COMPILE INHERITANCE LAW

Madison, Wis, July 23.-Secretary
of State J. A. Frear has just had
the inheritance tax laws of Wiscon-
sin compiled and printed in pamphlet
form. The laws were materially
amended at the recent session of
the legislature and it was necessary
to have them republished in con-
venient form. The compilation was
done by A. G. Zimmerman, probate
Judge of Dane county, who drafted
most of the amendments to the in
heritance laws and closely followed
them through the legislature The
pamphlet shows all of the charges
made in the old laws, citing chapters,
sections and subsections of the laws
amended The pamphlet also con-
tains a splendid index, giving the
provisions of the laws in question
in detail Copies of the pamphlet
may be obtained from the secretary
of state without cost.

ANDERSON WAGON
FACTORY AND REPAIR SHOP

We took time Friday morning to
visit the A. Anderson Wagon Manu-
featuring establishment in this city
located near Daly's Opera House. 1t
will be remembered that about one
year ago he rented of John Parrish
the large barn building located on a
lot facing Third Street North. He
has fitted it up into two stories, the
ground floor of which is used for
blacksmith shop and machine room
where he has es blished a variety
of machinery for doing all kinds of
new and repair work that. comes to
him to make and repair His ma
chinery is modern and up-to-date and
is propelled by a five-horse power
motor. The second floor is used for
a paint shop, upholstering room and
store room where all the finishing
work is done. He employs most of
the time four and five people be-
sides himself and he informs us that
LIS OuoineoS lS gradually growing.
AS he has the time he improves and
perfects the arrangement of his fac
tory in accordance with the demands
made upon it. He is rapidly build
ing up an excellent trade and has
the reputation of doing first-class
work. We are glad to note the pro-
gress of this concern for we believe
it will grow and develope into larger
capacity. Mr.. Anderson and his en-
ployees are all courteous and pleas
ant gentlemen to do business with.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Last Monday evening some thought
less youth, thinking no doubt to play
Joke" on some one, stretched
string across the sidewalk not far
from the Cooperative laundry Soon
after Aslak Boe, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fl. y. Boe, aged about II years, came
along on the run. Striking the string
he was tripped up, throwing him vio-
Iently on the walk, striking on his
head. He was rendered unconscious
by the fall, but soon recovered con-
sciousness and was able to walk home
with some assistance. It was found
necessary to put him to bed, and his
condition since has been such that it
is not possible at this writing to de-
termine how serious the accident
may prove.
Such tricks are nothing less than
criminal, and the danger from falling
on a cement walk is very great. Even
young boys ought to realize this dan-
ger and confine their joking propen-
sites to more harmless channels
Mortified Independent.
Our home boys should bear in mind
that such jokes are dangerous.

SURVEY AND LEVELS MADE

The firm of Jacobson & DeGuere
We're engaged the past week to make
plans and a survey Of the Wisconsin
river from a point crossing the
river opposite the Reporter Printing
office to the Consolidated Water
Power C0mpany's dam, and the loca-
ton of two stone dams to be so con-
structed that they would back water
and hold it the year around between
these two points. The purpose and
objecI OF the erection of these dams
is to back water and cover the bed
of the river and prevent the disagree
able appearance Of the same which is
now seen between these two points
in dead low water. The outlook from
the east bank Of the river during
this time Of the year is very often
sive to the travelling public as well
as the residents and those who are
employed in the public buildings in
that vicinity The rough estimate Of
the cost of this work is from $4,000
10 $4,000 for the erection Of two and
POSSIBLY three dams. If this can be
n,carried out, it will certainly add to
the looks and beauty of now very
offensive part of the Wisconsin river
in dead low water

BASEBALL GAME
PLAYED SUNDAY

The Port Edwards base ball team
have added another victory to their
list by defeating Stevens Points city
team, the score being 4 to 3 at the
close of nine innings. Stevens Point
put their own umpire on the dia-
mond, but with all the odds against
them the Port Edwards plucky nine
held their own. Of course this is
the Same Old Story" to Stevens
Point only little different. The
batteries were Hubbard and Hartel
for Stevens Point and Nash and Bur
gard for Port Edwards. A large
crowd of rooters from Grand Rap
ids and Port Edwards went to the
Point and all were satisfied with
the game.

FAST OF ABB
The Jews can Enter HalIOWed
Site of King SoIomon's
Temple.

And the ransomed of the Lord
shall return, and come to Zion with
songs and everlasting joy upon
their head: they shall obtain joy
and gladness, and sorrow and sigh
ing shall flee away.'-Isaiah 10.
The promise of the olden prophecy
into its holy of holies. For the first
time in eighteen centuries the Jews
are 10 enter the hallowed site of
King Solomon's temple in Jerusalem
and worship the Lord according to
their creed.
On July 27 occurred the Fast of Alb
the most mournful of all Jewish holy
days save the Day Of Atonement.
Hitherto for the orthodox Jews the
day has been one of gloom and
mourning unrelieved. This year it
will be different. After waiting 1888
years permission has been granted
by the Turkish government for the
Jews to pass through the forbidden
gates of the temple site and to OBJ
serve the day with fasting and prayer
on sacred ground.
All over the world, wherever Jews
assemble to observe the day, there
will be a note of rejoicing in the
plaintive prayer for the rebuilding
Of the temple and the restoration of
the promised land. The prophecies
are coming true, and the act of the
Young Turk regime in recognizing ali
races and religions on an equal basis
contributes one of the most signifi-
cant events in the marvellous history
of the Jewish race.
The Fast of Alb was instituted in
memory of the destruction of the
holy temple by the Romans under
Titus, TO- A. D., and the final dis
persion of Israel Since then no
Jew has been permitted even to
look upon the sacred site of the
ancient temple.
Since 664 A. D. Moslem soldiers
stationed at the gates have repulsed
or slain all those who sought to en-
ter, or turned them over to the mer-
ciless anger of the Mohammedan fan
atics. Deprived of the right to wor
ship or gaze upon their ancient place
of worship, the devout Jews have
waited without the walls, wailing and
praying that the house Of the Lord
be returned to them. All through
the weary centuries since the dawn
of the Christian era. they have wait
ed; their tears have worn the stones
of the walls that shut them out. The
SPOT outside the walls has become
known as the Jews wailing place"
and every Friday evening aged Jews
from every part of the world have
met there to weep and pray. This
was the nearest they have come to
the sacred inclosure since Titus
drove them out 800 years ago.
But things change. The ancient
temple, first built by King Solomon,
burned and razed by Nebuchadnezzar
in $50 B. c., rebuilt by King Ezra,
beautified by Herod, destroyed by
the Romans and rebuilt by Christian
crusaders and Mohammedans, once
more shall be opened to the chosen
people. The prayers to Jehovah will
mingle with supplications to Allah
And July 27, 1909, A. D., becomes
one of the significant days in his
tory. Sunday Chicago Tribune.

If the present General AS

proposition. 1t is said that some
thing like half a dozen new coun-
ty propositions are already knock

and the House, or are getting
ready to knock loud and longingly
before the session is much older.
The Red Springs people are the
first at the bat-they want Robe
son divided into Robson and
North Robson, with the new
courthouse at Red Springs. The
people in and around Raeford
who were here at the last session
are getting ready to make mo,
for the Glenn county county proposition
to be formed from parts of Cum
berland and Robson with the
court house at Raeford. The
county of Ransom to be formed
from parts of Wake, Johnson,
Franklin and Nash, with the
county site at Zebulon, Wendell OF

AS the people in the new terri.
tory may decide by ballot it is
being seriously considered by the
people living around the junction
of these four big and Influential
counties.
