Made a Good Selection
Professor M. 8. [Ihising, who for
a long time has been the head of the
Colorado Bchool of mines, has been
committee on rules last week, and un-
til they have been adopted no bill can
be introduced, except by unanimous
consent, and that is seldom given.
Among the most important amend-
ments which the House has already |
added to the rules is that giving the
committee on Coinage and the com-
mittee on Banking and Currency the
same privilege that the committee on |
Appropriations and that on Ways |
and Means have had-—that of report- |
ing bills at any time. During the de-|
bate ex-Speader Reed has continuously
sought to make discord among the
Democrats, but up to this time he has
succeeded in doing nothing except
making an exhibit of himself. While
the Democrats have differences among
themselves as to some of the rules re-
ported, they are able to settle them,
and will settle them without Reed's
interference,
There is very little talk now sbout
the extra session being a short one.
Tnere is so much to be done that near-
ly all the members have about come to
the conclusion that it is better to stay
through the fall than to be compelled
to stay here through the entire sum-
mer next year. Something has got to
be done to increase the revenues of the
Government, in order to avoid a big
deficit at the end of the present fiscal
year, and it is likely that after the
repeal bill is disposed of President
Cleveland will have some reccommen-
dation to make on the subject. It is

Dressing up the Pike,
The work of giving the pike a top
dressing of crushed stone is still going
on. Teams and stone pounders are
busy right along on the job. The stone
is soft sand stone which will soon be
ground into sand by the driving done
over it. Pity it is not lime stone which
is so abundant around here, it would
have been far more lasting than the
sandstone. The stone crusher, down
the road, is still busy crushing up the
stone fence along Dinge's fleld, and
keeps three toams busy hauling away
the crushed stone,

him and others of similar loose mor

although a man of family, has been
running after and devoting his atten-

his wife and disrepute of the neighbor-
hood. On that night he was caught
at the home of his inamorata, taken
out, his long bushy whiskers partly
shaved off] tried, condemped to death,
and a rope put around his heck for ex-
ecution. Like all cowardly transgres-
sors he begged piteously for mercy,
which was granted, on condition that
he turns over a new leaf, which prom-
ise he had better never shirk.
