CFrom our own Correspondent

this legislature Will Tfl1Sn It's
work by Saturday Mar. 18th,
and certainly if the work of the
past two weeks is kept up it
would seem likely that an adj
iournment would be possible at
that time. Without doubt the
legislature has made great pro
gress during the last two weeks,
and besides killing off a great
many bills there are now a
great many measures OF great
Importance on a fair way toward
passage. Among the bills on
which the legislative committees
are about. ready to report are the
orion bills taxing life and fire
insur ance companies The eX-
act rates at which life insurance
companies will be taxed has not
yet been decided, but it would
seem likely that the rates in the
original orion bill will be but
slightly changedealthough it may
be that the taxes as to foreign
insurance companies will be left
as at present for the fear Of re-
talitOrv measures which might
be adopted by other states
against Wisconsin companies III
case heavy taxes were levied
against foreign insurance com
panies here.
AS to fire insurance companies
it is understood that the COM
mittee has practically decided to
place the rate of the premium tax
on the gross receipts of these
companies in Wisconsin, at 2 per
cent. without regard as to wheth
CT the corporation is one with its
Headquarters in the United States
or ina foreign country. Under
the original terms of these bills
foreign corporations were to be
taxed more heavily than comp
anies organized under the laws
of the United States. These bills
will it is understood come back
into the assembly early next
week. The Senate bills taxing
fast freight, equipment, express
and sleeping car lines, have also
been tavorablv passed upon by
the Committee on the Assess
ment and Collection of Taxes.
and will probably be reported
also earl y next week and passed
before another week whirls
around. So, far over 200 bills
have been killed in both houses.
Among the resolutions which
was killed in the assembly this
week, was a measure which pro-
vided for aconstitutionalamen
nent making in the future, citi-
zenship instead Of a years resi-
dence in this country one of the
necessary qualifications of a
voter.
The McGillivraVresolution pro-
viding for a memorial by this
legislature to. the National Con
gress for legislation, by that
body giving the. United States
concurrent Jurisdiction with
states to take action for the sup
preston of trusts, has passed
both houses and will undoubted-
" receive the signature Of the
governor. The principal object
of this bill is without doubt to
place the Wisconsin legislature
as on record against trusts.
In, the assembly this week a
bill was killed, which if passed
would have prohibited the run
ming of a saloon within $50 feet
of any church or school house.
One Of the principal objections
urged against this bill, was, that
it would cut off many country
store keepers, who have stores
at cross roads where there are
also churches and school houses,

BRIDGING THE CHASM.


Jack, the superb thoroughbred, car
ried Lieutenant Oakman over the moon
lit road with swiftness and ease that
filed his rider with admiration. The
steed, as black as the eyes Of his mis-
tress. seemed tireless. It was so long
since he had had an opportunity for
stretching his peerless limbs that he
reveled in the enjoyment Of sweeping
mile after mile behind him.
Twice during the night the lieuten-
ant met other horsemen, but. although
they exchanged salutations. the uni
form Of the officer awoke no suspicion,
If indeed it was noticed. Some time
later, however, he found himself sud-
denly pursued by squad Of cavalry,
who shouted to him to halt and give an
account of himself Figuratively speak
ing, Jack laughed at the party and
with little effort threw them hopelessly
to the rear.
But Oakman knew how to treat such
a noble animal Just as it was growing
light he turned off from the main road
and approached negro's cabin, that
belonged to one Of the plantations that
were the rule in that state. It was lit

any member Of the African race, and
when the horseman had made known
who he was the negro and his wife
showed him genuine southern hospital

the horse, the "mammy' prepared a
nourishing meal Of pone, bacon and 20
tatoes which was fully enjoyed by the
officer, who then lay down in rear
room and slept uninterruptedly until
the middle Of the afternoon.
Upon coming to himself, Oakman
was surprised to hear men conversing in
the front room. Listening for a mo-
ment, he recognized the voices as those
OF white persons who had made him the
subject OF their conversation. 1t was
easy to tell from their words that they
had come down upon the dwelling SO
suddenly that the negro had no time to
warn his guest. AS the only thing,
therefore, to do, he stoutly maintained
that he had no guest at all.

IL
One of the curious features of that
nights stirring incidents was that
from their opening to the close. the
good Mrs. Eldridge slept uninterrupted-
ly. Not until the following day did she
learn of the alarming experiences of her
friends. The same can be said of Aunt
Marcie and her lively son Rastus.
though in their case the fact perhaps
was not so remarkable, since they were
further removed from the turmoil
AS Lieutenant Oakman drew near the
humble home of Pete, the faithful serv-
ant of General Eldridge, a burning point
of light and pungent smell Of tobacco
brooding in the air apprised him that,
despite the lateness of the hour, the
slave was seated on the bench in front
of his cabin. smoking his pipe. 1t may
have been that what he had passed
through rendered the old man restless.
and he was seeking to soothe his nerves
before lying down for rest
Naturally he was astonished when he
recognized the Union officer approach
ing him. 1t required several minutes
for Oakman to make clear that he had
returned to avail himself of the offer Of
Miss Eldridge. Pete knocked the ashes
from his pipe and gave grunt of dis

surprising frankness. why 20 was

That parting with Miss Eldridge had
put Lieutenant Oakman in frame of
mind that made it impossible for him
to be offended with anything in which
she was interested. Still there was i'm
minent need of haste.
Il admit, Pete, that I have acted
foolishly, but it is not good manners for
you to refer to it. Besides, a number of

house looking for me. and if dom get

gasped the scared Pete. IF dat am so.

In his alright he moved as if he were
young man again. With the officer at
his heels he led the way across the old
cotton field, or rather along its margin,
for he fully comprehended the peril
that threatened the young man for
whom he had formed strong attach
ment Then they penetrated into the
woods until they came upon tumble
down structure that had been converted
into rude stable. where the beautiful
thoroughbred Jack had long been kept

He was again saddled and bridled.
and then by a long, circuitous route
was conducted to the highroad at a
point about half way between the home
OF General Eldridge and the forking of
