whom he spoke wanted improve

the Board should refuse to listen TO

of ten days delay would not hurt

New York BODY at Madison.

The committee of the New Yorh
legislature which has investigated the
primary election system in various
states held hearings in Madison. AS
Wisconsin offers conspicuous examples
of the working of the primary law
the committee also held a hearing in
Milwaukee.
Secretary of State James A. Frear
the first witness, declared his belief
that the methods in this state had de-
creased "bossism" and excited live
lier interest on the part Of the people
in the personality Of the candidates
The committee was apparently inter
ested in the outcome of the recent
senatorial investigation, which probed
the expenditure of large sums OF
money by Republican candidates for
the United States senate, particularly
the $107,500 campaign fund of Senator
Isaac Stephenson. Secretary FreaI
told the committee that in spite OF
this instance of large expenditures he
did not believe it true as has been
often stated, that "the poor man can't
get Office in a primary election" He
showed that even Stephenson, though
eventually elected, received only SO
per cent. of the Republican vote and
that F. e. McGovern, who spent only
$11, 900, was strong third in the
race. State Senator John M. White
head of GAINESVILLE was called later.
He was opposed to the primary sys'
tenn.

Two Experts Engaged.

The special legislative committed
appointed to confer with railroad of.
ficials and secure if possible a settle
ment of the suits now pending against
the railroads to recover to the state
sums said to be due as taxes on gross
earnings, met in the office of Attorney
General Frank l.. Gilbert.
Organization was perfected by the
selection of Senator George B. HUGH
nall as chairman and Assemblyman
L. w. Ledvina as secretary.
Mr.. Gilbert produced the vast vol
ume of documentary matter that has
accumulated in the cases and after
examining the situation casually the
committee decided to engage expert
assistance to compile and tabulate the
figures and statistics involved. To
this end S. w. Gilman and Edwin G..
Mason, both of Madison, and both of
whom were employed as experts in
the preparation of the original cases,
will be employed to make the neces-
sary tabulations. When this work is
completed the committee will meet to
consider the situation in conference
with the railroad officials. The next
meeting will be held some time the
first part of September.

HORSE REFUSES
To LEAVE RIVER
STRANGE ACTIONS OF EQUINE
AROUSE CURIOSITY OF PEo-
PIE AT FREEPoRT, ILL.
UNABLE TO CATCH ANIMAL
Will Not Emerge When Anyone Is Near
Apparently Is Eating Nothing
Unless 1t Is Leaves of Trees
Along the Stream.

Freeport, Ill-"Truth is stranger
than fiction" This is an old saying,
but not so old but that it may apply
to present day affairs. A few days
ago there appeared short account of
the strange actions of a horse, the
property of Michael Parker, plumb
er. The article went on to state that
Mr.. Parker had turned his black horse
out to pasture week previous to the
appearance of the article, and that the
animal had taken to the river the first
day that 1t had been turned loose, and
no one had seen it on dry land since.
Farmers, whose curiosity had been
aroused by the stories told of
the horse, went to the river at night
to see If the horse did not come out
to feed during the darkness, but
were astonished to learn that the
animal stayed in the water. One
day recently Mr.. Parker sent four
men up the river in a row boat to
endeavor to get the animal out CG
the river The horse led them
merry chase, walking and swimming
in the river for nearly four miles.
1t was then that the men, their hands
blistered with rowing, gave up the
chase and returned to Freeport ac-
knowledging that the horse had gone
crazy"
The other day, launch owner, hav'
ing heard the story, determined to as
certain for himself how much truth
there was in the story. Louis Clark
with few friends went up the river
in his launch, and near the iron bridge
still found the horse in the water. He
and his companions were very much
surprised, but one of the young men
Immediately recognized the animal as
the property of Mr.. Parker.
When the launch drew close to
the horse it was seen that it was
stuck in the mud, or at least his
hind legs were in the mire to such
