DEATH CALLS JAMES MORGAN
Was Once Wealthy Milwaukee Bust
ness Man and Democratic Candi-
date for Governor in 1888.

Milwaukee.-James Morgan, for many
years one of the leading dry goods
merchants in Milwaukee and in 1888
Democratic candidate for governor,
died at the home of Elmer Knutsen,
722 Cedar street. with whose family
he had been living for the last ten
years. Mr.. Morgan enjoyed an allow
ance from his fathers estate, which
kept him in reasonably comfortable
circumstances.
Mr., Morgan was native of Perth
shire, Scotland, where he was born on
March 81, 1871. AS a young man of
twenty-five he emigrated settling in
Peru, Ill. A few years later he estab-
lished himself in the dry goods bust
ness in Freeport, ILL.,, and coming to
Milwaukee in 1874 he organized the
James Morgan Dry Goods company,
which failed in the panic of 1898.
Prominent in the councils of his par
ty, he was nominated by the Democrats
in 1888 for governor, but was defeated
by w. d. Hoard.
So far as known he has no relatives
in this country.

SCHOOL FUND APPORTIONED
State Superintendent Divides Sum
of $I,ee8, 2s4.Ie Among Coun-
tteS of State.

MadisCn.-State Supt. c. F. Cary has
made the annual apporti0nment of the
common school fund income among the
different counties of the state. The
total amount apportioned was $1,SSS,-
2S4.19 which represents the fund In
come from the 40 of a mill tax, from
fines for criminal Offenses and from
various other sources which accrued
up to and including Dec !. 1910.
The apportionment was based on the
number of minors of school age within
the different counties on June 30, 1910,
the rate being $2,423 per person of such
age. The apportionment of each county
will be offset against the common school
tax levied against such county, and, in
most cases. the balance will be in favor
of the county.

charge Of firearms in the hunting camps
OF Wisconsin, compared with thirty
three i'll 1909, is the record appearing
in the office of Game Warden G. w.
Rickeman That the greatly reduced
number is at least partly due to his
suggestion that hunters wear red caps
while in the woods, is the belief of
Warden Rickeman, though he has no
faith that that practice will entirely
do away with the slaughter of men by
needless, amateur hunters. However,
the record is gratifying in that it shows
a great reduction, while the number of
hunters was the largest in the annals
of the department.

across Lake Winnebago. a distance of
ten and three-quarter miles.
Never before in the memory Of the
Oldest citizens has a team crossed the

this year the first team crossed the lake
