Mr.. Miller does some thoroughly good
york in this play. He may, indeed, be
credited with having achieved distinct
success upon his first venture. He has
been surrounded by one Of the best
supporting companies put together in
several seasons, 1t includes Grace
Kimbal, Louise Thorndyke Boucicault,
Nannette Comstock, Edmund D. Ly-
ons, Leslie Allen, Nelson Wheatcroft,
Max Figman, and Frank Burbeck.
Sardous most recent drama, "Splri-
tlsme," has been placed on view by
Charles Frohman at the Knlckerbocker
Theater, with Virginia Harmed In the
character written by the greatest stage
writer Of his time for Madame Bern
hardt to play in Parts. "Spiritipme"
is in many respects a remarkable
work While the phenomena OF spirit
ualism afford the ostensible theme,
Sardou has succeeded in evolving a
story which In other respects Is absorb
Ing and intensely moving He does
not appear to lose In force or In tho
prolific quality as he grows older. In
fact, the recent examples Of M. Sar'
dou's skill as dramatist are moro
finely polished and deeper in feeling,
II possible, than the best examples OF
his earlier work, 1t is as yet too
early to foretell the career of "Spiri-
tisme" but 1t cannot be denied that
the play is in many directions origl-
nal and of striking merit,
The most notable of recent examples
Of farce comedy Of the sort that was
the rage some seasons ago is John J.
McNally's "Courted Into Court" which
is being played at the Bijou Theater by
May Irwin, John G, Rice, Ada Lewis,
George w, 9arnum, Joseph Starks,
Jacques Kruger, and other widely
known and well-selected farceurs. The
piece Is of the touch-and-go, topsy-
turvy order, bristllng with ludicrous
lines and complications that awaken
the heartest Of hilarity. Miss Irwin
has never possessed better vehicle
for her unique talents, and 1t is per-

From The Juneau independent
Hon. Eugene O'Connor, of Emmett
was last Tuesday appointed administra.
tor of the Brennan estate in the town
of Emmett by Judge Christianse n.
The estate involves several thousands
of dollars and there are great many
interested heirs. Ex-District Attorney
Sloan represents twelve of the heirs
and attorney Conway, of Watertown,
the remaining ones.
We learn that ex-Judge Lamoreux
will open law Office in Horizon. We
did not expect that man of his enor-
nous wealth would think of increasing
it by the active practice of law in Dodge
county. 1t may be for his health, as
we once heard the Judge mention the
fact that a man in Mayville, by the
name of Jake Mueller, was in business
solely for his health.
The county board will meet here in
special session, for the purpose of per-
fecting an organization, on Tuesday
May 25, 1897 There seems to be no
opposition to the re- election of Mr..
O'Connor AS chairman The board is
composed of 81 Democrats and 10 Re-
publicans.
There was quiet Jail delivery yes
terday morning. Robert Harris, who
is serving a nine months sentence
in the county Jail, and Geo. Hammond,
who is awaiting trial on the charge of
assaulting prison officer, made a
break for liberty, and succeeded in
getting out OF Jail for few minutes.
The turnkey went into the department
with the prisoners breakfast and while
the door was open Hammond and
Harris walked out. The turnkey quick
~ missed them and they were captured
close to the jail yard.
1t was reported around Markesan
last week that Zuelke, who murdered
Ed. Davis year ago, was captured
through the agency of Sam Roby. The
Fox Lake Representative says that
according to report Sam helped
Zuelke to escape and has been in COM
munication with him ever since. The
last we saw of Mr.. Rohy he informed
MS that he nas going to Madison, where
he had very important business to
consult with the governor about.

MADISON JOURNAL: The insurance
companies made money in Wisconsin
during the year 1896. Insurance
Commissioner Fricke's report, now
being printed, shows that there was
written IN Wisconsin during the year
by stock and mutual companies in
surance to the amount of 1888, $685.
OILS, while the ratio of losses to
premiums was SO 20. This was but
little more than half the ratio in
1895, which was 1888. The ratio
of loss last year was the lowest since
1870, with two exceptions. In his
report the commissioner again rec
ommends the repeal of the valued
policy law, and the enactment of a
law creating the Office of state fire
marshal. Bills having both these
ends in view were killed at the recent
session O. the legislature.

In several of our neighboring cities
the subject OF specially taxing BIZ
cycles appears to be agitating the
public mind. Where is the particular
justice in such a proposition? Is
there any more reason to levy a
special tax against bicycle than
against any other conveyance? We
think not. Let bicycles be assessed
in the tax rolls according to their
valuation just as other personal
property should be. This desire to
discriminate against the bicycle
seems unjust, but perhaps it could
be prevented in large measure if a
certain proportion of the riders
would only respect the rights of
Others and live up to the rules and
regulations of their communities

The Tax ON Tobacco.

Fridays Milwaukee Sentinel says:
One OF the changes made in the tariff
bill by the senate finance committee is
to increase the tax on manufactured
tobacco from 6 to s cents per pound.
The rate was 8 cents in the McKin.
ley law and has so remained. It was
not changed in the Dingley bill, but
the senate finance committee added
? cents. Although the increase was
not expected, Judging from the ex-
pressions OF local tobacco manufact-
urers, it will not be opposed
"The increase OF the tax on manu-.
featured tobacco Of 2 cents per
pound as recommended by the senate
finance committee" said b Leiders-
dorf, lis unexpected to the mannfact-
urerS of tobacco and a surprise to
me. In 1892 it was the intention
OF the committee on ways and
means to reduce the tax on tobacco
to 4 cents. The Mckinley law really
intended this. [ know this to be a
fact. The senate, however, opposed
this reduction and a compromise OF
2 cents reduction was made and it
was never intended to increase the
tax again. We did not expect an in
crease of tax to be recommended and
If any change was made we looked
for a decrease.
However, if the government must
raise money, if it is of the utmost
necessity to increase the revenue and
the government cannot do it other
wise, [ think that the manufacturers
Of tobacco will not raise kick.
They viii not oppose it, think, and
will submit gracefully to the inevi-
cable. [ have not seen any of them,
but know their views from former
conferences as to this subject. 1t
would perhaps be a serious blow to
the manufacturing interest, as all
arrangements and contracts are made
on the basis OF present rate of tax,
and it would also be of serious incon-
venience to the trade, but in spite of
all this, [ believe the manufacturers
would rather submit without serious
opposition than further to embar-
rass the government.
1.-THE added tobacco tax would
yield about 100000. hope con-
gress will see it's way clear in letting
the tax on tobacco remain where
it isl
E. F. Adams, the president of the
Adams Tobacco company, said:
"The proposed increase of the in
ternal revenue tax on tobacco from
to cents a pound does not affect
us in the least. We simply pay the
tax and add it to the price. The
consumers will do the real paying.
AS the increase in the tax is so small,
only 2 cents a pound, [ do not think
it will affect either the manufacturers
or retailers of tobacco in any degree
whatever. Smokers who are in the
habit of buying the weed in two or
four ounce packages will have to pay
cent more per package than they
do at present. That is all the effect
the proposed changein tax will have.'
