Eager to Adjourn.
Before taking up the third reading
of senate bills the president pro TEN
attempted to ascertain the pleasure
Of the senate before that order OF
business vas taken up. Senator Steel
saw the opening and with all sedate-
ness, removed his glasses and calmly
moved that the senate adjourn.
Senator Hanley spoiled the plan by
asking delay long enough to submit
a committee report on Senate bill No.

changed by a special committee

While Mr.. Hanley was making out his
report Mr.. Davis, the determined 1T
tie senator from Sheridan county rose
and addressed the president pro ten
In a. stern voice, saying that il there
were many Of the senators absent it
was their own fault, and that'i it was
an Injustice to those who were present
to finish out the days work to force
an early adjournment uron. He said

Senate bill &c, Talcott, relating to
property exempt from taxation, was
then put on it's third reading. Sena'
tor Talcott, its parent, rose and called
attention to the fact that section s in
this bill was about the only change
there was from the old law. The bill
exempts from taxation all property as.
sessed at a value OF less than $500,
and would cut off the "whack.up"
county treasurers and sheriffs have
Heretofore entered into in collecting
delinquent taxes on property assessed
in those small amounts. Everybody
present was answering AYE" pleas.

THE roll call had just been completed
when Senator K%retschmar returned
to the chamber, and Secretary Aus

the roll was being called for and he
voted in favor of the bill. When the

was found the bill had received %

Then Senator Talcott attempted to
adjourn the senate, but he was put off
again because Mr.. Hanley was still
behind that report on senate bill No.

Cass put on his overcoat and started
for the door, as he did not believe
there were enough present to proper
