ing Junior Senator for Vote on
Legality of Lorimer Election.

MadlsOn.-The assembly, by a vote

the senate,where there is little doubt
of it's adoption.
Assemblyman Stern, republican,
made an opening speech against the
resolution, taking the ground that
II the legislature took any action at
all it should be in the form of reso-
luton mentioning no names, but
merely telling the United States SEN
ators that the Wisconsin legislature
regretted its seating of the Illinois
an. His substitute resolution was
voted down as was similar resolu-
ton offered by Assemblyman Bichler,
democrat.
The following voted IN favor Of
the adoption of the resolution: Bal

BOARD OF CONTROL ELECTS
Graebner Chosen President of Reor'
gained Body-State School at
Sparta May Be Investigated.

Madison.-The new state board OF
control held it's first meeting today to
organize for the work of coming five
years under the law passed two years
ago. All the new members where
here. They elected these officers:
President, w. H. Graebner, Milwau-
kee; vice-president, .Almah J. Frisby
Milwaukee; corresponding secretary,
Ralph E. Smith, Merrill.
The board did not act upon the
election of secretary as the term does
not expire until July i. At that time
the boards elections of the various
superintendent of state penal and
charftab BILE institutions expire. The
board probably will not take action
on these elections until the end Of
the fiscal year, June 80.
1t was rumored that there were
complaints against the management
of the state public school at Sparta
and that there was a serious move
ment seeking to persuade the board
to demand the Immediate resignation
of Supt. c.. M. Bright. 1t is said
that some of the members of the
board are not satisfied with condi'
tons at Sparta.

WOULD LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT
WITH ITCHING ECZEMA

Ever since I can remember T was
a terrible sufferer Of eczema and
other irritating skin diseases. would
lie awake all night, and my suffering
was intolerable. A scaly humor set.
tied On my back, and being but q
child, I naturally scratched it. 1t
was a burning, itching sensation, and
utterly tntolerable. In fact, it was so
that could not possibly forget about
It. 1t did not take long before 1t
spread to my shoulders and arms, and
/ was almost covered with a mass of
raw flesh on account of my scratching
it. I was in such a condition that my
hands were tied.
"A number Of physicians were call
ed, but it seemed beyond their med
ical power and knowledge to cure
me. Having tried numerous treat
ments without deriving any benefit
from them, had given myself up to
the mercy OF my dreadful malady, but
I thought I would take the Cuticura
treatment as a last resort. Words
cannot express my gratitude to the
one who created The Cuticura Mira
cles,' DIS I have named them, for now
I feel as If never suffered from even
a pimpIe. My disease was routed by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and I
shall never cease praising the wonder
full merits they contain. l will never
be without them, In fact, can almost
dare any skin diseases to attack me
SO long as I have Cuticura Remedies
in the house. I hope that this letter
will give other sufferers an idea of
how I suffered, and also hope that

MILITIA OFFICERS TO TEXAS
Wisconsin National Guard RegimentaI
Heads Are Invited to Join u. S.
Troops on Mexican Forder.

Misunderstanding on a long dis
patch from the war department to-
day, Adjt. Gen. G.. r. Boardman of
the Wisconsin national guard has
asked high officers of the guard if
they will join the United states troops
now being modified in Texas near
the Mexican border.
The telegram from Washington
asks Gen. Boardman to invite his Off
GERS to go to Texas at federal govern
ment expense, 'for observation and
instruction" Acting on the federal
invitation, Gen. Boardman invited the
following officers to take advantage
of the offer: Col. G. HI. Joachim,
Madison, first regiment; Col. Frank
W. Grutzmacher, Ripon, second regi'
ment; Col. Orlando Holway, La
Crosse, third regiment; Capt. R. w.
Mueller, Milwaukee, Troop A; Capt.
P. C. Westfahl, Milwaukee, first bat
terry, and Gen. John B. Edwards,
Mauston, surgeon general.
These names will be submitted to
Washington in case the officers de-
eide to go south, and the war depart
ment undoubtedly will approve orders
for them to accompany the regulars.

LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATING
Men and Animals Have Made Some
Remarkable Fasts Matter
OF Record.

The record for fasting. so far as hu-
manity is concerned, is held by
CRANE, a French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death,
and from the day of his arrest refused
to eat In spite of every effort on the
part Of his warders, who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell, and
when that failed, attempted feeding
him by force, he held out for So days,
at the end Of which time he died. Up
to then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished by
Giovanni Succi, who tasted at the
Royal Aquarium, London, for 45 days.
But these records sink into insignifi-
canoe when compared with the fat
pig of Dover. enshrined In Dr.. w. B.
Carpenters Manual of Physiology"
This pig weighed 100 pounds and was
entombed for 160 days by the fall of
portion Of the chalk cliffs. When
dug out It weighed only 40 pounds,
but to the surprise of it's owner was
alive.

NEARLY EVERYTHING TOUCHED

BEFORE LEGISLATURE.
APPROPRIATION BILLS LEAD
With More Coming in Daily, Pros
poets for Short Session Grow
Dim-Solons May Not Finish Up
Work Before June.

Madison.-Nearly 1,500 bills have
oeen introduced in the legislature,
and more are coming nearly every
day. There were about 1000 bills
introduced in the last session, and it
is probable that this number will be
exceeded long before the present ses-
sion IS over In the assembly over
1000 bills have been introduced,
which is more than was introduced in
this house during the entire session
OF 1909. The senate has not had
SO many bills as two years ago. but
the number will come near that of
the session Of 1909 before the close
of the session
The high number on the list is
bills dealing with appropriations.
There have been lat bills bearing ap-
preparations introduced in both
houses up to the present time Next
to appropriations, schools and mat
ters connected with them are the fav-
orlte, running up to well over 100
Fish and game have nearly ninety
bills to their credit, while bills re-
lating to courts and procedure num-
Der nearly the same.
One of the noticeable features is
the great number of labor bills which
have been introduced, no less than
sixty such bills being on the records
of the two houses. The subject of tax
alton is represented by over seventy
bills. Insurance is also a fruitful
field, and fifty bills have been intro
duced up to the present relating to
the regulation of insurance compan-
les or agents. But thirty bills have
been introduced dealing with bank
ing, but among them are two bills
Of great Importance, the bill pro-
viding for the guarantee of bank de-
posts and the segregation of the
savings deposits.
Cities and municipalities are as
usual well to the fore with bills re-
lating to them. Over 100 bills of
this kind have been introduced. The
range of subjects in the bills already
introduced includes everything from
advice to congress which comes in
the shape of nearly thirty bills, to
constitutional amendment which
have thirty designs for changes in
that ancient institution to ferret bills,
game and taxes. Legislative clog
rolling" and guessing contests in the
newspapers are among the subjects
treated.
With this mass of legislation it is
impossible to tell when the legisla-
ture will adjourn. Optimistic legis-
lators assert that the adjournment
will come early in May, others claim
it will be well along in June before
the legislators shake the dust Of
Madison from their feet

CITY PLUNGED IN DARKNESS
Fire Destroys Racine Electric Light
and Power Plant With $4,000
loss--Makes Factories Idle.

Racine.-Fire which completely
destroyed the power house of the Mil
waukee Light, Heat and Traction
company here, entailing loss of over
$140, 600, plunged the entire city into
total darkness, brought street car
and interurban traffic to a complete
standstill and will result in the clos
ing down of number of factories in
the city which depend on electricity
for motive power.
The blaze started in the roof of
the power house directly over a new
switchboard, and in two minutes hao
gained such Roadway that firemen
were forced to confine their efforts
to saving adjoining buildings. For a
time it seemed as if the big factory
of the Miller Shoe company, the RAJ
cine theater and the car barns would
also go.
The power house is situated in the
heart of town, within a block of the
city hall. After a stubborn battle the
department managed to prevent the
flames from spreading, but were I'M
able to save any of the equipment at
the power house.
1t may be weeks before the system
