St. Paul. Feb. g.

ReappOrtlOnment was turned down
in the senate by vote of 81 to %.
The resolution to limit the number
Of senators to 63 and the number of
representatives to I26 was indefinitely
postponed. This is the same resolu-
ton that passed the house last week
by an overwhelming vote. The vote,
following crimonious debate in
which it was freely charged that those
voted to indefinitely postpone, voted
against reapportionment.
Charges of dilatory tactics and un-
fair play flew thickly about the ears
OF the senators. Senator Works OBJ
Jected to the passage of the resolution
on the ground that no bill had been
presented and it was unfair to tie the
senate's hands by a previous limita-
.tion.
Hackney defended the resolution,
saying the bill could be amended when
presented on the floor. ]. D. Sullivan
explained his vote against the resolu-
ton when it came up for passage I'M
der suspended rules by saying there
was no necessity for hurry at that
time, but he would vote for it now.
Cheadle asked that the resolution be
passed.

Garnishment Bill is Framed.

Representative Andrew Davis of Elk
River introduced a bill amending the
state garnishment law. He would ex-
empt 80 per cent of the wages of any
workingman from garnishment pro-
ceedings. Under the present law only
the wages over $25 can be garnisheed
This practically eliminates the collec-
ton of a judgment or debt from a man
who is paid weekly. The new bill
would make it impossible to garnish
workingman's wages if he has only
81 coming to him.

ten O'Clock Tuesday night by Game
Warden Michael Kleist and his as

with a hoop net. He strenuously de-
MED the charges declaring that he and
Baltzer had just gone down along the
river to look at the fish and seeing a
net buried in the river he had lifted
it. The story did not go with Judge
Randall and Leichter was fined $25
and the costs of the action No form
al charge was made against the other

Quarter of a Million Of
cially Given Palm.

E. Dana Durand, director of the
thirteenth census on Tuesday after
noon gave out the final figures in re-
gard to the census of Wisconsin and
Kenosha and by this announcement
Kenosha lis officially given the laurel
for having the largest proportionate
increase of any city or village in the
state. In connection with the final
figures for the state the department

VoLIvA WINS AT ZION.
Theocratic Party Elect Three Out of
Five Noisy CelebIlstion.

Zion City, where once the dove of
peace was wont to hover, yesterday
passed through a municipal election
of such violence that the more timid
OF its residents spent the day in
cyclone cellars, ready for almost any
thing in the line of disturbance.
As the returns stood last night, in
the face of the contest that already
has been declared, Wilbur Glenn Volt
va, present wearer of the Dowie vest
ments. swept through to victory with
his Theocratic party by hair-raising
majority of five votes.
When Voliva was informed that his
candidate for mayor, w. Hurd Glen
denim, had been victorious-apparent
at least-he ordered the whistles in
his factories to be blown as long as
the steam held out and for two hours
there was revelry-Zion City revelry
sans liquor and tobacco.
Besides getting the head of the tic
ket cover" Voliva saw his candidate
for city clerk, L. j. Rossman, given
a tie vote and three out of five Theo-
cratic aldermen elected.

People of Pleasant Prairie
Rapidly Rebuilding Homes
Following Explosion
UNITED AGAINST POWDER PLANT

Pleasant Prairie has "come back
if we may borrow the term from the
sporting editor for few minutes.
The dove of peace once more reigns
supreme over the, quiet little village
and there is nothing TO indicate that
only a few short weeks ago the place
wae almost wiped off the map by a
powder mill explosion in which over a
million dollars in damage was done
Houses and barns have been rebuilt
and all claims against the powder com
pany have been settled.
A birds-eye view of the village from
the top of neighboring hill, however,
shows many new roofs, while a closer
inspection reveals scores of new win
dow frames and doors, with here and
there fresh and still unpainted board
: Is the mill to be rebuilt?' asked a
scribe of group of the villagers, who
were engaged in holding a post mortem
over the remains of the powder plant
storm of protest arose and the re-
porter decided that he had once more
put his foot into it.
The residents Of the settlement de-
clare that they will do, everything in
their power to aid in the passage Of
Senator Bishop S bill through-the state
legislature. They claim the place is
now too thickly populated to allow the
mill to remain
On the other hand, however, en-
ployes of the powder company, say
they are willing TO return to work
should the mill be allowed to resume
operations.
Since the explosion hundreds of au-
toists have visited Pleasant Prairie
and they continue to come People
from far and near have viewed the
ruins of the old mill and chatted with
the residents who are ever ready to
tell of their experiences on that awful
night, when so many were made home
less
Stories purporting to come from the
village to the effect thatNmany Of the
residents have moved AWAY and refuse
to return are untrue. There is scarcely
a vacant house for miles around and no
danger of a repetition of the disaster
unless Senator Bishops measure fails
of passage.

SAILED MAN FEARS.
First Wreck on Great Lakes for Year
1911 Was of Schooner Built in 1874.

1911 Was of Schooner Built in 1874.
The schooner Ottawa, which was the
first wreck on the Great Lakes of the
season of 1911, is an old Grand Haven
craft. She was built in that city in
1874 by Capt. William R. Loutit, who
owned her for number of years Her
construction was carried out under
Capt. Loutit s supervision and he stat
ed this morning that she was one of the
best built craft that ever sailed the
lakes. She was afterwards sold to Wy
man & Boswell of Racine and ran in
the lumber trade out of Grand Haven
for many seasons. Later she became
the property of William Pugh of Ra-
cine who operated her for many years.
Of late, however, she has been the pro-
perty of Capt. Weberg, who sailed her
himself. The schooner was in ordin-
airy in Chicago all winter and was re-
Gently fitted out for the season. It was
upon her first trip that she drowned
her crew.
