rsIephones in RAILWAY WOrk.

A Buffalo daily paper states that
there are now only three railroads
doing business in e salo which are
not equipped with a private telephone
switchboard service. When ii IS con
sidered that none of the long roads
running into Buffalo has general Of
fees at that point, this statement in
dictates the growing importance OF the
telephone in railway service. Only
a few years back, none of the rail
roads in Buffalo had these facilities.
Certain of the railroads there are now
erecting telephone lines along the
right of way for lOng-distance service

Wisccnsill Legislature.

Madison, March 1.-THE stalwarts
of the senate joined with the demo-
Gratis and some administration mem
bers in overriding the veto of Cover
nor La Toilette of the Merton Till to
increase the jurisdiction of the
county court of Waukesha county and
to prescribe a salary of $40 day for
the stenographic reporter of that
court. Te vote was % to 9 in favor
of passing the bill over the veto.
The debate in favor of the bill was
| led by Senator Merton, who said the
veto was the result of a misap-
prehension on the part of the COVER
nor. Instead of being new legislation
of an unusual sort, as the veto mes
sage had said, the senator argued that
| it was in line with the enactments OF
every legislature.
The Hatten resolution providing
for a conference on the negro problem
at Atlanta next July was laid over
for a week on motion of the author.
There is a growing feeling that the
conference may be ill-advised in view
of the dispatches of an unfriendly
nature from the governors of
southern states.
The assembly bill to appropriate
$4,000 for the home for the feeble
minded was concurred in and the
senate bills to prevent the sale of UNI
sanitary milk and relating to qualifica-
tons, duty and $4,000 salary of the
Assemblyman Cady has raised an
obstacle to his own bill providing for
the election of county school superin-
tendents in the spring and making
their term four years that will be
fatal to it in its present form. The
measure provides that the superin-
tendents shall be chosen at the same
time as supreme and circuit judges,
but the constitution declares that
these judges must be elected at a
time when no state or county officer
is being chosen. OF course a school
superintendent is a county officer,
hence his election concurrently with
judges is out of the question. Mr..
Cady himself raised the point and on
his motion the bill was referred to
the judiciary committee.
Spite fences are to be frowned up
on, rightfully enough. The house
judiciary committe favorably reported
the house bill making it a mis-
demeanor to indulge in such ex-
hibitions of pique. The state affairs
committee reported favorably on the
state bill permitting county boards to
provide for soldiers monuments with
applying the referendum. Senator
O'Neil's bill creating a municipal
court for Sawyer county was con-
Cured in, though there were many
written protests filed in opposition.
Madison, March 1.-TWO important
educational bills were advanced to

the bill increasing the salary of the
state superintendent TO $4,000 while
the bill authorizing the labor COM
missioner TO grant permits 10 chill
dren over u years of age to work
was reported for indefinite post
pOnement.
In the upper house Senator North
asked that the assembly bill to en-
power counties TO give bounties for
the killing OF rattlesnakes be laid
over until March 20 so that he might
have time to study the measure, and
is request was granted. The bill to
reduce the school fund income tax to
an amount equal to a tax OF 7-1O of
a mill was sent to the committee on
claims.

Olympia, Wash, March 14.-An un-
usually perceptible earthquake was
felt in this city last night. The build
ings were shaken so that the occu-
pants ran into the streets in alarm.
Two shocks were felt, lasting nine
seconds. Slight rumblings were heard
also.
Distinct shocks were felt in Seattle
and Tacoma last night.

Madison. March 7-AssembIyman
Robert A Lang's antitrust bin, aimed
particularly at the druggist combine
yet broad enough 10 include all other
conspiracies in restraint of trade,
was passed by the assembly. ii is
sweeping measure and was drafted
at the instance of a pioneer Eau Claire
druggist who found himself unable
to buy from certain wholesalers be
cause he was not a member of a re-
tail druggists organization. The Kin
ney bill which amends the law so as
To require farmers 10 work 10 hours
a day instead of S in road making
was killed, II to %. Mr.. Dahl thought
the bill a good One-that farmers
ought TO work 10 hours, and Mr..
Peterson, Mr.. Morgan and Nh. Baker
argued along the same line while
Messrs. Benson, Carberry, Chandler
and Fridd spoke in opposition, some
holding that farmers could not do
their chores and put in 10 hours on
the highway and others, like Mr..
Benson, insisting that at such hare
work as shOveling gravel hours were
quite enough. Mr.. Root was certain
that Mr.. Baker would regard it so if
he only shoveled 4 hours. Mr.. Rays
bin. exempting from the payment Of
poll tax all persons who go to the
polls and vote but making the tax So
on all male adults who neglected that
duty was killed and the governors
veto of the bill forbidding the importa-
ton of western horses into the state
unless accompanied by clean bill of
health was unanimously sustained.
The assembly evidently feels full
confidence in county boards, because
it refused by an overwhelming vote
to reconsider the vote by which it
had ordered 10 a third reading the
senate bill permitting boards to make
APPROXIMATIONS not exceeding $4,000
for soldiers monuments without sub
hitting the matter to popular vote.
Senator Wipperman's bill, the practi-
cal effect of which is TO forbid whole
salers from selling liquor TO minors,
was sent to the committee on health
and sanitation because the members
did not fully understand its purport.
A new phone bill came from the state
affairs committee. 1t provides for an
increase of the license fee on gross
earnings from to per cent. on com
panies doing a gross business OF $780,
900 or more a year and from "a TO
per cent. where the earnings are less.
Senator Stout's bill, increasing the
salary of the state superintendent TO
s.. 900. and another to provide that the
commissioners of taxation be state
board of assessment for the taxation
of express and sleeping car com
NAMES were concurred in. In the up
per house the bill, providing that chill
dren between the ages of z and 10, not
regularly and lawfully employed, shall
attend some public, parochial or prl-
vate school in cities eight months and
in towns, villages and districts not
less than five calendar months was
laid over till March %. The so-called
BARRIERS bill, on the calendar for in
definite postpOnement, was laid over
for one week on request OF Senator
Hudnan.

MY father!" she replied, He is
not at home"
The blue eyes looked into his for
moment, then they fell, and a soft
color like that of the fairest petal of
| a rose covered her face; the dark
eyes looking at her were so full OF
passionate admiration that she
could not raise her own TO his
again.
Not at home" repeated Sir Basil.
Il am sorry for that. was to see
him today, and have walked some
distance. Have / your permission TO
wait until he returns?"
She looked slightly confused at
first; then she felt that it would be
impossible TO refuse. She was only
too pleased that her father shOu.d
have a call from so pleasant visitor
You can wait If you wish to do
so" she replied; but The hour of his
return is quite uncertain"
IF you will allow me, will risk
it, he said. Il do not think any one
could find a more beautiful spot than
this in which to while away the
time"
He sat down on the pretty rustic
bench, which was so placed that one
could see the incoming tide. The
waves were rolling in grandly; the
wind had freshened, and they broke
in sheets of white foam. The sun
light lay on the sea and on the shore,
on the white cliffs and on the green
hill;' it fell DIN the golden hair and
sweet face opposite TO him. A feel
ing of perfect rest came over him, of
happiness such as in his whole life
ne had never known before.
For a few minutes they were
silent Hettie did not raise her eyes
from her work, and he wondering
why the presence of this one woman
made so great a difference TO him.
No man living had a keener sense of
honor than Sir Basil, but it stole
upon him unawares, this sweet glamor
Of love, and had made its home in his
heart long before he knew that it was
there.
Il heard you singing in church last
Sunday" he said. Il have teen stay
ing in this neighbOrhood for some
time. You have a very beautiful
voice; / was quite delighted with IT,"
4 am fond of music" she answered
above all things, l am fond of sing
ing; it is the one pleasure of my life.
/ forget everything else when / sing"
is there so much in your life that
YOU would like 10 forget" he asked,
suddenly-"so young a life as
yours"
Her thoughts flew to Leah. Surely
no one in the world had so much to
forget as she, who had lost this
best beloved sister.
Il am not sure" she replied.
There are some things l should like
TO think less about"
She did not wish to forget Leah,
but she would gladly have thought
less s4Iterly of her loss. While sing
ing she forgot the keen pain, but
never the cause of it.
4 should not have thought" he
said, that you had had any trouble
in life. You are young, and your face
has something OF the JOY of childhood
in it."
She smiled and flushed when she
saw his eyes, SO full of admiration,
bent upon her.

Then he talked TO her of the
country, of the sea, and of her father,
and he was delighted with her en-.
thusiasm about him. If the scales
had fallen from her eyes, she would
not adm-I it even TO herself. With
all the force of her loving, tender
nature, she chung not only TO her
father as he actually was, but even
10 the ideal she had formed of him
IL was touching to hear her speak OF
him; in his fallen estate he was even
greater in her eyes than he had been
before. His discomfort, irritation
anger, and gloom made no difference
10 her; his words TO her were always
fun OF wisdom. IL was natural that
he should feel hurt; the world, sne
believed, had been cruel to him-had
under-valued him and ill-used him
II gentle Hctt!e in her heart hated
anything, il was this world which
mad not given himself the trouble Ia
worth. She did not know much
about his doctrines and belief; he
had no given himself the trouble to
, teach her. She had every quality
that went TO make a noble woman
tut she was not talented.
There was always that line be
tween Leah and Hettie. Leah had
genius; she had the touch of divine
fire that separates those who have il
from the whole world. Martin Ray
knowing this, had never tried tC
teach Hettie; she was the better able
10 love him.
There must be good" Sir Basi
said 10 himself, lin one who is loved
as she loves her father"
And, though the duke. in his quiet
naughty way, had denounced him
Martin Ray rose from that moment
in Sir Basif's estimation.
When once Hettie had lost hel
shy, embarrassed manner, she talke,
To Sir Basil with all the ease anC
grace that were natural to her. He
told her OF the picture in the Acad

about it, and i'm her turn related how

Exciting Times in Windy City, Where the
Blue Goats, Club in Hand, Have All
They Can Do to Hold Down
the Turbulent Elements.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Chicago, H., Nov. ai.-frospects of a
settlement Of the street car strike seemed
brighter today than at any time since the
walkout The leaders on both sides in
clined to this view, basing their hopes
largely on the get together spirit mani
tested by those in authority When the
work of mediation resumed today, how
ever, there were still too many questions
unsettled to warrant a confident prediction
OF an early settlement.
Mayor Harrison and his mediation COM
mittee of aldermen assembled early at the
city hall to receive reports OF the progress
of negotiations. Announcements of the
fact that the company had refused the serv
ices of well known strike breaker, gave
them much encouragement
Four lines of the city railway company
were in operation today as on yesterday.
To avoid attacks by pickets or other
persons, closed carriages were employed
to convey supplies to the power houses and
barns where the non-union men are quar-
tered. This ruse worked successfully.
Riots General.
A riot in which several thousand women
and children took part occurred OH Archer
avenue today. The mob which gathered TO
intercept a number of wagons under escort
conveying food TO the car barns, charged
the police and constables, shouting and
throwing stones.
The rioters we're finally driven back and
consoled themselves by burning wagon
previously wrecked in the vicinity of the
barns.
Sensational rumors that an attempt had
been made to blow up cars on the Went
worth avenue line by means Of dynamite
caps proved groundless. Three railroad
signal torpedoes fastened to the rails were
at first believed to contain dynamite.
The conference between Attorneys Bliss
and Darrow, which it is believed will mark
a crisis in the negotiations, was post
poncd until this evening owing to Mr.
Darrow's presence being necessary in
court.

Italian Laborers Asleep in
Death-Cage When
Fire Starts.
q ARE MERE EMBERS
Some Who Escaped Went
Back for Effects and
Died in Flames.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 2I.-While over
100 Italian railroad laborers were asleep
in shanty near Lilly, Pa, on the Penn
sylvana railroad, early today, the build
Ing caught fire and before the men could
escape at least az were burned to death
and score or more were seriously in
jured.
The men were employed by McMenan
& Sams on the Pennsylvania road inn
provement between Lilly and Portage.
There we're 500 on the job, all Italians,
and in the shanty which burned were
Ia5 Of these.
The shanty was about 100 feet long,
one story in height and built in the usual
style Of such quarters.
The eastern end was devoted to the
cooking and eating, while the men slept
in hunks like sardines in can in the
western end. There was only one door
at each end and the windows were few
and small
Overheated Stove.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove in the eastern
end. The building burned like tinder and
the flames were upon the men before any
of them were aroused. Then began a
struggle for the outside and life. They
fought and scrambled for the doors, and
the weaker were crushed down and
trampled. Others were roasted to death
there.
Those who strove for the doors were
in the widest sort of panic They fought
and kicked, and among those who escaped
there are many who bear marks Of the
fierce strife which took place in this
battle for life A few got out of the
small windows, minus clothing and with
their bodies cut from broken glass.
Many of those who did manage TO get
out had their savings OF years in their
trunks, which they left behind them in
the building. Remembering this fact as
soon as they got outside they fought just
as fercely to get back. A few succeeded,
but for the sake of their boarded money
they gave up their lives.
Not One Escaped.
One eye witness says he does not be-
Geve that single man of those who re-
turned succeeded in getting out again.
In the ruins today some Of the corpses
were close beside the hooped bands of
their trunks, and melted gold and silver
which had been kept in those receptacles
indicated that they had fallen and died
with their treasure in their arms.
The bodies were all practically burned
TO pieces An Italian who looked at them
today and who knew every man in the
shanty, was unable to identify a single
one.

OREGON LEGISLATURE
IN AN EXTRA SESSION
Called by Governor Chamberlain to Act
on the Tax Situation.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Salem, Ore, Nov. 2I.-Governor Cham-
berlain today issued call to the mem
bers OF the legislative assembly Of the
state OF Oregon commanding them to meet
at the capitol building in this city on
Monday, December II, 1903, for the pur-
pose Of convcninR an extraordinary ses-
sion Of the legislature to enact laws to
provide for levy Of taxes on assess
ment rolls for the year 1903.
This call was made necessary from the
fact that defect existed in the act
passed by the legislative assembly Of
1903, providing the manner Of assessment
and the levy and collection Of taxes,
known as the Phelps law. The Phelps
law repealed the old law but did not pro-
vide for tax levy for 1903, thus leaving
the state and counties without revenue
from taxation for an entire year.

INSPECT THE CAFES
HEALTH OFFICER AND SANITARY
INSPECTOR FINDS THEM RE-
MARkABLY CLEAN.

Two cases Of diphtheria and two of
scarlet fever-and none OF these serious
at n season when contagious disease
cases in years past have been numbered
by scorcs--that is the remarkable showing
made by the city Of Butte at the present
time
The reasons for this surprising condi-
ton Of the city as to health are not far
to seek. Never before in the history Of
the place have all sections of the city
been so closely and continuously watched
as during the incumbency of Health
Officer Sullivan and his assistant, Sanitary
Inspector Spencer
The efforts OF these men, as the records
will show, have resulted in reducing con-
tagiouS diseases to the minimum in Butte
In other years there have been within the
city as many as so cases of contagious
diseases, and the mortality rates were high
Now there is practically no contagious
diseases in the city.
The health officer accompanied the
sanitary inspector in the lauer's tour
OF inspection OF the restaurants of the
town. Fifteen places were visited, mostly
OF the cheaper sort, and some Of them
conducted by Cinnamon. According to
DIR. Sullivan's statement, the result Of the
inspection showed conclusively that the
work of Sanitary Inspector Spencer had
been effective.
In only one case was restaurant
kitchen found contaminated by bad odor,
and this was Of SO mild character that
the abuse was easily remedied In all
others the kitchens were found remarkably
clean.

kitchens of many large hotels in various
