Representatives for the Past WeekMatters of Public Interest New Bill In. trod or ed Bills That Tiare Passed and Partially Passed A Variet of Inter, estiug Subjects lor the People of the State. The lower houia of the general amenably was full of life Monday from the time it was convened until the minute of adjournment. Representative Hord of Marion county waa responsible for it. Early in the forenoon hia bill providing for tfce protection of non-union laborers was read a second time. A motion ordering it engrossed waa decided lost by Speaker Curtis. There waa an attempt ma-ie to secure the yeas and nays, but it waa not successful. Immediately after dinner Mr. E&rnes, a friend of the meaFure, moved to reconsider the vote. He spoke on the motion saying that he believed it to be a fair, equitable bill in the interest of all kinds of labor. lie continued speaking for no me moments in favor of it, and wus teveral times interrupted by those who were opposed to the measure. Mr. Deery asked him if he could name anybody who demanded the enactment of euch a law. Mr. Barnea replied that the whole people demanded it in the interest of justice and fairness. He then intimated that the bill waa only opposed by those who had been Intimidated and bulldozed by the threats of the representatives of organized labor. Mr. Ader opposed the biil. He believed it to be simply a ridicule of the bi'.l introduced by Mr. Deery for the protection of union laborers acainst employers. It was f gainst the interests of organized labor, he thought. Mr. Barnea interrupted him by asking Low the bill would injure the labor organizations of the ßtate. Mr. Ader answered the question by asking another one and Mr. Barnes accused him of dodging and be??in the question. Mr. McMahan ta ked against tue engrossment of the bill. He tai l it was deeping; the s eep of death and he was not in fnvor of resurrecting it. Mr. I'assaje thought tiie bi I wa a "barren ideality" and a (dtir upon organized labor "It is a ficht." tail hi., "between organized and ca') labor." Mr. Hord secured the recognition of the speaker next, lie act no wedded that tl. bill w3 a a. Lery's bill for the protection of urron !ab'r. But he also insisted that it wit no si id at organized labor as ba l bfi:i state 1, but instead was a measure that uouid provide justice for the non-union as weil as the union laborer. Thornton of Clav county, who represents the coal mining tlenietit of that t-ection of the state, Haid 1 lord's bill was a burlesque and a satire on the bili introduced by Mr. Ppry and that it wa backed up by the corporate powers the state. Mr. Iloni intermixed hiuiat this point aud demanded to know upon what grjuudd he wad fuch BialemeniE. He ir.siate d thnt he had introduced thu measure in a spirit of fairness to ail laborera and that hi.- actions were not intlu enced by any one. much lem the corporations. Mr. l it' pea favored the etwrex.sment of ti e but and Hench of Al en county wa hitteriy ocpc.'ed to it. The debate on the bio was interrupted for a few moments by a hi.l that had, been made a special order for 3 o'clock, but when thii was elir-posed of it was taken up again with renewed vigor. Hord aain ecur-d tin? floor and, rea.ling a section from the cousiitution which Etatel that the generai a?embly cou'd not grant privileges or lmmnnities to one cl&ss that v ere not granted to all, he insited that the biil presented bv Mr. Ieery, providing lcr f-reciat protection to union labor, wij unconstitutional, lie virtua lv acknowledged tliat if hi? own bill passed the law would be rmcjns itutional.but be be ievel that if Mr. IHtryV bill was parsed his rhou d also pa. Mr., Farlow thought Hord's constitutional objections did not amount to a row of pins.'' Kepresentatives Krwin and Johnson of Marion spokt! a?"iint the measure. Passaq; ot Miami county moved the previous question. Mr. Harnes asserted his right to close the debate as the gentleman who made the original niotion. The chair, however, ruled him out of order. The motion of Mr. Passage wt? carried and trie roll upon the engrossment of the bill waa called. When Mr. l rnes' name waa r ached lie arose and eked the chair iMr. Ader was temporarily t, residing' if he wou:d be fermit e l to vote "1" on the question, he request ma ie in a sarcastic manner and brou;i,t lottii remarks from Mr. Ader.

In was pn the bill introduced by Mr. McMullen providing for the continuance of ca-es in the circuit court in which members of the legislature are engag'd as attorneys.

A. R. encampment. The senat was called to order at 11 o'clock Monday morninc by President Nye, and the Kev. Or. W. F. Taylor offered prayer. The committees having returned from their numerous visitations the seats were nearly all lilL-d, those who were unavoidably delaved having asked to be excuasd. There seemed to be a disposition to settle down to business and to accomplish something this week. Senator Maiee asked that the constitutional order of introducing new bil s be suspended and bills read the second time. This wa, consented to, and bills for second reading cure up. Senator Baird called up the bill relating to the posting of notices of pas-en per trains, what is known among thoe familiar with previous legislatures, as the old "blackboard bill" in a new dress. Senator Gifford called up his bi 1 for regulating the jurisdiction of the board of County ctnmia-ioners, and it was recommitted to committee on tees and salaries.

The bill was killed. etiator Chandli's bill regulating the stopping of trains at stations was next up. Senator McLean moved its reference to a committee of one to strike out the emergency clause. Senator Magee sai l that in 183.) the same matter came up and it was found that the state could not regulate the running of trains on roads holding charters granted prior to the adoption of the pre-tnt constitution. The bill was referred back to the judiciary committee, which will investigate the matter. senator Kennedy's bill regulating the election of pucces-ors to county ollicers failed to pass previously because of a lack of a quorum. After some discussion pro and con it was killed. Senator McLean's bill vesting the power of appointing ollicers in the governor was amended to include all metropolitan and state p dice co iimi"sions and to exclude the state librarian, tho custodiun and engineer of the state house. The papsage of the bill as amended was unani i.ous. After the vote was declared Senator McLean thanked tho minority and kissed his hand to the republican members for their courtesy in voting with him. Senator Wray't bill limiting the power of township trustees and vesting it in the hands pf the county commissioners, provoked considerable discussion. It was killed. The senate was called to order at 10 a. m. Tuesday with all but a few of the benators in their p aces. No n inister being present the prayer was omitted and the regular order ot business began. The reading of .the journal was dispensed with and the reports of committees were heard.

There was nothing exciting or sensational in the two houses of the legislature Tuesday and business was disposed of with speed. The most important measure di-posed of in the house was Culiop'a bill requiring tire insurinc companies to pay the full amount of the policy in case of total .oss. The bid had been hard fought by a lobby of prominent insurance men, and a hen it came up on a third reading provoked a long debate. Mr. Cullop spoke for a ha f hour in favor of it. during tho time he took occasion to refer rather bitterly to the lobbyists who had been opposing it. He thought the bid fair, and in justice to the people of the state believed it should pa-s. Sulzer and McMahan spoke in favor of it and Haggard, Behymer and Mainwaring a.'ainst it. The upeech of Mr. Haggard was a very strong, one, but it fui.ed to have the effect desired as the bill pasf ed bv a vote of S to lti. The committee on rights and privileges finally submitted a report yesterday and recommended the passage of Mr. Barnes' lull to prevent racing horses during the winter months. The report was adopted, Mr. Fippen being the only one voting against it. The bill, however, does not go far enough and the chances of it becoming a iaw are exceedingly small. Nothing more will le done now adecting the Boby race track nntil the special committee visits that pface and makes its report. Representative Frwin's bill to prevent corporations from requiring employes to become- members of relief associations would probahlr have passed the house yesterday had not Mr. Krwin ben out of the city. It was reported upon favorably with one amendment This enables employes to become members if they so desire, but prevents corporations from forcing them to do so. Action on the report was postponed until the return of the .author of tho measure. Cuilop'a bid regulating the. liability of common carriers wns also reported back to the house favorably. The bill wag referred to the judiciary committee and is one of the inot important atfecting the railway interests that is before. the house. It makes railroads accepting freight liabli for its safe delivery to its destination, no matter how many transfers may occur between the starting point and destination. The following bills were introduced: Ileaay To legalize certain plats of town property. l)eer Resolution requesting that Fdmond Collin, a colored man, be placed upon the p iy rr ll as an ahtnt doorkeeper. Fit p-n Culled up house resolution providing f r the employment of three more puges and it was tabled. McCalhster Bill to amend the roai laws.

Also to amend the iiraiug- laws. JInrkint To amen 1 the law regulating the publication of reports of the officers of the state prisons. The session of the house Wednesday was devoid of excitement and nothing occurred that particularly interested the spectators. Nevertheless, a great amount of work was gotten rid of. Committee reports were disposed of with a rush and in the fternoon a number of bills were parsed. One of the most important of these was tiie one fathered by Williams of Brown county amending the election law dv doing away with the publication of the ba lot in the newspapers. Mr. Williams made a speech in deiens of it. He thought the present law was unjust te the people, whom he believed in educating by the means of posters and bidboards. There w aa some opposition to the bill bu.t it pasted by a very good majority. The first debate was provoked by reports made on Barnes' bilt providing for toe election by the people ot superinA happy family T'A-as thus with the Johnsons ater Truman IL had be;n rescued from the grave by the use of Dr. Fenner's Kidney and Backache Cure. He writes: " My father died of kidney disease and I inherited it. Had become fo bad that medical treatment ceased to benefit me and I was pive n over to die. One bottle of Dr. Fenner's Kidney and Backache Cure practically curyd me, though I continued it a little longer to be safe. My dig.

tendenta of county poor farms. There waa a minority ' and majority report made on" it The former was against it. Mr. Barnes moved to substitute the majority for the minority report and spoke in favor of the biil. The bill was opposed Dy Sulzer, Radabaugh ( Ader, all of whom strongly insisted that i the election oi the official should be left j where it is with the county commis- j eioners. A majority ot the house was i clearly opposed to the passage of the bill and it was finally killed by a motion of , Mr. Passage to strike out the enacting clause.

A number of bills were reported upon by the committees and permanently disposed of by being indefinite y positioned. Among those were - Duncan's bil for the protection of squirrels, clauser'a bill concerning fishing. Sexton's amending sec. 714 of the revised statutes, McCorkle'a b 11 j amending sec. 220 of the rev eed statutes, ! nd.Hunter's bill amending the law reiat- j ing to prosecuting attorneys. . j The committee on agriculture recommended tne passage ot -nr. nays fin regulating the weighing of wheat; also Mr. .a 1 1 1 1 Blue s bili empowering county commiseioners to employ township engineers. The educational committee made an un favorable report on Mr. Davis bill allowing children in sparsely sett'ed toarnsniDS to attend schoo s in adjoining townships Mr. Davis made a speech against it and the report was laid on the -table. Mr. Farlow's bill amend ing the law re!aing to the carrying of concealed weapons by raising the penalty was read a third time and passed. The committee on labor recommended favorably Representative Wilson's bill providing that after twenty-four hours of continuous service of employes on railroads they should have not lees than eight hours rest before again returning to work. The senate got through a considerable amount of routine buiness Wednesday and disposed of a number of unimportant bills. The only one which provoked any discussion was Senator McKelvey's "drug bill" and that was la d over as a special order for naxt Wednesday. All other matters were of no special importance Senator McManus called up Senator Wishard's bill, which was made a special order for yesterday afternoon. This bill frovides for the purchase and holding of and by the state board of agriculture, not to exceed 240 acres, and to sell any real estate it may own and reinvest the proce-ds in other real estate for the same general objecta. It passed by a vote of 3-3 yeas and 5 navs. Senator Parker called up senate bill No. 14), introduced by Senator Bingham, providing for the release of mortgages. Some discussion arose. Senator Boyd taking the ground that some time for release ehouid be sp cifi -d, while Senator Parker thought it ah right as it was. In the midst of the wrangle which followed Senator Wayne objected to the senate being conduc ed like lawyers trying a court ca?e. The bill was finally passed in its first form. The members of the house perpetrated what they considered a great joke on the journal clerk Thursday morning. It was after prayer and roll call. Mr. Zacharias began the reading' of the journal of the minu es of the previous day. Ye i"y naturally he expected that before he had read a minute someone would move to dispense with the further reading of the reco'd. The motion was made, but much to the surprise of , Zacharias, it was laid upon the table and he was forced to continue reading. When he realized the extent" of the monumental job he had on hand he turned a number of colors. During the reading he was embarrassed in many ways. He has not got a voice that would recommend him as a reading elerk. and there were constant cries of "louder, loiviy," from members in the rear of the room who . were - on to the scheme. He was al owed to read rif teen minutes when a motion to suspend was declared carried by the speaker. Zacharias drew a breath of fresh air and the ; house proceeded to do business. A number of new bills were introduced the firs', thing. Mr. Foster presented a bill providing for the creation of estate board of stationary engin ere; Mr. Hench, an act concerning public offense; Mr. Swope, a bid abo iahing the limit of railway companies on tickets sold; Mr. Smith, an act empowering the county commissioners to employ attorneys br the year; Mr. Ader, requiring railway companies to pay for the construction of highways and crossings over their tracks; Mr. Schräder, authorizing deputy surveyors to perform the duties of county surveyors; Mr. McMullen. to fix venue in certian civil cases; Mr. Haggird, to amend the law concerning the procuring and transporting of natural gaa ; Mr. Bassett, concerning the platting of towns. Mr. Moutoux withdrew bill Xo. .'ILL The senate w a ied through a big pile of 'routine business Thursday, and, just as the week is closing, is getting down to practical work. There is clearly a growing determination to settle down to work and accomplish something The only matter of particular interest was the fees and salaries bill introduced by Senator Moore, aod that was indefinitely postponed. Tht. committee on cities and towns reported that Senator Yail's bid. No. 1M, relating to the abolishmentof the board of trnstees and water works, und Senator Kopelke's bill, Xo. 142. legaliziug the towu of Hobart, pass. The committee on county and township treasurers reported favorably upon Senator Seller's bill, providing certain conditions in the bidding in and sale of lands. Engrossed house biil, Xo. 5Ö, introduced bv Senator McCallbter, concerning donations by county commissioners, had a majority and minority report, the majority favoring indefinite postponement, w hich, after considerable waste of tiaiu and talk, was concurred in. The jndiciary committee reported favorably engro-ed house bill Xn. Ö, introduced by 1U preventative Hench. providing for the punishment of persons bringing stoUn property iut. tuts Btate. Senator Parker's bill. No. 34, concerning public pllenscs and their punishment wns recommended for passage. A number of other comparatively unimportant bills were recommended for passage, and some were recommended postponed. Senate bill No. 12t, by Sena tor Gitford, concerning the property rights of husband and wife, was accompanied by two reports. Mr. Gitford gave reasons why the minority report, recommending passage, should be adopted. , The majority report, recommending postponement, waa adopted by an overwhelming majority. The introduction of new bills was called for. McCntcheon Providing for the enumeration of deaf mutes. - McCutcheon Providing for the incorporation of cities of 50.000 inhabitants. Barnes Providing for the erection of a monument over the grave of ex-Governor Jennings and appropriating . $"00 for the purpose. He aaked that the rules be suspended and the bill pasted.

Tho bill provides that SjOO be appropriated for the erection of a mouatuent over his grave in Charlestown. that three trustees be appointed by the governor, to serve without pay, to take charge of the funds appropriated by the state and whatever else might be contributed by friends of the measure.

Bills on eecond reading were next called and some of the senators called up ' bills, which were passed to the engrossing clerk, recommitted or referred back for i amendment. A motion to adjourn was voted down and further consideration of bills on second reading went on for about half an hour, when a motion to adjourn prevailed. The house jnst beforeadjourning Friday evening had a live r time over Senator Mcliugh'a bill proving to extend the term of all city ollicers in cities not operating under special chartere to four years, making the term just twice as long ai it is at present. The bi:l has been in the bands of the house judiciary committee for several days and was reported back late Irilay afternoon. It wns accompanied by but one report recommending ita passage. When the report was read Mr. Collins of Laporte county, a member of the committee, insisted that there was also a minority report. The gentleman who signed the majority, or only report, insisted that there was not. While thev were on the floor Mr. Cohins wrote out a minority report recommending the indefinite postponement of the bill and had it filed. Mr. Hnggard of Tippecauo spoke against the measure and intimated that it was being pushed in the interest of gentlemen now holding city offices. The author of the bid, Mr. Mcllugh, is the city attorney of Lafayette, and if it became a law his term under its provisions would be extended a most two years. Mr. McMu len favored the majority report and the final passage of the bill, he said, because it would conso idate the elections of the state, something which the people w ere in favor of. A motion to substitute the minority report was lost and the majority report was adopted. The bill, howeverts going to have more trouble and it in extremely doubtful if it is psssed in the house. Those who are opposed to it are lobbying with good effect againat it. Representative. McMullm's bill providing for changing the location of county seats was reported back by the judiciary committee 'ate yesterday afternoon. The committee recommends its passage. For the benefit of the members it was ordered read. The main provisions of it are that when 500 or more leal voters of a county petition the county commissioners to ca.l an election to vote on a proposition to change the county scat, the election mut be ordered. Accompanying the petition though must be a donation to the county of not less than an acre of ground for cuurt house and not less than a half-acre for jail purposes, ti be used in case the change is made. The bill does not app y to counties wherein the court house has cost 3120,000 or; more. The bill is in the interest of Uiplev, Jennings, Jacksm and Elkhart counties. It has brought a larga number of lobbyists from these counties for and against it and there will probably be a hard fight before it is finally disposed of. It was made a special order for Thursday at Kl o'clock, after the report of the committee had been adopted. The committee on railroads made ita first report Triday and found opposition to having its recommendations adopted. Some cf the most important measures yet introduced e'lect the railroad corporations, and from the action ot the house yesterday it it apparent that there) are a larre number of gentlemen in it who are opposed to any legislation against those corporations this session. The first report was on Collins' bill, giving railroad companies the pow. r to exchange preferred steck for common stock when the coma. on stockholders Voted it. The report was favorable, but it was voted down. The committee recommended the ind finite postponement of Xewlin's bill requiring rai road companies to provide separate waiting rooms and water closets for the two sexes at all stations. It was adopted. Representative Baugher's bill to prevent conductors from exacting extra money of persons who failed to purchase tickets was recommended, passed; and Washburn's bid requiring passenger trains to stop at a I stations was killed. The follow ing bills were introduced yesterday : Wilson of Dubois To provide for indexing ot the reo rds of the otlice ot oierk of tue supreme court. Montoux Relating to street improvements at railway crossings Cravens Regulating the maintaining of railway passem er stations. lleaey Resolution requesting the speaker te nnpoint a e mmittee ot three to prepare a dot:liil. Adopted, iltagy, Barnes and UcCorkle were appoiuted. Herd To nay a claim against the state. Meredith To pay a claim against the (date.
