GAMBLE IS IN THE HAD.
FOR THE SOUTH DAKOTA UNITED
STATES SENATOR
SHIP
WHAT THE sOLoNs WILL DO
Appropriations to BE Made by the
Legislature Expected to Reach
a Million and q
Quarter.

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 1S-The senator
ial situation remains unchanged. Gamble
is IN the lead, and all talk is Gamble
against the field. While there is no
doubt strong sentiment in favor Of
some other man than Gamble there is
also no question that up to the present
the chances are greatly in his favor.
The move toward changes in the in
corporation laws will be in the line of in
creasing the filing fees to no less than
SIS and to requiring the keeping of a
duplicate set of books at the head office
as announced in the articles At pres
ent all the business of the company may
be tranacted at any branch Office, and
any number of branch offices may be
established.
The appropriations asked from the
coming session will reach approximately
a million and j quarter, and will pToba-
bly, go beyond that figure. The total
general appropriation bill of two years ago
was 1891, $50. besides a number Of special
appropriations. The amount asked for
in the general appropriation bill of this
session will De over a million dollars.
Besides the institutions provided for at
the last session there will be the blind
asylum al Gary, the hospital for feeble
minded at Redfield, and the school of
technology at Aberdeen, which will add
to the total
The report of the state auditor calls at
tention to the fact that while q tax for
judicial purposes was levied on unor-
gained counties, and a large amount Of
it collected, out a small part of it was
turned into the state treasury, as pro-
vided by the bill which called for such a
levy. The residents of this portion Of
Stanley county, which was in the unor-
ganized portion before the consolidation
bill was passed, have begun suit against
the county 10 recover $4,000 of such tax,
which, they allege, has never been ac-
counted fer. This suit will be closely
watched by other interested persons, and
in case the county is forced TO refund
similar suits will be commenced against
other counties which are in the same
list.
A report has been started in regard to
attempted legislation by the large stock
owners TO give them an advantage over
the small holders on the range country.
While there is no doubt that the owners
of large herds would be pleased to secure
such action, they can have no hope
of carrying it through. The small own
ers are far in the lead in point Of in
, dividual numbers, and probably in the
aggregate represent as many cattle, If
not more, than do the heavy owners, and
any effort to secure such legislation as
has been alleged would find a grave in
the legislative boneYard.

REPORT OF THE
SOLDIERS HOME

Denver, Dec. 22.-The Soldiers and
Sailors Home at Monte Vista made its
biennial report to Governor Thomas
yesterday, and in it thanks the COVER
nor for securing $4,000 private aid
for this institution after the Legisla-
ture had adjourned without providing
any funds from which the appropria-
ton for the home could be paid.
In the recommendations the claim is
made that $1,000 is needed for hospi-
tai and that in addition to this amount
$4,000 is needed for the coming bien-
NAL period. The statistics turned in
with the report set forth that of the 113
old soldiers in the home, there Is only
one commissioned officer. Last year
Lieutenant B. A. Spear of the Fifty
seventh Massachusetts, infantry was an
inmate, but he was discharged for al
legged misconduct. This year Lieuten-
ant w. II. Scott OF the New York bat
terry entered the home. He Is the only
commissioned officer there. He Is six
ty-six years old and was admitted from
Denver.
President II. c. Graden says in his
report that the men are all getting old
and incapacitatcL and that 1t will be
only few years before the home will
be n hospital. There are 141 old sol
diers and sailors In the home and thir-
ty-two more absent at present with the
privilege of returning whenever they
desire. With the aid of the 10000 pri-
vate aid the home has been able to go
ahead and perform its work.
