Black Leg in Cattle,

A short time since DR.. A. H. Hart
wig was summoned in attendance up
on a herd OF cattle owned by town
of Watertown farmer which were in
fected with malignant disease. A
thorough investigation of the case
showed the disease to be anthrax, or
black leg, one of the most dangerous
diseases known to animals. The state
veterinarian, Dr.. H. P Clute, was no.
titled of the fact and he was here last
week in consultation with Dr. Hart
wig. Three of the animals had died
and DR.. Clute ordered the strictest
precautions taken against the spread
of the disease by the balance of the
herd, among other things thorough
disinfection of the cattle's quarters.
Anthrax is caused by a germ and it is
generally considered fatal disease.

Wisconsin State Eair

The State fair of 1897 possesses
many features of a strong, interesting
and attractive character. The open
ing day of the fair will be specially
dedicated to the public schools, and
not less than 15O,0 complimentary
tickets will be distributed throughout
the state to boys and girls of juvenile
age under feet 5 inches tall. These
tickets are good on Tuesday, the open
ing day. This is certainly magnan-
imous proposition and there are many
features of the State fair which are
highly educational to the children.
On Wednesday the most prominent
among the strong features will be a
race between the two recognized pac-
ing kings of the world, Joe Patchen
and Star Pointer. who will compete
for $1,000 purse. This is an oppor-
tunlty afforded the citizens of Wlscon-
sin that does not come every day and
1t is hoped that tens of thousands of
Wisconsin citizens will avail them
selves of the opportunity to see the
greatest horses of the world race
Throughout the whole week the time
will be made merry and enjoyable by
music which will be furnished from
about twenty of the best known bands
of the state. The fourth annual bench
show and pigeon show of the Milwau-.
kee Kennel and Pet Stock association
will be held in connection with the
State fair. We are informed by the
secretary that from the present indi-
cations the exhibit in all departments
will surpass that of any previous year
taxing the fullest capacity of each de-
partment. With such feast in store
for the citizens of Wisconsin, it is to
be hoped that they will avail them
selves of the one-half fair rate and
participate in this rich feast. Tickets
will be sold September Is to 25 inclu-
sive, good returning until and includ-
ing September 27. Any of our readers
desiring premium list pertaining to
the fair will receive same by address

day afternoon and put up at the Com
mercial until the following morning
when they departed for Milwaukee,
intending to make stops enroute at
Oconomowoc and Waukesha. They
occupied a handsome four-in-hand
brake, thoroughly equipped for the
overland journey they were taking
through the state. Thursday evening
the party enjoyed hop at the Island
pavilion, the affair being hurriedly
arranged by Mr.. Ellis, who, while re-
sorting at Lake Mills, had formed the
acquaintance of several of our young
men. A score or more of our young
people joined the visitors in "tripping

Fight over Farm Property.

The Juneau Independent says that
Attorney G. w. Sloan, on behalf of
his clients. has commenced three i'm
portant ejectment cases. They are:
Fred Hopkins and Anna Ormsby VS.
Maggie Brennan; Lizzie Brennan and
Annie Manning VS.. Maggie Brennan,
and Patrick Costello VS. Maggie Bren-
nan. The suits are brought to eject
the defendant from the control and
occupancy of eighty acres of land in
the town of Emmett, known and
described as the nd, sw4, sec. 2. Miss
Brennan, the defendant, claims title
by deed from James Brennan in 1894.
A nominal consideration only was
named in the deed of conveyance.
The contention of the plaintiffs is that
James Brennan, Sr., entered the
land in question, with other land, in
1o4l, and that there is absolutely
nothing to show that it passed into
the ownership of James Brennan, Jr,
who decided it to the defendant in the
cases. The plaintiffs hold that James
Brennan had no legal title to the
farm, and, of course, had no right or
authority to dispose of it. Both of
the James Brennans are now dead. In
signing they did not use the designa-
tion Senior or Junior" but signed
simply James Brennan, and we under
stand that the defense will claim that
the James Brennan who entered the
land was the junior. But the abstract
shows that James, Sr., mortgaged the
land in question at one time, as the
mortgage was signed by Anna Bren-
nan, his wife, while the younger
James was unmarried. There is
another f6D acres of land belonging to
the Brennan estate which will be
divided equally between five families

Lowered the Assessments.

o. F. Roessler, of this city; L. B.
CasWell of Fort Atkinson, and G. H
Powers, of Palmyra, the committee
appointed by the county board for
that purpose, appeared before the
state board of equalization at Madison
last week and succeeded in securing a
lowering in Jefferson county taxable
values of about million dollars. OF
this reduction 1857 ,037 is in the real
property valuation and was granted on
the committees showing that proper
allowance had not been made for the
many thousands of acres of swamp
and marsh lands within the limits of
the county. This lowering of the as
sessed values will result in a saving
of about $4,000 year in. the amount
of state taxes paid by Jefferson coun-
ty.-Jefferson Banner.

people by her dethronement by n
clique assisted by American arms, and
one of her last acts before leaving
Washington to come here was to pre-
sent to President Mckinley various pc
| titions from her people protesting
against annexation and asking for n
restoration of their beloved Queen.
Yours very truly, ]. HELELUHE."
The statement to which the ex-Queen
| objects to is as follows:
1t has transpired that Liliuokalani
| has practically abandoned all hope of
being reinstated on the Hawaiian
throne, to accept Colonel Macfarlane's
statement of her present position But
she has not abandoned all hope of see
ing the monarchy of Hawaii re-estab-
lished
THE Princess Kaiulani, niece of the
Queen, will arrive from England with
in few weeks" said Colonel Macfar-
lane yesterday, "and her visit will
probably result in some amicable un-
derstanding between herself and the
Queen whereby the proposed annexa-
tion of the Islands may be successfully
opposed and the Princess placed upon
the throne.
Princess Kaiulani, as you must
know, has been abroad for nine or 10
years, and has not seen the Queen dur
ing the entire time. She was not more
than IL years of age when she was
taken abroad for an education. She
was at that time heir apparent to the
throne of Hawaii, and it was deemed
proper that she should be given an
education commensurate with her po-
sition. She is now of age and has COM
pleted her education, but in returning
home she finds that new political con-
dltlons in the Islands leave her with
modified fortunes. Blaming the Queen
for the overthrow of the monarchy. the
best of feeling does not exist between
the Princess and her aunt. 1t is likely.
however, that these differences will be
healed when the Princess and the
Queen meet, and that they will in all
probability join forces in opposing the
annexation of the Islands The Prin-
cess, with the backing of her guardian.
L. ii. Davies, is in a position TO en-
gage the best legal counsel in the land
to represent her interests when the
treaty comes before Con
gress for approval, and this she will
probably do.
THE situation as it now stands. is
something like this: There is no GER
talnty that the Islands will be annexed.
and, should annexation fail it is not all,
together improbable that.the Republic
of Hawaii, called into existence. ac-
cording TO the statements of those
who are at the head of the Govern
ment, for the sole, purpose of bringing
about the annexation of the Islands to
the United States, will agree to a modi-
fed monarchy with Princess KaiuIani
on the throne The Queen will be pro-
vided for, so that she may retire with
dignity and maintain a respectable po-
sltlon among her people. This is the
plan that will be agreed upon by the
queen and Princess, and may be
brought to realization if annexation

WILL INFLUENCE SENATE.

Ratification of Treaty Expected to
| Bring Good Results.
NEW YORK, September 13.-The
Herald's Washington dispatch says,
1t is believed in administration circles
tthat the effect of the ratification of the
| treaty by the Hawaiian Senate will be
| to influence some of the members of
| the United States Senate now in the
| doubtful column to vote for the con-
ventiOn next session. All that is now
necessary is the approval of that body
| and it is not believed many members
will be willing to shoulder the respon-
slbility Of defeating annexation and
thus throw Hawaii into the hands of
Japan
No official advices have been receiv-
ed here concerning the reply of Minis
ter Cooper to the note of Minister Shi-
mamura, in which, on behalf of his
government, he accepted the principle
of arbitration in the matter of the i'm
migration controversy The press dis
patches, however, indicating that Mr.
Cooper desires information upon the
points which the Japanese govern
ment considers at issue, are regarded
as correct, and the position assumed
by that official is approved in official
circles.
The authorities would naturally be
pleased to have the controversy pend
ing between Hawaii and Japan set
tied, because such settlement would
tend to remove any objection which
might be estertained by Senators to
bringing into the Union a nation
which has diplomatic differences with
any country. 1t is their opinion, how
ever, that the matter will not be ad
judicated until after annexation is ac-
complished. Mr.. Thurston declined to
discuss Senator Bacon's statements in
regard to the invitation extended to
anime the country. Friends of Hawaii,
however, say there was no improperly
in the extension of the invitation. All
that was desired was to give Senator
Bacon an opportunity Of seeing the
country, and then he could vote as his
Judgment dictated.
Il have no doubt" said one of these
gentlemen, however, that had Sena
tor Bacon gone to Hawaii he would
have come back an Annexationist. Do
you know that every person who sets
foot in Honolulu and travels through |
the islands leaves there with a desire
to do all in his power to annex them
TO the United States?"

Has Not Abandoned Hope
of Restoration.
Authorizes Denial That She is to
Pool Issues With the Prin-
cess Kaiulani.

Ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii
which arrived from the East last even
ing, says the Chronicle of Sept. IL.
She has come West for a few brief
weeks to enjoy a change of air and
climate and become rehabilitated for
| the approaching trials that she ex-
poets to undergo when Congress meets
again in December.
Her majesty is of course emphatical-
ly opposed 10 the annexation of the
islands, said Colonel Macfarlane last
evening, speaking for the Queen She
has formally protested against the an
neXation of her dominions by the Unit
ed States, as has already been an
nounced, but just what her plans are
in respect to the course to be pursued
when the matter comes before Con-
gress at its next session / cannot state.
She has not confided her plans to me,
and l am not in a position, therefore,
to enlighten any one on the subject.
l can only say that she is a careful,
shrewd woman, that she keeps her own
counsel and that what she does will
be in response to the promptings of
her best judgment. She is going back
to Washington in the near future to
watch the course of the annexation
movement and do what she can to pre-
vent the consummation of the treaty.
Il do not imagine, however, that
her majesty will enter into the contest
with the spirit and bitterness that will
characterize the opposition of her
niece, Princess Kaiulani, to the an
nexation movement. The Princess,
who has been completing her educa-
ton abroad during the past several
years, will leave England on the 9th |
of next month for New York. She will |
come almost direct to San Francisco, |
AMI will then sail for Honolulu. Prin- |
cess Kaiulani, who would have sue |
ceeded to the Hawaiian throne in the |
event of the death of Liliuokalani but |
for the overthrow of the monarchy,
does not feel that she should suffer
the loss of her crown and the revenue
of the crown lands through the faults
Of the queen, and she will make an
appeal to the United States Govern
ment for the relief which she believes
she is entitled to. l have no doubt in
my own mind but that the United
States Government, if it takes the
islands, will make suitable provision
for both the queen and the Princess"

was spinning around, and after that all
was blank. The policeman took him
TO school, and Austin, some time later,
sent him home Then his siege of ill
ness began, and DR.. Hugus was called
in The boy was delirious and the doc
tor pronounced it a case of congestion
of the brain. DR.. Hugus, having to
leave the locality temporarily, the
case was given to a Japanese for
treatment. Austin secured a statement
from the latter to the effect that the
disease was bronchitis.
When this statement was made, Aus
tln denied the truth of it, but said that
II all or any number of the pupils
verified the statement he would not
dely it,
Some of the scholars testified that
Austin had got them to sign papers to
the effect that he had not struck the
boy on a certain day, but when the
almanac was consulted it was found
that the day was the one on which the
policeman brought the boy back to
school
Among the papers were number of
aff1davits in the handwriting of Aus
tin, signed by different pupils, and
by the teacher as No
tary Public. Several numerously sign
ed petitions, in which the names Of
japanese and Portuguese were in
serted
Commissioner Smith remarked that
many of the signatures were appar-
emily in the same handwriting. An
other thing questionable was the sign
ing of an affidavit in the name of one
person per some one else These were
considered irregular and quite suffi-
clent to warrant the teachers dis
missal.
The other charge against Austin.
that of insulting Mrs. Hart, was not
discussed in detail. The fact of his
trying, by letter and verbally, to de-
tame the character of the woman was
n itself censurable, but Commissioner
smith thought that there was enough |
against the man without taking the |
asst charge into consideration. The re-
port of Minister Cooper recommended |
he dismissal of Austin from the De-
partment of Education, and on mo-
ion of Commissioner Bowen. the re-
port was adopted
