In an English watering town, where
the streets are narrow in some quar-
tiers, a highly novel expedient has been
devised to avoid accidents due to col
lislons of teams and cyclers at such
street corners. Two mirrors, about
yard square each, are attached to a
lamp post at points where s narrow
street runs at right angles into the
main thoroughfare. These are so plac-
ed that the users of the roadway can
see what is moving along the other
street before reaching the corner. There
are many localities In large cities
this ingenious expedient of minimizing
risk of collision might be utilized with
advantage.

Attempt TO Burn Two Boys.

Two boys, Eddie Seyberth and Frank
Bonnen. aged Is and 10 years, reached
their homes in Eau Claire the other night
bruised and cut from an encounter with a
man who robbed them and tried to burn
them alive in a summer cottage. The
bows went down loves creek, two miles
from town, to cut Christmas tree.
While they were at work man appeared
aud attacked them before they knew his
intentions. He knocked both boys down,
backing Seyberth's eye and breaking
Bonnell's collar bone. He then strapped
the boys together with big strap, which
the had taken along to carry home the
Christmas tree. gagged them and robbed
them of the little pocket money they had.
He started away, leaving the boys bound
in the snow, but returned, and, dragging
them to an empty summer cottage OF the
creek. he threw them inside, and, fasten-
ing the door, set FIRE to the house. The
boys managed to get their hands free and
tore the gags from their mouths. BY that
time the flames had gained such Roadway
that il seemed as if they must perish, but
they struggled desperately and finally
loosened their bindings enough to escape
from the cottage.

According to the returns Of local assess

Wisconsin, this year is S108i,6S7 ISL.
This is 1851. 500, 419 less than the equal
lied value fixed by the State tax com
mission recently sitting as the State
Board of Assessment. These figures are
based on returns received by the Secre-
tary of State from the various counties,
all of which have reported except Oneida,
and the figures used in that case are
those recently fixed by the State Board
of Assessment. 0mitting Oneida County,

Oneida County $5,SSS, 35W and its re-
turns are not expected to differ much
from those figures. Last year the re-
turns of local assessors fixed the total
value of all taxable property in the State
at $746,022,932. which is about $3.50
664 ,649 less than it will be this year, the
increase being about 80 per cent. The
State Board of Assessment last year
fixed the value of all property at $780,
100000. Judge n. s. ellison, State tax
commissioner, said that the returns of
the local assessors would considerably
decrease the rate of taxation of sleeping
car, express, freight and similar COM
panies whose property is taxed at the
average rate of taxation of all property
in the State. Revenues from these
sources will probably decrease between
40 and 80 per cent. As railroad COM
panies proper are taxed on their earnings
per mile Of road, they are not affected
by the increased valuations. The State
Board of Assessment reviews the re-
turns of local assessors, and this year 1t
may, If it deems proper, increase these
assessments for State and school pur-
poses. The greatest beneheiaries of
these increased assessments will be com
mon schools and local governments.

Gov La Toilette has receil cd a report
from n. c. Comstock, special agent for
the adjustment of claims held by the
State against the United States. who
has been investigating Wisconsin claims
for money for war purposes between the
years 1861 and 1865. The report says
that almost 100000 may be added to
the State funds from this source within
a reasonable time. In his report Mr..
Comstock says that the State has a valid
subsisting collectable claim against the
United States for cost, charges and ex-
penses properly incurred in enrolling,
subsisting, clothing. supplying, arming.
equipping, paying and transporting its
troops founded on the act of July u,
1861, amounting in round numbers TO
about 100000. The United States gov
eminent admits that Wisconsin expended
81, 165, 470.1S, all of which money had
been borrowed by the State on bonds
bearing per cent interest. The account
ing officers of the Treasury Department
uniformly held that no State or individ-
ual was entitled to receive interest upon
its claims against the United States, and
understanding this. to include interest
paid by the State upon its loans for war
purposes, no claim for interest has ever
been filed by the State of Wisconsin,
Contrary to this ruling of the Treasury
Department, the Supreme Court of the
United States held that such interest
charges were not to be considered as in
terest, but as a part of the expense prop
erly incurred in the raising of troops;
whereup0n many of the States having
claims similar to our own filed with the
Treasury Department claims for this in
terest upon their loans made for wal
purposes. Therefore the 100000 inter
est money win be paid the State in a
short time

CARDINAL MORAN ON IRELAND.

There is one economic feature of this country at the present day to which we cannot close our eyes. We see a never teasing gradual decrease of population so that while fifty years ago we hal more than 100000 of inhabitants. to- day. commenting a new century, We are not more than 4,5O0.000
 In this. however. there is one redeem ing feature. As a result of the emigra- tion from Ireland's shores new Irelands are springing up on every side. gird- ling the world with friendly nations wherever the language or scepter of the British empire holds sway. And now. as of old. the sea divided Gaels are one. We are one in sympathy and affection for the old land. We are one with you in national sentiment and national life, one in resolve that in so far as in us lies every grievance under which the Motherland Of Erin suffers shall be redressed.
 It has been often said that the Catho- lie Celt has gone with a vengeance from Ireland's shores. Without a doubt. We have gone to many lands. No English speaking country is so remote but Erin's sons will be found among the most prosperous. the most enlightened and the most industrious of it's citizens. foremost in love and justice. in hatred of tyranny, and in defence of freedom. If we have gone with a vengeance we will be sure to come back to Mother land. I do not say that we will come back with vengeance, for the word revenge" is not 10 be found in our voca bulary. But we will come back with all the filial affection due to the mother whom we love. We cannot but regard her grievances as our own. her sufferings and hurliliations as our own: ard with strong arms and generous hearts we will leave nothing undone that filial piety may inspire to achieve for old Ireland the fullest measure of those blessings which we enjoy in the emOtest homes of our exile. I thanl. the Almighty that I was born in Ire land. poor Ireland. suffering Ireland holy Ireland. I venerate the footsteps of Ireland's early saints. her ruined sanctuaries, her wayside graves.
