would be sufficient for the purpose.
There is no bill covering this ques-
tton. and 1t Is not likely that anything
can be done this session, as a direct
appropriation for the building would
be necessary, the land grant being in
such form as to prohibit the sxpendi-
ture Of any OF the funds for that pur-
pose. The capitol commission bill was
killed yesterday.
Kill Car Line Bill Again.
The proposal that the state con.
struct an extension to the Capitol City
street car line upon Ninth avenue. in
this city, was turned down again by
the house yesterday. The same action
was taken two years ago.
The Ninth avenue line probably will
be required when the new capitol IL
constructed, but is not. needed at the
present time.
Must Buy Some Lots Back.
Because the state has sold certain
lots that make up q part Of the capi-

purchase them and clear up the title.
For that purpose the state affairs COM
mittee OF the house yesterday recon-
mended that an appropriation OF

Cigarette Bfll is Resented.
When Governor Hanna yesterday
attached his signature making the an
ti-cigarette bill effective, he provided
that after July all manufactured
cigarettes. cigarette papers and ma
terials, shall be barred from sale in
this state.
The anti-cigarette bill has not been
received with favor by the German
Russian population Of this section,
and 1t is an extremely potent force in
local politics. Ninety per cent Of the
men of Morton county, Logan, McIn-
tcsl1, Sheridan and several adjoining
counties. are declared to be cigarette
smokers. and to them this bill comes
into particular disfavor. This same
element is also largely anti-prohibi-
ton. and they doubtless will Increase

least outward appearances Of harmony
between the leaders Of the new
regime. A collapse of revolutionary
movements both in the north and
south appears imminent. The latest
adherent to the government is Gen.

New Ambassador.

Washington, Feb. .s27.-The appoint

to the United States in the person of
Emilio Rabaso is expected to have the
effect OF bringing to speedy issue
the question Of rsedfn nttiosS by this
government of the ply. isionals govern
ment Of Mexico. Until the present re.
lations between the two governme ents
have been on defacto basis, and the
administration is not committed to a
political recognition of the IIuerta
government. Since the Carranza re-
volt has taken form. military authori-
ties here concluded that it is too carly
to plan any considerable reduction of
the American military force on the
Mexican border.

Chicago, Oct 21-The first snow

Monday night on the wings of 3O-mile
northwest wind. The snow did not
last long, but it was of the blizzard
variety for a short time. Wisconsin
suffered severely from a gale that
swept the state.
Wisconsin cities brought the same
news-that a frightful blizzard was
raging. Railroad traffic is practically
at a standstill; telegraph and tele-
phone service is demoralized, and in
one city, Ashland, the street cars were
forced to suspend operation because
OF the snow.
Other points in the Mississippi val

The Wisconsin blizzard however,

bad weather The snow belt at mid
night was from Fond du Lac, $50
miles north of Chicago, across the
state to the west and north to the
Lake Superior line
All shipping on Lake Superior has
sought shelter, and three men were
drowned in Jhequamegou bay at Ash
land when their gasoline launch was
upset by the heavy seas. Details of
the Ashland blizzard are meager.
Two hunters on Shawano lake, George

MAY CLEAR MURDER MYSTERY
Case of Staying Near Altoona in 1903
Reopened by Confession of Man
Held in Chicago.

Eau Claire.-The my stery of muir
der committed near Altoona more than
five years ago may be cleared up by
the confession of Robert Hodgins, held
In Chicago, who admits that he per-
petrated the crime for the purpose OF
robbery. In November, 1908, the body
of w. E. Murray, a railroad laborer,
was found on the outskirts of Altoona.
His skull had been crushed and
large sum of money he was supposed
to carry was missing. George White,
another laborer, was arrested for the
crime, but finally acquitted for lack
of evidence The story told by Hod-
gins to the Chicago officers closely cor
responds to the facts of Murray's muir
der and the Eau Claire county officials
will probably bring him here and re.
open the case.
