i'm the House.

In the HOuHe.
An effort is being made by those inter-
ested in the municipal building bill to Sc
cure the consent of Speaker Henderson to
the passage OF a bill which will authorize
the building but not charge the appropria-
ton to this Congress. The Speaker, 1t is
understood does not view with favor the
pending public building bills. although there
is no special objection to this particular
measure.
Chairman Cannon OF the appropriations
committee Is reported as interposing no OBJ
lection to the BILL and 1t is thought that
the sentiment of the House is favorable to
the measure The committee on public
buildings and grounds is very much in ia
vor Of the bill.

THE HOUSE.

In retaliation against the action of Mr..
Cannon, chairman Of the appropriations
committee, yesterday In filibustering
against the passage of private claims, Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader, today at
tempted to block the consideration Of the
sundry civil appropriation bill until a
quorum was produced. When Mr.. Cannon
made the motion to go into committee Of
the whole to resume the consideration OF
the sundry civil bill Mr.. Richardson de-
manded a division. The division showed
less than 100 members present, and Mr.
Richardson made the point Of no quorum.
"The gentleman from Illinois yesterday,
said he, insisted upon quorum to pass
an $500 claim. 1 think we should nave
quorum today to pass a measure carrying
$50 600 co.,
1.-The gentleman may make himself re-
sponsible for an extra session., observed
Mr. Cannon in reply as the Speaker direct
cd a call of the House. Under that Order
the doors were closed and the sergeant-at-
arms was directed to bring in absent menu
bers.
Two hundred and one members appeared,
all voting for Mr.. Cannon's motion, and ao-
cordingly the House went into committee OF
the whole and resumed the consideration OF
the sundry civil bill.
Objections to New Legislation.
Mr.. Olmstead (Pa.) continued to make
points of order against all new legislation
in the bill and such increases as were not
authorized by law. He said the republicans
were being attacked for extravaganza and
it was time that every appropriation should
be carefully scrutinized and every increase
ly necessary to maintain the efficiency OF
the public service.

HABEAS CORPUS AGAIN.

The Martin boys and James Cnapin
the men held in Jail for stealing Roy

petition of habeas corpus in the d s.
trict court. Judge GilleLt will be here
Friday to hear it,. Hon. y. II. Bentley
Will conduct the case for the defend
ants. County Attorney Griffin and F.
r. Ellis Will resist the petition. The
defendants claim that the county at
tOrney offered them their liberty if they
would pay the costs in The case, and
their attorneys, it Is claimed, will make
a great point in their favor from that
offer, as going to show that they are
uDjustly held.
Tom Martin, the one released a few
weeks ago, has been IN Wichita the
past several days in consultation with
with his attorneys.
We believe the boys could have done
as we'll by retaining their former coun-

that the commissioners are powerless

[. C. DRURY DEAD.

The community was shocked Mon
day to hear that Luther C. Drury, of
Deerhead township, had passed away
Sunday night. His death was due to
injuries received by being thrown I'M
der horse Tuesday night of last week.
The deplorable feature Of the accident
was that he he'd out all night in an un-
conscious condition without assistance.
He was found on Wednesday morning
by neighbors and at once removed to
the house. DR.. Hutcheson, OF Coats.
was called and for few days he seem
ed to be improving but on Friday he
took relapse and finally passed away
Sunday night.
The accident happened in a canyon
in his pasture where he was driving
cattle, and while it is not known ex.
actly how it happened. the indications
from the bruises on his body, are that
his horse fell with him.
Funeral services were held az Lake
City yesterday. Rev. j. J. Griffin, pas
tor of the Baptist church of this city
preached the sermon.
Mr.. Drury leaves a wife and three
small children to mourn his sudden
departure, and citizens from all parts
of the county unite in extending sym.
thy in their distressing affection.
l.. G. Drury was So years of age and
one of Barber county's oldest citizens.
He was one of the county most sub.
stantlal stockmen and his honor and
integrity were without breath of re-
proach. We feel deeply his demise be-
cause he was man in every sense OF
the word-a man that builds up com.
munity and helps to maintain it in times
of misfortune and threatening calami
ty. But his earthly career is at an END
and all that we have of this noble man
| is his example among us.
