CATION TO JULY s.
ADOPTED BY ASSEMBLY
Expectation Is to Complete All Most
Important Bills and PerfunctoriIy
Complete the Session Upon Reas-
sembling-",ining School Bill Con-
CURED in.

Madison, June %.
A resolution by Assemblynlan Soper
was adopted last night in the assem-
bly,, providing for an adjournment of
the legislature from tomorrow noon
to Monday, July 8, at 9 O'Clock in the
evening. All appropriation bills and
other measures requiring roll call
have been made a special order for
this morning.
The resolution was sent to the SEN
ate, was discussed briefly and laid
over until this morning. 1t is said to
be assured of concurrence.
Insurance Tax Investigation.
A resolution was offered by Assem-
blyman Mains to provide for an in
vestigation by the state tax commits
sion into the subject of insurance tax
alton, and report to the next legisla-
ture bill on that subject.
After another earnest plea on the
part of Assemblyman Duncan Nc
Gregor of Platteville the bill appro-
priating $4,000 for two years for o
Platteville mining school was finally
passed by vote of "A to 29.
Assemblyman ]. F. Baker opposed
the bill on the ground that the estab-
lishment of mining school at Platte
vile would hamper the growth of the
mining course at the university. T.
M. Thomas also opposed the bill.
Mortgage Tax Bills Killed.
The proposition to change the pres
ent law relating to credit taxation
embodied in bill offered by the com.
mittee on taxation, was killed by the
assembly by decisive vote of So to
10. incidentally all other measures
providing for repeal of the law OF
1903 were indefinitely postponed and
the assembly went on record for a
retention of the present law
The bill offered by the committee
on taxation was championed by As
semblyman sprague, who explained its
provisions, the chief feature of the
bill being plan to require registra
aion fee of three mills on the dollar
on ali credits secured by real estate
mortgages.
Messrs. Burke, Ingram and Durley
opposed the committee bill, most Of
their argument being directed against
the practicability of the measure. Ths
fear was expressed that this species
of taxation tended to divert money
from the state to be invested in more
favorable markets, and would there
fore prove detrimental to commercial
interests in Wisconsin.
To Repeal Mental Anguish.
After a short debate, AssemblymaI

the public utility bill insured goot

MESA
LOOKING FOR sPooKs

The following is the experience Of a
bachelor who recently rented a cot
tage in Mesa:
AS Is the fashion in Mesa in the
good old summer time. the tenant Of
the house makes up his bed nightly on
the porch in front. When he moved
into the premises a month ago he did
not notice anything strange about the
premises for a week And then he
came to realize one night after he had
gone TO bed that something was walk
ing about on the other end OF the
porch. He could not see anything. but
he distinctly felt the floor shake under
some ones football. a demand as to
who was there evoked no response.
and the tenant got out OF bed. secured
4 lamp and made an Investigation
without result. Satisfied that he was
not mistaken in the matter. and that
something must cause the floor to give
as il did. he placed a box OF parlor
matches alongside the bed, trusting to
strike a light before the mysterious
visitant could get away.
"As soon as he got back in bed the
swaying of the floor began again. I've
got him now thought the sleepless
tenant, and with the thought he struck
the match. Not a soul in sight
During the night he struck a cou-
pie of dozen matches. always with the
same result. Then he made up his
mind that he would leave the porch to
his strange visitant. and so moved his
bed inside despite the heat Here it
was almost as bad. While he no long
er felt the swaying Of the floor on the
porch. in lieu OF 1t there began a
scratching on the screen OF the front
door. and this continues all night until
daylight.
There was no apparent cause for
the scratching on the screen. any more
than there was for the sensation on the
porch. and the tenant OF the house is
now convinced that IL is simply a case
of common. everyday spooks. The ten
ant has bought a gun and will now try

make complaint. Inasmueh a. il
was not an official act Of the

agree with me that we cannot
make any public denial of the
matter, but would however sug-
kest that you can use this letter
which will serve your purpose as
effectively as by publishing an
