that the ladies wanted it. This bill pro-
vides for penalties to those who are cruel
to animals.

cussed, a message came up from the house
requesting the senate to keep in session
until the house got ready to 60 home.
Mr.. LAMOURE said that he guessed the
senate would adjourn sine die when it got
ready, and would go home. He intimated
that the house had better attend to its W
knitting.

quent speech in favor of house bill 2l2. He

The recess being over, house bill IS was
taken up again. After the first section had
been read, a motion to table was lost. An
other section was followed by a motion to
