Waupun, Wis, July 15.-[SpeciaL j
Mrs. Jane Walker of this city, is an
original daughter of the American revo-
luton. She is now % years old. Mrs.
Mary Mead, her close friend, and an
other original ID. A. r.. died some years
ago, and Mrs. Walker is now one of the
very few of her kind in the United
States.
Mrs Walker was one of the first set
tiers i'll Waupun. Over fifty years ago
she came to what was then an almost
wilderness. Early left a widow, with
she managed her farm and raised her
family.
Mrs. Walker was born at Ferrisburg,
VT, August 81, 1910.
She is the youngest of fourteen chill
dren of whom she alone survives. Her
father, Joseph Powers, was born in New
Hampshire, September 7, 174S. In 1776
he enlisted in the army and served faith
fully until the end of the war, being
present at the battles Of Lexington and
Bunker Hill. Mr.. Powers was one of
seven brothers, all of whom were revo-
lutionary soldiers, one being killed in
action.
Mrs. Walker remembers of how, when
a child, her father took her on his knee
and told her many interesting expert
ences of the war. OF the battle of Bun
ker Hill she says:
Il do not know very much of what
my father did in the American revolu-
ton, but | have heard him tell many
times of the Battle of Bunker of Hill,
what a fierce struggle they had, how
their ammunition gave out, and they had
to fail back.
''But they were not whipped" added
the old lady with a pride.

He Knew What He Wanted.

a Chinaman recently made his ap-
pearance at a drug store in Charles
town, Mass, and presented a prescrip-
he was given the powder the clerk was
particularly careful to tell him that it
was the deadliest of poisons, and that
he must be careful in using it or leaving
it around. The clerk was somewhat
surprised few hours later to see his
customer returning, supported by an
sick. Guessing that his directions had
not been followed out, he prepared an
antidote, and by hard work revived the
sufferer.
The explanation of the disobedience
was given with the stoical, convincing
manner of the east.

THE STATE IS A VICTOR.
Railroads Lose Tax Penalty Suits
in Dane CiTcu ) Court.
TO APPEAL THE CASE.
fudge Stevens Decides That Railroad
Commissioners Acceptance of Re
ports Did Not Prevent Action.

. Madison, Wis, July 15.-ESpecial.l i
Wisconsin is entitled to recover 100000
from the railroads operating in the state,
according to a decision given by Judge
Stevens in the circuit court yesterday.
THE state won its case against the Chi
cago & North Western, Chicago, Mil
-waukee & st. Paul, Chicago, st. Paul,
minneapolis & Omaha and the Mime
apols, ST. Paul q SauIt Ste. Marie rail
roads.
Court Finds for State.
The court finds the state is entitled to
recover from each Of these roads $lO,-
900, as these lines admitted they had in
correctly filed their reports of gross earn
Sings made to the state for the year 1902.
CHE same statute provides for separate
Denalty for each year that incorrect re-
ports were fled
The state still has an action against
these roads to recover penalties upon the
reports Of earnings which they made
for 1903. The state has penalty suits
also against the Wisconsin Central road,
ahe Green Bay and Western, the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy and Hi
Dois Central.
On the basis of this decision the state
would be entitled to recover total OF
100000.
Governor Says He Is Not Through.
This litigation is a result of a special
anessage sent by Gov. La Toilette to the
Legislature of 1903. These penalties
are only q small amount of what the
governor says he is determined the rail
roads will be compelled to pay to the
state. On gross earnings withheld he
says they still owe to the state per
pcent. upon the total amount of gross
earnings, which will amount to some
$450,000
"After reargument of the question"
says Judge Stevens, ''the court is still
iof the opinion that the act of the rail
road commissioner in indorsing his ap-
Droval on the report of the railroad is
an immaterial act and that such APP
Droyal did not prevent the plaintiff from
maintaining this action. 1t appears from
ahe facts stipulated that the defendant
knowingly and Intentionally omitted a
substantial portion of it's gross earnings,
&relying on the advice Of counsel. This
advice is not an adequate defense"
The railways also claimed that the
license fees imposed by the statute were
Fin cCltlict with the commerce clause OF
the federal constitution. The court holds
ITO the contrary.
