Wausau, rs and "a.
Madison.-T. M. Purtell, state fire
marshal, has issued bulletin enti-
tied Christmas Dangers in which
he offers advice to 'fond parents and
responsible church officials. To the
latter he says: 'There can be found
no better recipe for giant firebrand
than the following: Take twigs of
resinous trees, festoons of leaves,
wreaths of tissue paper, bags of net
ting, cotton batting, fluffy clothes for
dollies, toys of dry, painted wood,
ornaments of explosive celluloid;
fix, and insert a few dozen candles
and label it The Ideal Incendiary."
Milwaukee.-K. K. KEENAN,, state
income tax assessor, speaking before
the law class of Marquette univer
sity on the income tax law, said it
would probably cost 100000 to adj
minister it the first year. Mr.. Ken
nan said the tax commission could
spent $4,000. The state, he said,
had been divided into thirty-nine
districts and the assessors of incomes
would be paid from 81, 700 to 81, 500.
The yield of the tax the first year to
the state would probably not meet
the expense of collecting it, he said.
Prentice.-Frice county will be
the first in the state to make a test
of chapter 513, the new law passed
at the last session of the legislature,
giving to the people the right of ref
erendum in certain cases. Petitions
are now being circulated demanding
of the county board of supervisors
that it either repeal a resolution
appropriating $4,000 for the erec-
ton of a training school building at
to
the voters for determination.
Viroqua.-An unusual case has
come to light of young man of Coon
Valley changing his name to that of
his bride, while her name remains
the same Emil Erickson was mar
ried to Alma Pauline Sloan, but the
couples name is not Erickson. BY
taking the necessary legal steps he
has had his name changed to Sloan.
Madison. State Bank Commits
sioner A. E. Kuolt has approved the
following charters: The Wisconsin
Loan and Trust company, Superior,
capitalized at $4,000. Farmers and
Citizens bank, WATERFOWL, capital
lied at $4,000.
Beloit THE Beloit college glee
and mandolin clubs will take a trip
to the Pacific coast in February or
March as the guests of the Santa Fee
railroad. Transportation is furnished
free on condition that the clubs en-
terrain the roads workmen at divi-
sion points. The trip is a coveted
one each year and was eagerly
sought by many colleges and uni
versity clubs.

Turner of this town have lived in
the same house here for forty-fiva
years. They recently celebrated
