THE MERR|MACK
BRIDGE MONEY PAID
Last Obstacle For the Pro-
posed Structure Has
Been Removed.

William O'Keefe and William
Biackman of Merrimack carried $500
across the country in an automobile 30
Portage where it was paid to County
Treasurer w. J. Dunn, thus remov-
ing the last sbstac to the financing
o. the highway bridge that Is to lie
built over the Wisconsin river al
Merrimack.
This sum, raised oy popular sub
scription and placed TO the credit
of the town of Caledonia by Mr..
O'Keefe of Merrimack, makes it
mandatory upon The town board to
appropriate like sum. Thus is pro-
vided Caledonia's share-$1 ,000-of
the cost of the bridge.
All the other to wns and villages ad-
jacent to the bridge site voted aid AS
apportioned. Caledonia at q special
election, voted not 10 extend the 1000
bridge aid. Il then became necessary
to take advantage of the provision of
the bridge law covering such cases and
force The town TO pay tae remaining
naf of tue u, 900 after one half had
been raised by voluntary SUBJ
scuptton. Otherwise $4,000
project would have been de-
tested because of paltry few hundreds
of dollars.

'PREScR|8ES FOR
THE PUBLIC ILLS
DR.. Charles M. Sheldon of
Topeka Impresses Bara-
boo Audience.
PEOPLE, NOT BUILDINGS
Gives Figures on Great
Cost of Liquor and To-
bacco--Opposes War.
PEOPLE, NOT BUILDINGS

/ Federation of churches was advo
Gated by DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon of
Topeka, Kan, addressing a large audi
ence at the Presbyterian church We'd
nesdsy evening. The eloquent author
of sin His Steps" cited instances
| where this is now being done and en-
| phasized the gain ii means to the
church in the broadest sense
"Instead of having several weak,
struggling churches in small town."
pleaded the lecturer, sit would be so
| much better to have some of them
unite and form one strong church"
"Men complain OF the high cost of
living" he said, sand yet as nation
we spend over $1,000, 900, 900 on liquors
and tobacco each year, or over 500
per family"
Testifying to results of prohibition
in his own state be said that in Kan
sas little over one gallon per capita
of liquor was drunk while in Wiscon-
sin il is GA gallons. In Kansas, he
Slated, the wealth per capita in banks
is 500, while in Missouri with practi-
cally the same advantages it Is only
$500 per capita.
The next he would remove from the
people is vice. He spoke of what be
termed the fallacy of dealing with vice
as a necessary evil and also of the follyS
as he viewed it, of some cities think
ing that they were improving condi.
tions by segregating vice. "The only
way to deal with the vice of impurty
is to wipe it out entirely" declared
the doctor. Young people he claimed
ought to be instructed as to the pro-
per functions of their own bodies and
not be left to learn about these things
from lewd people and ocscene litera-
ture. Eugenics he advocated being
taught in the schools.
Another thing the speaker would
have removed is race prejudice. OF
this he spoke hopefully. The public
schools. he said, are doing great
work along this line. He had ad-
dressed in Wisconsin in the last few
weeks schools where as high as twelve
nationalities were represented. AS
many as $4,000 foreign born students
attended our universities, and that, he
assert, was having wide influence
for common brotherhood.
The next and last thing he would
have removed is war. He sees no
occasion of spending $145, 100000 an
nually upon the U. 5. navy. DR..
Sheldon closed by speaking of the
three greatest factors for the working
out of these best interests of the peo-
ple-the home, the church and the
scnool.
The doctor said that when he goes
to a town or city, be is usually met
by a committee who are anxious to
show him their city. They take him
ar ound and show him their public
buildings, their factories, their finest
residences just as If this was what
constituted the city. "This is not
what constitutes city, but the peo-
Pile who live in il; and in the people
L am instructed, not In the build
ings," he declared. His lecture was
about some of the things that he
thinks would contribute to the best
interests of thu people. The au Hence
was deeply impressed.
The speaker was introduced by the
pastor of the church, Rev. e. g.
Henke.

School interest loans. ... 1851 st
Total. l..................$1 .$129, 744. A.
The item against Winfield is for the
reassessment taken last winter by the
state tax commission and must be
paid by Winfield. The insurance is
on the county buildings and the mon.
ey for the state penitentiary and othe
institutions goes away and does moi
come back.
The general assessment includes
some large Items which will be inter.
esting to our readers. They are taken
from the notice received by County

Normal schools. ........... 1850 81
Common schools .... 49,. 29, 1868 4E

Highways ..... .......... rs, 800. "a
Of course the money paid by the
taxpayers of Sauk county for the sup
port of the university and normal
schools does not come back except in
educational value 10 the young folks.
When q tax payer goes to Madison and
looks upon the new state house he
will not wonder that Sauk county
must pay more than $1,000 next year.
AS TO the money paid to the state for
highways it comes back and as to the
common schools, it remains here and
more is added to 1T from the state from
time to time. The total assessed valu-
alton of the property in Wisconsin is
placed at nearly three billion dollar s..
To be exact the Badger state is assessed
at 81, 1893, ,187, ,7O5. The rate of taxatio n
is about q mills.
