Temple Amendment Mny Fall Through
Entirely.


Entirely.
DIES MONIES, May 1.-(Special Telegram
Tho two houses did almost nothing this
morning, still waiting for conference reports.
The reports are coming slowly. The first
conferees on the Temple amendment failed
to agree and were discharged and new ones
named. They do not expect to agree. The
same was true Of the state librarian bill. The
senate wants to take the appointment out
of the hands of the governor, and the house
insists that he shall retain 1t. The con-
ferees disagreed and new ones were ap-
pointed. 1t is expected the senate will finally
win.
The house committee on the printing and
binding investigation almost had riot this
forenoon over the question of requiring the
binder to submit his books for examination.
The binder protested and his friends refused
to make the demand. In the end the COM
mittee, after two hours OF fighting, which
camo near the point of force, voted, s to s.,
not to require the submission of the books.

or all the great improvements that have
been made in the construction of gasoline
stoves in the last quarter of century none
have attracted the wide attention of domestic
and mechanical experts that the Michigan
Stove company's new Jet Cone burner has.
1t is as great an Improvement over all prede-
coesors as the gas stove Is over the old
smoky coal oil burners. 1t is the acme Of
simplicity, the realization of safety and
economy and is superior to any gas stove.
1t has no sub-burners or generators, but
lights directly with blue, smokeless flame.
1t gives absolutely the greatest possible
amount of heat units from the fuel con-
sumed. The stove has only been on exhibit
tion at Swanes hardware store a short time
but it has attracted more attention than any
other thing on Broadway, and great mum,
Der have been sold The prices are more
