A Big Insurance Order.

It is quite a credit to our little town
to have listed among our business men
an insurance agency having scope of
authority extensive enough to bid on a
million dollars of insurance. But that
is just what Henry johnson did last
week when the state board of control
placed contracts for insuring all the
state charitable and penal institutions.
There were but three bids received,
Henry Johnson, Edgerton, Main & Rus
sell, Madison and Culver Harper Agen-
cy of West Superior all offering the
same rate per cent on all the institu-
tions except the state prison, on which
the rate is 219 per cent, all for three
years. These are the same rates at which
the risks have been carried. The total
amount of insurance on all the buildings
is S925,0O0, and the state will pay a pre-
MUM of $40, 637 so for the three years
insurance. The division is made equal
among the three bidders, and it is left to
them to say how the policies should be
placed.
Mr.. johnson is accustomed to taking
big lines of insurance, having handled
the major portion of the tobacco risks in
this city for years, but this is the biggest
job he ever went out for and it is a big
feather in his cap that he was able to
bring down so large slice of it. The
Culver-Harper agency have 100000 of
their portion written by Mr.. Johnson's
agency.

A meeting of the assessors of Rock Co.
was held at GAINESVILLE Wednesday to
discuss and agree upon definite and
uniform line of work in listing the tax
able property of the county. A commit
tee of the county board who were at
Madison on Friday in consultation with
the tax commission were also present
and gave the result of the conference.
The state tax commission is determined
to have all property in the state assessed
at it's full valuation and warns assessors
that they will be promptly prosecuted if
the statutes are not carefully and con-
scientiously complied with. The COM
mission has prepared and in few days
will send out pamphlet of instruction
to the 1900 assessors of the state. The
pamphlet is of state wide Importance in
asmuch as it outlines the general policy
of the state tax commission. The in
structions close with this significant
paragraph:
''The laws enacted by the legislature of
1901, especially those imposing severe
penalties upon assessing officers for will
full violation of official duty, plainly in
dictate that the people through their
represen tatives insist that such violations
of law as have heretofore been customary
or occasional, particularly the practice of
differentiation, must be abandoned. To
this end the members of this commission
will cheerfully aid and assist assessing
officers as far as lies in our power"

Tobacco Notes.

Mr.. N. P. Strauss, of Madison resident
manager of the leaf business of the
American Tobacco Co., leaves for the
south in a few days and the announce
ment is made that he is to be united in
marriage on June 10Th to Miss Bessie
Fersbee Shaw. The ceremony will take
place at the home of the bride at Hen
derson N. c., and wedding trip to the
eastern summer resorts is anticipated,
returning to Madison about July LIST.
Congratulations and best wishes of the
tobacco trade are theirs.
The last big lot of very old tobacco
remaining in the state consisting of 672
cases of '97 packed by P. o. Rinde at
Stoughton was sold this week to o. K.
Roe for the account of E. Rosenwald &
Bro. The deal involved an investment
of about $4,000. 1t is rather an unusual
thing these days of quick returns for a
packer to have his money tied up three
years in single years crop.
M. Ell. Bekkedal, the Westby tobacco
man who recently sold about s35O,OOO
worth of leaf, leaves next Monday for a
trip to Norway the place of his birth.
Sixteen years ago Mr.. Bekkedal came to
America and paid for his passage after
he reached Wisconsin by farm labor.
He can now return and show his old
friends bank account that will prove to
them that Wisconsin is a good country
to emigrate to.
Warehouse No. has been sold by A..
S. Flagg to We'll & Sons of New York, for
s17O0. The purchaser will remove the
building and erect new modern ware
house on the site, having storage ca
pacity among the largert in this market
The location is the only remaining site
on Front street where a warehouse can
be built running back from the street to
the tracks and will fill out the row of i'm
posing brick warehouses that line one
side of the main business street of Ed
gerton. The new building will be 4Sx2OO
feet, two story and basement, brick with
slate roof and similar in construction
and equipment with the most modern
warehouses in the state. Mr.. We'll hopes
to close the contracts for the erection

turns to New York.
F. G. Borden is in the market for

Obituary.

Emily Jensen, aged years, who died
of scarlet fever at Sumner May %, was
buried at night. Little Emily we will
have to give you up; we have done all in
our power for you, but in vain. 1t is
hard for father and mother to bury their
dead at night. Your memory will be a
beacon light to us in our remaining voy-
age of life. AS we stand around your
open grave tonight the rough clouds fall
with heart rendering sound upon your
little casket. But we look up toward
heaven we think there is not a rift in
the clouds, but we see bright star
shining through we realize this is our
star and we know that you are there be-
yond the clouds safe at rest. We turn
our steps towards home, we. hear the
song of the night bird, the thought
comes to US of the little happy Birds
who will sing in the trees above your
little grave as the seasons come and CO.
The violets, daisy and golden rod of the
country cemetery will in their season
bloom for you over your sleeping head.
When they gladden. our hearts in the
spring they will not forget our little girl.

Fine Service Over the New Short Line.

Fine Service Over the New Short Line.
The new train service inaugurated on
this division of the Milwaukee road
Monday give SO frequent occasions for
people to get out of town that it will be
difficult for some of us to stay at home
as much as we ought. The three new
trains via of the GAINESVILLE short line are
the finest equipment that has yet been
put on this division, all vestibuled and
each carrying drawing room car. Their
leaving time at this station are at $3.50,
9:59 a. m. aud 4:25 p. m. Returning these
trains reach Edgerton at Hos a. M. and
7:15 and 9;25 p. m. making the run in 3
hours and quarter. The early morn
ing train connects at GAINESVILLE with the
morning Milwaukee train due to reach
that city at $50 a. m. So far the new
schedule has disarranged the mail SER
vice some delaying the time for getting
the morning daily papers, and prevent
ing entirely receiving the evening papers
the same night by mail. These defects
will doubtless be remedied. AS the en-
gineers running the new Chicago service
were strangers on this line pilot has
been riding the cab with them most of
the week between Ma Olson and James
vile. About all that is needed to make
the service complete now is for some
method to get west between Milton and
Madison before noon. AS the schedule
now stands all trains go east in the early
morning and west in the evening.

EASY FOR THE CENSUS.
The TabuIatOrs Found the Treasury
Pitcher to Their Liking.

Some one circulated the report that
there would be a baseball game at the
National Ball Park yesterday and several
hundred spectators went out to see IL,
but when they arrived at the park they
were told that nothing Of the kind was
to take place. and that the men who OPP
crate the tabulating machines at the Cen
sus Office had merely gone out to have
a little practice and timber up, with the
Treasury team furnishing the victims. The
Treasury lads asserted that it was all
hosh to say that the Census team had
won all their games by superior playing.
and that IL was merely luck that enabled
them to hold the lead so long. They SAID
that with the team they had out yester-
day they could easily shut out the doughty
statisticians but that remained to be seen.

few days after her marriage her father

emily regretting that their son had mar
ried her. About week later, Mrs. Bar
clay states she visited her sister, and
when she returned in the evening to the
home of her husbands parents she says
her father-in-law ignored her and re-
fused to speak to ner.
The following Sunday, she says, hel
father-in-law said to her, You had better
go home as he did not think Leslie, her
husband, was able to take care of a
wife,

she returned to her home, but did not
take her clothes with her. These, she
states, were sent after her week later

drive her from their home" Robert h.
