MADISON VALUATIONS
HAMMER SAYS THEY ARE UN-
 USUALLY LOW.
Officials of the County Were Com plImented by MT. Sedberry,
 But the Low Assessments are Criticised.

Ipa one year the tax valuations of Mad ison county have shown the remarkable decrease of $225, ,597
 Attention to this unusual decrease in valuation is drawn by the reports of Assistant Examiner c. F. Sedberry upon the books of the officials of that county.
 Mir. Sedberry reveals the big decrease in his report upon the books of Tax As eessor John w. Garner. He complimented the neatness and correctness of that of ficial's bookkeeping.
 'fBut the valuation of property in this county" says the report, seem to me entirely too low and 1t seems to be get ting lower instead of higher While I did not make a full examination of the assessment books of 1902 because it has not yet been fully completed. l see from the total valuation of all property as returned by the assessor, 1t is far below the aggregate returns of 1903. This ought not to be-"
 The examiner says that he directed the attention Of Mir. Garner to the low as- sessment and MT. Garner said, that there had been much confusion in the county for some years, but now great improve meat ss being made. A new system of assessment has been adopted and better Ha@laltS ara axpected. f..s

JOHNNIE PAGE STRICKEN
Popular Little Actor is in WiScou-
 sin Sauitarium,


 Chicago, Nov. 2S.-"Johnnie" Page, the famous little eccentric dancer. who has made thousands of theater-goers laugh at his antics, has been placed in san- itarium by "The Burgomaster" Com pany.
 Page was found by the company in Butte, Mon, a few weeks ago. and was brought East. He was practically desti- tute, and approached William P. Cullen, manager of the company. asking for position. Cullen agreed to try him, and did so, and Page made one of the most pitlful failures in the history of the stage. It was seen that he had completely lost his memory. When the time came for his turn" he stood on the stage, uncer- tain what to do, and had to be escorted of, without doing anything. Cullen then determined to bring him East. and when the company reached Chicago, made ar arrangements to have Page placed in an asylum. While this was in progress. Page ran away from his friends, but was found by acquaintances in Minneapolis, and under instructions from "The Burgo- master" Company, was sent to sani- tarium in Waukesha, Wis, for treat ment.
 William Riley Hatch of 'aThe Burgo- master" Company has been appointed custodian of funds for Pages benefit, and an appeal for aid has been sent out to members of the profession who have known him.
 Page made his first great hit with Ward and Vokes His greatest acts were to slide across the stage on his ear, to hold one foot in his hand and jump through with the other foot, and to dance with reckless abandon. accompany ing the act with humorous talk. He was feature with Alice Nelson in ''The Singing Girl" and was a special fea- ture with 'The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" in New York.
 A year ago he commanded, 1t is said. a salary of 500 a week. To-day he is pen niless, except for the money that has been furnished him by The Burgomas- ter" Company. His condition is said to be improving.

In thirty years 1891 .o7e Italians have come to this country. This immigration has a very peculiar character. Until 1890 the percentagt of women was less than 5. but now it hal increased to 39. This indicates that the i'm migration has a marked tendency to become permanent. Thirty per cent. or more of Italian adults who have been in this country more than ten years went back at least once tC country again, bringing their families with them. During the time in which the famiiy is not here the man sends some money weekly to Italy.

LONG FIGHT TO BE ENDED.

Hartman Makes Overtures to South
ern Pacific Stockholders.
NEW YORK, March Sit is learned on
excellent authority, the Tribune will say
tomorrow, that negotiations are now
under way for the settlement of the fight
between the Southern Pacific stockholders
and the Hartman interests who are prac-
tically in control of the Southern Pacific
Company through stock ownership invested
in the treasury of the Union Pacific Rail-
road Important developments in the
the cause for current differences may be
looked for in the course of a few days. and
according to information secured from
financiers, who make the Waldorf their
headquarters, arrangements will be made
by which the minority holders in Southern
Pacific will not carry out their proposed
plan to overthrow the Hartman manage
ment.
A few days ago, the Tribune article con-
tfnues, the secretary of the Southern Pa
tice that an injunction would be applied
for on behalf of Talbot j. Taylor * Co,
representing the minority holders In South
ern Pacific, preventing the voting of the
Southern Pacific stock held by the Union
Pacific; also demanding list of the stock
holders of the Southern Pacific Company.
Within an hour of this service the notice
was withdrawn without any explanation
from the law firm representing the South
ern Pacific minority holders. Subsequently
it was announced that the order had been
withdrawn, as 1t was found that a list of
the stockholders could be obtained after
the closing of the companys books on
March 20. The real cause, however, of this
hasty retreat was, according to reports to-
day, overtures from the Hartman inter-
ests for an amicable settlement of the
trouble.
