LEGISLATORS PLAY.
Spend the Closing Hours of the Ses-
sion Pelting Each Other
With PAPER.

Although the final adjournment of the
legislature will be at o'clock this even
ing the session practically closed last
night. The closing scenes indicated
that the legislators were bent on enjoy
ing themselves, Notwithstanding the
fact that they were soon to bid Topeka
goodby, and that their SO per day was
about to cease.
In the house pandemonium reigned
during the greater part of the evening.
There was little business to transact,
and the house was lat ease most of the
time. During one of the intermissions
the pages started to throwing paper
balls at one another. Soon the mem
bers began to join in, and in a short
that 1t was difficult to cross the hall.
The scene resembled a lot of school boys
playing SNOWFALL, only more so. dig
n1hed' members stood up and pelted
one another with newspapers twisted so
hard that they would almost draw blood.
Others gathered up loose papers by the
armful and dashed them on the head
OF some victim, nearly SmOthering him.
Every bald head presented a shining
mark, and wherever one appeared 1t
was gloriously pelted. Oursler and Hen
ley presented especially fine targets. sit
ting as they did near the center of the
hall, and they were pounded from all
directions.
At one time Mr.. McKeever rose dur
ing semilull in the battle to make a
motion, but before he had gone farther
than Mr.. Speaker" the missiles began
to fly at him from all directions and he
was forced to take his seat.
When the house finally adjourned the
floor was nearly knee deep with paper
and the hall looked as though it had
done business with a cyclone.

FULTON IS CHAIRMAN.
Tom Anderson Is Secretary of the
Asylum Location Committee.

The special committee of nine mem
bers, four from the senate and five from
the house, selected to locate a new state
insane asylum in accordance with the
provisions of the bill passed by both
houses, has organized by selecting SEN
atOr Fulton chairman and Tom Ander-
son secretary.
The commission will meet in Topeka,
at the office of the secretary of state
March q, for the purpose of mapping
out the work which it has before it.
The committee will visit the various
cities which seek the new asylum and
will consider all points at ISSUE in
Guiding offers of sites and other induce
mentS.
An effort was made in the senate by
Mr.. Forney to secure the adoption of a
resolution to limit the committees work
to visiting the towns which were voted
upon during the session. These were
Chanute, Columbus, Parsons, yelling
ton, Salina and Clay Center.
The resolution failed to pass and the
committee may use it's pleasure in this
matter.

GRAB DOES MT GO.
For Once the House Does MT Follow
the Senate in Looting the
TrAaSnrU.

One of the closing acts of the house
was an attempt to follow the action of
the senate in voting additional pay to
some of it's employees. Mr.. Gregory in
troduced a resolution giving a lot of the
clerks sums ranging from $25 to $50,
explaining that some of them had spec
tally hard work TO perform, while 9TH
ers would have to remain for ten days
after the session to make up their rec
ordS.
If a vote had been taken at that time
it is probabl the resolution would have
gone through, as some of the members
had been ''lobbied" by the employees to
work for it, but other members whose
favorites had not been included in the
list named in the resolution, moved
amendments to it so as to include
number of others. The result was that
it became loaded down and members
who had no interest in the resolution
began to protest. 1t was argued that
hensible thing it did not follow that the
house must do 1t also. Others argued
that the employees knew just what their
pay would be when they took the Jobs
and that they should not expect extra
pay.
Chairman Henley, of the ways and
means committee. then announced that
provision had been made for paying
every employe who was entitled to it
for work to be performed after the ses-
sion closed. Upon this announcement
the resolution was tabled.

lature can not draw their last pay till
the legislature adjourns sine die. This
is an inconvenience to many of the
members who haven't enough money
handy to settle their board bills, and
who hate to leave without paying them
and lay themselves liable to arrest
and punishment under the law which
they have just passed for the protection
of boarding house keepers.
In order to obviate the necessity of
any such action Mr.. Cole and Mr..
Grimes sent a communication to each
house this morning informing them that
their offices would be kept open after
six o'clock tonight, when the legislature
adjOurns sine die, in order to give the
legislators a chance to draw their pay
and get away on the night trains.

WICHITA LOSES.
House Refuses to Aid a Convention
to Be Held There.

Had Topeka's senator asked the legis-
lature to appropriate $1,000 of the states
money to aid a convention scheduled
for this city, Wichita would have been
the first to howl
Yet this condition of affairs did not
prevent Wichita from asking for $1,000
to aid the city in entertaining the
transmiSsissippi commercial congress
in that city next May. Senator Level
ling had the 81 600 put in the miscel-
laueous appropriation bill, but the
house knocked it out and Wichita gets
nothing from the state.
Mr.. Lewelling originally introduced a
bill to appropriate SO. 900 for this pur-
pose, but this also failed.
