SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Attendance at University of Wis
consin This Year is Larger
Than in Former Years
PUPILS FROM MANY STATES

''It can certainly be predicted that
twenty-five years hence larger per-
centage of those students who are
now waiting on table and tending fur
naces in order to obtain college
education will occupy positions of Dig
nifty and trust higher than those who
consider themselves the aristocracy of
the university" said President Char
les r. Van Hise, of the University of
Wisconsin, in addressing the under
class men at the first convocation of
the year Friday noon. "The efforts
necessary to gain livelihood while
pursuing a college course develop
the energy and resourcefulness es-
sential to success in life. While the
more fortunate financially are the
more conspicuous, the less conspicu-
Gus nine.tenths of the students are
the real university, for they are the
ones who are steadily doing their
assigned tasks, and are preparing
themselves for useful careers. Be not
mistaken on this point. The man for
you to emulate is not the man who is
a leader in social affairs, but the man
who is leader in his class work, in
the debating society, in the various
student enterprises which advance
the interests of the university as
whole.
"The university authorities re.
cognize no difference between the stus
dent who is earning his own livelihood
and the one who comes here with ample
funds. 1t is my hope, however, that
fraternal democracy may be main
tanned throughout the university. At
this time therefore I wish to appeal to
the older students and to those that
are in better circumstances to do
everything possible to make easier
the struggle of the less fortunate. If
you will utilize this opportunity by be-
coming acquainted with those who do
not have friends, who do not have
money; if you assist in making the
lives of others pleasant, you will be
performing a great service to the m
iversity and to the state. The line of
cleavage which sometimes appears be-
tween the more fortunate and the less
fortunate will disappear and the feel.
ings between the different groups will
not be those of enemies on the one
side and semi contempt on the other,
but mutual respect. These efforts
toward maintaining fraternal re1a-
tons will go far toward developing
those qualities of leadership essential
for the highest success.

IN Old Suffolk Fish Story.

Single street is some seven miles
from Oxford, where the fine old Nor
man tower still remains in which, ac-
cording to Ralph de Coggeshall, a
strange creature was once incarcerat-
ed. We are told ''that in the year
1880 near unto Oxford, in Suffolk,
certain fishers took in their nets a fsh
having the shape of a wild man in
all points He had hair on his mead
and long picked beard, and about tile
breast was exceeding hairy and rough,
which fish was Kept By Bartholomew
de Granville, the governor, in the cas-
tie of Oxford six months or more. He
spake not word All manner of
meats did he gladly eat, but most
greedily raw fish. 0ftentimes he was
brought to church, but never. showed
any sign Of alteration. AT length, be
ing not well looked to, he stole to the
sea and never was seen after Lon

The business of refining coat, which
Is SO often necessary, can be very sim
ply achieved in the following manner:
First remove half Of the old lining to
use as pattern by which to cut out
the new one, leaving the other half
stitched to the coat to act as a guide
The next process is to unpick the
piece of lining which has been detach-
ed. Lay it fat on the new material
and cut around the pattern, leaving
enough for turnings. Sew up the
seams, leaving the arm seam open. Lay
the new lining over one side Of the
coat and haste 1t into position, unpick-
ing the remaining half by degrees and
basting the new in its place

The new tags are different from any
ever used in Kenosh4 and they are
made from the same dies as the tags
used IN Keokuk, Iowa. Twelve hun

care of all the dogs in the city whose
owners will be willing to pay the
taxes on them.

TO ABATE NUISANCE
Government Orders City to Dis
continue Dumping Refuse
on Government Land
MUST GET NEW CITY DUMP

The United States government has
made protest to the city officials
against the city using land owned by
the government as city dump and to
this end Major Judson, engineer in
charge of this district, has sent a let
ter to Mayor German demanding that
the nuisance be abated at once. For
some time thel land on the Island which
is owned by the government has been
used as dumping place but protests
have been filed with the government
by the new keeper of the Kenosna
light. The letter of Major Judson
which is most explicit is as follows.
Milwaukee, Wis, September %,
1o07-To the Mayor of Kenosha, Wis:
Sir:-1 have the honor to address
you upon the subject of the dumping
Of garbage by the authorities of the
city of Kenosha upon land belonging
to the United States.
This land consists of strip vary
ing from pproximately Is to 20 feet
in width, adjacent to and above the
north pier at the entrance to the har-
Dor. The title to same became vested
in the Federal Government by virtue
of the following deeds:
/. From Frederick Mygatt, eft al:
dated Jan. 9, 1899; recorded in Vol. 46
of Deeds, page 431, records of Keno
sha county, Wis.
.. From zalmon G. Simmons and
wife, dated Jan. 9, 1899; recorded in
VOL AZ Of Deeds, page II, records of
Kenosha county, Wis.
3. From Geo. S. Baldwin and wife.
dated Jan. IS, 1899; recorded in Vol. AZ
of Deeds, page 8, records of Kenosha
county, Wis.
The metes and bounds of the land
are as hereby given:
"Part of the northwest fractional
quarter of section thirty-two 1927, in
town two ~, north of range twenty
three (23) east, and more particularly
described as follows: Beginning at
point where the section line between
sections thirty -one 1917 and thirty-two
1927, township and range aforesaid,
intersects the line of the channel face
of the revetment built along the north
side of the harbor entrance by the
city Of Kenosha; thence north on said
section line fourteen (14feet; thence

a dumping ground for refuse, causing
thereby much annoyance to the oc-
cupants of the U. S. Light Station.
Complaint was made to the health |

Detailed Report Of the Assessors
of the County Shows Many
Funny Things
WATCHES FEW N COUNTY
Most of the Towns Are ST.. depending
on Sun Dials To Tell Time of Day
Pianos Also Scarce In
the Rural Districts

The report of the County Clerk in
regard to the assessment of the county
is now completed and it shows some
remarkable facts III regard to the
personal property in the county. The
assessment seems to be decidedly
high In some of the towns but the
assessors in many of the towns seem
to have been blind insboth eyes and
the County Board should provide for
more assistance for the next year. 1t.
is evident that in some of the towns
the people are foxy and their pianos
were slipped into the cellar when the
assessor came around for heafai1ed to
find any trace of q piano in the towns
of Brighton, Bristol, Paris, Somers
ard Wheatland.
There is music in PleasautEPr
and the pianos were kept going at
such rate that the assessor managed
to locate IA of them there. Somers is
also noisy town and 10 pianos were
found there. In Kenosha the assess
ors found AS pianos. There was not
an organ or melodeon located in the
county.
The supply of watches in Kenosha
county is little short and the total
number was only %. Four of these
are in the town of Salem while the
rest are in Kenosha. All of them are
worth but 81, 500.
1t is surmised that in the seven
other towns the residents are still us
i ing sundials as chronometers. There
were 38 automobiles assessed in the
county and all save two are in Keno
sha. The assessors have been look
+ ing over the lists furnished by the
state ard the number will be larger
next year. The total value of the
autos is placed at $2O,50O. That as
SCISSOR in the town of Randall was busy
all the time and he managed to get
about to the ice houses and returned
ice to the amount of over hundred
thousand dollars. In the other towns
the assessors seem to have overlook
ed the big lots of ice stored and no
mention of it is made in the report
4 \ H~ NoAhC VI lAC duQ
merchants stocks in thes county is
placed at $3.752,261 and of this am
cunt So, 624, 321 is returned from the
city. Every town in the county, how
ever, makes some return under this
item.
The amount of the cash and secur-
tiles taxed this year shows an increase
over last year and the people now
have ready cash aud negotiable secur-
tiles to the amount of 81, 42O, $50.
The usual strange things are shown
in the value placed upon horses and
cattle in the different towns and it is
evident that it is about time that the
county found some uniform way for
the assessing of this sort of personal
property. AS to the assessment of
these animals and other articles the
record shows the following numbers
! and values.

A CONTEST FOR NEW MEMBERS
Y. NJ. c. A. Members Get Busy Oct. I.
The Gymnasium Opens on Monday

Y. NJ. c. A. Members Get Busy Oct. I.
The Gymnasium Opens on Monday
For the first ten days in October
the question will be, care you
"Red" or a "White" or "Blueu?
And most every man in town ought to
ce ready to stand up and be counted
as ole of these. The colors indicate
the three sides of the membership
contest that has been instituted by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. Messrs. Vincent, Buckmaster,
and Shippee are the leaders and sew
eral men have been lined up so that
the contest promises TO be a good one.
1t is reasonable to suppose that If
the Association is worth something to
the $50 men and boys who are at pre-
sent on the membership list it is
doubtless worth something to a great
many others. Anything that can be
done to inform men with regard TO
the worth of the organization ought
to be done. A contest of this sort
will do this perhaps better than any
thing else.
The gymnasium will open on Mon
day. The schedule is as follows:
Business men, Tuesday and Thursday
evenings; Seniors, Monday and Fri
day evenings; Intermediates, Tues
day and Thursday at seven O'Clock:
Juniors, Tuesdays and Thursdays at
four O'Clock; Sub-Juniors on Wednes-
day afternoon and Saturday morning.
A large number of men have enroii~
led for the free night school which
opens Tuesday evening. Men wish
ing to learn the English language
should be told of this SO that they can
be on hand at the beginning.
