The house refused to concur in the
amendments to II. Its. 11 and 4'J, re-
lating to revenues
C. II. 'jr 5, relating to mortgages, was
referred, a* was C. It. 170, relating to
exemptions.
St. John introduced a resolution re-
lating to night sessions and holding
one every night during the balance of
the session.
The resolution was passed without a
dissenting voice.
C. It. 1, relating to the regulation of
fees and salaries of county officers, the j
clerk of the district court, justices of |
the peace, constables und witnesses,
was next taken up.
It was made a special order for 7:30
tonight
The house took up for consideration
('. It. 115, an act to authori/.e towns
and cities to issus bonds for outstand-
ing warrant indebtedness. The debate
on the bill was full of information and
among those who discussed it were
Jjowry, Smith, Walling, Elliott, Sut-
ton. Nesbitt, St. .lohn. Mason, Stein, |
Vickers, McCoy, and Hoyer.
A number of petitioners from difTer-
ent section protested at having in the
bill the words, "sell at par," and
wished them put on the market at
ninety-five cent*..
Speaker Barnes left the chair to
speak to the bill. Stein presiding. He
believed in keeping the bonds a par.
lie thought our bonds were as good as
anybody's bonds and didn't believe in
putting bonds at ninety five cents in
this territory.
Spencer,of Canadian, believed in the
same doctrine
St. John didn't believe in anything
less than par.
Stein was a 05 per cent man. Smith
stood on the same platform.
Nesbitt said there would be no
trouble in selling long time bonds at
par.
Sutton, of Pawnee, closed the de-
bate, arguing in favor of 05 cents in
place of par
He did not believe the passage of
the bill would place the bonds on par.

to such a bill, but would rather have

Col. l'routy himself moved the adop-
tion of the majority report against
the location of the penitentiary at

Little opposed county clerks issuing
marriage licences. He thought that

seemed to astonish the house by mak-
ing the statement. He wanted the
probate judge to issue the marriage
licence.
The bill, after having run the gaunt-
let of a score of amendments, whi
would fill several colums of this paper,
was laid over until tomorrow.
The committee of the whole arose
at II o'clock and reported progress.
The session was a very long one and i
"much work was done on the bill in the
way of many and salient amendments. 1
The bill contains sixty-three sections !

reached for amendment.
