I ftHlenUy Afternoon Sen*Ion.
II P . No. '.to, which was sent back-
to the House to be engrossed was re-
turned to the council and passed by
that body the first thing yesterday
afternoon. The bill appropriates s'.,-
for the pay of officers and employ-
ees of the legislature.
c. lb No. Irelating to the location
of a normal school at Alva, was read
the second time by title anil referred
to the committee on education. Mr.
n. on behalf of Mr. Marum,
who was temporarily absent, that the
bill be referred to the committee on
public land: . and in denying the re*;
quest. the presiding otiicer laid down ■
tne rule that upon the reading of a j
bill he should insist on the prerogative !
of naming the committee to which itj
should be referred, but if a special
eommittci be desired a motion to that
effect may be made.
Mr Johnston, of Noble, called at-,
tention to the poor ventilation of the!
cjuncil room, which also came in for a ,
roa ' ng by the presiding officer \*ho

was then taken up This is the bill re-
I quiring the payment of a'ltaxe, in j

1 judge as a lawyer A rather heated
' debate took pla< e between Ma> of Kay
i .iml Doyle of Noble, May having in
j hiiniatcd that the lav as it now stands
simply made the qualification of be
ing a lawyer necessary but said noth-
ing about being honest, or sober This
seemed to indicate that Mr May
thought all lawyers were drunkards
or dishonest and Mr Doyle rcseuted
such un imputation. Both he and Mr.
I Jose argued that the jurisdiction of
the court being now in civil cases CI,-
nun. and all misdemeanors in criminal
cases, it required a lawyer to under
stand the law m the case, though
other men could judge of the facts
presented just as well. The bill was
recommended lo pass.
House bill No. ;by Mr Wilson
was taken up for consideration for a
time and laid over to a futuie time
It provides that any man who draws
public salary and owes the county any
taxes, or there is a judgment against
hiin for any public money, one-half of
such salary or monies coming to such
a persou shall be appropriated to the
payment of such taxes or judgments.
Mill No. ••'>, by Barnes, provides that
where roads are cut on the half sec
i tion lines, the petitioners shall have
right to make a road not more than
; I* feet and less than i:. It was ar-
i gued by Mr. Doyle that the maximum
[ for such roads should be 0(1 feet tocou-
i form to the section line roads, provided
for by the I nited States statutes. The
j provision of not more than feet anil
