until Rhodes had compelled him to
come in by cutting off his supply of
coal, Rhodes had threatened to cut
him off several TIRES. Rhodes told him
when he joined that he would inform
him as to the prices, and he lived up to
those prices. He did not sign any
agreement Or attend any meetings.
Rhodes had asked him to let him know
Of anyone cutting prices and he would
shut off his supply and it would be the
same with him if he cut. He had been
coerced into joining.
j. +. Ritchie Of St. Paul, another fuel
dealer, belonged to the bureau and had
met Rhodes several times. Rhodes had
made personal request to him to come
in, but he held out awhile, although
Rhodes gave him to understand that his
supply would be cnt off. Rhodes price
regulated his business as that of the
other fuel dealers. Mr.. Ritchie was the
last witness of the evening and routine
business was taken up.
The senate passed the house bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the erection
of new capitol by vote of 81 to 10, or
six more than enough for passage. and
the bill will now go to the governor.
The minority made strong fight
against the bill and some very spicy
speeches were made.
The fight began with the opening of
the afternoon session, when Senator
Leavitt moved that the bill be referred
to the finance committee. He explained
that one of the senate rules provided
that every appropriation bill should be
referred to the finance committee and
that the constitution provides that no
bill shall be passed, except in accord
ance with the rules Of the senate. His
point was that this bill could not be on
it's third reading until it has been
passed upon by the finance committee.
The measure was fought by Donnelly

AT THE GRAVE OF DICKENS.
A Ten-Year- -Old's Tribute in the Forr
of q Bunch of NinIets

On recent Saturday evening a little
fellow, apparently about 10 years of age.
was seen to enter Westminster Abbey
shortly before evening prayers, says the
Pdtt Mat Budget. Going straight up
the main aisle toward Poets corner with
a directness that showed his knowledge
of the position by custom, he stood bare
headed and reverently over the grave of
Charles Dickens. Then, looking around
in evident doubt as to whether his action
might give offense to the authorities. he
produced tiny bunch of violets with an
envelope attached and, kneeling down.
placed his tribute tenderly upon the
tombstone. The little fellow hoyered
affectionately around the spot for a few
moments, and glancing round to see that
his tribute remained undisturbed, went
with a happy, satisfied look, and took his
place for the service. Curiosity led one
of our representatives, who happened to
be present at the time, to examine the
childish offering, and this was what he
found written in half-formed characters
on the envelope attached to the unas-
suming violets:
For it is good to be children some
times. and never better than at Christ
mas, when its mighty founder was a
child himself" = Dickens ''Christmas
Carol"
