walking back and forth across the

"We can save it all by burning
Kerosene"
Don't try to be funny, Mrs.
Bowscr. The gas bill is a serious
thing. If can save anywhere from
$50 to $40 per month by the outlay
Of a couple Of dollars at tie start,

"No."
"Of course not, and yet you as

is a bellows inside the meter. The
bellows Is arranged to force the gas

WASHINGTON CRY. Nov. 9-The Rspub
hcans expect TO have 256 members m ths
next house. majority of I56 over all. In
the senate the Republicans will have
forty-ioar members. or as many as the
Democrats and Popalists combined.
point that has been overlooked in
computing the political complex on of the
next senate is the admission of Utah with
two senators. The act of the last session
OF congress admitting Utah provides tha,
IN March, 1895. the constitutional
convention shall be held. On the first
Tuesday after the first Monday of Navem-
Der OF that year the constitution is TO be
submitted TO the people, and if ratified and
found by the president TO be in accordance
with the act. he will issue a proclamation
admitting 1t as state. The act also pro-
vides that representative 10 the
fifty-fourih congress shall be elected
at the same time the vote is taken
upon the constitution: also that
the state officers and legisla-
tule shall be chosen, and that if
the constitution is ratified the legislature
shall Immediately meet and elect two
United states senators. As there is about
month from the time the election is held
ehth TIC rAkb-1OuFtn congress meets.
there will be ample time 10 have all the
formalities complied with. and Utah pro-
claimed state in time for its senators
and representatives to participate in the
organization OF the next congress- This
would make in all ninety senator's. and as
the next senate now stands the politics of
the Utah senator's would cut an important
figure.
Another probability which arises is the
admission of both New Mexico and Ari-
zona. which may be accomplished in time
SD that four more senators would partici-
pate in the organization of the next SEN
ate. Bills have already passed the house
for tho admission of both these territories.
The senate committee on territories has
reported them favorably to the senate, and
they are now on the calendar Senators
of both parties have been urging their
passage.
1t is. therefore, quite likely that the bat
tie Tor the control of the senate will be
fought out In Utah, New Mexico and Ari-
zona next year. The admission of these
new states would make total of 94. and
any party to control would need 4s for a
majority. With the vice president the
Democrats could control the senate with
AZ senator's.

today in the superior court here on note
of 81 ,9al, which ]. l.. De Voin. of this city.
gave him as McNaught's half of bonuses
received by De Voin on the sale of Ana
cortes land for a syndicate represented by
McNaaght. DE Noin was the only wit
ness placed on the stand today. and then
the case was continued until Tuesday. De
Voin does not deny having executed the
note, but he does claim that McNaught

amount. ior swinging the Anacories deal

Stacey, John Collins and others. He did
not know that Mcknight was to receive
that amount until Mcknight was sued for
the purchase price of the land. and during
the trial the details of the trans
action were made known. De
yoin at once claimed that he was
entitled to a portion of McNaught's
lee, inasmuch rs he had given him half,
or 1881, of the bonus secured by him of
the Tacomans who went in on the deal.
That is the reason set up for non-payment
of the note. Some OF De Voin's friends
are now wrathy because he secured
bonus on the deal. just as De voin is
wrathy because of McNaught's fat fee,
about which he knew nothing at the
the time. Much of The syndicate's land is
in litigation, as John q. Niggle, one of the
witnesses called here today, says pay
ments in full were not made for the
property.
