ANOTHER reform bill is about to be
put on record down at Madison. This
particular bill is another one of Govern
or LaFollett's pet measures and has
been introduced with view to Great
ing railway commission to regulate
freight rates. In speaking of the bill
the Merrill Advocate says: eve I'M
derstand that the business men all over
she state are organizing to prevent,
if they can, the passage of this
last reform measure OF the governors.
We doubt il they can accomplish any
ge0l. The governor IS ia the saddle
40 Md son and h will ride rough ST od
ever the business interests of Wiscon-
sin. Wisconsin is going through tC
day what Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
Michigan and other states where popu-
Gsm has gained a foothold, have gone
through. LaFOllette and reform will
cost the state of Wisconsin millions of
dollars in retarding the development
of the state and in unsettled business
conditions"

Luck in New Easter Clothes.

It is considered unlucky to omit
wearing new clothes on Easter day.
This superstition seems to be about
the only one connected with the sea-
son which is generally observed in this
country, but there is a strong suspicion
that the milliners, dressmakers and
haberdashers are banded together TO
keep alive this custom, much to their
own profit.

hearing this morning to the representatives
Of the Dominican Fathers, who are con-
structing what is to he known the Coll
lege of the Immaculate Conception. near
the Catholic University, and affiliated there
with. The building is to include dormi-
tories for the accommodation of eighty
students and is above the height that such
buildings are allowed to be of non-fire-
proof construction. A question has arisen
as to the manner of building the roof, the
college authorities. represented by the
architects and builders, claiming that
through one system of fireproofing which
they propose for the Gothic roof. they will
save $4,000 over the cost of the style or
fireproofing said to be favored by the build
ing department.
The college authorities were represented
by Mr. John Spaulding Flannery as attor-
ney who went into the matter quite thor
oughly and explained that the style or
roof proposed for the college Will come
within the requirements of the law. The
character of the building and the COM
