IT was q righteous act-that choosing by
the house Of young Conway as a fifth
page. Probably none Of the boys needed
the position worse, as his mother has sew
eral children; and he assists them all he
against each Of the republican caucus
nominees, and he had been defeated.
Then, on motion, a fifth page was author

ticians are not without hearts. A little
fellow whose name had not been men
toned sat crying bitterly when the senate,
after choosing the slate, adjourned. A
motion was made to leconvene and the
little Fellows sorrow was turned to joy by
his being made a page. unanimously.
IT was remarked by many who had wit
messed previous fights over the organization
of the legislature that they had never seen
q contest as quiet as the one which ended
yesterday.
ALMOST every kid in town, who had &C.
cess to his savings bank, rustled up enough
silver to have ballots printed for his page

VIII Power Versus Coughing,
DIR. Brown-Sequard. in one of his lcct-
ures with reference to q check on sncez-
ing, coughing, ETC., says: Coughing can
be stopped by pressing on the nerves on
the lips in the neighDorhood of the nose.
Sneezing may be stopped by the same
mechanism. Pressing in the neighbor-
hood of the ear, right in front of the ear,
may stop coughing. 1t is SO also of hic-
coughing, but much less SO han for sneez-
ing or coughing. Pressing very hard on
the top of the mouth is also a means of
stopping coughing, and many say the will
has immense power.

Donnelly Leads tho Alliance.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. B.-Both branches of the
legislature met at noon to-day and attempt
ed to effect an organization. The senate took
a recess till three O'clock as soon as the
members had been sworn in, but the house
cast one ballot for speaker and then adj
journed till tomorrow. The ballot result

crat, 40; Champiin. alliance, 81. The
parties in both houses have been caucusing
during the day. and at the afternoon seS-
sion the result Of the senate caucusing of
the alliance and democrats was apparent.
The Offices We're equally divided. +. N.

secretary, and the remaining positions
alternating between til" parties. After
choice Of the leading officers the senate
spent the AFTERNOON in debating over TEN
porary rules, and finally adopted the rules
OF the last session, with the exception OF
two sections. Donnelly ac'cd as leader
for the alliance, democratic combine, n
he stated that they wanted committees ap.
pointed by a majority Of the senate and
not by the Acknowledgements, as he was
OF different politics from the majority and
they also wanted the alliance to have the
majority on railroads, grain and ware
houses and banking committees. The
on rules was empowered to re-
port new rules and in the meantime the
old rules will hold, but it is likely that the
commuters Will be chosen by The majority
instead of by the presiding officers. The
session vas long and warm and the com
bine of democrats and alliance held firm on
all points. AS they together have It ma
j0rity Of the senate a continuation OF this
