oUR STATE CONSTITUTION.


The peculiar wording of our consti-
tuition, In some OF It's sections, has given
much trouble 70 the Legislature and
courts, and Is always q thorn In the side
Of the politicians. The section IN which
We moro particularly refer Is that re-
latinR To representatives. The constitu-
ton says two things,-thTee In fact-goV-
erning this matter. 1. That every conn-
ty ehall haye at least one member In the
house, II II appears there were cast
In the county $50 votes at tue last pre-
ceding general election 2. That the
house shall never exceed 125 members.
3. That the representation shall ee based
upon population, 50 aPportionnsst TO
bs made every ftvtB years.
In 1881 an apportionmeut was made
and 125 members provided tor. In
1882 some Of our western counties had
recorded more than $50 votes, and sent
representatives demanding admission.
Now, the constitution guaranteed these
counties representation, and the legisla-
ture dare not refuse TO give them seats.
Sull, under the apportionment, also con-
stitutonal, we had the limit Of members
already 1875.
The more important and serious re-
suits Of this complication occurred in
the passage of laws by bare majority.
What would be the ultimate decision OF
the courtsr Could only 1875 votes be
countedG II 30, which were the the legal
votes and which the illegal, and was
not our entire Legislation in jeopardy in
case OF legal contestin which the ques-
ton should be raised
We might here also refer To the clause
Of apportionment. The apportionment
Is required 70 be made every five years.
That was all right 80 long as we had an
nuAl sessions; but when we changed to
biennial sessions, the relation OF the
change to spportiOnment should also
have been considered. But it was not
The legislative sessions, IhereIOre,
occur in the odd wears and the appor-
tIonment must be made in the even
numbered years, necessitating an ex-
pensIve extra session.
All these difficulties have occurred in
changing certain sections of the constl-
tuition without reference to its bearing
upon or relation TO other sections.
In the present appOrtionment,th the east
ern and populous counties will have to
surrender some members To illus
trate the delightful workings of our be-
nign constitution, take Finney
and Lyon counties. Each has
one member. Finney has 1,497

courtesy We shall probably be allow

that il Is = very unequal representation

How She Brought Him Around.

Marriage, says the San Francisco
ChroHicle, has long been considered as
more or less of lottery. 1t is like a
lottery in more than the drawing.
Drawing blank once only makes you
go into it again The fact is, to lose a
husband or draw one she has got to
get rid of is a reflection upon the
woman and wounds her vanity. She
feels she must marry again Just to
show it was not her fault. and she is
much hkelier to be happy in the second
venture. The experience of the first
helps her to better understanding of
the second. and the unpleasantness of
the loss teaches her to yield very often
where her natural inclination would be
to kick. But there's one woman very
happy now. whose husband probably
will never know that he was brought
up to the scratch in very simple but
effective way.
II have come to ask you If you can
help me to some work." she said. She
was a finely educated, very attractive
woman. ''My husband has turned out
quite worthless. / have had to leave
him, and i am now compelled to sup
port myself"
81 am very sorry, but 1 am afraid 1
cannot give you any work. Do you
propose to support YOURSELF"
i've got to-"
Look here, that's all nonsense.
You're young, pretty, attractive. Why
don't you marry again?"
Marry again! Never. I've had
enough of il.
+ Nonsense; you'll have better luck
this time. Haven't you any admirers?"
20, yes"
s.Any one you likea''
Yes. There's one young gentleman
very much gone on me. He's well off;
has very nice position"
That's the man. You marry him."
"But he's bashful and backward,
and I've got to do something right
away. have no money"
That's bad.''
''Do you mind assisting me to bring
him to the point?''
Certainly not. Tell me how, and
I'll be most happy to do anything"
'Weli," and she hesitated; ''if you
wouldn't mind. You see, he's very,
very backward, but he's very fond of
me, and think he means business.
Now, if you will put on your best
clothes and come up-you see, he's
coming to call upon me Tonight"
Certainly. FL call tonight with
pleasure; but"
''Of course shall not tell him you're
married-you understand; and if
you li-weii, he might get jealous, per-
haps, and that would be something,
you know
20, see. Eli be there"
So the lady went of, and the ad-
wiser dressed himself in gorgeous array
and called at her house. The bashful
lover was there, and it was not fifteen
minutes before he got wildly jealous of
the new beau. The rival worked it up
for all it was worth, and when the
backward adorer got to the infamma-
tory point of jealousy where a fight
was probably imminent the confederate
lit out, left him the field, and in the
brief explanation of the next five min
utes he had committed himself to an
immediate marriage. She deserved
him.

An Amusing Incident.
Washington correspondent, writing

Washington correspondent, writing
to the New York Herald, says: An
amusing story is told of the mistake
that befel one of the new department
officials recently. The official referred
to halls from the boundless west, and
was only recently placed in charge of
one of the bureaus of prominent de-
partnent. He was very anxious to
become a member of the order of Odd
Fellows. Some of the members of the
order ascertaining this, his name was
proposed and he vas accepted. The
next question was his initiation. He
was invited to appear at one of the
down town halls one evening last week
for initiation. One of the rooms of the
hall referred to is also used by body
of Knights of Labor. Both hall rooms
are on the second floor. The Odd Fell
room. while the Knights of Labor turn
to the lett. The same ante-room or
outside hall does duty for both orders.
1t appears that the Knights of Labor
expected a candidate, and they were
waiting for him. As soon as the gen.
tleman referred to reached the outer
door to the ante-room the outside gen.
tleman met him with a pleasant smile
and asked: care you to be initiated
Tonight" The official, supposing that
the sentinel did the outside business
for the Odd Fellows, answered that he
expected to have the honor" With
out any further waste of words the
outside sentinel informed his comrades
there was candidate for initiation in
waiting. The doors were soon opened,
and the official was led into the initia-
tion-room. There was the usual chant
song, and the officers of the council
began reading their lessons, which are
read to all candidates for initiation.
The ceremony was moro than half over
when the official suspended the further
proceedings by remarking to the wor-
shipful master in loud tone of voice;
81 am the right man, but think from
what have heard SO far that am in
the wrong place; don't want to hear
any more lessons about labor, for

a Queer story From Denver.

DENVER. Colo, Dec. "A strange
and what caused quite serious incl
dent occurred in the city OF Gunnison
last evening. AS Mrs. Robert Harris
and Mrs. E. W Eastman were taking;a
walk near the western edge of town with
baby carriage containing an infant,
they encountered pet deer, which i'm
mediately showed disposition to fight.
The mother grabbed the child from the
carriage Just as the deer fastened Its
horn in the wheels and sent the vehicle
over its head. Rushing upon the woman
with the infant, he gave them a similar
toss, landing them IN the brush near the
roadside and badly bruised. While the
other woman was endeavoring to avoid
the sharp horns a young man rushed to
the rescue with dog, but the angry
beast settled the dog with one thrust,
and then sprang upon the young man,
who fired two Intellectual shots from 9
revolver, which only served to increase
the dser's anger. He sprang upon the
man and thrust one antler through his
thigh, INJECTING an ugly wound As he
stood over his PROSTATE victim, 8 sec

scene, killed the animal with double
bsrreled shotgun. The injuries TO the

6 O'Clock In the evening the Iron City,
in running down the river, was swung
onto a bar, where she went aground. Up
to the time of the explosion, the vessel
tried to back off into deeper water, and
shortly after 2 O'Clock final effort was
made. The engines were forced to their
fullest capacity, but the boil ers could
not stand the pressure, and collapsed.
The water was shallow and the crew,
with the exception of two, escaped to
q bar from which thsy were taken
by reseuing parties, and all possible
done for the injured. The remains of
Ashton were removed to his home. The
Iron City was built here eleven years
