This, you will say, is only com

Yes, but the Wisconsin de-

In response to an inquiry by Auditor
General Fuller, Attorney General Kuhn
holds that the law passed at the last
session OF the legislature does not pro.
vide that county treasurers can receive
pay for certifying mortgages to tho
effect that the specific tax has been
paid. Many OF the county treasurers
are anxious TO know whether fee is
provided for the work and have been
disappointed when they found that
there was none.
The attorneys general has also ruled
that the state railroad commission can
not interfere with the regulation OF
electric roads in cities where the pub
lie service corporations are governed
by ordinances except to order crossings
and signal systems, etc

The Circus.

The Yankee Robinson circus visited
the city last Saturday and put on two
performances. Owing to the stories
which got here ahead Of the show
regarding the tough character of the
hangers-on and the faKishness OF the
attraction itself, the people OF the city
had locked up all their vsluables and
hired extra men to watch every nook
and corner OF their premises.
The stories were base fabrications.
We have never met more gentleman
ly lot of fellows than those who were
at the head Of thu different depart
ments of the show nor have we ever
been visited by more orderly lot OF

the the near future A total Of Ia, 326
ACRES Of these lands, together with
numerous city ard village lots. will be
sold to the highest bidder, providing
the price obtained is equal to the APP
praisal made by the land department.
By counties the lGnd is as follows !.

lots. These are lands on which the
taxes were not paid and which have
been decided by the auditor general TO
the state land department Each coun-
ty mas several city or village lots in the
list with the exception Of Ingham.
The minimum price that TIE state
land department places on lands that
are appraised is 81 per acre. This a.
mount used TO fall as low as 80 cents
per acre, but lands have advanced In
price throughout the state, and the
state does on longer appraise any land
~ SO low figure.
Another change made under the adj.
ministration OF Commissioner Russell
Il that land sales are now held in the
county seats OF the counties. where the
lands 10 be sold are situated. The old
custom was 60 have the sales held AT
the state capitol and many farmers
and others who were DESTROYS OF pur
chasing these tax homestead lands
could not afford to make the trip 70
Lansing consequently few purchases
were made Since the system Of hold
ing the sales has been changed the sales
have increased over 500 per cent
