. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
The senate then went into committee of
the whole and decided to make the following
recommendations To indefinitely postpone
the bill in regard TO interest on money and
uFury; to recommend the passage OF the bill
for the third hospital for the insane; TO lay
over the bill relating to plans for third hospi-
TAI for Insane; to lay over the bill to prevent
the sale OF obscene literature; 10 recommend
that the bill relating to sales Of lands by
guardians be cngrOssed for third reading;
10 lay over the bill relating 10 compensation
of county commissioners. IL was finally
agreed, however, that the bill providing for a
third To. pita for the insane might be laid over
till the committee that went 10 Rochester To
visit the Insane asylum at that point should
return and communicate their views The
committee then rose aud the report made to
the senate In accordance with the above was
adopted.
While the insane ASYLUM was before the
committee Of the whole Senator Stceucrson
moved to amend by locating it north Of the
south line Of otter Tail county. II the idea
IS 10 have a state institution In the northern
part OF the state 1t is no more than right, he
said, that IL should be north Of the south liuc
of Otter Tall On vote being taken the
amendment was lost.
Dennlson, Of Guodhue moved TO amend,
forbiddlng any uf the commissioners from
having any interest In the location of the
hospital or In any contract for building IT,
This amendment caused some amusement
and a variety OF interrogaiories were pro-
pounded. Among others, Senator Drunisun
was asked II all the other pub
lie institutions IN the state we're
located in that same disinterested
manner, The senator replied that il We had
been 10 the habit OF doing wrong that was no
reason why we should continue ia that
habit.
Mr.. Morrison argued that the number Of
Insane In the state was increasing with our
increasing population, and maintained that
such an asylum was needed In the northern
part OF the state.
Senator Wilson argued in favor of post
ponement, on the ground Of courtesy to the
committee that had gone 10 Rochester.
Senator DOran thought the senate should
be unanimous on such a question rs this. II
must bc that the senators did not understand
the subject.
The mutton was finally adopted forbiddluE
any commissioner from having any interest
In the selection Of the site or In anv contract
for building the hospital
Senator Steeuerson talked a little shout
"woodehuck," which caused some eommo-
ton. The senator finally concluded that he
had 40 evidence upon which he could base
any ehsrKe of that deserintion
