UNCLE ISAAC'S
EXPENSE ACCOUNT
SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEEN IN
MADISON BUT RETURNED TO
MILWAUKEE FOR REPAIRS.
CARRIES TOTAL EXHIBIT OF
$4,000 PAID OUT, PRINcI-
PALLY BY AGENTS.
Madison. Feb. Il

Madison, Feb. IL.
The much discussed expense account
of Isaac Stephenson was in Madison
yesterday all day. 1t was here to be
fled in the Office of Secretary af State
Frear, it is said, but owing to some
defects discovered in it by Chairman
E. A. Edmonds of the republican
state central committee it was not
subjected to the rubber stamp that
would have made it a part of the re-
cords of the commonwealth. On the
contrary, it is said, it was made the
subject of deep scrutiny by Mr.. Ed
monds, who finding something in it
which he did not understand-Or some
thing of that sort-replaced it in it's
enclosure and started with it for Mil
waukee yesterday afternoon.
1t is said, by those who profess to
have seen the document, that it car
ries grand total of some Sill 900;
that the largest single item is $4,000
for printing and engraving; that
81, 600 was paid for postage stamps
and $4,000 passed through the head
quarters in Milwaukee. 1t is further
reported that Chairman E. A. Ed
monds, H. L. Pulicher of Milwaukee,
A. j. Van Cleave of Marinette and a
Mr.. Hackett of Fond du Lac were
the principal disbursers.
It is expected that Mr.. Edmonds will
return from Milwaukee with the doc
ument today and that it will be filed
promptly upon arrival here.
1t was said at one time that Mr.
Stephenson would not file the state
ment until 80 days after his election
but as that event has been postponed
by the tide in senatorial affairs, he
has evidently concluded not to take
advantage of his privilege as deter
mined by legal authority.

CHARGES AGAINST
POSTAL EMPLOYEES
GIVEN TEN DAYS TO DEFEND
Themselves AGAINST ALE
CATIONS OF LOBBYING.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Act1ng upon
charges made against three officers of
the organizations of postal employees,
Postmaster General Meyer yesterday
served notice that he would allow
them 10 days in which to defend them
selves of allegations of lobbying be-
fore congress in the interest of legis-
lation affecting postal employees. Com

Rogers of Chicago, president of the
united association of postoffice clerks;
William E.. Kelley of Brooklyn, pres
ident of the national association of
letter carriers, and E. H. Roberts OF
this city, representing the railway
postal clerks.
The three men represent about 49,
900 employees of the postal service. The
postofice department is confronted
with the greatest deficit in its history,

representatives is embarrassing to the
department 1t is stated in this con-
nection that the postmaster general
has written letters to the chairmen OF
the postoffice committee of congress
declaring that, while he favors legis-
lation to improve the condition of
postal employees, he cannot recon-
mend such action at this time in view
of the condition of postal revenues.
He also has informed them that II
they will establish special parcel post
ON rural routes it will increase the
revenue by many millions of dollars
without any outlay, because there Will

TUBERCULIN TEST.

DTS. Grimes and Cow are in Carlisle this week for the puf- pose of making the Tuberlin test on the cattle of our dairy owners. These gentlemen will only be here the one time. and ii a test k not made on your cattle now, YOU cannot have it done at all after they leave.
 X great many of you are ship ping milk into Memphis, and Ii Your cattle does not stand the Tuberculin test you can do SC any longer. Pure Food is a subject every man, woman ana child should be interested ln.
 There is nothing compelling you 10 have this test made, but, we trust that our dairymen will readily see that it is to their own interest more than any one elses. and do everything possible to aid these gentlemen in this work.
 The government has sent DTS. Grimes and Cow here free ot charge and the only cost to you is the small sum of ten cents per head, which goes to pay for the unskilled labor used in making the test.
 Have the tuberculin test made on your cattle and assist these gentlemen all you can.

The Banks and Advertising

The fact that the deposits ir in the Oneida tN Y,) Savings bank have increased about S@o, 0O0 during the past six months, and this in spite of the general depression and the cry that many people Were out of em- ployment, is unguestioned evi- dence says the Oneida Dispatch, that it pays a bank as well as merchants to advertise. Some of the more skeptical trustees may still profess To believe that this increase was due to a natnr- al business growth or other in- fuences of enterprise on their part, but inasmuch as the bank has carried an advertisement in the local papers for abOut a year, they must admit that ad vertising was partly if not wholly the means of bringing in this extra large sum of money. The increase is there, and no one can deny that the advertising infu- enced much of it.
 Banks in other cities have in creased both their deposits and assets through intelligent and systematic advertising. In Pittsburg the banks that adyer- tise in the newspapers show an increase in assets of 38 per cent, and in deposits of 5 per cent, in a period of five years, while those that did not adyer- tise gained in the same time only ? per cent, in deposits and II per cent, in assets.
 What is true i'll this regard of the banking business is un- doubtedly true of other forms of activity. It is the man that adyer- tises consistently and intelligent ly who wins the big prizes in the business world.

The Critical Public.

The man who gets angry about
 Whata newspaper prints of him self should return thanks a dozen mes each day for what d news lpaper knows of him and sup presses. Any fool can find things to print in a newspaper, but it takes a wise newspaper to find things to keep out. :"
 All of which is very true, re marks an exchange It k gen erally supposed that newspapers print everything they can tiLd out that is any ways near fit to print, but that is a mistaken idea. The average coun try newspaper refrains from pub fishing many things that might pass as news because it would reflect on the character or repu- tation of some individual, CT in directly on his family and town.
 And this reminds Us, and we presume other newspapers have noticed it, that if anything hap pens to get into the paper that does not please some subscriber and We have known of some cases where the offended person was not and and never had been a SubScriber-it does not take long for the person to let the editor know all about it. On the other hand, a newspaper may say all kinds of good things about this same person, and throw boquets promiscously at others, yet not once in a hun- dred times will the compliment be noticed or the editor.
 This goes to show what people tlke too much as a matter of course. A newspaper is expect ed to speak well of everybody, boom the town and do a lot of h r work for the good of the cause, ," for it cost nothing to run d newspaper-so too many seem to think. It is fortunate that most publishers are public spir- tied citizens. They do much without hope of reward on earth, content if they see good accom- plished by their efforts.
