MEDICAL BILL FAILS
Populists Defeat the Bill Regulating the
Practice of Medicine.

PopuIists Defeat the Bill Regulating the
Practice of Medicine.
It seems strange that politics should
enter into such a bill as the one by Mr..
Benefiel to regulate the practice of medi-
cine, but such was the case in the senate
at least. There the Populists voted sol
idly against it.
The bill provides that no person shall
practice medicine in this state unless
such person is of good moral character
and is graduate of a legally chartered
medical institution of good repute, or has
been practicing medicine as means of
livelihood continuously in this state prior
to the taking effect of the act.
In the house the opposition came prin-
cipally from the Populists and MIR. Rohr-
baugh, though the latter gentleman
finally voted for it.
In the house Mr.. Winters Pop. Kiowal
said: ave western people can't support
your plug hat doctors We've got lot
of old women who are better than any of
them" The bill passed the house and
when it went to the senate its friends
tried to get it advanced. This required
unanimous consent. Senator Cook OBJ
jecred It was tried again, and again he
objected. Then one of the supporters of
the bill from the house was secured to
come over and call Senator Cook out to
talk with him. While he was gone the bill

SOME BILLS PASSED.
Last Ones to Get Through the Senate Sat-
urday Evening.

Last Ones to Get Through the Senate Sat-
urday Evening.
The senate was in session until mid
night Saturday night, and if the senators
had shown the same capacity for busi-
ness early in the session they did Satur-
day, fees might have been regulated,
Kansas City reformed, women allowed
to vote, freight and passenger rates re-
duced, western Kansas irrigated, and all
other measures working together for
good, passed weeks ago.
Probably the most important bill pass
ed Saturday night was the Rohrbaugh
house bill providing for the election of
city clerks and city attorneys in cities of
the first class. At present they are ap-
pointive. Senator O'Bryan rushed the
bill through Time was short and it was
not considered very fully. Senators
Sterne and Taylor were rather skeptical
regarding the virtue of the bill, but it
passed.
The house medical bill by Mr.. Benenel
NO 225) was defeated Saturday night
Senator Cooke had it striken from the
calendar The bill was one 'Sto regulate
the practice of medicine in the state of
Kansas and to regulate the sale of drugs,
nostrums and medical preparations by
itinerant vendors"
One of the best bills to pass Saturday
was Senator Badwin's, compelling for
eign building and loan associations to
deposit 5000 worth of securities before
doing business in the state. The bill is
one to foster home associations. These
institutions are also put under the dlrec-
ton of the superintendent of insurance.
The bill to prevent book making and
pool-selling has passed both branches,
but is so Amended that pool-selling
may be practiced two weeks in the year,
at fairs and races. This measure went to
a conference committee and its final
passage was by no means unanimous on
the part of the senate
The appropriation of $4,000 for the
soldiers home was rushed through late
Saturday, as were the appropriations for
the Winfield and Osawatomie asylums.

"Would you have any enrolling

@That would depend altogether on

BILLS THAT DIDN'T PASS.
Measures Which Got Lost in the Shuttle or
Were Talked to Death.

The bills the house didn't pass would
which were of too trif1ing importance for
the house to take up, were the assess
ment and taxation bill by Mr. Ballinger,
the Gardenhire pass bill, the Shearer
bill regulating the charges atthe Kansas
City stockyards, all of which, except the
Ballinger bill, had passed the senate and
were on third reading in the house.
No railroad legislation of any kind got
through either branch. All that was
proposed was simply talked to death. An
attempt was made late Saturday night in
the house to take up the bill granting
the eleven women named therein the
right to vote, but it was unsuccessful
and these women will have to be con-
tented with the fun they had talking TO
the members while trying to get it
through.

tenant Governor Troutman in his place.
Senator King appeared on the floor of
the senate Saturday night with a big

his friends that he had become a re-
deemer, and within an hour after his
change of heart was given a position

THE LAST OF LAW MAKING.
The Business of Passing Bills Wound d
Saturday Night.

The Business of Passing Bills Wound Up
Saturday Night.
Saturday afternoon and evening were
spent by the house in rushing through
bills on third reading. After the senate
adjourned at II o'clock Saturday night it
was useless to consider house bills fur
Their and only senate bills were held to
time set to quit all passing of bills, but
the clock was set back and it was an
hour or more after that before Speaker
Pro lem Cubbison raped with his
gavel and declared the house adjourned
when Mr.. Cox's N 1tion was carried
During the evening the members were
In a playful mood and it was very diff
cult to keep any kind of order The
restaurant pop corn man couldn't keep
up a supply to satisfy the demand and the
reports of the paper bags which the mem
bers blew up and burst when they had
finished eating sounded like the dog
after the Fourth of July when the left
over tirecrackers are being set off Some
threw paper balls and other festive leg
islators thought it the jolliest thing i'm
aginable to ram waste baskets down
over the heads of other members.
During the evening numerous resolu-
tions were introduced, some humorous,
some sober. Among the genuine ones
was one recommending Chas. s. Martin,
the reading clerk, for the position of
reading clerk in the house of represent
atives of the oath congress, for which po-
sition he will be candidate, and re-
questing the Kansas representatives to
work for his election.
Mr.. Cannon offered the following res
olution:
"Resolved, That to the members of
the press who during the session of this
house have SO considerably and effectu-
ally suppressed the truth, be granted the
choice of any furniture in this hall they
may desire. and that particularly to
Frank FARRELL there be given the couch
in the speakers room"
Another resolution having reference to
the distinguished services of the obstrep-
erous Mr.. Cannon read:
Whereas, The dome of the state house
will now be of no further use to the citi-
zens of Shawnee county, therefore be it
Resolved, That it be rendered to Mr..
Cannon to take home with him as q
memento if this session, a reward for his
valuable assistance to the speaker of this
house.
Besides the fun the house passed the
following senate bills which will become
laws if the governor signs them:
An act creating the office of state &C
countant, prescribing his duties and COM
pensation.
An act to provide for engrossing and
enrolling bills and resolutions for the
legislature by means of printing.
An act making an appropriation to pay
the bounty for certain sugar manufac-
tured in the state of Kansas for the years
| 1898 and 1894
An act for the protection of prairie
from incursions by fire, and for the con-
| struction of reservoirs.
An act to exempt from legal process
to benefciaries the proceeds of life insu-
rance policies.
Besides these, there was large num-
Der of senate local bills affecting only

He Entertain State House Visitors and
Legislators Yesterday Afternoon.
Mr.. Eckstein yesterday afternoon en-
tertained large number of representa-
tives and others who happened to be at
the state house, by reciting passages
from Shakespeare and some other selec-
tions. Some of the members who knew
Mr.. Eckstein's ability in this direction
felt that while there was nothing to do
and the storm made outdoor amusement
impossible, this would be on opportune
time to hear him and they requested
him to declaim.
He complied and the half of represen-
tative hall was filed with people who
listened with pleasure while Mr.. Eek
stein either recited or read passages of
Shakespeare plays. The speech of Pol
onis to his sou and Othello's speech
ending, ssShe loved me for the dangers l
had passed and loved her because she
pitied them," were among the selections.
Some of the statesmen would not be
satisfied until he had given the quarrel
of Brutus and Cassius and getting an
other man to go through it with him
Mr.. Eckstein gave it.
Judge Sutton was asked to take the
part of Cassius but he recognized that
he was not lean enough to make good
one and he declined.
Mr.. Eckstein was once on the stage
and still takes great delight in amateur
theatricals at his home in Wichita
