Legislative Notes.


Senator Kyle departed from this cit,
yesterday morning for Aberdeen and
thence to Washington where. on the 18th
OF next month, he will don the senatorial
toga of Mr. Moody. A large delegation
OF independents and democrats boarded
the train and escorted him to East Pierre,
and quite u number went as far as Huron
with him. There was u great cxuberance
OF feeling among the new made statesmen
as they gathered around their chief and
bade him goodbye, each one giving his
hand extra pressure as If to remind him
OF that little "private talk" that had pre-
viously been held and at which promises
to do what he could were made. At the
East Pierre depot he stood on the plat
rorm in the regulation way of a great man
passing through the land hat of
and bowling to the right and left. AS the
train pulled out he waived his hand and
said, goodbye, boys" and might have
added ''go back and rustic your s. day
for the next two weeks while l go and
rustic my SIS a day for the next six
years.''
Some of the members kicked like steers
| when they learned they had to adjourn
Saturday evening to Tuesday morning.
Some of them were indignant because the
time of 1.-The people" was shut oir day
because of the death of All old fellow by
the name of George Washington nearly
one hundred years ago. The fact is they
were diSgusted because they had not
learned of the national holiday in time to
go home on the morning train and TINS
leave the dear people in the lurch for two
days.
Christensen of Turner, the gigantic
young member of the house, arose and
made his maiden speech last Saturday on
the oil inspector bill. This rising young
star of democracy expressed very enphat-
ic and vigorous disapproval of this orna-
mental official sinecure.
eleven introduced a resolution to shut
off reference to Indians and Indian troub-
les, but it was set down on. Itcontainsd
| merit just the same.
Speaker Seward, like some twenty or
thirty other members of the legislature,
has been laid up with sickness.
Representative King was reported to-
have died last night, but in spite OF this
he is u very lively looking cadaver. In
fact Mr.. King is improving right along.
c. w. Robbins, publisher of the Custer
City Chronicle, left for Custer City this
morning. Mr.. Robbins had Il little contest
for chair in the senate that availed him
nothing. However, during his stay in the
city a good many got to know Mr.. Rob-
bins and found him whole-souled gem
tleman and a true representative of the
Hills
Mrs. Representative Bach is visiting
the capital with her husband.
Representative Gamble went home to
build up from the wrestle he had with la
grippe.
Hall doomed the 81 eep industry yester-
day by saying the cultivation OF sheep
was the best and most effective way to
destroy the Russian thistle pest. This
was on consideration of H. b. 149, which
strikes out Russian thistle and substi-
tutes "black seed mustard" O'Neil said
II we did not destroy the Russian thistle
is would destroy us. The bill, however.
was indefinitely postponed as it should be.
Schnauber says it takes Mcintyre to ex-
plain point in q clasr, lucid and en-
phatlc manner.
Clerk Coy looks little dis6gured-but
he says ''you ought to see the other fell
low!" He went dashing into his coal
house yesterday and his face ran foul of q
piece of iron that barked cheek which
he supposed was more adamantine than
it proved to be.
Mrs. Representative Cornwell returned
to her home at Clark today.
