Assemblynan Wipperman.

Wood county has everv reason to be
proud of her representative. He don't
bluster around and make much noise
but he is saving wood all the time in
the interests of the State and his con-
stituents. He has been, and is faithful,
to- every promise he made the people of
Wood county, during the canvas for his
party tickets election. sWe have
watched his record upon all measures
and find that he is always on the side of
right and in the interests of the people,
He is 4 member of the Judiciary COM
mittee, the most important one in the
assembly, where his excellent judg-
ment is manifest in the discharge of
their public duties. Recently he has
been termed the Gear" of the assem-
bly, on account of his rulings while in
the chair. The evening Wisconsin
commented upon his rulings, as follows:
Mr.. Overbeck's bill repeating the
present steamboat taxation laws was
rushed to engrossment on toboggan
slide in the Assembly one morning,
1t was expected that the measure
would be the occasion of redhot fight,
but Mr.. Wipperman was i'll the chair
and he handled it in way that would
have done credit to the famous speaker
Of the House of Representatives and
the opponents of the bill had time to
realize where they were at the bill had
been ordered 10 engrossment.
1t was the only thing that saved this
mornings session from being entirely
uninteresting, nothing else of an excit-
ing nature having occurred in either
house. The bill was on the calendar
for engrOssment with two reports be-
hind it, a majority report in its favor
and minority report against it.
Mr.. Polacheck endeavord to have the
minority report substituted for the ma
jority report, but was ruled out of order.
There was an amendment to wipe out
all the tonnage laws and Mr.. Wiper
man put the question on the amend
ment without delay, which was adopted.
The question of engrossment was then
put in the same manner and carried.
There was no time for division or any
thing else, and in five minutes the
matter was settled.

the huge guns run out from the power
ING out from gun decks below 1t was
an impressive sight, and all on board
evidently thought so. From the enthu-
siasm and great desire manifest by citi-
zens as we'll as strangers to visit the
boat we concluded that war vessel is
almost as rare sight in these waters
as it is to those who live away from the
coast, and we were a bit surprised to
have our captain tell us, that though he
had sailed the seas in all parts of the
world, he had never before seen a battle
ship. The weight of machinery on the
Texas is about 100000 pounds. This
includes TWENTY-FIVE miles of piping
and 750 valves. Her armament con
ssts Of main battery of two Pinch
and six 6-inch breech-loading rifles, and
a secondary battery of twelve 6-pounder
and six 1-pounder rapid fire guns, four
37-millimeter Hotchkiss revolving eau
mons and two Gatlings. Her crew con-
ssts of so officers and $50 men. The
thickness of her armor is twelve inches.
Before the excursion boat returned
to her wharf the United States quaran-
tine station, fort site and other points
were passed which space will not
permit to detail.
In the evening an enjoyable musical
concert was given at the Grand Opera
House in honor of the National Editor
ial Association and the Officers of the
Battleship Texas. The gem numbers
Of the program for us were the songs by
Galveston's Quartette Society consisting
of 81 male voices, the chorus by the
selections by the Quartette Society's
Orchestra with % violins and bass yiol.
The concert was one of the rarest treats
of our trip and all voices blended with
a harmony and ensemble work that
would be hard to improve upon. These
organizations claim justly to be ''the
finest in the SOUTH"
Would like to tell of an afternoon
plCulC dG w OOlld Hl Lake, Wu6G6 we
were treated to a unique down-south
oyster roast, and where freshest big
bivalves, right from the Gulf, were
served in abundance and almost every
style. Of the evening party at Garten
verein, an open air summer garden,
beautiful indeed. Winding promenades
midst palms and charming tropical
foliage; pretty dance pavilion, gay
colored lights and running fountains,
sweetest music; bowling alleys-in fact
the regular resort for rich folks, about
which the poor printer sailed like a
bubble in an ocean Of glory. Lemonade,
cigars, etc., catered without price from
a fount that never run dry. This was
life, and those people had more pleas
ures booked for four day stay than we
could write about in month. Right
now we must close. A great many
readers have expressed their anxious
ness for descri ption of the bull fight
in City Of Mexico. We ask your
patience one more week and will try to
get to that in our next issue. LAVIGNE.
