Madison.-Wisconsi may sue the
railroads of the state for back taxes
on rebates, under the ad valorem act,
now that the supreme court has de-
cided the law constitutional. Accord
ing to Attorney General Sturdevant
the taxes on rebates during the last
six years foots up to $1,50O.00O. But
the state may institute suits covering
a larger period. In such event several
millions may be recovered to the state
treasury. Following the decision OF
the supreme court sustaining the al
valorem law--though the imposition
OF $4,000 fines on each OF four roads
was reversed--it is expected by the
state officials that there will be rush
by railroad companies to pay their
back taxes. Should the companies do
this about a dozen suits against them
will be dismissed. For number of
years the railroads deducted their re-
bates from their gross earnings, and
paid license tax only on the remainder.
The state Is suing for taxes on the
amount deducted. Under the supreme
courts decision the Chicago x North
western must pay $4,000 as penalty
for refusing to pay taxes on SlS9,OOO
of its earnings. which. the state con-
tended. was due under the ad valorem
tax. The supreme courts decision also
sustained an act passed by the legisla-
ture in May, 1905, imposing an Inter
est rate Of Is per cent. on taxes with
held by railroads.

Said Cattle Were Infected,

Janesville.-Warned by a spy in
Marinette that so head of cattle be-
longing to he famous Holstein Erie
son herd belonging to w. Spencer
Carpenter, the multi-millionaire, Of
Menominee. Mich, had been shipped
to William Everson, farmer, near
Lake Mills, without the proper state
inspection, and that rs per cent. Of
them were suffering from tuberculosis,
State Veterinarian Roberts went to
Lake Mills to make thorough eX-
animation OF the herd and take steps
to prosecute the parties guilty of ship
ment contrary to law W. Spencer
Carpenter until recently had one Of
the largest herds of Holstein- Ericsson
cattle In Wisconsin or Michigan, and
1t Is not known whether the cattle in
question were sold to Everson or
merely sent to him for keep. That
the state laws regarding the importa-
ton of cattle were evaded and that
the cattle have tuberculosis was the
report made to the state veterinarian.

THE BACKYARD PROBLEM.
Unsightly Clothes Posts May Be
Made Things Of Beauty-A Clump
of Lilacs for a Screen.

One usually thinks Of clothes posts
as necessary evils and accepts their
ugliness as unbelievable. 1t will sur
prise many to learn that they may be
made beautiful and retain their useful
ness. have seen a set Of clothes posts
in a back yard entirely covered with
living green-a luxurnant growth OK
Virginia creeper. On side OF each one
was a staple securely anchored in the
post and a large ring hung from the
staple Through the ring the line was
passed on washday. The rest OF tho
week the posts were strictly orna-
mental.
The best permanent screen for I'M
slightly objects Is a group OF ever
green's. A clump of lilacs costs less
and begins to be effective sooner. Hide
the garbage can in a mass Of shrub
berry.
Some back yards are too small for
outbuildings Of any kind. In larger
ones some sort of arbor-call 1t per-
COLA II you like-is delightful 1t makes
dry place for children to play when
the grass is dewy. 1t is just the thing
for afternoon tea or sewing and is less
public than the front porch and far
more comfortable than the hot kitchen
when Smelling peas or stemming straw
berries. An arbor covered with vines
at the kitchen door will be greatly ap-
preciated by the help" especially on
summer evenings.
Now for the garden propa. In most
cases l should plant all around the
border and have the center in grass.
In yard only rs by so tsawer border
three or four feet wide Is probably
best. In larger yard a border with
gracefully undulating front outline will
be suitable and more pleasing. Groups
Of shrubs may be placed In or near the
corners to break the monotony of the
straight line.-Wilhelm Miller

Studying State Roads.


The state geological survey Is sys-
tematically studying the condition OF
the roads of the state, together with
the methods used in building them and
keeping them in repair. 1t is taking up
this Investigation for the purpose OF
spreading as widely as possible the
knowledge Of how to build roads prop
erly and how to care for them In the
most economical and intelligent man
ner Particular attention Is being paid
TO the common dirt roads, as 1t is evil
dent tnat most roads must be made OF
the dit found along the roadway for
many years to come, and therefore In
formation as to the cheapest and best
means of making such roads will be OF
greatest value Letters enclosing a list
OF questions concerning the roads In
his township will be sent to each town
clerk In a few days. 1t Is important
that complete set of data such as
these questions ask for should be in
the hands OF the geological survey as
soon as possible Any person interest
ed can then find where the best meth
DDS OF road work in any county are be-
ing used. and any advice the survey
may be asked for will be based on a
complete knowledge OF conditions
which would be difficult TO obtain in
any other manner

at Lewiston, between Portage and Kill
bourn. were beard by the railroad rate

matters and other matters recently
heard including the petitions for two
cent passenger rates Will, Ii Is expect
ed, practically finish the work Of the

To Keen Furs.

Hang the furs in a dry room and
two or three times during the summer
hang them out Of doors Some say to
hang them in the shade, but like the
hot sunshine which will keep them
free from moths and dampness If
hung where they can gathet dampness
they sometimes smell and the fur will
come out and tear easily. The drier
they are kept the better. l do not like
keeping them in trunk or box
Stuffed birds and animals ought also
to be kept in dry room and not
where they can gather dampness or
they. too, will smell and the fea theirs

MAY DELAY OLE HEARING.
Supreme Court of New York Gave
II. II. Rogers Two Days to Answer
Order-Has Right OF Appeal.

New York, Jan. 11.-Notwithstand-
ing the earnest appeal of W. r. Rowe,
who appeared as special counsel for
H. H. Rogers Wednesday morning for
protection against the irresponsible
commissioner Of foreign state, Judge
Gildersleeve in the New York supreme
court ordered Mr.. Rogers to shsw
cause at 1880 o'clock Friday morn
ing why he should not be compelled
to testify. Mr.. Rowe pleaded for at
least two weeks time. longer II he
could get 1t, but the court did not seem
entirely to accept his view that the
Missourians were trying to mistreat a
good citizen of New York.
It has developed that either side
may appeal to the New York court Of
appeals, no matter which way the su-
preme court decides, so that there Is
every probability that Hadley will
have to return to New York later, no
matter whether the supreme court de-
cides Rogers must or need not answer
the questions.
