CR0NE BROS.
RECOMMENDED TO PASS.
Senator French's Bill to Change the Libel
Law Fayorably Considered by the
Judiciary Committee.

The bill Of Senator French of this dis
trlct. which provides for an amendment
to the present libel law, has been recon-
mcnded to pass by the judiciary commit
tee. The bill repeals that provision of
the present law which makes it necessa-
~, when Il libel has been published in a
newspaper, for the aggrieved person TO
ask for retraction, and permits the pa
per to make retractlon within three
days after the notice has been served.
Under this provision, if the retraction is
properly made the element Of malice is
eliminated and action can only proceed
to determine actual damages. The
French bill removes this protection to
the newspaper and makes it impossible
for newspaper to make any amends for
a false accusation or to indicate by
willing retraction the absence of malice
IN an original publication.
In discussing the bill in the commit
tee of the whole, Senator Stevens moved
that the bill be indefinitely postponed
on the ground that its passage would
circumscribc the just liberty Of the
press.
Senator McIIale took the opposite
view. There was too much license a
mong newspapers, he said, and the mere
retraction of false and malicious state
ment would not rectify the damage done
by the copying Of the original article by
other papers. The care should be taken
in the first publication. ~.
Senator Greer alluded to the libel
published by the St. Paul Dispatch a
oaipst Hon. John Lind during the recent
campaign. Every fair-mlnded man on
the floor of the senate, he said, knew
that the publication was malicious and
llbelous, and yet the jury disagreed.
Senator Stevens called attention to

Queer kuSS
After All.
The Basso and his Brother Leave the City
Somewhat Unexpectedly.
Unpaid Board Bills Left Behind. Also
Hall Rental and Other Debts.
A Warrant Issued for the Younger Broth
er's Arrest.

Edward c.. Kuss, the basso, aud Geo.
Kuss, the music teacher, left the city,
unexpectedly to everybody else and un-
der rather peculiar circumstances, early
last Wednesday morning.
Prof. Geo. Kuss left, owing a board
bill at the Hotel Wien of something
like $40, and warrant was issued for
his arrest, Immediately upon learning of
his sudden and clandestine departure.
The elder Kuss paid his hotel bill,
but somehow neglected the hall rent
and printing expenses.
Geo. Kuss came here from Peoria, ILL.,,
early last November. He put up at Ho-
tel Wien, where he gave. music lessons
and gradually worked his way into the
confidence of friends and the proprietor
of the hotel.
Edward G. came here from Chicago a
week ago Wednesday and at once set
about to arrange for a concert. He is a
singer after the style of Max Heinrich
and is certainly an artist of exceptional
ability. Assisted by his brother and
other local talent, he gave the concert
at Turner Hall on Tuesday evening. He
managed to secure all of the receipts,
amounting to nearly $50, and promised
to pay for the rental of the hall the fol-
lowing morning. He complained bit
terly when the ticket-seller wanted to
retain the $6.75 that had been taken in
at the door.
Upon retiring at the hotel, George
left instructions with the proprietor moi
to wake him in the morning, as he de.
sired to sleep. Edward was apparently
the only one who arose before train time
and stated that his brother was still ir
bed. After breakfastlng, he started fo1
the depot, where he was joined by his
brother, with grip and instruments il
hand. Edward bought ticket for Chi
cago, but George purchased none at all
Thus they bid adieu to friends and &C.
quaintances.
It was learned later that George pur.
chased a ticket on the train that carried
him as far as La Crosse. A letter was
received from that point on Thursday
saying that his brother would settle fol
the hall and printing expenses from Chi
cago.
The warrant for Georges arrest is in
the hands of the sheriff, but, as the young
man is now beyond the borders of the
state, the authorities do not consider il
worth the while to pursue him.
Just what prompted the two young
men to such a rash proceeding is mys.
terry. Strengthened circumstances alone
affords an explanation, and even from
that standpoint it was ill-considered, tc
say the least.

propriated the sum Of 5000 to aid the
Brown Co. Agricultural Society in hol-
ding Fair IN this city during the COM

Whereas certain individuals and GER
tain newspaper have seen fit to criticize
the action of said council for making
said appropriation, and
Whereas, we deem the action of said

the best interests of the city, county and
the general public;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
we, the Commercial Union of the CITY of

hereby endorse and approve the action

ricultural Society.
