explained that in his neighborhood there
are a dozen or more houses that became
vacant in 1894 and were not occupied from
that time until two or three weeks ago.
Then new faces appeared IN the neigh

4 Great Increase.
All the employees of the water depart
ment say that everything points 10 an
enormous increase in the receipts before
many weeks 90 by. The demand for wa
ter is not so noticeable as yet in the resi-
dence portions OF the city as in the lods-
ing and business houses. One office build
ing that few months ago was running
a very small water bill with the city and
sometimes found IL difficult TO meet it's
payments. has more than doubled its bin
and viii triple it before another month
goes by. Other business buildings are
filling up and the man who can today
get an office Just where he wants it, is
very lucky. The great majority are will
ing 70 accept anything in the shape Of Of
fees they can secure. Owners of several
buildings which have been neglected for u
year past because OF scarcity of tenants,
are rubbing their hands, muttering things
about prosperity being here and incident
ally letting contracts for the complete
renovation of their properties.

In . Peck OF Trouble.

A dentist Of Chelsea. Mass. the other
day was In peck Of trouble for few
minutes. When It was all over, though.
the incident seemed laughable enough.
The explosion Of vulcanizer In his
laboratory tipped over an oil stove and
caused that to- blow up also. Burning
oil ran down into q two-gallon can
flied with Kerosene. This the dentist
seized and started for the bathroom.
His wife was SO excited that she fell
into the bathtub, which was full Ot
water. The doctor placed the blazing
can on the door, pulled his wife out Of
the tub, took up the can again and
ran with 1t back to the laboratory,
where it exploded with terrific force.
The fire department had been sum-
moned. When the fremen arrived the
dentist showed them where the fire
was. Feeling faint he started to 80
down stairs to get some outer air. The
stairs were full Of iiremcn. The den
fist made 4 flying leap over their
heads and when he picked himself uT
Il was with sprained ankle. The fire
was put ont and the dentist b now
laid up for REPAIRS

Monday.

Representative D0llard, Republican, in
trOduced joint resolution in the house on
the 18th declaring 'that the long continued
practice by the railway companies of this
state OF making excessive charges on their
interstate traffic, consisting of more than
~ per cent. of their business in the state,
with the absence of competition between
dlHerent railway companies occupying the
same territory and the want of power in
the state government to regulate such traf-
nc, is just cause for the prevailing COM
paint against railway management and
demands earnest and effective cOnsidera-
ton at the hands of our representatives in
congress, and they are requested to use
their efforts and influence to secure the en-
actment by congress of law that shall
vest the interstate commerce commission
with power to fix maximum rate of
charges for all interstate traffic on rail-
roads, by which provision for reasonable
income on the just value of railway prop
critics shalt the place of the present
practice of charging all the traffic will bear"

tr0duced in the house as follows: Abolish
ing civil townships; providing for the ap-
pointment Of deputy oil inspectors in coun-

The development of a system of state
school books, to be furnished to the people
Of South Dakota at the actual expense of
production, would do much to afford re-
lief from the exactations of monopoly,
which has long been overbearing and
greedy. The prices demanded for school
text books are 50 much higher than the
prices paid for other books Of like style that
no further proof Is required to show that
school book publishers are demanding an
exaggerated profit which the public il JUS

cape from it. The practice Of paying
heavy salaries to agents and allowing large

Thursday.

Both houses in joint session listened to
the reading Of Gov. Lees message Thurs
day afternoon, and the opinion prevails
that it is an exceptionally good one. The
house, by resolution, provided for the
reading ri Gov. Sheldon's message,
but some OF tho members passed
along word that when he started in to
read it motion would TO made to dis
pcnse with its reading. Gov. Sheldon
learned of this and did not put in an APP
pearance. His message, covering forty
pages, deals in figures and reports Of state
officers during the past two years.
In the house Representative Michaels of
Codington County, introduced the first four
bills, which are: To create tho Office of
public examiner and define his duties; to
provide for an appeal from the county
board of equalization to the circuit court;
to provide for the protection Of person and
property from traction engines on high
ways; to regulate charges Of express COM
panics and to fix maximum rates. Mr..
Holmes introduced bill tn protect ante
iopc and elk; Mr.. Summers, joint me-
mortal to congress asking for the passage
of the Cameron resolution for the relief Of
Cuba. The much talked Of Wheeler rail-

There is much dissatisfaction among all
the members OF athe legislature that tho
railroad bill, the most important measure
of the session, should have been sprung
while SO many members were still absent.
The senate committees will each contain
the names OF three republicans as a matter
Of courtesy.
In regard to appointments Gov. Lee says:
'Therc are about 100 applicants for each
Office within my gift. Only three or four of
these are desirable. am not going to
make any appointments right away, and it
may be n week before l get to them. am
