MUST REPORTERS REVEAL
The Source of Information Which
They PUBLISH

Within short time 1t is probable
that some member of the house will
introduce bill designed for the pro-
lection OF reporters in the matter Of
revealing the source of any informa-
ton received. A bill which amounts to
placing Of reporters on a plane with
physicians and attorneys has already
been passed by the Maryland legisla-
ture and one embracing it's main
features Is now before the Wisconsin
solons- There is no stronger rule in the
ethics of reporters than that which
keeps in unviolable secresy the source
of his information. Without this tacit
underStand ding. the reporter would be
cut off from much valuable informa-
ton. 1t being generally understood
that he might often do incalculable
damage by a violation Of his profess
sional honor. The law pending in
Wisconsin is as follows:
That no person engaged in, connect
ed with or employed on a newspaper
or journal shall be compelled to dis
close, in any legal proceedings or trial.
or before any committee of the legls-
lature Or elsewhere, the source Of any
news or information procured or OBJ
tanned by him for and published in the
newspaper ON and In which he Is en-
gagged, connected or employed.

IL TO call witnesses and investigate the af-

whereas We, the representatives of the

is neglect to comply with the law and man

a personal character; and
Whereas. Your committee, having only
partially examined one witness and having
given no opportunity to present evidence

once, now reports back to the senate asking
further instructions and alleging that 1t fears

fish, shipped contrary to the law, may
be made without warrant.
Two-thirds of all money received for
the sale Of game or fish by the COM
missioners shall be credited to the diff

state.
Rumor had 1t yesterday that the bill,
which Senator Miller avowedly intro
duced by request, was subject Of
more or less interest to one Of the Min

his constituents, did not desire to father
it. Frank Farnham, Of Minneapolis,

some time, is said to be pushing the bill

positions created thereby.

TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. 1.-THE excit-

sisted the rule Of the Republican ma

sion Of that body, when the Populists
OVERRIDE the Republicans roughshod
AT the opening Of the session, True
blood's resolution to appoint a COM
mdttee to revise the calendar was
brought up for action. Speaker Protein
Wellep, gave the Republicans notice
at the start that the majority would
brook no opposition from the Republi-
cans. He would rule, he said. that the
calendar could be revised by the vote
of a bare majority. Cubbison CRep1
protested that such action would re-
qu1re tWO-thirds vote Of the house,
and Lambert said that the courts
would. decide. as illegal any bills which
the Populists must pass in the man
ner indicated. Lambert demanded
roll call upon the appointment of the
committee to revise, but the question
was ignored by the speaker, who put
the previous question by viva voce
vote. Immediately the Republicans
We're in an uprOar, demanding recogni-
ton and repeatedly calling for a roll
call.
Weilep threatened them with the
ergeant-at-arms, but without avail,
and then called up the first bill on the
calendar. Amid great excitement dur
ing which the Republicans mounted
chairs and wildly gesticulated in an
effort to gain a hearing, the clerk went
through the formality of calling the
roll for the passage of the first bill.
Weilep sat unmoved, and the clerk
having finished the call, declared the
bill passed. Further confusion was
averted finally by motion to take
recess, which carried.
During the recess, Weilep spoke to a
reporter in defense of his action. II

stitutiOn which empowers the house
to transact its business by a majority
vote. We are going to pass some bills
and we shall not submit to any OBJ
struction from the Republican side"
TOdays clash has been coming on for
a week past and arose principally out
of the tactics pursued by the Republi-
cans in blocking legislation because the
Popuhsts refused to accord them suf-
ficient recognition for their measures.
Mr.. TrueblOod moved to refer the cal
endar to the revision committee, the OBJ
ject being to advance railroad and
other important bills. On Friday,
Weilep states, the Populists will
change the rules to suit themselves,
notwithstanding the Republicans
claim that such action would be I'M
constitutional.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1.-THE result OF
yesterdays municipal election in wards where
there were contests was not known until long
after midnight. The strongest fight In the
city, between the combine and anti-combine
factions of the Republican party, was in the
Fifteenth ward, the latter faction by $50
votes electing Clinton Rogers Woodruff, sec
rotary Of the National Municipal league, a
member Of the legislature to fill vacancy.
Mrs. William B. Riley was elected a school
director. In three other wards. women who
received the regular Republican nomination

unsuccessful candidates.

A MUSICAL MOUSE.
Her Song Was Clear Enough to BE
Heard Distinctly.

Her Song Was Clear Enough to he
Heard Distinctly.
A good deal of skepticism prevails as
to the fact of there being singing mice,
but, having kept such youngster for
four years, an English gentleman is in
a position to speak with authority.
2 She was caught in coal mine, was
brought to the surface and handed over
to the narrator. Thus commenced an
acquaintance which soon ripened into
intimacy, and which was only terminal
ed by her death. There was no doubt
about her song-a pretty, bird-ike
MARBLE, rising and falling alternately,
and of sufficient power to carry from the
top to the bottom of the house when all
was quiet
In appearance she was just an or
wen-groomed whiskers, the beady
black eyes and an elegant tapering tail,
Like the rest of her tribe. It was her
song alone which singled her out from
the dumb millions of her fellows, and
this song she poured out almost with
out intermission during her waking
hours.
The speculations of the learned have
been exercised over this matter, and
some have thought that bronchitis, by
narrowing the air passages, produces
a noisy wheeling, which enthusiastic
admirers have dignified as a song.
Others, with greater probability, have
suggested that every mouse is a singing
mouse, but that on account of the dull
ness of our ears we hear only the bass
voiced vocalists, while the shriIer melo-
dies of the great majority are unno-
ticeds
Everyone knows that the squeak of
bat is not heard by everyone, and that
one party in a conversation on coun-
try walk may be almost deafened by a
chorus OF bats, while the other may
hear nothing of the noise. Certain it is
that dissection reveals nothing alb
normal in the vocal apparatus of the
singing mouse, and doubtless very
slight difference in the quality of the
vocal cords would result in mouse
with a voice sufficiently bass to bring
the sound within the compass of our
hearing powers.-Golden Days.

MY FRIEND FROM INDIA.

The story of My Friend From
India" besides being uproarously fun
ny and occasionally suggesting horse
play, there is a thread of satire that
is pleasing to the despiser of shams;
the satire deals with the craze of the
new-rich for society, and the craze of
society for fads-the theosophical fad
especially. "Erastus Underholt" rich
Kansas City pork packer, grows rich,
goes to New York and for his chill
dren's sake tries to break into swell
dom. He thinks by posing as pat
ron of theosophy he can succeed. His
son goes on a spree and brings a
drunken barber home with him, and to
escape his fathers ire he palms his
companion off as a great theosophical
adept. . The complications arising
from the desire of the barber to escape
and the obstacles that beset him con-
tinue throughout the play. The fun
is pure, clean and refreshing. lit is one
of the very few really good things
scheduled for our pleasure.
