WISCONSIN REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE.
Address Issued by Members of the Leg
iSiature.

Address Issued by Members of the Leg
isIature.
The following statement of principles
and aims of the Wisconsin Republican
League, signed by SO out of total of 112
republican members of the last legisla
ture, has been made public:
To the Republicans of Wisconsin,
The undersigned, Republican members
of the legislature of 1901, are convinced
that the Republican party of Wisconsin
is upon the verge of a crisis which can
only be averted by organized effort on
the part of all Republicans who consider
party welfare above personal ambition.
AS representatives of the people, we
view with alarm the persistent effort to
strengthen the executive at the expense
of the legislative department of the state.
The constitution says: The legislative
power shall be vested in senate and as
sembly." The perpetuity of our institu-
tons depends upon the independence
and integrity of each of the coordinate
branches of our government. Neither is
responsible to the other, but each is re-
sponsible to the people. Neither should
submit to dictation from the other. Any
attempt to subordinate the legislative
department to the control of the execu-
tive is revolutionary and deserves prompt
and emphatic rebuke.
The public interest demands that
among the several departments of gov
eminent there be cordial and courteous
cooperation.
These propositions are so fundamental
that they are more vital than party sue
cess itself.
Many understandable interferences
with the powers of the legislature and
attempts to coerce acquiescence in I'M
reasonable acts and unwise experiments
at the last session were contrary to the
welfare of the people of Wisconsin, and
created bitter fractional differences in the
Republican party.
The party must not permit itself to be
divided, and possibly destroyed, by fac
tional disputes. It's purposes are too
high, its work too important, to be dom
mated for personal ends.
For these reasons we present to you
the necessity Of wholesome organiza-
ton which shall truly represent the
whole party and safe guard it's princi-
pies. We have not in contemplation an
organization for single campaign, but
one that shall be permanent and as COM
prehensive as the party it represents.
In furtherance of such an organiza-
ton, rooms have been leased on the
eleventh floor of the Herman building,
in Milwaukee. where all Republicans
will be welcome and where opportunity
will be afforded to enroll in the Wiscon-
sin Republican League.

UNDER the new law passed by the last
legislature boys and girls may attend
any high school and the town in which
they live will be compelled to pay the
tuition, provided there is no high school
in the town in which they live. The
town without high school raises funds
by taxation to pay the tuition. This
gives students from the smaller country
towns better opportunity to obtain a
higher education.

The Stillman Spring Water-Hundreds
 of New Haven Families Are Using It.
 The Stillman Spring Water company is furnishing hundreds of New Haven families with their table water, and many others will be glad to know that this water is being supplied regularly and systematically at the houses of cus- toners. The company's office is at 149 Court street, this city, where all infor- nation on the subject can be obtained. Orders may be also telephoned to the company's office and will be promptly attended to. Their telephone number is 1422-3 There is no extra charge for the spring water is not distilled water, or one taken from artesian wells, but comes direct from natural spring on the Stillman homestead in Bridgeport. This homestead has been in the Still man family seventy-fve years. The vester F. Wheeler, Connecticut state chemist, is shown to be one of the best and purest of spring waters.
 MT. Wheeler has made frequent an- alyses of this water and thoroughly en- dorses it's purity and healthfulness. He has used it in his family for the last six years. He considers it the best table water he has ever analysed. The water comments itself to all users.

success. The mouth washed, it became lunch time."
 J. T. Benton appeared with bamboo pole nine feet long. On the end of this in strip were the five rabbits. v The whole "mear hanging from the pole was perhaps four feet long. When a snake eats of it's volition 1t unlocks it's jaws. This will permit the eating of animals of almost any size. Long Tom was not hungry, and refused to give up
 When the end of this string of rabbits was placed in his mouth Long Tom be- gan to make himself felt. His great body swayed and the men, strong as they were, had hard work to keep the body straight. Once in, the process of
 'stuffing" was slow, danger of injuring the snake and difficulty in holding him entering into the question In no small measure. Gradually the body grew as the rabbits were forced down the throat and after twenty minutes of the hard est kind of work the pole was with drawn, and Long Toms lunch was over. His mouth was washed again, and then began the journey to the tank.
 He had come out head first; he went back tail first, and coiled up as each man let go. His head was dropped and the glass front went up in flash, the men wiping the precipitation from their faces with signs of relief.
 To feed a snake by the stufflng pro- cess does not always mean that he will retain the nourishment, so there was some anxiety felt concerning Long Toms general disposition for food. When after an hours wait, the snake was seen drinking as if he enjoyed it, fears as to the success of the mornings work were dispelled.-Boston Herald.

FEEDING A PYTHON BY FORGE.
A Thirty One-Foot Snake Breaks His
 Eight Weeks Fast

l A I IIfIty-oHe-EOO OOC Snake BTedkS II IS | Eight Weeks Fast
 Long Tom," the big python, had an- | other meal yesterday. It was break | fast, lunch and dinner combined, and l the first for eight weeks. He was not | consulted about the matter not until | he found himself securely held did he | realize that he was up once more fer food.
 Eight weeks is a long period between 1 meals for any one but Long Tom. He holds record few would wish to strug- gle for. It is not case of disappoint- ed love, or a violent attack of despond- ency developing into suicidal mania, taking the form of death by starva- tion, simply the fact that he is in cap tivity, and maybe doesn't like his boarding house.
 He lay in his cage yesterday nlorn- ing. coiled upon the platform apart from the tank, his eyes closed. Not an
 inch of his thirty-one and one-half feet
 of sinewy body showed the slightest
 sign of life, but he was beautiful to
 look upon. To look at snake from the
 safe side of heavy plate-g glass cage is
 one thing and to stand beside him in
 the open, with only the hands of men
 to protect you, is another The thought
 that he was to be taken from the tank
 and held while food was thrust down
 his throat sent certain thrill through
 the body not exactly pleasant
 Hold him straight, now, be sure!
 Don't let him form the s. If you do,
 it's all up with everybody" shouted some one who knew. On the whole, the
 warning was not reassuring. Standing at the tank was Beatrix Roderico, or, as she is more familiarly known,
 "Trixie," the snake charmer. The glass came off, and the snake raised its head. Tn flash '"Trixie'' had cow cred it with a cloth and, holding fast. drew the monster out slowly. The men filed in and took hold, one on each side, shoulder to shoulder, hugging close to their bodies the writhing form of Long Tom. The snake was taken from the tank much as one would tug to draw out long strip of large hose.
 Long Tom, held by the arms of his score or more attendants, was straight ened out for the application of the the keS, so the rabbits had to be pre- pared in such form as would per I1llC Ol lISlI DSlIS puSllcu uOWu HIS throat

Just as one would stuff a pillow, or more likely 8 bed roll, with feathers, just so was this snake stuffed with rab- bits Trixie held his head, while next to her, holding the snake, were Walter Fox, Frank Prior and Roger Davis, while Charlie Bunker, a man of some weight, was put upon the tail, very important part of python in such q fix should he succeed it getting it free.
 To guard against canller Long Toms mouth had to be washed out with a weak solution of carbolic acid and wa ter. He didn't appear to desire such a douche, and held his mouth tightly closed.
