Madison, Feb. 1.-THE Joint resolu
ton from the assembly in the form oil
a memorial to congress asking for a
constitutional amendment for the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote of the people was con.
CURED in without discussion. By the
senate, bill of Importance was that
| of Senator Stout relative to com
| pulsory education. The senator would
make failure to send children be-
| tween the ages of and IA years to
school for at least three months of the
school year a misdemeanor punish
able by a fine Of not less than 81 nor
more than $40 Senator Miller pre-
scented measure which measure con-
fers upon the board of supervisors of
Dane county the power to make ap-
preparations for permanent improve
ments on the county fair grounds. A
report of the commissioners of public
lands was submitted and referred to
the committee on public lands. Of
the claims Of Sank and Columbia coun-
ties for money due them from the
sale Of swamp lands the commission
ers say there is nothing in them.
The assembly by vote of SO to So
ordered to third reading Mr.. Len
roots resolution for constitutional
amendment permitting cities to raise
taxes to the amount Of 10 per cent. of
the assessed valuation for the purpose
of public utilities. The limit is now
per cent. The Overlook bill re-
qu1ring license of 10 cents ton to
be paid to the state on all ice shipped
out and each outside company to also
pay SO license to the state for the
privilege of cutting ice occasioned
some debate and was finally laid over.
Mr. Sturdeyant declared the proposed
act as probably unconstitutional be-
cause it laid al export duty-a power
reserved to congress. But Mr. Over
beck insisted it was not a tax but
license. Mr.. Miner introduced a
memorial asking Wisconsin congress
men to oppose the ship subsidy bill
On Mr.. Halls motion it went over for
the day. Mr.. Duerrwaechter intro
duced bill compelling railway com

Washington, Feb. 1S-Nearly the
whole days session Of the senate was
devoted to the consideration Of the
postOtfiCe appropriation bill. So far
as the committee amendments to the
measure are concerned. the bill prac-
tically was completed, although the
amendment appropriating half a mil
lion dollars for extension of the pneu-
matte tube service remains undis-
posed Of Senator Pettus of Alabama
delivered a speech in opposition to
the ship subsidy bill
The bill to authorize the holding
Of an International exposition in cele-
bration Of the centennial anniversary
Of the Louisiana purchase at ST. Louis
in 1903, and appropriating $5,O00,000
therefor passed the house. Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the appropriations
committee, took occasion to make Il
detailed statement of the appropria<
lions by the present congress. The
situation, he said. was quite bad
enough without exaggerating it. He
figured the appropriations would total

Washington, Feb. 16.-At the CON
clusion of the morning hour in the
senate when the unfinished business
the shipping bill-was laid before
the body, Senator SpOoner rep,
Wis., moved to proceed to the con-
sideIation of the oleomargarine bill.
By practically unanimous vote,
only two senators voting in the mega
tive, the motion prevailed. Thus the
subsidy bill was displaced as unfin-
ished business and the oleomargarine
bill placed in that order. Among
the pension bills passed were those
giving pensions of $50 a month to the
widows of General Du Barry Admiral
Crosby. Col. Liscum, Admiral Ficken
and Commissary General Penrose.
The house made little progress with
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The major portion of the time was
opent in debating the proposition of
fered by Mr.. Hill Comm to strike out
the appropriation of 100000 for the
free transportation of silver coin. It
was defeated 61-66.

Washington, Feb 15.-That Oppost-

will not permit vote to be taken on
the measure at the present session
was made clear during the closing
hour of today's session. For sew
eral days it mas been evident it would
be difficult to gain unanimous consent
to take vote upon the measure, but
not until late today was the frank
assertion made that a vote could not
be had.
Under the leadership of Mr.. Car

committee, a long flibuster consumed

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
devoted practically the entire day to
the agricultural appropriation BIZ.
The measure was not completed.
Senator Hale of Maine and Senator
Lodge of massachusetts sounded
notes Of warning against the enor-
nous appropriations being made by
, the present congress. Events in con
nection with the sale of the old New
| York custom house to the National
| City bank occupied the center Of the
stage during the debate on the sundry
| civil appropriation bill in the house.
| Mr.. McRae (dem., Ark raised the
| issue with a motion to strike out the
appropriation of $371 047 for the rent
Of the custom house and with this mo-
ton as a basis Mr.. Jones (Va.)
launched a fierce attack upon the
manner and circumstances OF the
sale. Messrs. Cannon and Hopkins OF
Illinois both defended the transaction
and the latter turned the tables on the
democrats by springing upon them a
series Of letters written by prominent
democrats, including Senator Jones
of Arkansas, to the secretary Of the
treasury under the Cleveland adj
ministration asking deposit Of gov
ernment funds in banks with dem
ocratic procIivities. His center sho

unruly boys was of little value to
him Monday, when his unruly team
took a notion for a spin about town.
They landed on the sidewalk in

but the pole OF a buggy hitched to
them. A few repairs were necessary
before the Prof. could go to his

Saturday was q big day in 81 iller.
The streets Were lined with teams
and the stores full OF people laying
in win ter supplies. When we look
back to the quiet times of a few
years ago it is an agreeable surprise
now to see large number OF clerks
rushing business ina the big stores.
If other towns in the state have inn
proved and increased their business
as Miller has in the past two or

wonderful one in the total esults.

apples in South Dakota also. And
why not? The northern apple is the
best by all odds, and already con-
siderable success has been reached
in older sections OF the state.

up all the flags he hads Saturday,
and brought down the first cold
wave on an unsuspecting public.
That night and Sunday ice froze on
the shallow ponds so that the boys
were out skating Monday, and a
general hustle began putting up
stoves, storm windows, etc. How
ever, there is something about these
good stiff Dakota breezes that
makes a man brace up and feel like
a race horse.

PRESIDENT RooSEvELT'S troubles
have begun over the Federal patronage
in New York. The most important
offices are that of Collector and Ap-
praiser in the port of New York, now
held by Bidwell and Wakeman. Platt
wants Bidwell retained, and told the
President he would be satisfied with
that. This was so satisfactory to Pres
ident Roosevelt that he told personal
friend from New York that Bidwell
would be retained, but Wakeman would
be replaced. Cornelius Bliss, Treas.
urer of the Republican National Com
mittee, heard of this, and very soon the
protests against Wakeman's removal
were mighty and voluminous. The
President was amazed. He did not
want to ignore such support, so he said
his decision in the case was not neces-
sarily final. And now Secretary Gage
and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Spalding vigorously protest against
Wakeman being retained, Bliss VS.
Gage. Whose case it?

The Royal Month and the Royal Dis
ease.

Sudden changes OF weather are especially
trying, and probably to none more so than to
the scrofulous and consumptive. The prog
ress of scrofula during a normal October is
commonly great We never think of scrofula
its punches. cutaneous eruptions, and vast
ing OF the bodily substance-without think
ing Of the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose
radical and permanent cures of this one dis
ease are enough to make it the most famous
medicine in the world. There is probably not
a city or town where Hoods Sarsaparilla has
not proved its merit in more homes than one
in arresting and completely eradicating
scrofula, which is almost as serious and as
much to be feared as its near relative,-con-
sumption.
