Proceedings ot the
s Week in the 80.
State Law Mill 49,.

Pierre, s. d., Feb. 1.-THE matter
uppermost in the affairs OF legislation
at the taking OF the recess last Thurs
day was that Of insurance legislation.
The valued policy insurance people Of
the house made their first direct move
yesterday in the way of a motion by
Gerhard ordering the insurance COM
mittee to report to-day on house bill
No. 140. The motion was passed with
out protest. The question of a valued
policy law is n which the people of
the state are beginning to express
themselves pretty strongly on, and
their feeling on the matter has taken
shape in the way of petitions to their
members in regard to the matter,
Lincoln county has sent a strong petit
ton to her members demanding such
legislation, and other counties are get
ting into line on the question. The
state mutuals have been asking delay
on the matter, but the sentiment is
growing so strong that all indications
at the present time point to action.
OF course as no legislation in this di.
rection has passed either house the
forces which are working to prevent
it may succeed III stopping the meas
ure before 1t becomes a law, but the
house at least is determined to rush
the bill. They claim also to be in
shape to force the measure through
the senate, and as that body is begin
ming to show signs of little need of
forcing, the chances are that there will
be things doing.
An effort to push the bill for an ap-
preparation for the st. Louis exposi-
ton yesterday resulted in that meas
ure being made a special order for
Feb. "a. Both houses took action on
the suggestion of Gov. Herreid, and
introduced resolutions making each
county treasurer a receiver of funds
for the benefit Of the famine district
of Northern Europe.
The principal house bills introduced
were to make a ~penitentiary sentence
begin at the time of commitment; to
regulate the hours of employment il
mines; to appropriate $50, 900 for a
Irvine plant at the ~penitentiary, and
In anti-compact insurance bill. The
house passed bills to prohibit prostitu-
ton, and legalizing the incorporation
of the town OF Henry. The principal
senate bills introduced were to make
the salary of the public examiner ST.
600 per year; to prohibit the forma-
ton of combinations and trusts, and
licensing solicitors for benevolent or
CARNATIONS.
The Torrens transfer of title meas
ure, which was introduced by Price,
ny request, will hardly secure any
great recognition at the present ses-
sion. The measure introduced is a
copy Of the Illinois law which is now
in effect in that state, and makes the
operations of the law optional with
the property owner. He may list his
land under that system or continue
the present system of transfer, just as
he chooses. While 1t is not at all like
ly that the measure will be taken seri.
ously at this session, 1t is but a ques-
ton Of time until it will be put in op-
Grafton in South Dakota, and the, soon
er that time ONE the less expense
will be attached to the work of start
ing it.

Pierre, S.. D., Feb. 16.-The talking
point of the house Saturday afternoon
was over the senate bill to make the
the state flower, which called
out a half hour of talk in attempts to
amend by substituting the sunlower,
wild rose or gumbo lily in its stead.
Half a dozen members begun TO warm
up before it was discovered that there
was an error in the work of the en-
crossing force, and the bill was sent
back for correction.
The principal house bills introduced
were those TO require county auditors
to keep a duplicate set of records of
real estate transfers in counties; to
take insane from the soldiers home as
state charges, and making 1t the duty
of real estate owners to cut weeds
along highways adjoining their lands.
A number CT house bills were rushed
through on the third reading, the only
one which called out anything o
than the voting being the measure fix
ing a penalty to letting a child under
fifteen years of age handle firearms,
and on this an attempt was made to
reduce the age limit to twelve, and
several other figures. The bill finally
passed without amendment by IS to
rs. Other bills Of Importance passed
we're to fix a permanent militia camp
ground at Lake Kampeska; prohibit
ing public officials from securing sup
plies from any firm in which they have
a financial interest; a deficiency APP
preparation to pay salary due Judge
Julian Bennett; and fixing bond Of
state treasurer ct half a million dol
lars.
Senate bills passed by the house
were to appropriate money for burial
of o., elders, and to appropriate
mons. efficiency in the fund for
transporting prisoners to the peniten-
tiary. The house committee reported
f~avorably on the resolution for a on
stitutional amendment to allow county
superintendent to hold more than two
terms.
The senate passed the house bill
providing for taxation of certain insur-
ance companies; and senate bills to
make ~convicts In the penitentiary
competent witnesses, and prov ding
for dissolution of cities of less than
200 population. Senate committees

being over the valued policy bill, was

CORN HAS IMPROVED.
The Government Report Shows a Big
Crop Increase.

New York, Oct. 12.-Figures of the
government crop report indicate an in
crease in the yield of corn of nearly
Is million bushels, and a decrease in the
total wheat crop of about 10 million
bushels. The report shows an improve
ment in the condition of the corn crop
in the month of September which as
tonished traders who remained in Wall
street to obtain the government figures.
! According to the official estimates
prepared by the statistieian Of the pro-
duce exchange. the yield of corn this
year will amount to 2,307, $50, 900 bush
els September 10 last the estimates of
the crop placed the yield at 2.2s9, 100000
bushels. In September there was an
Improvement in the condition of the
growing corn which seldom occurs at
that time. IN the total weld of wheat.
the government bureau revises its Au-
gust estimate of the spring wheat crop
and says the yield increased from 1879
bushels an acre in August to IA for
the October estimate. This increase in
the yield resulted in a total increase
in the yield of spring wheat of about
8 million bushels. notwithstanding this
increase the total crop Of both winter
and spring wheat is decreased by the
final estimate from the September es-
innate of $50 SAL. 900 bushels to 659.02S,
600 for October.
The cereal market had closed when
the government crop report came out
and very few grain brokers remained
until 4 o'clock, when the figures began
to appear. The consensus of opinion
was that the figures We're extraordina-
rily better than were expected in view
of the weather in the corn belt in Sep
TENDER. when the stories of cold waves
and ice and snow sent shivers through
stock and financial circles in the east.
In fact many refused to believe that
the corn crop had made the reported

showed that corn made an improve
