LOWER HOUSE TRANSLATES MUCH
MORE BUSINESS.
PASSES FIRECRACKER LAW
AssembIyman Turner's Measure to do
Away With Giant Crackers Favor
ably Acted Upon-Three Other
Bills Passed-Four Proposed Stat.
utes Slaughtered.

Madison, Feb. "a.
| Yesterday the assembly had the
largest calendar of the session thus
far and waded through considerable
business, passing four measures, en-
crossing one and killing four.
The Roycraft resolution, providing
for a joint committee of the assembly
and the senate to investigate the ques-
ton of change in county government
and report to the next session of the
legislature met it's death.
Measures Passed.
The Carpenter BILL which adds en-
balmers and veterinary surgeons to
the professions exempted from jury
service, was passed; as was also the
Turner bill, regulating the manufac-
ture and sale of firecrackers. If the
senate acts favorably upon the meas
ure the giant cracker is doomed.
A bill by Mr.. Hagarty, detaching
certain territory from the town of Hol-
way in Taylor county and creating the
town of Maplehurst, was passed. Mr..
Ainsworth's bill, relative to filling in
at the foot of Lake Pewaukee and to
erect docks and piers, received favor
able consideration at the hands of the
lower house.
Z Other Proceedings.
The Martin bill, which is an act for
the amending of the inheritance tax
law, was on the calendar for slaughter
but at the request of Mr.. Dahl it was
rereferred to the committee on assess
ment and collection of taxes.
The assembly advanced the Miller
bill, relative to the construction and
maintenance of ferry across the Fox
river in Green Lake county. Mr.. Aid
ridge opposed its engrossment, saying
that it conferred special privilege
and that it ought not to be passed
without some compensation being
given for the privilege. On behalf of
the committee on state affairs Mr..
Coffland said that the construction of
the ferry would mean saving of IA
miles of travel to the people OF that
vicinity and that the actual cost of its
1udluI0IlduC0 WOuIu NC Tic OIAly "a
pense to the people
Bills Slaughtered.
A bill by Mr.. Brockhausen, relating
to the salaries of state officers and
employees, was on the calendar marked
for death. The measure provides in
substance that the employees of the Ia
Dor force in the capitol shall receive
the same compensation per year as
the janitors. The author of the bill
tried to save it by moving it's recon-
mittment to the committee on state
affairs, but the assembly was of diff
ferent opinion and gently put the
measure to sleep.
The Norcross bill, repeating the in
heritance tax law, was indefinitely
postponed. A bill by Mr.. Schauer, re-
Iating to fences on the public high.
way, met the same fate; as did also
one by Mr.. Beer, relative to the re
moval of fences.
| The usual grist of petitions, relative
to the important subjects before the
assembly, was presented. Rev. G. l.
/ Clifford offered prayer. Adjournment
was taken until 10 this morning.

Brilliant Record of a Newspaper Man.

The success hich has attended
William E. Curtis, the famous CORES
pondent of The Chicago Record-Herald,
is rarely attained by newspaper writer's.
Beginning his career in Chicago in 1872
as reporter, he rapidly rose to the posi-
ton Of managing editor. He resigned
that position on receiving govern
ment appointment as secretary of the
South American commission Mr..
Curtis Travelled extensively in Central
and South America, while in this posi-
ton. producing several popular vol
umes as the result Of his literary lab
ors. Afterward cooperating with
Secretary of State James g. Blaine,
Mr.. Curtis organized the work of the
bureau of American republics. with the
result that he was placed in charge of
| that organization, and at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition he distinguished
himself by his labors as the executive
head of the Latin American depart
ment. AS correspondent of The Chic
ago Record Herald Mr.. Curtis travels
have carried him into every section of
the United States as well as into all
quarters of the globe. His China and
Japan letters were published in book
) form; likewise his letters from England,
Germany and France, as well as those
written during his travels in Mexico
and South America.
| No newspaper correspondent pos
sesses the facility shown by Mr.. Curtis
in writing on any of the diversified
subjects embraced in his cOrrespon-
dence and making it luminous. Nor
is any correspondent followed so close
~ year after year by the thousands Of
readers of The Chicago Record Herald
On his recent trip to the Holy Land
Mr.. Curtis letters have been read
! more closely than ever and his discrip-
, lions of that interesting section Of the
globe as it appears to-day have been
quoted everywhere.
