$4,000 STILL OUT
City Treasurer Finds Large Delinquent
Tax List With Completion of Work

City Treasurer Steinmetz has finally
completed his work Of making a report
on the amount Of delinquent taxes and
it is found that there is about twenty
thousand dollars of the tax levy Of over
$4,000 still unpaid. The Treasurer
completed his work Of casting up ac-
counts on Monday. He has made a set
Element with both the county and state
treasurer and all OF the taxes assessed
against the city by the state and county
have been paid. Money has also been
transferred to the school funds and
there is little over $500 Of the new
tax levy now on deposit in the bank.
1t is. expected that much of the $4,000
now out will be paid by the time the
books are turned over to the county
treasurer. AS yet the treasurer has not
received a check for the taxes of the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company but
it is expected that this will be forth
coming within few days.

Following the usual custom in this
city it is expected that the saloons will
keep open day and night including Sun
days from now on until election but the
proprietors should be warned by their
friends to keep little more quiet about
it. There is no use in Haunting this
open violation of the law in the faces
of people who object to this sort Of
thing and some of the men whose ac-
lions are being complained of should be
given the tip that they are not alto
gether immune from prosecution even
at this time. In the language of the
street their work is very coarse" and
that is what has always made most Of
the trouble for the saloons in Kenosha
Too many Of these people try to take
as q right what has been allowed them
as privilege and act accordingly.

narrow escape from death on Friday
afternoon at combination auction
sale held at the Pedley farm in the
town of Somers when he was attacked
by an Infatuated bull and butted and
knocked about until he was badly bruis-
ed and suffered the fracture Of one of
his arms. Wherry was leading the bull
when the animal turned on him Fort
untttely the animal had been dehorned.
or Wherry would probably have
been killed. The crowd at once went
to the aid of Wherry and after the bull
had knocked him down they managed
to get hold Of the animal and he was
led away. The incident caused great
excitement in the town of Somers as
Wberry is widely known in that part of
the country. While his injuries are
not Of a serious nature, his bruises and
broken arm will lay him up for some
time.

The Henry NJ. Simmons Memorial
Church procured Mr.. Wilhelm Middle

large and appreciative audience en-
ioyed some of the best music it has ever
been Kenosha s privilege to have.
Mr.. Middleschnlte is organist with
the Theodore Thomas Orchestra and I'M
questionaDly ranks among the greatest
musicians OF today. He plays with
marvellous skill and technique, together
with an understanding Of melodic beau
~ and dramatic effects often giving
the impression Of a full orchestra, vet
with each instrument distinguishable
one from the other. Indeed M. Mid
dleschulte possesses wonderful gift and
too perfect understanding Of all the
possibilities Of the organ.
The program varied, having some of
the more familiar organ selections Han
sells Largo and Beethoven s Creation
Hymn-and too exquisite numbers by
List. Mendelssohn, Bach, Schumann,
and Saint-Saeus. Mr.. Middleschulte
was most courteous and obliging, and
responded to the genuine and spontane-
Gus applause with some of his own com
positions and arrangements, one a

the utmost appreciation.
It was the first time Miss Adams has

most artistic type Her voice is So

1t is the fashion nowadays to damn
the organization in politics but you will
notice that it is the party with the best
and most active organization that wins
elections and in that fact lies the best
indication of the success of the Repub-
hcan party at the polls this spring. A
complete and aggressive central organi-
cation is being perfected supplemented
by sub committees in every ward and
a determined effort will be made to get
out the full vote and to put the issues
of the campaign and the qualifications
of the different candidates squarely be-
fore the voters. A full ticket is to be
put up in every ward and that will do
as much as anything to get out the vote
for the city ticket. The candidates
who are leading the fight in the strictly
democratic wards may have little hope
Of success for themselves, but they
have the satisfaction Of knowing that
the vote they get out will make a
mighty difference in the total vote on
the heads Of the ticket.

The following bit of advice from the
State Board Of Health may become
timely any day now.
During outbreaks Of the rabies in
community extreme measures are re-
sorted to and the unnecessary destruc-
tion Of many animals brought about.
Strict enforcement of muzzling is to be
recommended for period of sixty
days at least sitter the appearance of
rabies or after an animal is suspected
of having been bitten by rabid dog.
These extreme measures are carried out
in Great Britain and after thorough
application of this principle there was
not single case Of rabies from Novem-
Der 1899, to January 1st, 1901.
1t is necessary to emphasize the i'm,
portance Of not killing the suspected
animal; bit capture it if possible and
keep it confined for observation. IF
rabies develop the whole head should
be cut off close to the shoulders, packed
in ice and sent to the State Hygienic
Laboratory for exanination.-Bo of

A few more outbreaks from the anar-
chists and measures will be taken to
prevent this country being made the
dumping ground Of all the world and
men "who leave their country for their
country's good" will no longer be per
mitted to seek refuge here. The an
arcnist who murdered the Denver priest
had been in this country but two
months and a thorough investigation of
bis antecedents before he was permitted
TO sail for America would probably
have prevented that tragedy.

on account Of the way in which tobacco

Struggled to the prisoners. The trouble
comes mostly from italian prisoners.

men came to the jail and asked to be
allowed to sew some buttons on the
clothing of her husband and although
she was closely watched by the officials
when she had left the jail the prisoner
was found to be well supplied with to-
bacco and a pipe which he divided
among the other prisoners. This morn
ing an effort was made to work the same
scheme but the friends Of the prisoner
were refused admission to the jail.

Oficials in Favor of Teaching Children

Some of the Officials Of the city seem
to be very anxious to have new course
added to the curriculum of the High
School and this will be a course in the
reading Of gas and electric meters. At
the present time there seems to be a
demand for this course In Kenosha It
is claimed that the reading of meters
has been taught in schools of other
cities and that the children have found
the course an easy one and that their
proficiency along this line has been put
to practical use by saving gas and cleo
trio bills. The course could be easily
added as part of q course in physics
in the Kenosha High School.

Miss MaybeIIe Whitaker Named
as valedictorian for Senior
Class at High School
MISS HERGERT SALUTAT0RIAN
Annual Announcement of Honors
Among High School Students Causes
Interest at the High School
This Morning

The annual award of honors for the
four year course was made at the High
School this morning and as result Of
the announcement, Miss Maybelle
Whitaker is given the first honor and
the right to represent the class as
valedictorian at the annual commence
ment exercises. The second honor that
of being salutatorian at the commence
ment exercises was awarded to Miss
Clara Hergert. The third honor to
Laura Blood, the fourth to Harriet
Lewis and the fifth and last honor to
Eugene Shuart.
The announcement Of the honors
created a great deal of interest at the
High School and every student of the
school was present when the announce
ment was made There had been keen
rivalry between the students for these
high honors for the four years course
and for this reason the announcement
was awaited with even greater interest.
The four young sMomen and the one
young man have all been active in the
work Of the High School during the
past four years and all Of them are
rated high as students. The three last
honor students will have place on
the commencement program but they
will deliver essays and Grafton rather
than the opening and closing addresses.
The selection of the honor students
again emphasizes the fact that the
young women are doing better work in
the city schools than the young men,
In several years past all the high honors
have gone to the women students at the
school. The members of the class Of
1908 have already begun to make their
arrangements for the annual commence
ment exercises and the usual plan will
be followed. There will be the regular
commencement exercises on the third
Friday in June and in addition to this
there will be the class day exercises on
the evening before commencement. At
this time the Senior class play will be
presented. The play has not as yet
been selected but it is certain that it
will be some standard play.
The standing Of the honor students
as announced this morning was as fol-
lows.

The Illinois health officer who advo-
Gates the death penalty for ell persons
who knowingly and willingly expose
others to contagion goes too far but
the time is coming when such reckless
disregard Of the public health will
everywhere be regarded as criminal
carelessness and offenders in this re-
gard severely punished. There are laws
now in the statute books of the state
relating to the spread of dangerous in
fections or contagious diseases but the
penalties provided are net heavy enough
and the laws are very seldom enforced
