committees report was against it. Sen.

save the bill by having it given 9 place
on general orders and referred to him
for amendment. Senator Wyman
wanted the bill killed once for all. The
committee had given the measure all
due consideration and were unani.
mously opposed to the bill. The report
Of the committee was adopted with
few dissenting votes.
The Pottgieser bill to reduce the sal.

the fact that three Of the four Nom.
beers from that county opposed it. The

The bill to divide equally among fair
associations the $4,000 annually ap.
propriated for that purpose was passed.
The measure is a direct blow at the
