The bill also provide that no rae coarse shall be kept open for mora than sixty consecutive days. The till applies only to the Tioby race track and was known as the Koby bill. Mr. Barnes etated that bill would not abolish the nuisance, bat that it would make it possible for the people of Lake county to abolish it if they desired. Later in the day's fceseion Mr. Barnes offered a resolution 'asking the dissolution of the special committe that had been appointed to investigate liobv, claiming that an investigation was unnecessary siuce the passage of -the bid.

Two reports were submitted from the committee on elections -a rnajority report by Sanitor Wray, lutitituting a bill for the Seller measure providing that the ballots shall be printed In two county papers only, one from e tch of the two political parties. The Wray auhutitute also provided that tbe fee for publishing the ballot shall be one-half the present rate. Senator Baker closed up the debate with a statement that the printing of simple ballots had cost the state $71,000. But Mr. Mazee Buon floored him bv showing that the state dot-s not print sample ballots. They were furnished by the committees. A vote was then taken upon the motion of ijena or Baker to adopt the minority report, which favored the dein? away with the publication of the otlicial ballot. Tbe roll call showed a tie of 17 to 17. Both sides were active to bring in the absent membera. Senators Akin and Cranor were hustling for the opposition, while Senators Mazee, Maurt and McDonald watched the interest of the country prep an t the Australinnelrction law. Freri tent Nveorlored the clerk to call the names cf the absentee, but none responded until th two Mclluhi rushed in to cast thoir vote. These two senators held the fate of the bill in their own hands. Both Mefl elec-t!-nered them a thev entered. "McIIu h of Marion," cal d the clerk. "No," came tt e r-pons.

The vote was .3 for and 11 against. The bill can be cal'ed ud again. It provides that no ene shall be allowed to put ud a prescription except persons registered as phartnaciits. Aaether ditch bi I bv Senator Aiken was considered and passed. It makes some radical changes in the letting of dneli cleaning- contracts. The ditch is to be let entire to the lowest bidder. Under the present law each allotment is let separately. This applies only to slitckos requiring a drcdife to clean the same, and the eovnty survevor is to be the judgu aa what dilciies shall reijnire a dredge. However, the owner of any land aReeted has tho right to take his allotment before the ho'ir of letting. The ever asting "Memenee roek" was atain tha subject ef legislation.

Senators Magee, Kopelke, Yaryan and Porker supported the appropriation. Mr. Barker co n plained that for years the members from northern Indiana had come here to vote for al! sorts of appropriations for institutions in the central and southern part of the state and it was no mora than right that his part of the state should be helped out in draining 500.1 00 acres of land. The bill paired with only three negative TidesChandler, Mclluh (Marion) and Mc-Gr-g r. A bid hy Senator McKelvey requiring corporations, firms and persons engaged in mining coal, ore, quarryin eton or manufacturing of all kinds to pay their employers once a week provoked considerable verbal opposition, but when the roll call wbs rompleted on its final pasrsge only five votes were recorded against it. The following bills pas?ed the senate: Y.j Senator Morrsn - Changing tbe name ef the Indinua insurance Company to ths Fort Warne iniiranre cotupauv, cap.tal stock $210.000.

It vim given two hour' consideration Wi dnen:ay morning when it can e up for indorsement, ami wtp ki led. But it stirred up a irreal fus-i and brought to th cnpiial rounty otliciuls and repreftntiititcH lroin almost every county in tue Mate and nearly all of the-n fought it in the lobby. The lobby Veln-B lay mon ing presented ttie live lest ec.-tiw it has tinc the 1 tk'innine of tht e-??fion. It whs crowded early and swarmed until after the eesion convened and until cf er Mr McMtillen's bill was dmposod of. When the house was called to order it lined the railing in the rear of tho dusks, of the members and tho ai-les on either side. When a young itentleman from the Y. M.

Ay er's Fe the best family medicine, purely vegetable, Every Dose Effective should be removed. The discussion wss opened by Bepresentative Cravens, who offered an amendment to strike out all after tbe worda "rounty seat" in the first section of the bi 1, which would make it apply alike to all the counties of the state. Mr. McMullen ofered a substitute for Mr. Craven's amendment, which changed the provisions relating to the erection of new buildiugs. He was decidedly opposed to the amendment offered by Mr. Cravens, he said, aa it would make the bill not dffferent from bills that had been introduced at every session of the general as.it-in My for years. He was well aware of the lobby against the bill, but believed that if a measure cculd be paeed benefiting one couutv without injuring others it should be passed. He knew that persons in various counties were opposed to the bill because if it became a law it might a ect their property interests if the county seats in their respective counties were removed. But he thought it was not the duty of the legis' ature to take ino consideration such matters, nor was it necessary. Without naming them Mr. McMullen referred to several "worn out county "eats where the grass and weeds grow up in the etreo's." During his remarks he was several times interrupted by questions. He was asked what counties it would benefit. He answered the question by asking if it would injure any county, and then he said it might benetit a number. Mr. Moutonx aske;! if Perry oountv would be at!ectd by the bill. Mr. McMu.len said he understood that it wou d not. Mr. Mor.toux then asked a number of other question. Mr. McMul en's amen Iment provided hat it should require per cent, of the vote cf the rounty to remove the county d-Ht tow ard the geogrsphical center and 57$ per cent, to remove it away from the geographical center. Moutoux thought it shou d require 75 per cent. A number of amendments were otierel to the bill, all of which were lost. Finally Mr. AVilaon of iHibo.B moved to strike out the enucting clause, and the motion carried. Mr. H-ofard, in voting for iho motion, e'ated that he woul 1 like to vote f T somn measure that would give rt lief to some of the count i.e. Fut hi did not tränk the bill preentt d would give the re ief reeded. Thornton's bill providing for clianing the April elections by ho. ding them in November pnssed. Mr. Thornton spoke in favor it. He stated it would eave thw people of the state 54'Xl.OOO very two years. Thero was scarcely auy opposition to it. Senate bill No. 97, introduced by Senator Maree, prohibiting tha eaie of cunrettP8. cigars and tobacco to persons under sixteen years of ape was passed without a dissenting vote. Tbe following, new bills were introduced: Manwarring Appropriating 13ö,C00 for In diana's :iplay at the w rl t's fair. Meredith T smrn 1 ihe law Muting to the incorporation "f cities and towns.

The n alter was brought up at the forenoon sersion by Mr. Fippen, who tiered a resolution calling upon the committee which has the bill, and of which Mr. liench of Allen countv is chairman, to report it back to the hoHe forthwith. Tho resolution came aa a surprise to the friends of the bid, but in an instant a half dozen of them were on their feet to appose it. Their opposition amounted to net bint:, howev r, as the refcomtion was adopted at ones by a viva voce vote. Some expected that Mr. IUnoh would hand in his reports im mediately after the reassembling of the body in the afternoon. But they were mistaken. Mr. llencli announced that be would not be forced to make u report before h. got ready to make it. He is one ot the supporters of the rill, but remained out of the meeting of the democratic members when they caucused on the matter. He has signed a majority report favorinj the passage of ' the bill, with Representatives Johnson and Ilibee, democrats), and Newhouse and Bethel, republicans. A minoritv report has been aiuned by Representatives Harkin, Wil.iams and As-kren of the committee. When the afternoon session convened every member in the houe expected a fight over the bid. It was well known that the republicans would vote with the democratic caucus bolters on everything pertainini to the bill and that with them they would have a majority tocarry almost any motion they would desire to make. Mr. Bodabaugh renewed the trouble by crlerm; a motion that the further consideration of Mr. Fippeu's resolution he po-tponed until 2 o'clock Monday. Mr. Herd, who ia standing by the caucus, moved to lay Mr. Bodabaugh's motion on the table. His motion wss 'oat and Mr. Uodabaagh's motion then prevailed with the assistance ot the republican members. With a view ef forcing a 1 the democrats to place themielvea on record, later in the afternoon Mr. WiUon of Mariou county moved to reconsider the vote by wtuch the Fippen resolution was postponed. Mr. Ilench moved to table the ooti'n. A cad of tue rob was demanded and secured and Mr Hene'a's motion carried by a vote of '0 to 38, showing that with tha aid of the republicans, the democrats favoring the measure would more than lik ly be able to pass it. One nay lant week Mr. McMullen caught the members of the house napping; aud alipped through without the least bit of

sis

trouble a bill taxing notes, bonds, bills, etc. It provided for the taxation of foreign capital loaned within the state. Onlr a few hours previous the house bad ki led a similar bill introduced by Mr. Fippen and bad early in the session killed a dke one from Mr. Monto ix. The b 11 was cal ed od again yesterday and a motion was made to reconsider the vote on its paesage. Mr. Johnson moved the mo ion and then offered an amendment providing that no foreign money ehould be taxed. The two motions called forth a Uoo 1 of oratory from both sides of the hone for and against the measure. The debate was onened by Mr. Fippen. who said the amendment made the bill particularly objectionable and closed by Mr. Ilrown. who insis ed that such a law would be unconstitutional. Messrs. Cullop, McMul. en, Mauwnrine and Ilargard also spoke to the measure, the firet two in its favor, the latter two against iL The motion to reconsider was then put to a vote and lost by a vote of 42 to 42. The following bil s were introduced: Barnes To amend ths tax laws. MoMciiullen Banning the duties of certain courts. tirossart To provide for tha inpection of illumiLating oils aud regulating the sale of them. Wilson of Dubois Relating to tbe issuing- of teachers' crrtifisatts. Msjanity To provide for the election of road aaperviaers. Bain Ig amend the election law. The s nate put in all the day passing bit's Thursday. Only two bills met with serious opposition. Senator Smith's bid containing the iollowing provision was defeated ayes, 13; nays. "'3: That in all notions brought in the circuit or superior spurts in this state for the recovery of damages tor personal injuries the said courts shall bave the power to appoint one or mora repntahls physicn.as and surgeons to make examination ef the plainti'l in suoh action, with the view ef ascertaining the extent of suoh injury, upon the application of the defendant in any such action s lowing that suoh pla nd:f refuses to perm t suoti examination by any physician and surgeon other than that of the p aijti i' own choosing, and such physioiau or physicians so appointed shall have power to make auch examiuation in a proper tuauner. The Barnes bill to raise the age of conpent from twelve to fourteen years passed without much opposition. Senator Kern moved to reconsider the vote, so as to amend it l y raising the age to sixteen rears, and ho was warmly nut ported by Senator Parker. But Senator Ma-ee ra sed the point oi ordtsi that even if reconsidered it could not b amen ie 1 except dv unanimous consent. He said he would never give hi consent to have the bill eo amended and Senator McLean dec ared hims-di its the same way. Senator Kern gave n- ti e th it be would introduce a bill to amend this bill to ac to raieu the age of content to lö years.

Mr. Deery'e objection was a Very wise and good one, but several other gentlemen were excused from attendance today aller it had been made. By the united efforts of Representatives Bnrnes, Heacy and McC orkle a dog bill was presented to the house Friday that pasted without strong opposition.

The judiciary conmittee reporte i against the Magee bill to amend the Grubhe libel law. Senators Magee and Mctiregor made a good fight against killing the bill, but nearly all the lawyers were on ttie other aide, and by a viva voce vote the bill which the den. o.Tat.c editorial association prepared, was indefinitely post-' poned. The committee reported favorably upon the bill to amend the criminal libel iaw as a sort of sop to the editors. It lo-k two hours to kill Senator Kopelk-'s bill to increase the salaries of the otlicers of Lke county. It required the exhaustion oi considerable energy to dispose of it.

whack at the newspaper men yesterday morning. In that body there are twentysix lawyers and two newspaper menMcDonald and McManaua. Ttie judiciary coo mittee took advantage cf their absence on account of the pri-on investigation to report Senator Magee.' bill to amend the (Jrubbs libel law. The committee being composed entirely of lawyers, of course mada a unan mona renort to indefinitely potpone the bill, which was drafted by the democratic editor. al association and introduced by Senaior Msgee at the request of the a-eoc.at:on. ith the exception of Senators Magee and Me (jreifor tbe lawyers were all opposed to granting the eiitors ttie relief they ask for. This is but na'ural. Ihe Grubba libel law was placed upon the statute book for the purpose of increasing the revenues of tbe lawyers. Under this law newspaper publisher have len bUckmaiied repeatedly by lawyers who induce disreputable persons to sue the papers for having exposed thtrn. Tneee lawyers aa a rule take these ra ea upon contingent fees, that is they divide up if they recover anything. In most instances the editor realix s that it is cheaper to compromise than to go in court, and the compromise usually ends by the editor paying enough to satisfy tha appetite of tbe lawyer, and the "client" eis a few lines of retraciioa for hin trouble. There baeu't been a case perhaps where an editor has actually paid a dol ar to satisfy a judgment of this kind, which shows that the law was never intended to protect the public Under the Grubbs law, if a reporter makes aa uiiinteiitumal statement which reflects upon nome one, the publisher is responsible for it, and no matter bow much he retracts and explaios the error that does not relieve him. The party whose character has beeo indirectly touched may be satisfied with the explanation, bat some curbetooe lawyer will go to him and induce him to seek damages, agreeing to pay a I costs of the suit. Than a compromise is effected between the lawyer and the publisher by which the latter pays the court fe-s, including the lawyer's share, and the plaintiff g-td vindication." The amendment proposed did not change the law of liabdity but it made it possib'e for the publ. eher to introduce in evidence the retraction if made at the proper time. Ttiia was denied the editors by the senate. It is a notorious fact that there are shark lawyers who n an the columns of the re sponsible papers every day to di-cover any articles which thev consi ler libelous. It is to stop this kind of pract ce that the editors un. ted in formu a ing an amendment to the (Irnbba iaw. The committee on fees and palariss reported back Senator Kopelke's bill to amend the fee and salary act of 1 S'.l as lur as it relates to Balte county, with recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. Senator Kopelke fought the report and r?bow d that with the increase of population in Lake county the oliicers could not transact the busines; the salary provided would not pay the clerk here. Senator Hobson thoutdit so r.ethinjf ouht V be done now, ami Senater Newby b-lieved tho law of 18'U ought to be given a fair trial. The p&-tageof this bill would throw down the bars and de-troy the bill. Ha l h to-en in the senate two years ago he would have voted against it. The iaw, however, ehould be al owed a tritiL He boiieved the proper ih.ng to do was to return to the fe- s stem with a provision agait.st constructive fee. But that ehould be deferred tid the next legislature. His constituents wanted the law to etand at hast for the preent. Senator Faker ridicu ed the idea that the enactment of this bill would throw down the bars and ruin the systou. of 1SJ1. The recorder of his own county (Grant) couid not receive su'licieut sa ary under the new law to pay tho f.ur cierss now employed to place the deeds and mortgages on record. The fee and salsry bill of lS'Jl was not just to the natural gas belt, where towns had sprung up in every township. Senator Ysrvan eai i that when the bill pasied two vears ago he told them what would happen. It would satisfy none. Specifio salaries for each county would not succeed. The feeevtdem ws the only just system. He W"til 1 take three excountv clerks and in four hours they Would drait a reasonable bl 1. The oid fee bill was objectionable because there was nothing in it prohibiting the taxing ol ton-tructive fees. Senator Mciluhof Marion did not want the law changed. It was agod law. Befcreitt eurctment the oilicerb of Marion county wou.d retire with $40.!.M) to JiMiKK) of the people' money ia their poi k'ds. He knew that it was a popular thing with the politicians to attack this law, and the nafeet way to be returned to the legislature w as to give the county o Ihrerwhat thev wanted. Fut that would not deter him frm do.n? his duty. He was opposed to the Kopelke bid or any other bid changing th present taw. Senator G.linan wanted to do the fair thing to both tbe county ollices and the people. He did i.ot believe this could be done by pstcning up the act f l&.H. It dealt go; injustice. It vi' the duly of this legis a tire to provide fair co opensation i.o salary so large that it would influence men to use corrupt means to obtain offices. Senator Holland reviewed the history of the act of lS'.il and dissected the ealarv feature to show that if the bill had been just it would have been applieable to the oliicers theu in odice. This alone waa an admission that toe law was unjtiot. lie sp ke in favor of a general revision, but did not think it would be fair to give Bake county re ief and Ut the other counties remsin unchanged. hen -enator Kone ke's bid had bon killed t hftiruian Sei er of the fees ai-1 sularies committee reported senator Gilman's fee and sslary bid adversely. No opposition was made to its indefinite postponement. Then Mr. Seller reported back favorablv Senator Aiken's bill limiting the time of the county asieotors as follows: In counties nn ier 15,.. 0 population to thirty dap; 1.003 to 39.100 population, sixty days; 30.MK to oO.iOO popiiiat on, ninety days; .MOO to 75," 00 popu at on, K'd daya. User 75,tOO population 150 daya. Senator Magee made a tenacious fiffht against adopting the report of the committee and moved to reject the report. ilia county (Cass) belonged to th cia-s limited to nine'V das, yet the aaesaor ot that county was employed the who.e rear and was paid S J0 f-r his services. It was the best investment the county had ever made. He had been instrumental ia placing upon the tax duplicates over $ lU.lKX) and the taxpayers deaired to keep him at workevervdav if pons.bhj. It was impossible to limit the time according to population. It might do iu purely agricultural counties. The ti ie ehould be left io the county commissioners. He wuk optosed to the fee and ea arv act nf lS'Jl jufitas he was opposed to this bill, becau-e it atten-.pted to grde tiie compensation according to population. Mr Sei er wanted a linn;. He did not say th bill reporied by bi n was graded right, but it could be amended by the senate on the second reading. Senator Newny could find no law giving the county coinniieioner any powr over the county esssfsor, except to limit the time of the deputies appointed bv tbe a.aes-or. He believed the assessor should De limited. Senator McLean paid Vigo would come nnder the 120 dav class, atid that would deprive the county assessor of doing good work. The as-essor of Vigo had brought ten times hia salary into the county treasury by unearthing unasseseed , property, lie wanted no limit. The ra
