WORSE THAN A CRIMINAL.
Anti-Football Bill Makes PLAYERS Sub
iect to Very Severe Penalties.

a4'--J .A-
Pierre, S. D., Jan. 23.-The text of the
a~nti-football bill introduced by Senator
Northrop of Minnehaha, by request,
makes 1t certain that 1t will never. be-
come a law in the state of South Da-
kota. The provisions of the bill are
very severe, and under 1t the standing
Of the football player is v e worse
than that of a criminal. A player
makes himself liable to a fine of 81 900
and five years Imprisonment, while by
simply announcing his intention to
play he is subject to being placed un-
der a heavy bond.
There Is no hope for the bill. When
the bill was jokingly referred to the
committee on public health 1t went to
q committee that will give 1t it's quietus.
Frieberg, chairman of the committee, is
an alumnus OF the state university,
and an ardent supporter Of the game.
The full text of the bill Is as follows:
Senate Bin, No. IA bill for an act to

tlenge or agreement, or cause the same

for, shall, upon conviction thereof, be Inn
prisoned in the penitentiary not exceeding
two years or pay a fine of $500, or by both
such fine and imprisonment. as the court
shall direct.
Sec. 2. Whoever by previous appoint
mentor arrangement, meets any other

plant made before any Judge or Justice of
the peace, appear about to engage in any
such game OF football, may be compelled

peace.
Sec. 4.All acts or parts OF acts In con-
ftict Whit provisions OF this act are

HARD ON RUsTLERs.
S~tockmer Want to Make Stealing Of a
Single Head of Stock Grand

Pierre, S. D.. Jam. 22.-The adjournment
today and the senatorial election makes
the work Of this week simply formal.
There Is a general expectation that the
real life will begin next week,
The onslaught which has been made up
On quail during the last three years has.
aroused the apprehension of sportsneni
est the little birds become extinct. koe-l
mig of Bon Homme, which is the best
quail grounds in the state, has a bill to-
absolutely protect Their. from March l
next until March l, 1908.
The bill presented by MIR. Hale of
Meade on behalf of the stockmen's associ-
alton, making it grand larceny to steal
| any single head of live stock, regardless
Of the value of the animal, is being OPP
posed by Bromley and others. The stock
men want the bill because they frequent
ly are able to prove the theft of a single
animal against some one of the band of
thieves which infest the range, but are
not able to show that more than the sin
gle beast was taken and upon conviction
can only impose nominal punishment.
With a grand larceny definition of such
crimes they hope to break up much of
the thieving. Bromley's objection is the
one which has always maintained the
distinction between grand and petty lar
ceny.
Under the general municipal incorpora-
llOl act village JuSllCeS are permitted o..
impose fines for the violation of ordi-
nances In sums not exceeding $40. Allen
of Moody has a bill to remove the limit
and permit fines in the discretion of the
court. s.
Dillon Bill Under Consideration.
The Dillon bill for creating a special
maintenance fund for Yankton asylum,
which passed the senate without dissent
is being 'stood up in the house. The
counties pay for the maintenance of the
, insane 81 per week for each patient. This
produces a fund of about 100000 per year.
For care and maintenance proper it costs
the state about $50, 900 per year, but the

to about the amount aet1fA counties

apart additional funds for field artil-

The arsenal is at work on an order

A MUCH DESIRED STREET
RAILWAY EXTENSION

1t Is hoped that ut tonights meet
ing of the city council the ordinances
providing for the east sections of the
Longview loop of the Tri-City Rail
way company's lines in Rock Island,
ana which. while pending for some
time, have been uuaVoidablY delayed,
viii be finally passed. The passage
of the desired ordinances now Will
mean the completion of this addition
To the local street railway system
forthwith, but if for any cause the
company be baked in its desire to
provide the facilities insured in the
ordinances, it would be apt To turn
its attention to improvements else
where. and Rock Island would be
obliged To wait another year for the
completion of this long anticipated
line. The route as heretofore dcscTib-
ed and for which the board Of super
visors has done its part in cncourag-
ing the Eighteenth avenue portion,
promises much not only in the way of
enhancement of the value of the prop
erty directly affected and in the open
ing of new residence territory, but in
providing means of local transporta-
ton that will prove a benefit and an
advantage to the business interests
of the city.
