WASHINGTON, Jan. I7-Although the
House is not able to act upon any bills
introduced, the Senate is now in the full
toe of legislation. A dozen bills have
already passed that body and have been
sent to the House. The work will be
kept up this week. Tomorrow the We'll
and La Abra claims will be discussed in
connection with the pending bills to in
Vestlgate the allegations of fraud in their
allowance. The bill recognizing the
system OF printing and issuing public
documents may also be provocative of
Debate. Senator Kyle will talk about
marriage and divorce, and the executive
sessions during the week Will probably
develop some party feeling, as it is eX-
pected the judicial nominations and FL
mira postmastership Will figure in the
proceedings.
After the introduction of bills to-mor-
row the House will take up the measure
reported by Mr.. Richardson OF the Joint
Committee on Printing, entitled "a bill
providing for public printing and bind
ing and the distribution of public docu-
ments." 1t is expected that at least half
the sessions of the House during the
week will be consumed in the consIdera-
ton of this measure. The bill makes
general revision of the present system of
printing and distributing of public docu-

means of its dampness, this handker-

with other wires, running along which it
reached the water pipes in the cellar.
From these the electricity sprang to the

A Western Wilmington and His Cats.

Here comes a story for YOU which
sounds almost like an out West fairy tale
but | am told that it is strictly true:
During the first days of Pixies Peak,
when that country was being occupied
by mining prospectors, their cabins were
oVerrun with ratS-not your domesticated
house-mice and rats of an old civilized
community, but rats-large, ravenous
rats-with teeth and digestive apparatus
capable of managing anything from a
tough old boot to 4 dainty piece Of break
fast bacon.
This state of affairs came to the knowl-
edge of thrifty Dutchman, poor. but
willing TO earn bright dollar if the way
was only pointed out, and reused his
dormant ideas to take advantage of the
rat nuisance and profit thereby. The
buchanan secured a yoke of oxen, rugged
prairie schooner with three stories. and
filled the same with good cats, which his
neighbors were glad to get rid Of With
this outfit he started across the plains for
Pixies Peak, a tedious journey Of some
600 miles. This. with scant supplies of
game, prepared the cats for an encounter
with their victims.
Their arrival spread joy among the
houSeholderS, and everything was set
aside to purchase cats. When the stock
of our worthy Dutchman had been speed-
lily converted into gold-dusU, he sold his
team, returned on foot across the desert
plains to Omaha with over 81 500. and
bought farm near by. But the climax
OF this venture was attained when his
faithful oxen strayed back to him. -

by the late Senator Plumb just before his
death to that paper. In it he said he was
glad the Times was continuing to discuss
financial questions, "There is abundance

ton is coming to the front in national
way. In fact, the feeling is very strong
to shift the issue from the tariff to the
currency. Something will happen one
