Fire INSURANCE MutuaIs.

The supreme court of Wisconsin, in
Gilman vs. Druse held that the fire mu-
tual may levy an assessment on each
member thereof, to cover any deficit,
and further that new members are also
liable under such assessment for old
debts.
No member can avoid his liability for
accrued losses by cancelling his policy
A retired member is liable for unsd-
lusted losses as well as adjusted losses
during the life Of his policy.
Membership of mutual is not ended
by the burning Of the members own pro-

TO THE REPUBLICANS
OF WISCONSIN

Believing that under the new system
of nominating candidates for public
Office, the voters should have fullest
opportunity of becoming familiar with
the qualifications of the candidates, and
that an early announcement will con-
tribute TO this end, hereby announce
that l shall be a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for state treasurer
at the primary election TO be held in
September, 1906 and solicit the sup
port of my republican friends.
shall during the campaign for the
nomination and for the election in Nov
ember, whether / be the nominee Of
the party or not, use all honorable eff
forts to promote the principles of the
republican state platform of 1904 The
efforts made during recent years in
favor Of higher STANFORD in the pub
lie service of the state. Ia more equitable
system of taxation and square deal
on the part of public service corpora
tions, should not be relaxed.
The Office of state treasurer is one Of
great responsibility and the trust
should be administered in the public
interest. IF elected, I pledge my best
efforts to further advance the princi-
pies Of my party towards more Just
and equal government, recognizing that
an official owes to the public something
more than a mere perfunctory perfor-
nance Of the duties OF his Office.

A HEALrHY STORY OF WISCONSIN.
Substantial Growth and Increase All
Along the Line.

Walter L. Houser, secretary OF state,
in recent issue Of the Milwaukee Free
Press. had the following to say of Wis
consin. These facts from source of
such authority in the state are very
deeply interesting. Although the work
of compiling a census Of the state Tor
1905 is not complete, some interesting
facts are disclosed.
A few counties have lost in population
during the last FIVE years. Adams ~,

Dodge S5S. Green 329, Iowa l43, La
Crosse 147, Lafayette 662, Pepin 336,

Except Milwaukee county, Douglas
makes the greatest gain, !, l64. Mara
thon follows with 6,903, then comes
Dane with 6,022. AS could be expected
the northern counties have made the
greatest proportionate gains in popnla
ton: Ashland. Barron, Po.s. Oconto'
price. She wano and Wood showing very
substantial gains.
These northern counties show won.
derful development il agriculture also.
The increased production Of the grains,
growing Of live stock and the dairy pro-
duction indicates that IL the present rate
of increase continues, northern Wiscon-
sin will within the nex5 decade, become
one of the great dairy sections Of the
country. That part Of the state Is
peculiarly adapted 10 this industry.
Pure water and grasses that are the
dairyman's delight, are abundant. The
climate seems Just right for the best
result. The past ten years Is but the
sunrise Of bright day for the region
from which the virgin crop has been
harvested, tne profits Of which are found
in the bank accounts Of many multi
millionaires.
The returns indicate a substantial
growth and increase in all lines Of in
dustry and production in this state since
the last census.
The returns show that this state has
been siGgularly prosperous IN the last
decade And If you win allow pre-
diction this II but the beginning Of an
era Of prosperity in Wisconsin such a.
history has not before recorded. Re.
sources are so varied and abundant, and
opportunities for population so favorable
