oVuSoS
nands the granting of this franchise"
II am confident that the contrary Is
the case Ibelieve that 1t would afford
no relief, for the reason that 1t would
place the tinsncee of the state in the
hands of those whose purpose would
largely be to promote their own personal
ends aud, therefore, the amount re-
ceived from the proposed lottery fran.
chise would be more than cOunterbal-
anced by the extravaganza, appropria-
tions and mismanagement. For proof
of this it is only necessary to refer to the
state of Louisiana and the city OF New
Orleans, which have been practically
under control of this lottery company. /
am fully satisfied that it was the purpose
of the originators of tho lottery scheme
to not only legalize lotteries, but to OBJ
tain and retain absolute political control
Of the state"
Asylum Appropriation o. X.
The jamestown Asylum appropriation
bill passed the house today without
a dissenting vote. The work Of Messrs
Milsted and Lutz and Senator Fuller,
in keeping the amount at the sum re"
ported by the committee was most
earnest and successful. The appropria-
tion IS over 5000 and is good one
under the circumsta noes. An amend
nlent was added which requires the
institution to burn native coal if tho
price does not exceed $3 per ton. This
will give work for more teams, and it is
said will afford saving of $1,000 on the
present fuel item estimated in the ap-
preparation, Il a certain contract is made
now under consideration. The railroad
rate has not yet been announced.
Live Bismarck Topics.
Senator Fuller found it out of the
question to get the duties of city treasuer
of jamestown combined with those of the
county treasurer. The senate committee
discussed the bill, and all the members
were anxious to help the popular senator
from Stutsnan county get the matter
adjusted rs the people here desire. but
the fact that Grand Forks county the
city of Larimore is twenty miles from the
ment would not work at all in that case,
prevented the passage of a general law
for the benefit of this city. Any other
arrangement for jamestown was ciassed
under especial legislation The only
way is to reorganize under the general
law.
Denny Hannatin says u would have
gone to a more extreme measure with
the Pioneer Press dude than Mac did.
/ think would have given him back his
gun, but cut off an ear for a sleeve but
ton: then told him to go write dime
novel;
Senator Swanston had the qualification
Saturday to see his Deaf and Dumb
school bill pass oyer the veto of the gov
ernor, by a vote of 81 to 10. The doctor
is hustler and his friends stand by him
through thick and thin.
The charge haa been made that the
senate was holding up house bills. Ex-
animation shows that the former body
was largely ahead of the latter IN this
work Saturday. Both houses will no
doubt do the courteous thing as far as
possible by the bills of the other.
The legislature expects to hold long
session Tuesday night. There may be a
special train Wednesday to convey the
boys east.
Bismarck Personals.

Saturday and enjoyed day among the
solons He was cordially received and
every opportunity afforded him to obtain
any inside pointers on the appointment
of superintendent of public instruction.
Prof. Denny thinks the matter has
already been settled IN favor of some
Cass county man. County superinten-
dent Devine of LaMoure. was also a

tion.

the visitors from that county at Bis
marck last week.
Superintendent George Palmer of the
Darlington Il Casey farms, near Melvill,

one on the farm for the past two years.
Senator Diesem, who has been i'll for
some days, appeared in his seat Satur-
day, looking rather the worse for the
confinement. Mr.. Buchanan OF the house,
is yet unable to leave his room in the
Sheridan.
Sheriff Stoddard of LaAloure. was
getting around among the members the
latter part of the week. "Jlm" is as
popular Sheriff as there is in the state
Hon. i. $. Rolfe advertises for sale in
the Minnewaukan Slftings, "good mare,
13 years old, well spawned, $40" That
man deserves the title prefxed to his
name If ever horse trader did and is, in
consequence, a freak that would make
the fortune OF some enterprising museum
manager.
