got through the House a bill amending
the Sunday selling feature so as to re-
store jail punishment for violation.
The Senate refused to pass n resolution
extending the session for one week. and
concurred In the House resolution to
transact no more business after Saturday
night. Without debate and by n vote OF
90 to 8, the Senate substituted the minor

communicated these facts to the House
there was loud applause.

OF the session, led on one side by Mr..

the acre leaving net $40. so. Use
the same guano and plant the
acre In oats as soon as the ground
is dry enough. Follow with pc,

should be 20 bushel Of oats aud
a ton and half of peavine hay.
The oats at 60 cents, and hay at
$19 ton. and straw at So, would
bring $41.00. The expense OF
both crops, including baling the
hay, would not be exceed,ng$1O,
which would leave net $31.
