Got All Mixed Up.
The discussion on the resolution
urging the next legislature to make an
appropriation to finish and equip the
state institution for feeble minded,
which is now only partially finished,
created much merriment. 1t came
toward the close of the session when
the women were tired by strenuous
work and some found their tongues
twisted, parliamentary rules were mix
