The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
hble to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surface of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The pro
prletors have so much faith in it's cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

How High Taxes Work.

Recently there was meeting OF as
SCISSORS at Madison to receive instruc
ton pertaining to their duties. The
most notable feature of the discussions
and talk at this meeting was along the
line of boosting values, pumping the
soup" into the taxpayer, if we are per-
mitted to use the slang of the street.
| Now Dane county stores lot of tObac-
CO owned in New York. The owners
are abundantly able to pay their taxes,
and should pay them, and no doubt
would pay them willingly, but for the
| fact that assessors in other counties,
realizing that tobacco may be easily
moved, and desiring to keep the indus
tries in their county and get something
out of it, assess the tobacco low with
the result that they get the tobacco
which naturally belongs to other towns.
The next day after the meeting of the
assessors in Madison, one enterprising
tobacco buyer, fearing that if he left
his tobacco here it would be assessed
high, hustled nine carloads out as fast
as ne could. What is the result? If
the hue and cry raised about soaking
the tobacco buyers had not been en-
phasized here, this tobacco would have
remained, we would have collected
about six or seven hundred dollars
taxes, and our local insurance agents
would have carried all the insurance on
it. Now we won't get single cent Of
taxes, our insurance agents will lose
their insurance, and the buyers of to-
bacco will steer clear of Stoughton in
the future. The question of taxation
in Wisconsin is getting to be mighty
serious problem owing to the fact that
tax laws are being enforced by men
lacking in judgment. Another thing
that makes the matter a very serious
proposition is the size of the tax bud
get. Our reformers are loading us be-
yond our capacity to carry. They are
standing menace to business. Take
the subject of interurban railroads; we
are practically the only state where the
building of them has come to a dead
standstill without ray Of hope of res
direction The situation is not espec-
tally pleasant to contemplate. We give
bonuses to get industries and tax them
to death after we get them. The pol
icy of the state heretofore has been to
tax industries that give labor work,
very lightly, The policy owes its origin
to the recognized benefits such insti-
buttons are to the communities in which
they are located. Under 1T Wisconsin
grew rapidly in wealth and enterprise,
taking high rank as manufacturing
state. A policy which has demonstrate
ed its usefulness and adaptability as
this one has, should not be cast aside
because it may be Incompatible with
the views of theorists whose only claim
to distinction lies in the fact that they
are able to evolve new tax theory
every other heart beat. To sum it all
up, it appears reasonably clear that if
Wisconsin is going to retain its manu-
featuring industries and business enter
prises it must rid itself of the public
servants responsible for existing condi-
tions. Before the advent of the inno-
vations we had no trouble about assess
ments and taxes; now we have nothing
but trouble and high taxes. -Stoughton

O. J. Erickson, Madison garage
owner, will have to stand trial in the
United States court at Madison on a
charge of obstructing the United States
mails, brought against him by Roy
Shelter, rural carrier on route No. |
going out from this city. While on his
way north from the lake at about half
past o'clock Friday afternoon, Roy
was on a narrow turnpike near the
John Williams farm, when he was met
by an auto driven by Erickson and con-
tanning seven or eight ball players
bound for this city where they were to
play. The road being too narrow for
the two to pass, Roy requested the
chauffeur to back up so he could get
across to where the driveway was wild
er, but Erickson at once began to be
abusive and ordered Shelter to make
way for him. Roy informed him that
he was carrying the U. S. mails and
that he could neither get off the road
nor back up, when the chauffeur start
ed his auto ahead with the result that
Roy's horse became frightened and
tipped the buggy into the ditch in
which there was water. The mail be-
came soaked, some of it practically
ruined.

Berlin.-Rarely has there been q the
atrical sensation such as was provided
by Paula Naumann of the Royal the
alter at Gera when the popular actress
committed suicide upon the stage. She
vas betrothed to the son of a wealthy
wooden manufacturer named Feistkorn.
The young couple expected to be mar
ried shortly, but their plans were in
terrupted by the fiat refusal Of the
millionaire to consent to his sons
union with any actress.
The elder Feistkorn sent a message
to Fraulein Naumann asking her to
dismiss her lover and offering to pay
her $4,000 If she complied with the
request. He added that il his son mar
ried her he would cut him out OF his
will and stop all allowances.
The actress was SO upset by the
idea that her affection could be bought
and sold by a plebeian parvenue that
she committed suicide in the most
dramatic n she could.

OHIO BATTLE next
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS NAME CHOICE FOR
PRESIDENT TUESDAY.
LIGHT VOTE PREDICTED
Ballots Of Both Parties Are Large
and Complicated.-Fight Be-
tween Wilson and
Hartman.

Columbus, Ohio. - All the presi-
Dental candidates now in Ohio rest
ing after their whirlwind week lead
ing up to the primary election and
the campaign managers began a final
effort to instruct the voters how prop
erly to mark their ballots. Both Re-
publican and Democratic ballots are
large and complicated.
On the Republican ballot there will
be three sets of candidates for dele
gates named in each of the Fl districts.
These are pledged respectively to
President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt and
Senator La Toilette. The m OF
the presidential candidates will not
appear on the ballots. The six dele
gates-at-large will be named by the
state convention here in June.
In addition to voting for d~elegatSs,
the Democratic voter will have a spe.
cial ballot on which the names Of Gov
errors Harmon and Wilson will ap-
pear.
The victorious candidate will name
the six MISUNDERSTANDING.
Both ballots are complicated by
carrying full county tickets, anne Of
candidates to county, judicial and state
conventions and congressional candi-
dates.
The Socialists will have a complete
national and state ticket in the field
and expect to poll a larger vote thar
at any previous primary.
Special elections for bond issues i1
many counties are also to be held al
the primary Tuesday and in a few
counties voters will be required to
mark three separate tickets. The pri
mary will open at $50 a. m. and close
at $3.50 p. m, but OF account Of the
complicated nature Of the ballot it |
expected that the returns will be SLOW
in coming to the county boards Of cleo
ton. II
Although the interest aroused by tn
campaign Of the presidential cand
dates of both parties has been intense
1t is not believed that an extraordii
airy vote will be poiled as the voter
are required to give their political a
filiation before securing a ballot an
this, it is claimed, together with tt
complexity Of the ballot in many cou
ties, will tend to keep voters fro 4
the polls.
