STATE HOUSE.
Guides License Law Declared Consti-
tutionaI by the Law Court.
The Power Given the Census Enumerators by
the Law.

The guides licensing law is constitu
tional. This was the decision from the
law court that Hon. l.. T. Carleton OF
the commissioners of inland fish anC
game commission, received, yesterday
The test Of the law was made about
year ago. Then a guide in the Range
ley regions violated the law by acting
as guide without a license. The case
was taken into the Franklin county
courts and after being heard was taken
to the law court. Judge Foster acting
as attorney for the defendant guide.
The case was heard before the law
court last June. Game Commissioner
Carleton received word, yesterday, that
the decision had been reached, Justice
Fogler handing down the rescript. The
constitutionality of the law is fully af-
firmed.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant to the game commissioners and
the sportsmen that has yet been rem
dered. 1t is Of especial importance to
the guides, for Game Commissioner
Carleton has claimed from the first
that by the licensing system the guides
would be protected from inexperienced
men coming in to take their places. and
more than that the sportsmen will be
protected since the license assures them
that they have man who IS thorough
~ competent to serve their best inter-
eStS.

COLLAR BONE BROKEN.
Conductor Tompkins Injured While
Making a Coupling at Edgeley,
OH Milwaukee Road.

Aberdeen News, %: Conductor John
81. Tompkins had his left collar bone
broken at Edgeley at an cary hour this
morning. Mr.. Tompkins took an extra
train made up OF immigrants movables
TO Edgeley during the night, and the
train was being made up for the return
trip when the accident happened. Mr..
Tompkins was in the act of making d
coupling when one drawbar slipped
past the other and the cars came so
close together as to catch Mr.. Tompkins
and break his collar bone. He was also
jammed about the breast to some ex-
tent. He was brought to Aberdeen and
taken to his home this forenoon, and it
is hoped that nothing more severe than
the broken collar bone may develop.
Mr.. Tompkins runs into Mitchell
over the Milwaukee road and was a
former resident here. His many friends
will be sorry to learn Of his accident.

Plans for the University's New Build
ing Submitted and An Archi-
tect Appointed.

The executive committee of the Uni
versity had q conference with w. L.
Dow, of Sioux Falls, in reference to
the new building to be erected by the
University. Mr.. Dow wac unanimously
engaged as the architect for the new
building, and the plans he had drawn
previous to the meeting were discussed
to some extent. The comparative ex-
pense of stone and brick for use in coz
struction was gone into aud the gen.
eral sentiment was in favor of brick,
although the question of material was
left open for further Investigation by
the committee. The building, which
will be dormitory for the young lady
students, will be 50xl24 feet in dimen-
sions and four stories high. 1t will be
fire proof, everything of an inflammable
material bsing left out in the construc-
tion of the building. 1t is figured that
the building will accommodate Is or 50
roomers, aside from rooms used for va
rious purposes.
The music department will be trans.
ferred to this building, both for instruc.
ton and practice. The art department
will also be taken to the new building
The young ladies will have gymna
sium to cultivate the physical as well
as the mental faculties, and a room viii
be provided on the lower floor for the
Y. w. G. A. A large dining room will
be provided for in the basement.
This activity in the way OF building
operations is shown that it may b,

sity is going anead with the new build
ings and to also stimulate those VIII,
have in mind the idea of contributing
something toward the building funs

the intention OF the people who live in
those towns to at once move their
buildings and business to the railroad
towns. The road will have the effect
of killing off the old towns and the
railroad company will do everything in
its power to boom the towns they have
just started. There is evidence that
they will rapidly acquire population.
The present county seat is located at
Wheeler but a movement is already on
foot to move it to either Geddes, which
is about in the center of the county, or
Platte, which is located some miles
farther north. In any event there will
be lively times during the construction
of the railroad. which, it is presumed,
will reach the terminal point at Platte
about the first of September, that date
being the limit of the time of expirat-
ion under contract when the road was
to be completed, The railroad will put
down an artesian well in each new
town.

j. Johnson and H. B. Stevens, as the
Plankinton bank.
The court ordered subpo "a to issue
directing the defendants to appear and
answer on April in Sioux Falls arc to
show why the bank should not be
thrown into bankruptcy. A United
States deputy marshal went out to
Plankinton last Thursday and served
the subpenas. In this case MIR. Hannett
represents creditors of the bank TO the
amount of about $4,000. Should the
court decide to place the bank in bank
ruptcy it will receive the receiver OF

ONE MORE BURGLAR Y.
Fogarty's Saloon is Robbed for the
Third Time and Liquors Car
ried Away.

James Fogarty, the proprietor of the
saloon at the corner of Main and Sec
ond street, thinks he has had his share
of the burglaries which have been 60
ing on. His saloon was robbed again
Saturday night, which makes the third
time it has been touched in the past six
or eight months and 80 far there has
been no clue obtained TO follow up the
robbers, although q strong suspicion
has existed rs TO who the parties were.
On thia occasion an entrance was
etfec'ed by saving into the shed which
stands at the rear of the saloon. In
stead OF breaking into the saloon the
lock WAS pried OFF the cellar door and
the marauders then ransaoked the
over room for what they wanted. Mr..
Fogarty was unable to say what had
been carried away. He missed several
cases of beer and case of champagne.
There we're several barrels of whisky
in the cellar but whether they opened
any of that liquor carried away he was
unable to say.

Encampment Dates Selected.

F. D. Powers of this city, who is q
member of the council of administrat-
ion of the state G. A. r., gives the in
formation that the dates for the state
encampment of the G. A. r., W. r. G.
and 8. of V. have been selected. The
dates are Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, June 10, 20, and 81. This
means from now on a great deal of hard
work for the local mem bers of the three
orders and the citizens of Mitchell, for
every person in the city should feel
that it is part of their duty to assist
in every possible way to make the
coming of the old soldiers and the two
other orders moot pleasant and happy
ons. There is considerable to be done
to handle the crowd of people which is
naturally expected to be here, and
Mitchell's hospitality wants to be open
enough and broad enough to welcome
every person who comes within her
gates on those days. From the various
sources through which the information
comes it is evident that the, coming
meeting of the old soldiers will be the
largest in the history of the state or
ganization and it. behooves our people
to be in readiness a. take care of them
when they come.

STILL SHORT OF PEOPLE.
The American League Cannot Induce
the People to Take Amy Inter-
est i'll the Meetings.

There is one thing that confronts the
American League at its Monday night
meetings, and it is a source of worry to
the leaders and officers, and that is the
absence of people in the hail. Monday
night, after waiting until $50 for
crowd to assemble, the meeting was
called to order and there were Just
fourteen of US there. President Thomp-
son took charge of the meeting for the
first time and endorsed the objects of
the league. He said it had been re-
ported that the league had been organ
lied by Senator Pettigrew and that it
was non-partisan affair. He did
not believe that Senator Pettigrew had
anything to do with the organization
OF the league, but it he he'd. it had
been organized by one of the smartest
men in the United States. Such q
statement would indicate that the new
president had but little faith in the
bipartisan features of the league. In
the course of his remarks he spoke at
length on the matter of patriotism, the
Declaration OF Independence and the
constitution, and then attacked the ad-
ministration and the war question,
which would also indicate that the
president was weak in his belief that
the league was noE-partisan. The
speech of tie president 80 impressed
his audience that motion was made
to have it published in the Gazette.
Col. Boynton and Editor Whitcher
were exceedingly solicitous about get
ting out larger crowd to the meeting
and various plans we're proposed. They
seemed anxious to have at least one
large crowd present before the league
should suspend doing business. When
the sympathizers of Pettigrew will fail
to turn out to his meetings, there is
not much encouragement to urge any
body else to attend.

Moisture Starting in Well.

The moisture is starting pretty well
for this season, There was little rain
a few days ago and Monday the rain
was quite heavv. The government re-
porter stated that there was SO inches
OF water fell during the night This
does not include the accompanying
sleet which covered the ground to a
depth of several inches Tuesday.
This moisture will put the ground in
fine shape for early farming operations
and will be the means OF drawing the
frost out of the ground for tho water to
soak in whore it will do some good.

THE WEATHER FOR APRIL.
There Will be Quite Mixture OF
Rain, Snow, Sleet and Frosty
Weather for the Month.

In his forecast for April Rev. Irl r.
Hicks says that the regular storm
period which will he central on the last
day of March, will finish it's course to
about the Sd, leaving much precipitat-
ion behind it in the form Of rains to the
south ward, the sleet and snow over
northern parts. Normally much cooler
weather and high barometer should
follow these storms from early in the
period, beginning in the extreme west,
but persistent southerly currents will
tend to keep up the temperature. 1t
will be safe to count on freezing and
frosts in many sections. anyway, as the
storm area moves east from any locality
in the northern half of the country.
On and touching the 5tb and 9th,
look iur reaction to warmer, fluctuating
barometer and marked tendency to
April showers and vernal storms. Ar
other change to rising barometer, vest
erly winds and much cooler will follow
these reactionary pertubations. One
OF the marked storm periods for the
month will fall between the 9th and
18th, and the days in this period of
greatest intensity and possible violence
will be about Wednesday, the 11th, to
| Saturday, the 18th. Hot, humid air,
with low barometer and restless clouds,
should be regarded as admonitions OF
| dangerous storms at this period
| Change to rising barometer and cool,
| frosty nights north ward, will follow up
the track of this period and dominate
the weather generally up to about the
10th.
On and touching the l7th and 18th
the elements will again react into storm
conditions. The temperature will be
sufficiently high for the development oil
April showers, with probability oi
thunder and hail storms. Look for
change to quite cool nights, with prob.
able frost in many sections, on and
touching the 10Th and Goth. A storm
period. reaching from the 2lst to Goth
will bring an unseasonably warm or ho
spell, which will culminate about Mon
day, the 23d, to Thursday, the Goth, il
very threatening barometer and vicious
rain, thunder and hail storms. HI
names Wednesday, the 25th, as th,
probable crisis OF this period, with
tremendous local rains, downpours o
hail, vivid lightning and sudden chang
es to almost cold-quite SO in extrem'
northern sections, with frosts extend
ing far toward the southern states
Storms of tornado character need no
surprise any one during these genera
pertubations.
During the three last days of Apri
) reactionary storm conditions will de
| velop and pass eastward across tn
, country resulting in another fall of bar
! emeter, rise of temperature and re
newed showers. He adds that at thi
time there will be tendency to thro,
the atmosphere into an electrified an
, restless state, with seismic shake
probable.

many years, passing within several
