WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
Larger Interest.

State Treasurer John j. Kempf re-
ports that the amount If interest earned
On state money deposited in banks in
Wisconsin during the second quarter OF
this year was $S,117.83. During the first
quarter this interest amounted to So
$3.50, and this year it will approximate
about one-third more than last year The
reason for the increase is that the state
has more money on deposit than 1t had
a year ago, the increase being due In
part to the S4S0,000 received some
months ago from the federal government
for civil war claims.

Gates. Drake and Lambert quit the
season heavy losers. They had one
pooled bet of 100000 and left that sum
with the fortunate bookmakers. On
another race Drake placed $4,000 on
Runnels with the bookmakers Weller,
O'Leary and Cartwright-and lost.
1t was the season of the man who
places 500, or some such sum, on each
race. This class of betters carried
away with them heavy winnings.
They picked the long shots, and it
was a season for long shots.
For the same reason it was a more
than usually profitable season for the
women, who are partial to the horses
on which the largest odds are offered,
and their winnings have inspired a
betting fever among the fair sex such
as the city never knew before. One

he would have quit the track if it had
not been for upholding his reputation
as a sport. Such are the ups and
downs of the gambler.

the closed, or winter, cars, used
throughout the entire year. officials
of the companies say this is necessary
because of the increasing number Of
accidents caused by the open cars.
Nine out of every ten of the accidents
for which the open cars are blamed
happen to women who persist in getting
off backwards. With the closed cars
it is possible for the conductor or mo-
torman to watch the passengers, as
they must get off at the ends of the
car. but this is not SO with the open
cars. and women have never learned
to wait until a car stops or to face the
front when getting off.
Aside from these accidents the car
companies favor the open car. 1t will
carry third more passengers, which
means third more receipts. 1t is also
possible to make better time with
them than with the closed cars, as the
passengers can get on and off more
quickly, and the saving of few Sec
onds at each stop means many dollars
in the companies pockets in the ag-
gregate.
But these advantages are more than
offset by the loss through personal in
jury suits brought by women who
persist in getting off backward
