PIERRE. s. D., Jan. Is. = Especially -
Those who are looking after special In
terests have begun to show up, and are
looking after what they consider Of
prime Importance In legislative circles.
w. B. Sherrard. of the children's home
at Sioux Falls, will push his bills, one
of which Is to place the institution NOM
inally under the supervision of the state
board of charities and corrections;
another is to amend the present laws
giving him greater powers in securing
possession of children, and their control
after they have become members of the
home.
Doctor Warren, of the Yankton college,
is very much interested in the library in
terests Of the state, and has drawn a
bill which Is intended to foster circuiat-
ing township libraries, under control Of
state library board. The bill provides
for board with a paid secretary, who
is to be an attache of the Office of super
intendent Of instruction, and who Is to
be selected by the commission Several
other ideas in regard to libraries have
been advanced, and the probabilities are
| that something will come out of all of
! them before the close of the session.
s**
Profs Heston and Kehr are here
from the Agricultural college, look ma
after the needs of that institution, and
are working with DR.. Warren in his
! library idea.
w. c. Granthan, who attempted to Sc
cure legislative Endorsement two years
ago for the code which he had compiled,
is here again to secure legislative action
in his interests. In view of the fact that
the senate has favoraby considered a bill
for revision and codification OF the laws
fln oh
of the Granthan code are not particularly
rosy.
The various state institutions will not
allow any of their wants to lack for fail
ure of asking. The bills introduced
already for the Agricultural college carry
appropriations for a quarter of a million
dollars, while those already introduced
to aid the insane asylum amount to $685.
O00 Over $1,000 will be asked of the pres
ent session for the next biennial period,
but it is certain that all claims will be
well pared by the committees of the two
houses.
Trooper Bell, of Dell Rapids. who was
the lone South Dakotan who went to
Cuba with Teddy is here and has Sc
cured a position on the clerical force for
the session.
Doane Robinson is pushing the organi-
zation of the state historical society and
has invited a number of celebrities to be
present at the meeting for that purpose
tonight. A number of them are present
but others who were counted on cannot
attend. 1t was expected that Gov. Her
Iied would preside. but he is confined to
his room by an attack of grip, and can
not be present. Bishop Thomas O'Gor-
man was another who cannot attend, but
who sends his regrets, and accompanied
it with letter indorsing the movement
and a check for a life membership in the
society.
The bill introduced by Benedict for the
protection of large game provides for
wardens at salary of $50 per month tor
the open season, which shall be the
months of November and December of

must secure before they are allowed to

on affidavit that the animals have been
lawfully killed the hides and horns may
be taken out of the state The amount
of game which any one hunter is allow
ed to kill in one year Is one elk, one
buffalo, three deer, four antelope and one
mountain sheep.
Both houses held short sessions today,
and adjourned out of respect for SEN
ator Cooper in his bereavement of his
wife. The principal bill introduced in the
house was maximum rate bill for ex-
press companies to be fixed by the rail-
road commission. Representative Nc
Dougall introduced a resolution of re-
spect and sympathy for the English peo-
pie over the death of their queen, which
was adopted without a dissenting vote.
Gross, Populist, presented resolution
against the appointing Of a sitting COM
mittee based on the recommendation IN
the message of Gov. Herried, which went
| over for one day.
In the senate the principal bills intro
| duced were to provide that all moneys
received by state institutions shall be
| turned into the state treasury, and pro-
viding that insane persons shall be taken
to the asylum by sheriffs Bills were
passed for the codifcation of laws and
to present Gov. Lee with his chair.

ton of the Soldiers home board, Capt
