TOO MANY BILLS.
Senator Smith Sounds Warning About
Railroad Legislation.

Senator F. Dumont Smith says that
there are too many grandstand play
ers getting into the railroad legislation
business, and that the two railroad
committees are being swamped under
a load of bills on the subject which
are utterly worthless, and in many
instances introduced for the sole pur-
pose of getting the parents name into
the newspapers.
Senator Smith has devoted much
time to the subject of railroad legis-
latiOn. and has conferred long and
earnestly with the supreme court in
an effort to get line on railroad leg
islation which would stand before the
higher courts as constitutional.
Upon seeing a two column headline
in a morning paper concerning one of
the railroad bills. Senator Smith said:
1.-THE present danger in the matter
of railroad legislation is in the flood
of bills now pouring into the leglsla-
ture, many of them drawn without
of constitutional limitations For in
stance there is a bill recently intro
duced by Mr.. Stubs providing for an
appeal direct from the board of rail-
road commissioners to the supreme
court In other words. an appeal

sufficient trouble to consider and dis
pose of bills drawn with some knowl-
edge of the law, and 1t Is to pc hoped
that those who really desire railroad
regulation will take the trouble ana
pains to know whether the matter
covered by their bills is not already

would stand the test of the courts.

MUSICALE.

Last Saturday evening, Mr.. and Mrs
w. IL. Bissell entertained over 100 of
their friends ut reception and must
Gale, given at their handsome home on
Warren street, and the occasions afford
ed brilliant entertainment to the lovers
of music there assembled The mem
bers gof the receiving party were MIR.
and Mrs. Bissell, Mr.. and Mrs. G. f.
Turner. Mr.. and Mrs VIM Gamble and
Mrs. VIM Gan BILE.
The lower room decorations were of
cut flowers loses, yellow janq nils and
carnations. Cones Fourth Regiment
orchestra occupied a place on the first
landing of the stairway and a program
of concert numbers was rendered dur
ing the reception hour
The home is admirably arranged for
an event of the nature OF Saturday
evening. The parlor grand piano was
placed in the west side of he drawing
room and it was an easy matter to
place seats in this and adjoining rooms
sufficient for all present and where
each performer could be seen and
heard
Those who took part in the program
were Miss Bessie Greenwood, soprano,
of Milwaukee; Mrs. L. V Speer, plan
list, Wausan; Miss Della Thayer violin
list, Wausau, and Mr.. Alfred wilson, of
Arbor Vitae, baritone.
At about the hour of nine O'Clock,
the genial host, Mr. Bissell, made
brief announcement, handing the pro
gram over to Mr.. Wilson, requesting
him to acquaint the audience with the
various numbers on the same.
The opening number was by Mrs
Speer, and her selection was ably rem
dered and added to the pleasure of the
occasion. The accomplishments were
also by Mrs Speer and they were of her
usual high order.
Miss Greenwood, tho widely known
in Southern Wisconsin, had never been
heard before by Wausau audience,
and her numbers were exceedingly well
selected and greatly appreciated. She
possesses pure, refined soprano voice,
delightful in quality and which she
easily controls, and her vocalization is
very clear and distinct.
Miss Thayer and Mr. Wilson have
often been heard in concerts in Wau-
sau, and it is unnecessary for the PILOT
to say more than that their work was
fully up to expectations.

come to close, these will be moved into
another district, until twenty districts
have been covered.
The program will be lectures and
addresses during the afternoon on tenn
perance topics, while the evenings will
be devoted to popular entertainments
and lectures by well known and high
grade talent. Some of those who have
been selected for evening work are j.
