order, in committee OF the whole, Mr..
LELAND in the chair.
Mr.. Oliver moved to strike out all
after the enactinR clause and insert a
section repealing the present boiler in :
spection Jaw. He held that the law
serves no good purpose, and has proven
to be nuisance and a menace to farmers
who frequently are obliged to place men
in charge OF the "quallfed' engineer
who has gone of on a drunk or sns-
mend all operations. The farmers pres
ent showed their appreciation of Mr..
divers position by frequent remarks of
"Tbats so," "That's So" The repeal
was adopted by strong vote.
THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
The Australian ballot law came up for
consideration on concurrent resolution

committee Of four from the house and
three from the senate for its revision.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Ed Rose Of jamestown is looking on
The senatorial zzle-dazzle.
1t is just two miles from the Sheridan
honse TO the capital and return.
The prolonged senatorial fight is wear
ing out the patience of the third house
people and the lobbies Of the hotels are
'.oticeably tbinnpd.
w. E. Dodge is in the city op railroad
business. Mr.. Dodge always leaves a
wake of good fellowship in his rear and
be hoys are glad to see him.
The news of each senatorial ballot is
being received with promptness in all
the towns and cities in the state Much
interest is heinR aroused over the de-
'ayed election, more in fact than il the
republicans had been able to unite
earlier. 1'elegrams from constituents
md visitors from different localities are
arriving.
The commission, consisting of Bank
Examiner Wallace, Andrew BIewett and
W. S Parsons OF Grand Forks appointed
ny the governor to examine the invest
m-nt OF the state school money in bonds
are at work on the job. Mr.. Parsons ls
4 clerk in the United States land Office
and, although republican, held over
under Cleveland's administration.
Senator Casey received yesterday
letter from his little 8 year old nephew
in Washington, enclosing the left hind
DOT of a grave yard rabbit for luck. Ttc
senator showed his charm to Denny
Hannafin and asked him what he thought
bout its power. Denny Immediately
rnlled a left hind foot OF rabbit out OF
his own vest pocket as an answer.
Attorney Amidon of Fargo, one of the
most forcible and accomplished speakers
for the fusion ticket during the last cam
paign. and rising lawyer. is here quietly
trr>lng to turn the course of the eena-
torial stream Bentonward. Amldon and
Benton were law partners. and each es-
'""m the other after the manner of men
who know the worth and merit in each.
That genial North Dakota philosopher,
Hon. Budd Reeves, delivered an exceed
ingly entertaining lecture last Friday
night at the Methodist church, on "Roots
and Other Thugs" Other things were
principally discussed, and wittily com
mented upon by Bndd. who hae 10 other
name before his last and who is bud IN
the freshness and joviallty of his spirits,
although bis hair is etreaked with kindly
gray. The Bnddonian philosophy is OF
cheerful sort. No one can answer the
difficult queries propounded in the
ritual thereof. Neither can any man say
that the anthor is wrong IN many Of bis
characteristic COM luslons. There ia
chance for all of IT'S to he right in dealing
and 'concludlng" with Rndd. He is n
easy platform speaker besides being an
entertaining talker. Long may he wave
in the breeze of North Dakota.
The Tribune contains the following
today: Mr.. Haleht Of jamestown is the
most industrious OF the busy bodies and
pours tales of corruption into tile ears of
all who will listen. One of the CORE
spondents came in to dinner the other
dav and told him that Kinter voted for
Casey. The statement was not true, but
Haight Immediately responded: "Just
rs l expected; he got $1,000 for
that; of course he did"
Thus the Doodle stories are started.
There are several IN the lobby who fatten
on this kind of truck. A senator from
one Of the northern connt.es states that
two years ago Mr. Haieht handed him
his check hook and asked him TO write
ont the sum necessary to meet his cam
paign expenses and put him in harmony
with Mr.. Haight's candidate for the sen
ate. The senator declined to FIJI up the
check. when Mr.. Haight asked him if
$500 would be any inducement. Later. it
was SAID. Bailey Fuller invited him ont
Of his room for offering him a money con-
sideration. Mr.. Haieht declares there
was no truth in these stories an6 yet they
rest on better foundation than any now
being circulated so industriously b. this
gentleman.
