The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1916-01-18

State Treasurer Henry Johnson sent
notices to ali the state depository
banks, calling attention to the fact
that the law fixing the time of pay
ment of taxes, both by counties and
corporations, was changed by the last
legislature SO that the funds of the
state in the banks will be distributed
more evenly through the year instead
Of being punched.
For instance, says Treasurer John
son, the railroad taxes, amounting to
about S2,500,000, which formerly were
paid on February Is and August Is,
two equal payments, now are payable
May l and November l. If county
treasurers take advantage OF the new
law, taxes which formerly were paid
into the state treasury on February l5
now will be due March 5.
IL consequence OF these changes in
the law, Mr.. Johnson says there will
not be the usual funds available for
February distribution to the deposit
tory banks.
The change in the law was made up
ON the recommendation of Treasurer
Johnson, who called attention of the
legislature to the fact that when the
Dulk OF the revenues of the state were
paid in at one time it was difficult for
the banks to find use for the money or
to give the bonds required

1915 Cheese Output Is $6,112,24o.

Although the average price for
American cheese on the Wisconsin
dairy boards reached II cents per
pound in December, the average for
the year was 14A cents PEI pound.
There was a falling off of ST., 474
pounds sold over the dairy board as
compared to 1914, the closing of the
Seymour and Mineral Point boards
for the year and that of the Muscoda
board in August being the principal
reason, although there was falling
off of nearly 100000 pounds on the
Plymouth board due to the Sheboygan
County, Cheese federation handling
the product for many of the factories
10 this county.
But at that the Two boards in She
boygan county, at Sheboygan and Ply
mouth handled practically three
fourths of the cheese sold over the
boards in the state in 1915. or total
of $685. 500 pounds.
The reports of the five dairy boards
in Wisconsin for 1915 show that 1877
415 boxes totaling S,2S7.734 pounds
were sold for S1,222 ,44S.14.
During the first half of the year
1915 the export demand for cheese
kept stocks pretty we'll cleaned up,
but that trade began to fall off about
the middle of the year.

FOUR SERIOUSLYHURT
CHICAGO BOUND PASSENGER
TELESCOPES CHAIR CAR.
Engineer Unable to See Danger Be-
cause of Steam Open Bridge
Delays First Train.

Milwaukee.-Four persons were seri-
ously injured and score of others
badly bruised and shaken when Chi
cago-bound Northwestern road passen-
ger locomotive ploughed halfway
through parlor car on a Madison
bound passenger train at the Allis sta
ton, foot of National avenue
The more seriously injured are:
r. H. Norris, Milwaukee, right leg
fractured and injured about head and
body.
H. c. Prange, Sheboygan, wrist Ia
cerated and injured about body.
E. R. Bowler, Sheboygan, hands cut.
E. R. Doring, Darlington, body crush
ed; condition not serious.
The Madison train, delayed by the
opening of the bridge spanning the
Milwaukee river, arrived at the Allis
station a few minutes late AS it was
about to pull out, the Chicago train
Frisch, either blinded by steam or mis-
judging the distance, failed to apply
the brakes in time. The locomotive
crashed into the rear coach in which
about twenty-five passengers were rid
ing. The coach caught fire.
Two passengers were found uncon-
scious as the wreckage was cleared
away. One man fell from his crushed
car chair. Another man, bleeding from
cuts on his face and hands, started to
walk away but collapsed and was car
ried to waiting ambulance
The more seriously injured were re-
moved to the Milwaukee and Emer-
gency hospitals.
The opening of the bridge which de-
layed the Madison train and the cold
weather were responsible for the acct
dent, according to E. E. Nash, assis-
tant superintendent of the North
western.
The fire department had little
trouble in controlling the flames that
followed the crash.
Among the less seriously injured
were:
Mrs. w M. Truewell, ST. Francis; T.
J. Rickert, Milwaukee,; S. A. Oscar,
Madison; G. T. Newton, GAINESVILLE; H.
A. Miller, Milwaukee; J. E. McCabe,
Reedsburg; Rudy B. Kinney, Lime

Big Infant Death Rate.


Due to incomplete reporting OF
births or to existence of so-called
baby FARMS, or to combina-
ton of both, several counties of the
state show an abnormally high death
rate among infants, according to ia
bles for 1914 compiled by the bureau
of vital statistics. In the counties OF
Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Ashland,
Sheboygan, Chippewa, Oneida, Iowa
and Kewaunee the death rate for in
fants per 1000 births was more than
100 for the year named.
Whatever injustice may appear
against these counties by the high
death rates attributed to them is blam-
able in large measure, it is believed,
to the fact that the death rate was
computed upon a basis afforded by
complete death statistics and incom-
plete birth records. The figures must
} certified to the census bureau as
correct for those counties
The counties showing the lowest in
FAINT mortality are Florence, with a
rate of 1872, and Door and Burnett
Each is a sparsely settled unit. Coun-
ties having cities of Importance natur-
ally show higher rates of mortality.
Counties containing cities of over
5000 population and their birth and
death rates follow, the first column
showing the birth rate per thousand
and the second showing the death
