PIERRE, Jan. S0.-The report Of this
bribery committee came before the house
/, this afternoon and contained In substance
the following stateme ents of mem bers: BY
Mr.. Kelly thai gne Welsh approached him
vote for Moody for United States senator;
by Chefstianson, that one H. c. Rorapaugh
offered him 300 10 vote in the interest of
/ MIR. Moody by Mr.. Dahlen, that DIR. W. 4.
Brown, of Yankton Indian agency, offered
! almost anything in the shape Of money OF
!, position to throw his influence to Mr.
Moody; by Mr.: Walker that Ben Hoover
! proposed that for his assistance to organ
i lac tn, legislature to give his prizes; by
Mr.. Stevens that H. c. Rorapaugh offered
him $500 position to realize that Nj r.
Al oody was the farmsrs' friend and by
Mr. Hall that James Irwin offered him
3, 600 to stay out OF tho republican caucus.
Mr. Lukes, . witness, testified that he
considered the affair joke. The Welch
mentioned is a ward hceler of this city and
does not bear snvory reputation Mr..

here during the. session. The, other al
| legged bribers of citizens Of. this part of the
state. The committee made 10 recommen-
datton and the report was referred back
to them for further action. :.
| The republicans claim that the report is
] partisan and unfair and further inyestiga-
| tion will show 1t to be without foundation.
The house adjourned to 10 o'clock tomor-
| row morning.
In the senate bill was introduced by
Senator Scott prohibiting amy member of
the legislature or state official from ac-
cepting pass over any railroad.
| The ballot for senator today was rather
| q lame affair. II was expected that the
independents would try their luck upon
| another candidate than Wardell, he hav-
ing failed of election.
Desperate attempts will be made from
| now on to bring this senatorial businessto

that inside of another week Trpp will be.

not agree on any strong candidate and
liable to fall victims to tho democratic
wiles. It seems to be that the Moody
| republicans are resting on their
| oars, confident that tho oppasi-
Moody will secure his election by appoint
ment from the governor the legislature
failing to elect. The other republican
candidates expeetin some way.sto profit
by the brenk In the independent ranks.
The outcome seems to be far off yet. The
i until next Wednesday in both houses, il
seems that the disposition of this question
i has evidently been postponed until at least
that time, by general consent.
| 1t is likely that the committee ON cleo
tions will not report in favor of Mr.. ynn-
derlinden, the contestant from Douglss
| county for Mr.. Clark's seat, hut leave 1t
to the house. This may add two more TO
the combine m majority. 1t is not known
whether anything further will be done
with the Lawrence county case or not.
Broke the Camel's Back.
A rosy checked young Irishman
came sanntering down the street. He
was dressed in his best. and WAS evil
IDENTIFY out for a holiday. Just before
he reached the corner he met three
rosy-cheeked girls. They, too, were
dressed in their best, and were evil
dently bent on enjoying themselves.
Hello, Jim!" said the three girls all
| together.
Hello, girlsNn replied the young fel~
| low, cordially, I'm. glad to see yH,,
Mary. How arc yon, Sarah? You're
looking better Maggie And he
shook hands warmly all around.
After they had convcrsel for some
minutes about the affairs of sundry
aunts and cousins, Maggie. with a sly
wink at her female companions re-
marked:
AN weren't wo just goin' into the
saloon on tho corner to have cream?
Won't you come with us. Jimp,'
We'll. Lllon't mind" replied Jim,
in q good-natured tone. Though it's.
cold for cream" Jim's rosy cheeks
became slightly roster, probably at the
thought Of the ease with which Mag.
gle had invcigled him into treating.
They went in aud Jim ordered
cream" the members OF the party
selecting fnyors to their taste. All
went well until Maggie took n sip OF
the water that was served with the
! cream.
! ''lliis waters warm,m said she. and
then. with another wink at her female
companions, soda would go nice with
cream."
| '.Ycs, let's have soda,n said Jim.
| Waiter, bring soda" He had pllin-
| " made up his mind that now he was
,i, 4. n c-l
| When they had about half finished
i their cream" but had not made
| much of an inroad on the soda, Mag
| gle winked at the other two girls again
j and gave uttcrancc to a gleeful gig gle
| that she was unable to suppress, us
| she remarked:
4 always like to eat cake with
! soda"
! Yes, let's have cake" said jim.
Walter. bring us cake" Jin's face
had now begun 10 glow witl, an nn-.
usual ruddiness, but his manner re-
mained rs cheerful rs ever, His de-
!termination not to falter still remain-
ed unbroken.
| AT last they had finished. Jim paid
1.-The bill, and. they emerged from the
store. Jim had promised 10 60 with
them to take part in llonsewarming
at the home Of some relative. and the
prospect of approaching fun rather
cheered him up aud made him feel
somewhat repaid for the expense
10 which he had been pnt. But
! his good humor and his stoicism both
i received fatal blow at last, when
, Maggie coyly remarked:
There's u horse-car that runs right
] past the door. I'm awfuliy tired walk-
in'.n His rosy cheeks grew fiery now,
/ and the slightest touch Of indigna-
tion spread itself over his touatures.
An so you're tired walkin'. Mag
gic?n he asked.
Yes said Maggie. II am"
"Thcn, Maggie,D said he, 4.you kin
run"
