feared in the community, concluded
that an inquest was not necessary, as a

LINES OWE WISCONSIN
STATE HAS SEVERAL THOUSAND
DOLLARS COMING FROM
BACK TAXES.

Madison. Wis.,, April 11.-state
Railroad Commissioner John w.
Thomas has reported to the governor
that his investigation OF the books
and records of the railway companies
operating in Wisconsin shows that
they owe the state $67,923.07 in back
taxes, due to their failure to report
their entire gross earnings upon
which their taxes are computed. The
investigation, he says, is only partially
completed, and will consume consider
able more time. The report gives the
results of the investigation for four
roads only, and for the years of 1901
and 1902. These roads are the North
western, the Milwaukee, the Omaha,
and the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie. According to the
report, the gross shortage In their re-
turns of earnings for the period
named is 81 sos, 076.63.

Will Take Precedence Of All Business
in the Senate.
Washington, April 1.-THE appro-
priation' bills this week will take the
precedence of all business in the SEN
ate, but it is nor than probable that
political discussion will take up most
of the time nominally devoted to ap-
preparations. The postofice bill will
divide attention early in the week with
the conference report on the Indian
bill. BY the time these two measures
shall be disposed of it is expected that
the sundry civil bill will have been
reported from the committee on ap-
preparations. 1t is quite generally I'M
derstood that several Democratic SEN
ators will reply to Senator Spooner's
speech of Saturday. Senator German
will be among the number. There
may be an effort made to get up the
Panama canal bill during the week,
but not if it would interfere with con-
sideration of appropriation bills.
