CHIEF JUSTICE RYAN in decision de-
nying the application of Miss Goodell, OF
GAINESVILLE, for permission to practice IN
that court, holds that there is no Wiscon-

contrary construction of the statute
would break down all distinctions of sex
in the State Government, and, besides
admitting the fair sex to nearly all pub
lie offices, would subject woman to yari
GUS fearful liabilities which now apper-
tain exclusively to the tyrant man.

cago man named G. r. Finch by party
of Madison boys last night. It seems
that Mr.. Finch advertised in Chicago
paper for wife. One of our Madison
boys answered the letter, and love-letters
followed with interchange of photo
graphs. The meeting of the pair took
place near the Postofice last night, oneof
our smooth faced boys being rugged out
in female apparel for the occasion. An
imaginary indignant uncle pounced on
the pair with a policeman they were
taken to the Court House, which was
densely packed, and mock trial came
off, prominent attorneys and Legislators
taking part. The denouement of the
trial was rich beyond description, the
Chicago gentleman leaving on the mid
night train with curses loud and deep at
Madison's jokers, but acknowledging it
q big SELL"
