endure. This loose and crooked way
of doing business is not only burden
some for the taxpayer, but it deprec1-
ates the value of his property and dis
courages them from making any inn
provements and drives people out OF
the town and keeps others from locat-
ing here and developing the country.
And hundreds of descriptions of land
will be returned delinquent until the
county board will have to cancel the
tax and the people that have to remain
here will have these taxes to pay in
the end
1t seems that some of our justices OF
the peace, as well as some at Wood
ruff, are of the same class. They issue
warrants for small and triAing offences
without doing their duty that they owe
to the commonwealth, by making the
complaining witness give security fol'
costs, and they adjourn suits that could
be tried at once, and make hundreds OF
dollars costs to the county in officers
fees and paying fares in transporting
the prisoners across back and forth,
over the vast stretch of country be-
tween here and the county seat.

BARDEEN APPOINTED.

Judge Bardeen Of Wausau, has been
appointed Justice Of the Supreme
Court to succeed Justice Newman, who
died a short time ago. Judge Bardeen
has been judge of this circuit ever
since it was organized and has just en-
tered upon another term of six years.
He has made an excellent Judge and
his appointment will give general sat-
isfaction throughout the district. His
successor on the bench, in this dis
trict, has not been named yet. There
seems to be no dearth of candidates.
Attorney General Mylrea, w. G. Sill
verthorne and e. L.. Bump of Wausau,
Attorney Reed of Merrill and S. S.
Miller of Rhinelander have all been
mentioned for the place, and their
friends are active in their behalf.
Either of these gentlemen would make
a good Judge and fill the place accepta-
bly,. The bar of this county are favor
ing the appointment of S. S. Miller of
Rhinelander, on account of his loca-
tion.
Whoever is appointed will have to
stand for an election next spring, as
the Governors appointment to fill a va
cancy only holds until after the cleo

We were not only pleased but sur
prised to know that there was one in

or in other words, that the first two
bills were two hundred and forty-one
dollars more than they should have
been, and that the third bill of three
hundred and twelve dollars was steal
pure and simple.
Now, from the handwriting of the
third bill. and from the fact that Mr..
McGill was not in town when it was
made out, we do not believe that he
had anything to do in putting it in.
We believe that the ring knew that
the two former bills were padded and
saw in this fact an opportunity to force
Mr. McGill to allow the use of his
name to perpetrate the further steal of
three hundred and twelve dollars,
trusting to the belief that no one would
take the trouble to count the words in
the transcripts to see whether the bill
was just or not. And if our opinion is
correct, and we believe careful going
over of all the records in the matter
will lead any unbiased man to the same
opinion, then this instance illustrates
how some of the county officers are
bled by the ring forcing them to re-
coup themselves out of the Taxpayers
1t further bears us out.in another
statement. that either the members of
our present county board were either
part and parcel OF the ring or else
mere puppets in it's hands.
