WHAT THE BADGER
SOL0NS ARE DOING
TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
HOME RULE FOR MILWAUKEE,
Measure Goes to Governor After
Having Passed Assembly and
Senate - Provisions of
the Bill.

Madison. - The Milwaukee home
rule bill, which had previously passed
the senate, went through the assem-
bly, Wednesday without debate by a
vote of 80 to 33.
The home rule bill gives Milwaukee
power to adopt or alter resolutions re
lating TO its own government The
regulations are to be enacted by reso-
lutions adopted by at least twothirds
OF the common council and approved
by the mayor, and then submitted to
a vote of the people at the next
municipal election. If the question
is adopted by the majority it takes
effect the same month, superseding
any conflicting provision of law.
1t is secured in the bill that the
total vote on a question submitted to
a referendum must be more than half
the total vote at the last preceding
election. The initiative is provided
for in the bill, it being set forth that
where petition containing signatures
of five per cent. of the voters on a
resolution is filed with the city clerk,
the council may submit" the ques.
tion to the people. If the petition con
tains the signatures of Is per cent.
of the voters it becomes mandatory
upon the council to submit the matter
to vote.

Left Child Tied Outside Barroom.

A cable message from London TO
the Mail and Express of Toronto tells
of the operation OF the new children's
act in London. The law, the report
says. proved a great boon on Sunday
TO the tea places at the popular holi-
day resorts. Parents being unable
legally to take their children into the
barroom had tea with them instead.
INQUIRIES at many tea shops did not
reveal a single instance of the children
being left alone there while their par
ents visited the bars Dover, however,
had the sight the other day Of a little
child tied to a lamp-post outside a
barroom. It caused crowd to gather.

stand it. There is more in making a
bed than meets the eye, and at the
London county council they show
Mary how the best wives do it. Beds
ought to be aired properly. too; and
although Mary was taught how to
wash the blankets and sheets in the
laundry, she is told that proper venti-
lation is almost as necessary as prop
er washing. She also discovers that
a bolster need not really be lumpy
and many other little details that the
good housewife ought to know.
In the course Of time Mary becomes
an excellent cook. The instruction is
practical The cookery is based on
moderate incomes and Mary is taught
within her means. The great aim of
her instructress is to teach her how
to make whatever income she may
have at her disposal in the future go
as far as possible, and to spend it in
the most profitable manner so as to
secure the utmost value for every
penny.
Also, the l.. c. C. have another end
in view almost as important as teach
ing London girls to make the most
of what they have to spend.
They argue that if a girl takes an
interest and pride in household mat
terS, whether in a home of her own
or in her mothers house, she has the
best possible occupation, and if she
No t,,I - l1h nf
housework it keeps her away from
too many amuSementS, some of which
may not be altogether desirable, and
saves her from the feverish desire for
change and excitement at all times,
which is such an unfortunate trait in
the characters of the working classes,
as of others, to-day.
They consider that if Mary is cook
ing the supper or putting the baby to
bed she will not be at musichall,
and that domestic pursuits are far
more interesting than song and dance
turns if she only knew it.
Finally. Mary Smith is taught to
make and mend her own clothes. She
is encouraged to make sewing rec
rcation after the sterner occupations
of cooking and washing, and it Is
pointed out to her that while you are
sitting down to rest you might as
we'll do a little needlework as read a
novelette,. Moreover, the instructress
draws her attention to the fact that If
you will buy your own material and
make it up yourself, you get great
deal better value for your money than
if you buy ready-made clothes.
You can't make your own boots,
Mary, my dear" pursues the instruct,
ress, but you can make your own
clothes, and they'll look better and
last longer than any you can buy
at the shops. md by the way, this
is the one and only way to make a
respectable darn" etc, etc.
BY the means described in this ar.
ticle it is hoped TO train up a genera.
ton of women who know all there is
to know about managing their homes
and looking after their families.

Propose New Election Sill.

More new election bills were intro.

1t looks now as if one of the warm.
est fights of the session Will come
over the election bills previously in
troduced in the two houses. The as
sembly already had the Hambrecht
and Kay bills under consideration. AS
these bills cover the matter of eX-
pending money thoroughly if either
should be passed in the assembly
there would be no need for the pas
sage of the bills which will be intro
duced by the senate investigating
committee.
There is still d feeling manifest
among quite a number of the mem
bers that the better thing to do is to
strengthen the corrupt practices act
by adding such amendments as will
insure the filing Of statements such as
are demanded by the present act and
insure the prosecution of any candi-
date who refuses to file within the
specified time. \ strict enforcement
of the present corrupt practices act, it
is maintained, Would be all that is
necessary to insure the elimination
of most of the money spent on elec-
tions in the state by candidates for
every office.

The senate investigating committee
is to have more time to complete its
probe, the senate. by vote Of l3 to
y, having given it until the special
session next autumn to take evidence.
This action was preceded by debate
in which it was shown that some of
the senators at least were firing of
the political game being played. Sena-
tors Lyons and Barker. who voted for
the appointment of the committee,
said they believed it was time for the
members of the committee to quit and
announced they would vote against the
resolution. Senator Bodenstab also
said he should vote against extending
the time of the committee.
Senator Barker said there was moth
ing to be gained by continuing the in

CHAPTER XII.
A CLASH OF WILLS.

Ut required some minutes for Dan
lei Voorhees, Pike to get over the
Amusement that possessed him
when Ethel fed from him in such
evident confusion.
His usually alert mind seemed inca
pable Of concerted effort in the proper
direction, and the dazed look on his
face remained there until Mariana
came to tell him that his rooms were
ready and that Herr Won Grollerhagen
was awaiting him. Then for the first
time he awoke, and, with sigh Of res
ignation as he realized the battle he
had before him, he gave a curt order
that the automobile, which had broken
down on the road to the hotel, should
be placed in the entrance garden, for
he proposed to do some tinkering upon
it.
eff that don't beat he muttered
to himself and then allowed the re-
mark to remain unfinished, for he
could not imagine one thing that the
incident could be supposed to have
Seaten. 1t stood alone in little hol-
low square by itself and positively re-
fused to surrender to any comparison
whatsoever.
"And that-that-nine cent imitation
Of q man." he growled at last-"that

homo" he finished. with a fash Of
pride. Then he went off to his rooms
and tried to adjust himself to the mat
ter as he saw it and incidentally to
bring some of that astute legal train
ing cleaned from contact with farmers,
promoters and other citizens to bear
upon the case.

DEATH"
She was about to answer when from
distance came the roll Of drums and
then the sound of bugle The sounds
came from afar off, as if below the
cliff.
They both stopped to listen. Then
the servants came running, with Mari
ano at their head. They rushed to the
wall and leaned over, all excitement.
Mariana turned to call to them over
his shoulder:
THE bandit of Russia. The soldiers
think he is hidden in a grotto under
these cliffs"
AS he spoke Almeric ran down the
steps with shotgun in his hand and
made for the steps leading down the
face of the cliff. Pike turned to Ethel.
Il saw that fellow on the road here.
What's he meant for:"
Ethel turned angrily from the law
yer and called sharply to her fiance:
"Almeric,"
st. Aubyn turned and stopped.
"Hello.' he said.
Il wish to present my guardian to
you" and turned to Pike as Almeric
approached This Is Mr.. st. Aubyn,"
she said steadily.
Almeric stared at Pike through his
monocle and laughed.
why, It's the donkey man. isn't II?
How very odd! You'll have to see the
governor and our solicitor about that
settlement, though I've some tmpor-
tant business here. The police are

"If that's the only way to make you
understand-yesw she flashed.
"How much do you want to give
him?' asked Pike thoughtfully.
"a hundred and fifty thousand
pounds" said Ethel desperately.
Pike whistled.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars"
Precisely that" said Ethel.

him." said Daniel Il guess he must
be the prince of the world! He must
be a great man. 1 expect you're right

Pike looked at her keenly.
"Have you talked with Mr.. st. Au-

Not with him."
