PIERRE, Feb. 70, 1899.
The stormy times which are
SO usual toward the end of every
Legislative session have been the
feature of the past week. For
the frs time since the conven
ing of the legislature the mem
bers from the northeastern part
of the state have failed to vote
solidly to sustain the organiza
ton. The break occurred Friday
when Wilson of Mar shall county
voted with the solid populist
minority to over-rule the speak
er; as he had been we'll used in
the matter of committee places.
his bolt is regarded as treachery
to the republican party.
The bills of Importance passed
during the week were the Oil in
spection bill, and the bill requir-
ing life insurance companies to
pay their full policy without con
test if three annual payments
had been made. The Oil inspec-
ton bill provides that there shall
ne ports of entry, Milbank by
the way is made one Of them, all
oil must come through these
ports and there shall be deputy
Inspector at each, a gravity test
is also provided for. The attor.
ney general has decided that the
bill is unconstitutional and it is
proposed to change it to conform
with his suggestions,
People residing in the country
will remember that at next Tues
days election the supervisors
must be elected for terms Of one,
two and three years and not for
a single year as formerly.
The senate has been wrestling
with the dispensary bill and
after amending it all out shape
has passed it. There is strong
sentiment in the house that a
good bill must be passed or none
at all, and a certainty that the
senate bill will not pass.
The Aberdeen school bill again
passed the house on Monday aud
the same day the Watertown bill
was defeated but it will be re
considered. The senate has
passed a bill for a new dormltory
for the Madison Normal school,
which will be appreciated by the
many students who have in past
been compelled to hunt up quar-
ters in private families.
Grant county has been well
represented during the past
week. August Hovland, Nels

his family arriving on Tuesday.

BY NJ. QUAD.

One evening, as l sat smoking with
the Postum Hunter Of Tennessee, 1
aske him to relate bear story, and af-
ter he had been urged for a time he
said:
Its bout seven years since l caught
sight of my last bar around these parts,
and that varmint gin me good cause to
remember him. l didn't know that
was a bar around till he come down
the mountain one night and carried
off my only pig. l went huntin' fur
him, but he kept shy. Two nights later
he come back and almost skeered my
old mewl to death. Then | set a trap
fur him, but instead of walkin' into it
he tore down the henhouse and tipped
over the rain bari. For three nights
arter that l was on the watch fur him,
but he didn't show up. On the fo'th
night l went to bed, and that varmint
took advantage of it to pay another call
and kill my dawg. Then got powerful
mad and said to the old woman:
ut bein' summer time that-b'ars fur
amt good fur nuthin, but I'm goin' to
sot out and hunt him to his death befo'
l rest. He thinks hisself a mighty
smart bar, but he's playing tricks on
the wrong man"

Abel several thousands vars ago, but
let street car conductor of to-day
work off bogus nickle on a passenger
and de victim holds up his hands in
amazement at de wickedness OF de
world. De man who expects goodness
and honesty of his fellow men must
often wonder why Holsters don't fly.
i do not like a man who talks too
much, and l suspect man who goes
about sayin' muffin to nobody. De one
who says jest 'nuff may be hard to find.
but he's worth huntin' fur aud keepin'
in sight.
Few men look back ober DER past
lives widout findin heaps O. places
where dey made mistakes. Where YOU
find one who has made no mistakes
you hev got hold of an idiot. De mis-
takes of life are de grindstones ON
which de victims sharpen DER wits and
avoid repetition.
No man of sense expects his follow
man to run along in a rut all his life
time, and yet we nebber furgive our
dog is he bites us or our horse if he
runs away. We either expect too much
or too little.
de man wild brains may inveigh

ey to brains, but give pusson $4,000
and he will git mo- enjoyment out Of
it dan he would out OF a head as big

it out to my satisfaction dat 1e middle
and de safest course am to put on a
grin and do no talkin'.
Il hev allus given human natur'
credit fur one pertickler thing above all
others. No matter how mean a man
is durin his lifetime, he Is only fairly
under ground when everybody flrds
sunthin' to praise, and his friends erect
a tombstone with half dozen false
hoods engrayen on its face. Truth may
injure the Twin, but II looks decent 10

Our troubles are made the lighter
by sharing them with some one else
This is not only consoling to us. but 1t
gives the other person something to

a mean man who won't take UP tho
burdens of another.
None of us would have the world as
it is If we could have our way, but that
we cannot have our way IS probably q

Want Money

F, lookout for the man from Florence,
and no matter how busy we are we
shall not keep him waiting over two
or three minutes.
THEY WANT OUR SCALP.
On several different occasions we
have come out in cold print and given
the people of Lone Jack some fatherly
advice as to how to run their town.
There was no egotism nor conceit min
glad with our advice. AS mayor Of
Giyedam Gulch for the last three years
we have picked UP a pointer or two,
and we were not charging Lone Jack
a cent for our experience. We have
limited that if we were boss Of the
town about one-third of the population
would have TO hang or git. We have
intimated that the mayor lacked sand
and that his town marshal wore a gun
for ornament. Last week we published
an item to the effect that Lone Jack
might be raked with fine tooth comb
hitlOuC iAbutilo ltcsI anu tuGJ
the place was disgrace to civilization
We hoped the people over there would
realize the situation and institute re-
form, but it seems they are welded to
their ways. They have also got an
idea that we are trying to kill the town,
and at a public meeting called on
wednesday evening we were denounced
as a liar, slanderer, charlatan, hypo-
critic and many other things: 1t was
also resolved that it was a sort of holy
duty to exterminate us on sight, and
that a copy. OF said resolutions be mail
ed to our address. They have been duly
received, and we suppose that all the
good citizens of Lone Jack are watching
the highways for our approach. We
nave nothing to take back, however,
and shall continue to receive subscrip-
tons from the town as heretofore.
AN INTERRUPTED SPEECH.
At the instance Of Mayor Jackson and
other prominent citizens of Grass VAL
ley, we went over to that town one
night last week to speak in favor of
the new Bear Valley railroad. We were
informed that the entire community fa-
Vored the project, and that a good deal
OF enthusiasm might be looked for. We
saw things in this light until we had
been introduced to the audience at The
court house and got off about hundred
words of our speech. Then came a

and suddenly the head OF circus pro-
