Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-02-17

the report of a minority recommending
that it be indefinitely postponed and ina
jority recommending that it do pass. The
bill changes the time of residence required
before commencing action for divorce
from three to nine months.
MIR. JOHNSON of Grand Forks who in
tr0duced the bill moved the adoption of
the majority report.
MIR. OLIVER made the point of order
that the bill could not be considered under
the constitution, one of similar character
having been brought up and defeated
earlier in the session.
MIR. SIMPSON regarded the intrOduc-
tion OF TINS oil, after one OF similar
character had been defeated, reflection
| on the house. 1t carried with it the sug-
gestiOn that the members did not know
what they were about when they had the
bill before them before.
Mr.. WlNEMAN said the measure was
defeated when introduced by him through
misapprehension and in all fairness the
the measure again. A majority certainly
were in favor of the bill.
Mr.. NEWMAN said the point of order
that the bill could not be considered be-
cause of constitutional objections was
raised IN the minority report.
VII. oOIlNoON Salu 1c VOCeU against
the DILL when it was under consideration
before under Misrepresentation and he
knew Of fifteen others who voted against
| it who really favored the measure. He
thought it unfair to raise this objection.
Mr.. McCULLOCH also thought it unfair
to raise this objection, especially as the
boiler inspection question had been al
lowed to come up time after time without
raising the question as to that.
MIR. SIROM also Thought the DOint an
| unfair one.
MIR. SPEAKER was inclined to think
the point Of order we'll taken, but the bill
| was laid aside, the point OF order to be
| considered later.
An attempt was made to call Mr.. Hagen's
bill relating to publishing price of wheat,
| freight rates, ETC., from the committee, be-
cause they were not doing anything, and
make it special order, but it failed, the
democrats all voting against the motion.
| MIR. SATTERLUND moved the adoption
of q resolution appointing James Staley of
county, Ralph Chase OF Burleigh county,
Frank Bryant Of Logan county, Fred
| BrOWsky of Cavalier county, ID. 5. DObbS
of Nelson county. Miss Grace Potter OF
Cass county, and L. SwennumsOn of
Walsh, as additional enrolling and ELL
crossing clerks. A fire was opened on the
resolution from every quarter OF the house
in the form of questions, aside remarks,
criticisms, etc. The speaker said he had
| no knowledge as to any need OF the addi-
! tiOnal clerks. The chairman OF the COM
mittee made no response and the resolution
was voted down with only one man in
sight who had the sand to vote for it.
Mr.. BENTLEY offered resolution to
excuse the absent members, evidently in
order to prevent the house being held
under call. He said he had no knowledge
| of the absent members desiring to be eX-
cused, but he knew that Mr.. Wright had
gone to bury a member Of his family and it
was cruel and inhuman to send for him
under call of the house under those cir
cumstances.
The absent members not paired were
Messrs. Wright, Elliott Rinde and Sever
son.
The committe of the whole had under
consideration a large number of bills which
were reported favOrably, or leave to sit
| regulating the operation OF traction engines,
| which was killed.
A bill was reported from the committee
apprOpriatng $50 to j. B. Sinclair and $50
| to Frank Caulke for expenses as meSsen-
gers.
