Sioux Falls, S. d., Jan. 24.-An effort
will be made during the present session
of congres to secure an appropriation
of 5000, 900 for the construction OF an
addition to the government building in
this city. The building was erected
twelve years ago at a cost of $3.50
and at that time was believed to be
sufficiently large to answer all purposes
for at least twenty years.
However, the rapid growth of Sioux
Falls and Of the business of the post
office and government officials has re-
suited in the building already becoming
too small for the purpose for which is
was designed. If the appropriation is
secured. every dollar of it can be put
into the addition, as the government
already owns sufficient land to accom-
modate Ii addition to the present
structure.

1t cost H. C. Compton lot of money to
make his losing race for member of the
Alabama railroad commission He certi-
fies to the secretary of state that he spent
$299769 made up as follows:
Postage, cards and stationary, s2l2675;
hotels, $12S; livery. $1s450; railroad fare,
$3.50; newspapers, s32A6O; cards, $159; en-
Pertaining friends, s26.25.
This is by far the largest expense filed
for the recent race and indicates that
Mr. Compton has good reason to do ev-
erything possible to secure the place If
he can.
Congressman Wash Taylor of the First
district testifes that his expenses were
s18S90, divided up into small accounts.
The secretary of state has also been
notified of the nomination of Charles p.
A1non as judge of the Eleventh circuit,
composed of the counties of Lauderdale
Colbert, Franklin and Marion. The race
was lively, there being three candidates
in the field.

The more one studies the associate

sented: Suppose the committee should de-
clare that Major Harris has right to
the place, the contention that he Is a
resident Of the same Congressional dis
trict as Charles Henderson, the leader in
the race being disproved, and he should
be elected? Would not some one take
his case into the courts and have a legal
decision on the subject?
The prospect of the whole matter get
ting into controversy has been the main
topic of conversation for several days.
Every one Is looking forward to the trial
of the case by the committee, and the
decision will be watched with intense in
terest. The whole thing hinges upon the
right of Major Harris. Has he, or has he
not legal residence in the Sixth district
Many think he has. Others contend that
he has not, so the matter at last. may
have to be fought out in the courts to
determine just what Is a legal residence.

II there was no other side to his posi-

WOMAN'S BODY FOUND
IN HOUSE ON MOUNTAIN
1t Is Thought That Miss Mary Lyman
Committed Suicide for
Love.

Decatur, September -(Special)-A
farmer by the name of Burt Seaman, re-
siding on Sand mountain, was in the city
today and told of most mysterious sui
eide or murder, which took place in his
neighborhood few days ago.
On Wednesday of this week the body
of a young lady named Miss Mary Lyman
was found by her relatives. lying in an
old house which had been unoccupied for
several years. The body looked as though
death had only taken place a few hours
before the discovery. There were no marks
of any kind on the body, neither could 1t
be learned whether or not she had taken
poison. 1t is the general belief, so the
farmer stated. that the young lady had
committed suicide In some way and his
reasons for believing this. he said was
due to the fact that she was in love with
a young man of the neighborhood and her
parents had objected to their marriage.
The young woman was about % years
of age and well connected.

meat, Mr.. First ran his arm into the log
and grabbed the animal by the tail. When
he did this the animal growled the louder

The cat clawed and kicked and scratched
terribly, and although Mr.. First was get

UNITY THE REMEDYTO
PREVENT SCRIP SELLING
Board of Revenue Condemns the Prac-
tice, But Has No Authority
to Prevent 1t.

Yesterday the Board of Revenue re-
ceived an opinion in writing from its
legal adviser anent the scrip selling, which
has been creating so much discussion in
court house circles for the past week
The gist of the opinion is to the effect
that the sheriff Board of Revenue, grand
jury and judges get together" on the
subject instead of holding conflicting
views and post notices in the lobby and
corridors of the court prohibiting what
they may be pleased to designate
nuisance.
The Board of Revenue wishes to go
on record as condemnng the practice, but
admits its inability to suppress it.
The board adjourned yesterday and
will not meet until next Tuesday In
the meantime the members will consider
the advisability of seeking legislation on
the subject.
According to the calculations of one of
the members of the board the Scrip
which is now being sold for 80 or 40
cents on the dollar will be worth its full
face value in three or four years.
