cactus commission to visit st. Paul
Feb. IA, to confer with commissioners
from other states, as requested by Gov.

has been reported in the senate, but

Mrs Devoe has arrived in the interest
of the wOman's suffrage bill, represent
ing the Grand Forks Woman's
Suffrage association. In 1892 the
state school land board pur
chased 5000 bonds of school dis
trict so, Barnes county, paying therefor

poses to repudiate the bonds on the
ground that The issue is beyond the con-
stitutional debt limit.
The senate spent the day reading the
code of civil procedure and the house
the civil code, little other business be-
ing done. Twitchell met defeat in his
valued policy bill. His talk on the bill
consisted chiefly of assaults on newspa-
pers which have criticised the bill,
styling their objections as malicious
reflections on him. and in insinuations
that the printed bills had been made
way with, the journal tempered with,
and that insurance companies had
gotten everything but him. The vote
stood "a to sc. Simpson said he voted
aye according to agreement. Edwards
also voted aye, but inquired later if it
would be in order TO withdraw his vote
when Twitchell voted against his census
bill because the state don't need a
census any more than a dog needs two
tails, even if The constitution does re-
Quire one TO be taken in '95."
