81 st. Paul, April 6. The fight over the /
county option bill was carried to a
finish III the house yesterday afternoon
and i'll the end the proposition was de-
feated by a vote Of AZ to 49, The
friends Of the measure conceded sew
eral points during the discussion,
which occupied nearly three hours, but
it became apparent that NO amend
ment would make the bill satisfactory
to a + majority Of the house. All
amendments, evidently designed to
ripple the measure, We're voted down.
The final test came on motion to-
rlace the bill on the calendar made by
MI. Jacobson after the committee OF
the whole had recommended the bill
call was Oh this motion, resulting in it's
defeat. A most effective days work
was done in committee Of the whole
during the three sessions which were
held. Mr.. Staples presided in the
morning, Mr.. Feig i'm the afternoon and
Mr.. Underleak in the evening. Each Of
these gentlemen had the faculty for
rushing business, and the fact that
very many bills We're disposed of bears
out their reputation in this respect.
Among the more important bills
recommended to pass in committee of
the whole We're the following:
Allowing cities of less than $4,000
inha bitants to issue bonds for floating
Indebtedness; to prevent any person
from soliciting the placing of the name
Of any person upon jury list; provid-
ing that persons may voluntarily sub
init themselves for treatment in hos
pitfalls fer the insane; amending the
law providing for the incorporation OF
savings banks; establishing prohibit
tionary system Of juvenile offenders in
counties Of more than 10000 inhabi-

| village is located in two counties the

| a separate assessment district; provid-
ing that franchises for the use Of the
streets of cities shall only be granted
upon a vote Of the city council ratified
by vote Of the people; compelling pris-
o1.ers confined in county and city jails
to labor upon the highways; to exempt
from execution the library and appa.

for the alleged insane in cities Of more
than $4,000 inhabitants; amending the
dairy law so as to bring violations

In the Senate.
The senate did not reach general or
ders yesterday. 1t spent most Of thu
time over resolutions and motions an(
on motions to take up bills, orders ant
other business from the table. In fact
it was field day for the resurrection
of dead bills, measures in committees
on general orders, etc. So
Senator Yale asked to have reconsid
cred his bill providing that sheriff.
