needed repairs.
Madison is to have new industry
and is to be called the Madison Mus
lin Underwear Co, and will give en-
ployment to 60 girls.
The grocers of Madison had holt

Joined the grocers in their outing
On the same day there was an excur.
sion to Madison from Polo, Illinois
which brought about 600 visitors to
the city.
A no-meat restaurant is to be open
ed in Madison about Sept. IL. 1t will
provide no meats, pepper, mustard
chow chow, chilli-sauce, nothing to
irritate the stomach, as a doctor
phrased it, and it is mainly for the
students. This will probably be
stunned more than the club by the
boys on the hill.
The Milwaukee Sentinel is criti-
CLING Mr.. Nils p. Haugen of the
state tax commission, over the fact
| that he appeared as an attorney in II
case at Hudson while acting as a
commissioner, basing its fault-find-
ing on the ground that there was a
| law passed in 1899 which provides
| that no person serving as commits
sioner shall pursue any other bust
ness When asked about the mat
ter, Mr.. Haugen said 81 was at Hud-
son on that date as attorney for q
widow In case involving $4,000 to her
in which Judgment would have gone
against her by default had | not APP
peared. | am not doing auy new
business, but am only closing up
some old cases which have been en-.
tirely in my charge
The anxiously looked for "manifes-
to" of the stal-warts is out. What is
there to it? Simply nothing. The
appearance of the name Of George II
Ray, speaker Of the last assembly, in
the list of signers of the manifesto
was somewhat of a surprise, as he
voted for the carrying cut of the par.
ty pledges, including the enactment
of the primary law. Though later
when the Hagemeister bill was ur
for passage, he voted for it, thus un.
doing all the good be had done. Facts
have leaked out showing why the
sudden change of mind in Mr.. Ray
| It is stated, upon good authority
that Mr.. Ray was to have the support
of the stalwarts in the nomination
for governor at the next republican
| convention If he would join in will
them and sign the call to arms. HI
| therefore viewed with alarm anC
agreed to follow and obey. MIR. Ray,
ambitions Will never be realized
There are circumstances existing
which, when let loose, will handical
him in the race.
Among those who viewed Will
most alarm the interference of th,
executI1 with tho legislative branch
is the quartette of heart crushert
which had such a high old time one
night last winter with some of Anni
Held's chorus girls, that the Madison
police pinched the bunch. Hullu
gee, what time, and such IA head
ache. oysters, wine, chorus girls
Wheel! But out of justice TO Sena
tor Weed it should be stated that h,
is a democrat and did not sign tn,
manifesto. However he is a stall
wart at heart and Senators Roehr
Green and Devos should be courte
Gus enough TO let him sign if h,
wants to. 1t is hardly right to turn
an old pal down SO unceremoniously
just because he happens to have beer
a democrat.
