Governor General Henry Orders Dis
solution of Insular Cabinet.

San Juan De Porto RIG Feb. g.
Governor General Henry has ordered
the dissolution OF the insullr cabinet
and substitutes for it, the departments
of state, justice, finance and interior.
The order announces that II having
become evident to General Henry af-
ter a careful trial Of two months, that
the insular cabinet does not correspond
with American methods Of progress,
he declares it's dissolution.
General Henry's action in removing
the insular cabinet was impelled by
the disposition of the members to dis
regard him and by their objection to
the temporary substitution Of Ameri-
can officers in the department of pub
lie instruction and department Of pub
lie works, both Of which departments
belong TO the interior department in
accordance with the generals best
judgment as to the policy to be fol-
lowed.

The recovery of William Davitt, the
lad who was accidentally shot last Fri
day while playing with a companion,
Joe O'Hara, seems now a probability.
Yesterday afternoon the bullet was re-
moved by Drs. Thompson, Garvey and
Bernstein, who probed and found it
lodged just beneath the heart. The lad
rallied well from the effects of the
operation. The bullet was 80 calibre
one.
The shooting cCurred last Friday af-
ternoun. O'Hara had a small pistol
and while the boys were playing to-
gether it was discharged in some man.
ner and the bullet entered young Da-
Wits body in the region of the heart.
The wounded lad is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. III. Davitt, Of Drinker street.
and is only Il years of age. The fam
lily have had considerable trouble latn-
ly. They buried an infant daughter
yesterday. and Mr.. Davitt is confined
to his residence with a spraned ankle,
caused by falling Friday night while on
his way for the doctor when his son
was wounded.

in An empty farm house northwest of
town. The prisoners had full act of
burglar tools and they appeared to be
pretty tough lot. They were finally as
sociated with the robbing of the post
office at Tripp and we're turned over to
the federal authorities, and tried at
Deadwood last Friday, after having
been indicted. Mr.. Cook says that
neither of the prisoners went on the
stand in their own defence and it was
an easy matter to convict them, the
jury being out but short time and
brought in verdict OF guilty. The
ex-sheriff took the full kit of tools
with him and will keep them, as it is
possible the men will be tried for rob-
bing the Hurley postoffice. Mr.. Cook
and Mr.. Belts will very likely secure
the reward of S4O0 for the arrest of the
robbers, application already having
been made for it.

STATE LEGISLATURE
The House Made an UnWarranted Attack
on Supt. Sherrard Concerning the
Children'S Homes Bill.
Tie Legislature Took a Vacation Last
Friday Night and Convened Again
in Session Tuesday.
TWO VERY GOOD BILLS
Synopsis Of TWO Bills Which Will
Likely Pass Both Branches
Of the Legislature.
NOT MUCH DOING AT PIERRE
This Day Has Been Quiet One In the
South Dakota Legislature.

PIERRE, Feb. 9.-No new bills have
been introduced in the house for
several days past, for the reason that
the body has been occupied with the
final passage of measures. Bills in
troduced in the senate and not hereto
fore reported are as follows: By John
ston, regulating life insurance compan-
les organized under state laws; by
Benedict, regulating the establishment
of sewers in cities; by Bottum per-
mitting voters to have assistance of
judges Of election in marking ballots;
by Sites, regulating the erection Of
walls in common cities; by Gunderson,
permitting school boards to contract
for transporting children to school
houses at a distance from their homes:
by Fitzgerald, regulating the sale of
real estate for taxes; by the judiciary
committee, relating to affidavit and
publication of summons, making publ
cation full service; by the judiciary
committee, curing defects in notarial
acknowledgements in transfers of real
estate and certiifcates in territorial
times.
The house foored Superintendent
Sherrard of the Children's Home, three
time in succession the other day, when
as many bills drafted by him'in relation
to the custody and adoption of children
were under discussion. Representative
Holdridge, Of Lake county, and Rep.
resentative Woody, of Charles Mix
county, fought the bills. and the latter
took occasion to prefer grave charges
against Mr.. Sherrard. He said one OF
the bills was equivalent to legalizing
the abduction of children, and he
thought the superintendent Of the
home would do that very thing. Mr..
Sherrard's enemies say he receives $50
from lady philanthropist 1.-THE east
for every child he takes to the home,
and that he gets 1925 for every child
upon its adoption.

A SHORT VACATION.

The Legislature Adjourned Late Friday
and Assemblies Again Tuesday.
PIERRE, Feb. l0.-Both branches of
the legislature will adjourn this even
ing, taking q recess until Tuesday
morning.
The most important event of the day
was the passage in the house of the bill
abolishing the insurance commissioners
Office. The emergency clause was
stricken out. The vote stood 56, to 20.
The governor having vetoed the
Normal school bills OF Aberdeen and
Watertown and for which he has been
criticised to some extent by the inter-
ested parties, he now offers sugges-
ton that an effort be made to remove
the normal school at Springfield to
Aberdeen.
Several Plankinton citizens have
been here to push through tho meas
ure to reimburse the people there to
the amount of S4S, 1000, which sum they
advanced for the rebuilding of the
burned portions OF the re.orm school.
The house appropriations committee
returned the bill without recommen-
dation and joint committee was ap-
pointed to make visit to Plankinton
and make a survey of the new building
to ascertain as to the correctness OF
OF the bills presented. There seems to
be general feeling that the amount
expended was exorbitant and that the
state could have rebuilt it for much
less money.
| A resolution was introduced in the
house the other day by Glass thanking
Senator Kyle for his vote on the
treaty ratification, which also en- braced
a denouncing OF Senator Pettigrew for
his opposition to it. The resolution
was carried by vote Of 81 to 20. A
similar resolution was adopted in the
senate by vote Of "a to 16.

CONVICTED THEIR MEN.

Aean and Kelley, Captured in This County,
Will Go to the Penitentiary.
John Cook, NJ. c. Belts, T. B.
Haynes and Miss Belle Tyler arrived
in the city Monday afternoon from
Deadwood, where they had been to
testify in the federal court in the cases
against Kean and Kelley. Messrs.
Belts and Haynes went to their home
at Mt. Vernon. Last summer Keen and
Kelley robbed store at Mt. Vernon
and started off IN the country with what
plunder they secured. John Cook,
then sheriff, and M. C. Belts went in
pursuit of the robbers, the next day
and late in the afternoon caught them

Such was the case with the Madison
norm al hill uhioh anrnonni a tod QYE nnn

Such was the case with the Madison
normal bill, which appropriated S35, 900
for new dormitory. 1t was cut down
to $22, 900 and even then failed to get
the required number of votes.
Attorney T. 81. Null appeared before
the house appropriation committee
Monday evening, and in reply to a
question stated that while he was pleased
to have the full board of railroad COM
missioners present at Chicago during
the taking of testimony in the rate case,
there was no reason why they should
be there, and that none of them were
in . position to render him assistance
at the time, except Commissioner
Tompkins, who is an expert accountant.
The commissioners now state that they
do not recommend the payment to Mr..
Null of any sum for attorney fees in
excess OF the $40 day for which he
originally contracted. Mr.. Null. on the
other hand, says there was no contract,
but that the board agreed to pay him
that amount from funds on hand and
leave the matter of further remuner-
alton in the hands of the legislature.
Soms feeling has been exhibited in the
premises and it looks as though Mr.,
Null and the bosTd had begun to fear
that each stood in the way of the other
in the matter of future appropriations.

HOME FOR FALLEN WOMEN.
There Is Plan Afoot to Erect Such .
One In South Dakota.

There was union meeting in the
Methodist church Sunday evening un-
der the auspsces of the W. c. T. u. of
this city, and the church was crowded
to its utmost capacity, many standing
up through the services. Devotional
exercises were led by Rev. Mr.. Stevens
in prayer and Mrs. w. A. Barber, who
read the scriptural lesson. Mrs. Anna
r. Simmons, who has been doing w.
c. 7. u. work in North Dakota, read
a very interesting paper of the pro-
gress in the circles up there. Some ex-
cellent music was furnished by Misses
Boggs, Smith, Lee and Litsey. Mrs.
G. E. Hager, the president of the
Union, introduced Mrs. Manetta Tin
ney, who spoke on the subject of
Purity" Mrs. Tinney is connected
with the Northwestern Purity Associa-
ton, whose object is to rescue fallen
women and to promote pure living in
the lives of the young. She handles
her subject in manner not at all dry,
ane she clothed it in an excellent flow
of language in which she vividly de-
picted the condition OF the young peo-
pie today, as to their morality and as to
their environments for growing up to
good men and women. She touched
effectively upon the moral standard
and declared it wrong and unjust for
society to exact two standards-one for
men and another for women. Her idea
was to have but one code, TO- hold up
elevating ideals of human conduct, and
show from past aud present lessons
that individual happineiss and national
preservation must come through per-
sonal purity, morality and nobleness of
character.
| At the close OF her lecture Mrs.
Tinney stated that the mansger of the
Northwestern Purity Association had .
conference with Mrs. Luella Ramsey,
president of the state w. G. T. u, and
that the conclusion was reached betwS en-
them that home for fallen women
should be erected in South Dakota and
a collection was taken up to increase
the fund already started. The exer-
cises closed with an appropriate solo by
Mrs. Inez NJ. Owen and the benedic-
tion by Rev. A. u. D. Fraser.

BACHELORS CAN ENTERTAIN.

The Young Gentlemen Made a Distinct
Social Success of Their Return Party.
1t has been long time since Mitch
ell society has enjoyed as pleasant q
social function as occurred at The
Mitchell Friday evening. The occa-
sion was return party given by the
Bachelors Club" to the Bicycle Club,
the former being recently organized
for this particular purpose. At $3.50
the guests began arriving and after
laying aside their wraps in rooms
above they went to the dancing room
on the lower floor. On entering the
dining room one was struck with
amazement at the Transformation work
ed under the exceptionally good taste
displayed by the bachelors, all of which
was of their own handiwork. At the
folding doors two immense flags were
draped in graceful folds, and here stood
Messrs. Turner, Warne and Bowdle,
who were granted the distinction of
receiving the guests. Flags and national
colors, with several large palms, were
used in great profusion and with good
taste in decorating. The walls were
emblazoned with q number Of large
red, white and blue shields, to which
were pinned large letter "B" in
white, which emblem was not mis-
understood. Another "B" of NAM
moth proportions hung over the en-
trance to the room. From an alcove,
in the east end of the room, draped
with a large flag, refreshing drink
was served during the evening by
Oracle Beokwith and Margie Becker.
The bachelors denoted their humble
rank in life by wearing the suggestive
emblem of needle, thread and. but
| ton.
1t was shortly after 8 o'clock when
the grand march began, headed by 81.
P. Beckwith and Miss Dell Wedehase
and at the conclusion of the march the
procession was left in the form of q
letter "B." Then followed a program
of dances, every one of which added to
the enjoyment of the occasion. The
whole was scene Of pleasure, made by
the bright lights, the tasty decorations,
the happy faces and the handsome COS
| tones, and none who participated in
the festivities will ever permit it to
fade from memory. During the dance
program light refreshments were served
in an adjoining room. Rathbun's or.
chestra furnished the music and to
that excellent organization much Of the
evenings success was due. Frank
Baughman officiated as master of cere
monies.
There were about 80 guests present
limited, with the exception OF the pat
rons and patroness, to the young peo
pie.
The bachelors can take to themselves
any amount of credit for the most de
lightful entertainment of the season.
