SENATOR'S AT PLAY.
The Waiting Hours Taken Up in I'm

The Waiting Hours Taken Up in Inn
promptu Amusements.
The senate took night off last night
and had a good time. The bills that
passed in the night were confined ex-
clusively to the house. Senatorial dig
nifty, a quality more traditional than
real, was cast to the winds, and the COM
mittee chairmen and press representa-
tives joined the pages and cloak room
roustabouts in having jolly time.
After several declamatory efforts by
committee clerks Lieutenant Governor
Iroutman announced, EsThe next will be
an address by Senator Cooke entitled
What l know about being buried alive"
Senator Cooke took the matter very SER
iously and said he had not prepared any
speech.
Senator Dennison responded in the
place of Senator Cooke. He said, ''Last
fall the Republican senators had q big
Notification at an alleged funeral of
Populism, but they will discover that
they buried US alive, and that we are the
liveliest corpse in existence"
Senator Milton Brown was called on
to respond to the toast, talking through
his hat" Senator Brown said the only
time he couldn't talk through hat was
at an opera house or in church.
The committee on roads and bridges
submitted a report compelling all road
overseers to plant a six-foot post at every
ford with this legible inscription upon
it-'When this post is covered by water
the ford is impossible"
Senator Dennison was asked to talk
about 1.-THE profit of running the Judi
ciary committee according to the herd
law" but declined.
A motion to have Senators Smith and
O'Bryan sing a duet carried-but they
didn't "carry the air"
One of the senators took the floor and
said, MIR President, I ask unanimous
consent to introduce bill"
"Whst is the bill?" asked Mr.. Trout
man.

ways and means committee" The SEN

few lines--five lines as a general thing
The fun lasted until message came
over from the house extending the time
on appropriation bills from midnight
last night until noon today. OF course
this had to be acted upon by the senate
and the festivities were called to a close
at about midnight

SUMS OF MONEY PAID OUT

BY the miscellaneous Appropriation Bill
Many Topeka People Not Forgotten.
There are a whole lot of utter esting
figures in the miscellaneous appropria-
ton bill. While the committee handled
| it as carefully as possible in the tremen-
dous rush at the closing hours of the ses-
sion, it is full of bad or at least indiffer-
ent claims as well as good ones. It is
probably no worse than in previous
years. The total amount appropriated is
about $50. 1000.
W. w. Martin, the state agent of Kan
sas at Washington, got his thumb in the
legislative pie to the extent of 81, 119.
| This is said to be his ten per cent of
claims collected by Kansas from the
| government
Then there is little item of s., 800 for
the state board of agriculture, a mere
nothing as compared with the nice, new
| $4,000 irrigation board.
OF course Lew Hanback, is down, it
wouldn't do to forget Comrade Hanback,.
| He gets 800 for legal services at the
Botkin impeachment trial, and S. B.
Bradford, of Topeka, gets similar sum
for like services.
Representative Cannon, who said ct
was up four nights investigating the
state charitable institutions, and if you
don't want to pay me back. why you can
keep itl' decided not to let them keep ii,
and got out his $21.90.
a score of other Legislators received
like per diem and mileage.
1t appears to have been an unusually
working session. for Reading Clerks
Charley Martin and l. s. Sears got 500
in the bill for extra services. making
$3.50 for the session, instead of $3.50 like
the others.
The committee clerks applied for and
got time for extra services in sums from
$25 to $50.
The house furniture bill amounted to
81. 1880, which went to Reed & Tomlin-
son and NJ. c. Holman of Topeka.
The senate furniture bill was 81, 040,
which included a nice, leather upholster-
ed sofa which General Sears bought for
the ways and means committee room
Speakers George l. Douglass ami J.
81. Dunsmore are down in the sum Of
$75 each for arbitrators in contest cases
two years ago.
The list would not be complete with
out mentioning little matter OF $21230
in claims for some investigation when S
w. Chase's management of the state pen
itentiary was examined into by legisla-
tive committee.

two or three times with the gavel, as he
would try an axe handle, and stated the

the house had Mr.. Cannon in the chair,
the members hardly knew what to do
with him. Mr.. Rohrbaugh moved that
the woman suffrage bill be taken up.
"That has nothing to do with the state
of the union. Sit down." said Mr.. Can

"Really, Mr. Chairman, wish we could
have better order. We can't hear any
thing that is said"

Mr.. Eckstein offered a resolution

non protested to be greatly offended at
this and ordered Mr.. Eckstein brought
before the bar of the house. Mr.. Cannon
condemned him to recite piece, and he
gave "All the worlds a stage" When
he came to the words seven in the Can

noise.
Just here Mr.. Cannon laid down his

looked fxedly at his fingers and said:

Mr.. Benedel had been trying to get

wouldn't recognize him. Finally, after q
long lull during which nothing was said,
Mr.. Cannon announced, "If no one else
wants to talk the gentleman from Mont
| gomery may have the floor.
Judge Sutton had stood for a long time
looking appealIngly toward the chair
Mr.. Cannon suddenly discovered him and
said: "Now, what do you want?"

senate business had come in. The house
was in a state of continual uproar during
the whole performance.

AS ]. E. Shafer was passing the head
quarters of the association recently he
saw three colored girls come out of the
building. They carried a sack half full
of clothing and provisions. When they
reached the alley they stopped, united
the sack and made hasty examination
of the contents. Evidently what they
found did not please them, for walking
farther down the alley they emptied the
entire contents of the sack on the ground
and walked away.
