SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE.
TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Pierre, March 1.-The governor has
signed the pure food bin. This law
prevents the adulteration of lard,
jellies, spices, condiments, baking
powder, vinegar, honey, candy, "or
any article of food whatsoever" and
prescribes a fine of not less than $25
nor more than $50, with alternative
imprisonment. upon all persons who
offer such articles for sale or who
have them in their possession.
Adulteration Is described in the act
as including the admixture Of any
substance that weakens the genuine
product, depreciates its quality, Is
cheaper Or Inferior, or Is coll
ored or treated in any manner
that tends to conceal inferiority or
make it appear better or Of greater
value than IL really is. Adulterated and
"doctored" articles of food may be
sold only when they bear a label con-
tanning the word ''adulterated" plain
ly printed in a conspicuous place upon
the package. The measure Is far
reaching in it's application, and IL
strictly enforced will drive all adul-
terations and shams from the mar
ket and have the effect OF compelling
manufacturers to give the people the
quality OF goods for which they are
willing to pay.
Senate Appropriations.
The senate spent the morning ses-
sion In the reconsideration of special
appropriation bills. 1t passed the bill
appropriating $4,000 for the new
buildings and improvements at Yank-
ton asylum, and also the bills for
$1,000 for a creamery building, $4,000
for a steam heating plant and drill
hall and $4,000 for an annex, all for
the Brookings agricultural college.
The house refused TO confer on the
last named item and the senate vas
forced to strike it out. The senate also
gave $4,000 for n hospital at the sol
diers' home and $19,0 900 to cover de-
f~iciencies in the maintenance and fuel
fund IN the insane asylum. Bills were
passed to pay judgments against the
state held by James Morgan, county
of Lyman and the Jewell Nursery
company.
The senate bill appropriating
$40, 500 for improvements at Brook
ings college was killed. The bill APP
propriating money to cover de-
~iciencies in accounts Of railroad com
missioners passed. An attempt to kill
the osteopathy bill on file failed, as
did an attempt to advance the house
joint resolution resubmitting the dis
pensary question.
House bills passed by the senate
we're: The engineer license bill, which
was amended to apply only to insti-
~tutions which employ five or more en-
gineers under charge of a master me-
chanic; the house game bill, which,
when amended, reduces the license
fee for nonresident hunters to $40,
and minor amendments, and fixing
terms of court in the Fifth judicial
district.

the marvellous. In truth, some Of their at
tainments are Of such complex difficulties
that it frequently passes with but little
more notice from the public than their sim
pler displays, solely because the audience
can follow its intricate and perplexing par
adox. 1t not infrequently happens that
when a particularly hazardous feat is &C
ccmplshed the strongest and most pro-
nounced applause will come from the entry
wherein the other actors of the show may
invariably be found ranged as spectators
when the Stirks are on This tribute to
their genius from their fellow performers
is as unusual as it is spontaneous. and tes-
titles to their superiority more eloquently
than any eulogy possibly could. When an
act can hold the attention Of actors as
that of the Stirks does, it may indeed be
said to be truly great.
