ALL ABOUT NEW LAWS.

&A4A A0OOA N6W AAW0.
A law was passed at the recent session
Of the legislature. adding incurable in.
sanity to the grounds for divorce. But.
AZ the law was passed. the insanity must
have existed for at least two pears. dur.
Ing which time the person from whom
the divorce 10 sought to be obtained must
have been confined IN an asylum.
Legislative clerks sometimes play havoc
with the original intent Of the lawmakers.
A law was passed at the recent session
fixing the number and compensation OF
legislative employees. The senate In
creased the compensation OF the sergeant.
alarms and chaplain Of the senate. But
when the bill went to the enrolling room,
some clerk tackled the changes to the
house schedule. and. as the law now
stands. the compensation OF these officers
in the house IL increased. while the sem
ate remains the same as in the original
bill. the object Of both bodies being dc.
feated.
There is another provision Of this law
fixing the number Of legislative employees
that will tend to avert the large number
Of clerks. It il provided that all en-
ployes of either house-clerks,' pages,
janitors and others-must be elected by
roll call Of the house to which they arc
to be attached. Heretofore the clerks. by
far the greatest class Of employees, have
been appointed by the presiding officers.
There is much objection among con-
tractors and lumbermen to the amended
mechanics lien law, and 1t 10 held that it
will be more difficult under the new law
for those who desire to build on credit.
All incorporated cities having popula-
ton Of 800 or over will have to adopt the
registry system at the spring election.
and the board Of registry must meet two
weeks before the election and prepare
lists Of voters.
Logan county claims the only unnamed
county seat in the country. The county
seat was moved from Napoleon at the
last election, and the records were moved
to the house of a German farmer named
Bogner. where they now are. The place
IL unnamed, there is no postodlce. and the
residents Of Napoleon viii fight the re-
moval in the courts. The county seat was
moved by majority Of five over the
necessary two-thirds.
The decrease in the salaries Of county
treasurers under the new law Is large in
some cases. The salary in Stutsman
county is reduced to $l.400 a year. Q re-
duction Of about $50 month.
