ton. The New North says:
|EThe committee of the Modern
Woodmen detailed to get 'lp Fourth

FACTORY FOR CAMERAS
Is One of the Possibilities of the Ear
ly Future Fifty Being
Made Now.

Messrs g Cleveland have TAX
en- the contract to make a lot of fifty
camera boxes for the Moe Photo
Measurement concern to be used in the
prosecution of that company's business.
Mr.. Moe has been casting about for
contractors to do this work, but has
decided that the best way to it is to
have them made at home under his
own supervision, where he will be GER
tain to have just what he wants.
The local people are doing this work
as an initiatory order and, if all goes
we'll, as every assurance indicates, a
factory will be equipped to make all
the cameras needed in the future by
the Moe Photo Measurement concern
and probably for market.
AS soon as the manufacture of cam
eras is systematized it is intended to
add the manufacture of other photo
graphic apparatus. The concern is
likely to increase in proportions to a
large one.
Mr.. Moe feels convinced that pho
Biography in it's practical phase is in its
infancy-th that in the future many OF
those who now treat the the art as a
fad or amusement, will adopt the
practical side. One of the fields OF
practical photography is in the facto-
ries of the country in supplying illustra-
trations of their productions, but the
usefulness Of the Photographic art per-
vades every portion of the industrial
field.

Men in Legislature at
Madison.

Madison, Wis, April IL. The assem-
bly, this morning passed the adninistra-
ton railroad rate commission bill with
out amendment by vote of 81 to 10.
Numerous amendments were offered for

Leroy to the chair snd took the lead in
The fight for the administration meas
ure.
Altho it was generally conceded that
he bill wonld pass the assembly, the
final vote was somewhat of surprise
to the administration leaders. It was
supposed that all democrats and stall
warts would oppose the bills passage
after the amendments had failed, but
almost all these members voted with
the administration men.
All members who introduced amend
ments stated before the vote was taken
that rather than have no commission
they would vote for the administration
measure.
The bill in it's present form provides
for a commission of three members,
whose terms are for six years each,
with power to fix rates arbitrarily.
The debate on the bill lasted three hours.
The assembly also passed measure
relating to thr liability of telegruphic

er and j. A Corbett and are
Captured.

Robbers entered the homes of Geo
B. Goocher and John A. Corbett Mon

and three dollars in money, a revolver,
razor, knife and box of legal documents
were carried off.
At the Corbett home they secured be-
tween twelve and fifteen dollars and
some clothing.

almost certain evidence that they were
on the right track.
At Flambeau the officers learned that
the robbers had gone to Holcombe and
the pursuit was continued to that place.
A girl at the hotel had seen two men
get into the barn and there the officers
found them asleep. Putnam's revolver
and Hebard's muscle soon put the irons
on and the trip back was proceeded
with.
The men were taken before Justice
Rooney and plead not guilty. They
asked for time to secure counsel and
were allowed ten days. In the absence
of $1,000 bail they were taken to Barron
for confinement.
Mr.. Goocher's revolver, knife and raz-
or were found on the persons the cap
tured men. The box of legal papers
has Lot been recovered. The adjourned

He WASN'T ELIGIBLE CANDIDATE
Claim is Made that G. A. Huffman
was not Eligible to the Office
of Supervisor.

1t is claimed that the election of c..
A. Huffman to the board of county
supervisors was void for the reason
that at the time of election he was not
eligible to the Office.
Reference is made to the statute
which makes clerks of the court and
deputies ineligible to election to the
county board. At the time of election,
Mr.. Huffman held the Office of deputy
clerk of the circuit court, having been
appointed to that position at the begin
ming of E. w. Hills term.

shown by his books, to-wit 50, 1864
Owing to the old system which pre-
vailed in the parish of ST. Mary of
turning over all parish licenses to the
sheriff. without making any memo
randa as to the number or amount.
and without taking receipt showing
the number and amount of licenses. it
is utterly impossible to check the col

Der of licenses turned over. But the
Books have the appearance of having
been properly kept. and all licenses
collected properly entered. We there
fore. state that in our Judgment all
settlements have been correctly and
properly made.
This cannot occur in the future, as
the Police Jury of the parish of st.
Mary have provided printed licenses
with serial numbers. and have adopt
ed the same system as adopted by the
State in turning over licenses to the
