The following is the decision of the
Supreme Court of this State on the
Biennial Session Amendments it the
case of
The State of wisoenfn ex rel.
Thomas R. Hub VS., Ernst G.
Timme, Secretary of State of the
State of Wisconsin.
The various propositions mentioned
in chapter 262, laws of 1881, eonsti-
tute really but one amendment within
the meaning of art. XII, sec. /. OF
the constitution, aud could be submit
ted as they were as one amendment
These propositions all relate to the
same subject matter, namely: biennial
sessions of the legislature; they are
not independent propositions. but are
necessarily and naturally connected to-
gether forming one amendment. The
salary provision was not intended to
and does not take effect until a bein-
NAL legislature is chosen, therefore it
does not apply to the relator
The provisions of the constitution
sought to be amended remain in full
force and effect until superseded re-
spsotively by the new provisions. and
the present legislature is held under
and is governed by the constitution as
it was before the amendment wax
adopted, except that the amendment
has so far taken effect as to impose
upon the present Legislature the duty
of fixing by law the time the biennial
legislature shall meet.
Motion to quash alternative writ
granted.

Shot and Killed.

The report of the killing of Jim
Hovlet, at Merrill, on Monday last,
who is we'll known in these parts.
reached this city Tuesday morning.
The facts as we have learned them
from parties who were there are as fol-
lows: On Monday night James How
let was informed by John Humphrey
that Chas. LIE Claire had said he
could whip Howlet and that he had
made bet with Humphrey to that
effect. During the day Howlet drank
quite freely and in the evening walked
over to LIE Claire's bagGio, in company
with Humphrey and McQuillian, at
which place the row occurred. After
being in the bar-room a short time
Howlet accused LIE Claire of telling
around that he could whip him and
that he, LeClaire, had made Howlet
stake water" LIE Claire said that he
could whip him but that he did not
desire to fight him then as he, Howlet,
was too drunk, in reply to which How
let said he was not too drunk to whip
LIE Claire, whereupon LIE Claire struck
him a powerful blow between the eyes
and followed it up while Howlet, ward
ing off the blows, began isrobing and
the blow having sobered him some
what, he overpowered LIE Claire and
foored him and was pounding him
when LIE Claire cried enough" but as
Howlet had received some pretty hard
raps, and had not inflicted any of
effect till about this time he did not
heed the cry but continued striking
him. At this stage of the game Mrs.
LeClaire, the red headed woman who
is Familiarity known here as Jenny
who wore "bangs." jumped up on the
counter and attempted to fire a pistol
at Howlct but was interfered with by
Humphrey, when he in turn was
knocked down with a bottle in the
hands of fancy man of the house,
and the red headed woman then ran
around the counter and placing her
pistol just back of Howlet's ear, fired
it of, killing him instantly. The ball
was the same size Guiteau used to kill
President Garfield with, forty, four cal
ibre Word was Immediately dis
patched to Howlet's brother, Paddy,
in this city, who went to Merrill Tues
day morning and took the remains of
his brother to Portage city where they
make it their home. The woman was
taken in charge and at present lies in
jail. There had been some bad feeling
existing between the two men for sew
eral years back, the original cause of
this present row besides both men con-
sidering themselves the better man of
the two.

 "You know how ambitious he is in school. and what a little gentleman, always"
 Yes, m. That's so. We know" Only two unsympathetic faces now; but one of them. that of a sulky boy in the corner, looked as if its owner were men, tally saving: "Can't think what yon'rc driving at, but I'll never give in never"
 You all know how brave he was when Joe Willis dropped his new knife between the boards of that unfinished building on Corliss street. How he did what no other boy in school would do let himself down into the cellar, and groped about in the dark until he found it for him.
 "We know that-yes, m. Hurrah
 "Stop minute. One thing more Sulky-boy's companion was shout ing with the rest, and Sulky-boy's own face had relaxed.
 "You all know" said I, "how he took care of Willie Randall when Willie hurt himself npon the ice. How he drew him home upon his own sled, go- ing'very slowly aud carefully that poor Willie might not be jolted, and making himself late to school in consequence"
 "Yes, m. Yes, ma'am. Hoo-ray for little Dunbar 1" Sulky-boy was smil- ing now, and 1 knew that my cause was won.
 "Very well," said I. "Now, let us talk about to-day. He has disopeyed me, and-of course ought to punish | him."
 "No, m. you oughtn't. Don't pun ish him! We don't want him whipped !"
 But I have given my word. It will be treating you all unfairly If I break it. He has been such a faithful boy that I should like very much to forgive him, but I cannot do it unless you are all will ng."
 We'll forgive him. We'll -"
 "Stop! i want you to think of it carefully for a minute. I am going to leave the matter altogether with ycu. I shall do just as you say. Ii, at the end of one minute by the clock, you are sure you forgive him, raise your hands,"
 My dear, you should have seen them If ever there was expression ill human hands, saw it in theirs that day. Such shaking and snapring of fingers, and an eager waving of small palms-break- ing out at last into a hearty, simultane- ous clapplng. and Sulky-boy's the most demonstrative of al

 As for me, turned to the black board, and put down some examples in long division. If had made all the divisors larger than the dividends, or written the numerals upside down, it would not have been at all strange, .in l the circumstances.
