Would Remove Capitol.

The senate has Unexpectedly sent to
engrossment the Stevens bills providing
for referendum on the capital location
and authorizing the removal to Oshkosh.
Senator Stevens made strong plea for
his measure. In presenting the claims
of Oshkosh, he presented figures to
show the change in population and COM
mercial and industrial development
since the capital was first located. He
said: "In 1870 the population of the
state was 1,054,670, and south of Fond
du Lac county line there was sos, 433 and
north of the line there was 459, 237. In
1900 the population of the state was
2,069,042, of which the southern part
had 938,786 and the part north of the
line had a population of 1 ,130.256. These
figures, senators, will show you that
this question of removal Of the seat of
government to that part of the state
which is bound to double in population
in the next few years is worthy of seri-
Gus consideration" The bill provides
that the question of locating the capital
shall be submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie on the general election in November,
1906. When the senate came to the bill
authorizing the city of Oshkosh to con-
vey the site to the state for the new
capital. this measure was saved from
indefinite postponement and ordered
to engrossment. In the meantime, Sen
ator Frear, with bill selecting Hudson
as the site of the capital, made one of
the happiest speeches of the session.
This, however, did not save his bill
from defeat Senator Frear acquiescing
in the obsequies.

struck just when we were near it. and
of all the "hark from the tombs' sounds

London, H'engIand.-Dear Uncle Ezra:
The worst is over, and dad and l have
both touched king. Not the way you
think, touching king for a hand-out, or
borrowing his loose change, the way you
used to touch dad when you had to pay
for your goods, but just taking hold OF
his hand, and shaking 1t in good old
United States fashion.
The American minister arranged it for
us. He told somebody that Peck's Bad
Boy and his dad were in town, and just
wanted to size up king, and see how he
averaged up with United States politi-
clans, and the king set an hour for us
to call
Well, you'd dide to see dad fix up.
Everybody said, when we showed our
card at the hotel, notifying us that we
were expected at Marlboro House at such
a time, that we would be expected to put
on plenty of dog. That is what an
American from Kalamazoo, who sells
breakfast food, said, and the hotel peo-
pie said we would be obliged to wear
knee breeches, and dancing pumps, and
silk socks, and all that kind of rot, and
mems furnishers began to call upon us
to take our measure for clothes, but
when they told us how much it would
cost, dad kicked. He said he had golf

of the tournament, that everyone in
Oshkosh said was out of sight, and was
good enough for any king, and so he

socks, and he wore canvas tennis shoes.

century book, but dad looked like a
clown in a circus. One of dads calves
made him look as though he had milk
leg, cause the padding would not stay
around where the calf ought to be, but
worked around towards his shin. We
went to Marlboro House in a hanson cab,
and all the way there the driver kept
looking down from the hurricane deck,
through the scuttle hole, to see If we
were there yet. and he must have talked

hearing before the supreme court, this
time believing that his arguments
would be sufficient to turn the tide in
his favor. However, the case, as far
as this state is concerned, is closed

the commissioner declares that the
mutual organizations have been of real
benefit to the commonwealth and are
the cause of considerable reduction in
rates.

GOOD CORSET COVER.
Notice How the String Is Fastened
Low Down Avoiding the Unruly
Hump at Waist Line.

Corset covers have entirely changed In
appearance since the innovation OF few
years ago of the straight-front corset.
In these days perfectly plain tight-fit-
ting corset cover is an unknown gar
ment, even for the stoutest figures there
is discreet amount of fullness in some
part of the corset cover.
On this page are two patterns, easy to
make, which stand out as the best. This
has been proved by their general adop-
ton by the well dressed woman and
girl. One of these is made with cluster
of few fine plaits in the back. The front
is cut with little blouse, the amount
OF the blouse being regulated by the full
ness of the figure. This corset cover is
made with a straight, snugly fitting

The door opened, and we went in, and
dads misplaced calf was webbing as
though he had locomotor attacks-ye.
Well, there were dozen or so fellows
standing around, and they all had on

on their breasts, and in the midst of
them was little, sawed-Off fat fellow,

of the king of Great Britain, but, gosh, he
is just like Yankee, when you get the
formaiity shook off.
We bowed and dad made a courtesy,
like an old woman, and the king came
forward with a smile that ought to be
initiated by every Englishman. They
all initiate his clothes and his hats and
his shoes, but he seems to be- the only
Englishman that smiles May be it is
patented, and nobody has right to smile
without paying royalty, but the good
natured smile of King Edward is worth
more than stomach bitters, and the Eng
lish ought to be allowed to copy it.

ing I had for the king when he came up
to us and greeted dad as the father of the
bad boy, and patted me on the shoulder
and said: 'And SO you are the boy that

and wonder what was coming next.
You're a wonder. Strange the Ameri-

I said yessir, and tried to look innocent,
and then the king told dad to sit down,
and for me to come and stand by his
knee, and by ginger, when he patted me
on the cheek, and his soft hand squeezed
my hand, and he looked into my eyes
with the most winning eXpessicn, I did
not wonder that all the women were in
love with him, and that all Englishmen
would die for him.
He asked dad all about America, its
institutions, the president, and every
thing and dad just was so fiustered that
he couldn't say much until the king

Attorney General Sturdevant has rem
dered an opinion holding that the Ston-

in the Office of the secretary of the state
at two dollars apiece, is unconstitution-
al, the reasons being that it attempts
to impose license fee upon property
instead of upon an occupation or pro-
fession, that it attempts to license a
right common to all instead of a priv
ilege, that it makes an unfair and unjust
classification of persons, and that it i'm
poses double taxation. The bill will not
be approved by the governor.
