thirteen mill levy will have to be re-
sorted to. With one mill levy for
next year the city could raise
|$1S6,615.8o and this added to the
amount received from other sources
would give the city total of nearly
$4,000. An increase of three mills
on this levy woufS provide an add
tional $4,000 which would be suf-
fcient to pay for the building of the
city hall and meet the demand made
for the new trunk sewer for next year.
This would make it necessary for the
Council to limit all other expenses to
a minimum III order to meet these de
mands. This would count on an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the new
sewer. The Council will of course
face a deficit at the end of the fiscal
year and this will have to be paid out
of the new tax roll. 1t is possible
that this deficit will reach close to the
fifty thousand mark and may be above
this sum. If this is the fact it will
be hard matter for the city to pro
vide for the running expenses of the
various departments for the new year
with even levy of thirteen mills.
This has been regarded as the limit
levy in Kenosha and it is not thought
shat the finance committee will recon-
mend any increase above this amount.

commander from Kenosha will take

Promotion has come rapidly to Lieu
tenant Commander Theleen and he IS
now one of the youngest if not the
Youngest officer of his rank in the
navy. He was graduated from the
Kenosha High School and later was

Graduating from the naval academy Just
at the opening ofethe war with Spain
he went aboard the Texas and took
part in the Spanish American naval
fights as an officer on that ship. Later
he was transferred 70 the BROOKLYN
naval yard where he remained as an
instructor of the recruits for mum
Der Of years when he was again as
signed to active, service. He has
made several world trips and has seen
a great deal of the life Of the navy.
He has always been one of the most
popular officers Of the mess and his tro
motion to the high rank is a popular
one with his fellow officers.
Mr.. Theleen is son IF Mr.. and

Total Assessed Valuation of
Propertysin .kenosha This
Year Reaches S1S,661,585
SHOWS INCREASE OF s86l,05s
With Levy the Same as Last Year the
Tax Roll Will be, Increased by Lit
tie Over $4,000, but Higher Rate of
Taxation is Certain.

City Clerk George W. Harrington
this morning completed the work Of
making up the figures for the assessed
valuation Of the property of the city
for the year 1909 and the completed
report shows that the total assessed
valuation is greater than at any former
time in the history of the city. The
total figures reach the high sum of
I$18,661 $50 and the increase over the
total of last year is $S61,059. The
personal assessment for the year 1909
lis $6,S20.815 and the real estate
$11,840,77O. Last year Thea figures
were: personal $6,493,776, and real
estate, $11,3o6,750 The report shows
an increase in the assessment Of real
estate and improvements Of more than
100000 while the increase in. the per-
sonal assessments is a little less than
$4,000.
The assessment books are now ready
to be turned over and before the end
of the present week the city clerk will
make his annual report of the assess
ment to both the state treasurer and
the county clerk and the next step in
leyying the taxes for next year will be
the report of the finance committee.
While the increase in the assessment
would make an increase in the taxes
of $S,610.59 with the same rate of
taxation as last year it IS certain that
this small increase Will not provide
the revenues needed to meet the de-
mands Of the city and the france com
mittee already feel certain that the per
cent of taxation will have to be raised.

TO GIVE RUSH SERVICE
Postal Telegraph Go. Establishing a
Service to Connect Largcc Cities

The Postal Telegraph company has
inaugurated special rush service be-
tween sixty-six of the principal cities
of the country for the handling Of bus
mess between a. m. and p. M. The
new service applies only to business
messages collected for transmission in
one city for delivery in business sec
ton of another.
A checkup Of business handled be-
tween the special rush service points
shows the average time consumed In
handling the telegram from operator
to customer from eighteen to twenty
two minutes. The time of delivery be-
tween Chicago and New York, Chicago
and Boston, Chicago and SanFrancisco,
Chicago and Denver, and Chicago and
Buffalo, has been materially reduced
and now averages from ten to fifteen
minutes.
The large cities, including those on
the Pacific coast, the far west, middle

TROUBLES OF A PARTISAN.

Washington Lads Sad Fate In .
Political StFuggle.
To maintain allegiance to a polit1-
cal party In the face of an overwhelm-
ing majority, backed by force of arms,
requires a sturd1ness Of conviction I'M
usual In this day and generation. Such
a thought Is impressed firmly upon
the mind Of the 10-year-old nephew Of
Nelson Conrad, chief inspector of the
Washington health department.
Mr.. Conrad's small relative engaged
actively In the recent campaign,-which
waSsd with force and vigor in the JEFF
ferson school. and which resulted In
the election Of the peerless leader by
4 majority exceeding the expectations
Of his staunchest supporters.
The boys own inclination was to-
ward the Democratic candidate, but
his father Is q Republican and, yield
ing to parental solicitation, he deposit
ed N the day Of election a ballot for
Taft
This fact was not only discovered,
but deeply resented BY the Democratic
votsFs, and after school they proceeded
to impress upon Mr.. Conrad's nephew
The error of his way. His appearance
upon his return to the bosom Of his
family was such 70 to cause deep con-
Germ TO his loving parents.
