Washington, Feb. 16. - The senate
yesterday passed to the consideration
of the Joint statehood bill and for an
hour and a half listened to a speech
by Mr.. Dick in support of the bill.
Mr.. Dick did not conclude his speech
and as he was not prepared to resume
to-day the senate decided not to sit
again until Monday.
The morning hour prevailed in
the house yesterday until after 5
O'Clock. The net result was the pass
age of a bill to increase to $4,000 a
year the federal appropriation to each
state and territory for the support of
agricultural experiment stations; and
a bill repeating the present law grant
ing American register to foreign ships
wrecked and repaired on the Ameri-
can coast in the discretion of the Sec
rotary of the department of commerce
and labor and requiring a special act
of congress to grant such register.
An indirect compliment was paid to
Mr.. Longworth by a vote to adjourn
until Monday, although nothing will
appear in the Record of this purpose

luton will be fayorably reported to the

Great Northern Reports on Per Cent
Basis Earnings of Old System.
st. Paul, Feb. 22.-The Great North
ern Railway company refuses to pay
the per cent gross earnings tax.
State authorities got first news of the
company's intention to contest the
new law yesterday, when the COM
pany's statement was filed with the
railroad commission. A separate
statement is filed for the main sys-
tenn, which is leased from companies
having the 3 per cent charters. The
earnings for the year were $1S,54O,-
369.27, and the company computed the
tax at per cent, making it $685.
211.89.
The clerk of the railroad commits
sion crossed out these figures, insert
ing 4 per cent instead of 8, and max
ing the tax $741 ,615.85 The state au-
ditor will make his draft for the lat
ter amount and turn it over to the
state treasurer for collection. The
company has already paid $45O,OOO,
and will pay the rest of the per cent
tax. The attorney general will bring
suit to collect the $185, 403.96 that is
held back, and this will precipitate a
great legal battle.

ROMANCE LEADS TO SUIT.
Mrs. Margaret Lonstorf Defendant II
Suit for $750,O00.

Mrs. Margaret LonStorf DEFENDANT IN
Suit for $750,000.
The s75O,0OO alienation of affections
suit against the family of Mrs. Margar,
eta Lonstorf came on for trial in
Judge Ludwig's court in Milwaukee.
The suit is brought by Mrs. Lonstorf
against the family of her husband and
charges in brief that the Lonstorfs
forced her husband to desert her
The plaintiff has become insane
since the suit was first started, and
the guardian, John Randall, in whose
name it is now to be brought, has
filed an additional allegation in which
it is intimated that the desertiOn of
her husband was at least partially re-
sponsible for the wOman's insanity.
She is now in the county insane
asylum, though the family to which
her husband belonged is alleged in the
papers filed in the case to have an in
come of $1,000,000 a year.
The suit is sensational in the eX-
IRENE, with the exception that in it's
whole course there is likely to be
brought no allegation of improperly
on either side, the suit differing in
this from all of the recent cases in
which families of millionaires have
been involved.
Otto Lonstorf met Emma Spahl
when she was a clerk in a department
store and when her father was a jan
itor in the public schools. Otto, the
husband, was the youngest of ten
sons. He had been reared in luxury,
and from his position in society the
saleswoman did not believe his inten-
lions were honorable and for years
held him off.
Finally, however, despite the objec-
lions of the Lonstorfs, the marriage
was solemnized Then began series
of prosecutions of the young couple,
according to the complaint 1t is
charged that as soon as Otto would Sc
cure work to support his wife, the in
fluence of his family would cause him
to 10 Sc his position. Finally, she al
legged, she was deserted because of her
mental condition and a divorce Sc
cured. Then she began the suit against
the family.-W.

from Seymour, was found late at night

Two blanks with which the well
had been covered had been removed
and two others had been broken. the
tracks in the snow were so thick that
if was impossible to tell if any one
accomnanied the woman to the scene
of the tragedy. It is believed that she
met her death by foul means, as there
is no reason known as to why she
should have committed suicide. When
she left the house in the morning she
left her sixteen-months-Old baby alone
in the house. and when the child was
discovered by a neighbor girl, Miss

Wisconsin to File Big Claim Against
Federal Government.
The state land commissioners in
structed Attorney General Sturdevant
to file and press the claim of Wiscon-
sin against the United States govern
ment for 100000 acres of land which
the federal government got paid for
but for which Wisconsin has not re-
ceived any pay. 1t is estimated by
State Treasurer Kempf, who brought
the matter to the attention of the
land commissioners, that Wisconsin
is entitled to at least 100000 from
the federal government in this mat
ter.
Attorney General Sturdevant was
federal land department at Washing
ton to the matter, and to ask Sena-
tors Spooner and La Toilette to sup
port bill which has been drafted to
indemnity Wisconsin against the loss.
Agent Comstock will also be asked to
look after the states interests in this
matter. The controversy grows out
Of an agreement between the federal
and state governments twenty-six
years ago, when the federal land Of
flee formally acknowledged that the
state was entitled to indemnity or
restoration of 100000 acres of land
which had been classed as swamp
lands.
State Treasurer Kempf has worked
up this matter and says that he will
push it to a successful end. Attorney
General Sturdevant is expected TO
leave for Washington in day or two.
The entire board of state land COM
missioners would accompany him II
it were not for pressing official duties

feels highly pleased at the prospect
of the state being able to regain $780,

which money, he believes, rightly be-
longs to Wisconsin.-W

Secretary Hitchcock to Be Asked to
Issue Order.
In an effort to clear the title to
many acres of land in the state which
is now held by white citizens, but was
formerly owned by Indians, Attorney
General Sturdevant will appear be-
fore Secretary Hitchcock of the In
terror department at Washington next
week and ask for an order for re-
moval Of the cloud. By treaty with
the Indians the government in lS43
secured possession Of large tracts or
lands in certain localities in the ter
~itory which later became the state
of Wisconsin, Congress later gave
section 16 in every township to the
state for school purposes. The state
government formally accepted the
Gift. In 1854 the federal government
attempted to give back much OF this
land to the Indians. In the meantime
sections 16 in many Of the townships
had been sold by the state to settlers,
and are still so occupied. These own
ers have asked the state government
to clear the titles to their lands.
