County Superintendent Williams,
of Grant county, who was severely

pears that he has the top hand, though
it is not certain that he will be able to
make four-ace play.

Olympia yesterday when the state SEN

hem would do no good. Senator
2inehart evidently sized the present
up with the members of the
asst session and very. properly con-
'luded they were past redemption.
Despite his protest, prayer was offered,
md the clerk of the senate was invited
o sing "Nearer My God, to Thee"

ion Army be invited within the sem
