1T turned out that the issue was be

The measure provided that before
any business man could dispose of

written list OF his creditors. He was
also forced to notify the wholesale
house with which he dealt of the pro-
posed transfer. The wholesale men in
Iowa backed the bill to the last, but

VERMONT MATERIAL GROWING
IN FAVOR.
INSPECTION TRIP ENDS
Legislators and Members of Capitol
Commission Complete Their Visits
to ouarries and Specimen Build
ings-Final Choice Of Stone to BE
Made at Next Meeting.
Madison, April 5

Madison, April D.
That the new Wisconsin capitol
will be built of Bethel, Vermont, white
granite, preferably to Georgia marble,
is a much stronger proposition than
before the capitol commission and sew
eral mebers of the legislature went
on their trip OF inspection of buildings
and quarries.
The question of material has sim
mered down to choice between mar
Bile and white granite, In accordance
with the law recently enacted by the
legislature on this subject. The com
mission seemed to be rather inclined
toward the marble of the Southern
Quarries at Tate, Georgia. It is be-
lieved that the inspection trip has
placed the Vermont material more In
favor, although the commission nor
members of the inspecting party have
not declared themselves positively on
this point. The decision will prob
ably be made at the next meeting OF
the commission
The party was composed of Govern
or Davidson and Col. w. r. Villas OF
the capitol commission, Senators
Whitehead and Burns. Assemblymen
Bancroft and A. s. Baker and Archi-
tect Lew f. Porter. secretary to the
commission. The trip occupied about
ten days and included visits to the
great quarries of the south and east
and also TO the finest buildings con
structed of the material in which the
commission was most interested. "A
number of these buildings were found
In Washington and New York.

STORM
HAS GONE OVER
BIG CONFLICT AVOIDED BY FED
ERAL OFFICIALS.
SHORTER HOURS DENIED
Men Abandon Their Demand for a
Nine-hour Day and Take Slight
Increase in Wages-Adjustment
Effected by Commissioners Knapp
and NeiIl.

Chicago, April 5.-The differences
between the west railroads and the
conductors and trainmen were finally
adjusted yesterday. The men aban-
doned their demand for a nine-hour
day, and the railroads made an ad-
vance over the previous propositions
in the pay of baggagemen, fagmen
and brakemen, Of $3.50 per month. The
original demands were for an increase
of IL per cent and for working day
OF nine hours. The managers offered
to increase the pay 10 per cent and
declined to grant the nine hour day.
The agreement was reached mainly
through the efforts of Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission and United States Labor
Commissioner Neill. They formulated
the final proposition on which both
sides were brought together, and the
final adjustment was chiefly due to
their labors.
The new agreement, which goes
into effect April / of this year, and is
retroactive for the first three days OF
the month, provides:
Pay of passenger conductors in
creased $40 per month, baggagemen
$3.50, fiagmen and brakemen $3.50
Railroads not to make any reduction
in crews or increases in mileage for
the purpose of offsetting the increased
wages given the passenger trainmen
Overtime in the passenger service
to be allowed on the basis of Is
miles per hour, to be computed for
each part of the run separately. Over
time rate of 35 cents per hour for
conductors; 23 cents for baggagemen

utes or less not to be counted; over
minutes to count one hour.
Pay of conductors and brakemen in

cal freight, and mixed train service
10 per cent increase. One hundred
miles or less. 10 hours or less to con.
stitute a day. Overtime to be paid

the basis, the present hourly overtime
rate, plus the ratio of increase grant
ed by this agreement, is to be paid
Overtime to be paid pro rata in the

with the same exception as above.
one hundred miles or less, 10 hours
or less, are to constitute days work

consider this last proposition"
The letter is signed by James T.
Drought, George A. West, ]. F.
Szukalski. and Phil. A. Grau, legisla-
tive committee of the Milwaukee
Automobile club.
The bill enclosed is as follows:
a Nearly Ideal Bill.
Section 1. No person shall operate
an automobile or other vehicle upon
or along any public highway at a rate
of speed greater than is reasonable
and proper, having regard to the
width, traffic thereon at the time, the
use of the highway, and the general
and usual rules of the road. or SO as
to endanger any property or the life
or limb of any person; provided that
in case the driving of such vehicle
shall result in injury to person or
property rate of speed in excess OF
Is miles per hour within the corporate
limits of any city Or rate
of speed in excess Of 25 miles per
hour outside the corporate limits of
any city, shall be prima facle evidence
of Negligence.
Section 2. Any person who shall
operate an automobile or other motor
vehicle along or upon any public high.

traffic and use of the highway, or in

exceeding $50 for the first offense;
provided, that In case of a second
conviction of the same person the
punishment shall be by a fine not ex
ceeding 800, or by Imprisonment for
a term of not more than ten days;
provided further, that in case of a
third and subsequent conviction OF
the same person the punishment shall
be by fine not exceeding $3.50, or by
Imprisonment for term of not more
than so days.
This essentially Is the law now in
some of the New England states. II
is based on the good theory that, il
autoists are in any particular reck
less, they become liable to punish
ment, no matter how slow they may
be running This theory is hased IN
the fact that even a rate of six miles
an hour may be reckless in city Oh
under certain circumstances in the
country whereas 40 would not be or
a rural road with not a team or per
haps a habitation in sight What is
wanted by all reasonable citizens is
the power to nab and penalize the
careless motorist whenever and wher
ever he is caught doing a reckless
stunt That is the whole spirit d
the proposed act.

REAL HISTORY OF PoDuNk.
Connecticut Town Named From Tribe
OF Indians Now Extinct.

Hartford Times.-Look on any
good map of Connecticut and you see
the river Podunk, which runs FOR
miles rough the towr of South Win
sor and empties into the Connecticut
just over the line In East Hartford
The Podunk is not a brook II affords
good water power for the mills at
Pleasantville and the stream does
not run dry in the summer.
Since we have begun to tell abou;
Podunk river we may as well add the
facts that in this town, through which
the Podunk flows, were born iona
than Edwards, Oliver Wolcott and
John Fitch, the latter the father of
all steam navigation, whose first
thoughts of what might be accom-
plished by putting an engine into a
boat no doubt came to him while, as
a youthful clockmaker, he wandered
along the shores of the Podunk a full
century and half ago He was born
in January, 174S
Podunk, Conn, is the place to
which to send all letters fro Podunk
people, where the name OF the state
is not given. There is no other Po-
dunk anywhere which can hold a can
die to this Podurk that we all know
about here.
In fact our Connecticut Podunk is
the originar article, and all others
are mere imititions.
After the Englishmen under the
lead of Winthrop, who were deter.
mined to be Americans, arrived In
Salem in 1880 one of the first Indian
chiefs who came from the backwoods
to made their acquaintance was Wah-
quinnacut, who went to Boston In
1851 to see them, and he is said to
have belonged to the Windsor tribes,
or Podunks.

at one time in Mohawk ambuscade.

He is now farming near Holdredge,
Nep., and is doing we'll.
The Samuelson sale on the streets
Saturday drew quite crowd: the
goods sold went at low figures which
was surprising as most of the stuff
was nearly new.
Don't forget to look over the sale
bill of DR.. j. A. Matson in this issue

takes place on Saturday afternoon on

heart trouble. after an illness of
several months which were full of in

their families of our town. Oscar and
Enoch residing on farms in Ida
county. Beside his four SONS and de-
voted wife he has four daughter in
laws and twelve grandchildren and a
very large circle of friends to mourn
his departure. He was an industrious
and hard working man. quiet and
honest and of cheerful disposition. a
good and helpful neighbor. a most
kind and devoted husband and father.
When the final summons came he was
ready to go and meet his God and re-
ceive his reward and to enjoy the
heavenly bliss and glory which he hae
hoped for. The funeral services
were held on Sunday afternoon from
the Baptist church of which he was {
