PASS WOLF BOUNTY LAW
PRIMARY ELECTION MEASURE TO
BE KILLED IN THE COM
MITTEE
SCARED THEM INTO VOTING
Smallpox Racket Worked on Legis-
IatOrs to Secure the Passage
of the ApprOpria-
ton Bills.

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. Especial )
The senate yesterday passed IWo-tenthS
mill special tax for wolf bounty after
rather warm debate. The bill will prob
ably have hard fight in the house. but
promises to pass. The primary election
bill has gone over to the committee of the
whole in the senate, and it is generally
expected it viii be killed in committee
The house passed the bill prohibiting
the sale of game birds. All the senate
bills were referred in the house, and a
large number of minor measures were
disposed of in both houses. The steering
committee in both houses have taken
charge of all bills, and new business will
be shut off March l. unless by unanimous
consent Gov. White approved the reap
portionment bill, and it is now a law.
There has been considerable said in the
valley papers about he prevalence Of
smallpox in this city, and a great ado
has been made of it until hat the men,
bers of the legislature We're ready, on
their return from the recess. to pass the
appropriation bills and make their es-
cape. 1t has been found, however that
there is needless excitement in other
parts of the state over what many doubt
to be the smallpox. None of the cases
have been at all serious and those which
have been sent to the house of detention
have hardly been in bed, and are reported
hunting on the outskirts of the city. The
health authorities have done all that good
sense would dictate, and in two cases
where there was danger of infection a
strict quarantine has been enforced, and
there is little danger of anything further.
Maj. Fleming, Attorney Stambaugh,
James Kennedy, Mrs. de Lendrecie, Miss

Cashels primary election law was the
subject of interesting parliamentary de-
bate in the senate over the adoption of
the majority and minority reports
Both reports were thrown out and
after many dilatory meetings had been
disposed of the matter went over to a
committee of the whole for action today
Friends of the bill claim opponents hope
to defeat the bill without going on record
with a roll call, and a very interesting
fight is promised
Senator Taylors medical bill was trot-
ted out again with a section eliminated
which shut out the practice of Christian
science, osteopathy, magnetic healing,
etc, but was sidetracked till today.
Representative Leech has Withdrawn
his divorce bill. as the opposition was too
strong. The house passed a bill for
bonds for a Irvine plant at the peniten-
tiary: also a bill allowing the desgna-
nation of two papers in one town as Of
fetal; also a bill allowing a charge of
fees in the state land department. If this
becomes a law the department will be-
come self-supporting. March l was made
the last day for the Introduction of bills

NEW STOCK ISSUE.
Milwaukee Road to Increase Its
Capital 10 Per Cent.

Capital 10 Per Cent.
NEW, YORK, Feb. 2S.-The directors of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road, at their monthly meeting in this
city today recommended an increase of
10 per cent in the capital stock of the
company to provide $4,300,000 to pay for
the Kansas City cutoff and reimburse
the company's treasury for S4,127 .12S cap
ital expenditures. The proposed issue
will be entirely in common stock,
amounting to 8S, 1873 shares. Both common
and preferred stockholders of record of
March IL can subscribe to the new stock
at par, but holders of the various bond
issues which are convertible into pre-
ferred stock are debarred from the priv
nege.
1t was explained at the office of the
company that according to the rules gov
erning the various mortgages, which are
convertible into the preferred stock, no.
tees of the intention to do so must be
given within from ten to fifteen days
after a dividend has been declared and
payable on the preferred stock. AS the
semi-annual dividend on the common and
preferred stock of the road Is not pay
able until April, and as the offer to pro-
cure the new stock at par only holds
good until March II, the mortgage hold
ers with convertible privileges are thus
unable to take advantage of the offer.

The bill introduced by DR.. Locke, or

Under the present law any person who

Inasmuch as the poor system of book
keeping has been the cause of most OF
the trouble that has arisen in the pub

that it would be paying investment for
the state to engage the services OF an
expert accountant to devise a system OF
bookkeeping adapted to the needs OF
each institution and open proper set of
books for their future guidance.
In view Of the fact that the oil in
spection bill as amended by the house
contains provision with respect to de-
posting chemical test fees in the stats
treasury, thus making 1t a revenue
measure in a sense, and probably bring
ing it into conflict with the constitution
in that respect as we'll as by prohibit
ing the Importation of oil that does not
reach certain quality 1t would be the
part of wisdom to abolish inspection en-,
tirely and save the fees and expenses to
somebody The state has clearly no
right to shut out poor illuminating oil
on any other ground than that it is a
menace to health or safety Oil cannot
be excluded because 1t does not reach
a certain Illuminating point, and the
chances are that if the bill becomes a
law as it left the house it will not be
worth the paper it is written on to the
