CAUCUS ON RAILROAD BILL.
Railroad Attorneys Say it is Ex-
tremely Severe.
CASES GoTo SUPREME COURT.

Topeka Feb. 1a-The republican
members of both houses held a caucus
in the senate chamber and agreed upon
the subcommittee railroad bill with a
few amendments The principal
amendment, and the one of vital inter
est, was one giving the railroad board
the right to go into the supreme court
and enforce its orders This question
was discussed at length 1t was not a
question whether or not the authority
should be granted, but as to how it
should be done All were in favor of
such provision, but many differed as
to the best method.
Senator Morrow presided. The bill
was read section by section. The sec
ton containing the provision to
what should become of the orders of
the railroad board did not c1Othe the
commission with absolute power to
require the enforcement of its orders
Senator Smith offered an amendment
making it the duty of the attorney
general to go into the supreme court
and, by mandamus proceedings compel
the railroads to obey the boards or
ders- 1t all resulted in the adoption of
q substitute offered by Mason, of
its discretion to call upon the attorney
general to bring such proceedings to
enforce its orders.
Senator Miller succeeded in having
the salary of each commissioner re-
duced from 1000 to 81, 500 a year
A. A Hurd, Kansas attorney for the
Santa Fe, says if the bill. as amended,
becomes a law. it will be the worst
law for railroads in the United States.
N. H. LOOMS, assistant Kansas
solicitor for the Union Pacific, said:
1.-THE bill as amended is extremely
severe on the railroads.
Colonel j. H Richards, Kansas
solicitor for the Missouri Pacific, said:
THE bill as it stands is an exceedingly
drastic measure and goes much further
than we expected bill to ut the
hands of this legislature

theme What is the Kingdom of
God?" she asked. lit is what is
known to the christian as the spiritual
kingdom. We have in the world
three kingdoms, and man is assigned
to the animal kingdom, but this is
hardly fair. for man has large range
of life that the brute creation knows
nothing about. Man may be called
an -'intellectual, animal.' AS man
has range of life unknown
to the brute, so the spiritual
man has a life of which the intellect
ual animal knows nothing. He must
be born. from above in order to see
this kingdom of God. Prof. Drum
mond tells us that the element of one
kingdom cannot of itself ascend into
the kingdom above it. So man, the
intellectual animal, cannot of him self
enter into the kingdom of God. The
spirit of God comes down into mans
Heart and thus opens the door into
the spiritual kingdom. This is the
birth from above.'' At the after
meeting six young people accepted
Christ.
