HOMECOMING AT MADISON ENDS.
Crowds Continue Celebration During
Last Day of Bio Event.

The big four-day homecoming cele-
bration held by Madison to commemo-
rate the fiftieth anniversary OF its in
corporation as city closed IN blaze
of glory. The eliminating feature OF
the last day was the Venetian night
entertainment on Lake MENDOZA.
More than 200 water craft OF different
descriptions, gaily decorated with
bunting and flags and vari-colored
lights and lanterns, took part In the
entertainment.
Bands of musicians floated around
on the lake, playing inspiring strains
as the occupants of the inherent
craft We'd with one another In burn
ing bright colored fires or discharging
brilliant fireworks. The weather was
ideal for the entertainment, the sur
face of the lake being as placid and
smooth as glass and the high temper
Azure making a ride on the lake most
refreshing.
While it rained some during the day
the ardor of the merrymakers was
not dampened. AS soon as the clouds
cleared away they were as busy in
pursuit of fun as ever. The chief
amusements during the day were the
free vaudeville entertainments on the
raised stages around the capitol park,
the band concerts and the numerous
shows on the streets. While the
crowd was smaller than yesterday, it
was much larger than was expected.
1t is estimated that more than 5000
former residents of Madison visited
their old homes here during the week
and that fully $4,000 others came
from neighboring cities to enjoy the
fun. The managers of the festival are
gratified at the complete success that
attended their work.-W.

Proceedings in Bankruptcy Case.
Declaring that the order issued by
the circuit court to G. J. Richards as
receiver of the Browne orliss Engine
company on Feb. 10 was improper and
not according to law, Justice Belden
at Racine filed decision ordering the
proceeding of that date to be vacated
The action was in the case of Richard
Stenbom against the Brown-Corliss
company for $4,000 damages on ac-
count of injuries. Stenbom was given
a verdict for $4,000. In the meantime
the company filed petition in bank
ruptcy. The receiver held a liability
policy for $4,000 issued to cover suits
for damages by employees. The re-
,ceiver in order to facilitate the col
lection of the amount decided to issue
a promissory note to Stenbom. In his
decision Judge Belden holds that the
proceeding was unique, and that the
petition was presented to him during
the taking of testimony Of some other
action and when the court was great
ly pressed for time. An authority was
presented and he signed the order
Having given the matter much
thought since the order was issued,
the court decides that by it's wording,
the insurance policy was not a con-
tract to pay the judgment, and that
should the money be paid the money
might perforce belong to Stenbom,
but could belong in equity to other
creditors of the concern.-W.
