LAST SESSION IS
MARRIED BY DEATH
State Senator BoyIand, Of Wall
worth County, Died FRI
day Evening.
SESSION WAS A SAD ONE
In the Midst of a Merry Mock Session
in h House His Death Was An
nouneed-Last Day Not a
Very Busy One.

Pierre, s. D., March 9.-State Senator
Boyland of Walvorth county died Fri
day night, while the last meeting of the
legislature was in session. Tragic and
most sad was the announcement made
in the senate and house. Just as both
houses were congratulating themselves
over h amount of work they had ac-
compiished during the eighth session of
he south k general assembly,
news cast a pail over the body. I'M
mediately all was changed.
The house passing resolutions Of re-
spect and sympathy, a committee was
appointed to attend the funeral. Then
the body adjourned for thirty minutes
out of respect for the deceased.
But little OF interest was done on the
closing day of the legislature. Only the
sponsors of a few pet measures were
and most of these We're gratif1ed.
Evenings Sad Interruption.
Immediately after the senate COM
vened after the recess for supper the
death OF Senator H. G.. Boyland Of
Walworth county was announced.
Senat Boyland had been sick but five
days with an attack of pneumonia. His
condition was regarded as serious from
the first. and his death was erroneous
ly announced Thursday night. How
ever he had a slight rally early in the
day yesterday, and he had a chance
of recovery. The senate was not pre-
pared for the shock, and his death
caused a general feeling Of regret and
upon his colleagues.
Senator Boyland was 70 years of age,
n had been a resident of South Da-
kota for the last twenty years. He was
serving his second term as senator

BLOCKADE AGAIN.
Venezuelan Government Will Restore
Conditions Which Existed Prior to
the European Complications.

Washington. March IA cablegram
received by the state department from
Charge Russell at Caracas states that
he has been notified by the Venezuelan
government that the blockade of June
2S last of the Orinoco river and Ports
C%arupano and Guanta was re-estab-
lished March Z. The original blockade
caused serious friction between Vene-
zuela and the European powers, and
the latter sought to have the United
States join in a notice refusing to
recognize the blockade. This our gov
ernmen declined to do, though its own
shipping suffered. During the opera
tons OF the allies, which involved the
capture Of the Venezuelan navy, the
Venezuelan government was no longer
able to maintain an actual blockade, so
the decree was suspended. Now ships
have been recovered and are able to GO
on the blockade lines. and it is under
stood the conditions prior to the
European complications will repeat
themselves.

IN DARKEST MINNESOTA.
Inhabitants Wed Without License, and
Dead Are Buried Without PRAYER.

-.EH SSNS
st. Paul, Mimi, March 1.-THE most
benighted section of the state of Min
nesota from a religious point of view
has been found in Crow Wing, Cass.
Atkin, Hubbard, Morrison n Mile
Laos counties, in the north part of the
state. In parts Of these counties the
word of God is comparatively un-
known; young men take girls to wife
without any ceremony whatever, and
the dead are buried without ceremonies
or prayer being said over the rough
casket.
In a haystack on a farm a few miles
west of Brainerd, in Grow Wing coun-
ty. rests the frozen body of a 2-year-old
child and there it will remain until the
father finds time to give it burial. In
and near the little settlement of Sylvan
Lake, Crow Wing county, are living
several couples for whom no marriage
ceremony ever was performed. In a
hundred or more graves in various por-
lions Of the northern counties repose
the homes of men. women and children
over whose bodies 40 prayers were
said. Near the little town Of Backus,
forty miles from Brainerd, lives a WON
an who married ten days after the
death Of her first husband, whose body
was buried without religious ceremony
at her kitchen door.
There are no clergymen in the1
places. These are a few of the things
that have impelled the Minnesota Sun
day School association to put a force

MECCA FOR SCHOOL MA'AMs.
Hyde County Ranchmen Take EN-
Away from Schools.

Miller, S. D., March 9.-There@ is al
most a panic in many rural school dis
tricts on account of the large umbe
of marriages in the ranks of the school
ma'ams. The teachers We're sticking
close to their knitting. patiently incul-
eating ideas Of knowledge in the minds
of the young, not particularly COM
planning of their small wages, until the
new settlers commenced to move in.
Many of these happened to be young
bachelors. AS one school director said:
These fellers just went smashed on
the pretty girl teachers, and unsettled
their minds by poking fun at their
small wages. Then the trouble COM
menced, as the marriage records show"
Why" remarked this Disguised d.
rector, we've had three teachers in the
last three months. with the fourth n
now complaining of small wages, a sure
sign of matrimony n trouble" In
some districts old men are being
sought as teachers, while married
women or very old maids are in great
demand. The following card was seen
by a horse buyer tackled to a school
house door in an isolated Hyde county
district, where it had been impossible
to get a teacher:
Teacher Wanted-If single, must be
old and unattractive, as two wealthy
bachelors threaten to marry the next
teacher of this school,"

~klTTREDGE
Secured Recommendation of John L.
Burke for Land Office.

Lead, S. D., March l0.-The influence
Of United States Senator Kittredge is
shown IN the recent recommendations
by the South Dakota delegation of L..
p. Jenkins of Lead for the United
States assay office at Deadwood, and Of
John l.. Burke of Hot Springs to be
receiver of public moneys at the United
States land office in@Rapid City. Mr..
Jenkins was slated for the land office.
Mr.. Kittredge intimated that Mr..
Burke was his favorite for the land Of
flee, and suggested Mr.. Jenkins for the
assay office. The other representatives
from South Dakota were favorable to
jenkins for the and office. Mr.. Kit
tredge carried his point, however. In
Fpcint of desirability there is little choice
between the two Offices. They are
about the best places to be distributed
by the federal government in western
South Dakota, each paying approxi-
mately $1,000 a yea and the friends Of
the two candidates are entirely Salts
fed with the present arrangement.

ELkINs LAW CASE.
Supreme Court Remands an Action for
Retrial Under New Law.

Supreme Court Remands an Action for
Retrial Under New Law.
Washington, March 1.-THE United
States supreme court today rendered Its
first opinion in an interstate commerce
case in which the Elkins act passed at
the last session of congress-, was dealt
with. The case was that of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad company VS.. the
United States, involving the question OF
discrimination on the part OF the rail-
road as between places.
The company filed a demurrer to the
bill challenging h regularity OF the
proceeding, but the lower courts held
the proceeding regular and decided the
case in favor Of the contention of the
United States. These decisions are re-
versed by today's opinion which is de-
liyered by Justice White. He said by
he terms of the old law, under which
the case was tried, the proceeding
would not have been regular; but under
the Elkins law it would be. The court
therefore sent the case back for a new
trial under the Elkins act.

GoRMAN TO LEAD.
Maryland Mar Will Probably Be Chair
man Of Democratic Caucus.

man OF Democratic Caucus.
Washington, March Tt is the gen.
eral opinion ameng democratic SEN
ators that Senator German will be
asked to esum his old place as chair
man Of the democratic caucus.
Another question which probably Will
be taken up is the appointment Of a
member Of the foreign relations COM
n1ittee to succeed Senator Bailey, who
was excused from service on that COM
mittee by the senate Tuesday last on
his own motion.
When he retired he suggested Sen
ator Clark of Montana as his successor,
and as there was no opposition the
suggestion was adopted and Senator
Clark was made a member of the COM
mittee. There is no objection to Sen
ator Clark as q member of the commit
tee. but there is a feeling on The part
of some of the democratic senator's that
the designation of q member Of SO i'm
portant a committee should he left to
the caucus and not to an individual
senator. It therefore seems probable
that the caucu will ask to be allowed
to fill the place. n that Senator Clark
will be named by the caucus.
The vacancies on the steering COM
mfttee will also be filled.

Fortunately, at present the possibility
