FOSS DID NOT LIKE IT.
IT'S a d-n shame. Why we might az
well have a Eastwood man for speaker"
This was the way Mr. Foss (Rep), of
Grant, expressed his feelings and his
opinion of Speaker Dare when the house
adjourned yesterday afternoon. The
difference between the member from
Grant county and Speaker Dare arose
from the speaker adopting the same tao
tics which gained Gar Reed, of the ma
tional house of representatives such a
reputation.

started in to move a reconsideration of
the vote by which H. F. 347 was lost on
Thursday, when Mr.. Foss cut in with a
motion that the house adjourn The
speaker paid no attention to Mr. Foss,
and he became unduly excited, and in
roaring tones continued to shout: "Mr
Speaker, l move the house adjourn
Between the shouts the speaker put the
motion for the reconsideration of the bill,
which was carried without a dissenting
voice.
Mr.. Foss, who, in the meantime, had re-
mained on his feet, returned to the as
sault and shouted: will you recognize
me now, Mr.. Speaker"

Dunn, has the floor said Speaker Dare,
as he nodded his head toward the mem
Der from Ramsey. After Mr.. Dunn had
asked unanimous consent, to introduce q
committee report out of order, and while
the page was hurrying to the desk with
the same, Mr.. Foss managed to catch the
eye of the speaker

speaker in a very mild and surprised tone
Of voice.
II want to say" said Mr. Foss, that
this is peculiar proceedings. I supposed
every member of this house was entitled
to recognition by the chair
What Mr.. Foss would have said further
along this line was shut off by the atten-
ton of the speaker being called to the
fact that there was no business before
the house, and Mr.. Foss sank back in his
chair. He recovered, however sufficient
ly to move that H. F. 347 be laid on the
table, but was Informed by the speaker
that this action had already been taken
