Madison, March 28.-The legislature
adjourned until April 8, and in the
meantime the members will consult
their constituents on the United
States senatorship, the election of
which takes place April 16. The sem
ate advanced the Barker bill to for
bid and punish the sale of drugs,
medicines and liquors which are not
truthfully labeled.
Senator Marsh offered a long
amendment to the Barker bill requir-
ing the barber board to file quarterly
statements with the governor setting
forth the receipts and expenses of
the board in detail, and also providing
that the law for the examination and
licensing of BARRIERS shall not apply
to any except in incorporated cities
and villages. The bill with the
amendment was laid over. The Ban.
croft bill to continue the annual ap-
preparation of $40, 900 for the sup
port of the Wisconsin national
guard, was concurred in but Senator
Rummel, socialist, voted in the mega
tive.
The bills passed in the assembly in
Guided two introduced by Assembly
man Weber in the interests of child
and woman labor. One prohibits the
employment of children under Il in
| theaters and concert halls. The othe-
regulates the employment of women
and girls in employments dangerous
to health and morals, such as bottling
works and the like. Bills were in
troduced: BY the committee on edu-
cation, to continue the commission
engaged in gathering historical ma
terial relating to the civil war; by the
committee on fish and game, to make
incurable insanity attended by 1h

been chosen by a jury Of eminent Ameri-
can architects MS the most artistic and
appropriate. Work on the Mausoleum
was commenced in the spring of 1905

changes were made In the plans after
work was started and a considerable
portion of the marbework was destroyed

of being one of the few great public

A Necklace Which Brings
Bad Luck.

A weird story is being told in London
and India about certain very valuable
necklace which has for many years be-
longed to the Maharannee OF Cooch Behar
In India. The history Of the necklace
which is composed Of pearls and tur-
quoises Of the rarest quality is decidedly
peculiar. While 1t was owned by the Ma
harannee she was robbed OF enormous
quantities of jewels and her husband the
Maharajah lost many of his most valu-
able riding horses. Ill luck according to
the Maharannee's story pursued her con-
tinuously. She sent to pundit or pro-
fessional wise man as they are called in
India and after studying the matter he
ndyised her to send the necklace to Lady
Roberts In London. This was done aud
the spell on the Maharajah's household
is said to have disappeared. Curiously
enough Lady Roberts has recently been

this tow down the 2.0O0-mile highway to
tide water. 1t Is something of a mis-
nomer to refer to such feet of coal
laden fiatboats as tow, for In reality
the towing steamer is stationed at the
rear and pushes rather than pulls its pom
derous load. The position of the steamer
at the rear also enables It to act as
sort of rudder for the great expanse Of
6at-boats stretching out one-third of a
mile In front of 1t. When coal Is moved
to New Orleans In the primative style Of
wooden coal boats these craft are seldom
brought back up the rivers, for their
original cost is only 500 each. and this
is considered too modest an Investment
to Justify the expense Of towing the boats
back up stream, SO that the outlay for
coal boats Is charged In as an item In the
cost OF transportation.
