TAXES over COUNTY
RUN BELOW AVERAGE
FOR entire STATE

Taxes in practically all corporations
In Wayne county are far below the
state average. This is shown by the
analysis Of tax rates and assessments
for 1916 taxes, payable in 1917, which
ha been made public by the State Tax
association.
The report shows that valuations
have increased in every part Of the
state. Personal property Is being as
sessed the state over this year for its
full value and then twenty-five per
cent. is taken off for equalization. Real
estate In Wayne county at the last
time 1t was assessed was taken in for
about sixty per cent. in Richmond and
thirty-five per cent. in the county out
side of this city.
On Threshold Of 4 Per Cent.
Even with the increased valuations,
the average rate in ninety-eight cities
has jumped to 1885 on the $10o.-it
Is on the threshold Of 4 per cent. which
will be crossed this year." the report
says. The rate for Richmond. all lev

says. The average rate for the fifteen
townships in Wayne county Is $2.19.
Only two townships exceed the state

The average rate of the ninety-two

Caught by Police

There is chuckling a plenty over on
the west side today and late this af-
ternoon there is going to be something
of an exodus from that side of the city
toward the Municipal Court as police
officers ruthlessly swooped down upon
a "Pleasure Club" at the corner of
Elizabeth street and Grover street on
Sunday night and just as ruthlessly
pinched six men who were charged
with being gamblers. There was a
merry game of rhum in process when
the officers reached the club rooms.
There was merry scurrying of the
men engaged in the game when the
police officers began arresting. A lot
of the men in the place got away but
six of them failed in the attempt. The
men were nearly all booked under as
sumed names and the real facts in re-
gard to the raid are to come out at the
hearing set for this afternoon. Many
complaints against gambling at the
club have come to the police in the last
few weeks and the tip on which the raid
was made was given by one of the men
who claimed that he had lost money.

drivers and for this reason their period
of training is expected to be shorter
than ordinary. Their hasty departure
left no time for Kenosha to give them
an official farewell, but arrangements
have been completed to send to them
later the gifts which were given by
the various organizations of the city
to the other groups of volunteers.
Prominent in the group were Arthur
Bienemann, Thad Logan and Albert
Broncho, whose efficient services as
motorcycle policemen for the city and
county, have made them especially
we'll known in Kenosha. Bienemann
saw service on the border as a truck
driver and the excellence of his service
is attested by the readiness with which
his offer to volunteer for added service
was accepted. Praise for each and
every one of them was heard among
the friends who thronged about the
train and waved them good luck and
goodbye and who after the boys were
off to war were confident in unanimous
ly stating their belief that, no matter
what the test, .Kenosha would be
proud of the record, which these
men will make while serving under5the
Stars and Stripes.

years he remained a member of

treasurer Of the board.

Der of the Modern Woodmen of
America, the Yeomen, the Royal
League and the Equitable Fraternal

Der of st. Matthews Church and for
time was active in the work Of the
church. Only few days ago he had
informed members of his family that
he wanted to leave Kenosha and to
this end he had planned to sell the
Strong street property and go to
Ironton, Ohio, to join a son who is
in business there.
When at the height of his business
career few men in Kenosha enjoyed

recent years he had retired from
all of these activities.

had been able to be about his home on
Sunday and he was sitting in his favor
tie chair when he was stricken with
paralysis of the heart. He died before
a physician could reach the house.
The deceased was q son of the late
Charles F. Ripley Of Fond du Lac. He
was born in Fond du Lac, June 18th,
1858. He had spent much of his life
as a farmer near 0akfeld, Wis, but
three years ago, on account of failing
health, he left the farm and came to
Kenosha to spend his declining years
He had been very prominent in the
work of the Equitable Fraternal Union
in this and surrounding states and at
one time he was state organizer for
the Dakotas. He organized the Keno
sha chapter of the organization and
had been active in its management.
He is survived by his widow, three
sons, Russell of Portland, Oregon, Fred
of Greeley, Col, and Dr. Howard

waiting his call to service with the
army and two daughters, Miss Belle

"We IL try our best'' were the fare
well words Monday afternoon as six
stalwart Kenosha men boarded the
Chicago train, which was to start them
on the trip to FIT. Crook, Nebraska,
where they are enrolled as members of
the quartermaster s corps, now being
equipped for immediate service in
France and their three hundred friends
who thronged the train knew that it
meant that cold Glory would never
find one of these men to fail her
when the tests come. The six men
named above and Thad Logan, who had
already gone to Chicago and would
join them there, were among the very
first of Kenosha s young men to offer
their service to the government and
the farewell which was granted them,
in spite of the fact that few but their
immediate friends knew of the exact
time of their leaving, showed best the
respect which Kenosha is glad to pay
to their patriotism and efficiency.
There was no band nor pomp about
the farewell scene, but hearty hand
shakes and wishes for good luck and
glory were showered upon the men by
their groups of closest friends. There
were tears, of course, for they are all
expecting and hoping to be placed on
the dangerous ambulance service of the
United States army and this will mean
that they probably will not return to
Kenosha until the war is ended.
Mingled with the tears of parting
there were the cheers of praise as the
train departed carrying away some of
the most stalwart and valiant of the
many Kenosha youths, who have
volunteered to protect democracy.
The seven men, VINO left Monday for
the training camp, received summons
to service several days ago; the order
read that they were to report to Fit
Crook, Nebraska, to be equipped for
immediate service overseas This
will probably mean that they, although
not the first to leave Kenosha, will be
among the first score of Kenosha men
to see service ON the battlefelds of
France. All are experienced auto
