There is not the most complete
agreement among republicans on
the move instituted to Investigate
the charge made by the ex,Goyern-
or Lee against the conduct OF the
penitentiary, asylum and reform
school. The resolution is being ac-
lively promoted by Colonel Aims
worth and ]. D. Barlow, who are on
the ground seeking Ainsworth's s re-
appointment. Some of the machine
men are outspoksn in .their predic.
tions that the resolution to investi-
gate will die in the committee.
These men are not favorable to the
rsappoin tment of Ainsuorth and
declare that the proposed investiga-
ton is invented to whitewash the
old management of the reform
school and give the former superin-
tendent standing for reappoint-
ment.
Jan. 15.-The South Dakota legis-
lature now has kidnapping bill to
consider. 1t was introduced yester-
day and provides a~penalty of life
imprisonment.
Among the interesting house bills
introduced was one to extend the
period OF residence prior to begin
ming divorce proceedings to one year
and another to require counties to
give INDECENT drupkards the Keeley
cure.
With one accord the county com
missioners of the state seem to have
risen up in demand for the repeal Of
the law providing for the publica-
tion Of certificates Of nominations of
county and state officers in all the
papers Of the county. Both houses
of the legislature have already been
deluged with such petitions and they
are still pouring in on every mail.
The movement was started by the
county auditor of Beadle county,
practically all the petitions being
identical in language and statement.
It's stated in the petitions that
some Of the counties are compelled
to pay as high as 5000 for printing
certificates Of nominations, and that
in the stateSit costs about $50, 900
annually.

UNIFORM BOUNTY Law.
Governor Richards Wants Western
States to Get Together.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 11.-Gov-
ernor DeForest Richards message
to the sixth state legislature spoke
OF the prosperous condition of busi-
ness, OF the state and county gov
ernments, and made a number Of
recommendations. Among the sug-
gestions was one that, ifacted upon,
means much to the stockmen of the
western, or stock raising, states.
The governor, after speaking at
some length of the rayages of wild
animals among the herds and flocks
and of the efforts made in the past
to rid the ranges Of the pests, rec
commended that the Wyoming legis-
latsre memorabilia the legislatures
of the states Of Utah, Nebraska,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, South
Dakota and North Dakota to agree
upon some uniform bounty law and
that the memorial be transmitted to
the president of the senate and
speaker Of the house Of each Of the
state LEGISLATURES Of the states nam
ed.
The governor believes that if the
states agree upon certain bounty
and adopt uniform plan Of mark
ing the pelts, the illegitimate opera
tions Of professional wolf hunters
who collect bounty on the same pelts.
in several states will be done away
with.
During the year 1900, the state
paid bounty upon 1900 wolves and
10, 1873 coyotes. Although there is a
strong sentiment against appropiat-
ing money out Of the state funds for
wolf bounty, the objections being
raised on the ground that the stock
men, who receive the benefits from
the war on predatory wild animals,
should bear the, expense themselves,
it is believed bounty bill carrying
and appropriation Of $2t, 600 will be
passed.

in the local land Office affair than to
give the news. 1t has caused much
comment, much of which has been
guess-work, but the real seat Of the
trouble as given by the Sioux City
Times Of Monday in a Rapid City
dispatch is given below. THl UNION
does not vouch for the truth Of the
statements made, but as the Times
is one of the rankest republican
sheets in the ontire northwest, THE
UNION gives the version Of the case
Is given by that paper:
''The United States land office Of
this city has had a severe shaking
up during the past few days. For
over a year and half, 1t Is alleged,
there has been more orless crocksd-
ness on the part Of some Of those In
official charge. An official investi-
cation has just been made. They
found In the first day Of the investi-
cation that the register, A. 4. Card
ner, and the clerk, N. I. Garrison,
knew considerable about the crook
edness, and both men Immediately
resigned.
"The resignation Of Gardner was
accepted to take effect January 81,
or as soon az 3 successor can qualify.
The resignation Of Garrison was not
accepted, he being in the civil SER
vice, and he will have to stand trial.
THE act Of congress, which was
approved June 4. 1897. setting apart;
the Black Hills forest rsssrve, pro-
vided that settlers could relinquish
their lands and take In lieu thereof
like acreage elsewhere on the public
domain. The act congress approved
March 3, 1899, provided that settlers
upon unsurveyed lands within the
the Black Hills forest reserve who
had established residence in good
faith prior to September 10, 1898,
could enter homesteads under the
existing homestead laws.
Competition in the purchase Of
these lands became so active that
dishonest methods were resortsd to
in the entering Of homesteads, as it
was generally circulated that 3 man
could take homestead and dispose
OF It through the scrip brokers for.
several hundred dollars.
Numerous reports reached the
general land Office from various.
places in the Black Hills calling at
tention to these frauds and the
Rapid City land Office was placed in
q very unfavorable light before the
people. The investigation Of the
government inspectors has complete
lily exonerated the receiver of the
land Office. w. S. Warner, who sue
