then it began to pour down rain, and
if it don't stop raining pretty soon we
would all go to week.
All gentlemen who dread wood-chop-
ping ought to be in Texas. Our cows
chop the wood, the wind draws the
water, women hoe the corn, and the
men swop horses, lies, spin yarns and
play dominoes. The men swop for an

of the door and calls ont the good
wife and says: "Old woman, amt he
dandyH He is so good and gentle
Just traded for him for a buggy horse
for you. Tend to him good and he
will be fine He's a dandy"
Cotton is late but wheat, oats and
corn are as fine as | ever saw grow.
The old woman is sort Of on the war

STILL ANNOYING
SENATOR EATON
Madison. March n.

MdulSOu, Mafcn 81.
That Seantor Eaton must waive his
legislative immunity from prosecution
and return to Milwaukee for trial on
the two remaining bribery indictments
or else face a searching investigation
by the senate is the determination OF
some members of that body. This has
not been officially announced, but one
who is in position to know said lasN
night that this is the program agreed
upon. The decision was reached yes
terday, he said, by number of sena-
tors, both administration men and
others.
Last night Senator Eaton denied
that he knew of any movement to
force him to give up his seat, saying
that he had received nothing but cor
dial treatment from his colleagues
since his return to the senate.
Senator Frear, one of the men who
wants Senator Eaton to leave the sen.
ate until tried. refused to say anything
about the case. Mr.. Frear mad a long
conference with Attorney Wheeler,
Senator Eatons lawyer, but neither
would discuss what took place at the
meeting. 1t is probable that the Eaton
case will come to a head this morning.

reconsideration Lost.

Senator Burns as he announced
Wednesday. moved that the vote by
which the bill TO exempt from taxa ton
$500 worth of property of old civil war
soldiers who were not worth more
than $4,000 was refused advancement
be reconsidered and that the motion
lie over for a week. Senator Hudnall
offered no objection to the motion TO
reconsider but opposed the laying over
OF the matter for a week. He in
sisted upon an immediate vote, not.
withstanding the remark of Senator
McGilliyray that such IAN objection was
Unprecedented. Senator McHllivray
expressed his impression that the mo
ton could lie over under the rules in
spite Of the objection, but this rule
could not be found. When ii appeared
that the vote was inevitable Senator
Ffear explained that If he were to
vote misunderstanding might result
ana ne asked leave to be allowed to re-
frain from voting He said the motion
TO reconsider was not made at his re-
quest. After some remarks by Sena.
tors Neon and Kreutzer it was
agreed that Senator Frear be allowed
TO refrain from voting on the motion.
Ii was learned that Senator Frear dil
not wish to take advantage of the re-
fusa) Of Senator Eaton to vote. Senator
Frear is active in regard to tolerating
the active participation in the work
of the legislature of man against
whom there remain two charges of
criminal bribery. BY agreement Sen
ator Eaton RETAINED from voting yes
terday and Senator Frear who is on
the opposite side of the exemption
proposition from Senator Eaton, de-
sired not TO permit the possibility Of
the suggestion that his activity
against Senator Eaton arose from un-
fair aggressiveness in behalf of his
bill. The reconsideration asked for
by Senator Burns was refused by the
following vote:
