Fatal Results.

Fatal Results.
Editor Times: Dear Sir: Your editorial
Of this date, .'Unfenced Tracks and Grade
Crossings" reminds me that in connection
with the daninge suit for death OF Teresa
Mcdonald, killed by the Baltimore and
Ohio, at Eighth and K streets northeast, in
October. 1892, l had occasion to thoroughly
examine the regulations in this respect.
The police regulations of August 8, 1892,
section 16, of article 10, as my notes show,
require the tracks to be enclosed by a
substantial fence and such regulation ap-
pears to be within the scope OF the po wers
granted the Commissioners by the joint
resolution, approved February 26, 1892.
Compliance with that regulation would
have prevented the death of Teresa Nc
Donald and other accidents in the same
vicinity and 1t appears to me that prose
cution for noncompliance herewith Is
more urgent than some others and while
have 10 personal desire to agitate the
matter give you this reference. supposing
from your remarks that this regulation
has not been called TO your attention

TITLES MADE Good.
Payments to settlers on the Des
Mofnes River Lands.

Sioux City, Iowa, Feb 10-The COM
missioner from the interior department
has completed his report for the dis
tribution of the 100000 appropriated
by congress to clear titles of settlers
on Des MOines river lands and the
payments will be made In 1916
the dispute over the title to the lands
began. 1t resulted from conflicting
grants by state and federal govern
ments, and involved all public land
within five miles on either side of the
Des Moines above the RaccoOn river.
Bills to quiet the title in the settlers
passed congress twice. Cleveland We
tolng both. Then a bill passed to ap.
propriate money to buy the titles from
the Des Moines Navigation company,
which has been held by the ST.. RENE
court to hold the fee. About 1900
people will have their titles made good.
The settlers have impoverished them
selves for more than a generation
fighting the case in courts and congress
and many have been evicted by force.

Pierre, Feb THE senate rustled
with the silver problem and met with
about as great a success as it did on
the lunketing proposition oftwo years
ago. 1t is to be remembered that the
house yesterday reversed its decision
OF the day before and instead OF pass
ing ar amendment calling for free
coinage OF silver and limiting it to the
American product they voted the
populist platform at the last minute.
Today the memorial came up in the
senate and a thrown from piller to
post and finally postponed for two
weeks.

amendment providing to strike out

Mr.. HebaI's bill which had been re-
ported unIavOrahly by the committee

Senator Doran's bill legalizing the
incorporation OF Woonsocket also
passed.
Mr.. Rice's bill requiring the county
clerk to keep a record OF the insane
passed as did bill 81 to remunerate
Frank Stanton for expenditures dur
ing the Indian war.
Mr.. Aldriche's bill which reduces the
time for gaining divorces TO six
months was reported f~avorab!y by
the committee and Mr.. Aid ich thinks
there is no doubt that it will pass the
senate. ~
Senator McGee's bill for the abol-
ition OF the grand jury was favorably
reported, but a minority report was
also presented against it.
In the house a spirited contest took
place over Mr.. Donohue's bill defining
alcoholic liquors as those having more
than four percent alcohol. A spirited
debate took place, Messers. Donohue
and Glass strongly advocating the
measure. They stated that under
this bill the prohibitory law would be
much easier enforced than at pres, mt,
that liquors containing less than A
per cent were not Intoxicating AMI

Heretofore it has been the costume
of state officers and managers OF state
institutions to print their annual re-

specific provision of law to that effect.
Senate bill 80 prepared by state
Auditor Nipple and introduced by
Mr.. Shamber gives specific authority
for printing such reports defining how
many copies of each report shall be
printed.
Auditor Nipple a invited to APP
pear before the senate and explain
the provisions of this bill ana the
reasons of it's passage which he did to
the satisfaction of the senator's, and
the bill passed without opposition.
Johnson OF Lake county presented
a petition from his county asking for
authority for townships to supply

Among the bills favorably reported
for n blind asylum at Gary. This
was introduced by Mr.. G%ulickson and
provided for turning an empty court
house at Gary into an asylum for the
blind. Also senate resolution grant
ing relief to settlers on the Wahpeton,
Slsseton and Crow reservations.
Bill 1913 aholishing the office of labor
statistics was killed by the State
Affairs committee.
Treasurer Phi lips is all smiles to-
day and the other state officials are
sharing in his pleasant feelings. The
treasury now has more cash than is
required to meet the outstanding
obligations and from this time on
there is no doubt that all warrants
will be paid in cash. A few days ago
there was sent out an interview with
the treasurer in which he gave a state.
ment of the financial situation OF the
treasury and indicated now he pro-
posed to float the state securities.
To-day he received from Chicago a
telegram from q prominent firm of
bankers stating that they had read
the interview and that If the warrants
were not all gone they wanted fifty
thousand dollars OF them.
The treasurer wired back that they
could secure them and named the price
at the par, six percent. He received
an immediate reply that the cash
had been placed to his credit. Mr..
Phillips hos also had a number of
other offers and he states that he will
begin paying the warrants in cash on
Monday and will henCeforth be able
to take up all warrants as fast as
they are presented. There will be no
trouble in selling all the warrants
necessary from this time out. This
is a gratifying condition of affairs and
it is largely due to the efficiency Of the
state treasurer who has shown HIM
self to be the right man in the right
place.
