FRAUD IN WISCONSIN.
Oneida County Board of Supervisors Bring
Millionaire Corporation to Time.

Oneida County Board of Supervisors Bring a
Millionaire Corporation to Time.
RH1NELANDER, April 16.-ConsidorabIe
surprise was occasioned here by the publ
cation in the Sentinel of the complaint in
the case of the Land, Log and Lumber
CON pnny against I. B. Walsh, w. L. Beers
and w. E. Brown. members of the Oneida
county board of supervisors. The va
rious charges will be answered in the
courts. The statements which told of
"half breeds as land inspectors" and of the
immense" profits realized by the mem
bers of the borad, might better be
changed to millionaire corporations as
tax dodgers and chow the said corpora
tions didn't make big profit by evading
the payment of their taxes" The Land,
Log d Lumber company has Professionally
and regularly objected to paying taxes on
its lands in this county, and in fact at
tempted some sort of compromise. TWAS
for this very reason that the land inspec-
ton was ordered. The county board was
of the opinion that the only safe and
busInesslike method of procedure was
to first procure a just valuation on all
lan6s IN the county aud levy tax &C.
accordingly. They thought this the only
method whereby they could obtain tax
assessment which would hold in dealing
with the Land, Log and Lumber com
pany's tax man and men of his kind.
The land inspection was made under
the supervision of the board
and as is the case in all such
matters, there were certain parties
who could of course do it much better
than those who did it, and the fact that
they were likely to be obliged to pay their
taxes without any com promise, didn't de
tract any from their denunciation of the
boards action. Whether or not the men
who estimated the valuation of the land
were competent men, and whether they did
their work properly or not is a matter
which Mr.. Lloyd or MIR. Bailey can de-
eide. That must be settled in court. The
defendants in the case feel no uneasiness
over the outcome of that charge. Con-
corning the allegation that the inspectors
were instructed by the board to examine
government and state lands and report
as to the value of the same they emphati-
cally deny. The charges that members
of the board have trafficed in county or
ders, and realized large sums there
from,'' is matte which the complain
ants will be called upon to prove.
Whether or not the corporation bringing
this suit will be able to effect a division
of Oneida county and locate the county
seat in town owned by them is q
question in she minds of many here.
The members of the board are bust
ness mel of standing and are fully pre-
pared to defend any action they have
taken, They court the fullest investiga-
ton. When the proper time comes the
complaint will be answered. Then some
Of the newspapers lawyers" and land
owners who wish to be released from the
payment of taxes for no other reason
than that they are rich, will have abund
ant opportunity to learn that the board
is prepared to see the case through.

Edison's First monograph.
Boston Letter.

A gentleman recently repeated to me
an account given him by Thomas Edison.
of the making of the first phonograpb,
1t has not, so far as know, been in print,
and is interesting in showing the inveu-
tors method in working. Busily engag-
ed on Vulnerable things, Mr.. Edison car
ried in his mind for a long time the idea
of the photograph, turning it over and
over and from time to time jotting down
sketches and memoranda concerning it's
construction. At length be said to an
old German machinist who made models
for him, that he wanted q machine con-
structed In certain maDDer, bat of the
use of it he gave no hint. Now and then
as the work went on, without seeing the
model, Mr.. Edison ordered certain
changes, which, of course, were duly made.
F inally the German was told TO bring the
machine for examination, Mr.. Edison
fitted into it the sheet of tinfoil, and
turning the crank spoke into the funnel
the somewhat familiar verse about Mary
aid her little lamb. The German regard
ed him as if he thought he had gone mad;
but when Mr.. Edison reversed the motion
and the photograph pipingly repeated
his stanza, the old man threw up his
hands ana exclaimed in the utmost as

THE SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR.

Death of an African POtentate Who Under
stood How to Make His Sovereignty Pay.
The death OF the saltan of Zanzibar is
a bad thing for British influence on the
east coast of Africa, says a caole dispatch
to The New York Sun, and may cause
friction with Germany, which has been
very active in those regions of late. The
sultan years ago had a Misunderstanding
with England about the slave trade, and
narrowly escaped having his palace
brought tumbliDg down upon him by
shells from British men-of- war anchored
in his own harbor. Later he saw the
error of his ways, and while winking at
human traffic, took no overt part in it.
His physician and the commandsr-in-
chief of his queer army were Englishmen
and he was fond of giving dinners in
what his chef was pleased to style English
fashion. He would freely lend horses and
carriages to officers of British men of war
and the humblest midshipman was always
sure of good time when ashore at Fan
zibar. The sultan must have died rich,
for he enjoyed an income of over 81 ,0OO,-
GOO year, and used to let his idle war
ships on hire as freight steamers. He
also made good thing out of the relig-
ious fervor of his subjects, by conveying
from Zanzibar TO Jeddah in his own
steamers the pilgrims bound for holy
Mecca. The sultan was a free-and-easy
sort OF Mussulman himself, but he didn't
allow the new tangled European doctrine
of liberty of conscience to apply to mem
bers of his own family. One of his
sisters managed to elope with German
Employed in a merchants Office at $40
week. She became Christian, and was
left widow almost destitute. Over and
over again the poor princess applied for
help to her royal brother, but he refused
either to see her or forgive her.

Mo-, yesterday. The men demand AZ
cents per mile and that the classification
system be abolished.
& special from Springfield says the
railroad officers were favorable, but de-
clared that under such arrangement they
would employ only the best engineers,
and that promotions from firemen 30 en-
gineers wo1id only be made after the fire
men had proven themselves thoroughly
capable. The grievance committee were
not prepared to meet this move until
they had seen Chief Arthur, and the con-
ference was closed for the present. Gen
eral Manager Merrill says the conference
was entirely amicabIe.
ST.. LuUIs, April 14-The differences
existing between the st. Louis d San
Francisco railroad and engineers were
settled satisfactorily to-day. General
Manager Morrill, was seen this after
noon and said the principal de-
mand of the engineers, which was
abolition of classification. was conceded
by the company. The demand for in-
creased pay for fremen was compromised
and the demand for change of the sys-
tenn Of payment from the mileage to the
percentage basis was conceded. The sys-
TEN was practically changed to that in
vogue on the Atchison and other lines in
the st. Louis and San Francisco terri
tory.
