1t is the general opinion of both the
nd xr-iI1
become a law. The opposite ends of the
legislature vii. probably quit splitting al
each other long enough to enact the bill
If they have to. 1t seems TO have 10 OPP
position on the Populist side and quite a
good deal of support among the Republ-
cans. Jaquins Of Cowley, Ravenscroft
of Clark and Russell of Miami are spe-
cial champions Of the bill, and there
seems 10 be no one especially opposed to
it.
NORMAL SCHOOL BILLS
Nothing was done in the house this
morning more than TO spat back and
forth over a motion by Rothweiler of
Rush 10 put the Wichita and Lacrosse
normal school bills on the calendar for
discussion by the whole house. After
an hour had dragged by, Weilep of
Cherokee moved to table the motion and
a roll call was demanded. Every man
both pro and con. had TO explain his
vote at length and the motion to table
was lost by the vote of 60 to Al. Roth
weller then attempted to withdraw his
motion but Weilep suggested that it go
over and Street ended the matter by
saying, ''Over il goes
THE BROWNS OF THE HOUSE.
The Browns are in the push in this
legislature, Brown of Cowley and Brown
of Pratt, are both influential members.
Their lines are in different directions.
Brown of Pratt is making a speciality of
railway legislation; while his namesake
of Cowley is active in general legisla-
ton. Brown of Cowley was elected as
silver Republican. He sits in the rear
of the hall with his colleague, Colonel
Jaquins of Cowley county. Brown of
Cowley is a good speaker, a cordial,
agreeable man, energetic, and active,
very watchful of all matters relating 10
his district and section of Kansas. He
Is influential with his colleague, and
most useful member of the house.
NOBODY TO BLAME MUCH.
The investigating committee on the
Cowley and Kingman county bond deals
has practically completed its work and
IS at present under the impression that
nothing was the matter except that the
county commissioners in these two conn
ties were outclassed and couldn't very
we'll help doing what the did
MANY IN THE SAME FIX.
The senate committee sent to An
thony and kiowa has submitted a re-
port that the bonded Indebtedness of
Cimarron is s56000 and the assessed val
uation of all property in the city is en-
~ 300 The total indebtedness OF
Anthony is sl6S. 600 and its assessed VAL
uation only Sill 900. In all probability
the legislature will recommend that
these towns will be allowed to compro-
mise their debts and if they should do
so at any great discount there will be
dozen other towns asking the same priv
iiege. There are many towns in western
Kansas in TIE same fix
NO PAY AFTER TUESDAY.
Next Tuesday is the last day OF the
session for which members will receive
pay and nearly dozen OF the Populists
have expressed their determination 10
go home at that time. Speaker Street.
Brown of Pratt. Barkley of Elk and 9th
ers say the session Will be extended 10
March - and think there will be no
trouble in maintaining quorum that
long. Some of the leaders have said
that members could be unseated for re-
fusiag 10 stay but no such action is
likely 10 be taken nor will majority
stay any great length Of time when the
pay stops.
