THE LEGISLATIVE GRIND

The joint legislative committee ap-
pointed to investigate w. w. Taylor's
management of the state treasury, had a
sitting today and ex-Gov. Mellette was
the only witness heard. The committee
holds secret sessions but it is under
stood that Gov. Mellette simply repeated
what he has heretofore given to news
paper men. John I. McChesney, Of
New York, and several Chicago gentle
men are expected to appear before the
committee.
Up to date Attorney General Crawford
has filed attachments to rs quarter sec
tions of land belonging to Taylor and
his bondsmen. The fact this land had
recently been decided Or Inortgaged to
Wells, of Chicago, is considered as fav-
orable 10 the state and simpllties the
work OF securing good title.
The house passed a few bills Of local
nature today. Smith, of McCook, intro
duced a bill to allow civil townships TO
issue bonds to aid the needy to procure
seed grain.
In the senate Wilson introduced sew
eral bills amending the general school
laws. MCGEE offered a bill authorizing
courts to hear and determine prosecu-
tion upon information for crimes, mis-
demeanors and o~ffenses and to abolish
the grand inrv- axcant, when the court
shall otherwise order.

OTHER FADs FORBIDDEN.

Whatever society may be permitted to
do in games of chance, n thing is GER
tain, newspapers will not be allowed to
make 1t known. Even the melon seed
and bean contests are brought under the
ban of lotteries and newspapers are for
hidden to advertise them in any form.
The following appears from Washington
under date of the 10Th inst:
Assistant Attorney General Thomas,
of the postoffice department, has made
some impairment rulings governing
o~tferses of a lottery nature. In connec-
tion witlSnewspaper notices the depart
ment rules that it is immaterial whether
the result of a lottery drawing is pub
lished as news without pay, or as an adj
vertisement with pay. Newspapers con-
tanning TIE result of the awarding of
such prizes are non-mailable. The only
exceptions made are in thecases OF news
papers publishing such matter in order
to expose the concerns and crush or Grip
pie their business, a policy which is held
to be ia line with the spirit Of the law.
In u decision Judge Thomas says it ia
clear that the law makers intended to
make newspapers on-m ailable that con-
tanned matter concerning lotteries which
is merely intended as news for public
reading.
The department also decides that the
awarding OF a prize to the person guess
ing nearest the number OF seeds in q
watermelon would be a lottery, though
the guessing Of the weight of a melon
would not constitute a lottery il the
guesses were mi de after the melon had
been lifted. The award of a prize to one
suggesting the number Of beans in a
clear glass bottle, in plain view, is also
held to be Il lottery.
The only way OF removing the chance
element is to announce the size of the
vessel and the size of each article put
iato it, which, however, would not spply
10 beans, corn or other articles of var
liable size and shape, as the number
could not then be computed even ap-
p~roximately.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Official Reports show Greatly Increased
Interest.

Official Reports Show Greatly Increased
Interest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Oficial reports
of the board OK road inquiry show that
increased interest is being taken in the
good roads movement, and that a large
proportion of the railroad companies
have agreed to further the movement by
Offering very low rates whenever any
general movement is started. General
Roy Stone, in charge of the bureau, who
has been spending ONE weeks attend
ing road conventions in the West, as
the representative of the agricultural
department, has returned to Washing
on. In reviewing the progress of the
movement, General Stone said:
I'm Indiana and Missouri, great inter
est is being taken in the movement. In
Nebraska there is not much need for
geaeral road improvement except in the
river counties, owing to the naturally
good roads, helped lately by the very
dry weather. Kansas is interested in
the question and anxious to make the
improvements and the Legislature will
undoubtedly take up the matter and
make decided changes in legislation.
Southern States Moving.
Nearly all of the Southern states are
taking some steps in road building,
either by increased use of convict labor.
or by county bonding. Michigan viii
take some steps to make it's county road
laws more successful. A very general
movement is in progress in Wisconsin.
In New Jersey state aid will probably be
doubled In amount this year. The Mas
sachusetts state commission has asked
for OIL 900, 900 to expend in the construc-
ton of state roads. There is some on
position to it, but the appropriation will
be granted. &
The general opinion favors convict
and tramp labor for road Improvement.
The main idea is to use state prison con-
victs in preparing road materials, work
ing in quarries where they a be
guarded, and to use tramps, county
prisoners and short term convicts i'm
matchmaking the roads"

ACTS OF VIOLENCE

For Settlement.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 22.-Acts of violence
in the supposed interest Of the strikers
have been almost continuous I'm one part
or another of the city for the last 4S
hours. During the night, trolley wires
were cut in all directions, those who
performed the work. escaping detection.
Early in the day a mob blocked the Sew
errh avenue line from Twelfth to
Twentieth streets, moving off from one
place as IT," militia approached, and con-
g~regating u short distance away a few
moments later, thus avoiding q collision
with the representatives of the law,
while effectually stopping traffic for
O than am hour. About s O'Clock a
mob, numbering a thousand or more,
stoned "a Summer avenue car near Broad
way and Flushing avenue An ambu-
lance call indicates that some a has
been injured, but at the present writing
particulars are lacking. Forty-eight
patrolmen are off duty on sick leave,
most Of it caused by owe exertion.

hang about the stations where the mill
tary are posted and annoy the soldiers
by jeering and pelting them. At night
the pickets were subjected to these at
tacks. Missiles flew around them in
the darkness and they could not retail
ate. The Brooklyn Heights railroad
company tried to run some cars on the
Fulton street line, but had TO abandon
the attempt. The motormen were awed
by threats into leaving their cars upon
the street and giving up all attempt to
continue their work. All OF the cars
on this line were stoned, the windows
broken and their motor boxes rendered
useless. The company ran some cars ON
the Court street and Putnam avenue
lines. They were not molested much
and the reason for the limited accom-.
mediation was said to be owing to the
fact that the companies cannot secure
sufficient men to run the cars.
schieren Not Discouraged.
The hope of a peaceful settlement of
the trouble has not been abandoned.
Mayor Schieren said to a reporter of the
Associated Press that he had not yet lost
heart, and that he would attempt to
effect a compromise. A board Of arbi-
tration and q committee of strikers will
discuss the situation during the after
noon. The men now hold out on only
one point-that IL the strike is declared
of, all the men now on strike shall be
taken back, and the new men employed
during the strike sent back to their
homes. The mayor believes that the
companies which now seem obdurate
will recede from their position, and al
low the men to return.
AT 10 a. m. Is cars ON the Seventh
auenu lines Of the Atlantic avenue sys-
tenn had been put in operation. Thirty
Inotormen reported at the deyot before 9
o'clock. Those not on cars are held in
reserve. ..-

Two important events come up for
formal action in the South Dakota legis-
lature today the election of United
States senator to succeed Hon. r. F.
Pettigrew, to which position Mr.. Petit
grew himself succeeds, and the action Of
the senate on the resubmissicn bill.
This is a matter OF much doubt the vel
ate being very close, although it is ex-
pected to carry. The warm senatorial
contest in Minnesota will also come to-
day for final settlement in both houses,
but here the struggle will doubtless be
more prolonged than in South" Dakota.

commissioners Have a Big Job Settling Up
Claims.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Jan. 2l.-Hon. w.
M. Wilson, chief clerk of the commits
sion sharged with preparing a list of the
claims of Dies Moines river land settlers
for the indemnity provided by congress,
Is now at Fort Dodge, and fairly at work
on his big task. The adjustment of
the claims is a serious work, because
the amount appropriated is not half
enough to satisfy claimants, and they
will not be satisfied with any arrange
ment that can be made. The present
appropriation amounts to $210, 900, and
Mr.. Wilson will audit all claims and
apportion the fund among them. The
commissioners will come ont later and
make an examination to learn If his APP
portionment is fair, Many of the peo-
pie with whom settlements are to be
made are old men and wonen who have
spent literally their lives in litigation
for the title to their homes. They set
tied N the lands long before the war,
and later it was claimed by virtue of
grants made by congress to the Des
Moines Navigation and Improvement
company. 1t seems likely that the at
tempt to settle will make more trouble
than was yer experienced, even in the
stormy days of evictions.

A Haunted Humber Csmp.

Strange tales come from the Sourd- nahunk region in regard to Jack Reed s depot camp on tho road leading to Strickland's mountain The camp is built over the grave of Q man who was killed in some unknown way, and the woodsmen say the place is haunted At any rate on every moonlight night lis tener outside the camp can hear the sound of rolling stones that apparently are grating, grinding, rattling, plunk- ing each other, as though sliding down a steep bank.
 Diligent search has been made for the source of this strange noise, but 50 far no one has solved the mystery. Old lumbermen remember that the camp has been considered to be haunted for years, and the sound of the rolling stones has been heard on many a moonlight night in the past. Many lumbermen who arc on their way into the Sourdna. hunk region prefer to push by the depot camp and take night tramp rather than sleep over 'that grave and hear those grinding, rolling stones.

lNn0lLE.T4K DECLSLON.

The decision of the Supreme court on the income tax.js divided one. The denial Of the right to tax the in terest on State, county and muni- ciple securities is put in a light SC strong that fl is at once seen such q power would greatly cripple all forms of raising money 10 meet nec- essary expenses in emergencies, be- ing virtually equivalent to the power to prohibit. Far less satisfactory is the reasoning as to incomes de rived from rents; though, if land lords should add the tax to the rent als, it is plain the burden would be on tenants, who have enough, God knows, 10 pay already.
 It is thought the effect of the de cision will be to reduce the revenue about S10, GOO, 900 from what was cal culated upon. The first idea was that total of $30, 900, GOO would be derived from the tax, but it was de- veloped that twice or three times that sum per annum are in sight. At any rate, the finances are so i'm proved that an extra sessson will not be necessary, as | sufficient reve- nue is provided without it.

After several half hours had been whiled away in smoking and in conversation the dinner was at last announced, and we were summoned into tho other hall
 As soon as we had entered the off, cials began to diYest themselves of some Of their clothing, for parts of natives wearing apparel seriously incommode him in taking food. We took our places at q large rectangular table. which was heaped with food of all kinds in brazen dishes of hemispherical shape. For the first course we had soup and sul, which is kind of wine, and for the second the walters handed around some of the oth- CT dishes which stood on the table. These contained meats of various kinds beef, pork and fried fish cut in thin yellow slices. At this juncture there en- tered several Korean singing girls, clad in the gaudiest costumes, and whose business 1t was to make themselves gem orally agreeable when at banquet, for they constitute all the female society that there is In that country. Their sing ing was not what an American would call good, nor was their dancing. but their conversation and presence certain ly added zest to tho occasion.
 Long as it is, a Korean banquet eventually comes to an end, and this one closed with adecoction of pear juice eolored crimson and spieed with pine nuts. This we slipped at our leisure, while the attendants lighted pipes for us. After watching the performances of the singing girls we summoned our chairs and were carried to our various home, l at least feeling much wiser by having participated in one of the queer customs of queer people ''-St. Louis Globe Democrat
