~ broken out again, fortunately
in committee, where the public
cannot gaze at it. It is not making
any noise, for 1t is being held up with
Gag attached. There are several very
peculiar conditions existing. 1t seems
that the Newhouse faction has taken
heart again and has commenced to
spend money for lawyers. Judge j. +.
Fawcett is ordinarily the attorney for
Mr. Newhouse and he was importuned
to come to Columbus and make play
against the bill This he wisely re-
fused to do, for he realizes that no
body can take hand in that fight and
expect to get away without a berating
from the side that he Is not on. Jul
ius Whiting, as an attorney, thought
he might as well come as not. as he
was accused of having hand in al
most everything that is going on any
how. So he came down and took a
hand in the game. lie is well ac-
quairted with Mr.. Taylor, who Is here
championing the measure. but when
he met him in the lobby of the senate
he passed him by with frigid nod.
1t is said that Mr. Whiting had said
he was in favor of the centralizing
plan, and his appearance here on the
other side was somewhat embarrass-
ing He came as an attorney, how
ever, and his presence will have just
that weight that attaches to lawyer
who is putting in his best licks to earn
his salary, whether in court or in the
lobby. But the bill is held up pretty
effectually for the present. 1t Is said
that it Is the intention of some parties
to keep it there, but whether Senator
Wilhelm will permit that or not is a
question. IT is known that he does
not owe Mr.. Newhouse anything, for
that gentleman and his friends opposed
him last fall, but there are exigencies
to every occasion unless it is soon got
out of the way, and this occasion may
have an exigency attached. The bill
cannot come up this week. Mr.. Tay-
lor is still here, but Mr.. Newhouse is
getting in some hot work, and some
thing may yet come OF it.. The best
guess, however, is that the bill will
become a law. It has been favorably
passed upon by the committee, but not
reported for the calendar.

get salty doses.
| In this connection it may not be un-
interesting to relate that Mr.. Allen
is said to be the only man who sue
ceedcd in getting the better of Joseph
B. Foraker, when the latter was gov
ernor. Allen was then a clerk in the
Office of the adjutant general. He
early developed penchant for loaf
ing, and had the most acute attack of
tired feeling of anybody about the
state house. 1t did no good to re-
monstrate with him. SO the governor
was appealed to. Foraker promised
that he would have to work or dis
connect himself with the administra-
ton. He went to the adjutant gen.
erals Office and found Allen with his
feet on the desk, lazily whiting away
at one of the states handsome yellow
lead pencils.
Josiah" said Governor Foraker,
''how does it come that 1 never see
you do any work?"
Joe" drawled Josiah, 81 worked
too hard to get this Office to do any
work since am in it."
Josiah retained his place.
A bill of interest to teachers and stu
dents was introduced Thursday, an
amendment to the Boxwell law. 1t
provides for uniform examinations,
twice year. in township and Joint
district schools. the questions TO

state school examiner The bill makes

stances entities the holder to admis-

II there is no high school in the town

ma resides, such pupil may attend the
nearest high school at the expense of
his township board of education.

Senator Wirt's bill to appoint an
interpreter for the Mahoning county
courts has passed the house and is
now law. Heretofore all that has
been necessary has been to show in
pleadings that it was railroad COM
pany and verdict would be all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000 for the fellow
whose finger got pinched. 1t is
