and Rhinehardt, Of Lincoln. were ap-

Shelby. His term will expire IN 1879.
This completed the special oruer
business Of the session and now Dc
oan the effort on the part OF hleiii-
bers to get through legislation IN
which they or their peoPle were IN
terested. The ball was set in motion

bill went to the calendar.
Nothing daunted by Mr.. McLean,s
fate other members now sent up bills.
The same objection met them. The
volume of the current TOWARD the

Old bills. new bills. bills frazzleC

but they never got any further.
