that all such bills, $4,000 or $4,000,
| throughout the state, could be con-
sidered together, Mr.. Billiard said the
| Winnebago cases We're IN Judgment and
ought to be settled at once, regardless

time not later than Thursday; but the
| Wheeler motion to lay over for one
week prevailed.

ter made the point that it needed
amending Mr. Hall cited the fact that
in his county OF Dunn he knew of one
case in which a sheriff had collected $3S,
or such a matter, and charged $3.50 or
more In fees for doing So Mr., Flett
deemed the collection as now practiced
a mere farce.

on motion of the author. sent to the
judiciary committee for amendment.
The Treat bill forbiddig the sale Of
| liquor on the same section Of land on
which the Milwaukee Soldiers home is
| located was antagoniZed by Messrs.

by Messrs. Treat and w. A. Jones. Mr..
Polacheck said fourteen or fifteen little
saloonists were involved There is now
big bar within the soldiers home
grounds Formerly there had been some
disreuptable places outside Of the
grounds, but their licenses had been
! revoked Mr.. Peterson didn't know
what good it would do to pass such a
bill so long as the inmates could get
all the liquor they wanted on the
grounds. Mr. True answered that the
sale on the grounds was restricted, out
side it was not. Mr.. Polacheck made a
motion that the bill be referred to the
| Judiciary committee, but II was defeated,
/ sc to 81, the votes for reference being
/ Messrs Barnum. Bechtel Burnham,
I Cashin Clark Feige, Froehlich, Garwin,
Hoyt, Klabhnde, Krauss Minch Mosher,

Schellenberg, Wolfinger, Woller and
Yorkey.
| Mr. Miss offered a substitute to the
effect that the state should be made to
pay for all property injured by the
proposed law. 1t was voted down. Mr..
Polacheck proposed an amendment that
the sale of liquor to old soldiers p mile
from the grounds he forbidden. 1t too
was defeated, Mr.. Treat having declared
thai it would make the law unconsti-
tutional. Mr.. Barnum declared the
whole bill to be utter nonsense and an
insult to old soldiers who were thus be-
ing treated like ignorant Indians. Mr.
Pierce called for the previous question
, The bill was then ordered engrossed
vive voce, and a recess till evening
