Legislative Proceedings.

There was comparatively little bust
ness transacted by either house of the
General Assembly Thursday. This
was accounted for by the fact that most
OF the business was in the hands of the
committees, and could not be disposed
of in time. O''O
The House passed the bill offered in
that body to allow school commission
els 70 pay teachers in checks signed by
maJOrity OF the commissioners instead
oI Oy all OF them, as now required by
Tue law. This bill was sent to the SEN
ate.

allow the people of New Castle to vote

ana now the people have asked that this
Dill be presented. The new bill gives
them single tax system without a

probably kill this bill the same as II

Too Harsh Toward a Woman.

The communication published
yesterday in the LIGHT anent the
hospital nurse refusing the LIGHT
the legitimate news from that in
stitution was published not in ma
liciousness or to cause the nurse to
lose her position. The LIGHT does
not endorse such strong terms as
used by this correspondent, espe-
cially when its object is woman
striving to earn her own living and
deplores the harshness of the lam
guage used. The columns of the
newspaper are always open to COM
munications, but the management
also reserves the right to endorse
or condemn them. In this in
stance it condemns the communi-
cation referred to, as do its report
ers, who are sure they can always
secure the latest news at any and
all times.
The manager of the paper was
sick at home when the article
slipped in. Had he seen it it
would have found its way into the
big waste basket.

Lima


Line.
The report circulated that Mr.. L.

is untrue. Mr.. Micklejohn has
been general superintendent Of the
Citizens line ever since September
l, having succeeded l.. M. Gregory
in that position.
Mr.. Gregory and family have
moved to Colorado, where he is
having considerable success with a
patent of his own, where by he can
wash "tailings" from the stamp
mills that are too poor to handle
otherwise, extracting the precious
metals. He has written to friend
here that his machine works well
and that 1t Is proving a bonanza.
