Jefferson City.--The attempt 10 ex.
pedite the business Of the house by
passing bills In groups Of Ave again
failed Monday afternoon when obiec-
lions were raised to the measures In
the first batch calendared for Anal dis
position.
A fruitless effort was made 10 con-
vince the directors that separate ac-
ton on each bill would result In many
measures being ignored In the few re-
naming days OF the session. A mo-
tlon then carried TO dispense with the
calendar committee, which has sought
to throw aside bills without merit and
otherwise TO rush the work of the
house.
Unless another attempt Is made to
bunch the billg, the session Is certain
to end with numbers Of them 'in tho
air."
One Of the bills passed, introduced
by Mr.. Droste, Of st. Louis. at the in.
stance Of the st. Louis Bar associa-
ton, is expected TO aid the supreme
and appellate courts In clearing their
overcrowded dockets. It provides
that the appeals courts shall disre-
gard errors in or defects of any de-
cisions or actions OF the trial court
which do not materially prejudice the
substantial rights Of the appellant or
plaintiff in error.

Future Ideal Town.

u the ideal town of the future, as
pictured by Sir Oliver Lodge. the

tricity for lighting. The gas, pro.
duced from the coal at the mine, wiz
be sent long distances through pipes.
as water is now distributed. Il Is.
hoped that the experiment will be tried
soon, the burning OF crude coal in town
being absolutely forbidden. and at least
two English towns are already conbid-
ering the plan. The purificationl Of
the air Is one OF the greatest needk in
the Improvement of the conditions Of
