THIRTEEN PERISHED IN TEXAS CYCLONE. IA. of Mfc Confined to Town 1 Was Kntlreljr Destroyed by Flames. Ul, April the Republicans of the house to- ge'hor next Tuesday night and nKi'ce upon a primary bill. Spenkor Hliurt- (off will end the deadlock by throwing the whole matter upon the floor of the house.

Then he will recognize everybody. Democrats nnd Uo- piiblleans alike, and It will be a free-for-all con-test. If Tuesday night's caucus proves a fiasco, tCio speaker Wednesday morning will recognize some member for the purpose of call'iiR up the senate 1)111, which be permitted the house this morning to advance to second read- Ing without reference to committee. There will ue no obstruction to free discussion and the house wIM be iiei-ml'ted to vote when It Is prepared for a vote. No gavel rule, no obscure vision and no parliamentary tricks will be used by the speaker to delay progress.

Under these conditions there Is a good chance for the Democratic Idea of a primary bill to prevail. So far, at least, the lines of the Insurgents have not been broken. Many Qj them have been before the governor, but It remains to be seen later what effect he has had them. The caucus Tuesday nlglu will tell the story. The Insurgents are very likely to take the Daugaerty Mil, redraft It, leaving all Its provisions Intact, and Introducing It as a Republican bill, ask the Democrats to vote for It.

The Democrats say they will accept the Invi.at on. Pnvor Any Bill. "We are In favor of any bill, no matter whose name it Dears, so long as It gives the people what they want," declared Kepresenratlve Hearn, D.emocrat, "and the members on this side of the house will vote for a Republican If 1-t contains the provisions of the bill we "nave drawn. We have been assured that the question will be submlfed to the house Wednesday, provided tne bouse Republicans do not agree. Tuesday night.

If they agree upon a measure the speaker; will, no doubt, give them time to draft the bill for the presentation. The house consisted of the speaker, three Democrats, Hearn, Manny Comerford, and two Republl- 'cans, and Erby, when It met this morning. Laying the foundation for action by the house Wednesday, Speaker Shurtleu recognized Oglesby, who moved that the senate bills passed yesterday be advanced to second reading without reference to any committee. The speaker asked several times whethei tuere was objection. None was raised, and the bills were placed on order of second reaumg anu may now be called upon wnenever the speaker recognizes, a member for that purpose.

This will be done Wednesday unless the Republicans get together before then. Speaker Shurtleff left today for his home In tne northern paVt of the state, COUNCIL PORCEEDINGJ 13 Scrolls Imps Disease-Eyes Affected-Weak, Gould Hardly Walk-Life of Suffering.
