NIndman,s Awful Deed.

Middle Ridge, a prosperous little Ger
man settlement, was the scene of the
most terrible crime ever perpetrated In
La Crosse County. Edmund OFT, while
temporarily insane, and fearing death at
the hands of an imaginary mob, sought
to put his wife and babe out of the way
of desperadoes he thought were about to
hang him. He shot and killed his 3-year-
old daughter. He shot his wife twice,
but she will recover. fIe then killed him
self. The gunshot set fire to Otis cloth
ing, and also to the house. His body was
burned to a crisp and the house destroy
ed. The wife ran out of the house with
her babe, and was driven to her broth
er's home, some little distance.

Bank Examiner Il. l, Kidd in his an
nual report says the banking business in
Wisconsin is just now in an unusually
prosperous condition. Twelve new banks
came into existence the past year and but
three failed. The increase in deposits
and volume of business is unparalleled
in the financial history of the State and
the increase in the number of banks is the
largest in recent years. The aggregate
resources of all the banking Institutions
of the State on Dec. ,, 1899, S14S,342,-
1866, compared with returns Of the
same date in 1898, shows an increase Of
$40, AS, 243.T6. There is also shown an
increase of nearly $2G,4S2,283.35 in in
dividual deposits and an increase in loans
and discounts of $1S,550, 1903. The cash
reserve held by the State institutions is
approximately 30.73 per cent and that Of
the national banks 29.33 per cent of their
deposits. A classification Of the loans
and discounts indicates that 31,012,
220.37, or 77.9S PER cent of this class of
assets, consists of paper with one or more
individual or firm names with or without
other personal security.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision of the Milwaukee Superior Court
il the garbage-plant case, the city being
defeated in its appeal The agitation over
the collection and disposal of garbage has
been perplexing the officials and aldermen
and citizens of Milwaukee ever since
Health Commissioner Walter Kempster
made his sensational statements in 1896
that garbage was being dumped into the
lake and had so polluted the water of the
bay that it was unfit for drinking pur-
poses until boiled. The statements were
vigorously refuted by the Wisconsin rem
dering Company and by the then city
engineer, George II. Benzenberg. The
company stated that there was no truth
in the allegation that garbage had been
dumped in the lake and the city engineer
said that there was no truth in the state
ment that the water had been polluted.
An effort was made to take the contract
away from the company, or, at least, to
withhold their monthly appropriation, but
it failed. The agitation gave rise To all
sorts of charges and counter charges and
scandals of every sort filed the air. The
contract of the Wisconsin Rendering
Company expired in August, 1896. There
was faction in the Council which fav-
ored municipal ownership and desired to
have a plant erected by the city and
operated as a municipal plant. But it
was decided TO again award contract,
and accordingly, on Dec IA, 1896, bids
| were opened. The Eagle Sanitary and
Cremation Company was the lowest bid
der. No sooner had the contract been
tatx- ln1 iYetn
suit was brought by Miller, Noyes ~ Mil
Ter, with j. IL. Rice as the complainant,
restraining the erection of the plant ON
the grounds that the city had no money
to expend for that purpose and had al
ready exceeded the limit of its bonded
Indebtedness. The suit of the plaintiff
was successful after being carried to the
| Supreme Court.

hann has issued the following letter of
warning to fire insurance agents, many
of whom he believed are violating the
statutes: Dear Sir--I wish to call the at
tention of fire insurance agents to the
provisions OF section l. chapter 100, laws
of 1899; also to section 1926, statutes OF
1898, which | understand are repeatedly
violated. Ii has come to my knowledge
that policies are being signed in blank by
local agents. and sent to the general
agents residing outside of this State, who
issue the policies so signed and receive
the premium therefor. This is a violation
of section /, chapter 1870, which provides
that policies may be issued at the COM
panies' department offices, but upon APP
plications procured and submitted to the
company by the local agent, and that he
shall enter such policy and the payment
Of the premium upon his records, which
| am led to believe is not done where Il
policy is signed in blank by an agent. The
State is the loser 90 the extent Of the tax
on these premiums, and other agents are
deprived Of their commissions on this
business when written outside of the
State Section 1926, statutes of 1898,
provides that any agent that procures any
insurance in any city or village that has
regularly organized fire department
must file bond in the sum Of ore thou
sand dollars with the treasurer OF such
city or village, and on failure so to do,
he is liable to fine of one hundred dol
lars. Any agent that signs blank pol
icy does not know in what part OF the
State the risk covered by this policy rs
placed by the general agent it may be
placed in some city or village that has an
organized fire department, wherein the
agent has filed no bond, which would
make him liable by reason Of having coun-
tersigned the policy. 1t viii be my earn
est endeayor to put stop TO this viola
ton.
