BOOM IN STATE OVER
TAX COMMISSION SAYS REAL ES
TATE PRICES WILL STAND.
Increase from 5 to z Per Cent Annually
in Valuation During Last Few
Years Will Not Be Kept Up.

MADISON, Wis. April CT Special.
The tax commission has prepared its
report and advance sheets will be sub
mitted to the Legislature, perhaps Mon
day evening. The Legislature recently
passed a resolution calling for such a
report 1t will be the first report that
the commission has gotten out since
1903. 1t does not contain any startling
recommendations such as those relative
to railroad and Inheritance taxation,
which were embodied in previous re-
ports, but contains reports relative to de-
tails and methods of taxation.
The commission says that from their
general information and belief the valua-
ton Of the state is increased from 5 to
per cent. a year for the last few years.
LEGAL assessments do not show this in
crease, but an increase of from 1 to z
per cent. annually.
They are OF the opinion that prices
and values will not show such a marked
increase hereafter as they did some
years ago, that real estate, for instance.
in Older communities, will not advance
in valuation much except as improve
ments are added, but in the northern
and newer sections there will be an III
crease, owing 60 the value being on
lower basis.

DILLON HELD As SLAYER
MAN WHO SHOT JACOB C.. BEST rs
BOUND OVER.
State Has Three Witnesses Who Saw
Shooting in Racine SalOor-Pris-
oner Shows Nervousness.

RACINE, Wis, April 5.-Court Com
missioner John L. Wentworth heard the
preliminary examination of William j.
Dillon, charged with the murder of
Jacob G. Best of Milwaukee.
Kearney, Thompson & Myers and At
torney NJ. e. Walker of Simmons, Mel
son q Walker appeared for Dillon, and
the state end of the case was taken care
of by District Attorney Fulton Thomp-
son. The prisoner, Dillon, sat behind
his attorneys and appeared unusually
nervous and when Paul Sores was teSti-
flying Dillon accidentally fell backward
with his chair, the incident creating quite
an excitement until Dillon resumed his
seat.
The star witness in the case was Hans
Gibson, the porter, who fled from the
city and was captured at Madison.
Gibson testified that he heard Best
call Dillon a vile name; that Dillon went
back Of the bar, secured q gun, came
back, aimed it at the head of Best and
threatened to kill him if he did not take
back the vile name; that Best started out
of the door; again applied the bad name;
that Dillon kicked him; that Best turned
and kicked Dillon and at the same time
Dillon bent back and grunted and then
he raised his right hand and shot Best.
Paul Sores, 10 years DID, admitted that
he told three different stories about the
shooting. He claimed that he was about
to enter the saloon when he saw the
gun in Dillon's right hand. Both of Dill
Ions hands were down when he first saw
him and before the shot was fired Dillon
raised up his right hand.
Robert Hoffman, a laundrwman, testi-
fed that he was passing Dillon's sa-
loon when the shooting took place. Oil
lon was standing inside of the saloon,
about five feet from the door," he said.
81 saw a shot fired. / think it was shot
by Dillon, at least | thought it was he.
Dillon was standing erect, having the
gun in his right hand, which was raised
on a line about even with his hips"
DR.. Robert Kitto testified as to having
been called and attended the injured
man. In answer to questions, he said
that the two small perforatiOns found at
the autopsy were not bullet wounds, and
undoubtedly caused by sOftening Of the
tissues by reason of gangrene or ulcer
alton.
Court Commissioner Wentworth said
that there was reasonable proof to show
that Dillon killed Best and held him to
the next term of circuit court for trial
on the charge of murder. The court CON

CAPE HUNTING DOGS.
Large AntelOpes Easily Run Down by
Pack of These Animals.

A specimen of the Cape hunting dog,
Lycaon pictus, has lately been added to
the uenagerie in the London Geological
gardens 1t is an animal which does not
take kindly to captivity and the indi-
viduals that from time to time have
reached the collection have ever been
short lived.
This specie bears a strong resemblance
to a hyena. says the Rhodesia Her
aid, not only IN its markings, but in the
general appearance. 1t is tall dog,
fairly slim in build and with long limbs.
The broad and rather fat head ends IN
a short muzzle; the ears are very large.
The ground color of the coat, which is
rather scantily haired is yellowish; the
markings, which are disposed about the
body and limbs in a very irregular man
ner, are short streaks and blOtches Of
black, white and gray. The tail is of
fair length, somewhat thickly haired,
and ends in q whitish tuft. The muzzle
is black and q black stripe runs down
between the eyes.
The Cape hunting dog has a wide
range IN Africa south and east of the
Sahara desert 1t is wonderfully swift
footed and hunts its prey in regular
packs. Large antelopes are easily run
down by these packs and domestic sheep
and cattle need strong protection against
the depredations of the ''hyena dog"
