Legislative Notes.
The senate organized yesterday with
out any friction, Joe Simon being elected
on the first ballot according to program,
.In the house the committee on creden
tials got in a wrangle, and when the
house met a- 4 o'clock, it was not ready
to report, nor did it get ready last night.
The matter of the speakership at pres

iogly in favor of Benton. The Republi
cans of tbe senate held a caucus to de
cide pon tbe number of clerka and
their salaries. It was decided to greatly
the state capitol at noon yesterday, and j
each cast his ballot for William McKin

for vice-president of the United States.
The votes were certified, and copies
made in triplicate, one of which was
mailed to the vice-president of the
United States, one will be deposited
with the judge of the United States

sent by special messenger to the United
States.
Hon. T. T. Geer was elected messen

General satisfaction is expressed over

of the ordinance was indefinitely post
poned. Tho ordinance licensing the 'sale of
liquors was then read, and being placed
upon its final passage, the petitioners
appeared by couneel, A. S. Bennett, and
the rernonstrators by If. S. Wilson.
The latter took the position that under
the charter the city council had author
ity only to license bar-rooms, tippling
houses, and drinking shops, and could
not regulate the sale of liquors in drug
stores or anywhere else where it was
sold by the bottle, and not drarik in the
house. He also argued that under the
terms of the license to saloons or drink
ing shops, no minors or women could be
allowed in them, and that the drug
stores, if licensed, would fall under this
prohibition. Judge Bennett presented
tbe other side of tbe case, claiming that
under the charter of 1895 tiie city could
regulate the sale of any commodity.
On going to a vote the council stood four
for and four against, so the ordinance
failed to pass. The recorder was then
on motion instructed to draw up an or
dinance, licensing the eale of liquors by
he bottle or in quantities less than one
gallon, where it was not to be drank in
the place where sold, and fixing tbe
amount at $150 per year.
