O T. J. Ramsey, a drummer for a O
0 Springfield, Mo., wholesale gro- O
0 eery house, walked 40 miles and Q
0 forded a river in hla sleep. At O
Corning Mr. Rmmnoy, wlf» gM o
party of pleasure seekers em- O
barked on a small boat to drift O
down Black river, to Pocahontas. O
to flsh and hunt. At tho end of 0
the first day*a journey they camp- O
ed on the weet aide of the river, O
about four mllea from Reyno. O
Home time during tho day Mr. O
Ramsay told one of the party that O
he felt too hot. About 7 o’clock O
he told his friends he waa feeling O
all right, and for them to go to O
bed. When they awoke Mr. Ranv- O
aey could not be found. Mrs. Ram- O

but found no trace of him. 8her- O
Iff Jackson waa summoned to Rey- O

But three bllle, and one or th#<* a
local pension measure, were passed by
the lower house Friday in .ming. The
time of the session waa taken up In
filibustering against tha bill to create
the new county of Phil Cook.
The introduction ot a bill, which
passed, to appropriate 17,600 for a
new hospital nt the Confederate Sol- 1
dlers' home, brought out a petition
which attacked the management of the -
home, and which caused heated de- u
bate. The text of the petition Is found r
In another column.
When the resolution to set the senate *
bill creating tho new county of Phil •»
Cook for a special order on next Tues
day was read Friday morning, It was
the signal for turbulent debate from
the opponent* of the bill, and a system*
of filibustering tactics ensued, which J
continued for hours.
So sooner had the resolution been
read than a dozen members were on
the floor. A motion for tho previous
question was failed. .Mr. Hall, of Bibb, »
moved to table that part of the resolu- ;
tlon relating to I’hll Cook county, stat- J
Ing In anawer to a question that he wemi
not filibustering, but trying to sav#
the valuable time ot tho house. His i
motion was lost.
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, opened »
the Kilim >>f d«*lnv by culling for the'
ayes and nays on the call to sustain the
previous question. This, with three-
mlnuto speeches of every member of
tho opposition consumed nn hour. The
report of the committee on the question •
of ths adoption of tho resolution
brought another call for tho vote by
roll call and another hour's delay, it
was freely stated on the floor that the
opi>nnents of the measure were making
nn effort to tire out Its supporters and
prevent the hearing of the bill nt the
present session. The fight f.<r delay
extended until fnr Into the semtion. .
A call f.•! the <-f the rule?
