"Popular Edition" of Lawn of 1895. The acts of the fourth session of the

North Dakota legislative assembly, to­gether with a complete synopsis ot the important changes made in the old laws by the new codes, will in a few days be issued from the*toress of the Bismarck Tribune in that "Popular Edition" form —retail price 75 cents. There are many startling and important changes in the laws, and the little volume will be the first and most complete review issued. As the revised codes will not be printed for several months, this edition will be found almost indispensable with all clhsses— immensely more so than any previous work of this nature. There have been important changes m&de, new dutleB im­posed on county, city and township offi­cials, radical departures, in the assess­ment and taxation of property (in fact, a complete new revenue law); a new gar­nishment law; exemption laws; impor­tant changes in. the school laws, in the probate code, in the code of civil pro­cedure, and criminal and justices' codes. The "woodchucks" in the new codes are numerous and the changes radical. The new revenue law is a complete departure from present methods. It must be remem­bered that all the new codes were enacted by the legislature almost entirely on the report of the committee, were huriedly read, understood by no one, and the pub­lication of the "Popular Edition" of the laws from the press of the Bismarck Tribune will be the first—and for a long time is likely to be the only—complete synopsis of the new provisions. It will also contain the full' text of the acts of the last session to be incorporated in the new code, A11 orders for the "Popular Edition" of the laws will be promptly filled by the Reconl.
