HOUSE COMMITTEES

SPEAKER ADAMS A?(OlCES ALL HIS APPOINT MEXTS. Important Legislation ..Proposed In Iloth .Houses Resolution Offered for )t a Constitutional Convention. Speaker Adams announced his committees in the lower house of the Legislature yesterday; and in the afternoon several of the committees took in hand some of the numerous bills that have flooded the House In the last two days' session. In the Senate a large number of new measures appeared, and it is probable that the present Legislature will not fall far behind other sessions in disposing of the thousand and one ideas which members wish to incorporate In the law of the State. Bills proposing radical changes In statutes are coming in, and the topics of taxations, railroads and others will appear frequently from now on In the reference to legislative doings. The committees of the House have been well chosen, so It is generally recognized, and the different phases of legislation will be ably handled In the little rooms where the preliminary work is done by the committees. The announcements of the chairmanships caused no surprise, as most of them have been forecast in the last few days. Mr. Allen, a brainy young man of Washington county, is at the head of the important committee on ways and means, and the Speaker expects him to display much ability in the House. Gibson county has an Important chairmanship in the appointment of Mr. Robinson at the head of the committee on judiciary. Mr. Leedy is to preside over the committee on the city of Indianapolis, which Includes all the 'members from this county and gentlemen from Franklin and Allen counties. Mr. Stutesman, of the committee on congressional apportionment, Mr. Merritt of that on corporations, Mr. Melendy on military, affairs, Van Arsdel on fees and salaries, Hamrick on railroads, . McBeth on insurance, Holloway on cities and towns, Newhouse on legislative apportionment are among the others who have obtained impor tant chairmanships.

Mr. Howe, of Morgan, quietly sent up a resolution to the Speaker's desk, and when opened it was found 10 contain a proposi tion for a constitutional convention. He re cited that the constitution under which the State Is now operating ?3 cbsolete, and has long gone out of date, it was constructed in 1852, the first one having been adopted In 181G. Mr. Howe thought that If the people found a need for a new constitution after thirty-six years, when progress was not so rapid as It has been since 1S52, they cer tainly need a new one now, after a lapse of forty-three years, during which the State has been making wonderful strides. Mr. Howe asked for a joint committee to consider the resolution. The measure was one of too much importance for the legislators to take tp and discuss off hand, so it was promptly referred to the committee on judiciary, although Mr. Holloway, of Vanderburg, thought it would be well to make It the special order of business for Thursday morning. There Is me (mention as to ihe procedure in case both houses should pass the resolution. Sone members think it would be necessary to have the Legislature of 1S97 approve the resolution, and then submit It to the people at an election. Mr. Cardwill, of Floyd, also touched upon the constitute in a resolution contemplat

ing a radical change In the manner of electing Senators and Representatives. He would have the Senate composed of sixty members, from twenty Senatoral distnets. Each of these districts would be so arranged that not more than two members from the district would be of the same political party. In this wise the Senate would be composed of forty members of one faith and twenty of the opposite, provided no third party came in for a victory. He would provide for holdovers as under the present law. He has a scale graded according to population for his representatives. For counties under 25.000 he wants a representation of one member, with two representatives for counties over 25,000 and under 50,000; three for counties over 50,000; four for over 75,000; five for over 100.000; si for over 125,000. In all elections, except fr legislators, he would have a secret ballot. In the case of legislators the manner of voting would be left open. Mr. Cardwill said afterwards that his idea in

leaving the manner of voting for legislators open was to make way for machine voting, which he thinks is the coming method. Mr. Leedy caused some little surprise when a resolution he offered was read. He asked that a committee be appointed to lninvestigate Green Smith, to look into the affairs of the State treasury, and to investigate other State officers if found necessary. He wants the committee to have the power to administer oaths, and wants it to make recommendations to the Legislature based on any facts obtained regarding these offices. The judiciary committee will look after the resolution. THE HOUSE ROUTIXE. New Batch of Bills An Inquiry Into Death-Penalty Law. Representative Bohannon, of Warrick, offered prayer in the House yesterday morning in the presence of the ninety-five members who answered the roll call.' The first business was the consideration of the report of Mr. Leedy's committee that had been appointed to consider the wisdom of purchasing a large number of statutes as revised up1 to 1894. The committee thought eight copies of the work, at a sum not to cost more than $16.50 each, would toe sufficient under an administration of economy. There was a prolonged talk on the report, which, according to that rapid calculator and estimate maker from Sullivan, Mr. Higbee, cost the State about $150 in time lost. ' The1 Democrats, who have no idea of economy greater than that evidenced in the extravagant session of 1893, wanted enough copies bought to afford each member one, and several of the Republicans thought it would be wise to make this large purchase. Mr. Robinson, of Gibson, wanted one on each, desk and one for each committee, the books to be afterwards collected by the State Librarian. Mr. Allen showed it would oe extravagant to put books in the hands of several committees that would probably not hold one meeting during the session. Mr. Wiiloughby was another of those who favored economy from the start. He made several strong points. A substitute by Mr. Robinson was lost. A vote to table the report of Mr. Leedy's committee was lost by a vote of 68 to 39, a few Republicans voting with the Democrats. The report of the committee was then concurred in, and the State will only purchase eight copies of the revision. Had the House concluded to purchase one volume for each member, it would have taken $1,600 or more. The remainder of the morning was . taken in the introduction of bills and the consideration of "two measures from the Senate. Mr. Wiiloughby had a resolution unanimously adopted calling for the printing of all "bills submitted, copies to be placed on the desks of members the day following the Introduction of the bills. Down in Shelby county they have prospects of sending one or more prisoners to death for violation of the canon against taking human life, and Representative Harrison has come to the conclusion that perhaps hanging is not the best and most humane way of vindicating the law. His resolution calling upon the judiciary committee to inquire into the death-penalty law and ascertain If there Is not a more humane way of inflicting the penalty, and if such a way would be legal, was carried. Senate bill No. 1 was . passed under a suspension of the rules, and afterwards several members, including the Speaker, regretted their vote because they had not been able to give the matter more thought. The bill legalizes the action o the County Commissioners of Benton in Issuing certain gravel-road "bonds. The bonds were issued at a special session of the board, and it was afterwards found the bonds were thus invalidated. The vote for the passage of the bill was unanimous, but afterwards the Speaker asked to have his vote changed. Senate bill No. 10 provided for terms of court in the Forty-fifth judicial circuit and was referred to a committee. A relic of the last session bobbed up in the shape of a bill which the Governor vetoed, legalizing the Incorporation of Clarksville. The bill came to the Speaker's desk as unfinished business. It was sent to a committee. The Speaker, during the morning, called attention to one of the rules which was not understood by some of the members. It was one to the effect that laying on the table an amendment to a measure did not carry with it the measure itself. The following is a summary of the bills introduced in the House: Willis, of Dekalb To encourage tree culture. Harrlosn, of Elkhart and Kosciusko An amendment to the law regulating the government of towns and cities; a bill relating to water works trustees.

The Senate did a half day's work yester day and then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. An attempt was made to recon sider the action of Monday ordering the purchase of fifty sets of Burns's Revised Statutes for tlje use of members, and eight sets for the use of committees. Senator Shlveley introduced a resolution ordering the purchase of twenty-eight sets, and Senator Kern raised the point of order that the subject had been disposed of yesterday. The point of order was sustained bv Lieutenant Governor Nye and'Senator Shlveley appealed from the decision of the chair. The roll was called and the decision of the Chair was sustained by a vote of 20 to 27. The committee on military affairs made a report recommending the passage of the

t bill appropriating $48,513.09 for. the payment of the Indiana militia for services in the suppression of the srrllces last Rummer, j The rules were suspended k kiwi., the bill

passed by a unanimous vote, me senate also passed the bill appropriating $100,000 to pay the expenses of . the session. The rules were suspended " in the case of two legalizing acts, which were passed for the benefit of the towns of Greenville, Floyd county, and Albany, Delaware county. The former was Introduced by Senator Leyden and the latter by Senator Cranor. A number of memorials were introduced asking the establishment of a State soldiers' home at Lafayette, and were referred to the proper committee. ANOTHER GOOD PAY FOR BILLS. Call of the Roll Bring- Out a Deluge of Prospective Lam. The following bills were introduced yesterday In the Senate: By Senator Alexander Providing for the proof of wills where the- witness does not reside in the county where; the ; will has been offered for probate. By Senator Boyd (by request) To establish a State Veterinary Board, to consist of six members. By Senator Cranor To amend the act fixing the salaries of commisisoners, trustees and assessors; also, a bill fixing the salaries of justices of the peace.By Senator iCrumpacker-r-To protect the cltzens of Indiana against poisons.

By Senator Holler To establish a State veterinary commission. MORE SUPREME COURT JUDGES. Amendment to Constitution Intro- ' duced toy Senator O'Brien. In the Senate, yesterday, Senator O'Brien introduced a joint resolution, providing for an amendment to Section 2, Article 7, of the Constitution. This Is the article which provides that the number of. Supreme judges shall not be less than three nor more than five. The change that Senator O'Brien proposes will make the section read the number of Judges shall not be less than nine nor more than fifteen. This amendment anticipates the expiration of the present Appellate Court in 1897. With the assistance of the Appellate Court the Supreme Court has just about been able to keep pace with the appeals that come to it. The number of cases that go up from the Circuit and Superior Courts 1 of the State is constantly increasing, and once deprived of the assistance of the Appellate Court the Supreme Court will be able to do just about half the business that will demand its attention. The Appellate Court has proved a good thing in its way, but the difficulty with it is that many of. the cases that are passed upon by that tribunal must, ultimately, be tried by the Supreme Court, and the query Is, Why .not take them to the Supreme Court at once and have done with them? SALARV FOR JUSTICES. Senator tranor'i Bill to Relieve the Magistrate's Conscience. Senator Cranor says his bill to provide salaries for justices of the peace, with the provision that all fees shall be paid into the county treasury, is in the interest of common justice, and especially in the interest of those .persons accused of misdemeanors whose guilt is doubtful. Under the present law the remuneration of a justice of the peace who tries an alleged offender for an infraction of the laws depends on a conviction. If the accused is found guilty the justice gets his pay oat of the- costs the defendant pays.- If there 14 ' no conviction there is no fee, and the temptation to get a fee offers a premium for convictions, even where they may be a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused. With the recompese of the justice secured independent of the case In hand, the ' prisoner at the bar would be assured of a fair trial, and the court would be relieved of the struggle between his conscience and his cupidity. PROTECTION AGAINST POISONS. Bill to Regulate and License Clerks Who Fill Prescriptions. , Senator Crumpacker's bill to protect the citizens of the State from poisons contemplates the erection . of .safeguards against the blunders of prescription clerks. It provides that .any person who desires to engage In the compounding of prescriptions shall first secure a license. The diploma of any reputable pharmaceutical institution shall entitle the applicant to a ljcense, but without such a certificate the applicant shall undergo an examination at the hands of a commission. The bill Is not Intended to effect anyone now engaged In the profession to which this bill is intended to apply. - -: iS'- . INSURANCE LEGISLATION. Bill to Compel Companies to Pay Face Value of Policies. . Various Insurance bills were presented yesterday, and from the tenor of them it is evident the people of the State have complaints against the companies. Mr. Hamrick's document makes It unlawful for fire insurance companies to Insert In their contracts or policies that the full value of the property destroyed will not be paid; in brief, it makes he company pay the full value of the policy', where the loss is total. Mr. Bohannon's bill makes the company pay the full value of the policy within sixty days where the loss Is total. For every day over this time payment is delayed the company shall pay a penalty of 1 per cent, on the amount of the policy, this penalty to be collected by a suit at law, the same as in suing for the value of the policy itself. Mr. Davis, of Vigo, introdursed the bill to which reference was made in the Journal several days ago. It prohibits clauses in policies compelling the insured to carry insurance amounting to 80 per cent, of the value of the property, or else become a "coInsurer." as the term Is known in insurance circles. - The bill will allow no suit to enforce this clause to be maintained In court. If a company violates the provision it forfeits its right to do business in the State. Any person knowing of a violation can complain to the Auditor of State, who shall notify the president of the company to appear before him and show cause . why the companv should not be blacklisted. The, Auditor is to have exclusive jutisdictlan. Mr. Finkbinder, also of Vigo, has a. bill relating to outside companies, compelling them to have at least $100,000 in Stat or national bonds, and requiring them to make semi-annual statements showing their condition. . AGAINST DOUBLE TAXATION. J Mr. Newhouse' Bill Exempting RealEstate Mortgage Indebtedness. Plans for relief from double taxation have been discussed in all parts of Indiana, and several measures have already been sent to a committee. Mr. Newhouse-introduced one yesterday which he had submitted to the judges of the Supreme Court individually, and he says that members of that high bench are satisfied the bill is well constructed. He proposes to exempt realestate mortgage indebtedness from taxation. The main feature of the bill does away with the double taxation upon the same valuation. The party giving the mortgage is required to appear before the auditor of the county in which he resides, between April 1 and May 1, and make a sworn statement as to the amount of the mortgage indebtedness, and also the date and page where such mortgage hi recorded. The auditor places the amount in a column prepared for that purpose and deducts the amount from the citizen's taxable property. The bill provides that no exemption can be had when such mortgage notes or credits are owned by parties in any other State. A feature of the bill is that which requires the taxes to be paid upon said mortgage notes or credits in the county in which the mortgage is taken. The owner of the land la held liable for the taxes on such notes, and the treasurer's receipts for such credits shall be a partial payment on the mortgage notes. - To the claim that such a bill would allow the railroads t be practically exempt from

. taxation by Showing heavy- tended indebt- , edness Mr. Newhouse explains , that the

gages, and if these mortgages are held outside the State there would be no exemption. " .. . . TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION. Mr. Nicholson Proposes to Give Power to Revoke Saloon Licenses. The men whom the Speaker appointed on the committee on temperance are men of sound temperance views, but none of them are what are known In common parlance as cranks. Chairman Nicholson, of Howard county, has a bill of his own which he will introduce to-day and which will be referred to his own committee. It will, among other things, seek to correct the flaw In the law by which James Hignight prevented Mayor Denny, of this city, from revoking his license. Mr. Nicholson proposes to give to the courts, including Superior, criminal ana police benches, the power to revoke licenses of saloon keepers where it is shown they have violated the law. As he has the bill prepared, this punishment was to be inflicted upon a conviction for the second offense, but It may be changed to the first offense. A further change may be made giving mayors of cities of certain population the right to revoke upon proof of conviction. Saloons will not be permitted In connection with restaurant or other business, and the blinds must remain down during the hours sales are prohibited. The wine-room system is to be attacked. Mr. Nicholson says he -will oppose any attempt to make a midnight amendment. Another feature of the Nicholson bill will be a step towards township and ward option, not going so far in that direction, however, as Mr. Hunter, of Benton and Warren, proposed. City wards and townships will be given the right to keep out a saloon by a majority-vote remonstrance. ELECTION LAW AMENDMENTS. "Watchers at the Count Preservation of the Ballots. The principal change contemplated In the various election law amendments offered relate to watchers, to be appointed by chairmen of the two principal political parties. Mr. Newhouse's bill contains some qf the ideas of Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State committee on the subject. The chairman also wants all the ballots preserved, instead of the undisputed ones. Mr. Thomas, of Rush, presented a bill yesterday. It only allows three voters in a room at the same time. If the stamp fails to hit a square the mark shall be considered a distinguishing one. No voter shall leave the room with a ballot or stamp, under penalty of arrest. The manner of counting the entire State vote first, which keeps the public in ignorance of general results Until a few days after the election, is still continued. The bill also provides for two watchers, to be appointed by chairmen of the political parties. The bill which Mr. Crozier, of Jefferson, Introduced, gives to the party having the highest number of votes the first column at the next election. SUBURBAN STREET-RAILROAD BILL. Mr. Boardmnn's Bill Would Aid the Broad Ripple Line. It is probable that the Indianapolis members will give considerable attention to all legislation pertaining to street-car companies. Mr. Boardman, of Broad Ripple, yesterday put In the first bill that affects street-egfr traffic in the city. It is a suburban bill, evidently designed to give the Broad Ripple company the right to use the tracks of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, the Circuit Court to fix the compensation In the event the companies cannot agree to it. The bill provides that in cities of over 100,000 street-railroad companies shall allow suburban companies to string trolley or spun wires on their poles and use their tracks when the Common Council passes an ordinance to that effect. The compensation for the use of the tracks or poles shall be ascertained by action by either party In the Circuit Court, and no appeal shall operate to stay th use of the tracks or the poles. The bill does not apply to any. company whose lines extend more than ten miles from the city. This would not give the Greenwood line the benefit of the provision in case the Greenwood company extends its lines to Franklin. Members of the suburban 'companies other than the Broad Ripple are inclined to think such a bill would shut them out of the city in the event lines are brought to thi3 city from Anderson and other places. The bill went to the committee on cities and towns, instead of committee on affairs of city of Indianapolis. , ONLY TWENTY-EIGHT SETS. Revised Statutes Order of Senate to Be Reconsidered This Morning. The Republican Senators held a caucus last evening at the Denison Hotel to secure united action in cases which have any political bearing. The question Involving the purchase of copies of the Revised Statutes took a political turn. All the Democrats favored the purchase of one set for each Senator and eight sets for the use of the committees, fifty-eight sets In all. A majority of the Republicans favored the purchase of a total of twenty-eight sets, but by reason of a defection among the Republicans the Democrats had their way, 'and were much elated thereat. The caucus last night was for the purpose of averting Republican humiliation and Democratic jubilation in the future, and to that end Senator Wishard, chairman of the caucus, appointed a steering committee consisting of Senators Shlveley, Duncan, Newby, Vailes and Boyd. It was further decided to reopen the question of the purchase of sets of the Revised Statutes at the opening of the Senate this morning and to so modify the order as to provide twenty-eight sets instead of fifty-eight. PURE FOOD BILL. Committee Decides to Report It with Favorable Recommendations. - The Senate committee on agriculture got together yesterday afternoon and passed upon two Important measures, both of which will be recommended for passage. One of these is the bill of Senator Ellison, which Is aimed chiefly at oleomargarine. The bill provides heavy penalties for coloring any product to imitate butter or for the adulteration of any food products, unless they are plainly stamped to show their true character. The Ellison bill Is a copy of the Massachusetts law, which has been held constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. Under this bill, if it becomes a law, the sale of oleomargarine will still be legal If it is sold as such, but it cannot be colored, and must be sold as oleomargarine. Last year there were sold in the United States 95,000,000 pounds of oleomargarine under the name of butter. In those States where a law like that of Massachusetts is enforced the traffic has been practically suspended. The other bill, which the committee on agriculture decided to report favorably, was that of Senator Holler, which provides for the appointment of a State food and -dairy commissioner. This bill is in line with'that. of Senator Ellison, the duty of the commissioner being to sek out and prosecute vio-'' lators of the pure food law. He Is to be appointed by the Governor, and is to have a salary of $1,000 and one-tenth of all fines collected through his prosecutions. The State Board of Agriculture is authorized to appoint a deputy commissioner in each congressional district, who is to receive 25 per cent, of the fines collected through his efforts. Anent the Boiler Inspectorship. "Your fellows have made a great noise about retrenchment, but one of you has offered a bill to create the office of boiler Inspector and assistant boiler inspector," said a Democrat, yesterday. "This is your first bid. Is it? Two offices at $2,000 for one and $1,000 for the other, and traveling expenses, means $1,000 a year. What can they do? There are 20,000 boilers in Indianadoes any one suppose that these two men can inspect them ad? The most dangerous boilers are those used with threshing machines will they inspect these?" "Of course, you will vote against the measure," said the Republican. "No, sir; we are disposed to oblige you by helping to enable you to break your pledges.' Revised Statutes State Property. "There has been some misunderstanding as to the purchase of the revised statutes for the Senate." said a member yesterday, These books will not become the property of the Senators, but will be held for the next session. The secretary was Instructed to procure fifty copies of the work for the benefit of the members while the Sonata is in session. Each member must give a receipt for the books and pledge himself to return them at the close of the session. After the Senate has adjourned the books will be deposited In the State library for the use of the next Assembly. Tn secretary will have the stamp of the State IIbrary placed upon the volumes whitU will

show that they are the property of the State. The purchase will amount to about $910." Bowers-Miller Contest. C. W. Stapp, a leading attorney of Lawrenceburg, came up last evening with a supplemental complaint to file In the contest case of Francis M. Miller against Andrew J. Bowers In the joint representative district composed of the counties of Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland. On the face of the returns Bowers was elected by a plurality of seven votes. The supplemental complaint, which w- be filed with the House committee on elections this morning, alleges that in the First precinct of Manchester township. Dearborn county, fourteen paupers were voted, thirteen of whom were Democrats and one a Republican. It is charged tuat of ese fourteen paupers thirteen were residents of precincts other than that In which they voted. "Contests of Science and Skill." There is a bill, handed in by) Mr. Pettit, of Wabash, relating to the organization of voluntary associations. It Is sweeping in its nature, and embraces all sorts of trust companies and corporations. A feature is the section providing for gymnasiums of physical training schools and allowing them to grive "athletic exhibitions and other physical contests of science or skill." It is recalled that the notorious McHugh. bill, which was foisted on the people by the Roby projectors, had a similar clause. Mr. Pettit said last night he did not know the feature was In the bill. Ha Inserted a clause enabling doctors to organize to insure themselves against malpractice sts in the old bill concerning voluntary associations. Clarksville Wants to Be Let Alone. Hon. L. A. Douglass, attorney for Jeffersonville and Clarksville, the oldest town in the State, and Hon. W. E. Reynolds are attending the session of the Legislature. They will urge the members not to revive .the bill killed at the last session by the veto of the Governor, which contemplated for the government of Clarksville a board of three trustees, one to be elected by the people, one by the commissioners of Clark, and one by the commissioners of Floyd county. The people of Clarksville are bitterly opposed to the bill, and the bill was killed before at their solicitation.

.- Defines Fraudulent Marriages. . .It-is a rather severe measure which. Mr. Robinson, of Gibson, has to punish men who compromise women.' He calls fraudulent marriage one where the man marries the woman, fearing an action for seduction or bastardy. In the event the man mistreats the woman or deserts her within two years after such a marriage, she would be able to give evidence of such treatment or abandonment ard the same would prove a fraudulent marriage, the man to be punished by Imprisonment. It Was Green Smith's Grab. Mr. Spitler, of Jasper and Newton, has a plan to take away the temptation which Green Smith had under his eyes in grabbing fees In connection with unexpended school revenues. His bill says school superintendents shall' return to county treasurers In July the unexpended balances over $100 of funds appropriated to them by the State superintendent. There is exempted, however, the balance remaining from local levies, dog and liquor licenses, for tuition purposes. Regulating Telegraph nates. Mr. McCaskey seeks to regulate the telegraph rates in the State. His bill forbids the companies charging more than 20 cents for a message under fifteen words or more than 25 cents for one under twenty words. A rate of no more than a cent - a word Is to be charged for all words In excess of twenty. This will not prevent the companies from making private contracts with the Associated Press and like organizations, j Senate Judiciary Committee Meets. Senator Newby got his committee on judiciary together yesterday afternoon, and a cursory glance was taken at the thirty or forty bills which have been referred to the committees' consideration. A few important bills were passed upon and will be recommended for passage, but none of the more important bills were considered. . To Prevent Blindness. Mr. Beeker, of Tippecanoe, thinks much of the blindness in the world is caused by the neglect of infants during the first few days of their existence. He suggests that the attendant be fined who fails to report within six hours a case where a child under ten days of age is suffering from swollen eyes or inflammation. . , : ' A Blow nf Cigarettes, There will be a tremor over the class of cigarette flendd In the State when they read this morning of the bill of Mr. McCaskey, of Grant. He proposes to prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes in the State. The committee on rights and privileges will consider the matter further. Two Men Draw Prises. v Secretary of the Senate Oglesbee yesterday appointed Frank Gibson, of Fort Wayne, to the position of copying clerk. Assistant Secretary Ennes appointed J. H. Shrode, of Grand View, . Spencer county, to a similar position. Legislative Notes. The House meets this morning at 3 o'clock and the Senate at 10. A bill of Mr. Spitler makes the penalty for delinquent taxes 10 per cent, only on the November settlement, instead of both installments. Mr. Hamrick, of Hendricks, sees the horror of the term "pore house." He Introduced a bill changing the term of county asylums to "County Homes." The Speaker appointed the following pages at the close of the session yesterday morning: Edwin A. Eaton, Ralph Brenneman, Charles Howland, Ray Long and Edward J. Conway. Mr. Crozier sent in a bill Which provides for the election of a waterworks superintendent and the abolition of trustees for water works in towns between 5,000 and 10,000 inhabitants. Among those whom Clerk Brown, of the House, has put on (his staff, are Charles S. Tarlton, of this city, who Is registry clerk; Will Maxedon, of Crawfordsville, and Messrs. Bell, Lambert, Monahan and Daugherty. Acting on the request of a constituent, Mr. Holloway has introduced a bill to require registration and examination of veterinary surgeons.

Mr. Van Arsdel introduced a bill reducing the number of Justices of the peace in townships of over 100,000 inhabitants to three, and putting the justices on a salary of $2,000 a year. Center township, in this county, would be the only one in the State affected. A petition has been prepared by citizens of Madison, asking the Legislature to abolish the water works board of that city. It is claimed the taxation for its maintenance is excessive. The petition will be presented by either Representative Watson or Crozier. Green-e Smith was about the Statehouse yesterday. It Is rumored that he does not relish the proposed Investigation. He asserted that it took half of the fees collected to pay his share of the expenses of the men who- went up and down the Statft hunting delinquents. ' A bill of Mr. Gregg's, of Porter, provides for a change in the procedure of-appeals to the Appellate and Supreme Courts. He asks that it be made unnecessary to have all the parties to one side of a suit made coparties In an appeal, but wants them all to be bound by the appeal Judgment. The bill applies to ' all appeals now in the higher courts. A returned member of the House, who is for a decided fee and salary measure, says that nearly all of the Democrats in both bodies will attempt to defeat all legislation, or else to repeal the constitutional portions of the present law and revise the old and obnoxious law. To him one Democrat said that he believed In "a fee law. and in letting officers get all they could under it." One of Mr. Stakebake's numerous bills compels railroad companies to stop all passenger trains at county seats and makes the- company accepting freight for shipment directly liable for any loss, no matter whether the goods are damaged or lost on some line to which the goods are afterwards consigned by the original companv. Another of his toiils makes it possible to obtain an Injunction on Sundar. WANTED AGENTS. WANTED Agents make $5 daily.

MARYELOUS RESULTS Reported in Cases of Dyspepsia and Indigestion.

Dr. Jennison, In an interesting article oa indigestion and dyspepsia, says: "Ninetenths of the people who apply to me for advice and prescriptions for various ailments I find, on close examination, that their whole trouble arises from poor digestion. They have little appetite, or If they do have an appetite the food they eat does them no good. Why? Because It is but half digested, causing poor blood, weak nerves, sleeplessness, aching bones, pains In the chest, etc. They tell me they believe they have consumption, heart disease, rheumatism, or nervous prostration, when In reality the whole trouble Is in the stomach, and nowhere else. What do I do for such people? I don't feed them on pre-dlgested food like babies, nor "stomach bitters," nor patent, nostrums about which I know nothing. No honorable physician will prescribe a remedy unless he knows what it contains and its probable effects. For all such patients as described above I have but one prescription. It is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I use it with-remarkable success in all cases of Indigestion because I know that it contains the most valuable vegetable essences, fruit salts, the purest aseptic pepsin, free from animal impurities, and bismuth. If I had dyspepsia myself it Is the one thing I should take. When a patient applies to me complaining of dull headaches, bad taste, sour stomach, nervousness, "pains in chest and limbs, I ascribe all these symptoms to poor digestion, and the only prescription I give hini is to tell him to go to the nearest drug store for a 50 cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and to take a tablet before and after each meal, and so great is my confidence in the preparation that if they do not cure I know of nothing that will." All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, or they may be had by mall from the Stuart Co., Chemists, Marshall, Mich. BUSINESS DIRECTORY 1 m T7" T1TH E. C. CO..
