To PEOPLE who are aware of the heavy
expenses of the state administration
under the La Toilette regime the great
ado which is being made in the admin
istration press over the fact that no
state tax is to be raised this year is a
source of infinite amusement. Anyone
who is not the most gullible of half
breeds is perfectly we'll aware that but
once in the last two decades and half
has there been direct state tax levied,
except for school purposes, which is
raised annually, and which will be levied
this year as usual. 1t is the kind of
buncombe also which will iniure rather
than aid the state administration when
the true facts in the case are placed be-
fore the public. This parading of the
fact that the administration has been
able to avoid a state tax is likely to
prove boomerang, as it's belief that the
public will be gullible and swallow such
statements of the economy of the La
Toilette administration rates the intelli-
gence of the reading public in Wiscon-
sin too low. This political buncombe
will disgust the citizens of the state,
most of whom are too we'll posted not to
understand the true Observation-Disclosures

"A new play to our theater- goerS
comes to Royal hall Friday evening, Nov.
Sd. 1t is said to be one of those com
edy melodramas suited to the taste of
the popular priced circuit and was writ
ten especially with this view to enter
tain the masses. There are situations
that are humorous and lines that are
said to be bright and the piece contains
plenty of action. The play, which is in
four acts, should please the patrons of
Royal hall. A genuine tramp, detec-
tive, life insurance agent, wealthy
rogue and deceitful husband, a perse-
cuted wife and mother, a beautiful
daughter and a village ne'er-d do we'll, are
the principal characters which go to
make up Manager Newell's comedy SEN
sation, "a Jolly American Tramp" The
play is from the pen of Mr.. Kidder, who
is responsible for more tender, touchi ng,
pathetic, notwithstanding plays than
any other author now before the public.
His Peaceful Valley" and "A Poor Re-
lation" made Sol Smith Russell famous
and millionaire. In this work he
promises to surpass his other efforts and
give US piece that for stirring situa-
lions, startling climaXes, as we'll as heart
touching interest, cannot be surpassed.
Manager Newell has cast "a Jolly Amer
lean Tramp with care, selecting only
artists eminently fitted for their respec-
tive roles. Comedy and pathos richly
blending, touching that weIl-spring of
emotion-the heart, and causing the
disabilities of it's beholders to broaden
from smile into a hearty laugh, may
be expected. There are specialties in
PRODUCED in each act. Songs that.reach
the heart, witticisms that will bring
smiles, comedy that will cause laughter,
and sensational clmaxes that will thrill
all who witness the startling situations
contained in ga Jolly American Tramp"
on Friday evening, Nov. 3.

SECRETARY JOHN M. TRUE of the state
board of agriculture says in his October
crop report, just issued that the potato
crop this season will be about % per
cont. less than last year. The report is
based upon returns made by correspon-
dents in all sections of the state within
the last couple of days. The counties in
the southern part of the state apparently
suffered less from potato blight than
those in the big potato raising counties
in the central division. Mr.. True es-
Inmates that the yield in the southern
counties will be 3 per cent. of that of
last year. yet it will be much more re-
munerative to the farmers on account of
the prevailing high prices.

An English Ghost Story.

A remarkable ghost story is told IN
the parish Of Burton Agnes, England
There years ago lived three sisters OF
the name Of Boynton. The youngest
Of the three eXacted the promise from
the others that on her death her head
should be placed ON a table in the hall.
She met with an accident shortly after
which resulted in her death. Her sis.
tiers neglected their promise to her,
and she was buried, head and all. But
on the night after the burial the hall
was thrown into terrible confusion and
the dead lady appeared to her sisters
with her head under her arm. She
upbraided them with their neglected
promise and, placing the head on the
table, disappeared. In the morning
the head was still there, and on the
CONN being dug up the body was found
to be headless. Any attempt to re-
move the head was followed by dis
turbances during the night It was
even buried at a distance from the
house. but was restored by the ghost
Eventually the head disappeared, but
the disturbances continue nightly in
the hall.
