Mr.. Thurman then proceeded to close
the debate. He said the bill was not
fromed on the idea embraced in Blaine's
amendment. That amendment pro-
posed to make a law that should stand
for twenty long years, and 1t is pro
posed to go father and surrender the
power to alter, amend, or repeal. For

Senator on this floor or Representative
in the:.House Of Representatives. 1.-THE

would give much more than the sum

from Sidney, where the heaviest work of

teams all along the line. They will be
laying iron in ten days at the Hastings
end of the route; and Mr.. Reynolds said
the entire line would be completed by the

The Armory.

The COMMITTEES Of the council and that
of the Rodman Rifles were in consultation
last evening discussing the new armory
project. The result is not yet known but
enough encouragement was extended to
foster hope that the new building will
become fact and not mere conjecture
The location is still undecided, although
pretty well narrowed down to the locations,
either David Don's lot corner 18th street
and Sd avenue, or Hon. Bailey Davenport 8
lot opposite the soldiers monument on
18th street Don's lot affords, probably
the best location, the only question being
the price, which is far 10 excess OF the
18th street lot, Tonight the Rifles have
another meeting when definite action will
probably be taken.
