STATE TAX LEVY.

We are in receipt of letter and
statement from JAS. A. Frear, secretary
of state, regarding facts in relation to
the state tax levy and Marathon
countys proportion of the same.
No state tax levy was made in 1906
for any purpose whatsoever excepting
for one-half of the common school tax
above mentioned which amounted to
$643, $3.50. This amount was charged
against the different counties and after
ward distributed among them together
with the additional amount of S643, $50,
not levied, the annual appropriation of
500, 900 required by law to be paid out
of the general fund for common schools
and the sum of S1s7, 115, interest on
school trust funds, making total of
81, 674, AIS distributed among the
counties. In other words, in 1907 in
addition to paying all expenses of state
government, the state paid back to the
different counties 81 ,05O,795 more than
it received from them in taxes for the
year 1906.
This was possible owing to the large
treasury balance ar,sing from unex-
pected receipts from the national gov
eminent, increased railway and corpor-
alton taxes, together with amounts re-
covered by the state in suits fsr railway
back taxes all of which swelled the
general fund to an unprecedented
amount. Of this state tax levy, Mara
thon county paid the sum of $40, 1880
to the state toward the support of the
common schools and received back
from the state the sum OF $44, 345.48 for
the same purpose il addition to the
other payments and benefits mentioned
for educational purposes
When the commissioners met in 1907
they deemed il inadvisable to remit
taxes for educational purposes, be-
cause of heavy drafts upon the treasury
the previous year. A tax was there
fore levied for schools, amounting TO
81, $50, 637.
Under the 1907 tax levy Marathon
county pays to the state for its share of
the state tax $44, S5040 Of this amount
$2S, 2S7.75 paid by the county, is for
common schools.
1t receives back from the state from
the school fund $40, 1922 while the re-
mainder of the tax is directly or in
directly distributed to the several
counties from the stats treasury for
educational purposes mentioned.

CORONER INVESTIGATED CASE.

Lizette, wife of Thos. Pierce, resid-
ing at III Hemlock street, died Satur-
day, aged nearly forty-two. 1t appears
there was no physician attending her
for several days previous to her death
and the circumstances were such that
the county coroner, DR.. w. G. Dickens,
investigated the case, but decided that
an inquest was unnecessary. About a
week previous to her death she gave
birth to a child and had medical at
tendance for several days. Following
the time the physician was ordered to
cease coming, it appears that about the
only attendance she had was from her
five children, the oldest of whom is a
girl of immature years. The burial
permit shows that she died from septic
poisoning and lack of care. The funer-
al was held this aftern Don, Rev. +. II.
Brigham officiating.

been arranged for all to speak upon
Law enforcement at that time. The

The coming of John Whitman, the
superintendent of the House of Correc-
ton at Chicago, to .Wausau. to speak
before the mems meeting of the \. M /.
c. A., on Sunday, February 9th, is an
event of more than ordinary interest
The opportunity of hearing man who
has come to be one of the greatest
criminologists of the day, and whose
opinions are accepted as authoritive
on matters pertaining to the criminal
classes, should be so appreciated by the
men OF this city, that the splendid
gymnasium of the new building should
be crowded with representative body
of our citizens to listen to Mr.. Whitman.
For nearly seventeen years he was the
jailer of the Cook county Jail in Chi
cago, and there was nothing perfunctory
in the manner in which he discharged
his duties. At the outset of his career
he proved himself to be student, and
an analyst of the causes and conditions
which led to the commission of crime
His conclusions appeal with great force
to all homes of America, while his call
to the fathers and mothers, whose
firesides have never been contaminated
with the spirit or essence of crime, to
become participants in that kind of
education that will reduce the popula-
ton of our jails. rings with such SINGER
ity of logic and truth that the spirit of
the man becomes fictitious, and his in
fluence remains long after he has de-
parted
The high school orchestra will play
for half an hour preceding the address,
and the male quartette, of which Mr. j
A. Duncan is the leader, will sing. The
service will be held in the gymnasium,
and ample accommodations will be
made for all who will attend. Let the
public respond to this invitation for
it will be well entertained as well as
profted.

INDIAN VILLAGE.

A rather unique exhibition is being
arranged in the old Y. M. G. A. build
ing. The gymnasium will be fitted up
as an Indian village with tepees and
wigwams and band of Winnebagoes
will give a correct representation of
Indian life of 80 years ago. Chief Stand
ing Water, one of the oldest and wisest
medicine men, will lead in the dances
and religious ceremonies. There is no
one among the various tribes who is so
well informed regarding the Winnie
bago dances, songs and legends. His
whole time is spent in teaching these
things to the Indians. There will be
about twenty braves, squaws and
papooses, the last ranging in age from
eight weeks to seven years. Tney all
take part in the dances, even the small
est papooses, dancing to the sound of
the drum and tom-toms. When pot
dancing or making baskets and the
beadwork, the men will play mecca
sin" and the squaws will play Koun
suit Ia" The Indians are all inveterate
gamblers and these are their national
gambling games. The exhibit will also
include a fine collection of Indian
curios. including some very rare
things. There never was time when
so much interest was displayed in the
Indian and his handiwork. People are
beginning to realize that the real
Indian will soon be thing of the past
There are at present about two thousand
Winnebago indians, but those who are
in position TO Judge, say that in ten
years there win not be over one half
that number.

CHINESE MILITIA MAY
De ORGANIZED SOON

Great interest is being shown by the
young Chinese of Honolulu in the pro-
posed organization Of a militia COM
pany, to be made up and differed by
their own nationality.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith has not
yet had time to enter into the subject
fully, but he expresses his warm APP
prevail and Col. Sam Johnson also gives
his endorsement to the undertaking.
1t is understood that the Adjutant
General, J. Walter Jones. is holding his
opinion in reserve.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith viii
confer with the Adtutant General this
morning. when it is thought an agree
meut will be reached.
There are many fine, ablebodied
young men in Honolulu who would
make admirable soldiers and who will
learn rapidly If they have a chance of
such instruction as can be given them.
They are most of them American cit
liens. a fact which is entitled TO con-
sIderation.
IF the conference between the Acting
Governor and the Adjutant General
concludes favorabIy, the work of en-
lIstment and organization win begin at
once.

among these composers was. very
naturally. Grieg. But associated with
him were, Kjerulf, Sinding, Olo Bull,
Sjorgren and Gade.
The program opened with a paper,
biogra phical, critical, and appreciative,
of Edward Grieg, written by Miss Hop
per before she left for the Coast, and
read charmingly by Mrs. l.. l.. Nc
Candless.
The first musical number were two
selections from Grieg, Morning Mood
and "Anitra's Dance" by Mrs Consta-

was admirably descriptive of the early
morn when each several sound is clear,
distinct and musical. before they have
lost their individuality in the confused
unmusical sounds of the day. The
"Anitra's Dance" Is viyacious thing
with much sparkle and spirit. They
were very pleasingly rendered by Mrs.
Constabel.
Mr.. Arthur Wall sang Kjeruifs Last
Night" and Longing. The latter
was most beautiful thing and Mr..
Wall was heartily applauded.
A Grieg Concerto, the adagio ana

two pianos by Miss Werthmueller ana
Mrs. d Howard Hitchcock. This 49,

of enthusiastic applause burst from the
audience at it's close, applause which
did not cease until Miss Werthmueller

lightfully rendered as violin selections
by Mrs Ross and Miss Damon, with
Miss Ada Rhodes as accompanied. The
Lullaby is none too dreamy or gem

CHINESE ARE URGING
OPIUM PROHIBITION

Another cablegram was sent yester-
day by the authority of the chairman,
Mr.. zee Chin, of the Chinese mass
meeting, to Representative Foster of
Vermont. 1t urged the passing of the
Foraker opium bill, prohibiting the IN
PRODUCTION of opium into Hawaii.
The following resolution. adopted by
the Chinese of Honolulu, has been sent
to the individual members of both the
Senate and the House, and is now IN
the hands of every member of Con
gress:
Resolved, That we believe the ag-
ricultural and commercial interests OF
Hawaii would be advanced by admit
ting the Chinese under wise restrictions
as to numbers, and also with restrle-
tions as to the use of opium. -
Even some of the opium smokers OF
Hawaii would like to have the drug
prohibited so that they may be freed
from temptation and break off the
habit.
