WEDNESDAY,.

In the Senate, the Agricultural Col
lege appropriation bill was passed
Several local bills which had beer
passed by the House were read thu
third time and passed. The Riggs
Smart judicial contest case was post
poned until Friday afternoon. Two
local House bills providing for the
issue of bonds in Gray county were
defeated, The enscting clause Of
House bill 45S, relating to partially
depopulated school districts, was
stricken out This kills the bill. The
"yellow.hammer BILL" which was dis
Cussed amid considerable amusement
and at length in the House, was called
up and passed. This is a game law
and got It's name because of the fact
that the House had some trouble de-
Gliding whether yellow-hsmmers should
be included among the birds which il
makes unlawful to kill.
The Senate then took up the State
printing appropriation bill. An amend
ment providing that @ much smsllel
rate should be allowed for machine
than for hand work in composition
and folding was adopted. The bill
then passed. This bill carries an sp
preparation of $4,000. The HouaC
originally made it $lSO. 900, while the
Senate increased 1t to $l50,000. A
conference committee reported as
above. This is foolishness. No mem
ber who knows anything about the
matter believes that 1t Is possible to dc
the printing for two years for $4,000
There has not been a case In years
where q deficiency appropriation was
not necessary at the end of the second
year. The necessary amount should
be appropriated in the first place.
The Senate resclnded It's action ir
cOncurring in the House amendments
to the school book bill, and a confer
ence committee consisting Of TituE
and Jumper on the part of the Senate
was appointed. The bill to prevent
blacklisting was passed, the vote being
% to Z. The nay votes were all given
by Republicans. The House bill max
ing q uniform reduction of 25 per cent
in the fees of the State Printer was
taken up. The bill was amended &C
that the cut was 10 per cent. This, by
the way, reduces the fees to a figure
which leaves the Printer with no more
than q reasonable salary. 1t then
passed by a vote of 20 to 5. The House
bill to protect prairie from incursion
by FIRE was passed. Several local bills
were then passed.
AT the evening session the Senate
passed quite a number Of local bills
which had been messsged over from
the House. 1t then adjourned.
In the House, the Senate joint reso-
luton providing for the submission to
the people of an initiative snd refer

amendments were offered. One,
which prevailed, struck out ell refer

other struck out reference to the
Board Of Health; another left the Fish
