beamed with satisfaction, the measure
having been in the governors
hands but short time. The
measure provides that female en-

NORMAL SCHOOL BILL.
The bill providing for the establish
ment OF a branch of the state normal
school at Beaver came I'D on roll-call,
and would have passed but for the ac-
ton OF Mr.. Wright, who moved TO in
sert Sewer county in the bill instead
of Beaver. This provoked a discus
sion, Mr.. Snow declaring in his few
remarks that such action on the part
of Mr.. Wright was. to say the least,
in bad taste, as it was an endeavor TO
kill the bill. He could see no neces-
sity for further delay.
Mr.. Wright retorted that Sewer
wanted the school: that Mr.. Seeg-
miller was in the city with a view of
submitting facts in relation 10 the
matter.
Alfred said the bill should become a
law. There was no contest in SanDete
about this school, although Sanpete
would like to have it. But Beaver was
peculiarly situated and being SO sit
uated, should have the school. Unlike
Richfield, which has railroad connec-
tions, Beaver and the country south
have none.
Mr. Evans suggested that the bill be
recommitted to the committee on edu-
cation, but Snow opposed it, saying
there was no use in further delay.
Mr.. Hamer argued in favor of the
passage of the bill, declaring southern
Utah was entitled to the school and
should have it.
Finally Snow withdrew his objections
to further delay, and the bill went over
until today.
FOR BEFOULING WATERS.
Johnson's bill making it INSIDE
meanor for one to befoul the waters
of any stream, spring or well used for
domestic purposes, came up on maj
passage and was the theme of speech
by the author, who said The sheep men
befoul the waters in his neighborhood
until they were not fit to use. They
were purely cussed and had gall
enough" to do anything, and it was
high time theY were checked
Finally the bill was ordered recon-
mitted TO the committee on public
health.
ELECTION JUDGES PAY.
Inc SENATE yesterday ucCiUCu eAloS ~
pay the election judges for the past
year was something which should not
be done. 1t will be remembered that a
few days ago the house passed a bill,
by Mr.. Kenner, for this purpose, and
that when the same came down to the
senate that BODY also approved the
same, despite the protests of Evans,
Whitaker and others, who declared that
it was all wrong; that the Judges
should not be paid, as they had ac-
cepted the places knowing they were
to receive no CONDENSATION, and 1t
would be wrong to give them the
money at this time.
Mr. Nebeker at the time gave notice
of a reconsideration, and this has been
hanging fire for several days until yes
terday, when the matter was taken
from the table and reconsidered and
again placed on its passage, and this
time killed There was but one mem
Der of the senate who argued that the
bill should not be killed, and that was
Hamer of Weber, who declared that
although the legislature at its last
session had decided to not pay the
judges, and that such action was
mistake, this legislature should right
the wrong and pay them now. This
argument was in answer to that of
Mr. Evans and Mr.. Smoot. The latter
declared the Democrats did not desire
to correct the wrongs of the Republic
ans in this particular, while Mr.. Evans
was so opposed to the passage of the
bill as to declare that it was his be-
lief that it was unconstitutional.
The bill was killed by vote of
ayes and 10 noes, absent. Mr.. Game
and Mr. Robson were the absentees
yesterday.
