Des Moines, Feb. %.
The reformatory bill was offered in
the senate this morning. Debate con-
tinued on the state certiffcation of
teachers and a vote will be taken this
afternoon.
The senate devoted an hour to the
Washington memorial exercises, and
Senators Harper, Molsberry, Saunders,
Garst and Gilliland spoke.
The house held no session today.
While the house adjourned. over to-
day to observe the anniversary of the
birth Of George Washington, the SEN
ate did as appropriate thing In de-
voting one hour to short speeches rel
alive to the father of the country.
Secretary George M. Newman of the
senate read President Wash
ington's farewell address with
great feeling and perfect diction. 1t Is
probable that not more than half a
dozen Of the senators and others who
heard 1t had read the speech since
they had attained manhood, though It
is familiar as a school day exercise. ,
President Herriott made a few brief
remarks and then a half dozen SEN
ators claimed the floor and delivered
short orations Of appreciation of him
by Senator S. H. Harper of Ottumwa,
which brought about this brief exer-
else as first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen.
A Sentimental Legislature.
This legislature has been more SEN
timental than any that has preceded
it. 1t set new pace when it invited
Governor Larrabee to address it on
the occasion Of his seyenty-fourth
birthday anniversary and it has done
other things Of like character which
have been very fine in spirit.
There was no opposition in the sen
ate to the resolution by Senator Har.
per which was the source Of the exer.
else Of today. He and Senators Dun

on program.
