SESSION OF SENATE.
Opening Scenes In the Upper House
of COnEresa.

Washington, Dec. Sin the opening
hours of the last session of the mem.
orable Fifty-ffth congress the senate
chamber presented an animated scene.
The galleries were filled early, many
of the spectators being visitors to
Washington who had embraced the op-
portunity to witness congressional
opening. On the senate floor the scene
presented was unusually brilliant. The
desks of the members were loaded with
magnificent specimens of the florists
art. Nothing more beautiful or elab-
crate in floral displays has been seen
in the senate for many years. 1t was
a veritable chrysanthemum show, with
rare roses and cut flowers of every de-
scription mingled with the chrysanthe-
NUNS. and all formed into novel and
elaborate designs.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, was the
first senator to enter the chamber, and
closely following. him came the, octo-
genarian, Senator Morrill,, Of Vermont.
One by one tie, ME bers dropped into
the chamber and the floor soon pre-
sented scene as animated as that af-
fnrded by the galleries.

Rir Elour Trust.

New York, Dec 5.-A gigantic flour
trust has been formed to control nearly
all of the product in this country and
also the supply of three-fourths of the
world. English stockholders in the
big Pillsbury- -Washburn Milling COM
pany were reluctant at first to join, but
We're finally won over, and the flour
trust became certainty. The trust
will have approximately the enormous
capital of $3.50 100000. 1t will embrace
all the principal mills of this country,
and Will have daily capacity of 95,a0o
barrels OF flour, consuming in this man
ner about 100000 Bushels of wheat.

A CORRECTION.

In our last Issue we stated that
Colonel Economy Wright had not had
an office room for number of years.
The REVIEW was mistaken, he enjoyed
an office room at the expense of Uncle
Sam when he vast postmaster, and
again when he was mayor he was the
only one to demand that the CITY furnish
him an Office room. Intact the Colonel
saved more money. for himself, while
mayor of Denison, than any other
mayor the city has ever had.

SESSION OF HOUSE.
The Representatives Reassemble
Speaker Reeds Gnvel Falls.

Washington Dec. S. - Exactly at
room Speaker Reeds gavel came down
with sharp crack, the great ebony
mace, entwined with silver and sur
mounted by silver eagle, was lifted
into place upon its green marble pedes-
tai, the spreading folds of American
flags were broken to the breeze about
the brilliant stained glass ceiling, and
the house of representatives entered
upon the closing session of the mem
orable war congress. The scene within
the great hall was animated, brilliant
and picturesque.
The sea of desks within the brass
fnils which cut off the lobbies, spread
ing in semi-circular lines from the
speakers rostrum like waves from a
center, were veritable flower garden.
A majority of members were IN their
places, while the encircling gall
leries were banked to the doors with
people. The assembling of a session of
congress is always great magnet for
the multitude, but Monday the attrac-
tion was fraught with the added inter-
est of all the memories which clung
sbout the war congress, the triumphs
and reverses of the recent political bat
tie at the polls and the eagerness to
lear the presidents message with its
review of the events which have crowd
I'd the stage during this memorable
year and its recommendations of poll
c.es for the future. The public seemed
10 feel that this was to be an epoch
making session, and for hours before
noon steady stream of people de-
bouched from the corridors into the
galleries.
Society In Present.
Even the private galleries were crowd
ed an hour before the hour for con-
vening. And they contained many dis
tinguished in social and official life.
The dainty creations of the milliners'
art and brilliantly superb gowns gave
color to the picture.
The members began arriving shortly
before ii, and the hall soon commenced
to buzz as they exchanged greetings,
congratulations or condolences. For
those who had gone down at the No
yember elections there were expressions
of sympathy, for those who had been
victorious. words of congratulation.
Some Of the members held regular lev
les as they appeared. This was mark
cdly true of Mr.. w. A. Stone, of Penn
sylyania; Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, and Mr..

N. M. HUBBARD, JR..
Attorney G. s. N. w. Ry. Co.
December 5, 1898.
The Council Considers.
After the reading of the above let
ter the council asked a number of ques-
tions chiefly concerning the building of
sewer if necessary through the North
western yards. Being satisfied that the
Northwestern would do the right thing
as regards the sewage, several ordinan-
ces were introduced. At the sugges-
tion of Solicitor Wright, and a good
suggestion too by the way, an amend
ment was inserted making the streets to
be vacated, revert to the city if the re-
presentations made in Mr. Hubbard's
letter were uot carried out. Up to this
time the meeting had been entirely
harmonious but as the hour was grow
ing late Mr.. Iven's moved an adjourn
ment. Mr.. Hubbard urged the council
to act, and stated that as no objections
had been raised the ordinances should
be passed. He spoke of Judge Con
ner's presence and said ii lie had any
objections to raise he wished him to
state them. Judge Conner responded.
urging the council against hasty action
and stating that the Illinois Centrsl's
demands should be considered before
action was taken in favor of the North
western. Mr.. Hubbard asked him to
tell where the plans of the companies
conflicted but this the Judge refused to
do saying that he did not care to give
MIR. Hubbard the information at that
time. Quite sharp contest of words
ensued. Mr.. Simmons, living south of
the proposed depot site, objected saying
it would shut out his view of the city.
The. council finally agreed to let the
matter lie over for another week. 1t
was midnight before the council ad-
journed.

The Bulletin has good deal to saw
about its Great contemporary this
week. 1t objects to The REVIEW being
so much better that it is. 1t objects to
the REVIEW telling the truth about
Colonel Economy, and speaks of the
doughty Colonel as an elephant. ut is
right in this, the Colonel and his ccono-
mlcal ways will be an elephant Oh their
hands.) 1t also objects to certain
statement made in the REVIEW as to
the hackers OF the Bulletin. Every one
knows that a number of highly reput-
able and respectable citizens were hood
winked into taking stock in the Bulletin
plant. Many of these men openly ex-
press their regret at so doing and have
mighty little use for the paper or it's
clay pigeon editor. These men while
stockholders are not "backerso in the
sense meant by the REVIEW. BY that

THE DISTRICT COURT.
An Interesting Session VIII Be Held This
Month.

An interesting Session Will Be Held This
Month.
The session of the District Court
which convenes this month promises to
be full of interest. There are 1876 cases
on the docket. OF these eighty-seve
are Law cases, forty.two equity cases
and seven criminal. Three OF the
criminal cases are for illegal voting ina
school election in East Boyer township,
one for burglary and assault, two for
maintaining a nuisance and one for
assault and battery. There are three
applications for divorce, all being made
by the women in the case. The grounds
upon which the court is asked to sep
crate man and wife are for desertion,
forinhuman treatment and for adultery.
Three injunctions are asked, two
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Ry to restrain them from closing
cattle driveways i'll Paradise township
ane one, Conroy VS.. Fotheringham in
the matter of highways.
One damage case against the North
western is on the docket. The plaintiff
John Dugan claims that he bought a
ticket from Arion to Omaha, but that
he mistook the train, taking number
six east, instead OF the right train. He
was taken to Denison and gotoff there,
taking the Colorado Special west. He
refused to pay fare, whereupon he
alleges the conductor took his ticket
and punched it and then put him off at
Arion, refusing to allow him to board
the train again. Dngan claims thathe
was injured to the amount of 81 $50 and
costs.
DeWolf Assignment Still On.
Notice of appeal has been filed in the
case of Langford Brooke, of England,
VS.. the DeWolf estate and it will now
probably be another year before
settlement with the creditors can be
made. No notice of appeal has as yet
been filed in the Cosman and Washing
ton township church cases, but it is ex-
pected that both cases will be carried to
the Supreme court.

LEGAL ADVERTISING,

Several years ago it was the case
in this state that pine tree adver-
tislng was nearly all the 60 The
legislature undertook to remedy
the evil The members of that
body thought, and correctly too,
that where property of any kind
was required to be sold at public
sale, or where a public contract was
to be let out, in which case compe-
tition for the property or for the
contract was TO be desired, that
the widest publicity Of the time and
place Of sale should be given They
knew that this could not be done by
posting notices on pine trees or in
the court house door, and that the
best and most effective way of Civ
ing notice, a way that would reach
more people and thus prove the
most effective in securing the great
est competition, was by adyertis-
ing in the newspapers. This re-
suited in the passage Of the follow
ing law, which is now section 1889
Of the last digest:
"All advertisements and orders
Of publication required by law, or
the orders of any court, or in con-
formity of any deed of trust or
or real estate mortgage, or chat
tel mortgage where the amount
therein received exceeds the sum Of
one hundred dollars, or power of
attorney, or administrators notice to
be made, shall be published in some
newspaper published and circulate
ed in the county in which the pro-
ceedings are had, to which such
advertisement or order Of pubIlca.
tion shall pertain If there be one,
and il no newspaper is published
in such county, then in some news

lent thereto having a bona llde'
circulation therein provided the
provisions of this act shall not ap-
ply to sales under executions lssu'
ued by Justices Of the peace Act.
April 1lth 1895, amending sec, 4.
Act April 1lth 1901
This is a very comprehensive
section, and was intended doubtless
to cover the entire section Of legal
advertising Of all kinds, with the
exception named in the provision,
Just how far this has been done
will depend upon the construction
placed upon the section by the
courts, An analysis Of the section
would seem to Indicate that It
covers the subject, It Is as though
II read as follows
All advertisements and orders OF
publication required by law or the
orders of any court shall be publish
ed IN some newspaper, etc,
An advertisements required In
conformity with any deed oil trust
or real estate mortgage shall be
published In some newspaper etc,
All advertisements required In
conformity with ehattel mort
gage where the amount therein
received exceeds the sum OF one
hundred dollars, shall be published
In some newspaper, etc,
All advertisements required by
power Of attorney shall be pub-
Ished In some newspaper etc,
All administrators notices re-
Qured TO be made shallbo publish
ed Ia some newspaper etc,
If this be the correct analysis Of
the section, those having 90 adyer'
tisc any kind of a notice required
by law or mortgage or deed Of
trust, should be careful to observe
