Madison, April 20.-After a ses-
sion that lasted until $50 O'Clock the
senate passed the Whitehead bin for
the commission form of government
in cities, and diverted to the special
conservation committee two dam
bills.
Social democrats of Milwaukee won
victory in the assembly when they
secured the advancement of the Ber-
ner bill limiting the hours of labor
for women in factories from a. m.
to 6 p. M. The vote by which the
measure was ordered engrossed was
exceedingly close. the result not be-
being announced.
Three educational bills engrossed
the attention of the assembly for over
an hour The first debate ensued
over the Towne bill which gives boys
and girls who graduated from coun-
try schools an opportunity of obtain
ing smattering of high school educa
ton in state graded schools located
in adjoining districts where one or
two years high school courses are
taught. Messrs. Viebahm. Towne.
Hambrecht and Reynolds favored the
bill. while it was opposed by Mr.
Wehrwein, chairman of the commit
tee on education, who maintained that
these graded schools are not properly
equipped to give high school courses
of instruction A motion to Infinitely
postpone The bill was voted down and
the measure was then advanced to
engrossment
The ingalls, bill authorizing boards
of education at their discretion to EN-
pioy teachers on three year contracts
was indefinitely postponed.
Despite the fact that the assembly
has cnce before this session passed a
joint resolution memorializing con-
gress to enact a law to prevent deal
ings in futures and margins on boards

cent corner on the wheat market
prompted Assemblyman Scott of

ice law and requiring the construction

Woman Suffrage Favored.

Madison, April 14.-An effort on the
part of Senator Bird to strike fatal
blow at woman suffrage was not al
lowed The senate defeated his mo
ton to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was passed by vote Of 16
to 10. This bill provides for refer
endum on suffrage. The Hambrecht
resolution for joipt committee to
investigate the TAatorial election
came up for concurrence in the sen
ate and was without much formality
laid over for week, I'll g resolution
provides for a committee of five as
semblymen and three senators in
stead of the present committee OF
three senators.
After a brisk contest, the as
sembly indefinitely postponed the
Hambrecht bill providing for a sec
ond woman on the board of univer-
sity regents. AS soon as the measure
was reached Mr.. Mcconnell of La
Crosse, varsity alumnus of promi-
hence, made the motion to kill. He
thought the board was too large now
that it was cumbersome with its 13
members, and should be reduced to
seven or eight. 1t was all right to
have more women on the board. To
that he did not object; but the gov
ernor can name as many as he
pleases at present. No law restraints

The so-called Mary Ann bill, No.
1856. introduced by Assemblyman j. Il.
Mcconnell, was adversely reported
by the assembly elections committee,
and similar report was made res
pecting V. H Cady's bill on the
same subject. A neutral report
was made on Senator Barker's long
bedsheet bill, and the claims COM
mittee gave an advance recommends
ton on the bill appropriating $4,000
to the Society of Equity.
The Hambrecht bill to limit the
maximum cost of schoolhouse to
5000 in sub-districts of less than 80
pupils was killed after it had been ad.
yocated by MIR. HamDrecht and op-
posed by Mr.. Stevens and Mr. Hull.
Mr. Stevens raided the Weber bill
limiting the hours of labor in bakeries
to 10 hours per day and sc a week, He
thought such legislation was an I'M
warranted intrusion upon the rights

was as unjust to the latter as to the
former. Mr. Simon Smiths bill. pro

do so. I cannot conceive how such a report would be effective in your campaign, (Now mark you what he says) as the Bartlett Heard people, being business men, certainly chose our type of bridge as the one they favor, owing to it's strength, it's per manency and it's low cost"
 As I understand it, the general bridge law provides that where a certain number of tax payers petition the board of supervisors to build a bridge at a certain point, it is the duty of the board of supervisors to call an election and refer it to the people whether a bridge be built at that particular point. It is also the duty of the board of supervisors to select the type of bridge, and to make contracts, and to accept the bridge after it is built, and we can find nowhere in this bill where it gives a private corporation, a board of trade or individuals in any com munity the right to specify the char acter of the bridge and the design, or empowers them to. make contracts and accept the bridge after it is built. It seems to us an imposition on the board for any one to do these things, and an usurpation of power, but it seems from this letter that the Bartlett Heard people have done these things without consulting the board of supervisors, and therefore we can see nothing particularly wrong in calling this particular bridge tue Heard bridge.
 We also think that the gentlemen who attended this banquet referred to show bad taste in allowing a committee to be appointed to criti- else or throttle the right of the press in speaking out fairly and rightly for all interests, not only in Phoenix, but in MaricOpa county and the tef- ritory as well. As I have said before let it publish the truth and let the public judge and criticize. because, after all, it is the tax payers. who will have the last say.

turned from the congress organized by
the Chicago Tribune
Mr.. Mailing says that the congress
and also the one which preceded it at
the La Sale hotel, beat anything of
the kind that he ever saw. The event
at the Chicago auditorium was attend
ed by thousands and the exhibits were
as nearly perfect as possible. These
were elaborate and showed almost ev-
cry detail of farm life in the west.
The Union Pacific and other railroad
systems were reproduced in detail in

roads showed the conditions and Ie-
sources of the country.
He said the most remarkable feature
of the congress was the intense interest
shown in the western lands and the IT.

pie and the class of men who attended
the lectures and exhibitions. The i'm
migration agent of Idaho estimated
that his state would ultimately get no.

$2O.0OO,000 in investments as a result
of that state exhibit. He said that
Colorado failed to recognize the i'm
portance of the congress and therefore
did not make the showing which was
possible.

RIO s1ANoo PIONEER DIES

tMeeker. Colo. Nov. 3O.-tSpeciai.),,
Wash Wakeman. one of the oldest and
best known prospectors in the White
river district, and al one time a wealthy
resident of Denver. was found dead in
lis cabin on Marvine creek few days
ago.
Coroner Holloway was summoned
and decided that death was probably
due to old age and exposure. Wakeman
had been living in tent and was IN
sufficiently supplied with bedding and
clothing but his friends, fearful of u
refusal, were afraid to offer him aid.
Wakeman had prospected in the
White river country for more than
twenty five years, but never struck pay
ore. Friends often helped him, among
them F. NJ Taylor, the wealthy Den
yer smelter man who has Il summer
ranch on the White river.
In the sixties Wakeman lived in Den
yer with his brother, Nose, but they
parted when Wash began prospecting.
At that time he was well do. NOtn
ing is known of the brother, or of any
of Wakeman relatives and he was
nkuried here Friday. Interment was
laIle in Highland cemetery Wakeman
was over 10 years of age.
