Has Devastated Wisconsin.

Madison According to the rec
ords at the weather bureau Al the
University of Wisconsin there have
been three disastrous tornadocs, in
which lives were lost in Wisconsin,
previous to the one near Evansville
There are also others of more re-
mote date which are not registered
On July Z, 1877, the little village
of Pensaukee, Oconto county, was to-
tally destroyed by a tornado which
passed through the center of the
town. Eight persons were killed and
about fifty severely injured Nearly
all the houses and outbuildings in
the village were leveIed and the loss
TO live stock and crops was large

ton Of the city was destroyed by a
tornado and storm in which TWENTY
five persons lost their lives and 100
were injured. The property loss
amounted to about 100000.

GOVERNOR HAS POWER
DENEEN CAN PROLOGUE ILLINOIS
STATE LEGISLATURE.
Attorney General Stead Gives Opinion
Executive Can End One Session
and Call Another.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 14.-ln answer
to the question propounded to him by
Governor Deneen as to whether o. not
the present disagreement between the
two houses of the Illinois general as
sembly is such as to legally warrant
the executive In proroguing the legis-
lature. States Attorney General Stead
replies that the present ENHANCEMENT
Is one of fact for the governor to de
eide and not one of law requiring a
legal opinion.
The attorney general, holds, how
ever. that if the governor finds there
is disagreement as to the adjourn
ment, the governor has the power to
adjourn the general assembly to such
time as he may think proper.
The attorney general holds such ac.
ton of the executive is not subject to
review except In political forum"
Governor Deneen submitted sec
ond question as to whether the consti-
tuition vests in the governor power to
convene the general assembly be-
iWCSh thS ddtS Vi NhN aNJo'i hh''>AAN
proclamation and the date to which
the assembly is thus adjourned.
The attorney general specifically an
swers this Interrogation thus:
Il would state that, in my opinion,
should the present special session OF
the general assembly be adjourned to
a specific date, the constitution vests
in the governor, should an eXtraordi-
nary occasion exist, power to convene
the general assembly at nay time prior
to the regular session"
The attorney general at great length
quotes authorities upon which he
bases the conclusion that the power
of the governor is absolute in deter
mining his own answer to the first
question.
1t is further held that the general
assembly would not be dissolved If ad-
journed by order of the governor, but
the assembly could consider only such
matters as he should re-convene the
assembly to consider.
