ASSESSMENT STANDS.
Baraboo Must Pay Tax on Its
Water Works.
(From Fridays Daily.J

By an almost unanimous vote,
the county board of supervisors
today voted not to eliminate the
Baraboo water plant from the
assessment roll.
AS the plant had not come into
tie hands of the city at the
time of assessment last spring, the
property was necessarily placed on
the list as taxable, and technically
the county is correct in declaring
that the city must pay on it a
county and state tax. 1t would
have been we'll had the city made
some provision covering this matter
at that time.
However, the county andstate tax
will amount to on by few hundred
dollars, and in view of the new
court house, we will all continue to
feel pleasant.

GET THEIR MONEY.
Annual Happy Time For The
Winnebagoes.

Black River Falls, Wis, Dec. L.
Superintendent and Disbursing
Agent Axel jacobson of Wittenberg
has closed the annuity payment to
Wisconsin Winnebago Indians here.
He has already made a payment at
Wittenberg, and will make pay
ments at Tomah, Mauston, Necedah,
and Friendship, the Winnebago
agency in Nebraska and at Tama
City, Ia.
The share of each Indian this
year is 1884. The amount paid
out here was $11,885.27, and the
number paid was 500. Of these two
are over 80 years of age and thir .
teen over so years of age.
In 1903 the total enrolment was
1850, while this year it is 1851 the
first time there has been an increase
in number for over five years. On
account of most of the children at
tending schools, which have been
established and are now being con-
Quoted by the government, they are
gradually adapting themselves to
white customs and manners and
becoming civilized.
About the year 1874 the govern
ment transported all the Winnie
bago Indians to a reservation in
Nebraska, but in the course of
time about one-half have returned
to Wisconsin. Allotments of lands
we're given the Indians after they
were removed to Nebraska by the
government. The lands thus taken
were considered worthless for many
years, but are now becoming
valuable, being worth from So to
$50 an acre, and bringing their
owners good rentals.

NO CONSOLIDATION,
No Truth i'm Story of Circus
Combine.

For several days there have been
vague rumors in the Milwaukee
papers relatives to a combine of the
two big ci1euses of the country, viz.
Ringing Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey.
Mr.. Chas. Ringling states that
there is no truth in it, further than
that an understanding has been
reached whereby the routes will be
SO laid out in the future that there
will be no conflict in the territory
covered. The United States is a
big country and with only two
great shows in the field there is no
occasion for both.to exhibit in the
same place at approximately the
same time.
Relative to the Ringing show
opening in New York next season.
Mr.. Ringling states that the place
has not yet been determined upon.
For several seasons the opening has
been in Chicago.
One important matter that the
two concerns have agreed upon is
the practical abolishment of free
passes in payment of window
posters. The two shows will also
wage war upon excessive license
fees

The citizens Of GAINESVILLE feel
that they have suffered a great
loss because the contemplated
change in the running of trains di d
not go into effect. The Gazette of
that city says: " A ter a great deal
OF consideration Ind figuring by the
officials Of the North Western road
in Charge Of this division of the
road, it is thought that the con-
templated change in the running or
all trains through here will not be
made. The plan as. first out lined
was that all crews and engines on
trains passing through Janesville
be changed here. This would mean
that d large number Cf men with
their families would have to move
from other cities along the line,
where the changes are now made,
to this city. The object of the move
was to get better service and
though nothing definite is known
by local officials, those in a position
to know think that the plan will be
dropped and no such change made.
The condition of Engineer T. D.
Byrne is as favorable as could be
expected under the circumstance
although he is suffering not little
from the severe scalds which he
received on Monday when the plug
blew out of the engine as he was
going down the grade towards
Merrimack. When the hot water
and steam came out he climbed
through the window to the front OF
the cab where he rode for severa
miles in the cold until the trair
stopped on the Merrimack bridge
It was impossible to set the all
with the lever in the cab so he was
forced to cling to the engine az
best he could.

the land companies centering in st.
Paul represent $5O,O0O,OOO capital
They have brought scores Of thou
sands of settlers into the northwest.
Their operations extend thruout the
country.
Now a number of these companies,
representing far the larger portion Of
the business, are seriously consider
ing the advisability of removing from
st. Paul to Minneapolis.
Strange as it may seem, only
small portion of the northwestern land
business has been handled in Mime
apolis. The first companies to enter
the business on a big scale located in
st. Paul because it is the railway
clearing point. The railways make
ST. Paul the transfer point for all
their thru business and the travelling
public is in the habit of changing
cars there. This made it handy fer
the land men to have their offices in
st. Paul not far from the union sta
ton. Business follows business, and
so other companies, even tho largely
supported by Minneapolis capital, To-
Gated in ST. Paul, making that city
the largest land market in the world
The land. men feel, however, that
they have never received the recog-
milton or encouragement they were
entitled to. Conservative st. Paul has
looked askance on their brilliant op-
erations. Immense fortunes have been
made in the business, empires have
been bought and sold, and armies of
people have been moved from old
homes to new. but it has remained
t for Minneapolis to attach to this great
work it's due Importance.
The land men have realized more
and more, too, that for operations re-
quiring large capital and extensive
publicity, Minneapolis is better CEN
ter from which to work than st. Paul.
By reason of its grain trade and flour
mills, Minneapolis. is more closely
identified with the agricultural and
land interests Of the northwest than
Est. Paul. The great market town for
the products Of northwestern land is,
they now think, the natural headquar-
| ters for their operations.
These land men who are especially
interested in removing the headquar-
tiers Of the land business from st. Paul
to Minneapolis are now hard at work
on the plan, and a definite announce
n.ent is probable within a few weeks
it being the intention to open offices
in Minneapolis before beginning the
| spring campaign for business.
