in Milwaukee, on last Friday morning,
May 81. He had been III for several
months and was compelled to leave
his seat In the Legislature; the cause
being an abcess in the head. About
week previous to his death he went
went from his home In Shullsburg
to hospital In Milwaukee, where
an operation was performed. At first
it was thought he would survive. but
sudden change came, and he died, as
above stated on Friday morning. He
was one Of Shullsburg's most promi-
nent citizens, and was twice elected to
the legislature. He had been chair
man of the town board many times,
and mayor of his city. His funeral
took place on Sunday, and a special
train was run over the Mineral Point
division of the c. M. & st. p. R'y, to

At the recent meeting of the board
Of trustees of the Episcopal theolog-
ical school In this state, Bishop
Nicholson spoke of the very great
ability Senator Spensley displayed as
the chairman of the Judiciary com
mitteo at Madison, last winter. The
immediate cause of this commenda-
ton was the part that Senator
Spensley took in defeating n canal and
drainage bill which would have sacri-
feed the beautiful homes, and small
farms and the mills around Nashotah.
This bill was practically in the inter
est of Oconnomowoc lakes, which are
lower than those of Nashotah, and
along which are situated the summer
cottages of Chicago milllonaires; and
so the effect of the bill would be the
drainage of the Nashotah lakes.

ney that the company would pay all of its

The showing made by investigation is
so startling that fears are expressed that
not only will the policy holders suffer,
but that n number of companies doing
business in this state are in similar
condition. Insurance Commissioner
Fricke is convinced that many companies
do not comply with the law in regard to
making loans. The law requires that
loans be made on mortgages on the basis
of not over SO per cent of the ya~slo of the
real estate on which the iuUVgagc is
placed. Mr.. Frickc has instituted n sys.
tematic investigation of all companies of
which there is the least suspicion.
