Means a Severinq of Ties.

The retirement of president fro
the White House is a pathetic h1lle-
stone in the lives, not only of the.
president and his family, but in the
lives of the household staff of the
mansion. Many of these officials,
caretakers and servants, have served
for years. The average term of a
president nowadays is eight years
and in this time friendships are
formed between the family of the
ecutive and the people gathered abe
them to serve them. President Roo
velt's young children have practice
spent their childhood in the VIII
House. The leave taking will
naturally, sorrowful for them, as "
as for the doorkeepers, messenge
and attendants who have been the
companions for seven years.

GRAFT CHARGES.
Mayor of Hudson, Wis, Insinuates
That Something Is Crooked.

Mayor of Hudson, Wis, Insnuates
That Something Is Crooked.
At the city council meeting at
Hudson the subject of alleged rakeoff
on the purchase of Empire water me-
tiers from Robinson & Cary of ST..
Paul was rehearsed by Alderman
Crary, president of the water board,
and Mayor Utman. Some months ago
Mayor Utman states that he appeared
at Robinson and Cary's in st. Paul,
introducing himself as party from
Cumberland, who would figure on 200
Empire water meters.
The mayor says that one of Robin
son and Cary's men told him that
there would be an even 500 for him;
that the city must buy them at the
regular rate, however, and he to re-
ceive his commission for the deal
later. Last night a letter was pre-
scented to the council by Alderman
ing that they had ever made such an
offer to Mr.. Utman, whose real iden-
tity they later learned to their sor-
row when they sent an agent to Cum
berland to place the meter order.
They did admit, however, that some
times a commission is given to parties
getting business for them, but never
to anyone connected with a city gov
eminent. They deny that any rebate
was ever given to anyone in Hud-
son, which has been insinuated by
the mayor.
Mayor Utman said that he was
ready to make an affidavit to the eff
feet that he had been offered a 500
bride by an employe of Robinson &
Cary, and that he can go now and
pick out the emploYe.

MAY LOSE 100000.
State May Be Unable to Collect Large
Amount in Back Taxes.

0CaLe WAY DC OHdD!S 10 NOllSCC Large
Amount in Back Taxes.
There is a possibility that the state
of Wisconsin may be unable to collect
nearly 100000 due from several
railroads of the state-principally the
Milwaukee and Northwestern - for
back taxes, alleged to be due under
the old license fee system
Owing to a decision of the United
States supreme court in a similar case
involving Texas railroads, which went
against that state but is now up for
reargument, Wisconsin may now face
a similar determination of its impor-
tant suits.
At least Wisconsin suits have been
held in allegiance until the federal
court shall have made it's final deci-
sion in the Texas case. Regardless of
the outcome, however because of
some additional facts presented in the
Wisconsin cases, it is absolutely sure
the suits will be carried on
