H. P. Dinius's vineyard, says the
News. He has several large, healthy
looking vines, which he leaves to run
on the ground, not training them at
all, and by lifting the vines one may
see the large clusters of fine looking
fruit growing in the same manner as
melons or cucumbers. The vines are
only two years old, are bearing well
and look strong and hearty.

Racine.-Incensed at the manner
in which some Of his pet schemes and
many star chamber secrets of the
council have become public property
almost before they were conceived,
Mayor "A. j. Horlick proposes to hold
council committee meetings hereafter
in a place where newspaper reporters
will be unable to hear what is going
on, and to that end has ordered the
board of education to vacate it's
quarters in the city hall, which is in
reality large fireproof vault, original

The strange situation of the resi-
dents of town in Bayfield, county ask
ing the supreme court to compel the
tax commission to enforce and ad-
minister law, which the attorney
general has held void, now presents it.
self to the court. Some weeks ago the
tax commission called upon the at
torney general for an opinion on chap
ter 259, laws of 1905, which permits
the tax commission to appoint an as
SCISSOR and board of review, to re-value
property, when the same was not
made in compliance with law. In an
opinion a few days ago, Mr.. Gilbert
found the law to be in cOntraventlon
with section 8, article 13 of the con-
stitution, which permits the locality
to appoint or elect it's own local Of
ficials, when not otherwise designat-
ed in the constitution. The town of
Iron River recently called upon the
tax commission to re-value the prop
erty of that district. The commission
refused under the opinion of the at
torney general. Judge Luse then made
a motion in the supreme court asking
for a writ of mandamus to compel the
tax commission to act. The whole mat
ter now rests with the court and de-
cision will be handed down, probably,
Sept. "a. In the meantime all other
applications made to the commission
for re-valuation will rest in allegiance
until the court decides whether it will
assume jurisdiction or not. The at
torney general failed to find any deci-
sions of other courts to warrant his
upholding the constitutionality of the
law.

Comet Is Not DANGEROUS.

Prof. A. S. Flint, astronomer at
Washburn observatory at the state
university, says that timid people need
have no fear that the 1907 D" comet,
which is attracting attention among
star gazers now, may strike the earth
and annihilate them. The comet,
said Prof. Flint, is called 1907 D" be-
cause it was discovered by Prof. DAN
iels this year. 1t is visible in the
constellation Orion about four o'clock
in the morning, and may be distin-
guished by it's brightness and it's tail,
which is several degrees long.

Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-The state board of con-
troll finished auditing bills in favor of

asylum. Counties not operating asy-
lums are compelled to pay $3.50 a

dents maintained in asylums operated
by other counties. This with $3.50 a
week allowed by the state makes three
dollars week which counties operat-
ing asylums receive for maintaining
patients who are residents of counties
not having asylums. The amount
paid by the state to counties for their
own insane is $199, 2O3.SO, for insane
from other counties $S5,1S6.19, and for
the state-at-large insane $49,013.29, a

to them who are maintained in other
counties $101, 477.S9, a total of $434,-

The Wisconsin state fair at Milwau-

modern and commodious grandstand,
but it is not probable that this will
be attempted for a few years, although
it would be source of annual revenue
to the fair. President McKerrow con-
tinues to be of the opinion that there
should be no Monday fair, but that all
effort should be concentrated on four
days. Several members of the board
favor eliminating children's day next
year or making it the closing instead
of the opening day Of the fair.
