AUDITOR REFUSED TO ISSUE
WARRANT FOR STAMPS.
THE WORK OF FOUR WEEKS
Eighteen Bills lecme Laws During
First Half af Present Session of
the General Assembly.
THE SENATE.
The committee on public printing
returned the bill for the publication
of general acts in one paper in each
county without recommendation.
Friday the senate passed Senator
Gotham's bill providing for the col
lection of attorneys’ fees; Senator
Floyd's bill for a supreme court li
brarian; Senator Smith's bill for a
court of common pleas in Crittenden
county and the house bill (Finley)
for trains to stop at Walnut Ridge.
THE HOUSE.
There was a lively discussion on
Friday over the refusal of Auditor
Moore to issue a warrant for stamps
for the members of the house, as cov
ered in a resolution introduced by
Mr. Miller and adopted several days
previous. This was after the bill
making an appropriation for newspa
pers and stamps had been vetoed by
the governor and had failed to pass
over the veto. Auditor Moore, in re
fusing to issue the warrant, stated
that he was acting or. opinions given
by Senator Clarke and Col. Murphy
when they were attorney general,
that a mere resolution was not suffi
cient, and that an act was required
before money could be drawn from
the state treasury for stamps. The
discussion was precipitated by a mo
tion by Mr. Pindall for the appoint
ment of a committee of three to in
stitute mandamus proceedings against
the auditor, the consideration of
which Mr. DuLaney moved to post
pone indefinitely. The latter w-as de
feated on a close vote, however, and
a motion by Mr. Fuller to defer con
sideration until Monday prevailed.
* * *
A considerable portion of Friday
was spent in the discussion of Senate
bill No. 20 (Thompson), to fix the
grade of railroad crossings. The
house passed the bill several days
previous, fixing the grade at N foot
in five. It was reconsidered, on mo
tion of Mr. McCollum, who offered an
amendment to make the grade one
foot in fifteen. At the same time an
amendment was offered by Mr. Clem
ent to fix the grade at one foot in ton.
This was adopted after the McCollum
amendment was lost. The grade is
that of wagon crossings over tracks
in’Cities.

Speaker Cate announced that Mr.
Sessions, the new member from Scott
county, would serve on the same com
mittees to which Mr. Hough had been
appointed.
The house of representatives has a

E. Sessions, who was Thursday de
clared to have been elected represen
tative from Scott county. Mr. Ses
sions succeeds J. M. Hough, who has
occupied a seat in the house since
the beginning of the session. Mr.
Hough is a republican and was given
a certificate of election by the elec
tion commissioners of Scott county.
Mr. Sessions is a democrat, and when
the vote was first counted it was
found that he had a majority of six
over Mr. Hough. The latter asked
for a recount by the corcmisisoners,
which was had, though it was but a
partial one, it is claimed, whereupon
a majority of thirteen for Mr. Hough
was shown. Mr. Sessions instituted
a contest before the house and the
committee on elections, of which Mr.
I’titterson of Cross county is chair
man. began an investigation. A ma
jority report favoring the seating of
Mr. Sessions, and minority report de
claring for Mr. Hough, were returned.
A resolution by Mr. Yancey to the ef
fect that Mr. Hough be allowed to re
tain his seat and the contest be dis
missed was rejected by a vote of G2
to 23, while another resolution by Mr.
Hunt, declaring the seat of Mr. Hough
vacant and that Mr. Sessions be sworn
in as member from Scott county, was
adopted by a vote of GG to 13. The
oath was administered to the new
member shortly before the house ad
journed.

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drunkard.
A great deal depends on the point of
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
“Fofr many years I w-as a great suf
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that I found I could not lie
down, but walked the floor whilst oth
ers slept. I got so nervous I could not
rest anywhere.
"Specialists told me I must give up
the use of coffee—the main thing that
I always thought gave me some relief.
I consulted our family physician, and
be, being a coffee fiend himself, told
me to pay no attention to their advice.
Coffee had such a charm for me that in
passing a restaurant and getting a
whiff of the fragrance I could not resist
a cup. I felt very lenient towards the
drunkard who could not pass the sa
loon. Friends often urged me to try
Postum, but I turned a deaf ear, say
ing: ‘That may do for people to whom
coffee is harmful, but not for me—cof
fee and I will never part.’
“At last, however, I bought a pack
age of Postum, although I was sure I
could not drink it. I prepared it a3
directed, and served it for breakfast.
Well, bitter as I was against it, I must
say that never before had I tasted a
more delicious cup of coffee! From
that day to this (more than two years)
I have never had a desire for the old
coffee. My health soon returned; the
asthma disappeared, I began to sleep
well and in a short time I gained 2Q
pounds in weight.
“One day I handed my physician the
tablets he had prescribed for me, tell
ing him I had no use for them. He
stayed for dinner. When I passed him
his coffee cup he remarned: ‘I am glad
to see you were sensible enough not to
let yourself be persuaded that coffee
was harmful. This is the best cup of
coffee I ever drank,' he continued; ‘the
trouble is so few people know how to
make good coffee.’ When he got hia
second cup I told him he was drinking
Postum. He was incredulous, but I
convinced him, and now he uses noth
ing but Postum in his home and has
greatly improved in health.” Name
