The scientific study of earthquakes,
which has been going on for about
forty years. has led To the conclusion
that the greatest number of earth
quakes are caused by the action of
water on soft strata lying beneath
harder formations Of lock, resulting in
the sudden settling of the surface.

Iior of the earth laS been largely dis
proved by the facts gathered in seis-

Pierre March 6:-The legislature to-
day defeated the bill appropriating
$4,000 to pay the premiums awarded
by the board OF agriculture at the
state fairs and there is wide spread
criticism upon it's actions. The state
fair is an institution authorized by
the board Of agriculture and is com.
posed OF state officials. Their offer
ing premiums therefore is an offer OF
the state and the fact that a crop
failure last year reduced receipts OF
the board and prevented it's paying
the premiums Is no fault OF the board.
This sum Is properly the states debt
and there is the strongest kind of
moral obligation in favor OF it's pay
ing it. Mr.. Colvin made q vigorous
and powerful! plea on the floor tor the
payment OF this sum but the major
lty OF the house defeated him. Thus
some hundreds OF farmers who have
paid the expense OF exhibit ngat fairs
and who have o premiums vary
ing from So to $50 must wait still
longer for their money.
Mr.. Bowman's bill abolishing grand
lurles has at last passed both houses
and will be signed by the governor.
Ihe credit for this measure should be
divided between Mr.. Boland and Sem
ator McGee. The latter drew the two

giving the other to Mr.. Rowland, an /

lime out any county may, at its op-
ton, do away with grand juries and
bring suit upon the information OF the
prosecuting attorney.
The Mccoy trial is e and Justice
Yarne!l bound Mr.. Mccoy over to the
grand jury, liking the bond at ! 1000.
The justices decision was as follows:
The able manner in which the mo-
lions have been made and presented
on the one side and resisted on the
other leaves 1t no small or easy mat
ter to pass upon, but upon reviewing
the matter carefully | find a slight
connection OF Mr.. Mccoy with the
other defendants in conversations had
In Chicago, but there is sufficient evi.
dence produced, in my opinion, justi-
lying u further continuance in this
preliminary hearing, and therefore |
will have to overrule the motion for a
dismissal at this time"
1t has been understood from the
start that Mccoy would be held, since
1t IS almost a precedent for a Justice
OF the peace to deny the application OF
the attorney general OF the state.
The general belief is that Mr.. Craw.
tofd has made out no case against
Mccoy further than to show what
Mccoy testified to himself upon the
