sttute will be introduced upon which
there will be general agreement.

feet and, clapping his hands in front of
Mr.. Wyman's face, shouted: Then why
don't you vote for Willis Sweet for United
States senator? He is the choice of the
majority of your party"
The outburst was greeted by handicap

IN THE SENATE.
In the senate, the bill to divide Koote-
mai county. creating Bonner county, was
slaughtered. Senator Day supported the
bill and Senator Miller opposed it, The
vote was in committee of the whole, and
the motion to recommend that il be indeti-
nitely postponed was carried without di-
vision. Not more than half dozen sen

Senator Goldins resolution for con-
stitutional amendment eliminating all
reference to polygamy came up 1t was
opposed by Senator Cunningham and sup
