Votes Against Hanson Bill.

At the recent hearing on the
Hanson measure, industry and re-
tail business showed that abolishing
OF the personal property offset would
cripple business in Wisconsin al
time when restoration of confidence
was never more important to the gen
eral welfare of the state. The recon-
mendatiOn of the taxation committee
indicates that arguments advanced by
business men from Milwaukee and
elsewhere made deep impression on
the Legislature. Economy fairly
romped through the assembly on
Tuesday. Nothing could have been
more expressive of legislative response
to the public demand for retrenchment
than the decisive man. er On which the
house killed bills increasing appropri-
ations for farm organizations. 1t was
conceded on all sides that these votes
reflected the temper of the assembly
against boosted budgets, no matter
from what source requests for more
money may come. The amount of
money involved in the bills sent to the
legislative graveyard was insignificant,
as appropriations go, little more than
$1,000, in fact, but the attitude of the
house was considered highly signifi-
cant of what appears to be a general
understanding not to allow increased
appropriations. Should this rule hold
good as the session goes on, some of
the more important financial meas
ures, including those providing funds
for the University of Wisconsin, nor
NAL schools and other state institu-
tions, may be slashed to the amounts
allowed two years ago.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tcnsiyely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
no other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulhlls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

My most embarrassing moment oc-
Cured when the high cost of living
first started and l was still high

of shoes badly and was to meet my
mother after school. As luck would
have it the "old hen" that lived next
door was going downtown also, and
so she came with mother. finally
found a pair / wanted, which were
$40.
They thought this was outrageous,
and told the clerk and the whole store
about it, just as two members of the.

Heads MIIwaukee Detectives.

A grand jury investigation or
the Milwaukee detective bureau
and q shakeup and reorganization
of the detective force of the police
department doomed up at the close OF
the sensational battle between John L.
Sullivan, former captain of detectives.
and Mayor Daniel w. Hoan, in which
the mayor forced Sullivan to submit
second resignation and to leave his Of
fee. AT the same time 1t became
known that the Sullivan control of the
detective bureau ceased to exist when
Detective Harry McCrory, who had
been relegate6 20 an obscure position
five years ago by Sullivan, was named
acting captain of detectives. Mr.. Nc
Crory will take over the captains Of
flee. Sullivan's resignation and Cap
tain McCrory's temporary appoint
ment We're the climaxes in day re-
plete with sensations. Late in the day
1t became apparent that only one part
OF the lid had been pried off and that
developments which may transpire
within the next few days may involve
other members of the detective fo-ce,
some Of whom may come under the
surveillance of federal grand jury
for their alleged participation in the
illicit liquor traffic. Other designations
are expected, 1t was said in official cir
Giles. Some of these are expected as
the result of the departure of Sullivan,
while others are expected from some
members of the department who are
certain that they are under the surveil-
lance of the mayor and the members
OF the fire and police commission.

Cows Highly PRICED.

The cows of Periguex, France, which
serve not only as milk giyers, but as
draft animals, are highly priced by
their peasant owners. and nothing that
can add to the comfort of the valu-
able animals is neglected. They are
protected from the annoyance of
swarms of flies which infest that part
of France by quaint hand-crocheted
wells which cover the entire head and
hang down almost to the ground. The
wells themselves are works of art, with
long silky fringes of varying hues, or
borders of crocheted lace. In schools
which are aided by the Junior Red
Cross of America, French children are
taught to crochet, and so can make
these useful wells.

Supreme Court Decisions.

The need of a new judge on the
Supreme Court of Wisconsin was
shown at Madison, in two cases de-
cided by that. tribunal. In both the
court divided, 3 to 3. The number of
judges of the court is seven. but a
vacancy was created by the death of
the late Justice ]. G. Kerwin. The
first case in which the court divided
was that of the South Side Malleable
Casting company against the Four
Wheel Drive company, involving about
$4,000 The lower court decided in
favor of the casting company and by
a divided court that decision was af-
firmed. The second case is that of
NJ. III. Kahn against Sally Delaney.
Madison involving the collection of
about $500 for defective fur coat
The lower court held that Miss De-
laney did not have to pay. BY di-
vided court the judgment was af-
firmed. The John Weeks Lumber
company case which has been before
the court several times during the last
ten years was finally decided on.
This was an action in which Barney
Pelebitski, Stevens Point. sought to
recover damages caused by logs
which had fioated upon his property.
The lower. court held that damages
could not be collected, and this de
cision was upheld.
