Gets .Blues,v Kills Self.

w, Tenney, al old resident of Sioux
Falls, late Monday afternoon shot and
killed himself with a revolver. The
deed was committed in a barn, where
the body was found. Tenney for some
time was engaged in the manufacture
of tombstones in this city. Later he
was in the employ of a local savings
association. Recently it appears his
personal affairs have not been in a con
dition satisfactory to himself, and he
became respondent, with the result that
he decided to end it all by taking his
own life. Coroner George H. Fulford
summoned a jury, which returned a
verdict to the effect that Tenney COM
mitted suicide as the result of despond-
ency. Tenney leaves a widow and sew
eral children.

MEETSSEC0ND DEFEAT.
Judge Smith Holds That
Valued Policy Clause
Is Good.
WILL THEY Be GOOD NOW.
The United States and State
Courts Have Both Decided
Against the Insurance
Companies.

Attorney General Philo Hall, OF
Brookings, was the guest of the Gaia
ract over Sunday. Mr.. Hall in speak
ing or the action on the part of the for
eign insurance companies to break the
legislation enacted by the last legisla-
ture gave a broad smile and said that
they had not succeeded very well so far
aud he thought they would have their
trouble for nothing.
1t will be remembered that the first
steps on the part of the foreign insur-
ance companies was to attack through
the federal court at this place the anti
compact law passed by the last legisla-
ture. They were defeated in this
action. But such corporations as insur-
ance companies do not stop at such
defeats aud the next heard from them
vas an action started in Judge Smiths
court at Mitchell attacking the valued
policy law passed by the last legislature.
The insurance companies met with no
better success in the state courts than
they did III the federal court and Judge
Smith has handed down an opinion in
favor Of the state. The action at
Mitchell was in the shape of an injuuc-
ton restraining State Insurance Com
missioner Perkins from incorporating
in the policies to be used in this state
the valued policy clause. This law pro-
vides that in insurance on buildings the
value of the property as stated in the
policy shall be conclusively considered
as its value in case Of a loss except
where the holder of the policy has conn
ived criminally at the destruction Of
the property. The case was argued for
the state by Mr.. Hall who cited as
authority the decision of Judge Garland
in the United States court in the anti
compact case.
Judge Smith refused the injunction
and held squarely in favor of the state
thus putting himself in line with the
decision of Judge Garland in the federal
court.

Shippers of Cattle Must
Guard Against
Disease.
GOVERNMENT TAKEN HOLD,
The Cattle of South Dakota Are
Quite Generally Affected
With "Scabbies."

Cattle dipping is the one question
which is probably receiving more dis.
cussion in South Dakota than any other
one proposition at the present time.
And it is not a question effecting the
range section of the state alone. Every
shipper of cattle whether he lives in
Lincoln or Butte county, or any of the
counties lying between these two is
vitality interested. The government
has taken hold of the situation, and has
declared the whole state TO be affected
with ~"Scabbies'' or Texas itch, and has
provided regulations for the shipment
of cattle out of the state. One of the
absolute requirements is dipping and a
heavy penalty is provided for attempts
at violation, for either individuals, or
railroad companies. Cattle can be
shipped for slaughter with one dipping,
but they must be shipped in cars which
are plainly marked either exposed
cattle" or infected cattle" as the case
may be. The shipping bills accompany
ing the cars must be also plainly marked
in the same way. This kind of ship
ments apply only to slaughter cattle,
and where they are stockers or feeders
they mnst be dipped a second time.
The government requirements is for
two clippings at periods of from ten to
twelve days apart, and this alone
will give the shipper a clear shipping
bill.
While the cattle wner of the state
have been slow to realize the situation,
they are beginning to wake mp to it, and
dipping tanks are reported TO be under
construction at points all over the state.
The situation as one cattle owner puts
it, is this: I'VE are to be allowed to
ship slaughter cattle with one dipping,
but in marked cars. If they are not for
immediate slaughter, or are stockers or
feeders they must have a second dipp-
ing. When we get our cattle to market,
every. one of them will be classed as
stockers or feeders, and the price will
be run down on us on that account No
matter what grade or quality they are,
the buyers have the ''sinch" on us as
soon as we get on the market, and we
will only get one classification. | am
going to put in a large tank at once and
start to dipping, and get within the
regulations. That is the only thing to
do and | will make money by the pro-
position.
The man is an old shipper, and has
been through the mill often enough to
know what he is against in selling his
stuff, and hundreds of others will find
themselves in that same place if they
do not get their tanks in readiness at an
early date, and it does not matter
whether he is shipping corn-fed stuff
from the southeastern part of the state,
OF grass cattle from the northwestern
part. The whole state is under the ban
and all will be treated alike.

HUNDREDS PERISH
EXCURSION STEAMER BURNS tt

APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE
UPWARDS OF FIVE HUNDRED PER
SONS BURNED TO DEATH
OR DROWNED.

New York, June 15-Ffve hundred
New York. June 16.-Five hundred
persons, mostly children, persisted dur.
ing the day by the burning of the ex-
cursion steamer General Slooum near
He'll Gate, in the East river.
The Slocum, with the annual Sunday
school excursion of st. Marks German
Lutheran church OF this city on board,
was proceeding up the river to one of
When lei One Hundred and Twenty.
fifth street persons on shore saw
smoke and flames spring from the up
per part of the crowded steamer. A
panic ensued on the boat almost in
stantly. The crowds on the forward
deck began to spring overheard or TO
crowd to the after part of the boat.
The creams of the terrified passen'
gers could be heard on shore and hun.
dreds Of small boats Immediately put
of to the rescue. Owing to the rotks
on either side of the channel at this
point it had been impossible to beach
the ship. The captain stuck to his
post at the WHeel anu uSdNSu lHS YES
sci straight up the river tor Noitn
Brother island, where she was put
aground in the shallow water. Sevea a.
hundred feet of open water still a.
between the burning steamer and the
shore and many persons p%e.lsbeG
either in the water or on the baInl15
vessel after she had been beaene-.
1t was estimated that the steamer car
ried more than 1000 persons. She was
the largest excursion steamer in these
waters and could carry 1000 passen7
gers.
The Slocum sailed from the foot o.
Third street, East river, shortly after
9 o'clock. The exact point she haQ
reached when the flames were disoov-
cred in the forward part or the boat
was OF the "Sunken Meadows at the
extreme east end Of Randalls island.
So quick was the spread OF the flames
that the captain Of the Slocum coult
not turn and was forced to make head
on for North Brother island unde;
full steam.

MANY JUMP OVERHEARD
WITH CLOTHING BURNING,

BY the time the Slocum reached One
Hundred and thirty-ffth street the ex-
cursionists, driven to the rail, many
of them with their clothing on hre,
began to jump overheard by twos ana
threes. When One Hundred and
Th~irty-eighth street had been reached
the heat from the fire had become SO
Intense that men. women and children
plunged overheard by the score. There
was a terrific crash when the boat was
beached at the reef at the northern
end of North Brother island, where
she rapidly burned to the waters edge.
1t is said the fire started in the lunch
counter in the forward end OF the boat.
When the alarm spread among the
passengers the hurricane deck was
crowded and when off One Hundred
and Thirty-eighth street this deck col.
lapsed. Many persons were thrown
into the water, but hundreds were pre-,
cipitated into the lower deck, which
was itself a mass of women and chill
dren. A tug of the New York Central
railroad saved nearly a score through
the heroism Of some unknown man.
This man stood on the paddle wheel
box of the Slocum and passed women
and children to the tug until he was
driven back by flames. He then
jumped into the tug himself. Neither
police nor firemen, when they arrived,
waited to remove coats or clothes, but
jumped overheard and saved a great
many who would otherwise have been
drowned.
Many of the bodies recovered were
horribly burned. Wreckers say that
It will be hours before the fire in the
hold Of the boat Is out and the bodies
there can be recovered. Both iremen
and wreckers say that the greatest
loss Of life, extending into the hun
dreds, will be found in the hold.
