Humorist- New Bills.

AFTER the stormy session In the house
yesterday over the kindergarten meas
ure, II is fair prediction that there
viii be a calm today. In fact there Is
no measure carrying with it storm
signal in sight,
The proceedings yesterday afternoon
aiter the passage Of the kindergarten
act, were very tame, Representative
McRae, who had given notice the day
before Of his purpose to move a recon-
slderation Of his bin No. 81 against the
smelter smoke nuisance, stated, ii the
house would assure him unanimous
consent 10 let him introduce a new bill
ne would not move to reconsider. This
consent was not given, and he did not
ask Tor a reconsideration, but plainly
stated his disgust with the result.
Ihere was some humor introduced
toward the close Of the session by
representative Wilson, who may fair
~ be termed the humorist OF the house.
HIS railroad bill No. l0l came up and
there was good deal Of merit in IT,

tbe house was "agin' him. Repre-
sentative Wilson was game thoughand
he and his bill died game.
He started in apparently well pre-
pared and consumed not only his own
une but that of several other men,

gan to ask him questions, and then he
tailed. He admitted he couldn't an

who dealt him the Knockout blow, and
II was stemwinder too In a very
lew words he said the people of south
ern Utah had good reason to be salts
ned with the treatment they had re-
ceived at the hands OF the railroads
and gave one instance which proved
his statement. He said few years
ago the millers Of northern Utah en-
tered into a combine and raised the
price Of flour. In this dilemma the
railroads came TO the front and gave
them such low rates that they were
enabled 10 purchase their flour in Idaho
ana lay 1t down at their doors cheaper
than they had been able to do before,
when they had purchased their flour In
and about Salt Lake. This was enough
ana the Wilson bill went to where the
wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest" The vote was IS
