Alumni Basket Social.

The Alumni Literary society held it's
second meeting in the hall in the old
high school building Friday evening
and there was an unusually large At
tendance of the members. The pro-
gram rendered was quito interesting
and was participated in by Prof Quig-
lew. Roscoe Satterlee, and Miss Edna
Daniels, each of whom gave recitations.
An instrumental solo was given by
Miss Jessie Walrath and vocal solos
were rendered by Miss Kathryn Koch
and b. P. Beckwith. Mrs. w. A.
Barber read paper tha. WAS of gen-
eral interest and Geo. Lixo gave q
Retrospective glance at the gradual
ing class Of 1898, of which he was q
member. VIM. Herbert gave a review
OF the current events and the program
was closed with seleotion by the
Alumni band The basket social
feature WAS probably the most interest
ing aud exciting. h. P. Beckwith sold
the baskets and the rivalry that was
worked up over the possession of q
certain basket by the young men was
the means of largely increasing the re-
ceipts of the evening, but the price did
not prohibit the purchase OF the oovet-
ed article. A jolly half hour was spent
in partaking of the refreshments from
the basket and . an adjournment was
then taken until future date.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF LAW.
Collection of Taxes Under New Law
Being Taken Advantage of by
Heavy Taxpayers.

When the legislature framed the law
permitting the taxes of the state to be
paid on the installment plan it was
with the idea that the poorer classes
would receive the most benefit from
the enactment of such measure, and
OF course under it's provisions the cor
porations and heavy taxpayers have
the privilege of taking advantage of
its leniency. There are numerous in
stances in the city and county where
the heaviest taxpayers have paid their
taxes in full and there are others where
they have not. For instance the Mil
waukee railroad took advantage of the
proposition and where heretofore the
company has paid nearly 50, 900 into the
county treasury at this time of the year
the corporation paid only half of it's
taxes few days ago and will retain the
balance until Oct. 1st, when the rest
becomes due. Agent Taylor handed
Treasurer Kelsey draft for $l,S76 as
one-half OF the M:lwaukee's taxes for
the past year. In this way the railroad
companies of the state will have the use
of an immense sum of money for a
period OF six months without interest.
While the law is bsrefit to some the
majority of the people can get along
under the same law as has been in force
from the days of statehood. Some of the
men whom it was thought would take
advantage Of the law and retain half of
their taxes until late in the year have
come forward and paid their taxes in
full,
