Locomotive Runs Wild.

Last Wednesday evening while
Leslie Jones. young man employed
as an engine wiper, was backing an
engine from the roundhouse, he lost
control of the locomotive and in his
excitement jumped off and gave it a
clearance for Necedah. There was not
much steam up and after running
wild for about six miles it died and
came to stsndstilI. Another engine
which was sent on the chase brought
the runaway bsek. Luckily no train
was coming from the opposite direction
or something terrible might have hap
pened.-New Lisbon Times.

THE HIGH TAXES,
CAUSE AND REMEDY

Under this heading I will give my
opinion for the benefit of the farners
! and public in general. There are
many different opinions on this sub
ject; each one may have some good
points that are worth considering.
The State Aid Road law should be
repealed. This law was engineered
through the legislature by people who
wanted to drive from one end of the
state to the other at the rate of twenty
five miles or more per hour. Farmers
were made to believe that by vot-
Ing certain amount of town tax
the county and state would double
it. which would appear as almost q
gift, not realizing that they were q
part, and very important part, of
the county and state. When the
county commissioner was first ap-
pointed he and the town board got
along quite smoothly, but when the
state highway commissioned stepped
in and told the town board to get
out of the road, he twas running this
business, the people commenced tc
realize the results. Unjds tax, as /
understand it. Ths city of Baraboo
pays something like one eleventh OF
the state and county road tax of
Sank county, being about $12, 800, and
receive nothing back; all other cities
under 5000 receive a benefit from
this bond. This is what is called
progressive legislation. There is
less than one tenth of the taxpayers
in the city who receive any direct
benefit from paving the country roads
much less for other smaller villages or
cities. Each town elects good, re-
lisb!e men on the town board and
they, with the county road commits
sioner should have full control of the
roads in their towns.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Secre-

Cavalry from Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, to
Fort Smith, Ark, for use In maintain
ing order in the Hartford Valley coal
mining strike district These troops
will be commanded by Major Nathaniel
f. Mcclure, who has had experience
with cavalry troops in the Colorado
mining fields. Secretary Garrison ex-
plaihed tho order us follows:
I'VE have reached the conclusion that
II is imprncticable to enforce the law
and the orders OF the United States
Court I'm Arkansas by any other means.
The court had appointed q receiver for
the coal mines, the mines had been
blown up, and the men who had been
arrested charged with the crime had
been released from the custody OF the
United States marshal forcibly by his
friends. The United States Court had
been unable TO enforce Its processes.
The troops will not undertake any
processes; they Will conflne themselves
to making II possible for the civil Of
flcers to perform their functions. They
viii prevent any obstruction In the
course OF Justice. Tho State has moth
ing to do with the case"
Major Mcclure was selected by Sec
rotary Garrison to command the troops
because OF the manner In which he dis
charged his very delicate duties In con
nect!on with the protracted mine
strike in Colorado.
1t was expected the troops would
leave Chicago Tonight, and be ut Fort
Smith before tomorrow night. About
ESQ men Will be In the command
