A RusHEL OF BILLS.
Badger Solons Get in Their Work
Before 1t Is Too Late.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 19.-TO-mOrrOw
is the final day set for the introduction
of new business in the legislature, and
as result to-day's grist was the largest
of the session. Bills were introduced
amending the libel laws IN the interest
of the newspapers; providing that all
banks shall report their condition to the
state treasurer semi-annually; prOvid-
ing for town and village option OH the
ing of game birds with dogs for period
of two years; prohibiting the killing of
more than three deer by single
person in one season; authorizing
the city of Chippewa Falls to issue
bonds; forbidding the killing OF birds
for millinery purposes; making
all kinds of employers liable for
injuries to employees; aprrOpriating
$4,000 per annum for the state grange,
to be expended for educational pur-
poses; apprOpriating $4,000 for the es-
tablishment of a school of mines at
Hurley: establishing state printing
office; furnishing the enticlng OF chaste
females into life of shame by impris-
Onment for one year. Probably ABOUT
as unique bill as has been introduced
during the session is one to abolish rail-
road passenger conductors, and provid-
ing for contribution boxes into which
passengers can drop money, according
to the dictates of their own conscience.
A resolution was introduced in the as
sembly to amend the constitution so as
to make sheriffs eligible for reelection.

a perfect parody on legislation. 1t was
called for the consideration of business
reported from the committee OH mill
tary affairs. The first bill called up
was one appropriating 100000 for the
erection of monument at Fort Greene,
Brooklyn, to the memory of the victims
of the prison ships. Mr.. kilgore, OF
Texas. raised the point of no quorum
agcinst this measure and it was with
drawn. But although the bone of con-
tention was thus removed, the conten-
ton still remained. and Felix Camp
bell, OF New York, irritated at the de-
feat by one man of measure in which
he was specially interested, determined
that no measure called up should re-
ceive favorable consideration. Conse-
quently Mr.. Campbell raised the point
Of TO quorum against it. and it was
withdrawn. Appeals and entreaties
were of no avil; Mr.. Campbell was ull-
relenting, and would permit no legisla-
ton to be enacted. The parody con-
tinued until 10 O'Clock. when the session
expired by Limitation.

Treasurer of Kidder County. This is the
most interesting case OF the term. Four
years ago the legislature divided Kid
der county and created the county Of
Stanton, dependent, however, upon the
affirmative vote of the people In
segregated portion. This vote was not
secured and the new county not organ
lied. This suit was originally brought
to restrain the treasurer of Kidder
county from collecting taxes in the pro-
posed new county. The district court
refused to so restrain, and that decision
is now affirmed and Stanton county is
wiped out for good. There is also a
romance connected with the case. A
year OF two since man named Wolf
killed a woman in the Embryonic
county. He was tried in Kiddder, con-
victed ana is now serving out a life
sentence in the pen. A new trial de-
pended upon the decision of this case as
to the jurisdiction of the court, the UNI
organized county not being attached to
Midder c,unty for judicial purposes.

DULUTH & WINNIPEG.
The Row in Camp Promised Over
a Land Grant.

The committee on public lands will
meet this afternoon to hear further
argument on the bill to forfeit the
swamp land grant of the Duluth Sc
Winnipeg railroad. The committees
report will be submitted after this
meeting. and will be of interest to the
country members, Il majority of whom
are opposed to the retention OF the
grant bv the Duluth IL Winnipeg, and
who favor it's forfeiture to the school
fund of the state. Chairman
Crossfield, of the public lands commits
tee, a week ago was in favor OF the for
feiture of the land grant, but yesterday
had changed his opinion. and, it is said,
will now advocate the indefinite post
pOnement of the bill. The committee
has taken the bill into full considera-
ton in connection with the state school
fund, which State Auditor Braden has
said would be greatly benefited by the
addition of these lands to it. Whether
the bill is indefinitely postponed
by the committee or not, the
real fight, as outlined by the GLOBE q
week ago, is to be in the house. The
farmer members, as canvassedy by the
GLOBE, are in favor of forfeltIng the
grant to the school fund, owing to the
fact that the time limit placed by the
act of 1878 was never complied with by
the road. The attorneys consulted by
the committee all agree that the pass
age by this legislature of the act of for
feiture will take these lands
from the company and revert
them to the school fund. which
at the best needs from S2,000,0OO to
5000, COO more to make it a certainly
permanent fund. The conference held
at the Merchants yesterday Qast even
ing) revealed fifty-seven members In
favor of the act of forfeiture and OF the
reversiOn of the land to the state. The
battle will be one between the farmers
and corporations, and for that reason OF
great interest to the state at large.
