OF Wisconsin.

One OF the greatest problems Of to-day is
that of municipal government. The urban popu-
laiion is constantly increasing. In 1900 in Wis,
consin, for example. our total population was a
trifle over 100000. OF this number S75.S6S
were living in cities. Wisconsin has 81 incor-
porated cities. and in other states the proportion
of dwcers in cities to those in the rural districts
is as great and in some cases even greater. Dues
lions affecting so large percentage Of the people
are therefore of deep concern.

ATHLETIC MEET OF
PENSACOLA SCHOOLS

follows:
For first place, points; for second
place, 8 points, and for third place, l
point. For the 40 yard run, the stand
ing high jump, the standing broad
jump, points will be awarded for
first place and l point for second
place
The total count will be SO points
and the school winning a majority of
the points will be declared winner of
the series, and will be awarded a sill
yer cup or other appropriate trophy,
which will be hello by the winner until
it is lost at some subsequent annual
meet
The 40 yard dash will be mainly a
contest in the ability to start quickly
the 100 yard run will be mainly a con-
test of speed and the longer races will
be a contest of speed coupled with
endurance. The mile relay race for
the younger boys will give to those
who are not equal in speed to the
older boys an opportunity to take part
in the meet. This will probably be
the most exciting of all the races.
The other events, throwing the ham
mer, putting the shot, pole vaulting,
etc, will test strength and agility
rather than speed and endurance.
The meet will be held at either Pal
metto Beach or Kupfrian's Park.

LAST WEEK ONE OF THE LIVELI
EST ON RECORD IN THE LOCAL
REAL ESTATE MARKET-BIG
DEMAND FOR VACANT PROPER.
TY IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE
CITY.

The Fisher Real Estate Co. reports
the past week as one of the best they
have had for several months, the total
transactions handled by them aggre-
eating upwards of $4,000 The de-
mand has been principally for vacant
property and most of the larger deals
have been for realty in the down town
district. There has been considerable
inquiry for bay shore property with
very little on the market and prices
firm. Several deals were closed for
North Hill property, which has been
showing considerable activity of late.
Rental property is scarce and the
company has a large waiting list of
tenants for reasonable priced houses
and cottages.
The Pensacola Investment Com
pany reports having closed several
transactions during the past week,
much of which was for property in the
old part of the city. Mr.. ]. E. Still
man, president of the company, said
yesterday: Realty prices are good
and the tendency of the market is for
higher prices, if anything. There
seems to be a prevailing impression
that there are soon to be develop
ments in the way of another railroad
for Pensacola, but this has been heard
so long as a factor in the booming Of
real estate that it has been played
out. While We hope that there will
be some developments, still we do not
believe that prices should be inflated
with no better basis than a mere ru-
NOR, especially a rumor that has been
heard so often" The Pensacola In
vestment Co. closed a deal last week
with gentleman of Muncie, Ind. for
200 acres in their Perdido tract, west
of Roberts station
L. S. Brown G Co. report the best
weeks business in their history.
Sales have been closed aggregating
over $4,000 and numerous large deals

to a return match for a purse of
$1,000 and the bout viii take place at
the opera house on March 81
Taylor claimed, after having been
defeated by Eaton that he haG a bad
shoulder which handicapped him to a
great extent and, soon after the match
issued another challenge, which has
been acceted.
The match will be catch-as-catch-
can, strangle hold barred, and each
of the parties will deposit a forfeit to
bind the match within the next day
or two.

NUMEROUS DEALS IN
PENSACOLA PROPERTY

the resident districts of the city.
There has been considerable inquiry
Tor bay shore property but none is on
the market. East and North Hill
property has been in good demand
and prices have been about the same
as for the past two weeks, with slight
tendency toward an early advance.
ID. Hale Wilson & Co. report good
business during the past week and
have number of large transactions
now in hand which they exploit to
close within a day or two. A number
OF sales have been made recently but
none of them was of particular i'm
portance.
1hOs. c. Watson & Co. report a
number of deals during the past week,
the most important of which was the
sale Of the residence property of w.
A. Blount on East Wright street. The
amount involved in this transaction
was not stated. East Hill property
continues to hold firm with good de-
mand. Several inquiries have been
received during the past week from
out Of town people for Pensacola real
estate and it is expected that several
important deals will be closed with
outside inquiriers in the near future.
The demand for vacant property in
all parts of the city is good and the
tendency seems to be toward an ad-
vance in prices in all sections.
All of the other real estate men in
the city appear to have prospered re-

OLD TIMES
Skagway Quite Resembles
 Pioneer Days

The appearance in Skagway ot a troupe of vaudeville artists, men and women, and bunch of Is pretty dance hall girls has given the town an ap- pearance that was familiar in Skagwsy and Dawson in the earlier days of Klon- dike history. Both combinations will be in the city for several days, week or more, and both will entertain the people of Skagway. Last night the dance hall fairies gave dance at the Totem saloon and tonight the vaude vile artists will entertain the people at a first class family show at Elks' hall,
 While the vaudeville troupe and the dancehall crowd are making the trip together and under the same manage meut, they are as distinctly separate as they could be were they not in the same town.
 The opening at the Totem saloon last night attracted crowds that would dis sipate the idea that Skagwsy is losing in population. The spectators and dancers kept the house filled to the fullest capacity until the small hours Of the morning. The music by the Simon and Blake orchestra was excellent.
