SUPERVISORS
MEETING

There's something of the transition
period" atmosphere about the City and
County offices these days, for while
the test case in the Supreme Court
is pending, nobody altogether knows
where the line of demarcation lies be-
tween the Mayors right and the SUI
pervisors wrong, of the Supervisors
right and the Mayors wrong, or be-
tween the right and wrong of the Ma
'yor and the wrong and right of the
Supervisors.
The Supervisors are just as conf
dent that they are going to win out
in the matter of their appointments
and appropriations as the Mayor, ap-
parently, is confident that the Super
visors are going to lose.
Tonight there will be a meeting OF
the Supervisors, though what will ap-
pear in the proceedings other than
routine stuff is not now APPARENT.
In the meanwhile the Mayors ap-
pointees have religiously prepared all
their salary and wages demands and
are ready to march up to the Auditor
or the Treasurer. as occasion may re-
quire, in case high court decides the
test case in their favor.

WINNECONNE, Wis, Feb %
Especial. 1.-The agricultural course held
at the Winnebago County School of Ag-
riculture and Domestic Economy, located
here, opened Monday and is by far the
greatest agricultural meeting ever held
in the county. The total enrolment at
the close of Tuesdays sessions had
passed the $50 mark. With three days
left, of which today, horse show day.
promises to be the biggest it is fair to
estimate that the final enrolment will
exceed 800 farmers and their wives.
Prof. G. G. Humphrey, G.. A. Ococh,
and D. FL. Otis were here Monday and
Tuesday. Wednesday Prof. r. A.
Moore, A. r. WhitsOn and Dr. Ravenel
and President Van Hise of the state uni
versity and Principal Hatch of the Win
nebago school conducted the sessions.
Today and Friday Profs. Alexander,
Moore, Hart and Fuller of the state
college, G. W. Mccormick, beet sugar
manufacturer, and II. NJ. Culbertson
master of the state grange, will appear
and speak on a diversity of subjects to
the farmers.
AS a result of Tuesdays meetings it
is probable that local COW testing as

play of livestock, grains and grasses is
on exhibition. In the domestic science

MASON OFFICIALS WIN,
Town Officers, Accused of Discriminating
in Making Assessments, Are
Exonerated.

WASHBURN, Wis. Feb. 25-[ Spe-
cial. THE action which was started by
Chairman J. Yderstad of the town of
Mason in this county for the purpose of
Ousting from office the other officers of
his town for alleged illegal acts, has re-
suited in a victory for the officers and
they will continue to serve in office. 1t
was alleged that the officers had dis
eliminated in their assessment of the
different properties of the town, Chair
man Yderstad's action being based prin-
cipally on the action of the members of
the board of review in adjourning their
meetings when the officers of the lumber
company of the town had been request
ed to appear to give testimony. At the
trial of the case it developed that the
property of the town had been assessed
at below the actual value and the lum-
Der company was no exception to the
general rule.

CALF MAY GET FRISkY
WALTER HOUSER WINS CASE BE-
FORE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Board Decides That Express Company
Can Collect Only Published Rate
on Livestock Shipment.

MONDONI, Wis, Feb 25-[Spe-
elaI.I-lf an express company accepts a
live calf for shipment, it may lawfully
collect only the regularly published rate,
no matter if said calf proves refractory,
runs away, and its recapture involves an
expense many times the amount of the
rate for transportation.
This decision by the Wisconsin rail-
road commission was rendered in conse-
auence of an interesting experience of
former Secretary of State Walter +.
Houser. proprietor of the Ethelwold
stock farm near here. He shipped
dne bull calf and paid the rate of SIP
company at Mondovi. This was the
rate for calf uncrated, although if the
calf were Grated less rate could be
had. Mr.. HOuser chose to pay the high
er rate and not go to the trouble of
Grating the calf.
The bovine was tied with halter and
rope inside the express car. At Fair
child 1t was necessary to transfer his
caIfShIp from one train to another. in
which process the calf became frisky,
as calves will, dragged the agent a dis
lance and finally got away. The agent
hlred men to capture the shipment at a
cost of So and this SUM was added
against the consignment and collected
from the consignee. He demanded and
received the So back from Mr. Houser,
who took the matter up with the state
railroad commission, and got his So
back, the commission deciding that the
rate was SLIP as paid, that the ex-
press company might charge this rate
or change the rule and require calves to
be Grated when shipped alive; but so
long as this rate remained, the company
had to deliver the shipment at its
destination

READ THE LABEL.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance
to health and good baking of using
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and make
sure that the ingredients mentioned in
clude cream of tartar.
The food law does not force consumers;
it merely helps them to protect them
selves. All good hOusekeepers want
cream of tartar baking powders, and will
not use alum substitutes III the food, if
they know it. AS the ingredients are
printed on the back of the label, all may
know the facts.
Good baking powder is one of the most
useful things in the kitchen; it is easily
obtained at any store the better it is,
the more encOnomical it is in cooking
materials, and the more it conserves the
health of the family

THE BLIND SWIM STRAIGHT.
Keep Course with Marvellous Directness,
Guided by Sound

Just as some professional singers with
magnificent voices never learn to sing in
perfect tune, so do the trainers of really
fine swimmers often find it impossible
that men with every quality for racing
otherwise can be made or taught to
swim even in an approximately straight
line
Many n splendid swimmer is beaten on
this account, for his inveterate habit of
getting off his course naturally gives him
a roundabout journey. But the remark
able fact remains that blind swimmers
Of whom there are in this country q
considerable number in connection with
various institutions for persons so af-
dicted universally and without excep-
ton swim with marvellous directneSS; IN
deed, in as perfectly straight line as is
humanity possible, even when the dis
lance covered is very considerable
So much is this the case that DR..
Campbell, of the College for the Blind
at Upper Norwood, who particularly in
terests himself in the physical education
of the blind and has noticed this curious
fact, recommends that swimmers who
persstently foul each other on any
course should practice experimentally
when blindfolded.
Blind swimmers can, it appears. on
hearing a noise in any given direction
not only swim absolutely straight to the
point whence the noise proceeds, but
when left to themselves their steering is
Just as accurate.-Tit-Bits.

is WATCHING HARDIN
STATE DEPARTMENT INTERESTED
IN RUSSO-CHINESE ROW.
Administration Does Not Care to See
ANY Section of Portsmouth
Treaty Violated.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb %
Touching the situation at Hardin, Man
churia, where the differences between
the Russian and Chinese municipal ad-
ministrations are becoming more acute
the state department is watching events
with deep interest. The administration
is anxious that there shall be a faithful
observance of the provisions of the
treaty of Portsmouth to the end that
there may be 10 impairment of Chinese
territorial integrity or any denial of her
interests there.
The latest feature of the case. the
closing of the Chinese stores and ware
houses at the principal points in the rail
way zone west of Hardin, is an incident
with which this government is not yet
acquainted officially.
Ever since Mr.. Fisher. the American
consul at Hardin, questioned a year ago
the right Of the Russian director of the
Chinese Eastern railway to establish a
municipal government, the whole CUES
ton of Russian administration at Har-
bin with allied hatterS has been the sub
Ject of correspondence.
The present situation is practically a
recrudescence of that of a year ago,
when difficulty arose over the aprlica-
ton of the Russian regulations.

which they eat three times a day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the most
severe siege of whooping cough, they
could retain Grape-Nuts when all else
failed.

State Bar Interested

1t is not probable that the supreme
courts decision in this case will come
down before March and in the mean
time the bar of Wisconsin is manifest
ing great interest in the action, several
requests having come to the attorney
generals office for copies of the brief
submitted by Mr.. Jackson.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Bash
ford was appointed by Gov. Davidson to
fill the unexpired term of Justice j. B.
Cassoday, deceased. For his services he
received pay at the Fate of 5000 year,
or $500 for his six months in office
The salary of justices had previously
been raised to $4,000 and whether the
increase applies to the beginning of a
new term or to a new incumbent, seated
through any circumstances, is the ques-
ton at issue. incidentally it is known
that other members of the court are
financially interested III this very conten-
ton, and it is quite likely that they will
not sit in the final consultation bearing
on the Bashford case.

NEED TUBERCULIN TEST
ASSEMBLYMAN ONSTAD FINDS SUP
PORT FOR HIS BILL.
Livestock Board Declares of 12,267 Cows
Treated N Two Months 11O7
Were Diseased

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 25.-[Special.1
-Assemblyman Otto Onstad has found
data to support the law introduced by
him, 10 require that all cows the milk
from which is sold, shall be tested, in
the report made by the state veterinarian
to the live stock sanitary board yes
terday. This report shows that from
December Is to February "a, 12267
cows were tested for tuberculosis in the
state of Wisconsin and 1lO7 were found
to be diseased.
These tests have been carried on in
practically every county of the state. In
Milwaukee county 4OS cows were tested
and reaction indicating tuberculosis
was shown by 81; of "A tested in Ra-
cine county reaction was shown in IS
cases; of 062 tested in La Crosse coun-
ty % were diseased; of 80 tested in Eau
Claire county , were diseased; of 1874
tested IN Douglas county four were dis
eased and of 2113 tested in Waukesha
county, 139 were found to be infected.
To compel the testing of all cattle
Assemblyman Onstad has introduced a
bill providing that ''it shall be unlawful
for any person in the state of Wiscon-
sin to sell milk or products of the same
for food purposes unless from cows that
have within one year been tuberculin
tested by some party legally authorized
" Apply -SuCu test anu ulleSS Sucu COW
or cows have been found free from the
disease"
After a herd has once been tested, the
frequency that it shall have to be tested
thereafter shall depend upon the judg
ment of the livestock sanitary board.
For violation of the proposed law the
bill fixes the penalty of not less than
so or more than $50 or by imprison-
ment in the county jail for not more
than sixty days for each offense. The
data gathered by DR. NJ p Ravenel
showing that the tubercuIin germ can
be communicated by milk from the COW
to the human being will be presented to
