THE VALUATION IN RACINE.
Return of Assessment in Neighboring
City Shows Value But S24, 100000.

City Clerk Leslie Fowler of Racine
has just completed adding up the as
sessmept rolls approved by the Board
of Review. According to the figures
given out Thursday morning, the total
assessed valuation of the city, is $24.-
$4,000, showing an increase over last
year of $1,439,3o0. The real estate
in the city is assessed for $17,026,30
and the personal property at $6,S77,-
900.
The Racine tax this year will be just
the same as last year, 10 mills on
every dollar assessed. The school tax
has not yet been compiled but it is in
timated that it may go trife higher
than last year, or fraction over 4
mills. Nobody has any idea what the
state and county tax will be though
probably in the neighborhood of what
it was last year.
The city has grown considerably the
past year, especially in the Eleventh
ward, where large increase in the
assessments is made on account of the
scores of new dwellings and large adj
ditions built to manufacturing plants
in that vicinity.

Chicago Dealers Declare the
Prices for Coal Will Start
New Record This Winter
OUR DEALERS SEE NO ADVANCE

Unheard-of prices will be charged for
coal before snow flies this year, accord
ing to Chicago coal dealers. Conditions
may reach such pass, declares George
II. ILL, first vice president of the Lill-
Robinson Coal Company, that people
will be forced to bid against each
other for their coal The problem Is
even more serious where the poorer
classes are concerned. Dealers now are
offering the Gear shortage" excuses
in addition to the strike Of Illinois
miners.
Prices today are higher than usual
ly is the case at this time of year
and an increase is slated for September
LIST. "Pocahontas on that date is
scheduled to jump from 1925 to $3.50.
Last year it was 1915 and jumped to
$500. Lump coal, the favorite of the
poorer classes, is 81 at present, but
will be $3.50 after September LIST. This
is an unusually high price for August
and heretofore has prevailed only in
the dead of winter.
1t will be S. or Sc as soon as there
is demand, which will be within 80
days.
1.-THE railroads will grab everything
in sight" said George HALin, vester-
day, "and within 80 days prices will
soar because of the big demand, which
will be made larger than usual this
year because everyone, including the
dealers, has held off buying coal until
the last minute, waiting to see how the
strike would come out
Local dealers when interviewed with
regard to the conditions" here were of
the opinion that the high prices will
not be effective here. One dealer in
speaking of the matter said that it is
only the cheaper grades of coal where
the raise in price will be felt and
WIG Si0o0 40 NV eolo mere W any 6X-
tent. He said the better grades of
bituminous coal rarely fuctuate to IN
appreciable extent. The price of an
thracite coal, he believes will not be eff
fected at all as the strike which causes
the raise in price has been among the
soft coal miners.
The price of hard coal goes to $7.75
ton next month, raise of 10 cents
over the present price. "We have
been advised from time to time that
there will be no big raise in the price
of soft COAL do not anticipate any
conditions here such as are pictured
in Chicago" he said.

MANY DECLINE The SERVICE
First Registration Day To Be Observed
On Next Tuesday and New List of
Men Must Be Named To Take Places
of Those Missing.


City Clerk George w. Harrington is
having hard time to organize a
force of inspectors to take charge of
the registration Of the voters of the
city which is to begin on next Tues
day morning as the list of election in
spectors appointed by the mayor prev
ious to the spring primary is all but
worthless on account Of the fact that
many men named have moved from
their wards in which they were appoint
ed and others refuse to give up their
time to serve the city in the capacity
Of registration officials. 1t is possible
that under the law the men named by
the mayor and approved by the council,
could be forced to attend to this work
but this sort of an action has never
been necessary in Kenosha in the past.
It is decidedly hard to pick up men
who desire to do this work and idle
men in Kenosha are decidedly few and
FAR between, Three men are needed
in every ward to take care of the reg
istration and while it is expected that
it will be easy enough to get men to
serve for the primary election these
men do not seem to care to do the
clerical work Of registration day but
if the voting is brisk the inspectors
will be pretty hard pushed to keep up
with the work of registration. 1t is
probable that there will be another reg
istration day just before the November
election thus giving the voter three
days to get his pame on the voting
lists. Notwithstanding the fact that
some of the candidates seem to fear
that there Is danger of the parties not
getting out the twenty per cent on
primary day some Of the officials seem
to think that the vote on primary day
will be the heaviest known in the city
and county in many years. The list of
inspectors named by the Mayor to have
charge Of the registration is as fol
lows:
First ward-Eugene Sullivan, Will
liam j. Boyle, Lynn Hannahs.
Second Ward-John Mcconnell, Will
liam Dorsey, John Sershon.

GAIN IN LAKE COMMERCE.
Total June Shipments Is Per Cent Larg-
or Than During Banner Year.

Commercial movements on the great
lakes during June and the six months
ending June of the present year as
measured by the volume Of shipments
between domestic lake ports, show large
gains over like figures of the preceding
years, including 1907, most favorable
year in the history of lake commerce.
The total June shipments of the pres.
ent year, rs reported to the Bureau Of
Statistics of the department Of Com
merce and labor, 13,603,51 gross tons,
exceed the June, 1907, shipments by
over 16 percent and the 1909 ship
ments by over 30 per cent, while the
six months shipments for the present
year 3o,44S,o65 gross tons, snow an
equally favorable development. The
large gain is due primarily to the heav-
Ter shipments Of iron ore from the Lake
Superior producing region, the monthly
total for the first time exceeding the
100000 mark.
Of the 7,oes,4o6 gross tons shipped,
3,78S,616 gross tons, or SO per cent of
the total, proceeded from Duluth Super
Tor; 1,418,S43 gross tons,,or over 20 per
cent, from Two Harbors; 1925 gross
tons, or little over 10 per cent from
Escanaba: and G43,427 gross tons, or
slightly above 9 percent from Ashland
he five ports named being credited
with 90 per cent of the monthly lake
shipments of this article.

four years, and.for such others as may
heed the training in preparation Tor
regular first grade work 1t is hoped
that these Lindergartens win in time
absorb the so-called stsub- primary
grades, in which beginning reading has
been attempted. Children under six
years are too young to attempt reading.
Such efforts at first grade work, being
not only difficult for the average child,
but discouraging to the teachers. With
the alertness of mind that results from
good kindergarten training, the six year
old child learns to read happily and
early when right methods are en-
ployed.
All parents desiring TO have their
children attend the kindergarten, will
send them or take them to school on
Tuesday morning, September 9Th to be
enrolled and classified Parents will
please fill out and give to the teacher

nished. would ask at the time a
kind service from those who live near
or come in touch with any Of our
foreign born or non English speaking
citizens who may not understand what
Kenosha desires to do for all its child
rem OF kindergarten age. To gather
such children into our schools at as
early an age as possible is a matter of
great Importance to the general as well
IS individual welfare.
A neighborly interest in such child
rem, explanation to parents about the
schools, information to principal, kin
dergartens or Superintendent, Of chill
dren who need attention, will be great
ly appreciated.

Committee on Industrial In
surance to Suggest More
Legislation Along Line
FEAR FACTORIES MAY OPPOSE

The special legislative committee on
industrial insurance will meet in Mil
waukee in the near future for hearings
on the third tentative bill on the sub
ject which has been prepared by the
committee. The call for the COM
mittee meeting has not yet been is
sued, but it is understood it is likely
to be held some time during the sec
ond week in September, Senator E. T.
Fairchild and other members of the
committee being so busily engaged in
the campaign as candidates that they
cannot give the time for the committee
hearing until after the campaign is
over.
Undoubtedly the third tentative bill
is the most perfect measure that has
been drafted by any committee or
commission on industrial insurance as
yet, but even this measure in it's pres
ent form will be the subject Of much
criticism from representative of both
manufacturers and labor.
The most strenuous objection which
is raised by manufacturers to the
measure is that although the bill in
its initial clauses, in which the de-
fenses to personal INJURY that are taken
away by the bill are enumerated, does
not specifically declare that defense of
contributory negligence to be wiped
out, this is brought about in a subse.
quent clause of the bill which provides
that the payments for injuries must be
made in all cases where injury occurs
to an employe for any cause save
where there is wilful misconduct or
the employe is intoxicated.
Labor representatives object to the
intoxication clause in the bill, as they
say this will open the way to a de-
Tense which will be brought up by
manufacturers every time there is an
accident to an employee who ever takes
glass of beer.
One of the features of the new bill
is the creation Of a permanent board
to be composed of three members to
settle all disputes arising over settle
ments under the law The state labor
commissioner is to be a. member of the
board and there are to be two other
members at salaries of $4,000 each
The indemnities are placed at about
the same rates as under former bills.
The committee members hope that
the coming hearings will be the final
hearings on the question and that it
will be able to make its report to
Gov. Davidson by Oct. 1.

CATHOLICS IN LEAD
Report of Census Officials on
Religious Denominations
Shows Catholics Ahead
SMALLER SECTS ARE GROWING

The census bureau has just published
a report on religious bodies in the Uni
ted States which contains a vast mass
of matter interesting to church statl
sticiant and the clericals and laity gen
orally. The report is for the year 1906.
The report shows the following fig
ures for the principal denominations,
the membership Of all denominations
being 1896, AS in 1906, of whom 49,
086,902 were Protestants of the leading
bodies Of that faith and 1000 ,142
were Roman Catholics, the others being
of minor Protestant denominations.
In 1890 majority of the communi-
cants in thirty-four states belonged to
Protestant bodies; in twelve states to
the Roman Catholic church; and in two
states to the Latter Day Saints, while
in one state the Roman Catholic church
had plurality. The changes from
1890 to 1906 are as follows: Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey,
Michigan, Wisconsin-formerly showing
majority for Protestant bodies, are
now in the Roman Catholic column; one
state formerly Roman Catholic-Min-
nesota-is now Protestant; Colorado
and Wyoming, which showed a Roman
Catholic majority in 1890, now show
Roman Catholic pluralities; one state
Counecticut-has changed its Roman
Catholic plurality to a. majority; and
one state-Idaho-now changes from

nosha and widely known among the
members of the Grand Army here which
occurred at Beverly New Jersey. The
deceased was sixty-two years of age.
He had just called his daughter by
telephone and asked her to come home
because of his illness when he fell over
dead. Mr.. Underwood had deeply
grieved over the death of his wife and
grandson whose deaths had occurred
within the past six months and it is
thought that this fastened his end.
Mr.. Underwood was member of
Company G. Of the 39th Wisconsin in
fantry and was a brother of H. NJ.

The remains were buried at Beverly

The investigation into the compost
tion of the various so-called soft drinks,
now being made by the bureau of chem
istry at Washington under the pure
food law, will be concluded too late
to be of much service in the northern
section of the country this year but
the information obtained will be Of use
next year in this and other northern
states in barring the more harmful
compounds from the market. The in
vestigation into the summer drinks has
disclosed fully as dangerous a state of
affairs as was brought to light by the
analysis Of some of the patent medi-
cines just finished by the bureau, if not
more SO for large percentage of the
total amount of these drinks sold is
consumed by children. Dozens of these
summer drinks have been found to
contain choral in some form or other
and the most energetic efforts Of the
authorities will be directed to barring
all brands in which this drug is found
present, even in the most minute guam
tity, from the market. It is likely
that the manufacturers of the best
known of the patented summer drinks
containing drugs will resist the attempt
of the government chemists to bar their
goods from the market but the pure
food law has been so thoroughly tested
all through the courts in other suits
of similar nature that there is little
doubt of the ultimate outcome Of the
battle which has lust been BEGUN.
