SPEAKING of "pension probabilities"
William E Curtis in his Washington let
ter of the 18th to the Chicago News says;
"The house committee may make a show
of opposition to the senate bill, but will
ultimately yield" The conference COM
mittee was to meet on the 18th, and it is
predicted that within the next ten days
the bill will become a law. As hereto
fore explained, this bill provides that
any soldier of the late wal who is de-
pendent upon his earnings for support,
and so disabled that he cannot perform
mental or manual labor, is to receive a
pension of $12 a month regardless of
whether his disability is the result of
military service or not. It is intimated
that this Is the bill the president most
favOrs,

CURTIS Washington letter of May Is,
says: "Baby Mckee went to the circus
this morning in company with the presi,
dent of the United States. There was
no performance, but he saw the animals
fed and the keepers poked them up in
great style for him." Meanwhile, the
narrator goes on to say, there were
hungry ones waiting to be fed; hanging
around the white house all this time,
"and they we're about as mad as Baby
Mckee was happy"

SENATOR MCCORMACK thought he had
discovered about 100000 worth of ter
ritorial property-mostly in South Da-
kota-which the division and adjustment
commission had failed to take notice of
and dizzy properly between the two new
states, but Maj. Hamilton and Auditor
Bray find on information gathered from
Mr.. Camp, who was a member of the
joint commission, and from the division
agreement itself, that the property
mostly lands on which are located public
institutions-was taken into considera-
ton and therefore the joint commission
to effect a final settlement will have
nothing to do with it.

that some of their acts have been sub.

FIVE hundred women in one Kansas
town have combined to resist the sale of
"o1iginal packages" the supreme court
Of the United States to the contrary not
w~ithstanding. If, as some still contend,
permission to sell these packages de-
ponds upon state laws, why should the
m of Kansas be compelled to be-
come rebellious and take the matter into
their hands? Why not let the state law
take its course? There must be a want
of faith in that position down in Kansas,
and if Kansas prohibition law is not
good for it, where will you find it?

In the u. s. senate on Wednesday Mr..
Wilson Of Iowa reported from the ju-
dietary committee, the bill subjecting i'm
ported liquors to the provisions of the
laws of the several states-in the inter-
ests of prohibition. MI. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts and MI. Edmunds of Vermont,
both members of the Judiciary committee,
expressed the opinion that the bill ought
to be a comprehensive one and to extend
to other things than distilled spirits Ito
opium for i~nstance) and apply to all arti-
cles which states might desire to prohibit
the sale of. Nj. Hoar explained that the
bill had been rendered necessary by the
late decision of the supreme court of the
United States, holding that Intoxicating
liquors manufactured in one state and
conveyed into another, and there sold by
the manufacturer or his agent, cannot be
interfered with by states. Both of these
distinguished senators recognized the
fact that state interference in the sale of
such imported liquors was prohibited by
the decision and in order not to delay &C.
ton had assented to the report of the
bill limited to Intoxicating liquors.
Senator Washburn of Minnesota being
interviewed on the subject said: IT don't
think congress will ever amend the inter-
state commerce law in this respect" The
Washington correspondent of the Min
neapolis Journal says: "Fhe prohibition
lists cut a sorry figure in congress so far
as votes are concerned, and it will take q
majority of prohibition votes to annul
this law"

A Devils Lake correspondent of tho
Fargo Argus, who has taken the trouble
to make some inquiry relative to the seed
wheat distribution BY Governor Millers'
committee thinks hat the total amount
Of wheat furnished the destitute" would
not exceed $4,000 bushels. The follow
ing is a part Of his statement:
'In the following counties: Richland,
Cass, Trail. Grand Forks, Walsh and
Pemblna, because no "destitutiOn" were to
be found. none was furnished.
The counties of Cavalier, Nelson, Steele,
Sargent, Ransom and some others were
bonded and furnished seed wheat to the
people.
Alex. Mckenzie furnished seed wheat
for Burleigh, while Emmons, Morton and
other counties in that vicinity got along
Ward.
The counties that did receive aid from
the commission, so far as known, were
Foster, n Benson. The total acreage is
in any n of these counties hardly as
much as a Cass or Trail county bonanza
farm, and but little seed wheat was re-
quired.
l I'm told that two cars of seed wheat,
sent BY the state commission to Rolette'
county. We're shipped back, having been
refused by farmers rs worthless. Very
little seed wheat was given to Griggs, Ed
dy or Foster.".
1t was lot SO great a speculation after
all, but extensive enough to test the ef-
fciency of the "noxious weeds" law here
after, if reports as to the foulness of the
seed furnished are true, and the speci-
mems seen are in evidence and conclus-
i've as far as they go.

"IT is natural" says the Chicago News,
shat United States senators should be
very wary of giving to the states, powers
which they do not now possess under the
constitution, but it must be said that the
objection urged by Senator Edmunds
and others to the proposed law giving to
prohibition states the power to exclude
packages of liquor shipped from beyond
their borders, are somewhat sophisti-
cal. Those senators say that a law of
this sort would establish a dangerous
percedent and might lead to the exclu-
sion from certain st ates by act of con
gress at some future time products of
other states which have not the democrat
izing qualities of Intoxicating liquors."
In view of the fact that the danger
line" has been so O o reached and so
readily disposed of by the supreme court
in the Minnesota 'dressed-beef" law, fol-
lowing the same line Of argument, al
though the opinion was delivered by one
of the dissenting justices in the Iowa IL
quor traffic case-it is difficult to see
where the "sophistical" comes in. The
News would not for a moment tolerate
the idea of drawing the (state) line on
dressed beef, and yet there can be no
possible difference in principle so far as
Interstate commerce is concerned. The
name or the character of the article trans
ported from one state to another can have
no bearing on the rights of traffic between
sovereign states under the constitution,
and whether it be liquors, tobacco, opium,
dressed beef, pumpkin seeds or mack
eral, one and the same"1aw must govern.

The grain inspection laws on the
North Dakota statute books are a dead
letter. The railroad commissioners say
they cannot do anything under them.
The expense of establishing Minnesota
inspection was about $4,000 while but
$500 was appropriated for the North Da-
kota officials to operate with. The rail-
roads also refuse to haul coal at the rates
prescribed by the legislature, taxes are
in dispute and payment r~efused-it's
indeed a complicated mess.

been appointed manager Of the company

thing this is for Mr.. Pierce but it
does know that the appointment is a
good thing for the company. Mr.. Pierce
is a live, active young man whose &C.

PROHIBITION is pronounced a dismal
failure in Sioux Falls. It's a failure all

law. No other power a v hat of the

not go beyond the facts Immediately connected
with the act of shooting and the cause of death
1t is not likely that the question of motive OF
any OF the matters pertaining to the defense
will be entered upon, as the coroner's Jury has
only to find the probable cause.
1t is said that when the case comes to trial
in court self-defense will be the plea made in
behalf of Mr.. Kincaid. 1t is said that testi
mony will be offered to show Mr.. Kincaid's
weak physical condition and that he was ken,
in constant dread Of an assault on him BY Mr..
Taulbee.
THE AUTOPSY.
The results OF the autopsy were made known
this afternoon. The ball was found to have
passed beneath the eye, downward and in.
ward, fracturing a part Of the orbital
plate. Thence it went toward the
brain, fracturing and splintering tho petrous
portion of the temporal bone. The ball was
found imbedded IN the bone and dura-
mater. The further penetration of sixteenth
of an inch would probably have resulted in
instant death. At the base of the brain a large
abscess was formed, and that, DR.. Lamb de-
cided, was the immediate cause Of death.
Other Assesses were discovered, and the brain
and membranes were much inaamed and con-
gested.
The position Of tho ball was such that il
the patient even had its exact location been
known.
THE INQUEST.
The inquest was opened punctually at 3
o'clock this afternoon in the officers sitting
room Of the sixth precinct station house, Lieut.
Kelly's Office having proven itself too small for
the purpose.
The first witness called was ex-Doorkeener
Donelson OF the House Of Representatives.
KINcAID.
Mr.. Kincaid remained at the 18th street
police station during the day. He had many
callers and spent his time when not engaged
with them in writing letters He was quite
unwell last night, but today seemed much
better.
He did not want to attend the inquest and 30
remained In his room at the station house, leay-
ing his interests at the inquest in the hands OF
his counsel.
