GOOD WORK
Of MEMBERS

on the score of clean work, it can be
stated that the present session is far

Rush Orders On In
Two Legi gis|adve Branches
Many Bills Pass While Some go to
the Waste Basket. Will Wind
Up on Time

The last rounds of Legislative action
are being taken. Some of the bills are
falling by the wayside. while others
go through with rush and bang A
favorable report from a committee has
its effect and where the bill comes out
without committee approval, it takes
some pretty strong oratory to inject
any life into the measure.
The new election bill, which was
considered in the Assembly was dis
'cussed, number OF amendments
offered, and it was almost ready
for the vote when the noon hour ar
rived
The amendment to the Tax
Commission bill were refused CON
ct1rrence in the Assembly and that
will bring forth a tussle. A confer
ence committee will have to be ap-
pointed to take the matter up and fry
it down to a point of passing
The Senate was also on the job this
and when adjournment came
at noon there was but one bill left
on the file to be considered. The
Assembly likewise made a hole in its
file list. Indicating that things would
be pretty we'll under cover before the
night session is proposed.
Among the bills passed in the up
per house this morning were the fol-
lowing:

A question: ...sed by Robt. Thomson
concerning dangerous corners for auto.

sentiment that while the corners were
dangerous for automobile drivers. that
it was due mainly to the excessive
sp eed at which many autos were
driven, but little attention being paid
to speed regulations, and the safety of
the public. After some discussion a

There is no death. The mysterious

lhow tranquil the passing of the dear

life beyond the grave.

home devoted wife and mother. Mrs.
Owens was one of those Of whom it

because she lived in it. She vas born
in New York sixty nine years ago. and
was married to William Owens ct the
age Of twenty. Most Of her life was
spent in Iowa, in Fayette and Howard

have since resided. Afflicted for many
months with = wasting malsdy, she
was ever IN edifying example Of pa

the weary hours Of pain she forgot
hergelf in her concern for others, and
placed her trust in Him to whom she
had always been faithful. Her last
hours were hallowed by the rites Of

peaceful and happy.
She was the mother of twelve chill
