gument In favor of the proposed change,
he said. was suggested by the liability
under the present Inethod that states
might continue for long time unrepre-
sented and In this connection he called
attention to the fact that during the
Fifty-third congress Montana, Washing
ton and Wyoming were deprived Of
equal representation, the persons sent
here with certificates as senators be-
ing regarded as lacking in title. The
movement in favor of senatorial elec-
tons by the people was, Mr.. Perkins
said, growing stronger every year. AL
ready at the ballot box or through
their legislatures, the voters of nine
states had declared in favor of the
change and 1t was bound ultimately to
be made. Its establishment by an
amendment to the constitution would
tend to restore confidence between the
people and those chosen by them to
make the laws Of the country, without
which confidence in free government
could not long endure.
Mr.. Mitchell argued that the reform
would do away with the pool room
debaucher Of primaries. eliminate the
influence Of local bosses, minimize the
influence of wealth, create closer re-
lation between the people and the SEN
ate, and overcome the element of mon
archy and aristocracy in the present
system. The measure was supported by
Mr.. Perkins, Republican of California.
Mr.. Chandler declared the election Of
senators by the people to be concession
to populist tendencies.
Mr.. Palmer in responding to a sug-
gestdon of Mr.. Chandler that he
(Palmer) might not be returned to the
senate, retorted that new issues had
arisen since his former election on pop
ular canvass.
"On these issues have the misfortune
to differ with the machine of my state"
declared Mr. Palmer. 'The machine
has control of Illinois. The machine has
control Of other states; the machine is
against me, but I defy the machine.
Whether the machine Is stronger than
the people remains to be seem"
Mr.. Palmer went on to show that a
most salutary result from the popular
election of senators would be freedom
from machine control.
Mr. Hawley Republican of Connecti-
cut, opposed the change, after which.
at the request Of Mr.. Mitchell, the Sec
ond Monday of December next was fixed
for considering the subject. The feel
ing of an early adjournment was indi-
Gated by the introduction Of a resolu-
tion by Mr.. Aldrich fixing Monday next
at p. M as the time for adjournment.
Mr. George, Democrat of Mississippi,
interposed q protest against adjourn
ment until the bankruptcy bill had been
acted upon. The resolution was refer
red to the committee on appropriations.
The bill was passed validating several
issues Of New Mexico bonds.

examination of Farmer Osborn, the man
from Oregon who came all the way from
Portland to tell what he knew about
Miss Lillian Ashley, occupied the whole
session of Judge Slaclk's court in the

material was brought out by the exam

gone driving in Boston. They had an eX-
citing time visiting the cemeteries, and
the way home.

rehearsals.

upon the previous day in which she had
referred to her abu,k b of his love and
made pleas for forgiveness, Osborn could
not recollect that he had ever told her
either in words or writing that he loved
her. He admitted that he had bought
her some rings, but could not remember

The POISON Finder.

Tho poor man lay groaning in bed with
the blankets pulled closely round him. 1t
seemed hours since he had gone there in
the vain attempt to get to sleep after he
had tired himself out walking up and
down the floor.
He had the toothache.
At last he could stand 1t no longer
With mighty resolve he jumped out OF
bed and stumbled his way into the kitchen
Standing on a chair he CROPPED about the
top shelf of the cupboard in search of the
bottle. He searched in vain. Although
he knew 1t was there he couldn't put his
hands on it. 1t seemed to him that he
had handled every blessed bottle at least a
score OF times. In the midst Of his swear
ing brilliant idea struck him. He re-
membered that laudanum was a poison.
Hurrying back to the bedroom he went to
the crib and dragged forth the baby.
Once more ne stood on the chair. This
time he had che baby in his arms. He
held the little thing up until her tiny little
fingers touched the row Of bottles. The
sorrowing man watched the little hand
travel lightly over the walls and then
suddenly clutch at one. AS he took it
away from the baby smile Of satisfaction
lit up his face. The label on the bottle
