yention 10 pass on an amendment re-
latiug TO the election of United States
senator's by direct vote. The same

by Senator Merton.
A petition from the Woman's Stuff
rage association of Wisconsin, asking
the Legislature to memorabilia congress
to take steps to amend the constitu
ton of the United States SO as to for
bid any state to disfranchise any citi-
zen on account of sex, was introduced
by David Evans.
To prevent divorced persons from
marrying within two years after the
divorce was the purpose of bill pre-
sented by Mr.. Rankl The bin also
provides that when citizens of Wiscon-
sin 80 to other states to marry in order
to evade the law, the marriage shall be
void in Wisconsin.
MIR. Frear introduced a bill making
railroad corporations liable for dam
ages sustained by their employees
through the negligence of other en-
ployes without contributory negligence
upon his part.
Other bills were.
Mr.. Cowing the salaries
of officers of state institutions from
s. 500 to $4,000 a year
Mr.. Valentine ppropriating Sl6,-
coo to the Wisconsin agricultural eX-
pertinent station to experiment in the

iact. The bill creates commission of
three and places under its provisions
all he employees of state officers. except
governor, and all those of the state in
situations. Examinations are pro-
vided.
The assembly Monday, Feb, 16.
adopted a joint resolution requesting
the governor to return to the assembly
the bill increasing the number of leg
islative employees. The resolution was
introduced by David Evans. Jr. who
explained that, inasmuch as the bill
had passed under a suspension of the
rules, he and many other members did
not know that the bill called for to-
tai of 81 additional employees, but had
supposed that seven new clerks We're
all that were provided for He felt that
to authorize the employment OF Il new
clerks would be to defeat the efforts Of
the last legislature at economy and re-
trenchment. and therefore he urged the
adoption of the resolution, Other mem
bers who had understood that the num-
Der of additional employees provided for
in the bill was seven were afraid that
the governor might veto the bill and,
inasmuch as some additional help was
needed, they voted for the resolution
asking the governor To return the bill
to She assembly. The vote on the
resolution to call the bill back was
passed by vote of SO ayes to 10 noes,

EEr-FISHING IN THE LAKES.
Now the Fresh Water Fish Are Cap
tared for the Marketa OF
the Country.

Practically all commercial fishing in
fresh waters is carried on by the use
Of nets. whether a rowboat or an up
to-date tug il employed. The gill net is
the han6iest and is much used in Lake
Erie. This forms a fence on the bottom
OF the lake about six feet high and any
where from 500 feet 10 several miles
long. These nets are made Of thin cord
and can be slowed away in very small
compass. SAYS the Buffalo Express. \
FISH will swim against the fence of net
ting. get its head caught in the mesh,
Fnd will stay there until taken out by
the fishermen. The nets are kept IN
position in the water by lead Sinkers
on the bottom and cork hobs on top.
The entire net X also anchored secure
". while the spot Is marked by buoy.
Gill nets often come in sections SOC
feet long. and are fastened together IN
gangs. Fishing tugs often set gang
that - over four miles long. Each boat
Is equipped with two gangs.
Pound nets. whose use in New NoTl
waters i prohibited, are used in Obi
and Canadian waters. They form large
reccptaclcs in the water into whicl
| FISH find their way and are prevented

are often caught in pound nets. The
there are also smaller trap nets. fy X
