year-old daughter of William Williams, is
dead from the effects of eating frozen or
anges.

The Bill Thief.

The reciprocal insurance tax bill was
stolen by some one; this seems certain.
Docket clerks of both houses of the Kansas
legislature fail to trace it or locate it. The
house committee on insurance, to whom it
was last referred, has not had it; no men,
Der of the committee having seen the orig
inal bill.
1t was senate bill and the senate rushed
through duplicate and sent it to the house,
where it was pass ad; thus foiling the thief.
Senator Brown believes the bill was stolen
by the same party who stole his valued pol
icy bill two years ago.
