Advantageous Rates.

Madison. Wisconsin Clay
Workers association, which finished
its annual meeting here, decided to
hold its next meeting in Milwaukee. 1t
also decided to ask the railroad COM
mission OF Wisconsin to issue an order
reducing freight rates on brick and
tile 80 that Wisconsin manufacturers
can compete in the southern part on
the state with the Chicago manufac-
turers, who are declared to have an
advantage over the Badgers because
they are given more favorable freight
rates. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, A. w Hilker Racine; vice pres
ident, Fred Voght, Milwaukee; secre-

3enatoep Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, Of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro. Of Florida. look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has a heavy crop Of hair.
which Is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
II it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

Senator SpoonsT Resigns.

Senator John Colt Spooner, of Wis
consin, has sent his resignation to
Gov. Davidson. He proposes to re-
tire from the senate at once and there
fore has made his resignation to take
effect May ], so that the Wisconsin
legislature, which is now in session,
may choose a successor for the unex-
pired term of two years.
Senator Spooner leaves the United
States senate poor man, and although
covered with great political honors
and having the reputation of being
one of the greatest lawyers in the
United States, he is retiring from pub
lie life at the age of GA for the express
purpose of earning enough money in
the next five or ten years on when TO
support himself and his family when
his professional career is at an end.
Senator Spooner's plans are still some
what indefinite. He will probably
hang out his single in Madison IN
connection with his son, and MAINTAIN
old law offices there, but there almost
certainly will be other and more pala'
tial offices in New York and the sena'
tors practice will largely be in the
metropolis and before the United
States supreme court here and IN
Washington. 1t is believed that II the
great railroad companies undertake
to question the railroad rate law they
will do it through John G, Spooner.

duced by Assemblyman McGregor of
Platteyille, chairman of the commit
tee on education. 1t provides for re-
ducing the amount Of state aid for
common schools about $500, 900 annu-
ally. or making it about Sl,200,000 or
sl,300,000 instead of $1,000 900, as it
was last year. The bill cuts the rate
of taxation for this purpose from
seven-telths to five-tenths of a mill
Several years ago the rate was one
mill, but when the assessed value of
the general property of the state be-
gan to increase by leaps and bounds
the receipts increased from 5000 600
to 100000, and then to $1,000, 900,
and finally to over $1,600,000. The bill
was referred to a committee.

lono Sermons,

Mark Twain tells this story, the
moral of which you may supply your
self: II went to church one time and
was so impressed by what the preach
er told me about the poor heather
that I was ready to give up hundred
dollars OF my own money and even 60
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to
drop about $25 a drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the
collection was taken up l stole ten
cents off the plate. "-Southwe
