Singing the Kemper Hall song the
students and members of the large con
gregation went from the gymnasium to
st. Peter s Chapel. The service at the
chapel opened with the singing of a
professional hymn after which the
prizes and testimonials were conferred
by the bishop.
Leaving the chapel the company re-
tired to the campus where the class
stone was laid and the class tree plan ted
and the exercises of the day closed with
a benediction.
Following the exercises the Sister
Superior entertained at luncheon at
which there were lany visiting guests
This afternoon more than hundred of
the members of the Kemper Hall Alum
nae Association gathered for the annual
reunion Mrs. William S. Forrest of
Chicago, president Of the association,
presided. Large delegations were pres
ent representing the Kemper Hall As
sociations in Milwaukee and Chicago
The members of the class of 1913 were
formally received into the association.
The members of the class of 1918
Misses Gertrude Dorothy Carroll of
Ravenswood, ILL.,; Norma Anita Hauser,

Jealous of their prerogative and any
step which tends to lessen the power
of town boards or town boards of
education is likely to meet, with
disapproval.
1t is also claimed that with the re-
sponsibility for the country schools
resting with centralized body better
school teachers viii be obtained and
that better school conditions will re-
suit from this fact alone. The APP
probation of the necessity of good
teachers has never been one which
weighed heavily on the district school
boards in some parts of the country
and it is claimed that the county
school board responsibility in this re-
gard will be much greater.
The bill met with stronger support
in the assembly than was expected,
although the measure was considered
a worthy one. There has been a
rather persistent fight against the bill
in some quarters from the first, but
this fight after the compromise meas
ure was drawn rather dwindled away
and close followers of legislation have
believed for some time that the
measure would pass. In fact, county
boards Of education were one of the
constructive propositions before this
legislature.

One Of the most effective moves ever
made in the anti-vice crusade is the re-
cent alliance between the Illinois Vigi-
lance association and nine of the great
trunk lines entering Chicago, under
which the railroads agree to take every
possible measure to suppress the white
slave traffic along their lines. Not only
do the roads agree to post warnings at
every station along their lines urging
all friendless girls who propose to visit
the city to send their names and the
time of their arrival in advance to one
of the protective associations, but all
of the employees of the roads are
urged to cooperate with the Vigilance
association in every way in their power.
IF the trainmen accept the response
bility put upon them under this plan,
the operations of the white slave agents
on trains and in railway stations are
a thing Of the past. The railroad men
are not expected to take an active part
in the arrest and conviction of the pan
derers discovered on the trains but they
have the best opportunity to come IN
contact with the workings of the white
slave agents and a word of any suspi-
cious actions on any of their trains to
the headquarters of the Vigilance ASSOC
citation will bring results.

Mutual Brewing Company projected
by saloonkeepers of the state, an

The land covers seven acres and in
cludes the old national baseball park.
1t extends from National avenue to
the railroad tracks.
1.-THE company will start work on
the new plant next month, !" Mr..
Hundt said. "The plant will cost in
the neighborhood of 100000 and
will be one of the finest in the
country. There are now nieteen such
breweries in the United States. The
latest to be erected was that in st.

POWDER COMPANY DEED FILED
All Property of the Lafiin-Rand Co. is
Transferred to Hercules Company.

The final chapter in connection with
the unscrambling of the eggs of the
powder trust so far as Kenosha county

erty owned by the E. /. dupont de
Nemours Company in Kenosha county,

given in the deed beyond a nominal
one. 1t is said that the transfer of the
Pleasant Prairie plant is part OF the
proposed division of the plants formerly
controlled by the trust. Tt is said that
the Pleasant Prairie plant will be alb
solutely independent of the trust in the
future.

MILL SHOW NO PARTIALLY
Either Real or Personal Property May
be Taken Under the Law and Sold to
Satisfy Demands of County Against
the Delinquents on Income List.

Have you paid your income tax
yet? If you haven t you had better
nail down the parlor furniture and
hurry down and settle with County
Treasurer Philip Hartman as the list
Of three hundred delinquents who fail
ed to pay income tax in Kenosha this
year has been turned over to the
county treasurer and he has his in
structions from the district attorney
to proceed at once with the collec-
ton of the tax The trainers of the
income tax left no loop holes to es-
cape payment and under the law 1t IS
decidedly easy for the county treas
urer to make the collections.
Nothing is sacred when the collec-
tor of income tax comes around and
if he sees fit he has power under the
law to sell the shirt off man s back
to get the income tax. Both personal
property and real estate may be taken
to secure the payment of the tax and
the treasurer has been given to under
stand that every cent of the $4,000
outstanding must be collected and
turned into the city and county treas
uries. Nearly all of the amount is due
from property owners and residents of
the city Of Kenosha as the amount of
the tax assessed in other parts of the
county was decidedly small.
1t can be said that nearly all of the
farmers paid the little income tax as
sessed against them.
Under the law it is not necessary for
any notice to be given the delinquents
but as this is the first year that the
law has been in operation the treas
urer has decided to give delinquents
one chance and to this end he is send
ing out formal notice to every de-
linquent. The cost of sending out
these notices is more than met by the
interest charges that have been added
to the original income tax amounts
In the notice the amount Of the tax
and the collection fees is given to
the delinquent. Following this the
treasurer says:
"You are also hereby notified that
unless the amount Of this tax as above
stated is paid within ten days from
and after the date of this notice as re-
CURED by law warrant will be is
sued to the sheriff requiring him to
levy upon and sell your property to
satisfy this tax. In order that you
may not be mistaken as to your rights
I take this opportunity to inform you
that no property is exempt from seiz-
ure to satisfy this tax
The plan adopted is practically the
same as the plan adopted by the city
for the collection of personal proper
ty taxes and it is expected to bring
results.

Get vaccinated. It will do no harm
and nothing will be lost by taking
every possible precaution against the
spread of the small pox in the city.
IF the health commissioner IS correct in
his conclusions as to the manner in
which the disease was first brought into
the city, lot of people were exposed
to the contagion and there is no sense
in taking any unnecessary chances. BY
that we do not mean that we believe
there is any great danger of the dis
ease getting much Of foothold in the
city, for every suspicious case sibeing
very closely watched and the qnaran-
tines are being very strictly maintained,
but every vaccination decreases the
chance q developing

The announcement that Chicago had
begun campaign to rid that city of
every known criminal was not more ia
vorably received in any of the cities
within a radius of hundred miles of
Chicago than it was in Kenosha. In
every one of them preparations have
been MADE to keep every suspicious
character on the move" and the gen
tlemen in the bad books Of the Chicago
police department are likely to do con-
siderable travelling in the next few
weeks. The only protection the cities
have is to keep these men on the run.
None of the counties care to keep the
suspicious visitors in the jails at the
expense of their taxpayers on vagrancy
charges when the costs of their sup
port are properly charge on go,

Not a case was noticed for trial at
the june term of the circuit court.
This unfortunately may not be taken
as an indication that the world or that
part of it known as Kenosha county is
growing better, but it is evidence that
the lawyers are unanimously Of the
opinion that hard work in hot weather
is likely to disagree with them.

the church $19.25. Most of the
things were sold privately, but
auctioneer Emerson got in his
work on the quilts and the chick
ems. Doc did splendidly on the
quilts, but the way he made the
feathers fly when he got at the
chickens was surprise to out
siders. To the discredit of the
men, who are not much good any
way, the wemen did about all
of the buying. Much credit is
due the ladies' who supplied the
things to sell, and those whose
