CHAPTER IN.

John L. Wright left no VIII. and
the settlement of his estate became
involved at once in difficulties that
were never anticipated by his family
1t had never been "A happy family
for the reason that Wright was n
cold, auStere man. who long ago had
banished anything like tenderness
FROM his heart His family were to
him merely part of his establish
ment. They were, he knew, against
him in the quarrel with Herbert. and
he would never permit them to men
ton the name of his son. while he
made it impossible for them to aid
the young man in his pecuniary dis
tress. Mrs. Wright's life did not diff
fer very materially from that of a
captive who has lived in comfortable
quarters aiid had all that could be
wished in the way of clothing and
food. SucI thing as amusement
never entered her thoughts. AS for
Miriam, her life was deeply embit-
tered. Her sympathy for her mother
had made her almost hate her father.
and her breast was filled with rebel
instincts only awaiting favorable
opportunity to break forth; but the
opportunity never came. Her father
always treated her as If what she
thought was of absolutely no conse-
qucnCC; and aS for what she should
do, he would determine that. No
doubt the time would havc come
when Miriam would have FLASHED with
her stern father, and as it was the

| have come out victorious.

The general bill carries in the
neighborhood of ST 100000, making
the total appropriations of the ses-
siou about s1,875.000 for the next
biennial period.
The legislature, which closed its
sessions at4oclock Saturday morning
but which by courtesy must be
understood to have ''cut it out" at
midnight Tuesday, has left some
what remarkable record as measured
by the previous legislatures Of South
Dakota.
Two hundred and ninety seven
bills were introduced in the house.
as compared with 282 at the last
previous session, and 239 senate bills
as against pa two years ago. Two
hundred and forty four bills passed
both houses and became laws, as
against 200 at the last session.
Only two amendments were sub
mitted to the much patched consti-
tuition, one for capital removal, the
other providing more liberal pro-
visions for loaning the school funds
chiefly raising the limit to one
borrower from Sl,00G to 5000.

by the constitution for both lOoS
and 1908.
Next to the revenue, insurance
matters have beenof greatest interest
and laws providing for the valued
policy against compacts between
companies have been enacted.
There are also other acts OF minor
Importance namely, forbidding
companies to profit by rebates OF
any portion Of tLe premium to appii-
cants for life insurance; exempting
fraternities from taxation; extending
the time in which companies may
| file their statements from February
to March, and extending the field of
operation of mutuals to all classes OF
risks
There have been some radical
changes in the educational law, chief
Eof which are the Kehm law for the
certifcation of teachers by the state
superintendent, the Carroll Jaw Civ
ing free high school privileges to
rural pupils who have passed the
eighth grade. and to Stoddatd act
/ for county high school.
The school tax levy was increased
to 25,000.000 rnd the limit of
Indebtedness to 3 per cent of the
assessment.
Very wisely the Legislature enacted
the revised codes as they came from
the commission as it was manifestly
impossible within the short limit OF
the session to have trayersed the
entire subject But few defects have
as vet been discovered in the work
and they were cured by special
amendatory enactments.
/ In appropriations the Legislature
made it's most radical departure,
The total sum appropriated reaches
| 81 100000, The total at the last
session was 81, 100000, making the
increase a net half million.
New salaried positions are one
new Judge at $1,000 a year; five
regents at $1,000 five members OF
charity boards at $500; secretary
Of state historical society. 1900
