SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
Question of Importance to South Da-
kotans Is Raised at Britton Which
Involves the Liquor Law Passed
Last Winter-Other Items.
Inynlres Liquor Law.

A very interesting question has arisen at
Eritton under the liquor law passed by the
legislature last winter. An application
was made in behalf of the state and county
against the board Of trustees OF the town
of Britton Tor an injunction restraining
hem from issuing a permit to one DAVIS
20 sell intoxicating liquor in the town un-
Ill an election should be held and there
was a vote in favor OF the sale of liquor at
retail. No vote has been taken as pro-
eided in section % of the act, Judge Wells
appeared for the board Of trustees and
raised the question that section p was in
violation of one OF the provisions
OF the constitution, which re-
quires that every bill shall embrace but
one subject. which shall be expressed in
its title. Judge Wells argument was to
the effect that section % provided for the
entire prohibition of the liquor traffic, and
that the title of the act was not broad
enough to cover such provision; that the
title of the bill was intended TO cover a
license law, pure and simple, and that the
legislature could not, under such title.
introduce prohibitire provisions without
violating the constitution.

TRIBUTE TO THE STRIKERS.
Judge Collier Commends Miners for
Their Peaceful Conduct.

The hearing in the injunction case
against the striking Pennsylvania miners
came up before Judges Stowe and Collier
at Pittsburg Monday. and is perhaps one
OF the most important and interesting ever
held in a Pennsylvania court. From the
testimony adduced and from the express
sion of the court it can safely be said that
there will be some surprises. That the in
junction will be materially modified there
can be no doubt, which on its face would
indicate victory for the strikers.
Judge Collier said i'll court that the
strike would 60 down in history as one OF
the wonders of the country, remarkable
for the lack Of disorder. for which the
strikers are commended and have the SYM
pathy Of the court. He said: ''This can
be no question as TO what our duty is under
all the testimony, but l am somewhat in
doubt as TO whether or not the order should
be modified. We cannot determine this
without consultation
Judge Stowe said Monday afternoon:
"This injunction will not justify the is
suing Of an attachment against any
marchers who are not found in company
with the men named in the Injunction

Murder of Mrs. Kaufman.

Ten days ago the aged widow Of Peter
Hauptlnan, wealthy wholesale cigar
dealer Of st. Louis, was found dead in
their parlor with her throat cut from ear

demented for some years, killed her
mother. From what can be learned now
it seems that Wm. Hauptman, her brother,
may have committed the deed William,
who is Is years old, has recently developed

eELLEFoRTAlNE STIRRED UP
Excitement Over the Murder of tho
Detricks Is Growing.

There were many detectives at work in
Bellefontaine. Ohio, Sunday on the rumors
regarding the double murder OF David
Derrick and his wife. While Tony Ford
and Lew Deerwester are under arrest for
the crime it is believed there are others
who know something about it. In connec-
ton with the rumors in the neighborhood,
one man attempted suicide on his wife's
grave because he was suspected and
woman. after brooding over the horror,
took morphine with suicidal intent. Sat
urday Mrs. ChaS. Spellman relative of
the Detriclls. charged her father-i law,
Mack Spellman, with criminal assault and
there was talk of lynching the father-in-
law as well as Ford and Deerwester. but
no violence is anticipated, although the
excitement is intense.
The Developments of the past week have
been such that many are apprehensive of
the result. The sensation now is the al
legged confession of Ford to Mrs. VIM. Els
worth, previous TO his arrest. that he COM
mitted the double murder. Ford now de-
nles the confession.

Recommend Il Reduction

The board of pardons has recommends
that the fine Of $1,000 which was imposed
on Robert Doorman of Lyman County, ba
reduced to Sloo Doorman was copycted
OF cutting timber on state lands, and under
the statute the Iightest penalty whicbc
be imposed is $1,000. The penalty WAS
placed at this figure to protect the s,a,e
from large corporations which would taxa
large amounts of timber. but when it was
applied to the case of Doorman if wasa
rather severe penalty, as he had only re.
moved d few small bushes, and the ony
reason the case was ever pushed against
him was on account OF a neigbborhool
row and spite work. or at least it is 50.

INSURANCE STATISTICS.
Synopsis of the Business Done in
South Dakota in 1896.

The advance sheets of the insurance
commissioners report showing the volume
of business for 1896 in South Dakota are
out, and contain many interesting facts in
regard to fire and life insurance in the
state.
The fire risks written by foreign com
panles for the year We're ST, ,552, lS5, less
than any year since 1879, which showed
little over Sl6.000.030. The premiums re-
ceived We're S36l.44I which are less than
any year since 1891. The losses incurred
were sl65, ,439, less than any year since 1892,
with about Sl2S,000. This leaves all the
companies operating in the state balance
OF Sl9s, ,l|12: less their cost Of business.
In life insurance, all fraternal assess
ment companies except tie A. O. U. W.
are included in the business of foreign
companies, and with them included the
total risks written for the year amount to
s5,95I,I15, which is smaller amount than
1er any year since 1892, and only about half
the risks written for 1895. Premiums re-
ceived for the year amounted to sSi4 24l:
losses incurred. S222. .9l5; losses paid. S2l7.-
6S5. With a volume of business of only
about one-half of 1895, the losses incurred
are nearly equal to that year, and the
losses paid are in excess. showing that the
business was not nearly SO profitable.
ihe 1ialelhdl assessment companies
make showing which proves them to be
favorably received in the state. The \. o.
U. w leads with sl4,74S, 900 insurance in
force at the end of the year, a gain of So
