or its chairman. or difference OF
opinion as to whose statue should fill
the only niche in the hall of fame al
lotted to Kansas which killed the bill
but at any rate it did not pass the
house.
The bill to reimburse Ex-Governor
W. J. Bailey for 81, 200 paid out in ac-
cordance with the ruling of the attor-
ney general in maintaining the execu-
tive mansion during his term as gov
ernor was stricken out. This item
was inserted by Governor Bailey s
friends, who have always maintained
that he should have never been COM
PEELED to reimburse the state for mon
ey expended in maintaining the exc
cutive mansion.
The claim of Thomas T. Kelly
against the state for $4,000 which he
claims he paid as a premium on a Sc
curity company bond was also disal-
lowed. The senate allowed the claim
after a hard fight in which Senator
Quincy charged that the granting of
it was equivalent to grand larceny
and asked that the statement be made
part of the record of the senate.
President Fitzgerald refused to permit
the statement to be made a part of the
record on account of the language used
and it was afterwards modified so
that while it means about the same
the language is not so plain.
While the bill was up for consider
dllOH lII0 senate committee learned
that the bond had been paid for by
the late C. J.. Devlin, whose bank
which failed was the depository for
the state funds. This precipftated the
fight on the floor of the senate but for
some reason unexplainable the meas
ure was passed by that body by a
small majority.
Some of the bills which appeared
on the first appropriation bill were
old and griny with age. and of them
dating back to 1885 and there were a
number of others who have been
passed upon by every session of the
legislature for the past ten years. Most
CT these older claims were disallowed.

Legislature Quit It's Active
Lab rs at Midnight.
Kelly Claim for Premium
Finally Killed.
NOT FOR JOHN BROWN
House Kills the Appropriation
for Statue.
Big Demonstration Precedes
the Action.

The legislat ture of 1907 practically
came to an end last night at midnight
with two hours to spare, according to
the last concurrent resolution adopted
setting the time for consideration of
message and bills. The time for the
cessa tion of action of bills excepting
those carrying appropriations and con-
current resolutions was originally
Thursday of last week. From time to
time the final day for the cessa ton of
considera ton of business has been
postponed and at IL O'Clock last night
another resolution extending the time to
O'Clock was adopted by the house.
At that time it was not settled that
the fight on the primary election law
was over and there yet remained the
miscellaneous appropriation bill to be
passed. The house worked rapidly on
the 75 or so items which it contained ir
some instances cutting out blocks of
or S bills and again passing them with
the same reckless abandon.
One of the bills which was killed late
in the evening at the suggestion of
Cyrus Leland, chairman OF the COM
mittee on ways and means, carried with
it an appropriation of Sc. 900 for a statue
of John Brown which was to have occu-
pied a place in the hall of fame in
Washington beside that of John J.
Ingalls,. The item had been allowed in
the miscellaneous appropriation bill by
the senate earlier in the day and while
q recess was being taken by the SEN
ate and house waiting on thes reports
of their conference committees the SEN
ate filed across the hall to representa-
tive hall and marched around the room
singing John Browns Body Lies Moul-
dering in the Grave
The senators were led by Senator
Waggener and as they marched the
procession gained in numbers from the
house as we'll as from the bystanders
who relished the. fun. AS Senator Wag-
gener stepped inside the door of repre-
sentative hall Chalk Beeson threw a
lariat over his head and led him about
the hall while the aggregation awaken
ed it's echoes with the chorus of the
John Brown song.
The procession then headed across
the hall towards the senate chamber
but changed their course and wound
In and out about the halls and corri-
doris of the capitol ascending and de-
cending stairways but never for mo-
ment allowing the volume of their
song to diminish. 1t may have been
the song. or the way it was sung, or
perhaps the temper of the committee,

A Nation Of CrippIes
Rheumatism Be.
yOnd Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic Suf.
fererS Is lJrico.O Treatment

If rheumatism continues to spread as
it has in the last few years, it would
seem as though We would before long
become nation of cripples. The ter
rible destructiveness of this disease
is apparent on every side of us. Almost
nine out of ten Of the cripples one
meets had their affection brought on
by rheumatism. How many thousands
more there are that are hopelessly bed
ridden and whom we never see. Rheu-
matism, from every nature of the dis
ease, can never cure itself and If neg
lected is bound to grow worse rather
than better. If you ever have any
twings of rheumatism go to your drug
gist and get a bottle of Uric.O. the won
derful new Rheumatic Specific. 1t
will cure you and 1t is the only treat
ment in the world that will cure you
permanently and thoroughly Uric.O
cures by its direct action on the mus
Giles, blood and kidneys. 1t seeks out
the poisonous Uric and Rheumatic
Acid and drives it from the system and
it Is only treatment of such nature
that will ever cure Rheumatism. Lin
| iments and plasters only serve to drive
it from one spot to another. They
never cure rheumatism because 1t is
primarily blood disease, and until the
blood is cleared from the poison cure
cannot take place.
| There never was case of Rheuma-
tism that Uric-O could not cure and
should not put off taking it. You can
test Uric-O free of charge if you wish.
Just cut out this advertisement and
send it to the Smith DR. company,
| l6S Smith Bldg, Syracuse, N. Y, to-
gether with your name and the name
of your druggist, and state that you
have never used Uric-O and would like
to try It, They will give you free,
through your druggist, rs cent bottle
which you can test and try to your own
satisfaction.
Uric-O is sold and personally recon-
mended in Remington by b. A. Quin-
