further stated that he had always

that he moved to another and distant

to make trip to Cumberland and
relieve his conscience of the burden.
He not only paid him the original sum
but added So interest making the

MARSHF IELD REFUSES TO ABIDE
BY DECISION OF COUNTY BOARD
COMPANIES HAVE CUT
WAGES In THE WOODS

The big lumber companies and
logging operators are apparently en-
deavoring to materially cut the wages
in the woods. A scale instituted
places common labor in the woods at
about s22 month, provided man
stays three months or more and S18 a
month when the man stays only a
month or less. Teamsters aud Sawyers
are to receive $26 month on a thee
months contract, and S23 month on
a one month contract. AS the wages
were about $50 month last winter
for common labor, and S35 for. team
sterS and sawyerS, it will be seen that
this reduction is from 50 to $40 a
month.

CITY Council Authorizes Mayort
Pank0w to Call for Tax
Commission.
PERFORMANCE
REPEATS 1900 ACT
MarShfield Believes the County
Board Disseminated in
Property Valuation.

At a meeting of the Marshfield
common council it was decided to
authorize Mayor Pankow to COM
mence proceedings to secure a review
Of the Wood county real estate. The
reason Of it all is that MarShfield
feels she has been placed at too
high valuation by the county board.
1t was in 1900 that Marshtield
showed the same spirit in not abiding
by the decision of the county
board.
The commissioners will be ap-
pointed by Judge Webb.
The resolution passed by the Marsh
field council reads as follows:
Whereas, the mayor and common
council of the city of Marshfie Id,
Wood county, Wisconsin consider the
said city aggrieved by the action of
the county board of supervisors of
said county, at it's last regular meet
in November, 1903, in regard to the
equalization of taxable real property
valuations within the different towns,
villages and cities in said county.
"Now therefore be it and it is here
by resolved by the mayor and com.
mon council of said city, that the
mayor be, and he is hereby. instructed
to apply to the Honorable Charles NJ
Webb, circuit judge for said county,
for the appointment Of three COM
miSSionerS to review the action of the
said county board, at it's said meeting,
regarding the equalization of real
property within the county, and to
determine what sum upon the hund-
red dollars should be added to or
deducted from from the aggregate
valuations of real property as therein
made by said county board, in order
to produce just relation between all
the valuations Of real property; and to
perform such other duties and ex-
erCise such other power and do such
other and further acts and things as
they may do and perform and accord
ing to the law in such case made and
provided, and it is further
"Resolved, That the mayor give
notice to the county board of the ap-
plication above provided for, as
provided by law"

"MY DEAR SIR: have your letter
of recent date in regard 70 rural
routes. When | came down here the
first of the month, I Immediately
took up the question of rural routes
in my district with the post office
department, and succeeded in having
an inspector Immediately sent to the
Tenth district to investigate routes
for which applications were pending,
and my understanding was that among
those to be taken up were the applica-
tions for routes out Of Grand Rapids.
81 would suggest that you request
those interested in routes for which
applications are pending to address
letters to me on the subject outlining
in full the necessities for the service,
etc, and also to file any new petitions
which they may see fit.
II intend to push the post office
department as hard as possible for the
establishment of new routes in my
district this winter, and have no
doubt that in the course Of little
time something will be done.
Very truly yours,
w. E. BROWN"

Insane Must Paw.

st. Paul. Mimi, Feb. 27.-The cost
to the state in caring for the inmates
OF hospitals for the insane and the
Faribault institution for feeble mind
ed will be considerably lessened II a
bill introduced yesterday by Senator
G. w. Somervville off Sleepy Eye be-
comes a law.
Senator Somerville SAYS that the av-
erage cost for each inmate is S156. The
expense under the present law is borne
by the state, except that clothing is
furnished by the inmates relatives. His
bill provides that SIS, or half of this
amount, be contributed out of inmates
estate, by his relatives. OF by the coun
ty in which he resided before being
committed to the institution. The
measure holds the county liable In the
first instance and allows 1t to collect
from his parents, brothers or sisters.
II understand that there are inmates
IN our hospitals and asylums worth
over $4,000" said Senator Somerville.
81 see no reason why they should not
contribute something toward the cost
Of treatment. 1t is believed that a per-
son should pay for being cared for in
an insane asylum as lie doss in any
other hospital"

Caracas, Feb. 27.-The Nenzeulan au-
thorties at Puerto Cabello, after re-
ceiving the warship Restaurador, which
had been seized by the blockading pow
ers, have made an official report re-
garding the transfer and the condition
of the vessel The report reads in part:
The Germans before delivering the
Restaurador had sacked her in ruin
Gus manner. They carried off silver
ware, covers, curtains, electric globes,
kitchen utensils and even copper clasps
from the ships sides. The machinery
was purposely left out of order 1t was
necessary to employ mechanical engin-
GERS for twenty-four hours in order 10
place the Restaurador in condition fit
to go to sea. The pillage of the ship
was scandalous.'
German officers interviewed concern
ing this accusation declare that the
charge of the Venezuelan authorities is
false and assert that the ship was not
robbed. On the contrary, they said that
Germany had spent $4,000 in repairing
the Restaurador and had left $50 tons
of coal on board of her without asking
a cent for 1t.
