JEROME'S BILL LAW
Governor Odell Signs Anti
gambling Measure.
NEW WORKERS NOW MUST TESTIFY
Troy Municipal Measure, Three Ar
mOry Bills and NewcOmb Anti
trading Stamp Bill Also Signed
by the state Executive.

ALBANY, N. T., May 10.-Governoi
Odell has signed five important bills
the SO called Jerome-Dowling witness
bill, admittedly aimed at Richard A.
Garfield and other alleged gamblers In
New York city; the Troy improvement
commission bill, which adds the mayor
ana corporation counsel of Troy to the
local Improvement commission and
thus gives Mayor Hogan control of the
commission, and three armory bills.
Governor Odell has also signed the
Newcomb antitrading stamp bill.
The Bowling witness bill amends the
code of criminal procedure so as to
compel Il witness in a proceeding under
the antigambling law to testify and
provides that his testimony cannot be
subsequently used against him, thus
excluding witnesses in gambling cases
from refusing to testify on the plea of
self determination. The bill was the
subject of one of the battles of the ses-
sion. 1t vas frankly admitted by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome that he desired
this legislation in order to be able to
compel certain prominent New York
men to testify us to their alleged
knowledge of gambling carried on in
well known gambling resorts of New
York city. The decision last winter
OF the court of appeals in the case of
Jesse Lewiston had shown the exist
ing law to be inadequate to compel
witnesses to testify. Tie Bowling law
takes effect Immediately.
The Troy municipal commission bill
of Senator Barnes was also the subject
of much partisan controversy, growing
out of the peculiar political conditions
in that city.
The three armory bills now law are
respectively those of Senator Lewis,
appropriating $780, 600 for an armory
at Rochester; Mr.. Rogers, appropriate
ing $121,000 for one at Binghamton,
and Mr.. De Groot, appropriating $70,-
900 for II at Flushing.
The action on the armOry bills follow
ed an all day conference between the
governor and Legislative leaders, includ-
ing Senators Raines and Mdlby, Speak
err Nixon and Assemblyman Rogers,
over the appropriation and supply bills.
The conference resulted in agreements
as a result of which about 100000
will be cut from the bills as passed by
the legislature.

Proved a Hero.

A hired man in the employ of Fee
TX Gruba, living near Pickerel Lake,
Day county, whose name is unknown,
proved himself a hero by saving the
lives of his employers three children.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Gruba were
absent on a shopping expedition to a
nearby town, their residence in some
mysterious manner caught fire. The
three children, the oldest of whom.is
six years of age, We're in the house at
the time.
The hired man was, at work in the
barn when he discovered that the
house IA on fire. He a to the scene
OF the fire, and, observing that the
children had not escaped, set about
the work of rescue. The flames had
spread to such an extent that he
could not enter the building by any
OF the doors.
Speedily fastening a rope about
himself and throwing one end to a
friend who had been visiting with
him in the barn, he at the risk of his
life burst through a window and res
cued the three children, who were
overcome by smoke.

May Evade the Law.

The shipment of carloads Of original
package orders to Miller, Orient and
St. Lawrence by eastern department
stores Or wholesale houses, first solic-
tied from the farmers by an agent, is
creating new interest in the peddler
law. Some able attorneys claim that
this system of evading the law cannot
be stopped; that the recent decision
of the supreme court u%pholding the
law was based ON another part of it.,
and that the part to prohibit solicitors
and car shipments may yet be declared
unconstitutional. In the meantime
solicitors in some cases are being ar
rested and fined.

SOME o
When Feathers Are Not Mt Hand
There Are Several Good
substitutes.

In these days cushions are used In
every available space, and the matter
of filling is important, as verysfew have
enough feathers to fill a number Of pill
lows, and a nice substitute for feather
pillows can be made by cutting up old.
soft pieces of cloth into small pieces,
and then fraying them a little with the
fingers, says Christian at Work. One
can soon have enough filling for several
pillows by saving the feathers when
dressing a chicken or turkey. Dry the
feathers and put them in a bag; then
devote some idle hourt to stripping these
feathers, throwing away the quills and
putting the down in another bag made
of muslin, and the feathers should be
washed and dried in the bag before
using. In lieu of feathers, very comfort
able cushions may be made OF paper
that is not too stiff. Cut any clean pa
per into strips about a quarteraof an
inch wide and three or four inches long.
then curl with n blade OF q pair Of
scissors, fill the ticks with these. and
you will have a nice foundation for the
covers. While the biscuit covers are
hardly new, they seem to have come
into favor again, andsthere is certainly
no other cover so beautiful that can be
made with so small ian expenditure.
They are made of silk or worsted pieces.
and the blending of colors may be varied
to please the makers fancy, but where
one has q variety of pieces, the, best way
to arrange them is like patchwork,
alternating the light and dark gcolors.
The popularity Of coverings made OF
washable fabrics seems ever increasing,
and their decorative possibilities are
great, and there are no prettier cover
ings than those made Of sheer white
materials to be used over a bright un-
dercover. While these covers are easily
soiled, they are also easily washed, and
they are made beautifully white anG
clean by washing them through a warm
pearline suds and then rinsing carefully,
first in clear water, and then in thin
starch water, slightly blued. If a good

1t is found that South Dakota for

more wealth per capita than any 9th
