BOTH PARTIES ARE ONfUARD
Republicans and Populists of South Dakota
Watch Official Count,
MAY PROCEED TODAY At PIERRE
Talks of Jobs, Contests and Court Or
dcrs Numerous, hut No Definite
Move Has Been
Made.

PIERRE, s. D., Dec. Especial Tele-
gram)-In accordance with an authorized
announcement of the state canvassing board,
a large number of the politicians of the state
gathered here today to be present at the
count on the presidential electors and con-
gressmen. The board delayed any action
until late hour in the afternoon, and then
only met to adjourn until tomorrow morn
ing. This started buzz among the populists
present who declared it to be a scheme
to allow the republicans time to fix a deal,
especially as it was known that some of the
republican leaders were in private conference
at the time, and rumor was In circulation
that they were preparing an application
for an order to prevent action on the part of
the board at their meeting tomorrow.
After the adjournment another conference
was held by the republicans. All that could
be learned from this was that they had
decided to make no move, but to allow the
count to proceed in the morning One of the
leading republicans of the state authorizes
tho statement that nothing would be done
to in any way hinder tho count tomorrow,
and that 1t would certainly proceed.
No application has been made to any of
the courts for orders of any kind up to this
hour and the Indications now are that all
will proceed smoothly tomorrow, the count
being made on both national and state
officers. The count of national officers must
be made within thirty days from the date
of the election and that of state officers
on the Thursday after the fourth Monday
after the election. If no move is made to-
morrow to delay the count, the contests
which a few days ago all declared them
selves ready for, will probably be dropped
and each party rest content with the offices
which the count gives it.

Humane Society to Ask Legislation In
Their Behalf.
The officers Of the Nebraska Humane soci-
ETY. met last night in the Commercial Ma
tional bank parlors for the purpose of draw
legislature, looking toward the protection OF
children who are abused and ll-treated by
their parents or guardians. The necessity
for such law was emphasized by several
cases of cruelty to children that have oc-
Cured lately. The statutes contain no pro-
visions covering such cases.
A draft of a bill was presented to the
meeting providing for the punishment,
Imprisonment for not more than six months.
of persons or parents having the custody
of children under IA years of age who i'll
treat them in the following manner: By
wilfully abandoning them, by cruelty or un-
lawfully Furnishing them, by depriving them
of food clothing or shelter by causing or
permitting their lives to be endangered or
their health injured. by causing or allowing
them to be overworked cruelty beaten, tor
tured, tormented or mutilated
The bill also gives any legally incorporated
humane society the power to become the
guardian OF minor children. 1t also gives
power to county judges to place under the
control of the society any child under IA
years of age who by orphanage or by the
neglect, drunkenness or other vice of its
parents is growing up in ignorance or in
circumstances through which it may be led
to a dissolute and vicious life.
This bill will be given to the Douglas
county delegation to be brought before the
legislature. A committee may be sent
to Lincoln TO work in its behalf.

STOCK MEN GETTING NERVOUS.
Fear They VIII Run Out of Feed Be-
fore SnrinG.

Fear They VIII Run out Of Fceu bc-
fore Spring.
Cattle in the range country are beginning
to get a little nervous in regard to the
prospects In speaking of the situation Matt
Daugherty of Ogallala said: "Of course,
storm such as we had during the past week
does not do the damage il used to in the old
days when cattle were expected to rustic
their living throughout the winter, and very
little, il any, shelter was provided for them.
The direct damage to stock from the storm
will not be great II the remainder of the
winter should be favorable. In the old days
1t would have been little less than calamity,
for the feed on the range is now all covered
with ice and cattle can rustic nothing. What
cattlemen are fearful Of is that they will run
out of feed before spring, and there Is little
doubt but that many of them will. There is a
large quantity of feed put up this year-more,
In fact, than common-but the winter has
set in so much earlier that 1t will require
a great quantity in excess of the amount
generally consumed. Beside the last storm
there was a heavy fall OF snow some time
ago and most OF the cattle have been un-
able TO get anything off of the range for
about a month now. Should the remainder
of the winter continue as II has started out
there will in all probability be considerable
loss among stock, and this will be greater
the farther into the range country you go, as
the owners do not put up as much feed as
they do further east for the very good Tea-
son that they do not have it TO put up.

to Bent the COnl trust.
CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Dec. 2.-(Specialo
The roller mill at Kimball is doing its
share toward beating the coal trust, bran
instead OF coal being utilized FOR fuel. As
is would be impossible to feed the furnace
in the ordinary way without endless toll,
Engineer Perkins invented a contrivance
that feeds the bran to the firebox automati-
cally. The ingenious device requires little,
If any, attention. The bran comes down
from a floor above the engine room in a
four-inch spout, at which point 1t strikes
a trough about seven inches square, open
at the top, running across the top OF the
boiler above the ireboN. At each end of the
trough is a three-inch spout running down
the side of the boiler into the freDoX. The
bran, as it enters the trough at one end,
drops into the first conductor to the freboS
and the overflow is carried across to the
other conductor by revolving screw. A
cutoff at each end regulates the amount
fed to the boiler. In case of IA stoppage,
an overflow spout drops the bran on the
floor of the engine room and warns the
engineer. The contrivance holds the steam
gauge to eighty pounds for hours ut time
without regulating. tt

swinging along at lively gait when he met
a seedy, tTampish-lookng fellow on the cor

the boy might have the price Of a good
