county Of Oliver. and was here to stand for

county of Oliver. and was here to stand for
her rights.
Mr.. OLIVER suggested that the bill be re-
ferred to the representatives from the west
SIDE Of the river. and let them present
their case III committee and bring in their
conflicting reports, ii they could not agree,
and not involve the members in their local
wrangle as long as it as possible to avoid
It. The house did not have time during its
hours OF meeting to waste in fruitless dis
cussion, but he did van t. see fair play to
the citizens Of Oliver.
Mr.. TUFTS as one of the committee
hoped 1t would be recalled and that the
west Missouri emo would settle their
" quarrels. The bill! wa recalled BY 81
to 2,
Mr.. BENTLEY moved to re.commit to a
committee consisting of the senators and
representatives from the west side Of the
river.
Mr.. SIMPSON protested and insisted
that the proposition was unfair, as the ma.
jOrity of such u committee would he against
tnem. The bill had been before one COM
mlttee and had been reported unanimously.
There was no objection made to it then.
Mr.. JOHNSON of Sargent, said he did
not report in favor of the bill, but admitted
he did not object.
MI. ELLIOTT moved as a substitute that
the bill be referred to the committee Of the
whole and made a special order for Friday
at III a. NJ, which motion prevailed.
ILLUMINATING OILS.
Mr.. ELLIOTT was only prevented by
sickness from introducing bill on this sub
ject. He will now offer it as an amend
ment to the bill introduced to-day. That
raises the test from 100 to 12O; Mr.. Elliott
Will raise it from 100 to 40, and prohibit
the use OF materials which cause q low
grade of oil to stand the flash test. He
states that oils which stand the flash test
under present methods Of manipulation,
freeze at zero and the lights 60 out, and
insists that the legislature should project
The people from such imposition.
