Representative Crosby Of Cheyenne
will be in the House at the regular ses-
sion. His county is pretty close polit-
ically but by good management the vote
got out this year and the fusion ticket
with the exception OF County Attorney
was elected. Crosby's majority Is larger
than it was two years ago.
Senator Ryan has presented bills in
the Senate changing the management of
the penitentiary coal mines and provid-
ing FOR society of miners with power
to choose the mine inspector as the Sec
retary of State Board Of Agriculture Is

duced in the House by Cassin.
Senator Cooke will introduce a joint
resolution providing for the submission
to the people OF the following consti-
tutlonal amendment: "All public print
ing shall be done by State printer who
shall be elected by the electors of the
State at each general election for the
election Of State officers and who shall

and who shall have a. salary for his SER
vices, to be fixed by the Legislature, and
all public printing shall be done at the
capital of the State at printing plant to
be owned and operated by the State; said
plant to be provided and as far as nec-
essary, maintained by appropriations
made by the Legislature" He thinks
that this will save much money to the

also as he indorses the plan in his BIZ
ennial report.
Breidenthal's banking bill was intro
duced in the Senate by Farrelly and in
the House by Paul Russell. Its purpose
Is to secure depositors against loss by
bank failures by creating a guaranty
fund by assessing all banks on their
capital stock. Mr. Breidenthal has given
the preparation of the measure great
care and thinks he has asplendid mea-
sure. 1t is being vigorously opposed by
the national bankers.
Senator John Armstrong is not intro
ducing many bills as he believes that
none but few very important measures
will pass at this session. Much Of his
spare time is spent perfecting his prison
and reformatory bill. He will devote con-
siderable time at the regular session to
an effort to get it through. 1t is admitted
by all who have given his plan any con-
siderable study that it will greatly i'm
prove the condition Of the inmates Of
these institutions.
The first special session Of the Kansas
Legislature was called in 1874 by Gov

Click and the purpose was to prevent
the spread Of the "foot and mouth" dis

1886 to re-apportion the State by Con-

Most of the members spent Christmas
in Topeka although many managed to

Armstrong started to go home but he

AS presiding officer in an emergency,
Glenn Fairchild is certainly a success.
Long before the session began its was
apparent that the fight would be in the
House, that the tactics of the Republi-
cans and corporations would be to fill
buster and that prompt action on the
railroad bill could be secured only bI
the exercise of the most vigorous meth
ods That veXatious and useless delays
were. prevented was due to the perfect or
ganiZation of the fusion members and to
the strength and ability Of Fairchild as
chairman. He had not been in the chair
three minutes until the Republicans and
their corporation bosses realized that he
was master of the situation and that he
had a clear majority of the House be-
hind him. They also realized that he
was ready and willing to carry out the
instructions of the majority to permit no
dilatory tactics to be resOrted to, and
push business, He did his work remark
ably we'll and deserves great credit for it.

The Feather Brush Holder.

A useful little article for some out
of-the-way corner is the feather brush
holder. For the tiny brush used in
busting bric-a-brac, etc., the best holder
is made from one of those waxen-
headed dolls to be had at the japanese
exhibits. The round head of this for
eign individual is pierced at the top,
making hole large enough to admit
of the handle of the brush passing
through.
The doll should be fitted out in q
robe of some japanese material-sill
or paper-and should have loop of rib
bon sufficiently long to admit of hang
ing from the wall. A few curious but
tons or old copper baubles, if sewed to
this gown and to the suspending ribbon,
would increase the effect.
