AND SATAN CAME, ALSO


There have been great doing in legislative
and political way the past week. The Rowland
blpwup before the grand jury the start-off.
Then he landed in the baste and languished for
several days before being taken out of soak by
friends. 1t is mooted question in some quar-
tiers whether not he felt out of place very much,
the only great difference being the absence of the
morning prayer and motions to adjourn. Monday
afternoon the house of representatives expelled
him by unanimous vote and SO far as he is con-
cerned, his official connection with out state gov
ernment' thus abruptly ceased. In addition to
Howland number OF other angles came into be-
ing through the deal.
Judge Lindsey gets into the game and proceeds
to go alter those who have been fighting him and
demands the arrest OF number OF more or less
prominent citizens, and the district attorney says
he is going to look deep into all the matters and
others sms alleged, and if there exists a spark
of fire from whence all this smoke has arisen, he
is gong the limit and show up everybody and ev-
erything and settle the catliop for aud all.
1t may be possible before get through, and
the perpetual grand jury takes rest that the Pc
lice Gazette will be as mild -ead'ng Sunday
in daily papcrs.
Governor Carlson also embraced the grand OPP
portunity to break into the lime light by way of
special message to the law makers, in which he
told them many things they already knew. but de-
veloped nothing particularly new or startling. II
is understood that he had promised to swat the
seven dollar day boys and girls with club shat
had been nicely driven full OF nice, long ten-penny
nails with the heads filed to pin point, but II
really the order OF stocking filled
with sugar 1t is also whispered that the message
was not the one that was originally prepared and
ked by sundry and diverse gentlemen who
seem to have assumed sort OF proprietary in
terest in the governor, but be that as it may, the
double column black type and immense Steele car
toons about the peoples governor, via Champa
street have been missing ever since Monday even
ing, although we were told that the message was
to be humdinger Since that fateful time the
prod is very much in evidence in the place where
the gladstone boost wont to appear. Wheth-
the change in heart and hand was based upon
the alleged leaning of the cx-district attorney to-
ward the domicile of paper ON Welton street
that comes ont morning and evening cannot say,
but state house people say things not what
they used to be. and the mats in front OF certain
doors the hill and the business district be-
ing worn considerable by turning the word
welcome will not be staring the wrong party i'll

In the meantime the golf tournament goes
merry on at Hot Springs and the chief and real
prize in the package OF this particular controversy
chases the elusive ball over the green grass and
doesn't seem to be worrying about the possible

should the governor bestow the juicy plum de-
sired upon friend Vivian. certain it is that few

will be well worth waiting for and it is safe
bet that the gentleman OF Swedish lineage is torn
between the desire fatfom the bchests of his
party associates and turning the grindstone for
those who really came to his support when he
needed it, even after the primary election.
The Rowland affair is bad mixup. beyond
that he made brilliant OF himself all the way
through. to put it mildly. II he handed
package OF money he should have at least waited
to count it until he alone. 1t would not have
excited the interest envy OF any of his brother
members. 1t is said the amount handed was
nearer 81 500 than SIS if telephone conversation
anent the amount of his bail bond is to be be-
lievcd. He has told too many conflicting stories
about the affair for any to take him seriously.
He has been mixed up in politics here for many
years and supposed to have been wise to
everything that goes on in such channels. 1t is
possible that the real facts will never come out
