HOUSE PASSES IT'S !.
APPROPRIATION BILL.
Measure Was Sent to Senate
After Third Session
Held Yesterday.

CHARLESTON. W. Va. March a.
Holding three sessions yesterday the
West Virginia House Of Delegates
passed its appropriation bill and sent
it over for concurrence by the SEN
ate. The Senate bill covering the
same subject is still in committee.
Both Houses adjourned until 10 O'Clock
Friday morning.
Before passing its bill the House
made several changes IN the prohibi.
ton department items as follWs:
Struck out provision for paying a
second assistant salary OF $500 a
year, reduced the current and conting.
ent expenses to $1,000 from $500.
and struck out $1,000 for conducting
the department from today until June
so, 1917.
An item of $3.50 with which to pay
G. L. Topping for services rendered
during the session Of the Legislature
In 1909, was stricken, as were pro.
visions Of $4,000 a year with which
to complete physical education build.
ing at Msrchall college and a dormi.
tory at Concord Normal.
An amendment was offered to In.
crease from $4,000 to $50 1000 for 1918
and from $4,000 to $49,500 for 1919
for completing and preparing reports
OF the State Geological and Economic
Survey. II was lost by a party vote.
Delegate Hilleary offered an amend.
meut which met with similar fate to
increase the amount from $4,000 "a
year TO $4,000 for maintaining the
military establishment Of the state
as fixed by federal statutes. It is
said by military officials the House
Appropriation will maintain only one
regiment.
Three bills were introduced In the
House. One provides pay for the
Legislators, and the other two provide
for tax on the transportation OF
gas through pipe lines.
The Senate put In most Of the day
waiting on the House to pass the ap.
preparation bill, and adjourned after
receiving it.
More than 20 members of the House
have been given leave Of absence
TO extend to Monday.
Immediately after adjournment Sen.
ate Republicans met in caucus and
went over the House appropriation
bill, but the program OF action was
not made known. 1t is said by some
Senators they will not agree on many
Of the appropriations for buildings
In the House bill. They are willing,
they say, in a general way to give
and take and bring the grand total
down considerably, but not to do SO
through impairing the efficiency Of
state orlces. Republican Senators
point out that the provision in the
House bill for printing, binding and
stationary is only little more than
enough to buy paper aud envelopes
and pay for the legislative printing,
leaving nothing with which to print
reports and blanks.

Passed Away in Minneapolis.

Miss Norma Haugen, the beloved
daughter of X. l. Haugen of this city
passed away last Friday at the home
of her sister, Mrs. j. A. o. Preus, in
Minneapolis, where she had been Wis
iting. She had been i'll for several
weeks. Norma was born June /,
1900 in DEBORAH, and this city has al
ways been her home. She was an IN
usually bright young girl, possessed
of a sweet disposition and was be-
loved by all who knew her, and her
death Is a severe shock to the bereav-
ed father, sisters and brothers, and
they have the sympathy of many
friends in their bereavement. The re-
mains were brought to DEBORAH Sat-
urday night and the funeral services
were held Monday afternoon. Rev.
]. B. Torrison 'officiated at the home
and church, speaking in English and
Rev. Preus spoke in Norwegian. In
terment was in the Norwegian ceme-
terry.

We Second the Motion.

Those who employ help coming I'M
der the provision Of the Iowa COM
peasation act. are beginning 70 find
that the law has decided "kick" to
it in the matter of rates charged by
the companies carrying this class of
insurance. Today our insurance
broker coolly informed us that his
company wanted five times as much
for carrying the same amount of in
surance on our working people. The
amount last year was trifle over
IS. This year it is S25. The state
legislature forced this law upon the
employers and it seems to the writer
that they should have made provi-
sions to prevent such extortion as this.
For one we shall neither vote or work
for another member of the Legislature
unless he pledges himself in black
and white to remedy this matter. We
are not against the compensation Jaw
but we are against extortion of the
kind that is being practiced at the
present time.-Parkersburg Eclipse.

BEN BEAR TO NEW YORK.
Starting Out This Week On His
Eighty-Third Purchasing
Trip.

1t doesn't seem very long ago that
we wrote about Ben Bear leaving for
New York City on his fortieth pur-
chasing trip, but father time has
clicked off some years since then, for
this week Mr.. Bear leaves on his eigh-
ty-third semi-annual trip to the great
clothing markets of New York City to
make his fall and winter purchases.
No doubt he will find the markets
harder than ever to purchase in on &C
count of the war. But his knowledge
of the clothing business, and his wide
acquaintance with the wholesalers in
New York, and the fact that he buys
for cash will enable him to buy as
nearly right as any merchant in the
country.
1t has always been Mr.. Bears poll
cy not to bring a dollars worth of
goods to DEBORAH unless he knows
the qualities are up to standard. His
long years in the business, and close
application has given him an insight
into the clothing business that ena-
bles him to make the proper kind of
purchases and to know. what he is
buying.
Eighty-three trips to New York is
some record, but it has paid, and con-
sequently Mr. Bear has built up one
of the finest retail clothing establish
n ents in the northwest.
Right now the store is selling sum-
mer suits at big reduction, getting
ready for the new fall stock, which
will be arriving in a short time.

III years ago. 1t was dated Saturday
Jan. 4, 1900, and contained a write
up of the death of George Washing

pages of four columns each, and was

relic AID Mr.. Gibson has had it for a
