STATE STRONG BOX BULGES
Unexpected Receipts Bring Million
More Than Wisconsin Treasury
Held a Year Ago.

Madison.-State Treasurer Dab
reported to Gov. McGovern that al
the opening of business on Dec. l
there was $2,596, 62S.19 in the state
treasury. Of that amount $2,146,-
901.39 was in the general fund. Spe-
cial appropriations by the legislature
and current expenses of the state
government come out of the general
fund. The big balance in the gen.
eral fund is largely due to the fact
that the revenues from Inheritance
taxes, settlement of back tax suits
against the railroads and other
sources were larger than was ex-
pected The balance in the state
treasury on Dec. /, 1910, was ST.
503,392.62, or $1,093,235.5 less
than that of this year. The balance
in the general fund on Dec. /, 1910,
was 1912, 726.01, or $1,234,175.38
less than that of this year. The
cash on hand in the treasury on Dec.
/, 1911, was $26,252.S1, the remain
der of the funds being out at inter

right of the Indians to hunt and fish
on their own reservations. The state
game warden has been insistent that
the state laws should cover Indian
reservations and his deputies were
instructed to vigorously prosecute
the cases. AS the trial of the In

Washington Dec. 1.-THE Republi-

Independent of what the Democratic
majority in the house may do.
1t is not yet known what course the
Democrats will take. Some of them

the lines of the tariff board report,
when that shall be made public, while
others are convinced that the report
of the board will not begin to repre-
sent anything like the tariff for rev.

account.
1t was a field day for the Republi

the fact that practically all the Re-
publican callers when they talked poll
tics at all with him encouraged him
with statements of the better outlook
for his denomination and of the grow

Senator Gamble, whose colleague,

president will win every delegate in

carry the state in the November fol-

provided by the California legislature,
President Taft will have a sweeping
victory.
There is no opposition to and no

plays an important part in this case,
for, owing to the short and sturdy fig
ure of the great creator of the Niebe-

to so proportion the finished work
that Wagner's lack of height should
not seem exaggerated by comparison
with his Edgewater Park surround

discarded before the simple design

LESS CHEESE is NOW MAD {
Decrease in Output Is Due to High
Price, Declaration of Prominent
Dairyman at Sheboygan.

Sheboygan.-"Not half the cheese
is being manufactured this fall that
was made a year ago." declared A. D.
De Land, a leading local cheese
dealer. THE reason is the high
price of feeds. Farmers simply will
not buy them and consequently the
milk yield is much decreased. Bran
is selling at $27 and SIS ton,
whereas last year the price was $40
Prices are now up a quarter to half
cent over two weeks ago, but this
price is one and half cents below
last year. The cheese dealers have
very small stocks on hand compared
with former years"
