the little animal a tryout last Thurs

they stopped at friends house for
refreshments during which time the
ferret, which was kept in sack, was
exchanged for a white cat. While on
their way home Captain Gersey heard
strange sounds issuing from the sack
and upon opening the same the cat
jumped out of the sack and made for
the tall timber. The two ffremen

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. Senator
Stephen B. Fleming of Fort Wayne has
been given two of the most important
committee chairmanships in the senate,
and has also been placed on several
other important committees He is the
chairman Of the finance committee and
of the committee on railroads
The finance committee in the senate
is the same as the ways and means
committee in the house, and it is the
one that passes on all appropriation
bills and other financial matters con-
nected with the states business 1t is
the most important committee in the
senate by far, and the Craftsmanship is
always regarded as the choicest plum
on the chairmanship tree. This COM
mittee viii never have to handle the
requests Of the state institutions for
appropriations, and Will hold public
hearings for the purpose of giving the
institutions an opportunity to present
their claims
There is no place in the senate where
club can be welded with as much
effect and with much ease as by a
membership on the finance committee
The chairman of that committee is vir-
tuaIly boss Of the senate He is in a
position to- if he wishes. hold back
bills in the interest Of the state schools
and use them whip to bring sc ma
tors into line on other matters.
Then Fleming is at the ID of the
committee on railroads. which is an
other extremely important place at this
session. Fleming is deeply intereste ed
financially in traction interests in this
state and the general understanding is
that this legislature is going to make
the interurbans step some. Bills viii
