PROBLEM FOR MARSHFiELD.
Fate of Municipal Ownership Hangs in
the Balance.

LfC 6dldtlNSs
What will be done with the water
works plant?' is question that is
uppermOst in the minds Of MarShtleld
people just now. One year ago the
city council purchased the Marshtield
Water, Electric Light and Power COM
pany's plant for $150,0O0 Shortly af-
terWard w. D. Common and others
brought action against the city to
have the sale declared void on the
grounds that the proposition to pur-
chase the plant should have gone to a
vote of the people: that the city in the
purchase. bonded itself for more than
5 per cent of it's assessed valuation
and that the purchase price was great
ly in excess of what the plant was
worth. The lower courts decided the
case in favor of the plaintiffs and IN
order to get a legal purchase OF the
plant the city attorney was authorized
to appeal the case to the supreme
court. In case the supreme court sus'
tains the decision of the lower court,
in which event the plant will go back
to the bondholders, it is probable that
the champions OF municipal ownership
will again seek to purchase the plant
by holding a special election. rms
will call for a merry war between OPP
posing factions.

dicitis When the surgeon operated
on me, however, it was found that my
trouble was ulcer of the pancreas in
stead of appendicitis.
"Since that time / have had several
such attacks, suffering death. almost.
The last attack was about 3 months
ago, and endured untold agonies.
''The doctor then said that l would
have to eat less starchy stuff, so |

BURN BALLOTS AT SUPERIOR.
May Result in Office for Defeated Can
didate.

The official canvass of the election
returns at Superior show majority OF
100 for Victor Linley, the Republican
candidate. but in counting the votes
the board of canvassers found that III
two of the precincts where Linley re-
ceived the heaviest majorities, the
ballots were burned after being count
ed. The municipal ownership forces
are seriously considering q contest OF
the election and cite a case in M1chl-
gan where a like circumstance came
up and upon contest the supreme court
threw out the precincts in which the
ballots had been burned. Ii this
should be done in the present case the
result would be a good sized majority
for C. N. O'Hare, the present mayor
and the defeated candidate on the
municipal ownership ticket.

MUST REBUILD LARGE BRIDGE
Northwestern Road Suffers Loss at
Green Bay.

Green BAY.
The building of the railroad 0rldge
across Fox river at Green Bay, which
has already cost the Northwestern
Railroad company in the neighborhood
of s35O,OOO, is virtually to be done over
again at tremendous additional ex-
penditure of money. Three engineers
are now out of the service OF the
North Western company and all the
indications point with certainty that
is convincing to the conclusion that
their retirements were the direct re-
suit of the bridge muddle. There IS
no longer any attempt made to con-
ceal the fact that the bridge failure is
explained by gross blunder or repeat
ed laundering. In the rebuilding II
will be necessary to replace nine OF
the big concrete piers, which nave
been found unsafe. One of these nine
piers fell over and two others are so
far out of plumb that new ones VIII
have to be constructed. Thousands OF
feet of piling will have to be driven 10
bolster I'D the concrete piers.

an increase of sci 900.
Thomas M Purtell, deputy insurance
commissioner, gave the press the fol-
lowing statement regarding the state
insurance department:
The total receipts of the depart
ment Of insurance during the three
months ending April ! amounted to
$603,92666 This is over $31 900 more
than the total receipts during 1905,
which amounted to $572, 1885. 1t
would appear, therefore, that all class
es Of insurance companies transactlng
business in this state last year were
successful, as the larger part of the
license fees and taxes.
THE several stock fire and marine
insurance companies transacting bust
ness in Wisconsin have an aggregate
capital of $63, 55935480. The total
amount which all companies have at
risk is $29, 1888, 511,316. The aggregate
assets amount to $413,088, 1882, with
total liabilities of $207, $40, 647.27, leav-
ing a surplus of Sal, 497 ,369.03.
The business transacted in WiscOn-
sin by all fire companies shows gross
risks written, $520,374, 792.43; gross
premiums received, $8,067, 1853;
amount paid for cancellation, $685.
6050S; amount paid for reinsurance,
$492, 1851; actual losses paid in Wis
