they want to finish the business of the es-
elon so that they may go home and plow. "
"That was a good campaign talk before
election last fall , " replied Allen ( if Pumas ,
. "and wo all used it moro or less , but it
don't work on this body now. "
The Tacts are that the adjournment will
not delay the business of the session , as
the only business transacted had the legis
lature remained in session would have been
a fruitless vote on senator. Senator Prout
of Gage was of the opinion that the senators
needed a few home-made pUU to give them
* new stimulus for next week. Talbol of
Lancaster suggested that there were ilm-
claes physicians in Lincoln If any of the
senators were sick , but Allen of 1'urnas
thought the senators ought to have a chance
occasionally to visit their constituents and
lecure advice from them , to which Senator
I'rout added that republican members were
never afraid to face their constituents. Busi
ness matters nt home needing attention was
the real reason of the desire ot several sena
tors for an adjournment and they finally
succeeded In securing the favor of the ma
jority. They did not want to leave with
the session going on , an their votes are
needed to keep the fuslonlsts In n minority.
Miller of Buffalo is fast making a record
as one ot the humorous members ot the
body. He hurls popullstlc stump speeches
at the republicans on the south side of tha
senate with a vehemence that affords consid
erable diversion for the majority. Ho op
posed adjournment Friday bccaube he was
not a "light" enough statesman to ride on
tt pass nnd furthermore when ho reached
the end of the railroad he was like Sheridan
on his long ride , "still twenty miles from
home. " So ho has gone on record as a legislator
later without a pass.

than oneo has been recommended for passage -
sago and will bo voted on early next week.
U has been termed by the fuslonlsts as a
bill to beat fusion. They have gone on rec
ord solVJly as opposed to nny bill that would
remove their present advantage of getting
on the ballot three times.
It Is true that the Prout bill Is not satis
factory entirely to all the majority. There
Is a feeling that the best ballot law legisla
tion wpuld be to return to the law repealed
two years ago. It is argued that while It
may be good partisan polities to furnish a
ballot that the elector can vote a straight
ticket by one stroke of the pen , still It Is a
bad thing for "good government. " ns 11 In
duces men to vote for party nlono Instead
of the best and cleanest candidates. Doubt
Is expressed , however , that the present law
tan be changed In the least during this ses
sion. since the fuslonlsts are adverse to giv-
Irg up tlie advanlago of getting three col
umns on the ticket Instead of the ono to
which they would otherwise be entitled ,

I are among the old settlers of this neigh

' .he hog being afflicted with cholera , though
when killed It had all the appearance ot
being In a perfectly healthy condition. The
microscopic examination of the meat , how
