Williamsport Sun.
An effort is being made to have
the Legislature enact law requiring
the acts passed by that body pub
lished in two newspapers in each
county in the eistate. The Legislat-
ure has been passing so many laws
that it is impossible for the people
to know what they are reduired to
do or prohibited from doing, hence
the old axiom that IGNORANCE Of
the law is no excuse" il an unjust
proposition. The general public
may well he excused for being un-
acquainted with the many laws now
on the statute books of Pennsylva-
MIA
The cost of publishing the acts
passed bienniaIly by the Legislature
would be considerable, but the pco-
pie who would be benefited there
by would count the expense ASA
slighl matter. 1t would be q great
saving to the people if they were
made acquainted with the laws which
humanity is so prone to violate un-
consciously. Let the laws be pub
lished in the interest Of the people
who now suffer for lack Of such pub
lication.

to congressman began on December
|. Each songressmen is entitled to
10000 packages of Vegetable and 500
packages of flower seeds. The best
varieties of vegetable seed have been

been adopted for the distribution.
The country has been divided into
sections according to climate, and
seeds will not be sent into districts
in which climatic conditions are
known to be unfavorable to their
growth. For cities and large towns
special arrangements will be made
that the dwellers therein may be
furnished with such garden and
flower seeds as will be most desirable
to them. Packages will ba prepar-
ed for the cities containing flower
seeds that will bloom successfully in
yards, alleys and window boxes.
Special attention will be given to
the selection of appropriate seeds
for schools.

Wisconsin's Beautiful Capitol DESTROYED by Fire

partially ruined building disclosed
the fact that the entire building
below the first story, that is, the
basement and foundation, with the
exception of two small pieces OF
ceiling is unchanged. The outer
walls of the first story are not serious
ly damaged. The second story walls
of the south wing are not damaged
The center dome and foundation
were saved .structurally. The
entire north wing was saved, ex-
cept windows, stained walls and
ceilings.
The loss is declared by experts
to be about $500, 600.
The state library is in the library
building and is valued at 81, 900, 600.
1t formerly occupied the burned
portion of the capitol.
The first capitol was built in
Madison in the spring of 1887. In
June work was commenced on the
capitol; it's corner stone was laid
with appropriate ceremonies upon
July 4.
The legislature met for the first
time in Madison, Nov. 26, 1888.
The capitol was not then in suitable
condition for the sessions which
were held in the basement of the
old American house, where Gov.
Dodge delivered his annual message.
Here the legislature met and
adjourned from day to day, until
temporary arrangements could be
made for the reception of members
in the assembly hall. During
1886 and 1887 the national govern
ment appropriated $40, 200 for the
capitol, Dane county $4,000, and
the territorial legislature about
$16, 900; making the complete cost
of the old capitol 100000. The
building, when finished, was a
substantial structure, which, in
architectural design and con-
venience of arrangements, at the
time compared favorably with the
capitols of adjacent and older states.
The capitol proving inadequate
to the growing wants of the state
the legislature of 1857 provided
for it's enlargement. By this act,

the commissioners of the school
and university land were directed
to sell ten sections of land APP
propriated by congress for the
completion of public buildings,
and applied the proceeds toward en-
larging and improving the capitol.
The state also appropriated
$50, 900 for the same object and
$50, 900 was given by the city of
Madison. The work was begun in
the fall of 1857, and continued
from year to year until 1869, when
the dome (the most satisfactory
portion of the structure) was COM
pleted.
The legislature of 1882 APP
propriated 100000 for the con-
struction of two transverse wings
to the capitol, one the north and
the others on the south sides
thereof. in order to provide
additional room for the State
Historical society, the Supreme
court, the state library, and for
the increasing stats of the state
offices. Nov s, 1883, the south
wing fell while in the process Of
construction, an accident which led
to the death of eight workmen.
The height of the building from
the basement to the top of the
flagstaff is 2259 feet, while the total
length from the north to the south
exclusive of steps and porticoes) is

Wisconsin's handsome capitol
building at Madison was partially
destroyed by fire Saturday morning.
The fire started about 4 o'clock
from a gas jet in a cloak room
on the second floor adjoining the
assembly postoffice, and spread
with such rapidity as to battle the
local firemen, who we're handicapped
because of a lack of force sufficient
to throw water to the top of the
building. Two companies came
from Milwaukee and assisted in
extinguishing the flames.
Gov. LaFollette and the other
state officers were early on the
ground, and on learning that the
building could not be saved, or
ganized force of 500 men, who
carried out tons of valuable
documents, including the state rec
ords. Nearly everything in this
line was saved but property in the
following offices: tax commission,
bureau of statistics, Legislative
library, free library commission,
memorial hall, state superintend-
ent of public property, dairy and
food commission, game warden,
normal regents, board of agri-
culture.
Many valuable relics were lost
in the flames, including all of the
priceless mementoes of the G. A.
r. memorial hall, of which the
stuffed body of "Old Obe," the
war eagle, was a part.
The loss to the state is complete,
as the state carried it's own risks
on state buildings by act of legis-
lature of 1901.
The property saved from the
building is to be stored temporarily
in the university buildings. The
various departments are taking
offices all about the city whereve r
vacant rooms may be found.
Gov. LaFollette and other state
officers are considering the advis-
ability Of calling a special session
of the legislature to expedite the
work of cleaning up the rubbish
and rebuilding.
