by a bad siege of lagrippe.
Representative Rose was called home
by wire saying there was serious sickness
in his family.
Governor White was a senate visitor
yesterday and occupied a chair during a
portion of the proceedings.
Chairman Thordarson took lots of
pleasure in reporting for the slaughter
house bill 81, which was aimed at the
repeal of the law requiring publication
of the election returns-and the boys

Senator Simpson and Tom Poole were
testing the punching machine at the
Northwest last night, and after Simpson
had hit the thing for the third time, a
request came from the upper floor that
the person who was shaking the building
desist, as a guest was rocked about in
bed SO he couldn't sleep.
Senator Wolbert had a letter yester-
day from an admiring constituent-who
said he wanted to come to the capital

years of effort, through no fault of mine,
I am beginning over again on this propo-
sition.
Congressman-elect Marshall has been
in Boston for several days in the interest
of the Cakes beet sugar factory, and the
interchangeable hustlers from Cakes have
not given up their attempt to start the
factory and soon. Hon. A. c.. McGilli-
vray, who recently returned from Chi

live town.
If the thirty-fve day adjournment res
olution had passed, there would be an
interesting scramble in the house just
at present to get bills on the calendar.
The work of the legislature is just fairly
started, and it is observed that many
matters come up that did not enter into
the consideration of the members who
wanted to adjourn early. Hasty legisla-
tion is not best, and it has always been
