DEATH OF SERGEANT WILLIAM B. SMITH.

Ia solemn contrast to the manner in which old glory was flung to the
breeze in the court house yard in this city last May when Company NJ left
in response to its country call to duty, the national colors we're placed
at haf-mast last Saturday and the passing breeze. as if in sympathy with
those who mourn, seemed but to toy listessly with the folds of the hy.
A pail OF gloom, a sense Of irreparabIc loss, still rests over the city and
OF sorrow are heard on every hand. for over the wires Friday
evening was heralded the sad intelligence that Sergeant William B. Smith
there might be some error IN the cablegram, but the report was verified
by the official list of killed appearing in the papers which arrived Satur
day morning. Wounded while on duty, Sergeant Smith was taken to the
rear, where he expired shortly after.
Will Smith is dead-the thought seems too sad to be true, and yet,
the announcement comes as it has come a thousand times before, bringing
sorrow inexpressible to relatives and grief unreasonable to friends and
comrades. Sergeant Smith was a brother to Mrs. Cassius M. Leedy and
enlisted soon alter the local company S armory was opened as a recruiting
station in the earlier days of the Spanish-American war. A few weeks
prior to his death he had been acting commissary sergeant, but it seems
luy a y soldier and as a officer: He was a young man of exemplary
habits, of exceptionally bright disposition and one whose acquaintance
called forth admiration from all. He was a favorite among his comrades
md since going to Manila had become we'll known to the entire regiment.
Will was a member of the high school and would have grad uated there
from last spring. He leaves a brother Jack" in the same company.
When the command to "cose up ranks is given there will ever be a
gap, a break in the line. None can take the place of the genial whole
souled Will, and the best that can be offered are words of coincidence to
hose whose hearts bleed in this hour of grief, and as long as life shall last
evere and hold sacred the memory of Sergeant Will Smith-as brave a
ions long list o! martyrs, none have made greater srcriice than he.

formed a remarkable feat. Some time

was taken up. A select audience was
invited to he IT the professor, who de-
claimed from 8 o'clock in the evening
until 2 O'Clock the next afternoon. The
reclter stopped occasionally, but it was
not because lie had forgotten the poem,
1t was simply to moisten his tongue
with sugared water. He won his wager,
for the aud nee had to confess that
he got thror h the Is, 1000 verses, more
or less, of which the poem is composed.

FROM THE LEGISLATURE.
Full Report Of the Doings Of the
Peoples Lawmakers at
the Capital City.

Pierre, S. d., Feb. 26.-The SEN
ate devoted all of Saturday after
noon to the dispensary bill, and fin
ally carried 1t to a secoud reading
before ad%journin4. The bill will
come up for final action monday.
The principal amendment adopted
was to wipe out the appropriation
which it carries, and insert in it's
stead provisions allowing the differ
ent counties to issue what are to be
known as dispensary warrants for
the purpose Of putting the law into
operation. These warrants are is
sued with a provision that they are
to be paid out Of the profits of the
dispensaries to be established.
A fight was put up on an amend
ment by Bouck that the law was to
remain imperative until it had been
submitted to the people for appro-
val. This was simply killed.
AS the bill now stands, with the
appropriation feature cut out, it
will not require two-thirds to carry
it, and there is no question as to t.
passing the senate, and n fact both
houses.
A sentiment is being worked up
among house members today to take
up the dispensary bill as it passes
the senate, and push it through un-
der suspension Of the rules, and on
motion of the previous question.
The senate has put in three days
on it besides the work of the com
mittee for most Of the session, and
if discussion is ever allowed in the
house. the rest of the session will
be devoted to that n proposition
alone.
A general canvass of membe S
this afternoon shows but little oppo-
sition to this proceeding in the sen
ate. But one mai declared that he
had supported the measure at the
polls and favored such a law, and
Will, the majority was in opposition
to the theory, most of them accept
ed it as inevitable and supported it.
In the house there are probably not
half a dozen who believe IN the
theory, out the majority will sup
port it on the same ground that Sc.
cured for it in the senate and push
it through.
A written opinion by Attorney
General Pyle was presented, holding
that the oil inspection bill passed by
the house on Friday was in conflict
with the provisions of the interstat.
commerce law, which provides fer
tests at ports of entry, aud the pro-
vision preventing the shipment into
the state of cheaper grades of oil
was in conflict with the provisions
of the constitution.
The house passed the following
list of bills: A general lien law, de-
tining duties of road overseers in un.
organized counties, providing meth.

Curiosities of Our Calendar.

there are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin on
wednesday, Friday Or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every
twenty Years. October always begins
on the same day of the week as Janu-
airy, April as July, September as De-
cember. February, March and Novem-
Der begin on the same day. May. June
and August always begin on different
days from each other, and every other
month in the year. The first and last
days of the year are always the same.
These rules do not apply to leap year,
when comparison is made between
days before and after Feb. 20.
