EDUCATION BILL PASSED
It Was Relieved, However, of Sen.
ator Dowdell's Maximum Scale
of Prices for Text Books.

Pierre March Especial to The
Republican.-The general education
al bill was passed in the senate after
cutting out Dowdell's amendment
providing for a maximum scale or
prices for school text books. This
ends the fight between the school
book trust and the people for this
session and Dowdell says the former
are victors.
The balance of the unapportioned
school lands were set aside for ex-
perlmental purposes and will finally
revert to the agricultural college.
The wholesalers bill to prevent
sale OF merchandise in fraud of
creditors was shot full OF holes and
buried by the senate after u hot
debate, being pronounced class
legislation.
The game law vas indefinitely
postponed after thorough mutilation
and the old hunting law remains
unchanged.
The house refused to provide for
the insurance of the live stock
pavilion at Mitchell, and after
dissecting the new supreme judge
bill, killed it by an overwhelming
vote, after which it passed the anti
cigarette bill, which prohibits the
sale of coffin nails to minors.
The senate divorce bill is up for
passage in the house today and will
probably 20 through without amend
/! ment while the senate will w1estle
with the legislative :.apportionment
bill. The house will also pass the
general appropriation bill at today's
session.

Was Well Fixed

One of the churches in a little,
western town is SO fortunate as to
a young woman as it's pastor.
She was called to the door Of the
parsonage day, and saw there a
much embarrassed young farmer Of
the German type.
"Dey said der minister lifed in
dis house." he said.
Yes" replied he fair pastor.
"Vell-m-I want to kit merritt"
ITO get married? Very we'll, 1
can marry you," said the ministries
encouragingly.
"Oh, but l got a girl a~lreaty," was
the disconcerting reply.-Town and
Country.

His Golden Opportunity

A Baltimore man tells of an adj
dress made to some school children
in that city by a member of the
Board of Trustees:
My young friends" said the
speaker, "let me urge upon you the
necessity of not only reading good
goods, but also of owning them, so
that you may have access to them
at all times. Why, when / was a
young man used frequently to
work all night to earn money to buy
books, and then get up before day
light to read them,"-Success.

bill prohibiting the use of bunting
dogs for five years was slaughtered

The fire marshal bill got through

The general educational bill is delay

fight Of the session as Dowdell will
undoubtedly undertake to uncover the
finger mark of the book trust.
An effort to amend the interest

tract rate to ten ger cent was then
pushed through. The senate bill to

QUIT WITHOUT CONFIRMING
One Hundred Postmasters Failed of
Confirmation Because of Fill
clustering Tactics.

After Postmaster Brass name had
been presented to the senate, which
was done last Friday, it was suppos-
ed that be would be confirmed before
congress adjourned Monday. The
reason that he failed of confirmation
is the same reason that applies to
one hundred other postmasters over
the country, whose names we're be-
fore That body. A telegram received
this morning by Mr.. Bras from
Senator Klttredge gives the following
information:
1.-THE democrats filibustered over
the ship subsidy bill until the close
OF session. defeating confirmatin Of
over Ii hundred p~ostmasters, yours

ton had 1T not been for the 6libus-
tering. The senate has been in
executive session but thirteen
minutes since last Friday"
Senator Gamble sent a wire to
parties in the city this morning
announcing that he had defeated Mr..
BRASS confirmation as postmaster of
Mitchell. The same information
appeared in the Sioux City Tribune
MonGay evening. In the newsc columns
of the Tribune, however, There is
nothing to show that the name OF
MIR. Bras or any other postmaster i'm

confirmation. The news DISPATCHES

Pierre, March 4.-The larger tele-
phone interests had a harpoon thrown
into them by the house yesterday
aft moon in the passage of house bill
No. 270, after a vain effort to sub
stitute senate hill No. 268. The
motion to substitute brought Glass
to his feet with one of his radical
speeches in which be charged that
the senate bill was drawn by the
representatives OF the Dakota Central
and was perfectly satisfactory to them
while the house bill was intended to
curb that company. Browne opposed
Glass IL favor of the substitution,
and he cited the actions of the civic
federation at Huron on the bills as
misleading and false. Horribly, Carley
and Simonson stood for the house bill
on the ground that they thought the
Dakota Central needed curbirg. The
bill passing by a majority Of ga,
alter the substitute bad been dispos-
ed Of.
The banking committee returned
AN %unfavorable report in the house

AIRY committee hut when it was re-
ferred it was sent to the committee
on privileges and elections who will
return it with a favorable report
after amending to cut out the SIX
months amendment placed in it by
the senate.
Price tried to smother the bill in
the rn1X-up, but found his efforts
defeated. The senate adopted the
house resolution for an adjournment
at noon next Friday, with tacit
agreement that if they we're not at
that time through the clock was to
be stopped to allow then to hnish.
The senate passed practically all
the special appropriation bills giving
$50, 5000 to Vermillion, $3.50, 900 to

Members of the commission frankly

able and fair, can in three short days

the members of the board of trustees
and the faculty OF the University Of
Wyoming have been studying for TWEEN,
ty years? This is exactly what the
commission undertook to do when 1t
slew the preparatory department in
three days and three lines. ENplana,
tons as to the aims and necessity of
this preliminary work were often elici-
ted by the commission from instructors
on the stand, but this testimony seems
to have been ignored or cast aside as
worthless. President risdel himself
pointed out that the preparatory course
rendered it possible for the student of
average ability to cover in three years
work which takes four years in the or
binary high school and it is a we'll
known fact that the extra year thus
gained is spent by graduate students

that cheap teachers should do this
foundation work, few thinking parents
or educators will agree. as the man
ner in which the fundamental princi,
pies of languages and of higher math-
ematics are impaired is sure to influ.

student.
Again, the figures given out by the
