Meinlwrg Are Sore.
There was a division of opinion
yesterday in tha house as to whether
It should adjourn until Monday
morning or hold a session today, but
a, vote in favor of the latter prevailed.
When Speaker Rusk called the body
to order this morning, the roll-call
disclosed that there were needed
three more members to make a quor
um for the transaction of business.
As is characteristio of that body,
there were a half dozen members on
the floor at the same time with mo
tions, extending from adjournment
to one Instructing the sergeant-at-arms
to bring in the absent mem
bers. After each had had his say on
thei subject, and there was a whole
lot of saying, and not much said, it
finally dawned upon some one that
the proper proceedure was a call of
the house. After that a motion was
made that the sergeant-at-arms be
authorized to -arrest the absent mem
bers and bring them before the body.
The membmrs present were anxious to
get down to work ,and speeches were
made condemning the absent mem
bers for their action, some of the
speakers declaring that this action
was a graft which nad been practiced
on the legislature for years, and to
which a halt should be called.
Must Tay a Fine.
Sergeant-at-Arms Ely was In
structed to appoint an assistant, given
the names of the absentees and in
structed to go to Portland, if neces-
sary, and bring the absent members
back. He appointed Willard Wirtz
as his assistant, and both left on the
forenoon train for the City of Roses.
They will return this evening with
tha members, and bring them before
the house Monday.
After Instructing the sergeant-at-arms,
the house passed a resolution
that the members absenting them
selves should be made to pay a fine of
$5 each upon being brought before
the house. An adjournment was then
taken, until Monday at 10 o'ciock.

The Coos Bay Ashore.
San Pedro, Cal., Jan. 28. A'
report has been received here
that the steamer Coos Bay lost
her rudder, and was driven
ashore at Ventura this morning.
A request that tugs be sent to

been received here.

is In wild disorder, and Fred Mesme,
proprietor of the Model Moving. thea
ter, and owner of "Nina," is facing a
suit for $75 damages, all because the
monkey escaped from the theater last
night and sampled the Stancheff
wares.
The Simian first made an onslaught
upon the chewing tobacco. From the
appearance of the store, the monkey
liked the weed immensely. Then can
dies, cigarettes, oranges, nuts and
other things contributed to her vor
acious appetite.
When the store was opened this
morning the monkey was found re
cumbent with her hawser doubled
hard against her body near the re
gion of her gastronomical organs.
The monkey was locked up, and Mes
me notified that he could have his pet
upon the payment of damages. He
refused, and suit wag filed.
