Fight on Railroad Mileage.
our stock before you buy elsewhere

MADISON, Feb. Ex-senator Voss' bill
compelling railroad companies to sell
thousand mile books at the rate of 500
was taken up this afternoon by the
senate committee on railroads and ar
gument beard on both sides of the
question. Samuel Kussel, of Water
town, made speech in favor of the
bill, on behalf of the travelling men. j.
NJ. Morrow and w. A. Walker, the Of
fetal lobbyists respectively of the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul companies, op-
posed the measure on the ground that
it would practically establish a 2-cent
fare in the state. The bill provides
that mileage shall be valid for two
years, at the expiration Of which time
the companies must redeem the unused
portion, but charging instead of 2
cents for the portion used. AS Senator
Voss is member of the railroad COM
mittee he will probably report in favor
of his bill, in which case there are
likely to be two reports.

emplt Vment of male teachers in coun-
try districts, and in this statement did
not desire to cast any reflection upon
the merits of female teachers, whom
he saId were we'll enough in their place,
but in his.judgnent better results could
be obtained from male teachers in
country schools. The professors ad-
dress was followed with vocal music by
the Apollo QUartette club, composed
of Edward Schempf first tenor; VIM.
Sproesser, second tenor; Oscar Never,
baritone, and Charles Feisst, basso.

core was demanded. At the same
