sented greater variety and on the
whole were more satisfactory than
the programs of previous fairs. The
Norrins high divers gave the public
real thrillers twice each day, the
fire dive being particularly fine
spectacle. Madame Lacarrol did
some wonderful trapeze acts at the
postoffice corner, though on one or
two occasions she was criticised for
keepingher audience waiting, in one
instance disappointing them by de-
Ginning to perform at all. Douglas
& Douglas, Joe Garze, the moving
pictures. Mrs. Burnett and her
ponies combined to make very en-
PERTAINING show on Mill street. Sew
eral of these attractions had been
considered good enough for a place
on the last state fair amusement
program. While the cost was con-
siderable, everyone here seems to
think that Billy Owens made good
bargain in engaging them.
Thursday was the biggest day in
the matter of attendance, the streets
that day being crowded to the
point of discomfort. Almost every
body took things good naturally,
however, and patiently jostled their
way through the throng or took
short cuts through the alleys if in a
hurry. The business done by the
restaurants and dispensers of bever-
ages and ice cream on that day GER
tainly must have broken all records
here. Lauterbach Bros. had hoped
to get through the day with nearly
hundred gallons of ice cream, but
long before evening saw that the
finish was inevitable before night
fall. An attempt to get supplies of
cream from neighbor towns was in
effectual until the next day, and
Thursday evening no ice cream was
to be had in this town.
The military drill last Friday even
ing was another feature that was
well received by all who witnessed
| it. Considering the crowded streets
which interferred considerably with
some of the evolutions of Company
l., that organization acquitted itself
well. Our home band furnished
the music, and under the baton of
John zimmerman of the Second Regi-
ment band of New Ulm, was put
through few military stunts in
marching. Mr.. zimmerman has had
considerable experience and will
prove fquite an acquisition to the
Redwood band on dress parade oc-
casions.
| Not the least important in point
Of entertainment were the street
sports on Friday afternoon. Begin
ming with a tug of war contest for
a dozen baskets of grapes, between
two farmer teams of twelve men
each, there were a series of foot rae
| es, funny and otherwise. Presiden
Durham getting into the heavy
weight class and only losing by mis-
taking the goal line and stopping too
: soon. The ladies not responding a.
; volunteers in the women's foot race
; Brainerd Finn and John Lauterhacl
. procured skirts and made RECORD
time as near-women. We believe
that there is suggestion of much
better exhibition in street sport
next year, with carefully prepared
| program extending for two days.
AS usual, the merry-go-round wa

Insurance Commissioner Shows
Great Business That IS Be-.
ing Done in Wisconsin
5l3, 1926 POLICIES IN FORCE
Amount Of Insurance Reaches the High
Total of S51S, 1854, 936-C Commission
er Tells Of the Expense of
Handling Great Business

The preliminary report of George E.
Beedle, Commissioner of Insurance, to
the Governor, upon the various life in
surance companies operating in Wiscon-
sin, has just been issued, and is one of
the most remarkable state papers ever
issued from this source. The report
contains not only the usual address to
the Governor and the various and usu-
al tables Of statistics upon ordinary
Industrial and assessment and frater-
nal business, but in addition an extend
discussion of the business of insur-
ance, the effect Of the laws passed by
he last session of the legislature, upon
the methods Of conducting this bust
ness, and an explanation of insurance
methods, made in such a way that
every man may plainly understand how
the amount Of money he pays. each year
for insurance is divided. How much
is used to guarantee him his reserve;
how much is used for death losses ;
and how much for expenses. The dis
cussion of the item Of expense is one
of the most valuable in the report, and
even in the light of exposures made by
the various state governments in their
recent Investigations will now be very
surprising to the average man.
Complete statistics Of the ordinary
business in life companies written and
in force in Wisconsin, are not available.
They may however, be very closely ap-
proximated, as is done in the following
table, by assuming the business in force
in the withdrawing companies not re-
porting to be the same. at the end of
1907 as at the end of 1906.

While the report of the Chicago
chemists employed by the board of
water commissioners to examine sam
pies of water taken from the city
mains may be said to be the most re-
assuring that we have yet had it would
hardly do for the commissioners to drop
the project to extend the intake or
build a new one on the strength of this
one favorable report AS a matter of
fact the report is not quite so favora-
BILE as one who reads it carelessly
might be led to believe. True the re-
port says that the "chemical analysis
indicates good water" and that in the
meteorological analysis we find few
colon group bacilli which would indicate
very slight degree Of contamina-
tion," but you will notice that the
chemists are very careful to qualify
their statement that the water is good
and only slightly contaminated by add
ing that" the Importance of these
(colon group bacilli) will depend more
upon their continuous presence than up
on their occurrence in a single exami-
nation.' In other words the chemists
are not prepared to state that the water
is good without reservations until they
know whether or not these colon group
bacilli are present at all times and this
stand of the chemists leads to the in
ference that the continued presence of
these bacilli might be very dangerous.
They are not willing to pass judgment
on one analysis and surely this matter
is of too great Importance to the health
of the whole community to be settled
by single test. Ii the board is going
to base its decision in regard to the in
take on these analyses it should arrange
for a series Of tests extending over a
considerable period Of time. A single
test proves that the water was good one
day and the man who picked out the
day to take the water from the mains
may have been interested in securing a
good report, but if the board had re-
ports of the condition of the water
every day for thirty days it might have
some information that would be safe
to act on. Because Of the condition
of the finances Of the city the board
might be justified on taking chances
on having the water supply shut of
some time in the winter by the block
ing of the intake, but nothing could
justify taking any chances of compel
ling the people to use contaminated
water for another year or two. It is Of
more Importance TO guard the public
health than it is for the water company
to make a good showing. If the water
is not safe now it should be made safe
without any further delay no matter
what it costs.

One Of the best of the numerous i'm
provements that have been made in the
city lately is the paving of some of the
down town alleys. It is a comparative
ly easy matter to keep these paved al
legs clean and when all the alleys are
paved, as they must be soon, there will
be notable improvement in the SAM
tary condition of the business section
of the city. From the point Of view Of
the health department it is just as i'm.
portant to have the alleys in shape to

be settled monthly, will be good thing
for the consumer as we'll as the grocers
in more ways than one, provided of
course that all of the grocers live up
to their agreement and enforce the rule
strictly against all alike. The grocers
will undoubtedly be able to shade prices
considerably after they get their bust
ness on a cash basis for with a settle
ment every thirty days the amount of
bad debts that the paying customers
have to make up to the grocers will be
cut down tremendously The grocers
adopted the rule as a measure of self
protection, but they are more than will
ing that their customers should also
benefit by it.

The attention Of the Supervisors
of Assessments has doubtless been call
ed to the fact that the prices at which
various tracts of land surrounding the
city are held by their owners do not
jibe very we'll with the amounts assess
ed against these same tracts on the
books of the tax assessors. DOUBTLESS
the Supervisor Of Assessments will find
some things in the city that need look
ing after, but there are also few
discrepancies in the tax rolls Of the
towns in the county that require his at
tention fully as much as anything in
the city.

It appears that the police department
takes very little interest in the police
pension fund for the officers are not
making any effort to swell the fund by
collecting the dog licenses. The mem
bers of the force cannot expect the

in adding to the fund when they them
