"a FLAW IN THE LAW.
The Soldiers Home Board Must he
Reorgani2ed.

The Soldiers Home Board Must Ise
Reorganiapd.
Pierre, F'eb.-(Special to the Argus
Leader The reorganization OF the
board of commissioners of the Soldiers
Home will have to be done over again
owing to IA flaw in the law of 1895.
This law undertook to make the
commissioners term six years with
biennial appointments, but instead
provided explicitly that they should
hold two for two years two for four
years and Que for six years.
Under the literal construction of
this act the places are vacant and
have been for some time.
Governor Her; cid takes this view
and will Immediately fill the board by
appointment. He will not make any
changes. however, Tor his three recent
appointees- will be re.appointed He
will also appoint the two Populist
members, Van Osdsi of Yanlton, and
Gunderson of Nernlillion. who are now
serving, to succeed themselves. thus
showing that he is not actuated by
partiasanship in giving this interpre-
tation of the law.
He will also ask the legislature to
enact IL law to remedy the apparant
mistake. Without doubt all five of
Che appointments will be confirmed.
One result of this discovery will be
that Linn will be ousted at .once from
the position of commandant. His sue.
cessor will be Capt. Lucas.

Tanning Ii, Eicctricity.

By the introduction of electricity
into the process the period required
for the tanning of feathers has been
very materially reduced. In the final
process of unhairing the pelts and skins
it has been demonstrated that if Il cur
rent of small density be passed through
the solution of lime and arsenic in
which they are usually soaked the proc
ess is SO nastened that the skins are
ready for the mechanical removal of the
hair in several hours. whereas in the
ordinary way it would require several
days. The passage of the electric cur
rent appears TO carry the solution into
the pores of the hide in a very remark
able manner After the hair is removed
and the skins placed i'll the proper tan
ming solutions weak current is again
passed through the solution, which has
similar accelerating effect. The fig
ures Of time required for tanning by
this process are, with bark liquor. about
IL days for cowhide and one-half to
three days for calfskin and one dag for
kangaroo Record.

c Visitors from Fall River county tell
a good story on Colonel George, the
all-around hustler and politician. The
colonel was assigned to stump Fall
River county last fall in behalf of the
republican ticket, and during his tour
paid particular attention to the gentle
man VINO is now representative Kelly,
characterizing him Us friend of labor,
a friend of the farmer and everything
else that was likely to win him vote.
The colonel had not met MIR. Kelly
and evidently believed him to he

about the gentleman and was informed
that he was banker and one of the

bankers, but when the truth dwaned
upon him he threw up his hands in
depreciation of his error and cried:
