100000 to complete the monument, was
called up for passage. Mr.. Eichhorn opposed
the bill and urged that the living be cared
for. Mr.. Noel favored the bill and ~prefaced
his remarks by a reference to the misunder-
standing with Mr.. Shideler. He said he had
not threatened to defeat the appropriation
bill. but only referred to some matters per-
sonal between Mr.. Shideler and himself. 1t
was only a portion of the hill he had re-
ferred to and he said he was not SO silly

COLUMBUS BILL PASSED.
Mr.. Roberts at once sent up a resolution
to stop speeches in explanation of votes.
Speaker Littleton put the question and de-
clared that the ayes had it. Mr.. Caraway
jumped to his feet and demanded a division,
but the speaker refused to put the demand,
on the ground that the vote had been an
nounced. Mr.. Caraway began to protest,
when the speaker cut him off by saying:
IF some people cannot see the fitness of
things we will make them see it."
Senator Lambert's bill to establish a state
hospital, as amended for epileptics, at Co
lumbus, was next called up on passage:
the institution was first changed he thought
it was a scheme to kill the measure, but
now he was satisfied with the change and
he would accept it. Mr.. Eichhorn made a
strong plea against the bill and Mr.. Cara
way followed for it. He charged that the
insincerity of the amendment adopted,
which had been presented by Mr.. Eichhorn,
was demonstrated when that gentleman got
up TO oppose the bill. Mr.. Akin and Mr..
Shideler, both rose to speak at the same
time and Mr.. Shideler was recognized. Mr..
Akin began to speak, and Mr.. Shideler
turned around In some surprise. Speaker
Littleton said that the gentleman from
Grant had the floor" but Mr.. Akin evident
ly did not understand and said: Il insist
on saying a few words Mr.. Shideler
laughed and sat down and was recognized
after Mr.. Akin had defended the bill. Mr..
Shideler said he was opposed to the bill,
not because he did not believe, that the
unfortunates Of the State should not be
cared for, but because they could be prop
erly cared for with less money than the bill
called for and because the bill specified the
bility Of getting a larger, more satisfactory
place or d better bonus than offered by
Columbus. Mr.. Artman was against the
specific location of the institution at Column
bus, and made a few sarcastic remarks
about the State of Columbus" Mr.. Blank
enship said that he will never vote for any
measure brought into the House now which
provides for the punishment of any one
who buys or sells a vote, after having seen
the trades of votes and the combinations
that had been formed to secure the passage
Of this bill. He charged that it was a
scheme to sell some land, and a Republican
scheme at that, and he pronounced 1t dis
graceful. Mr.. Akin moved the previous
question and the bill passed by 81 ayes to Al
noes, as follows:
