Prominent Engllshman Is Cigarette
Fiend Of the Worst Kind.
Though enormously rich, Labouchere
enjoys few of the ordinary pleasures
that are supposed to go with riches.
He eats the simplest fare; he never
touches wine except when he is bullied
into taking a glass or two Of mild
claret by medical advice. and then he
swallows Il as though 1t were medi-
cine. He has two weaknesses: one is
his love of cigarette smoking; the
other mania for CHANGING houses and
decorating and rebuilding. He is rare
ly without a cigarette in his mouth;
indeed, this love Of smoking amounts
to something like a passion. Almost
every half hour, even in tho midst of
fierce debate or of a great speech,
Labby may be seen rising from his
seat in his lazy, indolent manner; he

Irrigation Society Organized at Belle
Fourche.
An Irrigation meeting was recently
held by the citizens of Vale. situated
below Belle Fourche on the river, at
which a permanent society was form
ed, with A. Rosander as chairman and
Il. A. Ritter as secretary. There were
discussions in which many points of
irrigation were brought out, and there
were several speakers who contended
that the volume Of freshet water in
the Belle Fourche river was sufficient
to irrigate all the government and
private lands along its course. A
committee of three was appointed TO
draw up a proposition in keeping
with the law of 1901, which has q
clause pertaining to the government
aiding private individuals in irriga-
ton. The proposition is to be sub
mitted to the secretary of the interior
in the near future.

sioner Perkins instructed the Central
Life Assurance Society of the United
States at Des Moines, Iowa, that 1t
must cease writing certain policy in
this state, TO which exception was TAX

President Peake of the society came
to Pierre and after conference with
Commissioner Perkins, in which the
whole matter was thoroughly can

the explanation by President Peake

A man in a smart gray suit and a
soft gray hat was driving a big red
motor car through Thirty-third street
the other afternoon when a woman on
the rear seat OF the tonneau leaned
forward and said something to him.
He pretended not to hear, and she
stood up to repeat In his ear. He
reached down and pulled a lever that
made the machinery roar and caused
the car to buck so violently that she
woman had to drop back into her seat
for safety.

Hobbies and corridors.
Crowds of eager spectators. both
men and. women, thronged the corri.
doris and rotunda of the capitol early
in the day, and the galleries, to which
admission was had by card only, were
taxed to their capacity long before the
hour of assembling arrived.
In the house, except. for the naming
organization was completed. Joseph
c. Cannon of Illinois, whose elevation
tP the speakership was assured some
months ago, was formally elected
speaker and indicted into office. Con-
gresham Williams Of Mississippi was
