the legislators for the asylum at Cha

cases disposed Of?
The prospect now is that the speak
Of the house will get his committees
all appointed by the time the farmer
members have to go to planting corn.
S. G. Brown returned from Topeka
hors-de.ccmbat. In other words he
talked OF Chanute so hard and loud
while there that he can hardly whis-
