and was COMMITTEES. Terrell's mother
accuses him of beating her with a billy
club. Two policeman clubs. billy and
two revolvers were found at Terrell's
home and We're offered in court as evil
deace. The trouble is alleged to have
grown out of the murder of Joe Terrell.
whom it will be remembered was shot
while lying in bed on Dec 26, 1905 At
the hearing on Thursday young Terrell
accused his mother of being the insti.
gator of the plot which resulted in the
murder of the elder Terrell, ard upon
his testimony she was Immediately ar

In his story on the witness stand

figures a Surprise.

TIE report Of the Wisconsin State
Board of Agriculture for 1913 sets
forth some surprising figures. The
counties of upper Wisconsin lead the
average Of hearty every state in our
great commonw ealth, regardless Of its
situation or TIE price Of the land, in
the production Of crops. The greatest
surprise arises from the fact that in
the production OF corn the twenty six
counties of Wisconsin average over
forty-one bushels of corn to the acre.
The average of the United States is
twenty two bushels per acre. These are
average yields. not the highest yields
These figures demonstrate eonclusively
that Wisconsin is in the corn belt
We are also told that in one place in
northern Wisconsin there are 420 900
bushels of potatoes shipped during the
present year. Figure this out at fifty
cents a bushel
Yields Of oats are reported showing
a yield. for illustration, in Florence
county Of seventy bushels per acre.
The New York market reports two
varieties Of the Winscosin apples at
the head Of the market. The Chicago
Record Herald S the authority for the
statement that Wisconsin Wealthy anc
Mcintosh Reds stand as the favorltes
in the New York market and that an
other Wisconsin apple. Wolf RIVER.
holds a first position on the same Ne"

When We stop and think what has
taken place during the past year or 80

TAX STRIKERS CONDEMNED

Commissioners ana supervisors Are

tenti6n to This Matter.

FREMONT, Neb.. Dec, 9-(speclal Tel
egram. )-Radical changes In the assess
ment laws. abolition of the office OF road
supervisor and the creation Of a public
highway commissioner were among the
subjects discussed by the commissioners
and supervisors at their sessions today.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, p j. Kennedy of York. this
morning after an address of welcome by
Mayor HERE.
L. r. Barlow of Cheyenne county Wig
orously attacked the present assessment
system. He declared himself in favor of
a law making notes and mortgages uncol-
lectable unless stamped with the official
seal of the county assessor. The bulk OF
such property, he said, escaped taxation
entirely. He also denounced the present
bridge laws and the road supervisor sys-
TEN. His address started a lively dis
cussion and 1t seemed to be the opinion
OF all taking part that the present assess
ment laws are weak and more stringent
laws for uncovering taxable property
were needed Tax shirkers were roundly
scored.
T. l.. Matthews of Fremont favored en-
larging the duty of county boards by
abolishing county clerks, assessors and
treasurers and imposing their duties on
the supervisors or commissioners. He
also explained the new regional bank law.
r. r. Gurney also discussed the bank
law.
This afternoon the bridge question was
brought up. Mike Lavery of Boone
county spoke on the twenty-tOn bridge
law. 1t appeared from the discussion
that there will be some new laws on
bridges and roads will be introduced al
the coming session of the legislature and
some of them will be radical.
