HAS CIVIL SERVICE BILL.
AssembLyman Warren Will IRE
sent New Merit Law.
MANY GOOD FEATURES.
Working of System in Other States Has
Been Examined and Best
Points Noted.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 23.-[Special.1 i
Earnest n. Warner, assemblyman from
the Madison district, is preparing to
spring a surprise ON the Legislature, in
the shape of a civil service bill, to pro-
tect all employees of the state in their
positions and to provide that vacancies
shall be filled by a board from appli-
cants who have passed satisfactory ex-
aminations.
The idea is not a new one, but it has
many features that are an improvement
on things heretofore discussed. Mr..
Warner has studied the laws of Massa-
chusetts, Illinois and New York on the
subject and his proposed bill Will en-
brace all the features that have been
found satisfactory in those states.
Will Remove Political "Pull."
One feature that is certainly good, in
the proposed measure, is the fact that 1t
intends to remove political pull from
the requisites for getting or retaining a
job. It is intended that the law shall
apply to game wardens, oil inspectors
and employees Of that class, in addition
to the clerks in the various departments
of the capitol, so that efficiency will pro-
tect man in the job he has.
To Include Institution Heads.
There is also talk of so extending the
law that it will apply to the various
charitable and penal institutions, but it
is doubtful whether it should go beyond
the heads of the institutions. Giving the
superintendent tenure during good be-
havior would be wise, but there is doubt
full expediency in the idea of holding
him responsible for the conduct of the
place, without giving him authority to
make appointments and dismissals as he
thinks fit. In theory this thing might
do, but it would be found wrong in prac-
tice and cumbersome in execution.

THE Old Clothes Man." the play writ
ten by James X. MacCurdy, formerly Of
the Thanhouser stock company, Milwau-
kee, was given its first presentation on
any stage, in this city last evening. Mr..
MacCurdy carried off the honors of the

Miss Kate Toncray, as Rachel Levi,
his daughter, gave a pleasing rendition

much ability in the part awarded her.
The piece was handsomely staged. The
prize ring scene in the fourth act, in

ESCH is CANDIDATE.
Congressman Announces Himself for
Quarles' Seat in the
Senate.

La Crosse, Wis, Dec 23.-[Special.1
Friends of Congressman John j. Esch
held a conference with him last night,
after which it was announced that he is
to be from this time on an active candi-
date for the United States Senate to sue
coed Senator Quarles. Mr.. Esch has not
been in La Crosse since the question Of
senatorShip arose, having been in Pana-
ma OH a congressional investigation COM
mittee and having gone direct to Wash
ington from New Orleans, where the par
ty landed. Up to this time the boom has
been conducted OH the part of Mr.. Esch' S
friends. The result was that upon his
return to Washington he was surprised
to ind the sentiment there favOrlng his
candidacy. He was more surprised upon
getting into Wisconsin to find that the
sentiment was still stronger than he had
thought from indications at the national
capital.
The Esch boomers have the Seventh
congressional district members of the
Legislature solid with the exception of
Assemblyman Durland, who was elected
on Quarles platform and will have to
stay by Quarles until it is demonstrated
that Mr.. Quarles cannot win, then he
will be for Mr.. Esch. Besides the Sew
enth district, Mr.. Esch's friends claim he
is making inroads on the other candidates
in their own territory and it is confidently
expected that he will get at least a por-
ton Of the Quarles strength. The Esch
men do not count on Gov. La Toilette
being a candidate.

Among things that are 10 come before
the Legislature will be bill which In
surance Commissioner Host is preparing,
to do away With reciprocal legislation III
the taxation of Insurance companies. lie
says that thirty-three states now have
reciprocal lawson the principle Of you

and that in that manner millions of dol
lars escape bearing their just taxes. He
proposes to break up this combine 1t pos
sible and have each state run its own
taxation business without either benefits
or reprisals, based on what others do.
Union Building for Students.
One of the things determined on by the
university regents is to ask the Legisla-
ture for 100000, with which to erect a
union building where all students can
meet for social purposes, and which will
also run lunch counters and a general
dining hall, where meals will be fur
nished cheap and good
The main argument to be used in favor
of the idea is that it would tend to keep
the students out of saloons to have a
place for them to meet and enjoy them
selves.
Lawyer Thiele There.
The Socialists are said to have en-
gagged Milwaukee lawyer named Thiele,

LOST IN THE WILDERNESS,
Unfortunate Woodsman WanderS Six
Nights and Days in the
Forest.

Ashland, Wis, Dec. 23.-[Speciall J.
After wandering six days and nights over
half frozen swamps and through path
less forests, George Lewis of Pratt was
discovered by the employees of a cedar
camp yesterday and was brought to
Ashland. Both feet and one hand will
have to be amputated, and both knees
and elbows are frozen.
Lewis, who is a teamster, left for a
camp six miles from Pratt a week ago.
A blizzard setting in he lost his way. He
remembers his experiences for two days
and nights, in which he was attacked by
a lynx as he lay half stupeied on q
fallen tree top, and spent part of one
night in a tree, where he was driven by
wolves.
The snow is three or four feet deep in
the timber and Lewis was unable to
make much progress. When found he
was only about five miles from where he
started. In taking him to the station his
rescuers came upon his tracks where he
crawled in a circle probably for two or
three days His frozen limbs will be am
putated, providing he does not succumb
before that.
