Eastern Star Club Have Good Attend
ance at Their Progressive Card Party.
Masonic hall was the scene of q very
pleasant social function Thursday even
ing, when the Eastern Star club furn-
ished very enjoyable evenings amuse-
ment to about sixty-five of their
friends. The club has given several
dancing parties this winter, which
have been the means OF enlivening Soc
iety to quite an extent, and on this
occasion considered it q good plan to
change the form of amusement, which
proved an agreeable and popular
change. There were fifteen tables ar
ranged around the room, and shortly
after 8 o'clock the game, progressive
cinch, commenced. 1t was after IL
o'clock when the last game was finish
ed and the number OF games counted.
The first prize for ladies was awarded
to Mrs. Ed. Leehan, who had thirteen
games to her credit, L. o. Gale and
J. K. Smith were tied for the first
place for gentlemen, each having won
ten games, but on cutting the cards
Mr.. Smith was successful. The prize
usually to be avoided is that given to
the one who has not had good luck and
had run of poor cards, with the result
of winning but few games. Mrs. F.
w. Frey berg and Mrs. A. 81. Pehrson
were competitors in this respect, and
the former lady won the honors at the
foot by cutting the cards. DR.. J. G.
Mccartney had none to dispute with
him over his right and title for the
same distinction for the gentlemen
T. j. Spangler presented the prizes
with some appropriate remarks. Cards
being over with, light refreshments
were served in the adjoining room.
Later a little dancing was INDUCED in
to the delight of the participants. The
whole affair was thoroughly informal
and enjoyable and the ladies of the
club can congratulate themselves upon
the success of the evening.

The State Bar association held an
interesting session at Pierre last week,
which was we'll attended by attorneys
from all over the state, Mitchell being
represented by Judge Frank B. Smith,
J.L. Hannett and F. q. Winsor. Dur
ing the session addresses were made by
prominent legal gentlemen, among
them being one by Judge D. Haney, of

special order for 2:3O o'clock next
Thursday.
Public Examiner Taylor's report of
his investigation Of Oil Inspector Dow
dell is now public property and the
governor admits that he made q mistake
in refusing access to itprior to election.
The report contains nothing of especial
interest to the public and nothing that
has not been known for several months.
The examiner says he fouLd that Dow
dell was not inspecting oil according to
law, inasmuch as he had given his
brands and stamps to the Standard Oil
agents and permitted them TO use the
stamps at will. The examiner also
found that Dowdell was charging the
state $40 9 month for an Office which he
used for the publication of his newspa-
per, and for which he really paid but 81
per month. The examiner thought

did not report him a defaulter. Dow
dell says the governo. did not state the
exact truth when he said Dowdell had
rendered his resignation at executive
request. He says he resigned, as
shown by papers on file, because he
could not discharge the duties of the
Office according to law and the con-
tract" The contract referred to was

COMING INTO SOUTH DAKOTA.

There Has Been Great Influx of Settlers
In the state During the Past Year.
According to the statement of 81. H.
Hunter, the Milwaukee company's inn
migration agent, South Dakota's popu-
lation has been increased to an appre-
ciable extent during the past year.
He states that his department has To-
Gated 1000 families in the state the
past year, and according TO his state-
ments many hundreds of families were
added to the population of Dawson
county, and many others were sent into
Brule, Charles MIX and Douglas
counties. where opportunities for stock
raising and farming are not equaled in
any parts OF the state. "These people
come largely" he said, ''from western
Iowa, and are the best class of citizens
obtainable. 1t has been my experience
that you can get the New York man to
immigratento Illinois, the Illinois man
to Iowa, and the Iowa man to South
Dakota. To get the New York fellow
to come at once and direct to the
prairies west is very difficult, but the
Iowa renter and small farmer have /.
better general understanding of the
situation and are not afraid to boldly
reach out for home on unbroken sod
These 1000 families averaged q val
uation OF 80, 200 in money, chattels and
other property. They are practical
westerners and their success is certain.
The year 1899 will witness another
satisfactory immigration movement.
The wonderful development of stock
and creamery pursuits and general
farming has put South Dakota in q
very enviable light. Prospects could
not be brighter. Land values are ap-
preciating and interest charges are
steadily decreasing. The South Da-
kota agriculturalist is fast getting on
easy stIeet; the time is coming whom
the east will borrow money of and sell
it's bonds to the west"

:
tied Discussion in the Senate.
PIERRE, Jan. 2O.-Both houses are
transacting their routine business, and
many new bills have been introduced
in the senate and house.
In the senate yesterday favorable
committee report on the bill empower
ing and authorizing the railway COM
mission to put into effect a maximum
express rate in the state, called out q
hot discussion, Lawson taking the lead
and opp ,sing the measure on the
grouna that the present railway law,
passed at the 1897 session, gives the
commissioners all the necessary power
to carry the desired move into effect.
he said he was anxious to have the
extortions of express companies stop
|ped, but he deprecated any attempt to
amend the railway law while import
ant cases were pending
Smith of Pennington, Loomis and
Hanten held that the bill proposed
would not in any way conflict with the
present law, and that additional legis-
lation was necessary to remove doubt
as to the powers of the board.
Thayer said that after twenty-five
years service with an express company
he had been discharged for his popu.
listic ideas, but he opposed the pending
bill on the ground that it conflicted
with the railway law, and intimated
that it concealed awoodchuck.
Several other members expressed
opinions on either side, and motion
to postpone action was lost. The favor.
able report was then adopted by 81
lto4.

AT. THE STATE CAPITAL.

Legislators are Warming Up to Their
Work and Discuss the Bills Liberaliy.
PIERRE, Jan. 21.-H. L. Loucks ar
rived last night and will spend few
days here in the interest of the initia-
tive and referendum and dispensary
laws. He desires that laws submitted
to the people shall be voted upon in the
fall of the same year as the Legislative
sessions. With this exception he
approves the Winmarth- Glass bill, but
will push another bill making the
initiative and referendum apply to
municipalities. He believes the dis
pensary law, when enacted, cannot be
'sreferendumed" because it but carries
out the expressed wish OF the people on
an amendment to the constitution.
Politically, he has little to say, except
that he believes the legislature will
make q good record and that if the
republican state ticket and platform
suit him next year he will take the
stump in support OF that party.
Arrangements for q special legis-
lative train to the Buttermakers' con-
vention at Sioux Falls have been com
pleted. The train will be rendered the
legislature with the compliments of the
Northwestern road, and the statesmen
are considering the propriety Of ex.
tending vote of thanks to the com.
pany. The train will leave Tuesday
afternoon, after adjournment Of the
morning session, and will reach Sioux
Falls about Z p. m. Members will be
entertained by the city without ex'
pense to themselves, and will leave for
the return trip some time Wednesday
night.

MAKING LAWS AT PIERRE.

Bills That Were introduced In the Legis-
lature--some That Ran the Gauntlet.
Pierre, Jan. 23.-In the senate today
bills were introduced: By Gunderson,
providing that railroads shall be taxed
on the basis of valuation of the entire
system: by Gunderson, requiring rail-
roads to construct and maintain high
way crossings; by Cooper. revising the
assessment laws on the basis OF the
Indiana system; by King, making it
unlawful for any member of the family
or next kin of member of the board
of regents to be employed in educational
institutions. The bill to increase
Judges salaries was made special order
for Friday on reconsideration.
Senate bills passed: Prohibiting pay
ment OF taxes by warrants except by
parties to whom issued cutting off is
suing of unnecessary certificates and
reducing fees when county becomes
purchaser at tax sale.
Bills passed. Legalizing assessment
of and attaching of certain lands to
Clay county.
Bills introduced in the house were:
BY Anderson, defining legal responsi-
bility of subscribers to newspapers and
periodicals: by Carlson, taxing insur-
ance companies doing business in this
state; by Lowry, directing railway
corporations to maintain scales in cer-
tain cases, and prescribing penalties
for failure; by Ristey, fixing maximum
salary Of county treasurers; by Trumbo,
by request, prohibiting district school
boards from employing relatives for
teachers; by Goddard, repealing stat
utes creating Office of engineer OF irri-
cation; by Wilmarth, regulating the
practice of medicine and providing
board of examiners.
Austin's bill providing for courts of
conciliation was made special order
next Friday.
Under suspension of the rules the fol-
lowing memorials to congress were
passed.: To locate branch of National
Soldiers home at Hot Springs; to pass
free homestead bill.
Public Examiner Taylor has report
ed to Governor Lee that no part of the
interest on the state funds alleged to
have been collected by ex-Treasurer
Phillips has been turned into the treas
ury. Governor Lee will today report
to Attorney General Pyle and leave
the matter OF prosecution in the hands
of that officer.
Treasurer Schamber is not pleased
with the prospect Of having no per-
quisites attached to his Office. Should
the bills now pending become laws
state treasurers in the future will get
nothing more than their $l,S0O salary.
Under these laws it will be impossible
to take interest on the state funds, and
few men, if any, will be found who will
care to assume the responsibility OF
taking care OF 80 much money for SO
small salary, and under the future
possible conditions Zone but banker
could be induced to accept the position,
as he could deposit the money iu his
own bank and loan it out without VIC
lating the letter of the law.
4 Three bills have been introduced
which are calculated to affect the In
come of the newspapers and there will
be q lively scramble to smother them
i One is for the reduction of the numbe,

is to reduce the price for publishing
