SYLVAN LAND co. CASE.
Supreme Court Reverses Decision of
Judge Ludwig.

Supreme Court Reverses Decision of
Judge Ludwig.
Another turn was given the famous
Sylvan Land company case when the
supreme court yesterday reversed the
decision of Judge Ludwig in the SUI
pren1e court in favor of stockholders
who had brought suit against the pro-
motors on allegation that land had
been turned over to the company by
the promoters at an advance of
SIS, 900.
The suit, which has been in the
courts six years, was begun by stock
holders againt C. w. Milbrath, Henry
c. Roethlesberger Edward J. Wagner,
Thomas Hansen, Robert Kreischmar,
Joseph Lindemann, E. P. Thomas,
Robert w. Mueller, w C. Okershauser
George c. Amann and Clinton Texter.
Trial of the case the last time before
Judge Ludwig occupied nearly four
weeks. Three times the case was
taken to the supreme court on tech
nica1ities.
Misfortunes of the company we're
caused by the panic in 1898.
There has been frequent assertions
in reports of trials of the case that
$500 was at stake.
Said Mr.. Milbrath yesterday: "All
transactions i'll question have been
with stock, not cash.
'SThe Sylvan Land company has re-
vived from the panic of 1893 and is
now in good condition. =

PETITIONS FOR QUARLEs
Being Circulated in Milwaukee Under
Primary Election Requirements.

Being Circulated in Milwaukee Under
Primary Election Requirements.
Says the Milwaukee Daily News to-
day: The primary law situation as
sumed strange phases today.
The Sta1wart Republicans, who
have been its bitterest opponents,
now that tie law has been accepted
by the people and Attorney General
Sturdevant has rendered an opinion
that he believes it is in force, took ac-
tive steps this morning toward COM
p1iance with the law by the circu1a-
ton of petitions for the candidacy of
Joseph V. Quar1es in a primary for
nomination as United States senator.
Their position is that under the terms
of the law primary election must be
held for the nomination of United
States senator.
The petitions for Senator Quar1es
have been drawn aud will be placed in
circulation for the signatures of citi-
zens of Wisconsin this afternoon.
They simply announce the desire of
Senator Quar1es to stand as a candi-
date for United States senator before
primary.
Although the friends of Mr.. Quar1es
decline to say much about their plans,
it is known that if the LaFo11ette
leaders continue in their present
course of refusing to call a primary
election for the selection of a United
States senator, it is possible man
damus proceedings will be begun
against the secretary of state to COM
pei the calling of an election.

W. H. Harrison is Re.eIected
Supervisor of Assessments
for Term of Three Years.
DALTON is A CLOSE SECOND
Silver Lake Man is Given the United
Support of His Party for theNOff1ce,
But Fails by Two Votes.
I From Thursdays Daily

Joseph E Dalton, of Silver Lake,
had his second political defeat in
fortnight today, when William Henry
Harrison of Randall was reelected to
the office of supervisor of assess
ments for the county for a term of
three years.
Dalton had the united support of
the Democratic members of the county
board, but 1.-THE old man from Ran
da11' as Mr.. Harrison was dubbed by
one of Supervisors, nosed him out on
the first ballot with a majority of two
votes.
A strong fight had been made
against the reelection of Harrison,
and this morning Dalton came into
the field, and it was thought for a
time that he would be able to secure
an election. However, the matter
came down to a party vote, and Har-
rison had the majority needed.
The board passed a resolution
granting the new supervisor of assess
ments the power to employ a deputy
when such an officer was needed.
The salary of the deputy was placed
at So. SO day.
Much of the time of the county
board during the last two days has
been taken up with the discussion of
the office of the supervisor of assess
ments. At the afternoon session of
the board Supervisor Harrison pre-
sented his report, showing what had
been done by him during the year just
closed. The meat of the vo1uminous
report presented by the officer is
shown in the following tables, in
which he shows that the assessed and
true value of the real estate in the
county is getting nearer together
each year. The report shows that the
assessed value of property in the diff
ferent towns bears the following rates
to the true value, as ascertained by
the personal inspection of the super
visors:
Town. Per cent of true value
brig hton. ......t..... ......... $40

Odlem. ...........-..> -. .....9o.1
Nooul0i .. '.'...'... .9T'o
Wheatland. Observation-Disclosures. 49,
Average for the county towns. go. 3
The report shows that the assessed
value of property in the city is
So, 271, 724, and the true value, as set
by personal inspection of the prop
erty, is So, 678, 7O5.
The total value of property in the
city and county is placed at $18, 975,-
$40, while the assessed value is
$18, 1913, ia.
Mr.. Harrison submits another table,
in which he shows the assessed value
of the property as compared with the
true value, as established by sales
during the year in the county. This
table shows the per cents as follows:
DI1S HtOn. $4,000. 70
