Change in Divorce Laws.

In the house session Jan. %, the roll
call of counties for new bills developed
that the members had not yet ex-
hsusted the supply of measures.
Among those introduced were two bills
providing for changes in divorce laws
of the state. One was by Mr.. Num-
inert, who seeks to provide means by
which an insane person may be di-
v0rced. 1t is clsimef that under the
present laws this is impossible in Indi-
ana. The bill provides that where
either husband or wife are decreed to
be of unsound mind and guardian is
appointed, that the guardian may. by
producing the documents showing that
be was legally appointed guardian and
that his ward is insane, procure q d.
vorce for the demented one. Repre-
sentative Trout, of Clay county, intro
duced bill which is to require judges
who grant divorces TO place an injunc-
tion in the decree restraining either of
the divorced parties from marrying
within two years.

MORALS OF SMALL TOWNS.

Bill Giving Town Clerks Power In
tended to Improve Them.
The bill to give TO town clerks Judicial
powers, that was introduced by Senator
kIttinger and Representative Scott, was
drawn upin the attOrney-genersl's office,
at the request of state officer and the
purpose of it is to reform the morals of
certain towns in the state.
Under the present laws small towns
have no jndical officer, such as mayor.
The officer is justice of the peace, who
often lives in the country some distance
away, but more often, it is explained, is
elected by the rsbble of the town. When
a case of misdemesnor comes up the
defendant must either be taken to a
county seat or the justice must be
brought in from the country and, it is
asserted, that it is very often true that
the justice will not intiict punishment
on the offenders.
The friends of the bill realized that
it would be impossible TO get bill
through that created a new office and
so il was decided tn confer judicial
powers on the town clerk and make it
part of the duties of the board of trus-
tees to select clerk who was lifted to
serve as Justice of the peace.

Bank Cannot Recover Note a. an
innocent Purchaser.
The supreme court January 30 de-
cided suit brought by James A. Shirk,
cashier, and the other partners in the
Citizens bank of Delphi, against Dan
lei w Neible to Pollard & Pollard,
attorneys at Delphi, for services IN de-
Tending his son on a charge OF murder.
In November, 1896, woman named
Nipple, who had apparently been steal
ing corn, was found shot dead in
Nelble's corn field. Neible and his two
sons were arrested. They employed
Pollard x Pollard TO defend them.
and was Informed that ii would depend
on the amount of work the ATTORNEYS
did, but that it would be reasonable.
The ATTORNEYS worked diligently at the
case, collecting evidence, and succeeded
in preventing the grand jury indIcting
any of the Neibles. During this inves-
tigation the attorneys fixed their fee at
$1,000 and Neible gave the note iD suit
for the amount
The trial court found that the ser
vices of the Pollsrds were actually
worth $500, and that the balance of the
note. because taken b, the attorneys in
excess of the trial, was breach of con-
fidence and uncOlectible and the ques.
ton therefore became whether the
cashier of the bank was such an inno-
cent purchaser as could recover the full
amount. The court held that, as the
murder and the employment and ser
vices of the POllsrds were matters so
we'll known that the cashier, as an 1T
dinsrily diligent business man, WAS
bound to inquire and satisfy himself
that the note was good and therefore
the bank could only recover the $500
which the services were actually worth.

To Protect Merchants.

Senator Thompson, of Indianapolis,
will in few days introduce q bill pro-
viding for taxing, licensing and regu-
lsting merchsnte, fixing license fees,
regulating sales of goods and to pre-
vent and punish fraudulent sales of
merchandise, also giving cities and
towns the power to license and tax
merchants. This bill is intended to
put check on the growing practice of
men from other states coming into
Indiana cities and opening temporary
stores for the conduct of bankrupt
salee," "6re sales" and the like. The
bill has been prepared at the instance
of regular merchants, who desire some
protection against what they term "fiy
by night" business houses, which pay
no license fee and are extremely diff
cult of being placed on the tax dupli-
Gates.

I:iII to Place Their Appointment with
Circuit Judges.
a proposition to amend the county
reform law by providing that members
of county councils shall be appointed
by circuit judges stirred the senate to
speech making Jan. "a The major
ity committee report was against the
bill
Senator Parks, member of the COM
mittee on county and township bust
ness, TO which the bill WAS referred,
made minority report favoring the
passage Of his bill. The discussion that
e-cse gave the new senator from Mar
shall county his first chance for speech
making. He argued that county coun-
ellis should be bipartisan, and that this
could only come through appointment
Their creation by election, the senator
argued, made them partisan boards and
thereby took away the possibility of
the councils being safeguards of the
county's interests.
Senator Lambert followed Senator
Parks on the other side of the question
He became thoroughly aroused, and
his voice rang through the senate
chamber for ten minutes. Senator
Lambert argued that the bill is blow
at representative government. Sen
ator Reyes argued that a circuit judge
would be at the beck and call of friends
if the appointment of councils were
left TO him. Senator Inman argued
that the work of appointing councils
was entirely without the province of
the duties for which circuit judges are
elected. He said the judges did not
want the duty placed on them, as their
time is taken up with other matters.
Senator Wood sided with the sdvo-
Gates of the bill. He said the first
sppOintees Of the circuit judges. under
the provisions of the bill, gave univer
sal satisfaction. Senator Wood said it
would be impossible to get the men

ellis to enter the pool of politics, for the
reason that the emoluments of the
office is merely nominal $40 for each
member. lie argued that the circuit
judge would appoint men whom be
knew to be best fitted for the place.
Senator Corr also spoke for the mi
nority report. He said the purpose
was not so much to take the county
councils out of the hands of the people
as out Of the hands of politicians. He
said the vast majority of circuit judges
are honorable men who could not be
influenced in appointing other than
honest, competent councils. Senator
Winfield spoke for the bill He said if
the present law were continued corpora
tiens would push their men forward
to run for membership on the councils.

The Wheat Outlook.

The indications are that the weather
may fool around with snow long
enough TO give this region some much
desired shedding. If an eight-inch and
more snow should visit Northern.I ndi-
ana soon, and lie on the ground till the
last week in March, the result could not
but be beneficial to the sgriculturist
who has had a wheat failure for two
successive seasons. A third one would
prove even more disastrous, not only in
the lose entailed, but in the discourage
ment of farmers and wheat-growers,
generally. A good snow that would
stay with us would prove vastly benefi-
cial.

The proposition to use granite or
marble in the new federal building
seems preposterous. 1t would cost
several hundred thousand dollars
more without any return whatever.
Our Indiana stone is fully as dura-
BILE and handsome. 1t has stood all
tests and is used all over the coun-
try. To use marble or granite
would be to discredit our own pro-
duct; TO say to the world that our
stone is so inferior that the govern
ment would not use it in an Indiana
building. 1t would be monstrous
to strike such a blow at one of our
leading industries, and no one
could be interested in doing so ex-
cept dealers in granite or marble.
The incidental benefit to our quar-
rymen and stone-cutters also is to
be considered. The money will be
spent in Indiana, but if other mater
ial be used, it will be cut in the
quarries and brought here ready for
use. If there be substance in this
movement to change the material,
the state should rise as one man and
prevent it.-Indianapolis Press.

NEW FISH RfGt LATIONS.

Frank LitiIeton To Draw Up IA Bill for
Committees.
The senate aud house committee on
rights and privileges met to consider all
the fish and game bills. Several citl-
zens appeared aud gave their ideas.
The matter of agreeing on bill TO
contain the best points was left to q
subcommittee. After agreeing on the
points, the subcommittee put the mat
Ter of drawing the bill into the hands
of Frank Litile'On.
The main points are: There snail be
no poisonous substance dumped into
streams IN sufficient quantities TO Kill
fish; no seines, gigs or nets shall be
used, and no dynamite except for min.
Ing and mechanical purposes, and then
80; trot lines shall not have over fifty
hooks, and no one can enter land TO set
trot line without consent of the
owner; il shall be unlawful TO sell or
offer for sale any pike or bass in April

sess more than twenty black bass in

from a boat they are limited to total
of thlrty-six; il is made unlawful TO
shoot fish at any time and no fish
shall be taken when water is covered
or partly covered with ice. All licenses
for seines now in existence are revoked.
1t Is tbOsght that the only change i'll
the game law will be provision by
which nonresident hunters must pay
an annual license fee of so to the
county where hunting is TO be done.
