placed on the estate was little over
triCt attorney came before the court
for the final adjustment of the in
hcritanCe taxes to be paid by the two

was $71.Si527 for the estate of Mrs.

Mrs. Balm The total tax paid on the
two estates amounts of $SG, G,5l5.tb and
of this amount under the present law
the county will receive but S4,325.iS.
while more than $4,000 goes into the
general fund of the state. Had this
tax been divided in accordance with
the recommendation made TO the legis-

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-One of the interesting
cases tried at the term of circuit court
in Washhurn was from Prentice,
Price county, which originated at the
spring election over the license QuCs
tion. Under the new law the vote on
the license question must be by the
Australian ballot, but ii seems that a
good many votes were cast in Prentice
under the old system. AS result
Prentice will be dry the coming year,
unless the court holds that the intcn-
tion oi the voters must be considered
first The election was a warm one.
Counting the votes cast under the old
system and the new, license carries by
a small margin, but counting only
those cast under the Australian sys-
tenn no-liCense won out The election
clerks certified to those cast according
to law and not to the others, with the
result that the town went dry. A sa-
loonkcepcr secured writ Of Ger.

e Ash Of 29 pounds in the morning and
lost another, his spinning line being
broken by the rush of heavy fish
Fishing with prawn the afternoon Of
the same day, the same angler, in the
same pool, got into good fish at his
first cast. After long fight the fish
was gated and landed Then was re-
vealed strange state of things. The
prawn tackle had never touched the
fish; In fact the hooks we're foot or
more from 1t. They had caught in the
cast which had been lost that morn
ing, and was now twisted into knots
and taagles, mo doubt by the salmon
endeavoring to get rid of the treble
Norsk cast and hooks. Thesline had
been got rid Of AS the prawn swung
down the pool 1t had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon, and
fish (33 pounds), cast, and tackle were
recovered. We watched the incident
from the road, and crossing the river
handled the recovered cast. Many
maintain that salmon once hooked and
played for any length Of time leave the

The Prolific queen Bee.

The queen bee Is great antagon-
ist Of race suicide. She strives to
perpetuate the race with an ardor and
an understanding that Is worthy OF the
highest commendation. Some have
been known to lay 1000 eggs day for
. year, the number lessening after
that to 1.2OO and going forward At
that ratio for another two years.
With $4,000 bees to the colony that
single praiseworthy queen laid enough
eggs to establish 4e colonies. Bee
keepers figures on net income OF
three dollars colony each year. If
the owners OF the bee under discus.
sion profited from her labors to that
extent the gain was $148. II is not
to be presumed that any such results
were obtained. To argue 80 much in
favor Of one bee would be to plscs
belief in the statement that man
with ten acres of ground and two rab-
bits can become millionaire in three
years selling rabbit skins to glove
