If the attempt to bunt results in a foul not legally caught a strike may be called by the umpire." The change -merely defines the bunt more particularly than before.

Senators Good of Nemaha and Dim err of Seward counties spent Thursday In Omaha. Senator Good Is a candidate for the republican nomination for state treas urer, and Senator Dlmery. so far as is known, will succeed himself In the senate next winter. Senator Oood was a member of the house In the session tft W3. A school teacher by profession and a resident of Teru, the site of the oldest slate nor mal school, It was not strange thnt he was ou. of the ardent champions pf 'educa tional measures, especially those which bore any relation to normal matters. With Representative Gregg of Wayne county, he shared the distinction of "schoolma'rm member." But that did not tend at any stage of the term to depress or suppress e'ther Gregg or Good. At every turn In the road when educational blli were 113 these two members also were up-on their feet and talking, too. Gregg surpassed his colleague from Peru in at least one particular, and that was the Introduction of bills. . For that mat ter It Is not a matter of memory that any other member beat Gregg In this respect. And all but a few hundred of his bills were "school bills." Good only Introduced a trifling numlier of such measures, some thing less than .W. In the. senate, too. Good maintained his record for looking after this sort of legis lation, though not exclusively. In both branches he became a leading member. Senator nimery was one of the young members of the senate last winter and )ne of the most aggressive.
