MELvlLLE's SCHEME.
What South Dakota Proposes To Do In
the Line of Irrigation.

the Line Of Irrigation.
PIERRE, March 5.-Melville's town
ship irrigation bill has passed both
houses and all amendments have been
concurred in. Gov. Mellettc has signilied
his entire approval of the bill, so that
there is little doubt but it will become
a law as it stands. The bill lis very care
fully drawn by Senator Melville, Of
Beadle county-the center of the present
artesian agitatfon-and has met the
heartiest approval of all the members of
both houses. From interviews taken
with them tho concensus of opinion
was that tho best way to promote irriga-
tion was by the township system. All
say that the townships of their counties
have no trouble in disposing of their
school bonds, so there is no reason why
these irrigation bonds should not be
easily disposed Of, as they are more care
fully guarded to make them legal and
binding in every respect. The bill will
be the only irrigation legislation this
session, and it is expected that it will
meet the entire demands of the state
The laws Of California and other states,
where artesian irrigation has been made
success, have been overhauled and the
cream of them all, as best adapted to
the wants of this state, taken. 1t will
be noticed that the emergency clause is at
tached, and the measure will become a law
as soon as the governors signature is at
tached. This was done for the reason,
as claimed by members, that in severa
parts CT the state the people are await
ing for such a law to commence opera
tions. 1t is confidently expected thai
this law will give artesian irrigation Il
new and lasting impetus in the state.

BLOOMINGTON. ILL.,, March "a new

oflcers are: Charles Lamp, president:
II. Is: Montgomery. president; Eos
ter w. Montgomery, secretary, and A.

unlike any ever before organized in this
State. 1t is OIL the mutual plan.
ANY member may become member
by paying $40. Monthly assessments
OF S1.25 are made. Tho 81 goes into a
protection fund.-" and all other moneys
go Tor salaries and other expenses. The
certificates OF membership are numbered
consccutively in the order in which thew
arc received. When the s:protection
fund.- amounts to 600 this sum is paid
to the person holding certificate No. /,
and as often as the money in the protcc-
ton fund amounts to $1,000 the money
redccms the certificate of the lowest
number remaining unpaid. A person
may hold any number of certificates, and
it is understood that the organizers have
pre-empted goodly number of them.
This company is copied after one
existing in the cast. The officers and
directors are men of neither prominence
nor wealth. Bloomington mathemati-
clans are figuring upon the problem of
how any one except the organizers can
get anything out of the 'sprotection"
fund in an ordinary lifetime.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
The Mckinley Bill to BE Reviewed., at, an
Early Day.


WASHINGTON, March 3.-Attorney-
General Miller will ask the supreme
court to put Marshall Field & Co.'s ap-
peal in the Mckinley tariff bill case on
the March calendar and ask for il an
early hearing This is the wish of every
body concerned, but it is of specialsim-
portance to the treasury depart
ment, which is daily confronted
with questions growing out of the
application of the bill. IT the law
is to be decided unconstitutional it Is of
great Importance to the government to
have an early decision. If it be held
constitutional. business men are equally
interested in knowing this. The attor-
neys for the New York importers who
have entered similar suits will be on
hand when the Field case is heard. There
seems to be an idea among congressman
who have had to do with tariff legisla-
tion for years that q particular section
Of the bill like that granting sugar
bounty might be held invalid without at
fecting the rest of the measure. They
do not put much stress on the alleged!
error in the bill itself in regard to the
tobacco clause, because If the courts are
to enter into a judicial determination of
the work of conference committees
an immense amount of legislation
might be declared invalid. One reason
why an early decision is wanted is that
the reciprocity arrangement between
Brazil and the United States goes into
effect April L. If 1.-The supreme court
/ should hold, as Marshall Fields lawyers
contend, that the Mckinley act was
never passed this arrangement would
fall to the ground. The power to make
such agreements is, not a constitutional
power vested in tho president of the
United States. but o mere statutory
power derived from the Mckinley act.
If the Mckinley act was never passed as
it stands to-day in the statute books it is
not law (and there are abundant decis-
ions of state courts setting, aside alleged
laws enacted in similar way as was the
Mckinley act) and the so-called rccipro-
city subventions under it fail.

Probable Arrest ut I. Prominent Youth for
Highway Robbery.

AhSlA""J AsoOOoAys
KANSAS CRY, March 4.-The facts of
a sensational robbery that occurred last
Thursday night at the house of D. w.
Moore, developed yesterday. Clara
Mabel Moore, 10 years of age, we'll
known in society and u leader in ANA
teur theatricals, was the victim. Miss
Moore was alone in the music room when
u masked man entered behind her,
grasped her in his arms and attempted
to remove her rings from her fingers.
She fought desperately with him and
her finger and hands were terribly lac
Grated in the struggle. The robber had
forced one bracelet from his victims arm
and was struggling for the other when
Miss Moore escaped from him, and run
ming into the hall cried for help. The
robber escaped. Miss Moore has been
only semi-cohscious ever since. In her
delirium she has mentioned the name of
we'll known young man, Il member of
her social clique. as her assailant. He
will not be arrested until Miss Moore
can make q conscious charge against
him. His arrest would cause a sensa-
ton.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 3.-There.

johnson have lived in the town and con-
Quoted confectionery and grocery

culation affecting Mrs. Johnson,s virtue.
and Mr.. Johnson's honesty, and on
Sunday night the white caps came
down on them. They were iR,full force,
about eighteen or twenty men on horse
back. Riding into town about mid,
night, they visited the house. and posted
d notice to the effect that tho occupants
must get out OF the place in twenty
four hours, or they would be
whipped and subjected to other cruelties
of the white caps. Than they threw
rocks, sticks and pieces of coal at the
house, and thoroughly frightened thein
mates Then, mounting their horses,
they withdrew. The Eext morning when
johnson and; his family dared to put
their heads catside Of their doors they
found the switches and the note. So
great was their terror that they did not
wait to got their breakfast, but packed
up as many of their things as they could
carry, and fearing. to ask any one to help
them. walked out. of the place with their
bundles ON their backs. Some people
who were not afraid of the white caps
afterward packed up what they had left
and shipped them 10 Tennyson, Ind.
where they hsd gone. The white caps
had not befose been heard of in that Sec
ton of Spencer county, and their pres
ence there has created much excitement,
particularly among tho classes that arc
likely to receive visit from them.

High Times Among the Highblnders.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March "a
very large force of police is massed in
Chinatown, as a battle between highbind-
ers is expected at any hour. Last night
members of tho Ep Yng Tong society
posted a challenge to the Suey Sing Tong
society, and both forces had arrayed for
battle when the police learned of the
meeting and dispersed them. Several
who were arrested wore coats of mail.
Later, about midnight, Chinese cour-
tesan was shot by an unknown high
binder, who escaped although ten police
men were not forty yards away. His
countrymen knew his identity, but they
refused to reveal it. The trouble in
Chinatown is due to raids which the po-
lice have made on the highbinders'
stronghold. These criminals have been
prevented from levying blackmail, and
the big societies have determined to clean
out the smaller ones. The Suey Sing
society numbers 1000 men, while Ep
Yng has only seventy, yet the latter re-
fuse to abandon their organization and
show fight. If the two societies meet
without police near there is sure to be
blOOdShed.

AS TO TAXATION.
The Attorney General of North Dakota
Files an Important Opinion.

lhe AttOrncy-General of North Dakota
Files an Important Opinion.
BISMARCK, N. D., March 3.-The at
torney-general has rendered to the legis-
lature an opinion as to the power of the
state to tax the franchise, right-of-way,
roadbed, ties, buildings and other equip
ments of the Northern Pacific railway
company. This subject has vexed the
people and occupied the courts ever since
the constitution was formed. The at
torney-gencral points out that the act
of congress granting q charter to
tho Northern Pacific was in
the nature of a contract
The charter grants the right-of-way
through certain portions of the public
domain, including what is now the state
of North Dakota, and eXempts the prop
erty specified from taxation. The COM
pany agreed in accepting the charter, to
transport government stores, troops,
etc, and to maintain postal route. The
encouragement holds that congress had
power to grant the right of way through
the public domain and to make the con-
tract stated. The state cannot tax the
company's right of way or the improve
ment thereon, without conflicting with
the constitution of the United States,
which provides that q state cannot inn
pair the terms of a contract. The opin-
ion is elaborate and clear, covering the
whole ground. 1t will probably be taken
as conclusive in settling the question.
