commented upon among critical observ-

STOCK TO ABSORB EARNINGS

The Senate Committee on the District
OF Columbia met today at the Capitol In
regular session and considered a num-
Der of bills of much interest locally.
one OF the most important of them Is
bill introduced by Senator Foster of
Washington to reduce the price of gas
in the District by amending sections 1
and of the act relating to this subject.
Mr.. Fosters bill was introduced last
Tuesday and referred to the District
Committee for consideration. Its pre-
amble alleges that the Washington Gas
Light Company has, without warrant
Of law, issued and delivered to the
stockholders of said company a stock
bonus of 81, 100000 for the purpose of
absorbing the large surplus earnings
of the company"
Seventy five Cent Rate.
The changes proposed by the bill are
that after July l. 1904 the washington
and Georgetown Gas Light companies
are authorized TO charge ''for illuminat-
ing gas furnished to and paid for by
private consumers in the District OF Co
lumbia at the rate of not exceeding
10 cents per 1.00O cubic feet; provided,
that If consumers other than the Gov
eminent shall not pay monthly any gas
bill within ten days after presentation
the company may charge and collect 81
per thousand cubic feet for the gas fur
nished said consumer during said
month; that if either of said companies
charges and collects an amount in ex-
cess of that fixed by the preceding sec
ton such company shall forfeit its char
ter rights In the District Of Columbia,
and 1t shall be the duty of the District
Attorney for the District Of Columbia to
prosecute such offending company for
such violation"
The officers Of the Washington Gas
Light Company refuse to discuss the bill
asking for reduction Of the gas rate.

Why not place the capital in the
Bad Lands and get something out OF
them for the state? II the capital is
to be located for the purpose of gild-
ing pewter and drawing suckers why
not place it in the furthermoSt COR
ner of the state-way off in the north
west portion. The fact that there is
no railroad to that point ought not to
make any difference. Put the capital
there and a railroad would be built
sooner or latter-of course. Then

Mitchell newspapers are fond of
using the argument that the state
capitals of Nebraska, Kansas and a
number of other states are not located
near the geographical center of those
states. That is true. The capitals of
those states were located when the
states were tirsG admitted to the
union, and in spite Of the fact that
the locations are far from the center
or population, have never been remov-
ed.-Pierre Capital-Journal.
The capital of Nebraska was located
at Lincoln in the eastern part OF the
state about forty years ago. Today
the population of the east half of the
state is $4,000. That Of the west half
with four lines of railroads through
it-123, 900. 1t looks as if the capital
was located about right, doesn't it?
In Kansas 1t is just the same as to
the division of population. In all
three states-South Dakota, Nebraska
and Kansas about eighty-tive per
cent OF population is in the east half
OF the states respectively. The capitals
of Kansas and Nebraska respectively
were not only near the center Of pop
ulation when located, but are as near
that point today as then. Anyhow, If
either or both were to be placed at
the exact center Of population they
could not be moved west foot, The
Capital-Journal better stear clear Of
Kansas and Nebraska comparisons.

Alex McInnis, one of the most
prominent and best known citi-
zens of the county died at his
home on the Oci1la road about
two miles from the city, last
night about 9 o'clock.
He had been sick about two
weeks with smallpox of a most
malignant form, and while it was
known that he was seriously i'll
yesterday, nobody seemed pre-
pared for the announcement of
his death.
He was native of the county
aud for many years has been one
OF it's most conspicuous citizens.
With his brother, Sheriff Nc
Innis, he was a potent factor in
the county's politics for years,
and he will be greatly missed in
the county and by his family and
neighbors.
His death from smallpox will
very naturally arouse his neigh
bors to the serious consideration
of measures to check the spread
of the malady. For several years
the type of smallpox throughout
this section of the state, indeed
throughout most of the states of
the union, has been of an exceed
ingly mild form, but it appears
that this is no longer true, and
what was considered buffalo
itch" two years ago is now re-
garded as a viru1ent type of
smallpox.
Very naturally people will be-
gin to inquire what is to be done.
although the question has long
been settled in the minds of the
medical profession. There is
but one neutrality-suspicious..
The Enterprise sincerely de-
p1ores the death of Alex McInnis.
He was a personal friend, and
away above the average citizen.
We trust that his family will es-
cape further serious trouble from
the infection.
