(By the Associated Press. )

Madison, Wis, March 25.-The low
er House of the Wisconsin Legislature
today deferred till next week action
on the joint resolution to return to
Alabama the battle flag of the First
Alabama regiment. The flag was cap

Fifteenth Wisconsin, the fighting
Norwegian regiment"
The governor of Alabama had re-
quested the return of the flag and the
resolution to return it passed the Sen
ate yesterday. Today's action of the
lower house was the result of pro-
test by survivors of the Fifteenth Wis
consin regiment. Next Wednesday a
new resolution will be introduced pro-
vtding for the return of the trophy
provided the State G.. A. r. Encamp-
ment, to be held in Lacrosse, in June,
sanctions the action to give back the
flag to Alabama.

examined them and rejected the en-
tire lot They were flimsily construct

hesitation in condening them. AS the
life preservers were not actually in

in law against the manufacturers.

 BOARD OF HEALTH.
Judge Fulkerson Decided that Man was Too Sick to be Moved from Depot at
 Walnut Ridge.


 There seems to be quite little friction between the Iron Noun tain railroad company and the Walnut Ridge board of health, says the Walnut Ridge Blade. Our first case of small pox was Perry Hutson, who was an em- ploye of the railroad, and the board of health quarantined him in the old Railroad Hotel, used for a passenger station. The railroad company mandamused our board of health yesterday and cited them to appear in New port and show cause why this patient should not be removed from their property. Col. Chas. Coffin, attorney for the railroad, and w. E. Beloate, attorney for the board of health, accompanied by Dr. J. c. Hughes, president of the board of health, and J. F. Medearis went to Newport yes terday.

 The ten companies represent ed by w. l.. Nelson & Co.,, of Memphis, had offered such bonds, and several other compan- ies had signified their intention of doing likewise. They agreed that this might be done in or der to secure another three weeks business, and that they should retire at the expiration of that time, since it is agreed that they will be unable to do business in the State after March 23.
