A xnRn To rAx-pAYERs

1t is we'll known that great inequali-
ties exist in the apportionment of taxes,
both rs between individuals and taxing
districts, and that these inequalities to
a considerable extent are due to want of
efficiency in the administration of our
assessment laws. Large amounts Of
taxable property are ommitted from as
sessments as ordinarily made, and much
of that which is assessed is unequally
valued These conditions can and must
be remedied by electing honest and in
telligent assessing officers.
Taxpayer attend the spring election
and do your duty.
Respectfully yours,
o. r. GAUPER, Supt. Assessment.

Some Long Hauls.

Several loads of tobacco were deliver
cd to Earle and McGinnis of The Central
warehouse from beyond Chaseburg.
When we consider that Chaseburg Is
nearly forty milee from here, verify do
we wish that the proposed electric line
from La Crosse to Viroqua will extend
to this place and thus benefit the farmer
and those who may have business here.
While we feel proud Of the fact that our
beautiful county seat will be benefited,
we cannot but hope that in time we will
enjoy the same blessing they are about
to receive. .-Readstown Herald.

Arm Terribly maugled.

While working at Snyders mill last
Wednesday, John Donahoe, whose home
is at La Fargo, sustained terrible in
jury to his right arm BY some means
the arm was caught in the belt that runs
the carriage and drawn between it and
the pully. The mill was immediately
shut down and when the unfortunate
map was extricated from his sad pre-
dicament it was found that he had sus-
tainsd three fractures of the alma and
two of the radius besides the dislocation
of several small bones of the wrist. The
arm will be in very good shape after the
healing process, for which Mr.. Donahoe
has reason to feel some qualification. =

So pledge that we shall rise.
Why should Thy people languish;
Why murmer or repiae;
We have not reached Thine anguish
We bear no cross like Thine.
