Treasury in Good Shape.

State Treasurer Henry johnson has
issued a statement in which it is
shown that the state treasury is in
good condition and that there is no
basis for charges to the contrary. This
statement is a comparison of the con-
dition Of the treasury for the present
year and that of 1915 at the same time
and is as follows
There has been so much said in
the last eight months about state
finances, so many insinuationS made
and statements given out to neWspa-
pers, that the question may well be
asked Is state government run hon
estly and on a business basis? First
it may be understood that the secre-
tary of state cannot and does not
draw any warrants on the treasurer
excepting same are authorized by law,
be the amount ever so small.
1T has been given out on several
occasions that the state is bankrupt,
at least when comparing finances with
last year. If a comparison must be
made as to the general fund on Octo-
Der /, 1916, and same date last year,
some legislative acts must be taken
into consideration. The statement fol-
lows:
General fund October 1, 1915, 3d.
372, 74340
General fund October 1, 1916
$527, 9345S.
"By a legislative act changing the
dates Of payment of railroad taxes
from February 10 to May l, and from
August 10 to November l, there was
due from railroads on October 1, ST.
$50, 1872. 43.
Terminal tax paid to cities where
terminals are located, 1898, 550.65.
First payment made from general
fund on Indebtedness to school fund,
100000
Appropriations made from general
fund, 100000.
Total, $3.50 S77.66."

Many to Take Dairy Course.

Already more than rs butter and
cheese makers have enrolled for the
twenty-seventh winter dairy course
at the University of Wisconsin. 1t
opens on Wednesday, November 8, and
will continue, as usual, for II weeks.
Courses in all branches of the dairy
ing industry are taught. The applica-
ton of milk tests for fat, casein, sedi-
ment and acids is impaired to stu
dents. The equipment of this school
is recognized as the best of all such
institutions in the United States.
During the period of existence OF
the winter dairy course more than g.
900 butter and cheese makers of this

Insurance Report.

The majority of fraternal benefit
societies of Wisconsin are not 100 pei
cent solvent, according to the report
of the insurance commission just is
sued for 1915.
While this is not an indication that
they are not on solid ground, the large
percentage lacking to send the assets
of the companies on hand for the pay
ment of death claims to par with the
total net value of outstanding certifi.
Gates, which is what the insurance in
force is worth at this time, is not
looked upon with any too much favor
by the insurance department.
1t is declared by officers of fraternal
benefit societies that the method OF
determining percentage of solvency by
the department of insurance is arbi
trary.

Much Shoe Leather Saved

The faculty of the University of Wis
consin will be thanked by the stu
dents parents, or whoever buys the
shoes of the students taking lessons
in economics. BY readjustment OF
classes, the professors have saved the
economics class as a whole just Loco
miles of walking a week.
When the university classes opened
a few weeks ago, no room was found
large enough in the economics depart
ment for the class OF 500 students, anC
they were forced to walk to the col
lege of agriculture, making an extra
distance OF 1000 miles per week. An
other change this week, however, has
enabled the class to assemble thai
much nearer to the dormitorfes.

Punishment Melted Out to Indian
Boys Certainly of the Most Siren

My grandmother had u children,

the art of worship. He used to lead
me to the sand banks of the Missouri
river, where he would set fire to pile
Of driftwoOd, and then, taking me by
the hand, sing sacred songs to the fire
and river. In the meantime he threw
into them offerings of tobacco, red
feathers, and sometimes oak twigs. l
never knew the meaning of these offer
ingS, but l always felt that some living
thing actuated both the fire and the
river. Another uncle came to visit us
periodically, and every time he came
my brother or | suffered at his hands.
Sometimes he would rush to the spring,
carrying me horizontally under his
arm, and would plunge my head into
the water until / almost suffOcated.
His common form of discipline was to
let me hang by my hands on the cross
poles of the wigwam until my arms
ached. My body writhed before l
dropped. This uncle seemed to like
best to command my older brother to
tie my hands and feet with rope.
Then he would order me to reSist-an
ordeal that would make us both cry.
In the winter he would also sometimes
roll us in snow naked. 1.-THE punish

the hands of some uncle rather than
the parents. Our puniShments were
inflicted generally because we had dis

 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 509o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware ana Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for a limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re. quirements of the Camp.
 If you have an order to be filled. let us figure on it; we can save you money. We have proved it oo others, we can prove it to you.

 There is a strong sentiment in business circles aganst the council men who insisted upon assessing the storekeepers at an approxima- tion of their personal property. Some of these angry men now are insinuating all kinds of things both as to what they will do and what they could do if they wished to do it. Some of these statements are quite serious even if they are not taken seriously.

Another marked feature of the meeting was the later abstinence of the Mayor from voting, and the occurrence at the previous meeting of his taking upon himself the right to leave the Chair and asking another to preside when he has by law no councilman rights of that nature, is said to have evoked the City Attorneys calling his attention to the duties of his po' sition as decided by the legislature Many complaints were heard as to real property being assessed at an excess value and all of these were reduced by the council one-third off. Muellers personal property was also reduced as will be Segerstrom ana Hagen's. the former being unable to
