The woman suffrage bill again went
to defeat today in the senate, The
bill was a special order and the gal.
leries were filed. Lively debate ensu.
ed butw hen the vote was taken there
were ten for and sixteen against;
Waite voted for submitting the desired
amendment. The senate had little
time left for anything else,
In the house a resolution was intro.
duced by Dwight looking TO an investi.
CATION OF the anti.gambnng lad. 1t
passed with scarcely d dissenting
voice. One charge made on the floor
was that state officers charged with
its enforcement were receiving regular
payments from the gamblers.
The commissioners road bill re.
ceived consideration and was recon.
mended for passage by committee OF
the whole. Allen wanted TO amend il
so as to make road supervisors elective
and the speaker wanted 10 dispense
with the reading OF the measure-just
accept it as il was.
King did not want any changes in
the bill. Not only have the county
commissioners and the county attor.
neys threshed this bill over said
King. but both OF the committees OF
this Legislature have done the same
and as a result they have agreed to
recommend the bill as ii now is, for
passage. One OF the points 10 which
We devoted the most attention was
that relating 10 the election or APP.
pointment of road supervisors and it
was decided TO stand by the provisions
in the bill on that subject"
The speakers motion prevailed and
it will undoubtedly become a Law as in.
PRODUCED.
A number OF other measures Were
favorably passed upon IN committee
and three joint memorials to congress
were quickly sent TO third reading and
adopted. They were for the relief oi
the settlers on the Absorakce fores,
reserve; in relation I o the unloading
of live stock in transit and for the re
lief OF settlers in ChOteau, Teton ant
F1athead counties who have located

Food We Ought TO Eat.

II has been said that n man should
be IN very good health II he takes no
more than three different kinds Of food
at any one meal. II should be served
as nearly as possible In its simple
state, More food is required on a
damp, raw, cold day than on a cheer.
full. dry one.
As n rule. it is safe TO assume that
what we crave for is best for us,
though in cases Of illness this point
should not be strictly adhered to.
Men require n good deal more food
than women; those who work hard
more than those who lead a sedentary
life; those who are growing more then
those who have reached maturity.

This was a sensational day in the
house. Like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky came a report from the ju-
dietary committee censuring Judge
Harvey, but advising against impeach.
ment. No report was expected before
Monday. in fact, members of the com.
mittee had so announced. but without
previous announcement the following
report was offered:
mir. Speaker-Your committee on
judiciary. to whom was referred the
following resolution. towit;
" Resolved, That Edward Harvey,
a judge of the Second judicial district,
be ~impeached for high crimes. mis-.
demeanors and OF malfeasance in of.

by this house Of representatives to
prepare articles Of impeachment, pres
ent them at the bar of the senate. and
prosecute the same.

had the same under consideration and
have heard evidence concerning IN,
matters therein contained. a tran
script of which evidence is herewith

QuicEsauds.

Quicksands have a horrible fascina'
ton Tor writer's and readers Of fiction
and the reality Is every bit ms bad as
fancy paints II. One Of the most re-
markable ~Quicksand accidents occurred
years ago In New Zealand. Two pros
pectors were wading across the mouth
OF a small stream running into the sea
In the north island Of New Zealand
Both stepped into a q%uicksand. one
who merely touched the edge OF It got
loose. The other sank rapidly and. In
spite of his companions efforts, was
sucked under. When an attempt was
made to recover the body, 1t was found
that the sand was enormously rich IN
gold. From a single ton OF It t3oo
