Court House News.

The Akron, Bedford & Cleveland
Railroad Co., asks that the court set
aside the Judgment Of $500 returned
n the damage case, in which Bert
Eckerman, administrator of the estate
OF Mary Hallen, was the plaintiff.

esting. The questions We're submitted
by the defendant These and the an.
swers were as follows:

Hallcn attained their majority, save
that the youngest was 10 days under
age? Yes"

Yes"
Were not the married children

or? No."
lis II not a fact that the children
were spared instead Of being caused
expense, by the death of their mother
No"

It Was a Successful Fair.

Viola managers met somewhat the same
fate of other surrounding fairs with re-
spect to unfavorable weather. The
three last DAYS were, however, clear and
dry but with a stiff wind prevailing
Altogether it was an exhibition of the
products of the soil, handiwork OF the
home and farm and showing Of animals
that the management and community
have a right to be satisfied with.
The stock show nearly equaled that
at our fair. In all departments the pens
and stalls were insufficient to aecommo-
date the number of entries All the
breeds Were represented. A good bunch
of premium money was brought to this
county hy exhibitors Floral hall was
well filled with an array of finery.
The race meeting, too, was not infer
ior to any held in this part of the state
this season. A tield of upwards of forty
animals entered the races, and consider
ing the cold season there was number
of good and fast trials OF speed Our
home horses Jared rather slimly in the
purses, but they cannot always be win
ners, and they all had extremely fast
company In their numerous classes. In
the free-for-all pace Vernon was favor
ite with the crowd, and for nearly the
entire first mile he led his three fast
competitors, bnt the day was too cold
for him and he lost the heat and race.
The first half he made in i OCT. McWil-
ton won the race Best time 21S4.
June E. secured fourth money in the
2:34 trot.
There. were IAN unusual number of
concessions on the grounds, which added
not little to the revenue of the society.
Financially the Viola association may
be counted with the most lucky Of Wis
consin's county fairs. 1t was otherwise
o success.

Madison, Wis. Oct. s.--we, had a
visit from Mr., ELLA Usher last week.
that very bright Milwaukee writer.
He has been down east lately. In aud
about Boston. where he has three sis
tiers, all of them, or their husbands,
engaged in the higher activities that
interest cultivated people. Mr.. Usher's
ancestral home is Buxton, Me-, and
beginning with the Mayfiower, the

les rallying the necessary force to pro-
duce our Wisconsin friend. MIR Usher
spins many interesting stories for one
like myself who never tires of these
New England traditions. He did a
real service in his article sone years
ago for the New England Magazine on
the men who had come from that Sec
tdon to Wisconsin. He was sick one
winter and diverted himself by get

the Reform club push, who have long
cultivated him as a member and rep

is always pleasant and like the wise
ones who play about the pool Of poll
ties, does not take it too seriously.

The other Side of 1t.

OF course, Judge Gilson is no tsro
in reaching conclusions. he Is a very
wise man and does not go Off half
cock. His idea Is that, while the plan
OF full assessment is sound and should
be permanent, the present unforeseen
contingencies cali for a special inter
probation when 1t comes to the state
basis. Just why he believes the law
provided that property should be as
sesssed at its market value for local
taxEtfon purposes. and at less than that
value for state taxation purposes. the
jadge declines to say. He reasons that
the neglect Of the legislature In not
limiting the amount to be raised by
tlse min tax for common schools is
followed by snch serious consequences
as to warrant intervention to protect
arc entitled TO 1-mill tax on the as
sesssed valuation, of the state. Last
year 1t wGs S636,000. property being
assessed low: this year It is more than
twice as mnch-S1. 100000. No wou-
der Judge Gibson is staggered This
school tax bears heaviest on the rich
counties, with proportionately few
children, and fs a boon to the new,
poor counties, where children abound.
It was these counties that blocked tho
effort TO limit the amount In the legis-
lature. II 1t was anything except edu-
cation to which this increase OF $780,

The Increased Assessment !.

Haugen assio tae increased assessment
OF taxes It Is understood that Mr..
Haugen was disposed to dissent, but
was held in line by the contentious OF
Mr.. Curtis, who Is a very able man,
with nerve to burn. The reasoning OF
those who indorse he increased assess
thus:
1.-THE state tax commission, and no
one else, started this demand for full
value assessment II issued circulars,
instructions, warnings to local asses
sors from Kenosha 10 Ashland to screw
values up to selling price and quoted
court decisions to show what such val
ues are. The response was noble. Up
went assessed valuations 100 per cent.
and even more. Now that the returns
are In, some people are afraid they
look too big. Bankers and large prop
erty owners are saying, Where will
this lead tor 1t is a. time for tax re-
formers to stand the!f grourf. The
full assessment Plan is the best. and
when once installed win make for
Justice, clearness and economy. But.
