BICYCLES AS LUGGAGE.
Prior to the session of the Legislature
the wheelmen demanded that a law be
passed compelling transportation COM
parties to carry bicycles as luggage. The
request of the cyclists was granted by
the Legislature and approved by the
Governor the section of the Civil Code
governing the matter being amended to
read as follows, to be in effect from and
after it's passage
Section 21S1 of the Civil Code

TRUCKER AND TAHOE RAILROAD
For number of years the question
of building railroad between Truckee
and Lake Tahoe has been agitated. but
prospective promoters looked askance
at the project for the reason that seven
months out of the year the line could
not be operated except at enormous ex-
pense and no return for the outlay. The
statutes provided that the lines OF
transportation companies must be kept
in active operation under penalty OF
revocation of franchise, and to obviate
such proceeding an Act was passed
which will allow the company formed
to prosecute the work upon the pro-
posed road and push it to completion
without danger of being closed down
by the State. The Act is as follows:
Section l. All railroads operated in
this State whose lines of road
are wholly constructed at an elevation
of 5000 feet, or more, above the level
of the sea. shall only be required to
maintain and operate their roads, OF
on, between the 18th day of May and
the 10th day of October in each year.
IMPORTANT TO JUSTICES.
One of the laws passed and approved
is of paramount interest to Justices OF
the Peace, and as its text is its best
explanation it is given in full as fol-
lows:
Section /. Section 105 Of the Code OF
Civil Procedure is hereby amended sc
as to read as follows:
100. A Justice of the Peace of any
township or city, or city and county may
hold the court of any other Justice OF
the Peace of any township, city and
county, or city within the same county
at his written request, and while SC
acting shall be vested with all the pow
ers of the Justice for whom he so holds
court. In which case the proper entry
of the proceedings before the attending
Justice subscribed by him shall be
made in the docket of the Justice for
whom he so holds the court; and the
same shall be prima facie evidence OF
such proceedings, and form and be-
come a part of the record of any, Oh
any part of any and all actions, causes
or proceedings had before such attend
ing Justice while so holding the court
FOR MEDICAL MEN.
Probably the law which will have as
much interest for medical men as any
other is that aiming to prevent blind
ness in infants. A similar bill was
laughed to death at the session OF
1895, but at the recent session the
members agreed to take the matter
seriously. The chapter complete is as
follows:
Section /. Should one or both eyes OF
an infant become Redeemed or infiamed
at any time within two weeks after
birth, 1t shall be the duty Of the mid
wife, nurse or person having charge
of said infant, to report the condition
of the eyes at once to some legally
qualified practitioner of medicine OF
the city, town, or district in which the
parents of the infant reside.
Section 2. Any failure TO comply with
the provisions of this Act shall be pun
ishable by fine not to exceed $100, or
Imprisonment not to exceed six months,
or both
Section g. This Act shall take effect
from and after its passage.
DIVORCE AND MARRIAGE.
Those who have kept tag on the Su-
perior Courts in the several counties
of the State are aware that the divorce
mill does a fourishing business. They
know also that many of the parties Sc
curing divorces attempt to mend mat
tiers by Immediately entering into mat
rimonial bonds with the person to
whom was attributable the breach in
the former order of things. All that
is changed now, as will be seen from
the statute governing the case, as fol
lows:
Section l. Section CT of the Civil
Code is hereby amended SO as to read
as follows:
81. A subsequent marriage contract
ed by any person during the life of a
former husband or wife of such per-
son, with any person other than such
former husband or wife, is Illegal and
void from the. beginning unless:
/. The former marriage has been an
nulled or dissolved; provided, that ir
