CUT OUT POLITICS
AND DO SOME WORK.
Indications That the Next Legislature
Intends to Accomplish Some
thing.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 90 Special. ]
From advance Indications" said Dr..
Charles Mccarthy, librarian of the Wis
tconsin Legislative Reference library,
1.-THE coming session of the Legislature
is going to be one of the most important
in the recent history of the state.
From letters received by this depart
ment and from what little personal ac-
,duaintance [ have had with the men,
hers who will answer the roll call at
the next session, l believe that they are
Ian unusually strong body of men. They
seem intent upon banishing the factlonai
chickering's which have marked the re-
cent sessions and get down to actual ac-
icomplishment in the way OF reform
measures, progressive but conservative,
irrespective of any undue influence from
the lobby on the one side or dlctatlon Oh
ANY political boss on the other.
THE day of the old lobby at Madison
has gone by Not for years at least VIII
Ithe special interests become so lnsolent
and arrogant at the capitol as they were
a few sessions ago. from what nave
bepn able TO Judge of the men who are
lgoinr to convene here next month, they
are n determined, serious, business-lke
lot who seem anxious to clean up good
hit of business for the state and do right
irrespective of what the results may be
and who may like 1t or who may not
like it."
Plans are being made to simplify and
gystematize the routine work OF the
LEGISLATURE The new rules, which were
adopted at the end of the last session,
will be slightly amended and will be en-
forced for the first time, inauguratlng
several changes in the methods of pro-
cedure. A force of employees has been
put 10 work to cut up and index the
statutes and add all the annotauons on
the card index system in such way
that every bill introduced in the Legis-
lature pertaining or in any way affect
ing any section of the statutes can be
added so that the members can see at
a glance what the present laws are and
how it is proposed to change them. The
committee on revision will carefully scan
every measure just before it is ready to
be recommended for passage, to see that
it is worded correctly and has no consti-
tutional errors, and that its provisions
comply with its intended purpose and do
not repeal or affect any other law which
the lawmakers had not taken into con-
sideration. Bills are to be introduced
fiat instead of folded as heretofore, and
wooden boxes with a partition for each
bill. together with all data and argu-
ments and briefs and so forth pertaining
to IT,

RESCUES CHILD FROM FIRE
Miss Minnie Reyer Dashes Into Burning
House and Saves Babe Which
Had Been Forgotten.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 21.--
Dashing through a burning building,
Miss Minnie Reyer rescued the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. *. Oberle,
726 Winnebago street, from suffocation
during fire at their home, which was
caused by Il leak in a gas pipe.
Miss Reyer is Sheboygan girl, sis
ter of Mrs. Oberle. A leakage of gas
was called to the attention of the gas
company and two workmen were sent
to the Oberle home to make repairs.
Going into the basement one of the men
struck a match, which caused an ex-
plosion. The force of the shock knocked
out the bricks from the foundation and
started a fire which caused $1,000 dam
ages. The workmen were taken out Of
the basement uninjured.
The infant daughter was lying in a
room on the first floor and in the eX-
element was forgotten until Miss Reyer
thought of its plight and rushed through
the smoke, which filled the house, and,
snatching the baby from its bed, sue
ceeded in gaining the street.
