JEFFERSON CITY.

Proceedings of the Legislature.
Special to the TINES
Tuesday bad been set apart to
eulogize the late Senator James c
McGiunis. The widow and sons of
the late Senator were present and
due, probably, to this being the first
opportunity to air their oratory and
in part to the character of the man
eulogized, the addresses were un-
usually fine.
War reminescenses are Senator
Bledsoe's forte and at the Camp
Fire" last week he made the speech
of the evening. He says he was
much more at home in battle than
he is in legislative halls, but he is
popular in the Senate and it is whis
pered that the near future may bring
greater honor to the venerable SOL
der.
Bates has been without a repre-
sentative in either house during this
week. Senator Ballard returned
Monday after protracted attack of
la grip but after half days service
was taken sick again and up to Fri
day was not able to get home, but is
now at his home with no immediate
prospect Of return. The fire at
Johustown took DR. Choate home,
but will probably return the early
part of the week.
There is a great desire on the part
of this assem- bly,no limited to party
to increase the revenue OF the state
by reducing all officers now receiv-
ing fees to salary basis and having
all fees returned to the State Treas
ury.
