Now, for the proceedings of the day.
It was early when the senators and as
semblymen began to gather in the cor
ridors of the capitol, and all felt that
the proceedings of the next few hours
were to decide whether this legislature
was really to reapportion Wisconsin.
The assembly was the first called to
order and it's adjournment was hasty
in order to give the assemblymen a
chance to attend the proceedings in the
senate, where the final battle was to be
fought. Shortly after 10 o'clock the
gavel fell there, and Lieut.. Gov.
Baensch announced that again the
senate was ready for business. When
the time came for the introduction OF
new bills Senator Austin arose and Of
tered a measure which he said was
unconstitutional and which he declared
he considered it the best bill yet Of
fered to the legislature. 1t was the
work, he said, of the members of the
senate Judiciary committee and had
been prepared with the utmost care.
He also said that nearer a population
unit had been gained than in any pre-
vious measure which had yet been pre-
scented in either house. The bill was
referred to the legislative conference
: committee and a recess was taken OF
fifteen minutes in order to give the
senators and assem- blymen a chance to
have more final talk before what was
then feared was to be a struggle on
the floor of the house commenced.
After reconvening, the assembly
went through the formality Of amend
ing the assembly bill so as to conform
with the senate bill as it stood upon
it's third reading, after the amend
ments of Wednesday, and then the
question CT concurrence was consid-
cred. Senator Kruszka again thrust
his plan upon the senate by offering
an amendment changing the seventh
and eighth districts in Milwaukee
county along the lines which he haC
previously agitated. 1t was rejected
and then another flibustering move
was made in the demand on the part
of Mr.. Kruszka for a call Of the house
This was raised fifteen minutes later
at Mr. Kruszka's request, and ther
there was a little sparring before the
! final vote Senators Kruszka and

Made an Improbable Raid on OIstad &
Knudtson Tuesday Night.
When j. Fl. Tousley opened Olstad
& Knndtson's general store yesterday
morning he found the stock of over
shoes and rubbers carried by the firm
scattered over the floor, giving mute
testimony of a visit paid by burglars.
He stepped to the desk and found the
money drawer had been torn from its
usual place and carried off aad an in
spection of the stock showed that a
large quantity of tobacco had been
taken. The burglars effected an en-
trance by smashing in a window in the
rear of the basement and entered the
store through the trap door in the
back of the room. Just what was taken
is not known but the tobacco and some
of the overshoes are missing while
nothing else in the stock seemed to
have been disturbed. The cash drawer
contained only three cents so the rob-
bers got no cash. The drawer was
found in one of the outbuildings behind
the block, showing traces of unskilled
work. No clue has been obtained yet
but it is thought to be the work Of
boys.
