Next Monday is the last day when bills
can be introduced in the legislature, ex-
cept by request of the governor, and in
view Of that a large number came into
the house yesterday. Notwithstanding
this, they were not of very general i'm
portance, which shows that all of the
bills, outside of those of local bearing,
must have already been introduced. AS
on offset for the new bills which came
in, a number of bills were killed by ad-
verse reports of committees. The most
! of the day was spent in considering bills
in committee of the whole. The bill tax
ing insurance companies 2h per cent,
which was lost yesterday and reconsid-
ered had vitality enough to be again rec
| commended to pass, and next time will
probably go through.
The Roberts bounty bill for sugar
manufactured from beets was again
considered, but definite action finally
postponed. Representative Yale said that
| there were parties in Winona waiting to
see what action the legislature would
take, and if the bounty was retained they
would start a sugar beef factory there.
The bill making a state reward of $50
for the capture of horse thieves, and SIC
for the capture of bicycle thieves, was
/ recommended to pass, as was also the bill
reducing the legal rate of interest from Z
per cent to 6 per cent. This is a senate
bill, and the action of the house indicates
| that the legal rate of interest will be so
reduced. This will be one of the most i'm
portant bills of the session if it finally
