SENATE CONVENES TODAY

Washington, Dec. I2.-Appropria-
ton legislation viii be undertaken
by congress before the adjournment
for the holidays. There has been a
general suppOsitiOn that all measures
Of any character would be postponed
until after the first of January.
Chairman TaWney Of the committee
on appropriations has upset this
scheme by declaring that an appro-
priation bill could be prepared and
passed before the Christmas adjourn
ment as easily as not.
Mr. Tawney has found a ready second
in Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee, and the two have ar
ranged a program that VIII insure the
passage of the District of Columbia APP
preparation bill. and possibly the army bill
before Christmas.
The determination to begin work at
once on the supply measures is an tndi-
cation of the program of the leaders for
the present congress, They are going 90
have the appropriations bills passed as
soon as possible. This plan is independent
of all other legislative schemes.
There are two elements in congress. One
favors extensive general legislation. The
other takes the position that, as a geu-
eraI tariff bill was passed iu the extra
session, congress should be content TO
do little more this session than pass the
appropriation bills. All recognize, how
ever, that some effort win be made prdl-
ably 10 carry into effect recommendation
of the President whether contained i'm his
annual message or in special messages.
He is laying out am extensive program,
and nobody believes that it win be pos
sible to do all that be viii ask. His
recommendations with reference TO rail-
road legislation are apt to give moro
trouble than anything else, because it i#
expected that there viii be a public de-
mand for much that ne win recommend.
and because congress is always divided on
the policy to- be pursued with reference
to the railroads.

No MORE LAND
FOR STATE FAIR
y-I
Formal Decision of State Land
Commissioners.
NECESSITY NOT IMMEDIATE
Commissioners Give Reasons for Not
Purchasing Addition to Park
Neither Tract Offered Should
BE Bought at This Time.

Madison. The commissioners OF
public land, Secretary of State Frear,
Treasurer Dahl and Attorney General
Gilbert, have joined in formal letter
to the state agricultural fair commit
tee, in which they review the contro-
versy as to the purchase Of additional
land for the state fair grounds and
unanimously find that no immediate
necessity has been shown for the pur-
chase Of such land, and that no pur-
chase of either tract offered should be
made at this time. The commissions
ers say:
upon the submission of a written
request from your committee, accom-
panied by dissenting opinion there
to, correspondence from members of
the legislature and others addressed
to this commission, and verbal argu-
ments presented by members of your
committee to the commission affecting
the proposed purchase of land for
state fair purposes, as provided by
chapter Al, laws of 1909, the land
commissioners are advised of the fol-
lowing facts:
''While more land is desired by the
board for state fair purposes, it is not
absolutely necessary that it should be
had at this time, and arrangements
can be made on said fair grounds for
terminals and stables, according to
statements made to the commission by
your committee.
"The state agricultural board at its
last meeting tabled a resolution,
which provided for the purchase of the
Fleming tract of land on the east side
of the present fair grounds.
ION account of its location and
character the Fleming tract of land
is untitled for the use for which the
board of agriculture requires more
land, and cannot be used for stable
purposes
"Thia finding is based upon a writ
ten statement to the commission made
by majority of your committee.
Several members of your commit
tee, upon the hearing before the COM
mission, have opposed either the
Fleming tract or the Cheney tract,
which are the only lands offered for
purchase and are unable to come to
any agreement on the subject.
las a conclusion, from the forego-
ing facts, the commissioners are unan-
imously agreed:
First That no immediate necessi-
ty had been shown requiring the pur-
chase of additional land for state fair
park purposes and
Second That no purchase of eth
er tract should be made at this time.
"A copy of this opinion is respect
fully furnished to the Hon. George Nc
Kerrow, Hon. George w. Wylie and
Hon. William MacLaren, members OF
the committee"

while in Paris this summer anoth-

one afternoon" said school teacher
who had just returned from abroad.
ut was dusk when we reached the
railway station, and as there was no
waiting room we sat down on two
crates that were out on the platform
among a lot of others. We noticed
that the station employees kept staring
at us with a persistence that was an
noying. Presently a man in shabby
uniform with bucket on his arm ap-
preached us. He touched his cap
deferentially and said-in French, of
course:
'Mesdames, pray do not let me dis
turb you, but I am forced to open the
boxes on which you are seated in or
der to feed the boa constructor and
other serpents that are within
when we recovered from our
fright we found we had been seated in
the midst of a huge collection OF
snakes that had just arrived from their
native jungles en- route for the zoo
near Versailles"

Offer to Woman Student.

A scholarship of $1,000, which will
send an American woman abroad to
study at Oxford, Cambridge or London
university, as she may elect, has been
established by the General Federation
of Women's Clubs of America. Pres1-
dent Van Hise of the University OF
Wisconsin, chairman of the Rhodes
scholarship committee for Wisconsin,
has just been notified that the truss
tees of the Rhodes scholarship funds
have given permission for the exam;
ination of candidates for the federay
ton scholarship at the same time and
under the same regulations as men
competing for the English scholarship.
Since great discrimination is to be ex-
ercised in the presentation of candi-
dates, it is not expected that more
than three women will present them
selves for examination at the UniVer-
sity of Wisconsin, October 10 and 20.
BY the gift of So, 500 from the Bibli-
cal alliance to the University of Wis
consin there has just been established
a new assistant professorship in He
brew and Hellenistic Greek, to which
Silas Evans, Ripon, '98, has been ap-
pointed by the regents. Prof. Evans
took honors in Semitics at Princeton.
He held a professorate in philosophy
and Biblical literature at Hastings col
Iege, Nebraska, from 1901 to 1903, and

Fiqht plague in School.

An attempt is on foot at the uni
versity to place all consumptives un-
der surveillance, with the double idea
of aiding them to regain their health
and to protect the interests of other
students. Requests have been sent
out to all instructors by DR.. M. p.
Ravenel, professor of bacteriology and
head of the hygiene committee, asking
that the names of all students sus-
pected of being afflicted with the
white plague be reported to him.
After tests have been made, these
students will be required to report
monthly, and will be advised as to
their work, and the advisability of
continuing or dropping out, and will
also receive instructions tending to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis,
this being one of the first moves on
the part of a university to attempt
to stamp out the disease.

BABYs WATERY ECZEMA.

Disease Seemed Incurable.
Cured by cuticura for $3.50.

when my little boy was two and n
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse / was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that / almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading Of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem
edies, I determined to try them.
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only a dollar
and a halls worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors medicines had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His

Grain Receipts at Superior.

Ten Million, five hundred thousand
bushels of grain, mostly wheat, has
been received at the Great Northern
elevator system in Superior so lar
this season. This, by several million
bushels, exceeds the grain receipts for
the same period last year. The great
increase in receipts is attributed to
the invasion of the Canadian wheat,
belt by American railroads and the,
settling up of hitherto unoccupledt
lands in the Dakotas. The Great,
Northern is building into the very:
heart of the Canadian grain country:
and every mile built means so much,
more business for the local elevators.
for all the Great Northern's grain
comes here for shipment down the,
lakes. Last year the Great Northern
system handled 23,0O0,000 bushels Of
grain. This year the elevator officials
expect to handle 3O,000,000 bushels,
The receipts of bonded grain have
been almost twice as heavy as the
shipments, and as result there are
now about million bushels OF Canad-.
ian grain stored in the local houses.
