dawn to work and not waste our time in
useless discussion.
Mr.. DOUGLAS was ready to vote on
this motion a week ago, and he was ready
nOw. AS he said before. the state ilstitu.
tioDs were locates by adeal in the constiln.
tional convention. He was against the
deal, II fought it as hard as he could.
But the results OF the deal went in the
of the people. The capital was awarded
to Bismarck under the provisions of that
Instrument. She has complied with all
that was asked of her, II this capital is
her right. A gentleman last week on the
floor said he blushed to hear me say that
the location of the institutions was a deal:
but l should blush to vote for this bill,
which l believe is unfair.
The motion to lay on the table was lost,
the indefinite pOstpOnement carried, there
was a rustic OF graveyard habillments and
the ghost, taking up its stuffed club,
again fitted away to the spirit land, to APP
pear no more unless at some subsequent
session it may be found necessary to call
upon it to round up the delegation from
the slope.
Then came a motion to rise and report,
whereupon Farmer Kearney, still in the
chair, asked the speaker to "send some one
else up here"

and, with the announcement from the
chairman that "the committee rises,' the
house resumed its session.
AGAIN IN REGULAR SESSION.
Speaker Allen resumed the chair, and
the report of the committee of the whole
was adopted by a vote of So TO Z, Messrs.
BjOrnson, Burton, bennett. Haight, Han
son, Hottie and Peterson voting in the
negative.
was put and carried.
Mr.. WILLIAMS moved to expunge
from the journal all reference to the rejo-
cation matter.
This was seconded by Mr.. Axvlg.
Messrs. Lutz, Gill, Burke and Brooke
were opposed. The latter said that he
didn't want his record ON this question
eXDunged.
Mr.. GILL was willing to have anything
on the journal expunged so far as it re-
lated to Mr.. Williams.
The motion to expunge was decided out
of order.
Next on final passage was a substitute
for house bill 113, relating to the giving of
liens on crops for seed grain furnished.
Mr.RlCHlE offered an amendment giving
counties the same power over the crop
gage now have.
The substitute, as amended, passed..
The substitute for house bill 1856, relat-
ing to reports of county treaSurerS came
up, aud the clerk proceeded to call the
roll.

said he was on the fence.
In changing his vote to "aye" Mr.. Axvig
made a stirring speech.
The bill passed.
The substitute for house bill 151, making
notes of stenographers' legal evidence, was
next considered.
Messrs. Brooke, Strom, Fiske, Oliver and
Lutz spoke against the bill, and Mr.. Bur-
ton favored 1t.
Mr.. KEARNEY moved to indefinitely
postpone.
Mr.. BENNETT thought 1t ungenerous
to move indefinite ~postponement just as
the members were about to examine the
substitute.
Mr.. FAY then suggested ar amendment
by adding the words. lin civil C 'ses." But
the bill was indefinitely postponed.
A substitute for house bill l58, providing
for publication OF reports of commissioner
of agriculture and labor. was passed.
At this point MIR. Skinner was seen by

one eye closed, and Mr.. Kearney moved
that the sergeant. alarms be requested to
awaken the members.
A substitute for house bill l56, relating
to the procurement of statistics for the
commissioner of agriculture, was read
first time.
The substitute for house bill It's, amend
ing the noxious weeds law so as to include
the Russian thistle, was next in order.
Mr.. OLIVER explained that this variety
of thistle was being introduced into the
southern part OF the state by the Russian
immigrants. 1t was akin to the tumble
weed and was very troublesome.
Mr.. KEARNEY made Mr.. Oliver ex-
plain the meaning of the botanical terms
'carena fatua" and ~"sobSOla colinapall,'
and, after immaterial amendment, the bill
encountered a successful roll call.
House bill las, a coupler-and-brake bill,
was indefinitely postponed, no n making
a serious objection.
House bill 1853, also, on the suggestion OF
its author, MIR. Strom, took the same
course.

vent speculation in their offices by county
