Judge Bryant, but Mr.. Wheeler and
Judge Orion explained how ineuuit-
ably they thought the bill would op-

law that Mr.. Moore had Incorporated
in his measure. The speaker ap-
pointed Messrs. Wheeler, Catlin and
Eline house conferees. The senate
members are Messrs. Roehr, Harris
and weed. The tax committee reported
favorably the Orion bill which will in
crease the insurance taxes to the state

Madison, March 16.-The senate
concurred in house bills as follows:
Nos. 6S (Thomas), relating to the
bounty for killing Wildcats and lynx;
It's (Zinn), forbidding the purchase of
goods by junk or second hand dealers
from minors, unless the latter have
the written consent of parents to sell,
and 262 (Guth), requiring peddlers to
show license.
mild sensation was created at the
evening session when the railroad
committee unanimously reported
against the assembly amendment pro-
viding an office-forfeiture clause for
the anti-pass resolution. AS both
houses seem disposed to stand firm in
the matter anti-pass enactment as
probability of the near future seems
quite visionary.
On motion of Mr.. Vandercook the
vote was reconsidered by which the
| Hurlbut bin was killed which permits
county superintendent, in issuing
teachers certificates, to accept the nor
NAL school ratings of the applicants
in lieu of examinations. After a de-
bate the bill went to third reading
| by the decisive vote of 81 to SO. A
debate ensued on Senator Weltons bill
permitting the state superintendent to
appoint an inspector of public schools
for the deaf and dumb at 81, 200 year
salary and $500 for expenses. There
are but 16 of these local schools with
only an attendance of from to IL Ia
each. The state allows SIPS per cap
ita for each pupil so taught. The bin
was killed, 81 to 80. The Thomas
joint resolution for a constitutional
amendment, requiring the supreme
| court to give advance opinions on the
constitutionality of all proposed laws
when asked to do SO by the governor
or by two-thirds vote of the legisla-
ture, was also killed, II to II. The
chief argument against it was that it
would throw questions before the SUI
preme court without both sides with
interests at stake being represented.
The assembly opened it's evening
session by killing thirteen assembly
resolutions, memorials and bills,
among them joint resolution No. Is
(Hoehle), relating to SUFFRAGE memo
rial to congress No. (Hoehle), for
establishment of postal savings banks;
219 (Germer), relating to interchange
of telephone business; 275 (Keene), for
creation of bureau of vital statistics,
400 (Steiger), relating to speed of
trains; AS (Guth), relating to office
hours of public officers, and 49s, (Stei-
ger), fixing speed of engines and trains
in cities and villages at Is miles an
hour. Mr.. Burlington succeeded in
saving temporarily No. 191a, to appro-
pirate $4,000 to the Eau Claire w. C.
T. U. home for unfortunate women.
He was DESTROYS of seeing if the bill
could not be saved by in some manner
placing the home under the control Of
the state, and on his motion the meas
ure was laid over until next Wednes-
day.
