WOULD WORK LEGISLATURE
The Standard Oil Trust Again on
Deck at Pierre.

Bills have neen introduced into bot tn
houses OF the South Dakota legis lature
which have for their purpose amend
ments to the present oil inspection
laws. One of the features is for a re-
duction OF the inspection fees and an
other to change the gravity test from
IS degrees Beaumc to II degrees
8eaumc and the residue test from (
to 10 per cent.
Col. Stewart. the representative OF
the Standard Oil Co., states that these
amendments were offered SO as to per-
NIT Kansas oil to be introduced into
this state, claiming that Kansas oil OF
- degrees Beaumc gravity and 10 per
cent residue was equal in all respects
TO the Indiana and Ohio oil we are
now getting under the present law and
that Kansas oil would be sold cents
per gallon cheaper.
These bills were referred to the COM
mittee on state affairs in both. houses
and Attorney General Hall, in his ap-
pearance before the committees, strong
ly opposed either of these changes.
The committees have decided to have
Prof. Shepard and Prof. Okeley go to
Kansas and make an examination of
oils and report.

When il j. understood that nearly

many unusually attractive designs for

lacy effects will be worn. the style

In either plain or plain effects are new

while for the dress that il to have a
touch OF elaboration there are pretty

is nothing like a trim. becoming

ls infinite variety in the spring coat.
IL ranges from the jaunty, abbreviated
Doiero to the graceful, envelopinp

the simplest shirt-waists as well az
the dressy gowns.
The last cry in things fashionable is
shaded leather especially in the form
OF belts and stocks finished with
buckles OF hammered copper or silver.
The same handsome fabrics that are
used to make the top garments OF older
persons are suitable for the small

designs are not employed, there is
similarity in the long lines and the
graceful fnllness that characterize
them. The sOftest cloth weaves, silk

greater service may be made of heavy

DIR. MONTGOMERY LECTURES
Noted Divine Greeted by Large
Audience at NJ. E. Church

The illustrated lecture given by DIR.
Montgomery Of Minneapolis, at the NJ.
f. church Monday evening was greeted
with Il crowded house. The gross
receipts were over 300.
An accident to the stereopticon ma
chine somewhat marrcd the pleasure
OF the entertainment, bat it was not
generally known that Mr.. Archer, the
operator, was working under great
difficulties all the evening owing to Il
cracked lense probably caused by the
extremes OF heat and cold to which the
lcnse had been subjected during the
day and evening. When Mr.. Archer
attempted to remove the lense after the
entertainment, it fell all to pieces.
Such an accident is liable to occur
at any time and knowing these facts
we are sure there will be no DISPOSE
tion on the part OF any one to criticise
the operator, who was doing the very
best he could with a crippled machine.
DR.. Montgomery, although much
disturbed by the performance of the
machine, succeeded in maintaining
his splendid reputation as lecturer.
OWNING to this unforeseen and
regrettable accident Mr.. Montgomery
feels that he did not do himself justice
but we are sure that il there were any
shortcomings they were entirely over
shadowed by the pleasure of listening
to his magnificent voice and in admi-
ration of the man. The doctors sue
cess as an orator and preacher is shown
in his wonderful personality.
