ing the reading Of the bill the first
and second times, and permitting the
readings to be by title only, the dei
csion says:
"This provision Of the Constitution ID
to be suspended only IL cases of urgency.
and only with reference To bill which
is then pending before the house for con-
sdcralion nj the time OF suspension. IL
canhol be suspended generally. 1t has
been the practice of The Legislature either
to suspend by unanin,e..s consent or by
an omnibus resolution, but the court
shows the suspension must be by aye and
nay vote shown ON the journal"
1t is at once seen that as the de-
cision attacks the manner in whfch
the law was passed by the Legislature,
that it will apply to any and all laws
passed by this and etery proceeding

1t goes long way towards wiping

SHELTER AND RAILROAD.
A Word About Enterprises Which, on
Account of too Much Advance Wind,
People Have Become to Look
Upon as DefInct.

The smelter for the Peacock mine
is IL matter which a great many have
he come To think would he little

been the result of the running away
of the talking gear of persons whose
apparently sole assets consisted of
self claimed connection with the ell
their living ut That business. These
have proclaimed the shipment at div
ers dates of smelters which never
came, the departure for Weiser of
people who never got here, and alto
9ether Il rather windy knowledge that
was divine of inside facts that al
ways lizzled, until people have got
sick of hearing of it. There are some
encouraging points, however, which
do ANYTHING but call for The all ndon
mcnt Of hope. The people have
never lost confidence in Messrs AK,

ing is Il guarantee of good faith in

been that agents" of theirs, that is
people who come with verbal docu.

p"werS, have made such farce of
things as to create It very general
doubt of Mcssrs Aiken, Blake and
others having any active interest in
The projects, or that their personal
direction would ever be felt or them
selves seen here.
We have faith IN the channel hv
which we are informed that Alfred
Euff has II letter from james &. Ak

the smrller was actually shipped ON

leave as soon MS possible for Idaho

School Books.

The Legislature this winter will take
hold Of the school book question and
endeavor to pass a law to bring relief
to q very large body of citizens, viz;
those who must buy school books.
There 10 at the present time no trust
or combine that 10 bearing down on
the people of the State harder than Is
the school book combine. The pupils
are forced to buy school books, and by
the act Of the combine are forced to
pay exorbitant prices. We have it
from a school book publisher right
here at home that the price exacted
by the big Eastern publishers are fully
one-third too high. It Is known that
the amount of money sent out of the
State each year for school books
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars, probably half q million.
With the prices one third higher than
they ought to be, 1t is easy to see to
what an enormous extent the robbery
Is carried on. AS a rule the burthen
falls on those who can least afford to
stand IL, viz; the poor people with
large families.
Several plans have been suggested,
and among others the plan Of State
Superintendent William Stryker,
who advocates district ownership.
Under 1t school books cost less and
last longer. Children are early taught
to take care of their books. 1t is true
that under district ownership the large
property-holder would have to assist
In the education of the children of his
poorer neighbor, but the sum would
be SO light that he would scarce feel it.
The cost would not be over 81 for each
pupil in the district, which would be q
very light amount to raise by taxation.
The principal thing to be avoided is
the matter of having adoptions made
by small boards The larger the board
Of adoption the less liability there ia of
a majority being influenced by un-
scrupuIeus publishers represented by
unscrupulous agents. 1t might be
some protection to have concerns like

prohibited from doing business in the

prize going to Lincoln county. The
resolutions recommend the establish

cost of printing the ballots should be
reduced, by reducing the number of
ballots printed and making q uniform
charge for printing and publication.
Changes are wanted in the penalties
for frsudulently obtaining or voting
official ballots, and it is suggested that
all injunCtlons and msndsmus pro-
ceedings relating to names on the
ticket should be filed within a definite
time to give the Clerks more time to

has been discussed in the Swedish
newspapers.
In preparing her case Miss White has
accumulated an immense amount of
documentary evidence. She claims to
be the lineal descendant of the great
ard popular king of Sweden, Gustasus
Adolphus. 1t is a matter of history that
the present king of Sweden, Oscar H.,
cannot claim this distinction.
The various papers and documents
which Miss White has collected and
which she says will be put in evidence
4. the proper time, establish her rela-
tionship, it is claimed, to the older rulers
of the country. The last of this Amer
lean woman's ancestors to occupy the
throne of Sweden was King Gustavus
w., who ruled from 1892 to 1900.
Unless Miss White DISCUSSES herself
as Joan Of Arc and successfully downs
the whole of Sweden before her sword
there is not much likelihood of her ever
getting near the throne AS a matter
OF fact, a woman cannot reign over
Sweden's people, the latter having so de-
cided more than a century ago. After
the disastrous efforts of the reigns of
Queen Christina and Erica Eleanora in
the eighteenth century, Sweden came
to the conclusion that only male per-
sons shall rule the country and its peo-
PIE. and only a revolution could change
this rule of eligibility to the throne

Soon after seven o'clock in the even
ing a general motion is noticed in the
foliage, a culver or trembling Of the
bipinnate leaves. Each leafet begins
to stand up on edge and pairs with
the one opposite. They clasp each
other tightly and they close up with the
other on the petiole, so that each be-
comes a coveriet over half Of the pre-
cedlng one. The entire TRANSFORMED
ton takes place in about 20 minutes,
and usually at about 7:3O the respira-
tory organism Of this tree hangs limp
or droopy on the branches. It was
at first supposed that the approach OF
darkness or the humidity Of the at
mOsphere, or even the change Of tenn
perature, had something to do in pro-
ducing Il sleepy-like condition in this
tree, but numerous experiments have
proved that it is not so. Little branches
have been taken Off and kept in a dark
room at an early hour. The leaves re-
manned expanded until thehour ofseven.

tific teachers of botany. He has shown
that nature is not at fault that we do

find on close investigation that there
