TWO RAILROADS
FIGHT TAX LAW.
Important Litigation Begun by the Mil
waukee and the Wisconsin &
Western Companies.

Madison. Wis, Jan. 9.-[SpeciaI.[-
Important litigation was this morning be-
gun by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway and also by the Wisconsin
& Western railway. The complaints are
substantially alike, except in the matter
of amounts. @. III. Van Alstine filed
both complaints against the state, with
Treasurer Kempf and Attorney General
Sturtevant, impleaded.
In general the papers claim that chap
ter 80, laws of 1903, is unconstitutional
as there is no uniformity of assessment
prescribed by it; that companies have
been assessed for sleeping and parior
cars they own, while other companies,
that lease these conveniences, are ex-
empted; that street railway carry pas
sengers and freight from city to city,
but are not taxed as railroads are. These
are few Of the allegations made and re-
lief is asked from operation Of present
laws.
The Milwaukee company has paid
S197 ,861.5 in taxes and the Wisconsin
& Western 1864, and they express will
lngness to pay, but assert that the law
would force them to pay at an unequal
rate and that the system of assessment
the law proposes is both unfair and un-
constitutional
Attorney General Sturtevant said to-
day he would defend the state and HIM
self in all courts before he would admit

VICTORY FOR UNION.
Judge Belden Has Refused to Enjoin
'Longshoremen's Union at
Racine.

Racine, Wis, Jan. 7.--[special.I-
This afternoon Judge Belden of the cir
cult court rendered a decision in the
suit Of John f. Clancy, coal dealer,
against members of the local Longshore-
mems union, denying his motion for a
permanent injunction to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from visiting or entering upon
the Clancy coal docks and interfering
witk the business Of or intimidating any
Of his employees.
Last spring the local stevadores were
unable to make contract with Mr..
Clancy for the unloading Of coal from
steamers because Of a matter of wages
to be paid and he hired non-union men
to take the place of the union men and it
was claimed that the non-union men
were intimidated by the discharged men
and the temporary injunction was issued,
but the order on this injunction was not
brought up until today when a motion
was made that the temporary injunction
be made permanent.
Judge Belden decided that no cause
existed to have continuance of the in
junction and an appeal is to be taken
from his decision in this case.

TO DISPLACE PNEUMATIC TIRES.
New Spring Wheel Said to Be a Perfect
and inexpensive Substitute.

The difficulty Of securing. motor
wheel which shall combine the resiliency
of that fitted with the pneumatic tire
with the hard wearing qualities of that
fitted with the solid is, apparently, some
degrees nearer solution, inasmuch as
Beccles engineer has produced spring
wheel Of which great hopes are enter
tanned.
Considerable ingenuity has been ex-
pended upon its construction, and it is
claimed not only that it is vastly more
durable than the wheel now i'll use and
equally easy running, but that the strain
set up by contact with the road, is dis
tributed over the whole of it's mechanism,
that 1t has spring drive, that the shock
of impact with any object is received by
the tire alone and absorbed by the spring
drive within the wheel. and that the
chance Of side slip is Sensibly. diminished.
The principle of the invention consists in
a number Of short. laminated springs ar
ranged tangentially within the. wheel, and
connected at their eGtremitiess by ES stsnI
of levers with the apices Of TIE star
shaped frame Of the wheel anH Nth each
other, The center of each spring IS also
attached to carriage, which is free to
move mo along "a curved groove tie inter .s
outer periphery is attached a Solid rubber
tire. The star shaped frame already
mentioned is rigidly fixed to- the center of
the wheel On starting car provided
with wheels Of this character, when the
turning movement is given to the center
Of the wheel. the whole frame, springs
and carriages move forward under resist
ance from the springs until the extremi-
ties Of the grooves in the periphery are
reached by the rollers of the little car
riages. When this happens the wheel
is rigid, and frame and peripherysf lirn as
one. Gradually, however, the tension
between the periphery Of the wheel and
its frame relaxes. and then a STEADY bali
ance is maintained between tRsm..--
don Express.

Starchy Food.

A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy Of eight years. whose
parents did not feed him ont the right
kind Of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak conditions Of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and af-
ter the operation the DOCTOR knowing
that his intestinal Digestion was very
weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice a
day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his father states.
'He has grown to be strong, muscu-
lar, and sleeps soundly, weighs g.
pounds, and his whole system is in a
fine condition Of health" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
It is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period
in his life, and kept from thes use OF
foods that be could not digest. he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth Of all kinds of microbes, set
ting up a diseased condition which is
the active cause Of appendicitis. and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made Of tie selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory. all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment Of
all parts of the body particularly the
brain and nerve centers.
