FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Pierre, S. d., March 6.-The Iegisla-
ture enters upon the last day with less
work before 1t than ever before was or
South Dakota legislature. The chief
thing is an agreement on general ap-
preparations. The general apportion-
ment bill has been passed, which does
not change the present legislature ex-
cept to give Roberts and Charles Mix
each one additional member. A mill
tary code to harmonize the state guard
with the Dick law passed. The Huron
building bill was killed.

The enate passed house bills repeal
Ing the law requiring that public sup
plies be purchased in the state; provid-
ing for township high schools; placing
a limit of three years on the time in
which recovery car be made on land
sold for taxes; appropriating $500 for
the deficiency at the soldiers home;
appropriating 81, 250 for printing the
code index; providing a penalty for dis
elimination in life insurance rates.
Aliens bill taxing mining stocks was
distracted from the bunch of house
bills passed Thursday in the house and
sen to the senate, and as the bill had
considerable bearing on the volume of
revenues It's disappearance caused
considerable CONSERVATION.
The senate during the afternoon in
dulged in some by-play by presenting
to the sergeant-at-arms a chair which
had been severely criticised by the lat
ter during the session.
Pierre, S. D., March 6.-The house
spent the morning session in a per-
functory passage of senate bills. The
only one arising of interest being the
yUnlf hnDntu 1nHainnny hin mo 80
consideration and passed, sixty-one
votes being in the affirmative. This
bill carries $50, 600 and increases specials
to $66l, 600. The house amended the sem
ate general appropriations by substi-
tuting the house schedule and passed
the same.
The house disposed of over thirty
bills, n a dozen more were sent down
to the senate for final consideration,
after which the senate waited on the
house to act upon any amendments
which might be made in the senate.
The house cleared the calendar by 6
o'clock in the evening, with the excep-
ton of the general appropriation bills,
n these were reserved for the even
ing session and the last hour.
These important senate bills were
passed by the house: Appropriating
100000 TO pay wolf bounty deficiency;
providing regulations for veterinary
practice; appropriating $4,000 for the
payment of senate employees; providing
for the appointment of city assessors;

MINERS WILL GAIN
SPLENDID lI;TORY
Forecast of Anthracite Com
missions Report, Soon
to Issue.
RECOGNITION OF UNION
dining Will Be Done by Weight, Rather
Than by Car Miners to Have
Checking Agents, Equivalent
to Another Raise.

New York, March e.-rhe
Herald prints the following as
summary of the findings Of the
coal strike commission, which il
is expected will be handed to the
president within a week.
There will undoubtedly be at
least a 10 per cent. advance in
the pay for mining, to take ef-
feet from the time the miners
returned to work last October.
The per diem employees will
not have their wages increased,
but will be recommended for the
same pay as heretofore for a day
of nine hours.
Wherever practicable, tho OPP
orators will be required to pay
by weight instead of by the car;
elsewhere by the IineaI yard.
The miners will have a check.
ing representative at their own
, expense. This will practically
amount to a second increase.
There will be indirect reeoe-
milton Of the union.
The causes of the strike as
found by the commission will
not be comforting to the coal
mining companies.
The boycott will be con-
demned, and the principle will
, be laid down that a miner has
the right to work without mo-
; lestation, ven though he does
not belong to the union.
The terms Of the verdict are
to hold good for three years.
Recommendations are made
for the settlement of wage and
, other questions at the end of
that period. In local disputes,
operators will be advised to treat
? with the committees of the min
ers; and there may be a sugsss-
ton for a local board of arbi-
tration.

AVA
Much Attention Attracted by the Two
Representatives OF Addicks' State.

Representatives OF Addicks' State.
Washington, March 9.-The yes OF
the gallery in the senate were turned
with great attention today upon the
two new senators from Delaware. When
Mr.. Alice and Mr.. Bal entered the
chamber they were greeted with ~
plause. 1t had been eight years since
Delaware had been represented in the
United States senate.
]. Frank Alice is 43 years old, and
was born in Dover. He is a practical
Jeweler and for many years has owned
and conducted q jewelry store In
Dover. He never took an interest in
politics till the campaign OF 1890, when
Harry A. Richardson, a republican,
who was his friend, ran for governor.
After that campaign, in which Rich
ardson was defeated, Mr.. Alice enlisted
under Addicks. and because of his cen
trail location at the state capital he vas
made chief Of the Addicks forces. Adj
dicks began showering favors upon him
laVishly His slate-making has result
ed in placing the two lower county Of
fees completely under Addicks' control
n giving Addicks also control of the
state executive force. 1t was Alice who
reluctantly" agreed to allow John
Hunn to be named on a combination as
governor when the regulars asked this
in 1890, and he knew then that John
HUM was a strong Addicks man,
while the regulars were led to believe
they were choosing a regular. He was
made president OF the Delaware State
Gas company a ear ago, and for four
years ne has been q business partner in
many of Addicks' schemes.
Lewis Heisler Ball is a physician by
profession. He served as congressman
from Delaware from 1891 to 1893 inclu-
slve. He was born near Stanton, Del.
September 81, 1861, and had his early
education in Midtown and at the Rug
by academy, Wilmington, Del. He was
! graduated from the Delaware college,
in Newark, and from the medical de-
partmeat of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. He has always been a republic
an. He married Katherine Springer
Justice, a few years ago., and lives at
Falkland, Del, about six miles from
Wilmington. Ball is a regular.

KITTREDGE
Secured Recommendation of John L.
Burke for Land Office.

Lead, S. D., March 1O.-The influence
Of United States Senator Kittredge Is
shown in the recent recommendations
by the South Dakota delegation of l..
=. 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
fee, 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
point 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 approx
mateiy $4,000 a year, and the friends of
the two candidates are entirely salts
fed with the present arrangement.

The profession of bridesmaid seems
to be growing in New York. For some
time 1t has been the habit at weddings
In that city to pay bridesmaids. At o
recent wedding there were no fewer
than fifteen bridesmaids who were al
punctually paid. Besides the beautiful
dresses given by the brides father they
each received SIS apiece for appearing
In the wedding train. There are young
ladies who accept so much as $500 fol
their office OF Honor. One girl who is
much sought after for her beauty has
appeared as bridesmaid at more thar
200 weddings, and has in a short time
amasssd quite a goodly sum besides re.

A Brussels correspondent writes that
the only interesting point about the

one p~hilosophize, when one remembers
that less than ten years ago the royal-

LAST SESSION IS
MARRIED BY DEATH
State Senators BoyIand and
Rudolph Passed Away
Last Evening.
SESSION WAS A SAD ONE
In the Midst Of a Merry Mock Session
in the House the Deaths Are An
nounced-Last Day Not a
Very Busy One.

Pierre, S. D., March Estate Sena
tors Boyland Of Walworth county, and
Rudolph of Lincoln county, died last
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
fuses were congratulating themselves
over the amount of work they had ac-
complished during the eighth session of
the South Dakota general assembly,
and when all was merriment, the sad
news cast a pail over the body. I'M
mediately all was changed.
The house passing resolutions Of re-
spect and sympathy, n 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 lone on the
closing day Of the legislature. Only the
sponsors of a few pet measures were
anxious over the fate Of their bills,
n most of these were gratiied.
Evenings Sad interruption.
Immediately after the senate con-
vened after the recess for supper the
death OF Senator H. G.. Boyland of
Walworth county was announced.
Senator 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 il 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
sadness upon his colleagues.
Senator Boyland was 70 years of age,
and had been a resident Of South Da-
kota for the last twenty years. He was
serving his second term as senator
from his district. The funeral will be
held at Aberdeen tomorrow, and his re-
mains will be taken to his old home in
New York for interment.
