Reason That the Suit Was

regard to Oil shipments which did not
hll the requirements of the state law
took a new phase in the circuit court

pefore the court and moved the dis
mlssal OF the case, giving as his reasons
that III beginning the suit he had mere
ly acted for the attorney general on a
SUIT Tor test case only and that at
present 1t appeared that Attorney Cen
efai Hall would take no further action
IN the matter, claiming that when the
SUIT was started it was under an un-
aerstandinS that the case was to test
the gravity provisions of the new law,
Whlle now the defense had brought into
Inc case the Interstate commerce pro-
visions of the law governing shipments
in original packages. On account of the
withdrawal from the suit Of the attor-
hey general the motion to dismiss was
made
Attorneys Horner and Stewart, for
the defense, strenuously opposed the
dismissal OF the case, and the release
OF their client. as they desired the
Whole matter to go to trial, and they
denied any agreement to try only on
the gravity provisions of the law and
GAINED the right Of their clients to
raise any point in the case when they
went to trial; that the interstate COM
merce phase of the law was as vital in
their case as any other part of it, and
that they should not be deprived Of any
OF their rights in the case on account
or the failure or refusal of the attor-
neyS to act in the matter.
After hearing the arguments Judge
Gaffey withheld his decision until De-
cenber 4, the date set for the trial of
he case.

the Annual interc!ass Contest.
Vermillion, s. D., Nov. 23.-The most en-
thusiastic game of football ever played
in this city was pulled of on the univer-
sity gridiron Saturday afternoon. For
some time previous teams from the junior
and senior classes had been preparing for
the contest and it was only a matter of
speculation as to who would win when
the men lined up for the final struggle
This was the first interciass game ever
played at the university, but there will
undoubtedly be many games from this
time on. The juniors were victorious last
Saturday winning by a score Of 10 to O..
Two hundred spectators witnessed the
game which was by no means an unin-
teresting one. The juniors kicked off to
the seniors, who. after couple of downs
lost the ball on a tumble. The juniors
then started down the field at rapid
pace, end runs by Beebe and Lehne figur-
ing conspicuously in ground gaining.
Finally Fickey went around right end for
touchdown. Lehne missed goal The
first half ended without further scoring.
In the second half after the ball had
changed hands several times, Beebe got
away from the dignified seniors and
scored the second touchdown Kick for
goal again failed. With only a few min
utes left to play, Lehne made a beauti-
ful place kick from the 30-yard line This
latter feat is something the first team of
the U. has not thus far ACCOMPLISHED
E1fteen-minute halves were played. In
line smashes the seniors eXcelled, but thew
were slow on their feet and made nanv
costly fumbles

E. T. WARE TO RESIGN.
Commissioner of Pensions viii Leave
Office in a Year.

Office in Year.
Washington, Nov. 26.-It can be an
nounced that Eugene F. Ware, the
commissioner OF pensions, will retire
from that Office by about the middle Of
November next year, and will return
Immediately to the practice OF law in
Kansas. His contemplated action is
generally understood among Kansas
politicians and has been the subject of
several interviews with the president,
Which have been kept secret.
The decision to resign and return to
private life is the result of his long felt
dissatisfaction with the nature OF the
duties of his office. He had not been
in the office long before he began to feel
the effect of the large amount Of
routine work that devolves upon the
head of the Office, and, as time wore
on, the demands that his work made
on his time and strength, and the con-
slant friction that has been incidental
to the office under every administra
ton, led to his distaste for the place
Mr. Ware has insisted on the expedi-
ton Of the work of his bureau and i'm
provement of the standard of service
performed by It's personnel, and it is
said to be probable that the work of
the office will be brought up to date by
the 1st of July, the beginning OF the
next fiscal year.
A number of candidates have already
developed. X-Representative Richard
Whiting Blue, who was the representa-
tive at large from Kansas during sew
eral sessions of congress, and ex-Repre-
sentative Samuel Powers of Kansas,
nave been mentioned in connection with
the successorship of Mr.. Ware.
1t is said that the president has not
yet reached decision as to whom
he will select

NEW LIGHT PLANT.
Madison Having Success with Munici
pal Ownership of Light and Water.

pal Ownership of Light and Water.
Madison, S. D., Nov. 25.-The city of
Madison has just invested $4,000 in ad-
ditional scy-eng;ne, boilersand
dynamo-for the municipal electric
light plant, giving the plant 65 and 95
kiloWat capacity in dynamos, an SIS and
l75 horse power in engines, and a 200
and 100 horse power in boilers.
Madison was the first city in the
state to put in municipal waterworls
and an electric light plant, and it's sue
cessful operation has been an encour-
agement for other towns. Its combined
receipts from water and light nov eS-
ceed $4,000 per year, the whole being
supervised by mayor who gets the
munificent salary OF SIS per year, and a
common council whose members re-
ceive $25 per year. The actual oper-
ating official, the superintendent, is
paid salary of $75 per month, and his
assistant $50 per month.
While private concern could un-
doubtedly make more money out of the
city light and water than the munich
pality, still, under municipal control
the Madison system has been reason
ably successful, in that the city has
been thoroughly lighted as to streets
without expense. The total investment
in the plant, for water and light equip
ment, now approximates $4,000, a
moderate portion Of which has been
earned by the plant.
