ROBBERS ARE DARING
Waukegan Post Office Entered
and the Safe Robbed of a
Large Sum Of Money
ROBBERS EvIDENTLYEXPERTS
(From Tuesdays Daily

The Kenosha police this morning re-
ceived notice that one of the most dar-
ing post office robberies ever known in
this section Of the country was pulled
off at Waukegan sometime during the
night when professional burglars en-
tered the post once there, cracked the
safe and managed to get away with a
large amount Of money and stamps,
the exact amount not yet known to
the government officials. Postmaster
Watrous of Waukegan is busy checking
mp the finances Of the office, but up to
noon he had been unable to tell just
how much money and stamps had been
secured by the robbers, but the amount
will probably be in the thousands. The
robbery had evidently been carefully
planned and the execution Of the plan
was SO perfect that it was evident that
no amateurs had charge of the game
Ihe post office occupies one of the
large rooms on the ground floor Of what
is known as the Sleifel,4 block. Just
north of the entrance to the post Of
flee is an entrance to the rooms on
the upper floor of the building and this
entrance was used by the men in get
ting into the othce. The men went in
to this entrance and carefully sawed
away portion of the floor directly
over the closet N the room occupied
by the post office and after this open
ing had been made they just as deftly
sawed away portion Of the ceiling
OF the closet and let themselves down
through the two openings. They went
at once for the safe and It is supposed
that it was blown open with nitrogly-
cerin. The door of the safe was brok-
en- but the remainder Of the safe was
not wrecked. The men seem to have
taken their time about the work and
made a thorough search of the strong
box and took everything of value. They
made their escape in the same manner
as their entrance and the floor in the
upper landing was replaced so as to
ward off suspicion. It is thought that
the men have had plenty Of time to get
long start on the officials. The men
were so careful in their work that not
single clue was left behind Federal
officials were poured into Waukegan
from Chicago this morning and several
of them came to Kenosha to it'd some
trace of the men wanted.

BOOST EXPRESS RATES
Express Companies Plan Flat Increase
of Ten Cents on All Rates

Merchants yesterday had cold chills
followed by fever when they Learn ed
that beginning September 1st, the ex-
press rates between Chicago and Mil
waukee will be boosted ten cents fiat
on both "dry" and "wet" goods, to
use the ordinary express classification.
Kenosha is affected because it will
get the ten cent raise in common with
every other city between Chicago and
Milwaukee and when merchants real
lied this they at once experienced the
symptoms described above
The present rate on dry" goods,
which classification includes all goods
not perishable and not liquid in nature
is fifty cents, but it is to be sixty
cents.
The rate en- perishables, as such pota-
toes, fruit and such things, is also to
be raised, the ten cent raise being
made in each case.
Merchants are thinking seriously of
appealing to the Retail Merchants
Association to formulate a protest
against the rise in rates and unite
with Milwaukee and Chicago in max
ing howl.
The express companies simply shrug
their shoulders and state that they
have been carrying much freight at a
little profit, hence the rise

NOT TO GET BAIL
Harvey Wells Will Get His Medicine in
the United States Court This Week

Harvey 7. Wells, the Kenosha bank
clerk now in Jail at Milwaukee, await
ing trial on charge of classifying the
books of the First National Bank, will
probably know his fate before the end
of the present week. 1t is understood
that Wells will make no further effort
to get bail and that he is now anxious
to 60 before Judge Quarles and change
his plea and take ais medicine. Wells
has been bothered by Milwaukee at
torneys who have sought TO take his
case believing that the relatives of
Wells were wealthy and would make
hard fight to secure his liberty. It
is pretty certain that Wells will get
the minimum penalty for his act as
there is no desire on the part of the
bank or the officials of the United
States Court to urge higher penalty.

City Clerk Harrington Completes
Work of TabuIating Valuation
of Property in City
SHOWS INCREASE OF MILLION
Usual Strange Things are Shown in the
Return of Personal Property
Schedules by the Individ-
ual Tax Payers
(From Monday s Dailv)

City Clerk Harrington and his as
sistants this morning completed the
work of tabulating the annual valua-
ton of the real and personal property
Of the city and the total is some
thing Of disappointment as it shows
an increase of only little over a mil
lion dollars over the assessment of last
year and it was expected that the total
would be considerable above this
figure. Thu total value Of all property
il the city is placed at ST., 8O5, 526. Of
this amount 81, 306,75O is assessed
against the real estate of the city and
the personal property is assessed at
S6,498,776. Both the real estate and
personal property assessments for this
year are higher than in the previous
year, but the early reports had in
dicated that the increase would be
greater than it is. With a one per
cent levy the city funds will be $4,000
greater for the coming year than they
were this year.
The report Of the assessors will at
once be placed in readiness to return
to the secretary Of state and as soon
as the state report is made the books
will be copied in order to have them
ready for the city treasurer for the col
lection Of the taxes. Following the
usual rule the COLLECTION of the taxes
will start the last week in December
and under the state law the property
owners will have until the last Satur-
day in February to settle with the
city treasurer. The assessment will be
made by the Common Council at the
first meeting in December.
The report of the assessors this year
shows the usual number of strange
things in regard to the personal prop
erty, but it should be said that the
assessors have dug up a lot of personal
property which has been escaping taxa
ton in other years. The report shows
that Kenosha has $50 horses of a value
of $51, sos; 35 cattle which are valued
at $500; 675 wagons worth by conser-
7ative estimate $27,023; "a gold and
silver watches worth $1,365; 1873 pi-
amos listed at $14,755; and one organ
valued at $15.
The report shows that bank stock to
the amount of $155,00O is held by Ke-
nosha people and that the value Of mer-
chants and manufacturers stock in the
city is $3,625,52 The amount of
money returned for taxation this yea-
is larger than in any previous year, the
total reaching the large sum of
$2,3O1,953.
There is leaf tobacco stored in the
city to the value Of 1905; five steam
vessels are valued at $4,000 The
value of franchises in the city is plac-
ed at $205,000. There were 81 auto
mobiles returned for taxation and their
value was placed at $50, $50. One man
was foolish enough to return bicycle
and it's value is given in the report at
$25. The total value Of household
goods in the city returned for taxation
was $69,875.
While the report is not altogether
to the assessors and the
of assessments, it is certain
that the assessors have found more per-
sonal property than in any preceding
year and they are entitled to a great
deal of credit.
