March 3.—Numerous i imperhrtit measures wore litiudlod by both houses of the legislature Tuesday. i The senate enacted the following important measures into laws, having already passed the house: Labor arbitration bill: special verdict bill; anticigarotte bill; budding and loan bill; general pharm.ie? bill. If also passed a number of minor house bills and defeated the house measure to reduce the terms of city officers two years. The house passed* the antiquart shop bill and the general medical bill, both i originating in the house. It passed the Indianapolis street railroad bills and I Jones colored school bill and a number I of bills asked for by the miners of the state. It also passed the following i measures: Providing for the formation ' of farmer.-' mutual live stock insurance companies; licensing of mine bosses, holsters and engineers; fixing Jan. 1 as i the time for county treasurers to take i their office; t equirlng a rigid system of , disinfection ’fears and stockyards; enI abling the city of £inunnnd to con--1 demn land for harbor purposes and to issue bonds <o supplement the work of the government- in converting Wolf lake into a h trbor. , Indianapot.is, March 4. —There was a riotous air about the legislature on Wednesday and the senate came pretty near being the scene of serious trouble while the caucus measure repealing the apportionment of 1885 was being passed. Senators Sweeney and Alexander ■ Democrats) demanded the Tight to be heard after the lit tenant governor had closed the. debate, and that officer threatened to come down ami put them in their seats himself. It all end ’d in loud words and there was no bloodshed. The house defeated the street railroad ; 3-cent fare bill. It passed the Fort Wayne charter biil. the bill reorganize ing the boards of rhe benevolent" insti- ! lotions, the bill legalizing the work of polltakers grid a bill making minor amendments to the election law. all caucus measures; killed a caucus meas-1 ure to extend the terms of the Dearborn county .commissioners ami passed the; following bills: Doing away with at- I tachment proceedings in garnishment' cases; enabling street railroad companies to own real estate; enlarging the i jurisdiction of the Lake-Laporte superior court; authorizing the K. of P. to organize a building association to construct a Castle hull; permitting surety companies to be accepted in lieu of free hold surety; regulating the business of assessment insurance companies; regulating the allowance of claims by county commissioners; authorizing the governor to appoint a commission to revise the judicial districts of the state. Indianapolis, March s.—The senate worked all day Thursday on the appropriation bill and did not more than get through with the state departments. It

I adopted tlio joint resolution condemning ‘‘The Story of Liberty” and killed an effort-to pull the a'ltquart shop bill I out of the temperance committee by referring the resolution demanding a i report to the saniocommittce. The house concurred in the amend- | moots of the senate to tho building and loan bill and it now goes to the gover-I-nor. It plis<ed throe insurance bills. I ono declaring tho "board plan" unlawI ful, another permitting homo stock J companies to do a cyclone business and hold real estate for live years, and tho other providing for t.ho organization of mutuals in various linos of business. It is doubtful whether any of these will be reached by the senate in time to pass them. A senate bill repealing tho law prohibiting aliens from holding laud in the stiite more than five years was defeated in the house. The satiate bill giving county treasurers six per cent of t-heir deanq ent tax collo dions and the one providing that each townshin must take care of its own poor, were passed. The house defeated by a vote of 17 to to 60 the .bill permitting a company with but SIO,OOO to go into business of life insurance by depositing premiums | with the auditor of state and then I passed the following: Bill drawn by the | state tioard of charity with the purpose., of each county taking care of its own ' poor; giving county treasurers six per cent of the delenquent taxes collected; concerning the dispocion of real estate in voluntary assignments; to prevent fraudulent nreferences in assignments. Indianal’i ' is, March 6.—On Friday the senate passed the Nicholson antiquartshop bill ami it will become a law. It worked the rest of the day upon the appropriation bill and added a number of increases for the benevolent institutions. The house defeated the bill providing for the leases of railroads, the bill to encourage forestry and the bill to give clerks and sheriffs a per diem, the latter beingcrowd ;d out of existence bv an early adjournment. It passed.the 7 per cent usury bill originating in the house and the 1011, wing setfate bills: Fixing the fees of constables; requiring railroads to use interlocking switches; legalizing settlem -nts made by county treasurers under the law of 1879; requiring the owner of land to assist in the construction of partition fences; to defray the expenses of the Green river commission. Indianapolis, March B.—On Saturday much p< oiling legislation was completed, particularly in the senate where a number of measures of importance were pending. This bouy completed its consider.itK .r of the appropriation bill and passed it at noon. The changes made by the senate were various, raising appropriations in some instances and reducing them in others. The net increase was slightly over $30,000. The house declined to concur and the- bill went into the hands of a conference committee composed of Messrs. Smith, , Harris and Swope, in the house, and Senators Mull, Hogate and Bobilya. All these gentlemen were members of the joint committee that prepared the bill. Their report therefore is almost directly in line with the bill as it was originally introduced in the house. Where one house made a change m the 1 bill and the other failed to agree the change went out and as scarcely any of the house amendments were agreed to in the senate and none of the senate amendments were agreed to by the house this was a comparatively easy matter The result is that the committee will report to both houses today a bill that varies but little from the measure as it was introduced. The senate passed the bill abolishing the contract labor system in prisons; the compulsory educational bill, which ' requires all children under the ages of 8 and 11 to have 12 week's schooling, each year at either public or private school's; the bill to establish a system for the organization and regulations of ' life ass-ftsment insurance companies; : providing tor the government of class ' or trade mutual insurance companies; j allowing home stock companies to do a . cyclone business; providing for the im- j peaehmeut of state and county officers; i providing for the consolidation of re- I ligious and benevolent societies; apply- 1 ing the Barrett bond system to parK as- 1 sessments; permitting the citv of Ham- 1 mond to issue bonds and condemn a a right-of-way to connect Lake Michigan with Wolf lake; requiring mine owners to file with tho state mine inspector an- . nuahy maps of their mines. . The house passed another important , measure of prison reform, the Holler in- " determinate sentence bill, which makes 1 the term of imprisonment depend ( largely upon the conduct of the prison- . er. The last of the caucus measures, restoring lo the governor the, right to ! appoint the prison directors was passed. 1 The house also passed the following minor senate bills: Two prevent the sale of township property without due noticejamendingthelaw concerning vol- ' untary assignments; two minor amend- ' meats to the drainage laws; providing ; for a probate commissioner in counties . of more than 30.000 voting population. , Indianapolis, March 9.—The general i assembly adjourned sine die Monday night. It a-ted upon t iree veto messages from the governor during the day. One of th-so was on the general pharmacy bill and the vet > was sustained in ( in the house where the measure originated. The other two vetoed bills were senate bills and the senate sustained , both of them. One was the bill to legalize the settlement with county , treasurers and another the measure to permit suit to break a will without giving bond. The report of the conference committee on the appropriation bill was adopted by both houses. As the bill goes to the governor it is about SI,OOO less than it was when it was first introduced, . Gave the Speaker a Clock. Indianapolis, March 9.—Members of the house Monday presented Speaker Pettit with a handsome clock in onyx and gold. Mr. Shideler made the presentation in a very neat and feeling speech. The sneaker returned his thanks with much feeling, lie said, there had been moments when he had no doubt members of the house had felt that the chair was wrong ami unfair and he did not question but that he Jiad frequently erred. But he had endeay>-' ored to be fair and conscientious in hQs rulings, He thanked the members for'' the consideration with which ho had been treated. Later in the day Mr. Swope offered a resolution extending the thanks of the members of the house to the speaker for the eminent fairness of his rulings and his ability in facilitating business. The resolutions were adopted unanimously. Speaker Pettit returned his appreciation of the comnliI tnent. ■

i Rattleax For Smith of Allen. Indianapolis, March 9,—Mr. East turned up in the Monday with a big now battleax, to bo presented Represontative Smith of Allen county, whoso frequent motions to strikeout tho enacting clauses of bills caused him to be named ‘‘the lord high ekecution- « " I* was unanimously agreed that Mr. Roots, whose insurance bills frequently suffered decapitatation at the hands of Smith, should be made a committee of one to make the presentation. He did it in a remarkably neat speech, in which he intimated that the proper thing for him to do was to decapitate Smith, but ho was willing to bury the hatchet. Governor Mount Qoinplliuenta tho House. IndiafflfeoLis, March 9.—Tho governor paid a high tribute to the house of representatives Monday by sending to it tho following communication: Indianapolis, March, 8.

Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping vour stomach to work as well as his.
