At last a rebel battle flag captured
by Wisconsin soldiers is going to re-
turn to Dixie, after reposing for forty
years in the museum of the capitol
and state historical library. Tuesday
a communication was read from r. G..
Thwaites, secretary of the State His
torical society, stating that the socie-
ty had received a letter from the gov
ernor OF Alabama, asking for the re-
turn of battle flag taken from the
Perote guards of that state by the
Fifteenth Wisconsin,, Col. Heg COM
handing, at the battle Of Island No.
10, April Z, 1862.
Secretary Thwaites said the socie-
ty held the flag in trust for the state
and cannot comply with the request
of the governor of Alabama without
joint resolution Or other action by the
legislature. Favorable action doubt
less will be taken.
Sixteen bills were on the assembly
calendar for death. Mr.. Carpenter
took the floor in favor of the repeal or
the BARRIERS law. Hagarty said he was
opposed to the law because the bar
bers of his town were. Mr.. Coffiand
wanted action postponed, but the as
sembly refused and the bill was killed
by vote of 60 to 80, so the much
criticised law stands.
The assembly judiciary committee
considered bill to compel paid lobby
lists to do all their work before the
committees. This will make it crime
for them to follow legislators to their
rooms or to attempt to coerce them
by arguments privately in either OF
the houses. 1t is not aimed at men
who are sent here by different cities
to look after the interests OF their To-
cality or municipality. Henry John
son and Speaker Lenroot spoke in
favor of the bill. No one spoke in
opposition. 1t will be favorably re-
ported.

The most sensational debate the
senate has had this session took place
Wednesday. when the Frear bill was
reached at the end of the calendar and
was reported by the committee on as
sessment and collection of taxes for
indefinite postponement.
Senator Frear explained that the
nropOsition was to exempt from taxa
ton Civil war veterans and their
widows property when not exceeding
$500 in value He said that no person
with ample income could profit under
the proposed law, but that it would
helm those deserving ones who would
most appreciate it. He told how many
other states, among them number OF
Southern states, had passed such laws
He read letter from a newspaper,
suggesting that legislation is often de-
bated and discussed over Wine and
cigars in hotels and saloons. The let
ter was the occasion Of some vigorous
personal remarks by Senator Rogers
by way of urging that the dignity OF
the senate be maintained.
Senator Bird, the only Civil war vet
eran of the senate, set forth that
enough had already been done for the
old soldiers in the way OF pensions
and bounties He said that he thought
he represented the old soldiers best
when he said that they did not ask for
such legislation. Senator McGillivray
made a speech in which he strongly
favored the bill. Senator Hudnall eX-
planned the action of the committee.
maintaining that it was a question OF
economics and taxation rather than an
occasion for a display of patriotic py-
rotechnics.
The vote on the question of indefi-
mite postponement, was tie, fourteen
members voting each way. Lieut..
Gov. Davidson broke the tie in favor
of the measure, voting against indefi-
mite postponement. The bill then was
ordered to engrossment and third
reading by the same vote, as follows:
For veterans exemption, Senators
Burns, Frear, Martin, McGillivray,
Merton, Munson, Noble, Rogers,

Senator Roehr secured a delay of a
week in the final passage of the anti
cigarette bill, Notwithstanding the op-
position of Senator Bird. Senator
Roehr said he had not had opportuni-
ty to formulate some amendments
which he contemplated would improve
the measure, and desired that final
action be delayed for week. Sena-
tor Martin said that the objections of
Senator Whitehead, that the law
would be ineffective. would be over

for enforcement. He therefore offered

Two Hundred MIIss Of Lions.

In western India there is place
named Junagadh. 1t is governed by a
ruler called Nawab. This Nawab
has a peculiar fad. 1t is one that
probably no other person in the world
shares with him; at any rate, il any
body else has the same fad, 1t isn't
likely at all that he can indulge 1t as
the Nawab Of Junagadh can, for in his
territory is the great forest OF the
Cir. in whose 200 square miles there
are believed to be more lions and PAN
Tiers than are to be found in any
other part Of the world-and the fad
OF theNawab is lions.
In his territory it is prison Of
tense for a native to kill lion OF
panther; and it is only when visiting
Europeans enter the land that the
Nawab permits any hunting. Very
prominent Europeans know so well
that the Nawab doesn't like to have
his lions shot that they politely de
cline his invitation when he extends
ii, knowing that this will please their
host more than anything that they
could do.
Even the viceroy Of India, who re
Gently visited the Nawab, refrained
from going out to shoot a lion. al
though, Of course, that ruler had made
all preparations for great hunt.
The Nawab naturally has the finesi

frantic by the roars Of free lions
which come out Of the jungle and
prowl around just outside Of the men
