who was standing nearby,
seeing that the dog had the little
child down, ran up and, knock
ing the dog off, picked up the
child and was taking ii to place
of safety, when the dog jumped
on him (Griffin) and bit him on
the leg.
Last night the little child died
at its home In Pelzer and this
morning Mr.. Griffin breathed
his last, both of them dying from
the effects of the dog bite. The
dog was fine, large dog, and
belonged to Mr.. Farmer, the fa-

Believes Children Have Taste.

One Boston matron who has theories
Of child culture undreamed of by early
New England says it is a great mis-
take to dress children on uniform lines,
but that they should be consulted as to
what they wish to wear and to exercise
their own taste in dress. The Boston
woman adds: 1.-THE thoughtful child Of
today appreciates what is good form In
dress and other things, and when lit.
tie girl gets to be half dozen sum-
mers or so her preferences should be
taken into consideration. It is a mis-
take for reproving elders to frown
upon any little fancy which does not
coincide with their own IDEAS" She
further remarks that, given an idea,
many of these geniuses Of the nursery
go ahead and improve upon it with a
cleverness that would put many dress
makers to the blush.

270 WERE DIVORCED
Special Representative of the Census
Bureau Finishes His Work Here

Walter H. Booth, agent of the
United States Census Bureau, has
completed his task of examining the
divorce records in the Kenosha Cir
cult court and his report shows that
during the last twenty years there
were 27G divorce suits filed in this
county. Of this number Ithere were
about thirty which pever went to
judgment and in the remaining cases
DEGREES were granted. The statistics
show that during the first ten years
the average was about seven or eight
cases to the year, while ins the last
ten years the average was consider
ably larger. The results of.sthe in
vestigation will not be published for
many months, but the information
will be sent to Congress at its next
session to be used Ia connection with
an effort to establish a uniform di-
vorce law for all the states in the
Union.
Mr.. Booth has been at work in Ke.
nosha for nearly two weeks and from
this county he will go over into Iii.
nois and begin work at Waukegan.
The number of divorces in this
county is one of the smallest reported
from the counties in Wisconsin.

Report Of Wisconsin Postoffices
Places Kenosha in Eleventh
Place Among State Offices
BIG INCREASE IN RECEIPTS
Office is One Of Five Advanced to First
Class Standing The Racine Office
Receipts Show a Big Fall
ing Off the Past Year

The annual reports of the govern.
ment in regard to the business done
at the postofices in Wisconsin has
been issued, and it shows that the
Office at Kenosha ranks 4 eleventh
among the cities of theHState. The
Kenosha office is one of the five slated
to be raised to first class with the
opening of the new fiscal year. While
the Racine postofice ranked second
in the State when the report was is
sued, it is also unique in that it is the
only postoffice in the..State in cities of
10000 or over where a decrease in
business is reported. During the last
year the receipts of the Racine office
fell off $12,65 The report for Keno
sha shows an increase during the last
year of $6y852. so. the total receipts for
the year just closedbbeing $41, 574.6
There are over 1880 postoffices in
the State, although since stne estab-
lishment of the rural free. delivery
service over 600 have beensdiscontin-
ued. There are over 200 presidential
offices among the number, sthat is,
Offices that. have reached $1,000 per
annum in gross receipts. In such
cases the appointments arei.made by
the president. The. lowest salary a
presidential postmaster receives is
81, 900 per annum.
The list of first class officessin the
State will be increased by FIVE, con-
sisting of Sheboygan, Fond du Lac,
GAINESVILLE, Kenosha, and Eau Claire,
making the whole number in.the State
twelve. To constitute first class
Office, it's receipts must exceed $40, 900
per annum.
Ever since Wisconsin was admitted
into the union, its postal service has
been profitable toa'the department.,
yielding considerably more than the
cost of the same.
The increase in receipts of the
largest postofices throughout the
State is a sure indication of the growth
and prosperity of the several 1oca1i-
ties. The following table shows the
business transacted by the various
postofices in the State in cities OF
10000 population or lover, for the cal
endar year 1906. Each one of the
postoffices shows good increase with
one exception. It may be truthfu1ly
said that all the postofices in the
State, during the year under consid-
Grafton, have shown theisame proper
tionate growth in receipts as indi-
Gated by the Offices mentioned, and,
if the figures we're at hand, it would
appear that postofhces, especially in
villages, show large percentage of
! increase.
