the light of his burning corn the Kansas
farmer was enabled to read the mortgage

to stand upon. They had so far made all
ofthe concessions, while the house had
stood upon its dignity and declined to
bulge an inch. But they discovered that
they had a pretty determined lot of men
to deal with in the Democratic council
majority, and these latter were perfectly
willing to go before the people refusing
to give up any territorial money to we'll
paid federal officials, particularly as all
such appropriations were expressly pro-
hibited by the United States laws.
But in order that the house might be
given an opportunity, if they desired to do
SO, to emphasize their determination to
stand up for appropriations for federal
officials doubled over the usual sum in
the case of the gUvernor), a new appropri-
alton bill was drawn up and passed by the
council. This bill provided Tor the pay
ment of the salaries of such additional
legislative employees as are not provided for
by congress, and an appropriation to cover
the expense of Transporting and main
tanning territorial prisoners aud Juvenile
deHnquents. This bill reached the house
few minutes after an lmostprecisely sim
liar bill had been under consideration in
the house. This house bill had at first
been passed. but it was afterward
reconsidered and killed, all reference to it
being %exDunged from the record. The fate
OF the council bill, under these circum-
stances, can readily be imagined. 1t was
killed without ceremony and the council
soon afterward informed of the fact.
A Legislative deadlock vas now preeip-
itated. The house would consider moth.
ing but the governors and secretary's
~contingents. The council would make
no further concessions on these points.
About A o'clock in the morning word was
received from the governor that he had
nothing further to officially communicate
to the legislature. Matters dragged from
that time until 400 yesterday, when the
house adjourned sine die of its W Volt
ton, without any previous notification to
the council that it was prepared for ad-
iournment.
And so concluded the session, with a
clearly defined issue upon which the
members OF the two branches of the legs
lature seem perfectly willing to 20 before
the people. The Democrats can certainly
a nothing better.

The first marriage ceremony l ever per-
formed was one OF the best examples of bash
fulness l ever saw. The groom, n man about
30 years old, came to my house in company
with a we'll known business man, and, after
considerable beating about the bush, asked
me IL l could marry him to the woman of his
choice. Upon my giving an affirmative an
swer, his friend retired, leaving the groom to
perspire, stammer and act generally like a
green school boy. Presently the friend reap
peared with the bride, and, after answering
the usual preliminary questions, took their
places before me. The bride was entirely
self possessed, but the groom was, to use a
popular expression of today, badly ''rattled. 1"
The instant l had ended the prayer which
completed the ceremony the groom drew a
long breath, Strengthened himself and re-
marked frankly: Eve been through twenty.
