tobacco can be cured by electricity.
They had the idea that charges of
electricity sent through leaves and

speedy way of curing them, and might
avoid pole sweating So they took a
few plants to the power station of the
Amherst & Sunderland road few days
ago, and had charges of electricity
seut through the stalks, wires being
connected. The effect of this treat

| Tie anti-cigarette bill was killed in the
! Senate on Thursday. It was on the cal
endar for engrossment and third reading,
with report from the judiciary commit
| tee OF hye to four in its favor. There
was no debate, and upon the call for the
hyes and nays the bill was defeated, II
to 10. The first proposition for final ad-
journment was made through joint res
olution by Senator Kruetzer, providing
that all business except messages from
the Governor shall be cut off May 2 at
midnight, and that adjournment sine die
be taken May f. It went to the commit
tee ON rules, and will be amended to a
later date before it is adopted May 10
is a conservative estimate for final adj
journment. The Assembly refused to
concur in the Senate amendment to the
apportionment bill changing the division
of Brown County so as to give two Re-
publican Assemblymen. Messrs. Orton,
Hall and other leading Republicans de-
nounced the change as a gerrymander,
and the Assembly killed it, SO to 8. The
next few days will probably witness some
important developments in the matter of
the disposition of some of the important
taxation and appropriation bills, and the
fate of the one set of bills will material
ly affect that of the other. The commit
tee ON claims has reported the normal
school bill for it's full amount, but is still
holding up the university bills. The agri-
cultural college will suffer the most if
the university appropriations are not al
lowed. Assemblyman Whitson has secur-
ed the engrossment Of bill which makes

Senator Gayney introduced resolution
to compel the return from the committee
of the Senate bill, which is a duplicate OF
the measure which has already passed
the Assembly. The purpose was to re-
lieve the committee Of considering that
bill. The resolution was adopted Is to
13. The two absentees are said to be
hostile to the measure, hence the llkell.

semblyman Halls resolution for con.
stitutional amendment legalizing the use

walton started row among the natives.
In the melee that ensued several of the
dark-skinned participants were seriously
injured. The Indian police, who attempt
ed to quell the reyel, were beaten badly
and those of them who were not uncon-
sclous took to the woods. Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal Lewiston and his as
slstant, Hugh, went to Hayward and
took into custody the aggressors in the
drunken row. They brought them to
Ashland. The five Indians are charged
with disorderly conduct. When taken
before Court Commissioner Tomkins they
