when the senate no pretense was
made Hsnat it was not genuine and not
signed by one who had the right to

members are resentful Of the insinua-

that nothing the governor has said
would warrant this. The stigma on
members, If there is one, comes solely
from the Gilliland resolution. They
assert that IL Gilliland had consulted

advertising of bribery would never
have been made.

Cars and Corn is Spelling.

Special to Times Republican.
Manson, Feb. 2e.-Inability to OBJ
tain cars as fast as corn came in, has
caused quite loss to the Western Ele-
vator Company, of this place. Early in
the winter the bins were filled with
corn and now that the weather has
turned warm. hardly reaching the
freezing point at night, the corn has
commenced to heat and has turned
badly in color so that it cannot be
shipped at all and is being sold to
farmers for almost nothing. About
two thousand bushels have spoiled here
and nearby towns are having the same
trouble.
