The Bayfield, Press Of last week
contained the following:
A new county Office was created
last winter by the legislature to be
known as county supervisor OF as
sessments. The county board elects
the, new officer at it's session in No
vember for a term of three years.
The salary of the supervisor shall

He shall have complete supervision
and direction of the work of all the
assessors in the county and shall

assessors of all the towns in the
county for instruction relative to
their duties in the valuation and
assessment of the property IN their
respective towns. He shall; during
each year, make personal visit to
each town in his county as often as
may be necessary. In order that
he may secure knowledge and full
information of the assessment dis
tricts of the county he shall have
access to all the public records,
books and papers OF the officers
throughout the county and shall
make full and complete examina-
ton of the same and all matters and
subjects relative to the assessment
and taxation of property.
The county board may authorize
the supervisor of assessments to or

and shall have the power to person.
ally value and assess different kinds
and classes Of property previously
assessed so that he may ascertain

rights and powers of an assessor
for the examination of persons ard
property and for the discovery oil
property subject to taxation.

MAJOR GENERAL ADNA R. CHAFFEE.
10, as. trooper in the Sixth cavalry
in the regular army. He fought his
way up to a captaincy, receiving two
brevets for gallant and meritorious con-
duct. In the Indian wars that have
taken place since Chaffee played a con-
spicuous part, gaining his rank of ma
jor "for gallant and efficient services"
On Feb. q, 1890, again ''for gallant
services" he became lieutenant colo
nell
In May, 1893, Chaffee received his
colonePs eagles in the regular army
and the stars of brigadier general in
the volunteer service. His good work
during the short struggle with Spain
is fresh in the minds of the public, the
wound he received at Ell Caney being
lis third while serving Uncle Sam.
General Chaffee's most recent serv-
ice has been in command of the Amer
lean troops in China, where he still is.
He and his men and their work in the
Middle Kingdom have won golden
opinions from most observers, although
it is said that Count Waldersee is
much displeased by the outspoken com
ments of the plain American lighting
man. on the conduct of some of the
German troops. 1t is even whispered
that the kaiser's government asked for
Chaffee's recall but the esteem in
which the Washington authorities hold
him is well shown by the fact that he
is still there and has just been pro-
noted.

A Chicago paper speaks of the
police having arrested twent y- three
goats in that city for the violation of
the ordinance against running at
large. This reminds one of the
notice posted some years ago by the
chief of police Oshkosh which ran like
this: "Notice-Owners of dogs are
hereby notified that If found running
at large without muzzle they will
be shot. But SO far as heard from
no owner of dog was ever shot for
running at large without a muzzle.

CONGRESSMAN BabcOck, OF this
state, is one of the most talked of
members of the lower branch of
congress, all on account of his
avoWed intention to again intro
duce his bill to repeal the tariff
duties on iron and steel, which is
controlled by the Morgan billion
dollar syndicate. Some leading
republicans take the position that
inasmuch as Mr.. Babcock is
chairman of the Congressional
Committee, and a member Of the
Committee on Ways and Means
of the house that his position is
inconsistent with the party's
principles, which have always
been to give the fullest possible
protection to American indus
tries. On the other hand it is
asserted that the trust handling
these articles has been foStered
by the tarrifflegislation, and Mr..
Babcock takes the very com
mendabie view of the matter that
the republican party is always
for the people and not in the in
terests of any particular class of
people. He and his supporters
further maintain that the great
Capitalists associated with Nor.
gan have absolute control of the
markets and that competition
with such a syndicate is an ab-
solute impossibility; and that
concerns operating in these
branches are holding their prices
too high, and that in this par
ticular case there is not the ele-
ment of competition which is
lOU1u Ill OUl1Ol vi dI1ClOS VI OOSI-
ness, to bring prices down to a
normal and legitimate basis. If
this condition exists as Mr..
Babcock claims, it is certainly
something that demands radical
legislation, and while the princi-
pie and policies of the party
always have been not to take the
tariff off American products, yet
a productive policy never has be-
fore fostered any industry, and if
it does in this instance the proper
thing to do is to adopt the sug
gestions of the Third district
congressman and let Mr.. Nor
gan and his associates, who have
been controlling everything with
their vast capital, go up against
a little European competition,
which will teach them that they
must behave if they are to have
the benefit of tariff legislation.

IMAM IN SHIRT SLEEVES"

His New Rank by Good Service.

Major General Chafee Has Earned
His New Rank by Good Service.
Major general is the title just given
to him by the president of the United
States, and it has been we'll earned, but
it Is open to doubt whether General
Adna r. Chaffee thinks more highly Of
that title than he does of the one Of
''the man in shirt sleeves" which he
won at Ell Caney. However that may
be, it is undoubtedly true that the lat
ter title best expresses the quality of
the man.
There is nothing fanciful about Ma
jor General Chaffee. He is a fighter,
pure and simple, as his record amply
proves. The IMAM in shirt sleeves" is
not graduate of West Point. He en-

NO THIRD TERM.

PRESIDENT Mckinley has put
a stop to talk of a third term by
issuing the following statement.
He says:
81 regret that the suggestion
of a third term has been made.
[ doubt whether [ am called
upon to give it notice. But there
are now questions of gravest i'm
portance before the admidistra-
tiona and the country and their just
consideration should not be
prejudiced in the public mind by
even the suspicion of the thought
of third term. In view, there
fore, of the reiteration of the
suggestion Of it, I will say now,
once for all, expressing a long
settled conviction, that [ am not
and will not be candidate for
third term, and would not accept
a nomination for it, if it were ten
dered me.
"My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the
acceptance of my countrymen,
whose generous confidence [ SO
deeply appreciate, and then with
them to do my duty in the ranks
of private citizenship.
