ness.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, who fought the
rules In the last congress. attacked the
resolution vigorously. He insisted that
the rules should be modified He laid par
tlcular stress upon the question OF recogni-
ton. which he claimed should go to tho
first member who addressed the chair. This
has been one o. Mr.. Hepburn's causes OF
complaint In preceding congresses. He
also commended that the committee on rules
should be entirely independent OF the
speaker and that there should be general
decentralization OF power from the speak,
er In the direction OF the committees, The
speaker and the committee on rules, he
commended, had too much power under the
rules proposed TO be adopted. The power
of committees and individuals should be
expanded. He proposed an amendment to
the resolution providing that the rules
should be adopted for forty days during
which notifications could be decided upon.
The amendment met with little favor on
the ground that II would show weakness.
Mr. Cannon OF Illinois, who will again
be chairman of the committee on apprO-
priations. warmly supported Mr. Daizelfs
resolution. He argued and cited many In
stances TO show that while committees
were theoretically equal, the business OF
some committees exceeded that OF others

should have privileges others did not en-
Joy. II was also proper. he argued, that
the committee on rules had regard for
the business and rights OF all should
often designate what business should have

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

Temperature during the past week
was variable, ranging from five
above to ten degrees below the nor
NAL; but being generally dry the
conditions We're about all that could
be desired for operations in the hay
and harvest fields. In the southern
section the bulk of small grain is
in the shock and threshing is in
progress. In the north and central
districts the cutting of grain is
we'll advanced, and in extensive sec
tons is nearly completed. EARLY
reports of threshers show variable
results, but the yield of oats is gen
orally fair to good.
Rainfall of the week was very
light, except in a few scattering
localities, and many reports indi-
cate that corn, potatoes and pasture
are in need of more moisture; but
no material injury has been done,
and the condition of corn has stead
lily improved during the month of
July. Corn is a week to ten DAYS
late as compared with last year but
with seasonable temperature dur
ing September there will be ample
time to mature the crop.

Saturday evening about nine

friends of Mr.. and Mrs. T. ]. Car

beautiful home in the Heights and
took possession OF the place much
to their surprise. The choir had

and all at once, unexpectedly the
crowd filed in, filling the house. 1t
Was a merry, happy meeting and
parting of friends-meeting with
good will and lasting friendship
and parting with expressions, fond
est hopes and best wishes. The
merry crowd was soon deeply en-

ceasing lasted until interrupted by
the announcement that rich and
tasty supper would be served, all of
which the intruding guests had
prepared and brought along. This
