JUST FILED.
A communication from the territorial
secretary's Office informed the house that
the famous act providing for the erection,
maintenance and care OF certain public
buildings and institutions had been filed
there Saturday afternoon. This, as every
one perhaps knows, is the vetoed build
ing appropriation bill. So cndeth the
chapter.
ANOTHER VETO.
House enrolled act No. Is, providing
for the release of dover by married women,
was yesterday returned to the body in
which it originated without the governors
approval. His excellency advances the
objection that the proposed law annuls the
statute which now protects wives from
undue influence and throws a safeguard
around the homestead. Governor Moon
light says: There are many wives who, if
the protecting clause were repealed, would
sign, unwittingly, the very deed, mort
gage or cncumbrance which would throw
them out of doors with their little ones to
become a charge upon the county. 1 can
not believe that the legislature intends
this, and believe that it must have been
an oversight. Almost every state, In the
West at least, has the very protecting
clause here sought to be destroyed, and
which has been beneficial to Wyoming"
The governor quotes the two Objectionable
sections in the bill and remarks that he
would gladly approve the act were they
eliminated. Both paragraphs provide in
effect hat sales of real estate may be made
without the consent of the wife, and that
in oil transactions a married woman may
act the same as a femme sole. On motion
of Nh. Roberts, the introducer Of the orig
inal bill, the rejected act, together with
the veto message, were referred to the
house judiciary committee.
CONQUERED.
The house, on motion of Mr.. Snyder,
father of the measure, concurred in the
amendments of the honorable council to
the bill in relation to the payment of in
demnity for live stock killed by the trains,
etc., of railway companies.
AGREED TO DIsAGREE.
BY a vote of IL to IL the house refused
to accept the council amendment to Mr..
Van DevanteTs bill amending the statute
relative to the contracting powers of mar
ried women.

UNDER CONSIDERATION.

Roberts in the chair. There were no
warm debates and bills were disposed of
rapidly.
A bill which Mr.. Sutherland had intro
duced at the urgent request OF some in
tcrested party was consigned to the waste
basket in short order. 1t created an
other cause for attachment, providing
that when a debt of less than 5000 be-

was given by Mr.. Laircntz. who moved
