BACK TO OLD SCHEME
Records Of Vital Statistics To Be
Filed With Register Of Deeds
After September First.
RECORDS TO BE KEPT INTACT
Future Divorce Records of the Circuit
Court Must be Placed on File in
the Office of the Register
Of Deeds

After the first of next September a
new system for the registration of vital
statistics will be inaugurated in all of
Che counties Of the state and Register
of Deeds p. G. Torrey has received a
copy Of the new law which is already
6n effect and which was passed at the
argent demand of people in all parts
of the state. The new law provides
tor, the filing of the vital statistics in
the various counties as we'll as with
the State Department of Health at
Madison and the passage Of the law
was strongly urged by the members
OF the County Board OF Kenosha
county. Under the law the local
health officers are required to file with
the register of deeds, as we'll as with
the state health department, records
OF all births, deaths and marriages and
in addition to this the proper officials
OF the county are required to file with
the same official a record of all di
vorces granted in the county and of all
accidents which occur. The feature
of fling the record of divorces is a
new one and it is one that will make
it possible for the officials in charge
of the issuance of marriage licenses to
keep track Of divorced couples.
There is a radical change in the new
law in regard to the registration of
marriages as under the new law the
minister or court official performing
the marriage ceremony is permitted to
keep the original license and this Ii
cense is to serve as warrant for his
authority in performing the ceremony
Under the present laws these licenses
are returned o.the register Of deeds or
The local health officer. The usual
return of the marriage must be made
as in the past These records of mar
riages, births, accidents and deaths are
not recorded by the register of deeds,
but they are placed on file in his of
fee and this file is supposed to be kept
for an indefinite period. The state
health department. in order to make
the records in the county Offices com
plete will be forced to send to each
county copies Of all records filed with
the state during the past two years.
During this time these records have
not been filed in the various counties
The register Of deeds under the new
law is to receive a fee of ten cents
for each one of these records filed and
the doctors and ministers receive the
same fees as In former years for MAX
ing the reports to the local health
officials.
The new law, in common with all
laws for the changing of the manner
for fling vital statistics, will make
some trouble for the officials for the
first few months after it goes into
operation, but it is expected that it
will be working smoothly before the
end' of the year and that the change
in the method of fling the records will
be one that will meet the approval of
che great mass of the people. With
this law in operation the records of
Kenosha county along these lines will
be kept complete and they will be open
for the inspection of the people of the
county at any time.

GETS $40 FOR DOG

The first jury sitting in the Munich
pal Court returned verdict late Fri
day, afternoon giving Ben Pas dam
ages from Nicholas Reiter in the sum
of $40. This will probably be the end
of the so-called dog case The
case was the first to come before the
Municipal Court and this is the second
trial to follow the slaughter of the
Pas dog. In his suit the boy had de-
manded damages in the amount of 5000
but the jury held that the tenth of the
amount asked was sufficient to com
pensate the boy for the loss Of his
canine.

Assessors Will Be Satisfied if the
Assessment This Year Reaches
Figures Made in 1903
HARD LUCK HITS KEN0SHA
Library Needs Repairing and Board of
Commissioners May Not be Able
to Return Any of the
Funds Appropriated

The assessors of the city have now
got well started on the work Of MAX
ing the new assessment for the year
and the preliminary work indicates
that there will be no large increase in
the assessed valuation of the property
of the city of Kenosha this year. In
deed, the assessors will be satisfied if
the total amount Of property returned
for taxation this year is equal to the
amount returned last year. There has
not been large number of buildings
erected in the city since the last assess
ment was made and it is limited that
there may be quite falling OFF in the
personal property returned for taxes
this year. It is expected that the real
estate assessment will show small in
crease, but this increase may be nolled
by the falling off in the personal prop
erty. The assessors have completed
the work of copying the transfers of
real estate and are now making per
sonal visits to the property Of the city
to fix the value as provided by the
law.
Members of the Council had hoped
that there would be a big increase in
the assessment this year. as such an
increase would aid materially in solving
the problem Of providing funds for
next year. It never rains but it pours
in the city financial situation and it
is beginning to look as if heavier
drain would be made .on the city next
year than was made this year and in
order to meet this demand it is certain
that the rate Of taxation will have to
be raised. The state tax for the com
ing year will be heavier than in any
previous year since 1902 and in addi-
ton to this a large sum will be de-
manded for the county and school
taxes. The county taxes will ur
doubtedly be abnormally high on &C
count of the fact that the jail is to
be rebuilt
Just at present the city is getting
close to the red ledger in rs bank
account and it is just possible that
the Council will have to find some way
to raise funds before the first Of July
when the license money becomes avail,
able.
The total amount Of the money col
lected for licenses will not be avail
able to the city as, if the Austin Bill
is passed, and it looks now that it will
be, the city will have to set aside three
per cent Of the license money to aid
in paying the expenses Of the State
Commission. Added to this it is
limited that the Board of Commissioners
of the Gilbert M. Simmons Library
will not return any money to the city
this year. For some time the com
missioners have been considering plans
for repairing the library and it is pos
sible that this work will be done yet
this year and if this decision is reach
ed nothing will be returned from the
appropriation made by the city. The
Council had counted on return of
$4,000 from the library fund.

Ionly~for rentals, clerical help at head
quarters or homes Of candidates, or
managers, the printing and distributing
of campaign matter; newspaper adver-
Using and travelling expenses.

and district committees, but no legis-
Flative candidate shall contribute to
state central committees. Detailed re-
ports of the receipts and expenses
shall be made every week during the
general campaign. Every manager
must file his appointment before spend
ing money and shall also make weekly
reports by proper officers No commit
tee or manager shall accept single con
tributions of over $780, Nc contri bu-
lions shall be received from non-resi-
dents of the state or foreign corpora
tions. Every person spending over
$50 shall file reports with the county

vertising shall be marked up ahead in
plea capitals "paid advertising" with
amount paid and who by. Violations
are made felony punishment by jail
sentence Of one to six months or state

ton of the court
After the primary no candidate for
United States senator shall spend
money except for personal use to
travel, postage, etc. He shall not at
tempt to influence elections to the leg
islature except. by payments to the
central committee. He shall not con-
tribute to fraternal or other organiza-
tions except by dues and church Sun
day collections. The penalty is one
month to one year in prison besides
disqualification.
The bill does away with all election
workers of every character. All cam
paign literature must bear the names
of the person sending trout.
No refreshments shall be given or
taken for influence. Newspapers print
ing political editorials must print the
names of their stockholders. Viola
tions are punishable by from six
months in Jail or one year in prison.

4rson can have a place on the ballot
and is disqualified for the office if he
has not fled statements of campaign
expenses before election as prescribed
Party committees can fill vacancies
caused thereby. The proper officers
shall notify candidates of failure to
file expenses and also the district at
torney, who shall prosecute for failure
to file. Violations are made a felony
punishable by from one month to one
l. year in Jail or from one to FIVE years
in prison.
