sHReDolNG CORN FOR FODDER
Considered Pref rable for Feed In
This shape.

Vermillion, March ia great deal of
corn shredding is being done in this
county. as this kind of fodder is consid-
cred by some farmers as far more pre-
ferable than any other kind for stock
feed. 1t is estimated that there is as
much feed in a ton of shredded fodder
as in a con and a half whole fodder
The corn stalks are SO torn TO pieces
that there is hardly any trace of the
stalks visible. After It Is passed through
the shredder, it is put into a light room
and there it is s%prinkled with salt so
there is little danger of spelling. The
most improved machines Musk the corn
before it goes to the shredder. TIL corn
is hauled from the shock to the shred
der and is fed" as wheat to a separa-
tor. from three to five hundred bush
els of corn can be shredded i'm a day.
owing to the past few warm days
the ice in the Missouri river is already
beginning to show signs of breaking
up and to all appearances the break up
will begin at this End of the river and
if it docs, there will be less grounds for
fear in regard to n food.
Many farmers along the river, how
ever, are hauling great quantities OF hay
10 the hills. The people in Meckling
and Gayville. north OF here, are max
ing preparations to at the first
warning.

LEGISLATORS WE'RE AROUSED
Biggest Kind Of a Row Narrowly
Averted.

! Pierre, March 9.-The last day of the
legislative session was an exciting one,
and il might have been a good deal
more so. 1t has just transpired That
nearly all the members of the senate
went armed to the session held Frlday
night and that the populists INVOKED the
aid Of the police. During the afternoon
a very bitter war had been waged on the
passage of the bill to abolish the board
OF charities and corrections, and the
measure was defeated by the republic
ans, with the assistance of Senators
Palmer. Kellar. Morgan and WILKINSON.
The president had repeatedly declined
to entertain a motion to appeal from
his decision. During the recess Ii be-
came known that the populists proposed
TO call up the measure in the evening
and if the chairman declined to enter
tain the motion. TO unseat him and place
Senator Grill in the chair. This implied
a physical contest and many went
armed, both sides being determined.
The lobby and the corridors were crowd
ed, and it was fortunate that the popu-
lists did MOI carry their threats into ex-
ecution.
In order to secure the passage of the
DpaTu Oh CndIltieS anu coiieStioii9 'Nh
and give the populists control or 200 Of
fees Governor Lee. 1t is alleged, made
overtures TO the two physician mem
bers Of the senate that If they would
vote for the passage of this bill he would
veto the osteopathy bill, which they
wanted killed. Both these senators in
dignantly declined. Other similar over
lures were made, it is claimed.

The Milwaukee road had just opened its

HARRY p. GODDARD WILL GO
Leaves the Argus-Leader for Y. Nj.
&. \, Work.

Sioux Falls, March 9.-Harry p. God
dard, for several years business man
ager of the Argus-Leader and for the
past twelve years an attache OF that
paper, has resigned his position and on
Wednesday will leave for Marion, Ind,
a town of 10000 people, where he be-
comes secretary of the Y. NJ. c.. a. Mr..
Goddard has been for years closely
identified with religious work in this
city and state and has many acquaint-
ances in South Dakota.
Sioux Falls, March 9.-P. T.. Boylan,
VINO fell dead Friday night while on his
way TO the Catholic church, was buried
Sunday afternoon. For the past thirty
years his wife has been insane and Mr..
Boylan has "a the sole care or her.
She would NOT permit the employment
OF anybody to care for the house n as
she was unable to do so, this work has
during all these years fallen upon Mr..
Boylan. Mrs. Boylan never left the
house and would permit nobody ex-
cept her husband to enter 1t. When
friends attempted to get into the house
to tell of her husbands death h
barred the doors, and when an. entrance
was forcibly effected, and she was told,
she accused those who brought the In
formation of having murdered her hus-
band. She was carried forcibly out Of
the house and Is now at the county Jail.
1t is probable that Ii will be necessary
to send her to the asylum. Mr.. Boylan
had a policy OF 81, 500 on his life, and left
a small estate to his insane wife.
Sioux Falls, March 9.-Saloon men

with the terms of the new license law
and declare that they would prefer to
do business under the prohibition law.
The prediction is freely made that not
over six saloons In Sioux Falls will OPP
crate after the law goes into effect,
while there have been as high as forty
here and are now twenty. The law per-
mits no games of any sort, abolishes
screens, tables and chairs and makes
any obstruction to h public view pre-
sumptive evidence that the law Is being
violated. Any saloonkeeper who is con-
yicted of running a disorderly house
after the law Is passed and before II
goes into effect is unable to secure a H.
cense, and as nearly all of the saloon
men are HOW under arrest for refusal to
pay the February license n will be
convicted IL their cases come to trial,
their disturbed condition OF mind can be
readily understood.
