Lasse Bothem who was = member

land il also Z member Of the pres
snt House, tells ofa bloodless scrim-
ags that took place during the SEES
sion in which Stickney, Austin, Cole
and 6tutaman we're participants,
and the weapons used we're long
necked bottles. Several democrats
have represented Union county in
the legislature, they are: Patrick

ael Ryan. Vincent LaBelle, Michael
Glynn, Chas. LaBreeche and n. W.

The members Of the House from
Union county are wide awake, and
ever in their places. Mr.. Sinclair in-
troduced House Till No. 115, A Bill
for an act providing for the taxation
Of Express Companies. Mr.. Gund.
erson House bill No. 1872, A bill for
an act 70 prevent prairie fires. H.
B. 1856 by Mr.. Brouill .tte, A bill for
IN act to amend sections 1546 and
1547, also House bill, 2O7, A bill for
an oct to amend section 1915 Chapt.
IL Of 10 ,,nlitiral code
Mr.. Sinclair has recently been ap-
pointed . member of a special COM
mittee Of seven, to whom all bills
are referred, the subject matter Of
which il the establishment Of new
institutions, also member ola COM
mittee Of one from each Senatorial
district on npportionment. This OF
course il q very important committe,
II is very generally conceded that
the House and Senate are too large
but . REIMBURSEMENT is q many sided
question to deal with, and many an
argument will ne~cessarially have te
be listened to by the committee
The first test on the question Of pro
hibition took place on Friday on tn.
question Of re-submission, Sinclair
and Gund 'rson voted no, Brouilletts
yes. The House vote war 81 no, &C
it il safe to say the House is en-
phatically in favor Of good, and
Home and native Lcnd. And just
here we want to say TIT We never
saw : more sober, sensible business
like lot Of ne,, assembled IN a legis.
lative body, than are these now al
Pierre. In all these one hundred
and sixty inc men there is just one
man who q, f. forgets his manhood
- to place himself in such q condi
ton AZ to be totally unit for bust
ness. Our experience that it il
no earthly . whatever, TO send
man away from home to perform
responsible trust, who is addicted t.
the use Of intoxicating liquor as
beverage.
Listened to . splendid sermon b,
Rev. James Oakley yesterday; b.
has improved very much during tn
years that have passed since b
preached in Elk Point. Before til,
sermon = notice was read that tn
w. G. T. U. would meet at Mrs
Blair's, and we had to think twic
before We could realize that we wer
lar from home. Another inciden
occurred, not . part Of the usual sci
vice; q full bloud Indian and squa,
were married, the man answered I
the name Of John and the womal
TO the name Of Ruth they were nice
y dressed, and the ceremony create'
quite ! ripple OF excitement AKRON
the large audience, . large port:o'
Of whom were strangers. They wer
young Cheyennes.
