HOW TO REBUILD THE MARKET

should build the market house II they have
to borrow $4,000 or S5OONO 10 do 1t. As
far MS the city hall IS concerned we can
anord to let that wal until the finances
on the city are arranged. DO not believe
In being two fast In a mutter OF this kind.

Alderman Bennett Of the Fifth ward
said; I'VE are not in a position to com.
plete this undertaking and do not believe
In burdening the incoming administration
With any such obligation
-
Alderman Tunly and Alderman O'Leary,
both OF the Fourth ward, have practically
the same ideas upon the subject They
think the market should be built but
that the city hall should be left for fu.
ture consideration They contend that this
can De done without issuing any bonds or
burdening the city with any debt, as the
$40 900 Insurance due on tho building thar
complete the market und The city han
could be built later when the city Is In
better position TO undertake it.
Mr. Pete Chalmers, q city official, though
not an alderman, makes quite an original
suggestion nnd one that appears to De
feasible. He says that the county Is badly
in need Of % new court house and county

Outside OF the question Of finances, the

old building a special committee was mp

consisted Of Aldermen Thompson, chair

FOUGHT WITH WOLVES.
Farmer Near la Crosse, Wis.,, Al

Farmer Near La Crosse, Wis, At
tackled by Ravenous Pack.
La Crosse, Wis, Jan. 1S.-As the re-
suit of a running fight in his own
barnyard with a pack of wolves, which
he encountered in an effort to protect
his hog pen from their depredations,
Olaf Halesrud lies probably fatally in
jured at his home, few miles north
of the city.
Wolves have been particularly trou-
blesome in this locality of late and a
strange feature is the preference they
show for pork over mutton.
During the night Halesrud was
awakened by a commotion near the
stable. Upon Fastening to the scene
with a lantern he found two dead and
partly devoured hogs in the pen Know
ing it was the work of wolves he start
ed for the house for weapon, but in
climbing fence the lantern, his only
protection, was eXtinguished.
In the darkness he could distinguish
the coal-like eyes of a dozen wolves.
He ran, but the pack was Immediately
upon him. Several times they dragged
him down, decorating his flesh terribly,
but he struggled on and gained the
shelter of the house, where he fell I'm
conscious on the floor. His death is
hourly expected.

Louisiana Purchase Exposition VIII
Be Held in 1903.


Washington, Jan. 18.-Ex-Governor
Francis of Missouri, in response to
request from the Associated Press.
made the following statement regard
ing reports that the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition would be postponed
from 1903 to 1904:
II was much surprised to learn that
statement had been printed to the
effect that | had virtually admitted
that the fair would be postponed from
1903 to 1904. | have never advocated
nor contemplated such action. On be-
half of the local company | desire to
say that it can be ready for the expo
sition in 1903 and will be ready. When
some newspaper men asked me If the
fair would be postponed and | made
negative reply was asked if we could
not prepare better fair in 1904 than
In 1908 I replied yes, and so can we
prepare a better fair for 1904 than for
1904. | cPnnot say why this state
ment should be construed as an ad-
mission that the Louisiana Purchase
exposition would be postponed from
the date fixed by congress and an
nounced by the president in his proc
lamation inviting foreign countries to
participate.
Some of the European governments
have sent replies declining and one
object of my visit to Washington is
to ask the state department to bring
additional pressure upon such govern
ments to reconsider their conclusion.
If, however, they refuse to do so, 1t
would not mean that st. Louis would
not have exhibits from those coun-
tries, as our commissioners would
make appeals to manufacturers and
other exhibitors therein"

will come from the public service COR
porations, who will be hard hit by the
franchise tax. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that they will make any strenu-
GUS efforts to knock out this feature.
If they take any hand, it will be to
cripple the measure in an indirect
way.
State Auditor Dunn suggested in a
recent interview in the Journal that
the attendance of the three tax COM
missioners be secured at the capitol
during the session. To do this will
require resolution requesting their
attendance, and appropriating money
to pay them for their time. Such a
resolution will, without doubt, be in
troduced.
Some of the amendments suggested
to the bill, which are strongly sup
ported, can be adopted without ham
pering it's general provisions The
strongest objection is raised to the sec
ton reducing the personal property
exemption to $50. John G. Sweet, re-
preventative from the thicrty ninth
district, said today:
From my reading of the bill, the $25
exemption is about the only feature 1
would oppose. The poor man pays
enough taxes now. Everything he
owns is reached. The assessor can see
his furniture, his horses and COWS,
wagons and other chattels. 1t is the
man who owns bank stock, or has
money in the bank, who escapes.
From the talk have had with people
in my district, they seem ito favor
leaving the exemption at 500.
Former Governor. Lind also objects
to this change in the law. His prin-
cipal objection is, however, that the
new code does not impose any tax on
foreign corporations doing business in
the state, except the fee required by
the Somervlile law. Many such things
were considered by the tax commits,
sion, and will be made possible by the
amendments to the constitution pro-
! posed in their report.
Odin Halden, county auditor of ST.
Louis county and candidate for state
auditor, objects to the new method Of
bidding in property at tax sales, under
which it goes to the man bidding thu
amount charged at lowest rate of in
! terest.
This, he says, is in the interest O
the owner, who is pretty we'll takel
care of already.
The tax title sharks bring none!
: to the state, though they are by N
means philanthropists. In general
Mr.. Halden approves the law
By securing the attendance o
Messrs. Ives, Childs and Hahn at tn
extra session, the legislature may maxi
sure that such amendments are pro
perly drawn, and that they do not CON
fiict with other sections of the bill
Thanks to the industry of Stat
Printer Whitney, the new law was il

and bound thousand copies of 222
