caucus of the republican members of
the house, which had been called by
Chairman West, of the state central
committee, and the caucus bolt, which
has long been in the air, became an
assured fact. Trouble, and much of

of the house, which convenes tomor-
row noon, and from rival camps the
battle for supremacy will be precip-
tated to the floor of the house.
The first contest is expected to be
over the election of speaker pro-
TEN, and for this position the allies,
who have been styled "Progressives, 4"
have declared for Representative
Edward D. King, of Galesburg, who
was selected at conference last night
for the candidate for the speakership
in opposition to Shurtleff.

A Lost Fee

The Right Hon. Augustine Birrell
once believed that he had been smit-
ten with a mortal disease and went to
consult distinguished doctor who
lived in the neighborhood Of Harley
street and who was a great expert on
the disease of which he thought he
was victim. 1t was hot day in July,
and as he walked from his London
home, which was in the neighborhood
Of Addison road, TO Harley street he
perspired freely.
He found the great physicians
rooms all crowded with patients
probably. he thought, suffering from a
similar complaint to himself.
While waiting he found OH the table
book written by the great physician
on the subject Of the particular dis
ease. He opened the book, and the
first words which caught his eye were
these: 1.-The patient who is suffering
from this disease never perspires."
He had Scotch blood in his veins, so
he picked up his hat and gloves and
walked out, and he never saw that
eminent physician.-London Scraps.

A peculiar custom OBTAINS in the
Twelfth lancers-the playing of the
Vesper hymn, the Spanish chant and
the Russian national hymn every
night of the year after the +1ast post
has sounded 1t is said that the play
ing of the Vesper hymn originated in
one of the officers wives presenting
the regiment with new set of instru-
ments on condition that the hymn
was played every night after the "last
post" The playing of the Spanish
chant is declared to be penance for

the playing of the Russian national
anthem.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

Norris and Husting. None of these

taking leading hand in the fight for
an investigation and because of the
support he has received from Repub-

appointed by Speaker Bancroft are

be depended upon to make the investi-
eating proceedings interesting.
All have been ardent supporters of

off any proceedings that might look
bad for their candidates, as under the
resolution any three members can
compel the attendance Of any witness
desired and the giving of his testi-
mony.
Candidates Asked to Appear.
The Investigating committee has
been organized with Senator Marsh as
chairman and Assemblyman Ham
brecht as secretary and the first meet
ing WIS held at 8 o'clock this morn
ing. All the seven candidates who ran
for the senatorship last summer have
been written to. asking them to appear
at the first meeting today. 1t was de
cided at the meeting that no special
attorney should be hired to assist in
the Investigation since all members of
the committee except Mr.. Chapple are
lawyers. The pro-Stephenson men
were inclined TO stand out for an at
torney but finally Welded the point.
The committee decided to hold SEES
slons every day as nearly as possible
the sessions to continue six hours a
day. In the meantime the members
will not attend the legislative sessions,
but ii necessary will be present at the
joint conventions at noon. when the
vote for senator must be taken each
