SOUTH DAKOTA SOLONS
Work Done by the Legislature Dur.

at Pierre.
BILLS WHICH HAVE BECOME LAWS
Rccapitulation of Measures Passed
by Both Houses.-MaJority Pro-
neutrality-suspicious.
Granted,

Pierre, s. d., March s.-Quite
early i'm the session the repub-
leans went into caucus and agreed to
stand by a program of legislation. The
program ns TO the railroads was car
ried out. The general railway law, en-
acted two years ago, was not dis
turbed. The memorial to congress
passed without opposition, and liberal
provision was made for the railway
commission. The corporation portion
of the program quite generally failed,
"a variety of reasons contributing
thereto. Government features were,
on the other hand, generally success
full. All of the bills In the interest OF
elections were pushed through, but as
a number of them were more or less
of a partisan nature, Governor Lee
saw fit to interpose his veto and the
senate made the veto effective. The
bills to abolish certain Offices and
place further control in the hands OF
republicans failed without exception.
Only one, to abolish the office OF in
surance commissioners, was actually
pushed through both bodies. The
three bills for the farmers and stock
men were passed by large majorities,
and the memorial upon the financial
question had plain sailing. Laws for
the working men were enacted which
require public officers to purchase sup
plies when practicable within the
state, and especially the nine-hour-a-
day plan for public employees. For
bidding convict labor to compete with
free was beaten, but not on its merits,
as a general proposition.
Appropriations.
Several days must elapse before the
exact amount appropriated by the late
legislature will be known. The gem
eral bill for maintenance and other
expenses carried n total of $780, $50.
The special, deficiency and judgment
appropriations and legislative en-
penses will run the total to "A sum APP
preaching $4,000 The expendi-
lures authorized will more than ex-

gency warrants will no doubt have to
be issued in large numbers to meet the
requirements for cash. Following are
the items of the most interest con-
tanned in the general appropriation
act. The amounts are for the coming

Among the more important bills
which we're killed in the open or buried
in committees or unsearchable places,
were for the ~dispensary, the reorgan-
iZation OF the state fair board, the es-
adjustment Of a board of agriculture,
the Cooper revenue bill, for placing
telegraph and telephone corporations
under the control of the railroad COM
missioners for ~remodeling the board
Of equalization, requiring the commits
sioners to prepare a maximum sched-

opening n department of immigration,
providing a deficiency tax of / mill, a
state harbor bill, a state general bank
ing bill and IL dozen or more others af-
fecting professions and business pur-
suits, and having a more or less gen
eral significance. The senate bill pro-
viding q form of negotiable instru-
ments-the national and state bar as
ISOLATION bill-was indefinitely post
poned by the house.
Governor Lee disapproved bills for
beet sugar bounty; to pay j. b. Nc
Cloud $500 for board of men and
horses in the Indian uprising of 1890
81; to prevent illegal voting at caucus
es, and to abolish the Office of insur-
ance commissioners.
Bills yet to be acted on are for de-
pository of state funds, osteopathy,
game laws, judicial salary and general
appropriation. That portion of the
general appropriation bill which pro-
vides for the Springfield school will be
cut out.
Bills Passed.
Bills passed by both houses prac-

A moderate amount of work
regularly performed is conducive
to good health. Worry hurts a
great deal more than work, and
many, people are killing them
selves with worry and accuse work
of the decline of their vital pow
ers. Without work we would die
and fill premature graves. Man
ual labor develops the muscles
and organs of the physical man,
and when mental work stops the
brain loses it's vital energy and
then an intellectual stupor passes
over the person, and in a short
while the brain force becomes
dead. 1t has been truly and we'll
said that San idle mind becomes
the devils Workshop" for Satan
would delight to see the entire hu-
man race cease work.

WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT.

The concert given at residence of Pro-
lessor +. J.. Freyer, on Tuesday eve
ming of last week for the benefit of ST..
James Episcopal church was a great
success in every way, those present re-
ceiying rare musical treat. Among
the features of the evening was COM
bination of four hands upon the piano,
Misses Dykers and Stone, and Professor
Freyer playing the angelus and violin
at same time THE overtures from
Poet and Peasant and Caliph de Bag
dad were exquisitely rendered. Mrs.
| Dawson sang in her usual charming
manner, and never with better or more
pleasing effect Messrs. Duncan and
i Freyer, with mandolins and guitar gave
some charming music selections. But
the great feature of the concert was the
wonderful music produced by the An
gelus Orchestral. 1t was music, not the
mere rendering of sounds from strings
or reeds. Without the slightest knowl-
edge of music any one can with the aid
of this wonderful instrument, with
fullness of chords and harmonies which
it affords, render, as the various COM
posers great in the musical world them
selves felt the harmonies unfold, any
number and style of selections, vary
ing from the lightest and most volatile
to the most profound classical compo-
sition, eliminating the suggestion of me-
chanical force and closely Stimulating the
human touch, with tempo and express
sion rarely within the capabilities of So
called great performers. No matter
what the time or style of the selection,
it is within the power of the angelus to
render it. Ones own Interpretation
may be given to the composition, as
there is no sinking of ones individuality
the performer becomes tn = mas ter not
the slave. One may distinguish through
the peculiar tidelityiwith which it rem
ders composition, each individual in
