somewhere about his home, and it is be-
lieved by the authorities and Mrs Cro-

WISCONSIN SOLONS.


Legislators i'm Strange Rooms.
1T has new feeling and nothing
seems natural" That Is the comment
of any number of the old Senators and
Assemblymen on their new quarters In
the new west wing of the capitol build
ing. To be sure the quarters are
strange and they have that new" feel
ing that is not conducive to the abso-
lutte comfort of members accustomed to
something different. The Senators do
not fare well. They have a room much
wider than it is long and there are two
ponderous square posts that give the
room top-heavy appearance. The
desks are ranged along the width of
the room in two rows with the south
windows to the backs of the members.
The desks themselves are hardly suit
able to the dignity OF the service they
are to see. They are of the old-fash-
Toned school variety, wide affairs OF
cheap golden oak, the sort of desks
that might be found in town hall OF
small place. There are stationery
ink wells sunk into the wood and alto
gether they give the Senate the appear
ance of being lecture room. The
chairs are comfortable, and that, as
matter of fact, is the all-important fac,
tor The Assemblymen have no COM
plant to make as to comfort. Their
chamber, as one member put it, is the
finest thing this side Of Washington.
From the luxurious Brussels carpet of
deep red shade, to the beautiful cir
cular skylight iii the ceiling. the room
is just about the last word in appr0-
pirate beauty. The desks are the same
as those used in the old Assembly
chamber, but they have been revamped
and put into suitable condition.
