TOPEKA, Jan. 13.--After continuous session

In the Senate the senators-elect were sworn in
and adjournment until evening was then taken.
In the House, after the new members were
sworn in, j. b. Cooms, of Miami county, was
elected temporary chairman in accordance with
the Alliance caucus. The chairman labored un-
der great embarrassment and was s'rattled" at
every motion. The House then adjourned until

afternoon, and succeeded in electing the officers
nominated in the Alliance caucus last night.
The unanimity which prevails in the Alliance
ranks is said by politicians to look very bad for
the hopes of Ingalls, friends that competition
among the Alliance aspirants for his seat would
create division which might result in his re-
election.
The executive committee of the State Farmers
Alliance considered he Turner letter today, and
found McGrath biameless in the matter. What
other conclusions were arrived at were not
diyulged. Delegates from 800 towns villages

One of these is expressed in an old
rhyme which is familiar to us all:
'Change the name ana not the letter.
You change for the worse and hot for the better"
Another is that the day must be fine,
in accordance with the old-time saw:
"Happy Is the bride the sun shines on"
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains on"
There is still another superstition
POLITICALLY rendered that u brides ward
robe must contain:
s'Something old and something new,
Something borrowed, something blue"
II is considered very bad fortune for
a bride to make her own wedding cake
or to have anything to do with it; and,
strange as it may seem, 1t has been OBJ
served over and over again In unhappy
marriages that the bride had stirred
the wedding cake.
To lose the wedding ring in the first
month of marriage augurs great mis-
fortune. To lose 1t mt any time is sup
posed to predict u calamity. There Is
an explanation of this superstition
which is of the same theory that time
will cure NIL ills:

So wear away life's cares
