CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Banking Department Is Exempt from
Application.

MADISON, Wis, June 22.-[ Special
According to the decision of the SUI
preme court the civil service law stands
as passed by the Legislature, but the
department of Commissioner Of Bank
ing Bergh is relieved from the applica
that the Legislature intended to and did
in fact provide that bank supervision
should not be under the merit law.
Indians up at Ashland won on their ap-
peal to require Indian Agent Campbell to
give them money he holds for timber cut
from their allotment of land. This case
went against the Indians in court below
and the supreme court orders reversal.
This litigation was pressed by Attorney
M. Nj. Tomkins.
The Madison Gas and Electric compa-
ny secured an order of dismissal of the
Joint action of the city and committee of
citizens to reduce rates on gas and elcc-
trio current. The supreme court says

Legislature can make one or can delegate
t. a municipality order to do so.
