An organized effort is being made
in London by large consumers to
break the present price of copper,
but so far without success. The
condition of the market is sound and
the demand steady, and as most of
the present heavy producers are I'M
der contract for their output for
months in advance, it is a reasonably
sure thing that present prices will
rule for many months to come.

On Sunday last quite number of
people from Clifton, Morenci and
Metcalf visited the property of the

west of Morenci. They were turned
loose in the mines, and all dug
out ore which they pounded up and
then PANIED down, showing plenty of
free gold. Secretary J. o. Baylor
was on the ground and he afforded
them every facility to make a
thorough test of the property, and
they all came away more than we'll
pleased with results.

The Greene Consolidated stock was
last week stricken from the stock
exchange of Boston, caused by the
manner in which the new treasury
stock was put on the market. 1t was
claimed that officers of the company
who knew that treasury stock would
be issued, unloaded their holdings at
a price above that asked for the
treasury stock, S25 per share, and
then took advantage of the new
issue, cleaning up a few dollars per
share on the deal.

HALF MILL TAX
ALSO RENTED
Counties Will Get Back For
Schools Twice as Much as
They Raise For Mill Fund,

Ohly one quarter of the amount OF
taxes the law allows to be collected
from The people will be taken as the
result OF action by the state
board of assessment which met at
Madison. The sum of sl.Sl8,555 was
RENTED by the board, consisting of
Gov. Davidson, Secretary of State
HouSer and Treasurer Kempf. OF the
sum remitted Sl.l74. 655 is the regular
TAX Tor state purposes, and S643, $50 is
one-half of the So-called mill tax for
the AID and support of the school
system.
Inc school tax is not genuinely a
state tax, for it is apportioned and re-
turned TO the counties, so that the
counties get back from the state on
account of the action of the board of
assessment today twice as much as
they raise for the mill tax fund for
schools. This is the farthest that the
remi6tlng of taxes has ever gone in
the history of the state of Wisconsin,
Inc situation, then, as left by
the board of assessment is that
whereas there is provided by the
statutes tax levy of very nearly
s2,5OO,00O, the board has paid about
of this out of the
general fund and has levied only about
one-quarter of the amount. S643, $50.

HERE FROM PANAMA

Gust. Frank, sanitary Inspector for
Uncle Sam in Panama, arrived in this
city Thursday for a visit among old
time friends. Mr.. Frank left here about
II years ago for the western states,
but finally wandered to the Cuban
and Porto Rico Islands where he
spent the most Of ten years. Since
that he has spent considerable time at
BluetieldS, Nicaragua, trail
America. Since the government de-
cided to build the canal, he accepted
the position he now holds. He stated
that the sanitary conditions there are
looked after by the government as
thoroughly as in any city in the United
StateS and perhaps more so because
of the severity of the climate. While
he was enjoying good health him.
self, he would not recommend Panama
to persons reasonably we'll situated in
this country, unless the lnducement
in the way of salary was sufficiently
large to make it an unusual object.
Mr., Frank is delighted to see the
great and favorable change in Grand
Rapids during his absence. He is en-
jOying his visit among his old time
friends.

PRAISE FROM HIS
OLD HOME FRIENDS

G. r. Goidsworthy, a former well
known resident of Racine county, is
candidate for the office of assembly,
man in Wood county. Mr.. Colds
worthy was born in the town of York
vile and received his early training
and education here. Until 30 years of
age he was farmer. His father was
Richard Goldsworthy, one of the very
earliest pioneers of the county. The
record of G.. r. Goldsworthy in his
native county was upright and honor
able and there was not a single spot
to unblemish it.
Since going to Wood county he has
been engaged n the real estate buSi-
ness. Surely the people of Wood
county could not elect a more COM
petent and trustworthy gentleman,
His hundreds of friends in Racine
county will join in hoping he will be
elected with hands down,-Racine

SIX HUNDRED
HEAR Mr.. FREAR
The Grand Opera House Was
Taxed to its Full Capacity to
Accommodate the Large Crowd.

The Republican rally at the Crane
opera house Monday evening was al
that was expected it would be, and ever
more, Long before the arrival of the
speaker and the city band, the house
was well filled, and from 7:15 O'Clock
| until the announcement of Mr.. Frear
the six lady uSherS, two floor mana
gers, and two door attendants were
kept constantly going. When eight
o'cl Ock came there was scarcely a seat
in the gallery and none at all on the
lower floor. By actual count there
were over six hundred people in the
hall, and goodly number were
ladies'
Atty. Louis A. Bauman, secretary of
the republican county committee
called the meeting to order and an
nounced a solo by Miss Ruby Natwick.
She was accompanied by Clarence
Jackson with the violin, and Miss
Belle Harding, on the piano. Miss
Natwick sang second solo with the
same accompanies at the close of the
meeting. and the praise of her work,
as well as that of her accompanies,
could be heard on every hand as the
large audience filed out of the hall.
Atty. Bauman introduced Mr..
Frear in a few we'll chosen remarks.
He told of how Mr.. Frear had been in
the fore part of the battle in the legis-
lature during the past ten years
when the people were waging war for
their rights: and how Mr.. Frear
was always on their side, and could
always be relied upon to be on their
side.
1t would be useless TO try and give
tie reader any extracts from Mr..
Frear's speech, for every line of every
sentence teamed with the knowledge
of the questions with which he has
had to cope for number of years, and
the solution of which he is best fitted
to aid, He spoke in an enthusiastic.
conversational manner, and while he
did not allow himself to soar into any
oratorial flights, he impressed his
audience with the truth of his state
ments aud held them to the very last.
