'The committees can work just the
same whether the house Is here or not,
said Mr.. Brady of Lawrence, who is a
Stubs man."
You can't hold the committees
down to work when they know that
the other members are at home having
a good time" retorted Stubs.
Mr.. Ham of Rocks entered his pro-
test against Robinett's motion, and
sail he wanted a roll call.
a. L. Archer of Brown moved that
the house adjourn until 10 a. 10. Satur-
day. It was ruled out of order.
L. H. Seaver of Ellsworth moved that
lei the house adjourn it adjourn un-
til 10 a. m. Saturday. This motion
carried.
Then the members who wanted to go
home commenced to jump UT and ask
to be excused till Monday. Adams
FarriS, Fisher, Hulett, CoWan, Schmidt,
Sourbeer, Thompson, Steckel, Plumb,
Brady, Dawson, Goebel, SchermerhOrn,
Ossweiler, and the entire committee on
public highways were excused, and a
dozen or more members were on their
feet clamoring for recognition for a
similar rpo when it became evil
dent that there would not be a quorum
left if the thing kept on. MI. ALBANIAN
Of Atchison got the floor.
IF we are going to excuse all the
members, I am in favor of adjourning
until Monday and be done with 1t" he

motion made by the gentleman from
Ellsworth that when we adjourn, we
adjourn till Saturday at 10 a. m. and
that we adjourn until Monday at two
o'clock"
The motion to reconsider seemed to
be about a tie on the viva voce vote. A
division was called for, and h rising
vote vas taken. h members who
were opposed to Stubs plan were
willing to vote against him on a viva
voc vote, but they would not stand up
and be counted against him., so the
motion to reconsider was lost by an
overwhelming majority.
Then the house adjourned.
There was considerable growing
among the members after this Stubs
victory. They expressed themselves
pretty freely, and said that Stubs had
into line. They said the members of
the house wanted to adjourn, and that
Stubs was able to prevent them only
because the members were afraid TO
stand up and let him see who was
fighting him..
But Stubs himself was happy. He
felt that he had been indicated, and
when the decisive vote was taken and
pretty nearly all the members stood up
for his side, he clapped his hands and
roared with laughter, while his friends
helped out with the applause.

thing queer bou the way in which
members Of the legislature are intro
ducing so many resolutions instructing
the Senators and representatives IN
congress- to do thus and so on var
IT wonder if it is not being done
for the purpose of giving what p
pears to be an official recognition to
Senator Burton" said Mr.. Leland
mr. Burton will doubtless take these
resolutions to his friends and say
Here, you see the people u in kan
sas recognize that I am their repre-
sentative here in h senate Doesn't
this make me all right agatnF II Just
occurred to me that possibly that is
what so many of these resolutions are
supposed to accomplish"
w. Y. Morgan denies with large and
enthusiastic emphasis that he is a
candidate for m of congress
from the new Seventh district which
the present legislature will create.
Not for me-" says Mr.. Morgan. Il
have my and am making
more money out of that han 1 know
what to do with. What do I want of
a seat in congress?"
Members of the legislature who
want to obtain copies OF this paper
containing cartoons of themselves
need not be afraid to come right to
the Office and ask for what they want.

the business Office will never suspect
why they want the papers. This re-
mark is suggested by the sight of a
member of the legislature in deep
conference with a little newsboy in
front of the Journal office the other
day. The member slipped a coin into
the boys hand; boy darts into the
Journal Office and quickly returns
with a bundle of papers of a date sew
eral days previous; member opens one
of the papers to see If it IS the one

sale of ten papers~all at once, these
precautions adopted by the member
would be wise. But it's different in
town. Step up to the counter, gentle
men, and call for what you want-in

blanket over his hopes for some time.
Mr.. n thinks his bill win
pass. He says: 81 find that thet plan

senate in proportion as It has in the
