SUE COUNTY OFFICIALS.
Wisconsin Taxpayers Association
to Take an Important
Step.

Marinette, Wis, Feb. 1O.-[Special. J.
AS a result of secret investigation by
the Wisconsin Taxpayers association, it
is announced that suit will be begun at
once against Forest county officials for
alleged illegal collection of taxes. The
associations attorney, J. A. Van Cleve
of Marinette, and a Green Bay lawyer
went to Crandon, the seat of Forest
county, to look up the matter of valua-
tons and assessments and on the
strength of their report it was decided TO
begin legal proceedings.
For several years the laws limiting
the amount Of money that could be raised
in Forest county by taxation was strict
ly observed, but in rendering a decision
in a tax case it is said Justice Pinney
OF the Supreme court referred to the
Forest county law as unconstitutional
and since then, it is alleged, the limit
law has been disregarded. The census
of 1895 gives the aggregate population OF
the towns, cities and villages of Forest
county as being exactly 1888, divided as
follows: Crandon, 4O5; Gagen, 657;
Pelican Lake, 226. There were 745
males in the county two years ago. Still
the county raised in the way OF taxes
last year the sum of $4,000.
A number of Marinette mill compa-
MES owning lands and timber in For
est county and the Chicago & North
Western road and other companies and
a few individuals claim that they have
been unjustly taxed for some years.
A recent decision affecting in part the
claim urged by the Taxpayers associa-
ton was decided in favor of Forest cOun-
ty, but this has not deferred the asso-
citation from pushing their investigation.

FOX LAKE SCORCHED.
Seven Buildings Wiped Out by Fire
Early This Morning-Loss
$4,000.

Fox Lake. Wis, Feb. 11.-E'ire early
this morning destroyed John Medley's
restaurant, John Mahoney's Saloon
Michael Welch's saloon, Schmidt Bros.
saloon. L. n. Buchholz's barber shop,
McCarthy's agency and Murphy Bros.

The fire was discovered in the saloon
building occupied by M. Welch at 1 a.

had destroyed the building, the next one
east occupied by John Medley, and the
large building west occupied by Schmidt
Bros. andYI4. FL. BuchhelZ. Brick build
ings on each side prevented the fire from
further progress The blaze was fierce
and with comparatively no fire protec-
ton the town escaped luckily. The build
ings were on the main street. Murphy

and will have considerable loss from
damage tc stock and fixtures.
The heaviest loser is John Medley.
who lost building, restaurant stock and
fixtures. and household furniture. Com
paratively little was saved. His loss on
building and contents will be probably
fully $4,000, with but $500 insurance. M.
WEIGH lost his saloon stock and fixtures
at Il rough estimate at $4,000, with $4,000
insurance. John Mahoney owned the
building and figures his loss at about
$500, with $1,000 insurance. Schmidt
Bros. building was an old affair, but
was probably worth 500, and saloon
stock and fixtures of some $500 more.
They had no insurance. L. III. Buch-
holz, who occupied part of the building
as barber shop, lost something in cigar
stock and fixtures, but has $3.50 insur-
ance, which will cover his loss. The
United States Express Office was in the
brick building owned by John McCar-
thy, who lost somewhat by having his
stuff carried out and the walls were dam
aged some, but it is covered by $1,000
Insurance.
Green Bay. Wis, Feb. 1O.--The ex-

All the Fashion.

The double breasted, white duck waist
coat has become universal in New York,
according to Him of Vogue Men
wear the high-necked ones with after-
noon dress and the low, U-shaped ones
with evening. Tie-pins are becoming
more elaborate, the same authority de-
clares, and he tells of ushers at recent
weddings who received the most gor-
geous affairs in diamonds and rubies
For those who are about to marry the
smart dress this season consists of black
frock coat, white, double-breasted waist
coat, very light-gray trousers and white
four-in-hand tie. The ascots, with their
wide aprons and their narrow "V," arc
reserved for afternoon dress proper-that
is, for teas, and calling, and the like.
The thick white gloves are somewhat
ting common and the fad will soon die
out. Brown and tan kids and the suede
or undress glove remain the favorites

FAvORS THE RECEIVER.
Judge Webb's Decision in the Com
Inercial Bank Case.

Stevens Point, Wis, Feb. 1O.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The decision in the suit of e. j.
Pfffner, receiver of the Commercial
bank, against A. G. Hamacker, has just
been handed down by Judge Webb, and
is for the plaintiff. The suit involved
the ownership of about $4,000 worth of
land in the city of Merrill.
On February %, 1895, Emmons Burr
decided to A. G. Hamacker this land, but
the deed was not delivered to the de-
PENDANT until after the bank had closed
it's doors on April 1. The Judge bases
his decision on the ground that both
Burr and Hamacker had every reason
to know that the bank was insolvent
during the months of February and
March, and the transfer is therefore void
and illegal.
An appeal will undoubtedly be taken
to the Supreme court. Brennan, Symon
& Frost, representing the receiver, while
Mr.. Hamacker was represented by D..
Lloyd Jones.

CRYING is GOOD EXERCISE.
Let Baby Baw1 Regularly Every Day il
He Wants To.

That babies ought to cry occasionally
is Il fact well known to doctors, but one
which seems to be very much against the
creed of mothers and nurses. The model
babies who never cry are unnatural speci-
mems. Crying is the only exercise a
young baby gets; it expands the lungs,
causes a better circulation of the blood,
and helps OH muscular growth.
The noise is not pleasant, but if we
were once assured that it was harmless
pastime for baby. most of us could recon
Gle ourselves to it, once in Il while. Not
at night. If there is one lesson more i'm
portant than another it is that darkness
and stiffness go together. But although
the idea maye be novel one, there is
something to be said in favor of little
babies being allowed small crying spell
that is, an exercise spell-during the
day, purely upon the grounds Of health
