mtttee has been discharged in accord
ance with it's wishes as expressed in

Webb, the secretary, Mr.. Schneopper,
as we'll as the representatives of the
..-ress who have refrained from giving
~ osctty to the wild and unfounded
the exs ton started.
The W., Of Thursday was decided
ly interesting. both houses holding
two sessions, this being the first time
during the present assembly that the
senate has been obliged to meet dur
ing the evening for the transaction of
business.
Almost the entire time of the house
was given to the consideration of SEN
ate bills on their final passage. Among
the important measures that were
passed was the Senator Duis bill pro-
viding that the state constitution be
so amended as to allow the establish
ment of state terminal elevators, the
Koffel bill appropriating 100000 for
immigration purposes, while the bills
increasing the salary Of the clerk Of
the supreme court and prohibiting the
drinking of intoxicating liquors on
trains, were among the more impor-
tant measures killed.
No State Flag.
The state flag question took a rath-
er peculiar turn during the afternoon
session of the house when, following
a stirring and patriotic address by
Major Frame of Walsh, the report of
the committee was turned down. Major
Frame in his address voiced the opin-
ion that the state already had flag
and that he believed 1t should be re-
tanned.
Idemnify Horse Owners
A measure that was passed by the
house and that will be of interest to
farmers over the entire state was S.
B. No. 4, providing for an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 for the Identifying Of
owners of horses killed because Of
having been infected with glanders.
Senate "Fussed" Considerably.
During the afternoon session Of the
senate there was considerable oratory,
resulting in little work. Questions of
suspensions of rules, points of order
and. attempts at bringing up bills re-
ported by committees, taking them out
of their regular order, resulted in the
afternoon being passed without accom-
plishing great deal. In the evening,
however, a long string Of bills was
passed.
Two bills were vetoed by the COVER
nor yesterday, namely, that one ap-
propriating funds for the G. A. R., as
being unconstitutional, and that pro-
viding for the purchase of the Man
dan Indian village. as being unneces-
sary.
