"A new feature of the fish and game
laws being prepared for passage by
this Legislature, and feature that will
please all true sportsmen, is a clause
providing that a hunter or fisherman
caught violating the law can lose by
confiscation, not only his rod or gun,
but his automobile or other conveyance
as well. That should help not little
in stimulating courage to resist tempta-

The meteor which flashed across
northern Illinois and southern Wiscon-
sin, Monday night, February u. has
been discovered on the north banks of

a force that sounded like a dynamite

1T is generally believed about town
that an agent of the federal secret
service was here early this week to in
vestigate the utterances of three of

Whitewater Register.
Last fall, at the special session of
the Legislature, an amendment to the
town caucus law was made, providing
that towns should hold their caucuses
at least fifteen days before town meet
ings. The law was not published in
many weekly newspapers, and only as
matter of news, when it was publish
ed, the only official publication being
made in the state. In consequence,
the new law was unknown in many
towns, and the town caucuses which
should have been held on March II, or
earlier, were not held until the oath.
So many towns were found to be in
this predicament that special law was
rushed through and published on Fri
day, which legalized the acts of all
caucuses held on the oath, for this year
only. The law will be more generally
known, next year, and such complica-
tions are not likely to rise.
