HOUSE PLAYS HORSE.
Solons, in Sportive Mood, Send Up
Resolutions Humorous and Otherwise.

Resolutions Humorous and Otherwise.
The house had it's first real whirl at
horseplay yesterday morning, and fol-
lowing as it did almost immediately
after the brief but impressive McKin-
ley memorial service, lost some of its
relish.
The ball was started by a resolution
offered by Mr.. Hugo and prepared
prior to the arrangements for the Nc
Kinley memorial. Mr.. Hugo's resolu-
ton referred to Mr.. DoWling's bill for
the relief of Mrs. Annie Nelson, moth
er of tripletS, who has been deserted
by her husband.
When the bill was reported Wednes-
day the slurring of punctuation by the
clerk made the bill read that the alb
Sconding father was the mother of the
triplets. The Hugo resolutions pro-
vided for the appointment of special
committee of nine members, one from
each congressional district, to inveSti-
gate the case, and that if 1T could be
proved that the recalcitrant dad is the
mother of the children, to provide some
striking manner for celebration Of
circumstance Of most unparalleled
nature, calculated to draw widespread
attention to our great and growing
state, from the confines of the Orient
to the utter yaStnesS of the Occident."
Mr.. Bowling, at whom the joke was
aimed, moved the adoption of the res
olutions, but not until after notice of
debate had been given, and the speak
er held that under the rules they must
go over for one day.
The Hugo resolutions disposed of,
the member from Harris attempted to
declare himself in with the humorist.
His sortie was a dismal failure, and his
resolutions demanding from Repre-
sentative w. I. Nolan an explanation of
why Nolan, as a member of the house
bowling team, was benched after the
third game in the house senate match
Wednesday afternoon, fell fiat. The
clerk read the resolutions and tossed
them in the waste basket. The speaker
took nc notice of them.

Mr.. Converse pointed out that at the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo,
Canada carried off rather more honors
than the Canadian cattle really de-

How foolish for town made youth
to turn up his dainty nose at coun-
try boy because the latter's hands are
rough, his neck and face brown and
his clothes course. We have noticed
that the hand spanked, bare-footed,
hard listed country boy makes niue b
better fight in the battle of life than
the pampered, high collared and
crease trousered youth of our cities,
whose clothes have always been dust
ed with a whisk broom instead of a
single. Let the town man out OF a
job try year on the farm. Flowing
behind a mule will take the kinks out
of his topnot, the frog out of his
throat, the gas of his stomach, the
weakness out of his legs, and will give
him an appetite, an honest living and
a sight of heaven.

A FIERCE STOR N
Bedding People Had One Mon
day Afternoon.
Barns Burned, Easements Flooded
VIII FIoyd's Close Call.

Monday afternoon this city was Wis
tied by one of the worst storms of the
season, and water fell in such quanti-
titles as to tax the sewer system of
our city considerably.
Lightning formed very conspicu-
Gus part OF the storms program and
did much damage in this city and vi
|cinity. During the worst of the storm
lightning struck a barn belonging to
Jay Cody living 3la miles west of this
city, in which was stored about 20
tons of hay, a quantity of grain, tools
etc. The barn, hay and grain were
all burned. but the stock and tools
were removed. Two large stacks of
grain standing near the barn were
also consumed. Mr.. Cody had $500
insurance on his barn; $500 on the com
tents and $500 on tools, stock, etc,
which he carried in the Ionia Farm
ers' Mutual Insurance Co. He will
get about 800 on a 1920 loss. The
barn was an old one and burned fierce
ly and neighbors had hard fight to
save his residence.
About the same time lightning
struck the Geo. Sabin barn located in
the south end of the city and occupied
by Will Floyd. Mr. Floyd was in the
barn at the time and was engaged in
grooming one of his horses when the
deadly fluid entered, killing the horse
on which he was working instantly,
and giving Will only slight shock.
After killing the horse the fluid
jumped to the third stall and tore a
shoe and portion of the hoof from
his other horse. The dead horse was
quite valuable one, but Mr.. Floyd
may consider himself very fortunate
in escaping death in the same manner
as did the horse. The barn did not
catch fire.
Several Easements of the city were
badly flooded during the storm. A. J..
Jonas saloon basement got a lot of
water; Bradley & Unger's bakery was
partly flooded; the Bedding Star took
lot of water in theirs. F. L. Smith
saw water in his shoe shop; Haysmer
Brothers got water enough for a num-
Der of shaves. w. |. Benedict got a
sufficient amount in his basement To
furnish soda water for the season,
In the office of the Citizens Tele-
phone Exchange the effect of the
storm was very severe. A large num-
Der of phones we're burned out and
the two operators, Mamie and Jessie
Presley, were badly shocked, Miss
Jessie was knocked fiat upon the floor
and for time was unable to rise.
Miss Mamie received severe shock
and is still suffering from the effects
of the same. Both ladies thought the
building had been struck, as the re-
port in the office was as loud as a
cannon

The latest amusement in Kansas
is the progressive peanut party which
sounds harmless. Only women play
the game, for it is too great nervous
strain for a man. A dishful of pea
nuts is placed on table, and -four
women, armed with hatpins, take
seats around it, and at signal begin
to jab into the peanuts with the hat
pins. 1t is a foul to touch a peanut
with the hands, and the two sticking
the most peanuts on the hatpin win,
and progress to the next table.

A New lnyention-This Is "A Progress
siVe Age Nail Goes Buzzing
Over Wires.

Over Wires.
The rural mail carrier is doomed
and already his days are numbered.
In the near future mail will be distri-
buted through the country by means
OF system of electric carriers run
on wires. Under the present system
the farmer puts his letter in the mail
box and waits for the carrier to- get it
and carry II TO the postoffice. Under
the new system he drops his letter in
the box without leaving his door step,
then presses a button and the box
goes buzzlng over the wires to the
central Office. Then, after the rail
road mails have come in, the operator
in charge at the central Office puts in
each box thus sent to him whatever
mail he may have received from the
trains addressed to the owner of the
box. The current of electricity flows
through the wires is then reversed
and the boxes are all carried back
into the country.
Right here is where the ingenuity
OF the inventor is displayed. On each
box Is a selecting mechanism that en-
ables 1t to travel back over exactly
the same principle as the return OF
matrices on a typesetting machine.
Consequently there will be no con-
fusion, no box going TO the wrong
place but every box go right back to
the man that sent it in.
