DR.. A. H. Hartwig of Water
town resigned as state veterinarian,
following a hearing before the COVER
nor, on charges preferred against him
by the live stock sanitary board. The
substance Of the charges was that DIR.
Hartwig refused to follow the orders
of the board and that he certified as
free from bovine tuberculosis certain
cattle which later were alleged to
have been found diseased. At the
hearing Dr. Hartwig was present
with an attorney, Emerson Ella OF
Madison. At the conclusion OF the
hearing Dr. Hartwig rendered his res
ignation in writing, and the governor
Immediately accepted It. In his resig-
nation Dr. Hartwig said:
MY work is so seriously handi-
capped by what appears to be an ir-
reconcilable conflict on the state live
stock sanitary board and such
hopeless lack of harmony that no pro-
gressive accomplishment in live stock
sanitation is possible
Dr.. Hartwig was appointed to the
Office nine months ago, succeeding DIR.

of the Office is $4,000. Governor Nc

Seventy-five years ago the city
of Madison was chosen by the
members of the first territorial legiss
lature as the location of the capitol or
the state OF Wisconsin.
There were at the time many other
cities of the state which were appeal
Ing for the honor of containing the
chief offices and capitol building OF
the state, but after system OF lobby
Ing had been INDUCED in which would
have done credit or discredit to any
succeeding. legislature, Madison re-
ceived majority of the votes of the
members and preparations for the
erection of the legislative hall was
commenced. In the whole of Dane
county at that time there were but
thirty persons, men, women and little
children.
Henry Dodge had been appointed
governor of the territory of Wiscon-
sin, established by act of congress on
April go 1885, and on July 4 of the
same year the new officers were In
augurated, and in his inaugural adj
dress the governor spoke of the diff
culties of selecting a place for the
capitol of the state.
Immediately after the converting OF
the territorial legislature men began
to appear at Belmont, where the ses-
sions were being held, and presenting
the claims and qualifications of Fond
du Lac, Portage, Dubuque. Milwaukee,
Racine, Belmont, Mineral Point, Platte
vile, Cassville, Koshkonong, Wiscon-
sinapolis, Wisconsin City and Peru.
1t was finally left to James Duane
Doty to pick the site for the future
capital.
Judge Doty, afterward a delegate to
congress and later governor of the
territory of Wisconsin, and still later
governor of Utah, fixed upon the 18TH
mus between the third and fourth of
the four lakes, and in conjunction with
Stephens t. Mason purchased from
the government about 1000 acres in
sections 10, IA, % and "a, upon the
four common corners of which the
capitol now stands. He was then APP
pointed chairman of the capitol build
ing commission.
The cornerstone of the first capitol
of Wisconsin was laid on July A,
1887. The legislature did not meet in
Madison till in 1888, and the new capt.
tol, not being in sufficient stage Of
completion, that body met in the
basement of the American house,
where Governor Dodge delivered his
annual address. The federal govern
ment appropriated $40 1000 for the erec-
ton of the capitol, Dane county added
$4,000 and the territorial legislature
$4,000 more, making a total cost OF
about 100000.

OF
THE LEGISLATURE

BY invitation of President Eric
Knudsen, the Governor and some
twenty or more public men mostly
Senators, met at the University Club
Saturday night and had luau. The
host presided as POSTMASTER and
every mothers son present, except
the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate,
made a speech. Among those who
talked most to the point was the Del
egate in Congress, Prince Kuhio.
The Prince compared the Legisla-
ture to water buffalo with ring
in his nose, led around by the bust
ness interests. AS a Hawaiian he
was ashamed of it. Business men
came into the Hobbies and directed
this or that legislation as if they
owned the place; and it was, in the
speakers opinion, high time to keep
out and let the legislators think
little for themselves. Makakau aft
erwards made a speech saying that
he was one of the water buffaloes.
Most of the speeches were joshes
on current legislation, some of them
directed at the genial Senator Fair
child.
There was much to eat and some
thing mild to drink and good fellow
ship was the order Of the night.
The following were present: Pres
iGent OF the Senate Knudsen, Dele
gate Kalanianaole, Governor Frear,
Secretary Mott-Sith, Walter G. Smith,
Wallace r. Harrington, Roderick o.
Matheson, Senators Cecil Brown,
Chillingworth, Fairchild, Judd, Ma
kekau, Quinn and Robinson, Clerk
Wise and Sergeant-at-Arms Clark.

A NEAT LITTLE SCHEME TO
GET FEES FROM JAPANESE
Honolulu, April "a.

Honolulu, April "a.
Editor Star Some of your read
ers may be interested to know the
enterprise displayed by a so-called
lawyer of Honolulu.
Last Monday a Japanese brought
wagon load of vegetables to town
from Manoa, but was told the sale of
Manoa vegetables was forbidden, and
retuIAed with his load.
On Wednesday a number of vege-
table gardeners started down in a
body to see government" and to
find out what the prospect was for
the sale of vegetables. On their re-
turn, one of them told of having met
man who was willing, for fee OF
$40 from each Jap to get for them
the privilege of selling. On Friday
it was said that lawyer, for 500
down and 5000 later on, would I'M
dertake to get the embargo removed
On Saturday the Board Of Health
took notice of the fact that these veg
etables were raised without irrigation
and decided to allow them to be
marketed under proper conditions.
Sunday morning the notice was pub
lished allowing the sale of Manoa veg
etables. In the afternoon Chas Achi
or his Japanese partner, made a flying
trip to Manoa valley and arranged for
a retainer of 500, to be ready today

not fixing any time for acquiring the
property Further, the bill only pros
posed to acquire the rights of the es-
tate of the late Charles w. Booth,
which some said covered one-third and
others one-fifth of the water desired.
To buy these rights the Territory
would merely be getting a lawsuit on
its hands. The proposal was little bet
ter than that rejected by the Legisla-
ture some years ago To make the
bill of benefit to the Territory it should
provide for buying the land also,
which was something like forty-six
acres.
s Tavares opposed the bill, and Shell
don wanted to hear from the Oahu
members. Towse told of a visit he
paid to the Booth springs in dry sea-
son, when he found not enough water
to satisfy the thirst of mosquito. The
water was not necessary to Honolu-
LUIS water supply.
Rice thought it a good bill. Where
as commission had placed value OF
$4,000 on the water, the bill limited
the amount to be paid for it to 800,
900.
Tavares replied that if the Territory
wanted the Pauoa water it should ac
quire the whole of it.
Archer moved an amendment, to in
clude the requirement of the lands
This put Rice against the bill, as open
ing a prospect of a request for more
money next session. and when the
amendment carried, after Keliinoi and
Marcaliino had spoken in favor of the
bill, he moved that the bill be tabled
which easily carried on show OF
