far failed.

All Dead-Statute Revision.

All Dead-Statute Revision.
Madison, Wis, Aug. 20-The surprise
of the session was the passage of the
bakery bill over Governor Scofield's
veto. inasumch as the vetoes of all the
important measures were sustained and
this was the most unimportant bill in
the lot. 1t seems certain now that the
Milwaukee garbage bill will pass. The
appointments of DR.. H. P. Klute, Of
Marinette, as state veterinarian and
General f. +. Bryant. of Madison. and
William Starr, of Eau Claire, as men,
bers Of the state fish commission were
sent to the senate by Governor SEQ
field. The senate refused to concur in the
action of the assembly passing the ex-
press company and Pullman car tax
alton bills over thesgovernor's veto and
those bills are therefore killed.
In the senate last evening, the as
sembly having concurred in the senate
resolution for suspension Of the rules.
the revision of the statutes as amended
| was passed by a unanimous vote. The
| most important amendment declares
| hydrant pipes. meters, wires, transmit
/ tiers and other appurtenances used for
| water works, electric light plants and
street car plants, as well as their fran
| chises, personal property to be taxed In

DEPUTIES STOP THE MARCHERs
Latest Strike Tactics Not Successful-One
DE Armit Under Arrest.

De Armit Under Arrest.
Pittsburg, Aug. 20.-At Plum Creek
and Turtle Creek, the camping strikers
marched again yesterday per programme,
ip couples loo feet apart. The deputies
formed a line across the road and
warned them back as fast as each pair
came up. Each side wanted the others
to take the aggressive, but both were
wary and neither advanced beyond a
certain point. The strikers then re-
turned to camp, but a few of them
later managed to escape the deputies
and got among some of the miners in
the company houses, doing considera-
BILE missionary work. It was decided to
march again today, but it is doubtful
II they will have any better success
than they had yesterday. The deputies
have been gradually closing in on the
camps, and will continue to do so, it is
said, until the men will not be allowed
to leave the camp. This would virtual
ly place them under arrest. The wom-
en- are doing good missionary work, al
| though they did not march as
anticipated. They are still maxi
ing 1t as uncomfortable for the
working miners and deputies as they
know how. II the attempt to pass the
deputies Is successful today the women
will Join the ranks tomorrow.

not be served because De Armit was un.
der the protection of the shertff's Cepu.

The argument in favor of the pro-
pcsed change is that the bulk system
will never prove satisfactory to tho
people who live in cities of the size in
dicated. A different class of people
have to be dealt with. The change it
is thought will settle all issues over the
dispensary satisfactorily.
This is the view those who talk of
pushing the measure take of the mat
ter.
But others who have stood to the
dispensary system are now in favor of
doing away with it altogether. taking
up the license system for the whole
State, somewhat upon the plan pro-
posed by Senator Mayfield.

STATE TAN ON COMMERCE..
Cotton Seed Meal Imported Into the
State Without Tags, Seized.

There are other things that the State
seiZes besides liquor. 1t has just seized
several car loads of cotton seed meal.
1t appears that n New York firm, so the
record goes, shipped Il car load Of cot
ton seed meal to Bennettsville. 1t APP
pears somewhat strange that New
York firm should shil cotton seed meal
to South Carolina, but such seems to be
the allegation. When the meal got to
Bcnnettsville Inspector Grassland found
that it was not tagged, and under the
law requiring II tag on such meal,
seized it. The facts were reported to
Governor Ellerbe and he directed the
assistant Attorney General to institute
Immediate proceedings against the par
ties shipping the meal into the State
without proper tags. Under the law
the State can recover from the shippers
to the amount Of the meal, which is
said to be about SlS. 80 per ton. The
lot is said to be 80 tons, which, it will
be seen, is quite II considerable prize,
even If the cotton seed meal itself
should he confiscated to the State. Mr..
Townsend will get all of the facts and
bring action at once.
The understanding is that the State
does not charge Twenty-Five cents II ton
privilege tax on cotton seed meal when
it Is used for feeding purposes, but
when the meal is used for fertiliZing
purposes the charge is made and i'll case
of non payment seizure Is made
The matter may result III an inter
esting legal fight on the Interstate
Commerce Acts the same rs the dis
pensary law.
The statement was made during the
last session Of the General Assembly
that great deal of fertilizers sold in
this state escaped the payment of the
privilege tax, and that in other cases
the tags were taken OFT of the sacks of
fertilizers and returned to the broker
in Charlestown for credit, and were re-
fused, or the party receiving the fer
tiliZer notified the broker that he
would pay the tax on the next ship
ment. Mr.. Connor sought to remedy
this trouble, but his bill did not pass.
1t is understood that the cotton seed
meal seized ut Benncttsville was sold
through New York brokers and was for
Western manufacturers In addition
to the failure to be tagged it il stated
that the meal failed to come up to the
requirement III not having any com
mcrclul value guaranteed.

vitality has been further taxed recently

CHAMPION FITZSIMMONS.


He Puts Corbett to Sleep In the Four
teenth Round by n Blow Under tho
Heart.
At Carson, Nevada, Wednesday
after two years of doubt and vexatiuus
postponement, the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world was decided be-
yond cavil, when Robert FitZsimmons
sent James j. Corbett helpless TO his
knees, with left hand blow under the
heart, after one minute and 45 seconds,
in the fourteenth round of their battle
i'll the arena. The great contest was
won in the simplest manner, and the
knockout was the result of one unwary
move on the part of Corbett. The dis
patch says that the eX-champion is al
most craZed over his defeat, but says
that it was fair fight and that he was
not satisfied and would have it over.
After the result was declared Fitzsim-
mons wife stepped up and kissed the
bloody face of her victorious husband.
After the big mill there were two side
fights, which resulted: Hawkins put
Flaherty out with left swing in 40
seconds, and Green defeated Smith ir
the thirteenth round. Large crowds
witnessed the fights, and it is impossible
to estimate the amount of money that
changed hands on the above results.
