MAKES RULING ON
COUNTY OFFICERS
ATTORNEY GENERAL OWE N
HOLDS PHYSICIANS ARE NOT
CONSIDERED AS SUCH.
vENISON SERVING UNLAWFUL
SchoIt Declares Law Affects Hotels
Even During the Open Sea-
son for Deer.

Madison.-That a county highway
commissioner, trustee of county
asylum and the turnkey at the coun-
ty Jail are county officials, but that
the county physician and the super
fntendent of the asylum are not cOun-
ty officials is held in an opinion by
Attorney General Owen.
In another opinion it is held that
where a county board of supervisors
has elected a chairman and vice
chairman and the person elected as
chairman resigns the board is not au-
thorized to elect new chairman. In
such a case the attorney general
holds that the vice-chairman will
succeed to the chairman hip. This,
he says, is in conformity with the
evident purpose of the law to pro-
vide that when the county board
meets it will organize permanently.
In an opinion to Chief Game War
den Scholts the attorney general
holds that hotels and boarding
houses are forbidden by law to serve
venison to their patrons even dur
ing the open season for deer.

MINNESOTA, ri; WISCONSIN, 8
Cardinal CoIors Are Traiied in Defeat
in Contest with Gopher Team
at Madison.

Madison.-Beaten, bumped and bat
tered, Capt Tandberg led his former
champion Wisconsin football team off
Camp Randall at the short end of a
Fl to score after the annual contest
with the University of Minnesota. The
Wisconsin team was clearly out
classed.
Three touchdowns, one scored in
the third and two in the fourth quar-
ter, left Wisconsin hopelessly in the
ruck, beaten team. Up to the first
touchdown the Badgers had fought
bravely, with all the apparent advan-
tage on their side. In the last two
periods bad breaks, coupled with per-
sistent hammering by the visiting
backs, turned what looked like a GER
tain victory into a rout, Minnesota
making big gains almost at will. Wis
consin scored it's three points through
q drop kick for goal by Bellows in the
first quarter.
Between 10000 and $4,000 people,
probably the largest in the history Of
Wisconsin football, witnessed the
game.

PELLAGRA VICTIM
DIES At MENDOZA
JOHN DAVENPORT OF FAIRFIELD
SUCCUMBS TO DISEASE IN
STATE ASYLUM.
Is SECOND DEATH In YEAR
Several Other Persons in State Are
Afflicted With flaIady, According
to State Health Board Secre-
tary Harper.

Baraboo.-John Davenport OF Fair
field, who died at the state asylum at
Mendoza, is the second person in the
state to die of the dread disease, pei
Iagra, this year. The other died last
spring.
Mr.. Davenport had been suffering
from the disease for several months
and recently went to Chicago to see a
specialist, but, unable to obtain relief,
returned to Wisconsin and went to
Mendoza
This disease is not common in this
section of the country, though the
secretary of the state board of health,
DIR. G. A Harper, says that perhaps
seven to ten persons in the state are
suffering from the disease. He says
these are confined to insane asylums
as the effects of the disease cause per-
sons to become insane.
DR.. Harper says the disease had its
origin in Italy and that it is supposed
to be spread by eating corn or corn
meal, though nothing definite is
known to this effect. He says the
greatest ravages of the disease are
among people who eat great quanti-
ties of cornmeal.

TO SWAMP TREASURY
STATE TAXES WILL BRING $4,000,
600 IN FEBRUARY.
Money Comes to Banks When Least
Needed-SGate Treasurer Would
Change Law So Railroads Can
Make Earlier Returns.

Madison.-Now that the state tax
has been levied State Treasurer
Johnson is worried over what he wild
do with the money when it comes in
in February. He complains that the
legislature has not heretofore amend
ed the law so that all the moneys
coming in to the state treasury will
not be paid in at the same time, par
ticularly at time when it is most
convenient for the banks to receive
it.
AS the law now is not only are all
February or by the first of March,
but there are lot of other taxes
which are made payable at that time.
For instance, there is onehalf of the
railroad tax which will amount in
February to more than $2,000,000;
the tax paid by the insurance COM
panies amounting to $850,000 and
100000 of telephone taxes.
There is approximately 100000
which the treasurer must take care
of during February. This money will
be placed in the state repositories
of which there are more than 100,
but the state treasurer is not per-
mitted to deposit in any bank more
than SO per cent of the amount of
the bond furnished by the bank nor
a sum greater than the capital stock
of the bank
Treasurer Johnson thinks that the
law requiring the railroads to pay
their taxes in February and August
should be amended so that the pay
ments might be made in June and
December. This would bring the
money in not only at a time when
the state might need it, but also at a
time favorable to the banks.

Many Hunters Get Licenses.

Madison.-That the number of resi-
dent game licenses issued in 1913 will
exceed the number issued in 1912 by
$4,000 is the opinion of Chief Game
Warden Shots, who said that already
many counties have exceeded last
years records and have found it neces-
sary to ask for more blank forms.
Last year the total number of resi-
dent licenses issued was 10000 at 81
each. The record also shows that for
the present year the number of Ii
censes granted to non-residents for
deer and small game exceeds the. rec
ord of last year at the present time, al
though the rush season for deer hunt
ing licenses has not yet arrived. The
number of deer licenses granted up
to date is 1853.

Ground of Failure To Comply
With Wisconsin Statutes.

Madison.-Argumen were begun
before the supreme court on the
states application for leave to an
null the charter of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. Attorney General Owen

Attorney Van Dyke, for the rail-
road company, declared that the COM
pany was founded under special
