Speaker Henry Rines is in COM
plete control of the house SO far
as making up committees can give
impetus. Lieutenant Governor Burn
quist will have powerful influence
upon legislation which passes the
senate. There is every indication that
Mr. Rines and Mr. Burnquist will
work together.
Democrats already have served no.
tice that they will support the house
and senate organizations in putting
through progressive legislation. Al

not let this bother him in support

with the democratic program. With
the exception of Senator Works and
a very small group in the senate,
democrats show no disposition what.

Boiling Catches a "Krueer"

The sportsman proclivities of the
editor of this paper are always on
tap, and we fell for practical joke
Wednesday morning that had great
class to it. The Kinney store has
about as many jokers working around
1t as any place under the sun, B. F.
Boiling, deliveryman, just now holds
first prize. On the date mentioned,
in our rounds for news, Boiling and
Ray Ragen handed US one about a
couger that the former had caught
at his home In the west part of town
the night before. He described it as
yellow, with short tail and curiosity
certainly had Councilman D. l.. O'Neil
and the writer in a death grip in a
minute. Walton Marlowe of Wapello,
was in town with a rig and he want
ed to see the animal, so volunteered
to take us out I'd Boling's home. j.
H. Farley and Chief of Police Sim
mons fell for the joke, and five brave
scouts went to the Boiling home, where
search was made around the prem
ises Finally Mrs. Boiling informed
the sightseers that Mr.. Boiling had
trapped Bob Fleming's big bull dog,
whose name is "Kruger." Game to
the last the bunch drove back to the
Kinney store, where merry throng
of jokers had been gathered, and we
all stood for the merry TeeHee.'
