DIR. MARY WALKER ELECTED.
The Famous Little Woman Gets Into
TrnuhIe nf the CanitOI.

Trouble at the Capitol.
DR. Mary Walker was elected from the
ladies' gallery of the Senate yesterday
afternoon.
DR.. Mary, who has strong anti-annexa-
ton proclivlties. has, from the beginning
of the debate lent to the ants the infiu-
ence of her enthusiastic presence, sitting
with unabated interest throughout the
long, hot days of the one-sided debate
Yesterday her exuberance under the
spell of Senator Roach's oratory, could
be controlled no longer and, doubtless i'm
agining for the moment that she was
Witnessing the final heat in a race be-
tween Unclo- Sam and ex-Queen Lii"
in which the former was the loser, she
sprang up and wildly waved her large
mans handkerchief above her head.
This at once shocked the dignity OF the
few senators who were in their seats, and
the sergeant-at-arms quickly dispatched
a page to inform the doorkeeper of the
ladies' gallery that the applause must
cease.
The doorkeeper requested the doctor to
be calm.
81 have a right 10 wave my handker-
chief if ! want to- she replied.
She was requested 10 leave the gallery
which she fatty refused 10 do. She was
then escorted out. with her colors wav-
ing as nigh as sae could reach above her
head-and turned over TO Detective Sim
mott, who saw her safely out of the build
ing and warned her that she would be ar
rested il she returned.
This is not the first time DR.. Walker
has been the source of annoyance TO the
gallery guardians.
Last Friday she was sitting in the front
row OF the same gallery when a Pennsyl-
yania agriculturist and his wife came
in and took seats next to her. After sit
ting there a few minutes the gentleman
went otyt to cali on the Pennsylvania
delegation, leaving his wife in the gallery.
DR.. Mary Immediately struck up a con-
versaiion with the lady and pointed out
the different senator's, discoursing on
their characteristics and regulations in q
very frank manner The doctor hOweV-
er, had failed 10 inform her new ac-
quaintance of her own identity. The Ia
dy from the Key Stone State very soon
became highly indignant at the language
of her informant, who. of course she
supposed was a man. The doctor then
capped the cllmaH by giving her reasons
why ladies still continued to wear dresses.
The Pennsylvania lady retired hastily to
the corridors in tears and informed the
doorkeeper that that man had insulted
her.
Her husband came up at this moment
and, on being informed by his wife what
had been said, he was preparing to clean
out the whole gallery. The doorkeeper in
the meantime, had been industriously
trying 10 have the excited lady point our
the guilty man. When ar last she point
ed him" out and the doorkeeper ex-
planned that il was not man at all. but
Or. Mary Walker, the husband of the
distracted lady saw the joke and led his
hyster1cal wife away with a peculiar
smile on his face

CROP REPORTS.
BOuntiful Harvest In Prospect in
Several Sections.

Madison. :. Dive are in the thick
of harvest here at this writing. The
farmers are so anxious to see their fine
crops safe from possible hail storms
that they are cutting many pieces OF
wheat comparatively green. Those
who have enough horses to make shifts
are working their binders and headers
long into the night. One week more OF
the present favorable weather will see
every wheat field in the county in the
shock. All agree that the present har-
vest will be superseded only by the
great one in 1891. The wheat average
in this county will be between sixteen
and twnty bushels per acre.
Oats and barley are unusually heavy.
Potatoes are a good crop, and corn will
be, barring early frOsts.
