Bismarck. y. D.. Feb. 26.--The first
test Of strength on the question of
ON suffrage probably will be seen
in the house this afternoon. The ways
and means committee has reported out
for passage the WARDROBE bill. and it
is on the calendar for consideration
today. With every prospect that it will
be reached before adjournment this
evening.
The WARDROBE bill is not dissin1ilar
to the Bronson bill by which a vote
on the question would be had in the
next general election. The ways and
means committee still has the trio Of
senate bills that We're passed recently.
it being understood that they have not
Vet had an opportunity to consider
them, n they may not be reached
for several days.
There is a lobby here working for
the suffrage measure. although the
support is not as animated as it was
at n time. the favorable action Of
the senate on the proposition having
quietcd the workers very materially.
May Continue Inaugural Ball.
The Hedalen bill which proposed
the adjustment Of the Inaugural! ball
by prohibiting the use of any part Of
the capitol building for dancing pur-
poses, was killed by the house yestcr-
day after having been previously rec
commended for passage.
Bismarck people were quite deeply
interested in the proposition. Yester-
day it merely lacked a constitutional
majority to insure its passage and it
may he revived today.
Cno. no11 ~-.-
The proposal to prohibit t%reasurers
of district schools from depositing
money in their own name. such mon.
eys belonging to the districts. went
back to the ways and means commit
tee of the house yesterday. 1t was up
for passage. on a favorable RECON-
mendation of the committee of the
whole, and after an attempt had been
made to indefinitely postpone it. the
bill was re-referred to the committee.
Coal Inspection Submitted Again.
Another measure that went back
to committee yesterday was the house
bill providing for the inspection of
coal. The measure would have placed
the inspection of coal under the list
of duties to be performed by the oil
inspector of the state. ON indefinite
postponement. which was proposed
yesterday. h measure was successful
in staying alive, and its recolnmitInent
to h committee resulted.
Makes Counties Liable for Patients.
A bill bearing upon the income of
the state institute for the feeble mind
cd at Grafton was killed by the house
yesterday after having been passed by
the senate. 1t probably will be revived
today on a motion to reconsider.
h bill, known as S. B. 1O4, and
introduced by Senator Cashel, pro-
vides that in instances where a feeble
minded person is placed in the insti-
u and the parents or guardian fails
to make payment for his care. then the
county from which he is sent. is made
liable. The institution is now out
about $4,000 as a result Of the opera
tons of the present law.
Another institute bill was UP yester-
day. but was passed by the house. 1t
provides that in certain cases the COM
missioners on insanity. may sit as a
committee board on certain cases of
feeble ~mindedness.
Public Drinking Cup.
So far as.the house is concerned, the
public drinking cup lee not worry.

ity being responsible.
Today there doubtless will be an at
tempt a to secure reconsideration
Of the bill. and several forces that are
at work here for general health laws
will seek to secure its passage.
House Wants Terminal Elevators.
The house believes in the plan of
establishing terminal elevators, and
h bill providing for funds to erect
such terminals was passed Yesterday,
1t is known as II. B. 422. 1t authorizes
the levying Of a general tax to create
the fund, and places the management
of the proposed elevators in Minnesota
and Wisconsin in the hands Of the
board Of control Of state institutions.
Last November the voters Of the
state passed a constitutional amend
ment which authorizes the legislature,
if 1t sees tit, to establish such elevators.
n this step is taken with the idea
of taking advantage Of that constitu-
tional provision.
$4,000 for Panama. Pacific.
The amount agreed upo nby the sem
ate for the establishment of an exhi-
bit at the Panama-Pacifc exposition
in San Francisco is $4,000, no pro-
vision being made for an exhibit at
the exposition at San Diego.
AHG OJ1S1Ha! proposition PROVIDED
for appropriations for both fairs, but,
in view of the general policy of prun-
ing appropriations. tho San Diego ex-
position has been dropped. There is
no sentiment for the division of the
$4,000 appropriation. 1t being deemed
necessary to have at least that amount
for the San Francisco fair.
