Attorney A. c. Titus, first assistant

Judge Halsey of the circuit court to
dismiss the case of John Bennett
against Joseph E. Waller, state fac

states permission. While in Milwau-

Ask a Lower Valuation.

Ask a Lower Valuation.
Representative of the Milwaukee
road. Chicago & Northwestern and
Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad companies appeared
before the Wisconsin state tax COM
mission and asked for lower valua-
ton on the property of those com
panies in this state. The preliminary
valuations fixed by the commission
several weeks ago were: ST. Paul,
$50 100000, an increase of 100000
over that of last year; Northwestern,
SS7 200, 900, increase of $5,8G0,0c0;
Omaha, $27,OOO,OO0, an increase of
100000. A. S. Dudley of Milwaukee,
tax commissioner of the Milwaukee
road, said he believed the valuation Of
his road should be reduced on account
of the large falling off in business, due
to the financial stringency, and Thola-
as A. Polleys of st. Paul, tax commits
sioner of the Omaha, contended that
the valuation of the general property
of the state should be considerably tn
creased, which would result in a Tow
ering of the average rate of taxation,
which the railroads pay. Frank p.
Crandon of Chicago, tax commissioner
of the Northwestern, also gave rea-
sons why the valuation of the property
of his company should be lowered.

Thought Mule Was a Bear.

Port Jervis. n. Y.-Erastus War;
field, residing on the Plank road, eight
miles north of this city, was the most
frightened negro in this section last
night.
He was on his way to neighbors to
ascertain whether he had any cure for
sick mule and had proceeded only a
mile when he discovered that he was
being followed by something.
A bear had been killed in the neigh
borhood month ago, and Visions of
another bear rose up before the en-
cited dar:sey. Altho he is 75 years old
and afflicted with rheumatism, he
started on a keen run.
The patter of feet behind him made
Erastus wild with terror, and he fairly
flew over the ground, reaching the
neiehbor's house in remarkably quick
time.
Without asking permission he pushed
open the door and, rushing in upon the
startled household, yelled: Bear
Going to the door the neighbor found
Warfeld's mule there. The animal had
followed it's master out of the barn
when he started for medicine and had
run behind him all the way.
IIrastu.s does not like to hear any one
ask him why he ran three miles to es-
cape his own mule instead of a bear
1t makes him wrathful.

St Adams, VIA most interesting
relic, which may be secured for the
Vermont Historical Society collection.
has been discovered at Swanton juno
ton.
John Billiard, while cleaning the
premises on what is known as the Jed
Mack farm, found an old flag, evidently
dating back to the revolutionary period,
nearly covered with dust and dirt,
rolled up on the sill of an old barn.
The flag is made of the finest Of
homespm linen and is fifteen feet long
and three feet eight inches in width.
In the center of the banner is a
painting In oil of an eagle perched up
on a rock bearing in its talons shield
and arrows. In it's beak it holds pine
sprig. Over the eagle is painted the
motto Independence Forever" The
word "Swanton." which appears below
the eagle, apparently was added at
later date as the lettering is in dilier-
ent hand from that of the motto and
the colors used are not the same.
The thirteen stars and thirteen
stripes tend to show that it was made
before Vermont. In 1891. was admitted
as the fourteenth state OF the Union.

virtues. say Mcbride & Will, who are

the best proof when it was introduced
that 1t possessed unusual curative
powers. Mcbride & Will took all the
risk of the treatment giving satisfac-

be the judge.
Later when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our wellknown phys

wives as treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh. no matter how serious
or long standing, the sales rapidly grew
and today there is no other remedy in
