PRISONFIGURES.

The Board of Trustees of the state pri-
son have made their annual report to the
governor. 1t shows the number of con-
victs confined October l, 1879, to have
been 800, received during year 121; dis
charged during the year, 1853, leaving 277
conyicts in prison October l, 1880. OF
the convicts received during the year
there were 100 first convictions, II second
convictions and one third convictions.
Manufacturing on the state account prac-
tically closed before the commencement
of the present fiscal year, but there is still
on hand over $4,000 worth of chairs,
wagons and stock.
The receipts for the year are $49, $3.50:
disbursements $44,OS3, leaving balance
on hand of $5,6O6. The decrease in the
number of convicts for the year is % per
cent.
The affairs of the institution are in ex-
cellent shape in every particular. Nc
appropriation will be necessary for the
coming year. The amount of cash on
hand with the revenue from convict labor
and the sale of stock will be sufficient tC
carry it through.

MIL WAUKEE FOTE.

The vote was the largest ever polled in
Milwaukee. The vote aggregates 0,749,
some less than the total registration. Only
a few hundred votes were sworn in
throughout the city. In 1876, Hays re-
ceived S242 votes in the city, and Tilden
1923, a total of II 1865, or 1884 less than
this fall. The gain over the vote at the
last gubernatorial election is 5749. The
vote for Garfield is a gain of 1888 on
that of 1876. The vote on congress
man is difficult to explain. In 1878,
Frisby, Republican, received 6942, and
Deuster, Democrat, 1888. At the pres
ent election the vote stands for Sanger
10,150 aad for Deuster 10.10S, a
democratic gain of 1920 on the vote
for that Office in 1878. Sanger runs
ahead of Frisby 320S, which is explained,
however, in the difference between the
aggregate vote now and then. Taking
that fact into account, Sanger really runs
behind the amount of the democratic gain
already given. Both of the senatorial
districts which elect this fall, the Fifth
and Seventh, return republican senators
Van Setback and Simpson respectively
by increased majorities In the assem-
bly, districts the republicans have hand
some gains. A member is gained in the
Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh Districts, and
the Milwaukee delegation is now soliClly
republican with the single exception of
Keogh, from the Democratic Gibraltar,
the Third District. Comd ohr, the bolter,
received votes in the Ninth.

From the statistics of wealth, debt and
taxation of the state CT Wisconsin, report
ed by R. P Porter special agent in charge
ofthat branch of the census work we take
the following:
The assessed valuation of real estate in
Wisconsin is 1914, 7S8, 721; the assessed
value of personal property, $94, 1S3,O3O;
making the total assessed valuation OF
property, real and personal, $438, 81 ISL,
The estimated true value of real estate,
according to the calculations made in the
census office, is $500, 562,398. No esti-
mate has as yet been made on the true
value of personal property, nor will this
be done until the farming, industrial,
and trade statistics are completed and on
file in the census Office.
Under the head of pnblic debt, the re-
port shows that the total county debt of
the Estate, for which bonds have been is
sued, aggregates $1,000, 1863; floating debt
212,0S5. The total Indebtedness, bonded

NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE.

MADISON, Wis, October 26.-The va
cancy on the supreme bench, occasioned
by the death of Chief Justice Ryan, still
creates discussion in the press and among
the legal fraternity of the state. Cover
nor Smith has been questioned upon the
subject of the new appointee, but only
said that he should not be in haste to fill
the vacancy, preferring to feel the public
pulse a little before he acted. The gener-
al drift of public sentiment thus far
seems to be in favor of the Hon. Orsamus
Cole, now one of the associate justices OF
the court, who has been continuously upon
the bench for twenty five years. Judge
Cole is a graduate of Union College, and
came West when Wisconsin was still
territory, to grow up with the country
His first appearance in public life was as
the Wing candidate for Congress in l849
when his district comprised more
than one-half the state. He made
thorough canvas of his district against A
Hyatt Smith, democrat, and was elected
over him by handsome majority In
1866 Judge Cole was the republican can

A PARIS letter-writer who saw Sara
Bernhardt in the role of Adrienne Le-
couvreur, says that she cannot be favor
ably compared to Modjeska in the same
character. The writer continues: ''Sara
is not pretty, her only attractions being
her sweet and melodious voice and beau
tiful hair. She has a Jewish cast of fea-
lures; she is angular and thin to ema-
citation. Upon this she prides herself,
and dresses in a manner to intensity it,
wearing ill-ftting and clinging garments,
wide, flowing sleeves, and immense
ruches, called the 'Bernhardt,' now the
rage in Paris" Miss Bernhardt, with
her son and some of the principal men,
bers of her company, arrived Ill New
York harbor last week in the steamer
Amerique. The distinguished actress
will not land till to-day, when the mem
bers Of her troupe, who arrived in the
Wieland, early yesterday morning, will
proceed down the bay TO escort her to her
hotel.

THE DEATH of Chief Justice Ryan
creates vacancy on the supreme bench,
which will be filled by appointment by
Gov. Smith for the balance of the term,
which expires Jan. 1, 1882. Several
prominent lawyers in the state are being
urged for the position, among them j. B.
Cassidy, of GAINESVILLE Mr. Cassidy
stands very hig b among the members of
his profession, and his appointment to a
position on the supreme bench would be
very satisfactory to all classes in this sec
ton of the state.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-11-03

This makes grand total of all taxa
ton not national, of 81, $50, 449.
In the prosecution of the investigation
bv which Mr.. Porter arrived at the true
value of the real estate in Wisconsin, he
shows that clustering around the shores
of Lake Michigan, within the borders CT
seventeen out of the si1ty-two counties of
the state, live over half the population of
the entire state. Located in this re-
gion of the country are the thriving, in
dustrial centers of the state; Milwaukee,
with its 100000 inhabitants; GAINESVILLE,
with the fine water-power of the Rock
river to make a good manufacturing
point; Fond du Lac, with it's 10000 in
habitants; Oshkosh, with it's vast lumber
interests; Racine, with its $4,000 inhabi-
tants and its unequaled agricultural i'm
plement manufactures, and the thriving
cities of Watertown, Green Bay, and She
boygan, all located within this area. Be-
sides being the manufacturing portion of
the state, the fertile fields of these coun-
ties yield an abundance of those products
which have done so much in the sdevel-
opement of the West.
1t has been shown by official reports
that the average annual wheat
products of Wisconsin for the
last five years has been in round
figures 81, 900, 600 bushels, the average
yield of corn for the same period of time
has been 100000 bushels. Of this it
is safe to say that the seventeen counties
of the state under discussion, produce
nearly 100000 bushels of corn, being
the fifth of the total production of the
total product of the state.
The total assessed value of real estate
and personal property in these counties
is $251, 1857, 341. The total assessed
value of property in the state of Wiscon
consin is $43S, 971, ISL, leaving a balance
for the remaining forty-fve counties O
the state of $751; ,410, thus giving
the seventeen counties 81 per cent of al
the taxable property in the state.
Within the seventeen counties the re
port shows that one-half of the sales farm
ing lands for 1879 were transacted anG
the aggregate selling price of all these
pieces of property was Sc, 2O6, 1863. The
assessed value of this property being "a,
569,894. By far the larger proportion o
the sale of city and town lots took place
| within this area, which may be explain

i didate for Associate Justice of the Su.
preme Court against Samuel Crawford,
democrat, and then member of the
Court. Judge Cole has Just entered upon
a new term of service lasting ten years,
being chosen over Montgomery M.
Cothren by $4,000 majority.
The friends Of ex-senator r. O. Hove,
well-known to the country as Senator
from Wisconsin for eighteen years, do
not intend that the Governor shall forget
the claims of their candidate. The fact
is cited that president Grant offered to
appoint Mr.. Howe Chief Justice of the
United States on the death of Salmon z.
Chase, and they contend that the merits
of such man cannot be overlooked in
filling the vacancy created by the death
Of Chief justice Ryan.
The friends of the Hon. John B. Casso-
day, of GAINESVILLE, are also urging him
for the position. The local press and the
Janesville bar without, distinction of par
ty, are unanimously in his favor, and III
other sections of the state Mr.. Cassoday
has received favorable mention in that
connection. He is a fine lawyer, and
has been active in politics. He was one
term speaker of the Assembly, president
of the last republican state conyentlo
and chairman of the republican delegation
from Wisconsin in the last national con-
vention. Mr. Cassoday enjoys the proud
distinction of having started the boom for
General Garfield that ended in his nomi-
nation.

ed from the fact heretofore mentioned,
that nine out of the eleven cities of over
$500 inhabitants are located in this Sec
ton of the state.
The total sales of city and village lots
in Wisconsin for 1879 amounted to 49,
1903 the aggregate assessed value of
this property being 1882, 267.
OF this amount no less than $3,097,-
948 worth changed hands within the
seventeen counties mentioned. The as
sessed value of this property being ST.
3O6, 1877, the percentage of the assessed
value of the consideration received, or,
as the census report puts it, "the true
value for the sales of the farming lands
of Wisconsin is II per cent. for the state
at large and 73per cent. for the seventeen
counties most densely populated. The
percentage of the assessed value to the
consideration received, or true value of
town lots for the state at large was "A
per cent. and for the seventeen most
densely populated counties precisely the
same. Each county in this report is
worked out separately from the informa-
ton obtained from the register of the
county and from the schedules returned
to the census Office by the assessors,
bankers, and real estate dealers of the re-
spective counties, and as we have shown
before by this method, the assessed value
of real property in the state is increased
from $344, 1921 to 1902, $685. 98, an
increase of about 1857, 753,S77. atG.
The methods of collating the statistics
of wealth, of debt, of taxation, and Of re-
gistering the sales of real estate in Wis
consin are comprehensive and thorough

A. K. M. PICKERT,
Formerly of the Singer.
Formerly of the Singer.

The Wheeler & Wilson No. N Family
Machines, and Manufacturing Machines, can
not be exceled in the world. We de-
fly competition. Hear what the Jury Judges of
the Centennial Exposition says. OF all the
sewing machines we tested the Wheeler & Wilson
New Machine was the most successful, failing
in nothing that was given it-Fred A. Paget.
Another report from the Judges of the Ameri-
can Institute 1--WE do not hesitate to declare
it the best sewing apparatus in the world"
At the Paris Exposition in 1878 it was awarded
the only grand prize given to sewing machines.
Easy to manage, easy to learn, the lighteSt run
ming the most durable and does the most per-
feet work 1t has high arm, self-adjusting
needle. 1t can be set in the dark as we'll as in
the light. After the success of this company at
Paris in 1867, Vienna in 1873, and Philadelphia
in 1876, their recent overwhelming and decisive
victory at Paris is not surprising, but none the
less gratifying on that account. At this EXPOSE
ton extraordinary measures were taken to Sc
cure Judges of the highest qualification and I'M
questionable Partially, to subject all machines
and processes 10 the most thorough and exhaus-
tive tests, and TO adopt every safeguard against
the making Of awards upon any other grounds
than the real merits of the exhibits. The fact
that out of some 80 exhibits from all the world,
Wheeler & Wilson received the only grand prize,
as is authoratively shown by the cert ficate OF
commissioner Gen. McCormic, would seem to
place the superiority of their machines above
all others beyond question.
