Two years ago it took six days to reach a} compromise on the appropriation bills, and now, with the Houses dif- fering politically, it may take much longer to effect a compromise The election bill which has been reported from the Senate committee retains the Recorder of Voters, who vests him with the right of appoint | ment of judges and clerks of election {but gives to the Circuit Court the {right of coniirmation. | The House leaders declare they | will never consent to the provisions | bable not be} jof the bill, so itis quite pro |that jamended at this session. | The State Bank inspection law | passed the Senate only by the earn- lest effort of Senator Bal! ard.

Some thiok rustlers committed the crime in revenge for evidence against them furnished by the woman, Persons passing the ranch Satur day found the body and reported the matter today. The coroner found $60 on the woman’s person, which is regarded as certain evi- dence that the crime was not com mitted’by tramps as at first suppose; ‘ed. Her struggle for life had been a | hard one. The bedding and cloth ing of the womau were torn and scattered about the building. Her shoes had eyidently been removed, probably by herself prepoia to going to bed, when suprised by the ynehers. The woman had evident been assaulted before she was strung up and everything points towards a premeditated plaa for the consum- mation ef the dastardly deed. No warrants have yet been made but a meeting of the best citizens of the neighborhood was held yester- day and it was decided prompt! measures should be taken, it is expected that another and pos. sibly several hangings take place before long. Several persons are under suspicion and these par‘- ies will be taken and compelled to coufess.
