A Busy Summer's Worki and Results Increase Over 1894. the The Figures Not so Large as pected, but Are Better Equalized.

Ei- ln the past few months there has been a vast amount of talk about the work of the assessors, and in recognition of the general sentiment in this important work the present common council made a radical charge in the entire system at its very first session on motion of Aid. Sebenthall. The old districts were cut up, and, instead of two. fourasssssors wereiappointed, the council going on the belief that four heaas were better than halfj.be number. The assessors worked as follows: J.

Aueron the wards on the North side. James Bpnell on the East side and H. Wilcox and M. Argard attending to the four wards west of the Chippewa river. When the assessors as a board met the chairman was President Farr, and its labors were pei haps the most thorough and complete of any board for member Ught to accom plish his full duty, and pushed on with a -singleness of purpose in spite of a great deal of comp aint and fault fled-ing.

Ooe of the assessors remarked to the IjEAdeh man that there were many things no doubt still a little ou vnu 'hnt. it. na not. hofjuwa t.i I did not make the cnort to straignten out things. Many peoole have imagined' thai be cause of Ex-Treasurer ureene's de falcation the assessments were arbitrarily raised.

Nothing could be further from the truth. With-no regard to other circumstances or conditions, it was the board's duty to make the assess ments on rroperty at what was deemed a fair market valuel no question cf charity, or of policy, is allowed by taw. and were such nsideration made the tax ley could be "bjsted by law," as Aid. Farr puts it, and "the entire tax roll rendered The Total of the several assessments have been computed by the city clerk and are bere given with the Qgurers foe 1804 to be used as comparison.

The First ward decreases $16,790, a great deal of this tionlm the factories. TheSecond ward forges ahead, passing the million dollar mark and showing1 the great gain of 187,835 over 1894.

The Third shows an increase of 37,745, which as it is all oil residence property is remarkable. The Fourth ward, after a trvine year in some respects falls down 7,950, and the Fifth ward $2,375, there being evidence of a lessening in value on-Water street business property, and a slight raising, on the best class of: residences. The Sixth ward realty shows the sturdy advance of $27,297, which, considering the times is' indeed a strong showjng. The Seventh vard remains about the same the increase being but' $915, and the Eighth ward, goes ud $44,525 in value of its real estate, another big climb. This is a net increaseof $171202.

II til Wednesday for the reason that the old gentleman himself drove the reaper aud he did not want to hurt his horses. if'J Miss Anna Downs 4 ir ad Wis8 Jjellie Uessilink. of Menomonie, have been visiting friends and relatives on Truax Prairie.

They liked the country atmosphere, and thought it even more bracing than the air of Menomonie. During the week they also stopped in Eau Claire. The harvest days are closing and this is one of the happiest neighborhoods in the county. On Wednesday evening a bas' et sociable was held at Mrs, John Connors and it was a Joe one, hough there -were more baskets- than there were boys to buy them. To help out Mr.

Connors bought two and then sat down between two young ladits and Proposed eating for a.week D. C. came to the city and brought out two young ladies but did not have the pleasure of eating with them. He did enjoy, however, the pleasant even ing prive. Some of the other young gentlemen present did not get the right basket, but all was in good pert.

Spelling school will be held hero to night (Saturday) and we reckon we have better spellers than you have in the Leader office. M. F. has left the Prairie, not for the better land, but for Claire. The last of the month will be celebrated by the ladies having a' harvest home sewing bee.

a million feet of logs. He had a splendid time at picnics. He met a lot of boys waiting for him on his return to go to work with him for Lee Hammond. He caught some big fishf saimon and trout, in the St. Johns.

He wished the Major could have been, with him. He says they wera pretty lively on the Fourth of Jbly and thought they would "bust" the drums, some of 'em. although Billy Burpee couldn't pound his worth a cent. Dave- was wishing J. R.

Campbell could have been on hand. It would have done him power of good, and he could have worn all the orange he could clap oo. Bis Mrs, Slrrpler, 119 Cochrane street, beat "em ail on sue flowers so far. The lady brought to the Leader office a sunflower measuring in diameter 121 and The reason why two diameters are given is because there fe a difference of about two inches bow trie table line ia held. If the line goes straight across it measures 12 inches, but if it is allowed to follow the hill or rather the rounded face of the flower, why, it makes two inches more 15f inches.

The flower was raised on the "Sbepler farm in LafaieUe. A fr A MM At about 8 o'clock Saturday morning Mrs. C. A. Bullen passed from this life at ber borne on Tird avenue, the mem bers of the family, at present in Eau Claire, being at her bedside.

Barron county; is rapidly cha ging from a lumber district to a dairy and agricultural section. Hundreds of fine grade Jersey cows are bf ing shipped ir there from southern Wisconsin and other points and creameries are starting up in many places ii the county. Prof. Henry says this i the finest grass-growing, and consequently one of th finest counties in Wisconsin, He says the floest' cheese. -in the world is made la Northern Wisconsin and Northern New York.

The reason is that the proverbially cool eights in th? region named keeps the temperature of the cows down so that no animal or veg etable taint fs reflected Into the. cheese, leaving it with that high, clean flavor obtainable under no other climatic con ditions. This statement from, so emi nent an authority as Pref. Heory, bas tiven the dairy business a great impetus in ths northern counties, but no where is it mnre than in Br ron county.

Among others who are interviewed are Judge Wm.

F. Bailey, T. F. Frawley and He n. C.

Larson. T. F. Frawley said: "Mr. Cleveland possesses many elements which would foake him a very strong candidate.

He is in accord with the Democratic principles of sound money. tariff reform and the conduct of the affairs of the government on business principles; he has convictions and the courage to 'express and enforce them; he enjoys the confidence of the business aod industrial masses, and is especially strong with bis own party; and that be would make a most excellent president in the event of election, goes without sayiiig. But I do not believe that Mr. Cleveland Is, in any sense of the.word.a candidate, nor do I believe that lie will be nominated at the next Democratic Najloaal convention. The policy of the Democratic party is against a third term, and the po.icy that has prevailed in this respect has become part of the unwritten law, binding both, parties and candidates.

It is conceded that Grant made a great mistake when he permitted his name to go before the Chicago convention aa a third term' candidate Without in any wise underesti mating Mr. Cleveland's worth a man and an officer, I do not believe that man lives whose placa cannot be filled. There are many men in the Democratic party who possess, to an eminent degree, the elements which wot Id make them eligible candidate 1 for the high tficd of president. The bountiful crops, activity in business and industrial pursuits, in a word, the return ot good times, presage Demo cratic Kuccess in the next national con test. r.

Cleveland, at the close of his present term, will be succeeded. 1 believe, by some' good Western Dem ocrat; and no one would be more worthy of the place than thesenior senator from Wisconsin. Hon. William. F.

Vilas." Hon. A. C. Larson said: "I am abso lutely, decidedly and irrevocably op posed to a third term for Cleveland or anyone else especially Cleveland. My main reason in regard to him being that he is for.

himself and not for the party." Hon. Wm. F. Ba'Iey said: "I am opposed to a third term for anybody and everybody. Butif any man "could deserve a third term, Cleveland would, that there might be an opportunity to recover irom the misfortunes of the panic.

Causes over, which he had no ntrol prevented a. test of his policy." button and Lyons Make a Note. In closing' the debate for the day Mr. Harvey, handed Mr. Horr.

as a souv enir a silver dollar of ,179. with, the word "unit" upon it. Harvey said: "Take it Mr. Horn Washington may have carried it in his pocket; Jefferson may atone time have had it in bis posses sion: it may bave paid for the paper cn which the declaration of war was written in 1813 against Great Britain. It may have been -fond led by Jackson when writing his message 5o congress against the national bank.

(Applause). It is a fit souvenir for any American proud of his country and of his institutions to carry in his pocket ail the days oLhis passed the collar to Mr. Then came shouts, cries, of "hurrah" and continued applause. Mr. Horr, smiling "I phall keep tl i-t dollar and put it to good use, I intend to have a hole i bored through it, and then I will hang it around the nck of my littte grand child, 'born jus; as we commenced thia discussion (Aj pla-use).

It will co brother Harvey good to learu that. the peeple of the United States are still, in spite of the gold staadard me rrying end giving in marriage, and that children are still borp us in spite of the silver dollar.

When this was aone it was found that the Lufams and Jordan cornstalks were exactly the 'same, tiamely, .12 feet 6 inches nach. Thev are the two longest stalks in yet, but we' expect they will be easily beaten. Funeral of Mm.
