BANKS CLAIM IS GOOD.
Judge Webb's Decision in the Stevens
Point Case.

Stevens Point, Wis, Feb. 23.-[Spe-
cial]-A decision in the several cases in
stituted by the First National bank of
This city against J. f. Wiley and others,
was handed down by Judge Webb last
Saturday. In 1892 Wiley borrowed $4,000
of the bank and gave certain notes as
collateral security. Ten of these were
for $500 each, one payable each year,
made by Alonzo Matthews to J. r. Wi
ley. These notes were secured by land
executed by Matthews to Wiley. The
$4,000 note of Wiley was renewed until
1895, when the bank refused to carry it
any longer, and when Wiley neglected to
pay the bank brought suit to forecl0se
on the land contract, claiming that the
assignment of the notes conveyed also
the land contract
In 1895 Mr.. Wiley mortgaged the Mat
tTleWs farm to Charles Chafee of Rhine
lander, to secure him on an $4,000 loan.
A contract also was made between Wiley
and Matthews in which it was agreed
that the latter should plant twenty acres
of potatoes each year and deliver the
same to Wiley, which should be deemed
full payment of the annual sum due
Wiley This Matthews has fulfilled.
In his decision Judge Webb holds that
the transfer of the notes operated as an
assignment Of the land contract and that
the bank is entitled to judgment of
foreclosure. The court also holds that
the Chaffee mortgage is subordinate to
the banks interest in the land.

PURITY IN POLITICS.
Proposed Measure to Reform Conven-
tons.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 23.-[Special.]
Assembly lyman Legried. one of the mem
| bers from Dane, has an interesting bill
entitled "a bill to promote the purity of
against the corruption and the, use of
money therein" If it became law and
| it's provisions were respected it would
| work a transformation in conventions,
and would do away with log-rolling. 1t
| provides in the first place that no delegate
| to convention can give away his proxy
and in the second that nobody shall So
lcit the vote of any delegate either for
money or for promise of place. 1t
reads as follows and anybody familiar
with the workings of conventions can
readily see how it would interfere with
wire-pulling if it were obeyed:
The people of the state of Wisconsin,
represented in Senate and Assembly, do en-,
act as follows:
Sec. /. No delegate elected to any city,
county, assembly, senatorial congressional
or state political convention shall give a
proxy to any person to represent him at
such ccnvention and no person shall receive
a proxy from any regularly elected delegate
to any such political convention. Vacancies
in any delegation to any such convention
shall be filed by majority vote of such
delegation; if in city. county, assembly or
senatorial convention by the. delegation
from the ward or township; If IN a con
of the delegation from the county. Pro-
vided, that in city, county, assembly or
senatorial convention, the delegation shall
not be permitted to fill such vacancy by any
person not a resident of the ward or town
ship from which such absolute delegate
was chosen, and that in congressional or
state convention, such vacancy shall not
be filed by any person not resident OF
the county from which such absent delegate
was chosen. And provided further that al
terl,ates may be chosen to- any such con-
vention, and then such alternates shall fill
such vacancies, if in attendance upon such
convention.
Sec g No delegate or member Of any
such convention shall Solicitate any candi-
date for nomination before such convention,
for money, reward, position, place or prefer
nent for the support or vote in such conven-
ton, or no candidate or other person shall

nlent for his support or VOTE in SUCH cob
vention in favor of any candidate.

ton, or offer to pay money or other valuable

nducement or for the purpose of securing
the support vote of any such delegate
or member, in favor of, against, any
candidate that may come before such con-
vxention.
Sec. 4. Any person violating any Of the
provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty

DEPARTMENT STORES.
Assemblyman Taylor's Bill to LIZ
Cense Them is Con-
Sidered.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 24.-[Special. L
Before the committee on corporations
yesterday Assemblyman Taylor present
ed his arguments in favor Of the passage
of his department store bill, which is
likely to create something of a stir in
the state before it is passed upon. The
committee took no action on the matter
and appointed hearing for a week from
next Thursday when it is expected that
a large delegation will be present and
the matter will be more fully discussed.
Mr.. Taylor submitted number of i'm
portant reasons why something should
be done to change the existing state of
affairs, and said that one of the most I'M
portant was that of improving the morals
of the clerks. The wages paid by the
department. stores he maintained were
insufficient, especially to the female en-
upon the streets. The whole tendency
of the department store he said was de
moralizing.
Another reason why the department
stores should be wiped out, Mr.. Taylor
said, was that they interfered very
much with the small dealer. He devoted
considerable time to discussing the effect
upon the small merchants and showed
that some of the large department stores
ness. In Chicago, Mr.. Taylor said, the
small shopkeepers had begun a strong
movement for their own protection and
they were backed by the Civic associa-
ton. The Legislature of Minnesota was
wrestling with the prob1em and a joint
committee Of it's two houses was holding
daily sessions to take testimony on the
subject. New York was also taking
steps, he said, to remedy the existing
evil.
Mr.: Taylor's bill divides merchandise
into seventy-eight classes and provides
license for each class. A person may
engage in as many lines as he is Willing
to pay license for. The licenses arc to
be fixed by the city council and they
cannot be less than SIS each. The bill
does not apply to cities of less than 1000
population.
Mr.. Overlook thought larger cities
should be exempt, but Mr.. Taylor OBJ
jected to any change in that particular.

AGAINST VACCINATION.
Children May Attend School With
out Complying with
that Rule.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 23.-[Special.] i
The legality of the rule requiring the
vaccination of all school children in Wis
consin as a condition of their being per-
mitted to attend school, promulgated by
the state board of health through local
boards in January, 1894, was tested in Il
case decided by the Supreme court today
that of the state eX rel. T. J. Adams of
Burdge and the other members of the
school board Of that city. When the vac
cination rule was promulgated Mr..
Adams refused to have his children vac
cinated, and when they were in conse-
quence excluded from the schools he
brought action for a writ of mandamUs
to compel the defendants, as the school
board. to permit his children to attend
the public schools without a physicians
certificate to show that they had been
vaccinated. The lower court found that
he was entitled to peremptory writ OF
mandanus rs asked for: that there was,
during January and February, 1894, 10
epidemic of smallpox in Wisconsin, there
being but few cases in the state and
only one in Beloit. The court also found
that the statutes precluCe the idea that
the state board of health possesses legis-
latjve power in itself, and it's rules must
not be inconsistent with the laws Of the
state or the rules prescribed by the local
boards of health pursuant to law. The
court found further that one Of Adams
children was of such age that he was
bound to send her to school under the
decision of the court below against the
school board the latter appealed.
The Supreme court affirmed the verdict
of the lower court.
