TOREKA, Feb. 26-When senate bill
No 95, an act for the relief Of Emporia
and Lyon county came up. being the
one in relation to the money appro-
priated for the rebuilding of the State
Normal school building, il was antagon-
lied by Senators Finch, Ware, r ddle
and Clark. Senator CogsweiI explained,
as did Senator Thacher, that no money
was to be taken from the perm lnent
school fund nor the latter to be de-
pTived of any money, the fund being
amply protected by the endowment fund
of the Normal school, Those senators,
however, who antagonized the measure
denounced if as the violation of an oh.
legation, the same as they had de-
nounced the bill for the relief of Law.
renee for the bonds issued to erect the
magnificent building occupied by The
state university. II did not seem &C. be
understood that should this bill pass the
state school fund is deprived of moth
ing for the amount that the fund paid
for the Emporia NOrmsl school bonds
is to be repaid. The state can lose moth.
ing for she has the Normal building,
one of the finest IN the west Some
senators and a great many members OF
the house are inclined To be pcssimIs4ic
upon many subjects, bat they are not
aware that their chef fault, in many in
stances, is that they antagonizc meas
ures that are meritorious in every way.
The friends of this bill will! make a
strong effort to get this bill through,
though owing to the lateness of the
season they may not succeed.
DRAWING NEAR THE END.
"Wednesday Will DC the last day of the
session. hut unless something ualer.
seen turns up the final adjamrnmcht will
not take place later than Saturday.
There are great many things 10 do and
they will not all be done, nor would
they be, for that matter, if the session
were to last fifty days longer. The aver.
age number of bills passed at a session
of the Kansas legislature has been some
thing over fifty, and The number this
time will not exceed that number. So
far the governor has not vetoed single
bill, but there arc some who propIcsy
that when the railroad bill reaches him
he may withhold the executive approx
al. In that case AN extra session would
foilow, as matter OF course. IL has
been found that about one bifI out OF
every fifteen introduced into the state
parliament becomes law, and in that
case, provided the general average holds
good this time, the number of bills thai
will become laws this time will not be
above fifiy, IS up tn the present time a
little over seven hundred have Irea in.

Trouble in q Jersey Church.

There IL trouble in the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Wallpack Centre,
Sussex County, n. j., not far over the
State line from Milford, Pa, and it has
developed a very singular feature.
When the church was built, some ten
years ago, the peopl. were divided on
the site. The wound was healed up by
time, but there has always been sore
ness on the part of certain members of
the congregation regarding this matter,
which they cannot get entirely over
The choir finally became the centre of
the quarrel. Part of the congregation
wanted their organist and certain
singers, while the other side of the
ousedemanded that they be recognized.
For few months back the quarrel has
been getting more bitter and more
open, in spite of the earnest efforts
of the pastor to quell the i'll feelings.
A few days ago there was to be a
special occasion in the church, for
which another organist was engaged.
The audience was amazed to find on
gathering at the church that most
singular Transformation had taken
place, and their organ presented o
strange and uncouth appearance 1t
looked more like gigantic bird than
like manufactured musical instru-
ment. Some one had effected an
entrance to the church, and after
daubing the organ inside and out with
tar had sprinkled on bountiful supply
Of feathers. The whole organ, cover,
keyboard, stops and pedals, and every
part within reach had received the
double coat There is intense excite.
ment in the community over the deed,
the more so as there can be found no
clue to the perpetrator of the outrage.
