wIsC0NsIN's LEGIsLATuRE.

C0nvenes I'm Adjourned Session to
Hear Report ON Revision Of Stat
utes.
Madison. Wis.,, Specialize legis-,
lature has convened in adjourned ses-
sion for the purpose of receiving the
report Of the special committee ap-
pointed to revise the statutes. After
brief sessions Of both housse, at which
nothing important was done, the Re-
publican members, who are in an over
whelming majority, held caucus to
consider the matter of taking up new
business. The caucus broke up in con-
fusion after an hours debate. The
members had hoped for a short ses-
sion, but the committees report is,
voluminous and some of the amend
ments so radical that they cannot be
passed without debate. The general
impression is that an adjournment will
be taken and that another special will
be called by Gov. Scofield. Gov.
Scofield sent in several yetoes.

Param0ur of q Faithless Wife Fired
Mt by the Injured Husband.
Bayfield,, Wis, Special-A sensation
al shooting ARRAY occurred here in
which an erring wife, an injured hus-
band and q young man Of the town.
We're concerned. The suspicious of the
husband had been aroused that his
wife and the young man were too in
innate. He discovered that when the
lamp in the woman's bed room was
turned low it indicated to the watcher
outside that all was clear. The man
would then climb up the front porch
and enter the forbidden room. Last
night the husband watched. Quietly
descending he noted the lamp was
turned low, and it was only short
time until the form of the suspected
n an was seen. AS he got to the porch
the husband challenged him, and re-
ceiving no satisfactory answered, fired,
but missed his mark. The woman left
for her mothers home this morning,
while the husband will commence d.
vOrce proceedings.

Ticket.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Special.--The
nomination OF the Hon. L. M. Shaw Of
Crawford county as the standard
bearer Of the Hawkeye Republicans in
the coming campaign ended one Of the
most ~protracted and Interesting con-
tests in the history of Iowa politics.
Almost dozen active candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination were in
the field, but most of them dropped out
one by one, Mr.. Shaw gaining on each
withdrawal until four ballots had been
taken. when the nomination was made
unanimous. There were spirited but
short-lived contests over the other Of
fees, and after the adoption without
dissenting vote of the report of the
committee on resolutions the conven-
ton adjourned sine die. The balance
of the ticket was completed as follows:
Lieutenant governor, j. G. Millman of
Harrison county; supreme Judge, Judge
Waterman of Scott county; railroad
commissioner, G. u. Davidson of Sioux
county: superintendent of instruction,
Il. II. Barrett of Mitchell county.

knowledge at hand, the dairyman has
a powerful aid to correct breeding.
The influence Of the dam, and particu.
larly the sire, on the quality Of the
milk of the offspring, has been but
little studied. and offers fruitful field
for investigation. The owner Of a herd
Of COWS. Of his own breeding, will be
able to trace many lines Of influence.

not only those that are prepotent for
good, but equally important. to de-
termine prepotency for evil. The man
who is systematically testing his COWS,
soon begins to note the relation be-
tween food and milk how-to know his
COWS individually, as to which ones will
make suitable return for increased
feed. He has brought knowledge to
bear on many questions that were pre-
viously indefinite, and the result can
not fail to be increased commercial as
we'll as intellectual profit.

Striking 1E1nse CAeSAaatsd ~

Stril<iae x1nsse CleslEaatsd ~
Pittsburg, Ps, Avg. ~. 81 This was
operators day, and from present ap.
pearances they have made q most ef-
fective move and have nearly, IL not
quite, checkmated their opponents, the
striking coal miners. The courts de-
cree in making permanent the prelim-
mary injunction restraining the strik-
ers from camping, marching or in any
manner interferine with the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coa1 company's mines
has had the effect u almost depicting
the camps about Those mines, and up
parently general decentralization
among the campers exists.
In order to follow up their advantage
the operators held q largely attended
meeting atthe MOnongahela house and
arranged for the starting Of their
mines with or without force. Il force
seems to be unavoidable, It is the in
tention to start certain few mines ut
once under the protection Of deputies,
and whatever expense may result will
be shared pro rata by the mine own
,ers. This scheme was adopted to
break the national strike in 1884. The
operators then agreed to bear the ex:.
penses. and two mines were put in
operation and the men were guarded
10y deputies. The mines selected were
the Man0wan, Of the Y0ughiogheny
Gas Coal company. and the DUR mine,
OF Osborne, Saeger & Co. At the
former mine eighteen railroad cars
were loaded the first day. 1t was ex-
pensive coal, but when the bills were
settled no operator could be found to
tell what that coal cost. Various esti-
mates were given. and It was conceded
by some that it did not cost q cent less
than IS ton. But 1t had the desired
effect.
President Dolan, Of the miners or
ganizatiOn, does not believe the move
N1ent will be O success, as the Opera
tors now talk about their inability to
ray the advance on account of having
taken contracts at the 54-cent rate"
said he. when they made those con-
tracts they were fairly warned that a
higher rate would be demanded. So
that there could be no possibility of
; q misunderstanding, we issued O pub
lie notice and had 1t printed In the
daily papers. They were told plainly
not to make contracts based on a o.
cent mining rate"
President Dolan said tonight that
his men would continue to march, and
II the sheriff arrested them other men
would continue to march, and If the
sheriff arrested them, other men would
take their places at once.
The small showing Of the men at the
camps has apparently encouraged the
De Armitts, and it is expected they
will make an attempt to start their
mines in full at once.
