FAIR A BIG SUCCESS.
Although Receipts Are Less Than in
1907, They Will Meet Expenditures.

The state fair was success.
1t was a success from the exhibit
ors standpoint and from the view
point of the visitor.
1t was a financial success in that
the receipts will meet the expendi-
lures There may be a slight balance
left when all bills nave been paid
but Secretary True does not estimate
that it will be more than $4,000 or
So, 900.
The receipts from the three largest
sources of revenue-the gates, grand
stand and privileges - are within
$4,000 of each other, the revenue from
these three sources last year beinS
ST. 1865 and for the present year $68.
3S165
The gate receipts for the entire
week We're disappointment to the Of
ticials They were more than $4,000
less than last year, according to the
figures OF Superintendent of Gates F.
L. Clemens. 1t was said last night,
however, that this deficiency would
be Offset by the revenue derived from
the privileges and from receipts from
the grand stand and amphitheater.
The privileges alone show a hand
some gain over last year, Supt. Oscar
F. Roessler turning over $15,100 to
Secretary True This is gain of over
$4,000.
In addition to this, there is still to
be added tae rental from stalls and
pens and money coming from the paid
entries, which will bring the totals up
slightly better than those of last year.
These figures have not been compiled
yet. The forage department may show
a slight surplus, although it is not the
intention of the board to make this de-
partment q money Garner.
The total expenses Of the fair for
this year are something like $4,000
in excess Of what they were last year.
this being on account OF added conces-
sions and higher premiums which
have been awarded.-W.

BOUNTY ELLIS HEAVY.

Hunters Secure Money as Well as
Sport in Douglas County.
During the year ending Sept 1 it
cost the county of Douglas over $4,000
in bounty on wild animals pelts. The
state paid like amount, and the hunt
ors in this vicinity reaped nearly all
the harvest. A few outsiders obtained
part of the money, but the largest
share went to local nimrods.
The statistics in the county book,
which is carefully kept, show that 1870
full grown wolves were slaughtered
in Douglas county in the past year.
In addition "a wolf cubs, 76 Wildcats
and lynx were killed. In bounty on
these animals the county paid $2,182
and the state the same.
The bounty on full grown wolves is
the largest offered by either the state
or county. and is the same in both
cases. Wolf cubs are only worth SO.
the county paying half of the bounty.
Wildcats and lynx scalps draw SIS
from both state and county. Deputy
County Clerk w. ]. Leader says that
the increased number Of wolves killed
during the year is not due to the in
creasing proves of the hunters. but
to the fact that the country is being
rapidly settled and the forest beasts
driven into a closer area. where they
can be easily hunted. The increase is
very noticeable at the county treasur-
er's office, for where a few years ago
the bounty money never exceeded $500
and most of the time lowered around
$500. it is now $1,000.

State News of Interest
CITY MEMBERS FIGHT.
Object to Paying Bounties for SIaugh-
ter of Gophers.

ter OF GopherS.
The matter Of paying bounties on
gophers and the question of how the
bounties are to be paid, ii paid. will
probably cause quite a ruction in the
Eau Claire county board at the COM
ing November session 1t looks now
as though it will be a fight between
the city members of the board and the
county memb0s.
Last fall a measure passed the
board providing that bounties be paid
on gophers, each town paying the
bounties on all the gophers killed in
each town, and each town then to be
reimbursed at the fall meeting of the
board for the money paid out for 60
pher bounty out OF the general fund.
This is where the big rub comes in.
AS the towns are the only ones bene-
flied, and not the cities, the city men,
bers hold that the towns ought to pay
for the benefits derived and not the
cities.
What brought the matter to q focus
was the size Of the money that will
have to be paid out of the general
fund next fall for the first years boun-
ty on gophers alone. Some of the
towns have already paid out as high
as 5000 each for gophers, and with
twelve towns in the county it is east
ly figured that it will take something
over $4,000 out Of the general fund
this fall to reimburse the towns for
what they have paid out The city
members of the board look upon such
an outlay as extravagant and will try
to have it done away with altogether

Former Ashland Man Wants Repara

The famous Duke murder case of
Ashland will be one of the interesting
matters before the next Wisconsin

ly of Ashland, but now of Chicago
who killed James Duke in that city
after a quarrel, will present claim
to the Wisconsin legislature for dam

In seems that after French had fin
ished a penitentiary sentence for kill
ing Duke he was confined in the
Northern Hospital for the Insane on
the ground that he was not in his
right mind. Finally, when a hearing
was accorded him, French was found
to be sane, and it is for the period
that he was confined in the Northern
