VISIT MIL WAUkEE
Tells DR.. Schmidt He Will Do
So If He Can Leave
Germany.

DR.. Schmidt of Stuttgart, who is
visiting in Watertown at present
while on his way to attend the world s
conference of biologists in Mexico, has
thrown Milwaukee in a futter of ex-
citement by saying that Emperor
William of Germany may visit there.
"When | left nome a few days
ago. said the doctor, who is close
to the throne in Germany, "the En-
peror himself said that if he could SO
arrange court and official matters he
would crafty his desire to see Amer
lea, and he looks forward to visiting
the great city of Germans in Wlscon-
sin.
'Since the visit of Prince Henry to
this country the Emperor has felt
deep interest in the United States, and
especially in Milwaukee.
DR.. Schmidt says that the packing
house disclosures in Chicago created
widespread horror in Germany, but
that confidence in American meats is
being gradually restored through the
medium of the many reforms which
have been instituted.

Gorgeous illumination.

State Fair week at Milwaukee is
consin. The efforts of the Board OF
Managers, of the Milwaukee Advisory
Committee, of scores of contractors
and of hundreds of Individual eXhibi-
tors will crystalline September 10th
into an event the equal Of which has
never been known in this state. Mil
waukee people have been showing ar
unusual degree of interest in the Fair
and are determined to lend their best
efforts in swelling the attendance
at the grounds every day and night.
They are particularly determined that
the night shows at the State Fair shall
be a stunning success and to assist in
promoting that feature they have ar
ranged for what will be the most
brilliant and artistic illumination Of
the downtown streets of the city ever
attempted in Milwaukee. Grand
Avenue and Wisconsin street from the
Post Office to the Public Library and
many of the side streets, running north
and south, will be covered with d
canopy of hundreds of thousands of
coICred incandescent lights In arched
formation. There will be no reason
why every man, woman and child in
the city during that week does not
know that it is State Fair week and
that 1T is his duty to attend the Fair,
not only once, but many times. This
beautiful illumination should be an
additional attraction to people Of the
state to 90 to Milwaukee to attend
the State Fair. Special railroad rates
of one fare for the round trip will
prevail on all railroad commencing
Saturday, Sept. 9Th, and good until
Saturday Sept. Is, tn.

MRS. SARAH LADE- t

UNCONSCIOUS FROMTU sDAY I
UNTIL THURSDAY
Lady is IS Years of age { lives
Alone-Has Earned LiVi With
Her Needle Suffered ST &c of
PdrdlysiS-DoCtorS Pronounce
Her Very Lew.

A rather sad case recently came to
light of tie suffering alone of one of
the old residents of this city. Nearly
all of the old residents of Watertown
know Mrs. Sarah Labeere, who has
lived here for over fifty years, and
reached the age of SO years. She has
lived alone and earned her living with
her needle with such help as she re-
ceived from friends. Last Tuesday,
while at work at her home, she fell
to the floor where she remained until
Thursday. when she recovered suffi-
GENTLY to crawl to d window and at
tract the attention Of neighbors. Mrs.
Robert Dent, who has taken an inter-
est in the old lady for many years,
being notified of her condition, went
to the home at once and Immediately
ordered a bus and had the sufferer re-
moved to her residence. Yesterday,
Mrs. Labeere experienced a shock of
paralysis and DR.. F. c.. Werner,
who is attending her, gave no encour-
agement as to recovery. Mrs. Dent
is certainly q Good Samaritan and
there is no doubt but that the other
life long friends of the stricken
woman will assist Mrs. Dent in her
kindly and loving ministrations.

LEARN THE REAL
VALUE OF STATE
Tax Commissioners Agents
Gather Much InfOr-
nation.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 27.- From
many points in the state the agents
Of the Wisconsin state tax commission
some fifteen in number, are returning
to Madison, carrying with them data,
which the state commission will use
taking it's assessment Of all property
in the state.
The state tax commission has this
work now we'll advanced, and com
pletion of it's task is locked for before
the end of September.
Prof. Thomas s. Adams of the
university is in charge CT the work
Of investigation which Ike tax COM
mission has been carrying on for the
last two years. He has a suite of
offices in North Hall, and a half dozen
clerks are busy compiling the data
brought in by the field men.
Wisconsin is the only state that
thus far has made an attempt to ascer-
tain, accurately and completely, the
value of the real property of the state.
Kentucky has made similar efforts.
but has not developed the work to the
extent that has been the case in Wis
consin.
The figures sent IN by registers Of
deeds are not accepted by the com
mission in these counties in which Mr.
Adams men have been working.
The consideration cited in the fieIc
document is often inaccurate and mis-
leading. Not intrequently the con-
sideration is stated as $l00 when 2
valuable piece of property has been
sold. Property is assigned by men tc
.heir wives to avoid lawsuits for 9
purely nominal consideration. Trades
are made affecting the consideration
materially, which Go not appear II
the documents filed at the register Of
deed 5 office. These facts make the
iIed figures unreliable,
The men under Prof. Adams di-
rection make an attempt to find out
the real selling price CT each piece d
property recorded. The true value
must be cscertaincd.

gentleman whose home had been bur-
glarized came to this city and identi-
fed part of the things found upon
the person of Hoffman, and the Column
bus chief Of police took him back to
answer for his fooIishness for break
ing into houses and coming to Water

offenders againts the law.
The fellow created a disturbance in
a couple of the saloons while in COM

he was certainly guilty as charged
in the complaint. whereupon, the
Judge informed him that the "peace
and dignity of the state had beer
disturbed to the extent of S. and costs
which were paid and to make it more
binding and to show that he harbored
no i'll feelings against the battered
and bruised complainant invited him
out to have a good drink at his eX

if nothing out Of the ordinary had hap
pened to mar their friendship.

Some idea as to what it costs to
run this government may be gathered
from a statement recently issued by
Thomas P. Cleaves and James c.
Courts chief clerks respectively of
the senate and house committees on
appropriations by congress at its last
session appropriated for the fiscal
year 1907 nearly a billion dollars.
The exact amount is 1919, $50, 1875, 16,
representing an increase of $50, 404,
sos, 20 over the sum appropriated the
last session of the fiftyeight congress
Of 1906. The largest item is con-
tanned in the appropriation for post
office department, the amount allotted
being $19l, 695, 1913. Is. The next larg-
est sum was given for pensions, the
money appropriated amounting to
$40, 245, 500, or nearly twice as much
as was allowed for the support of the
army and over forty millions more
than was granted for the naval estab
lishment.
Of the net increase of $50, 404, $50. 20
over 1906, it is stated SAP 447 POI. 08
was for the Isthmian canal, the bal
ance being accounted for through the
appropriations for the carrying out of
the meat inspection law, the con-
tinuance for river harbor work, the
reorganization of the diplomatic and
consular service, and the extension of
the rural free delivery service.
On the Subject of new offices and
employments, Messrs. Cleaves and
Courts say:
1.-THE new Offices and employments
specifically authorized are 1884 in
lumber, at an annual compensation
of Sc, 615, $40; and those abolishd or
RENTED are 5,285 in number, at an
annual compensation of 81, 100, 100, a
net increase of l ,649 in number and
$2,605, 761 in amount.
''Deducting from the net increase
of 1,649 new salaries and employ
ments, 1896 additional employees for
the postal service, there remain only
283 net increase in employments for
all other departments and branches

Are Legal Holidays.

There will be two legal holidays in
succession in the beginning of Sep
TENDER, the Sd which will be Labor
Day and the 4th day for holding the
primary election. 1t is probably the
first time in the experience of the
people that two legal holidays have
followed Sunday and is quite probable
that the banks in this city will be
closed on both of the holidays and
possibly other places of business, at
least part of the time, that all may
be given the opportunity to observe
Labor Day, and the day following
cast their ballot at the primary cleo
ton, duty which every voter should
perform-and failing, should forever
hold his peace.

of carrying money? Grocers, butch

bankers clean bills laid full length in

the bills, doubling them as it were.
The young business man carries it
