The LAVA Statesmen

Dies MONIES, March IS Very little was
done in the house yesterday except to ad-
vance bills on the calendar. The committee
reported favorably on bills to prohibit the
sale of tobacco to minors and to pro-
vide for the guardianship of habitual
drunkards. In the senate the bill
prohibiting the sale of tobacco
to minors was called up on adverse report of
the committee, when Senator Clyde moved
q recommitment to the committee on intern
perance, which prevailed. The bill provid-
ing that the per diem of trial jurors shall be
taxed rs part of the costs was laid on the
table and the calendar then cleared of bills
adversely reported.

seventy five years and the former fifty years
to pay was mistake so far as the former
was concerned. He said that the Union
