OLD SOLDIERS AT HURON
Grand Army of the Republic to Meet
at Huron Instead of at Hot
Springs This Summer.

\ change has been made in the
location for holding the encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic
from Hot Springs to Huron. When
the encampment was held at Yank-
ton last summer the old soldiers ac-
cepted an invitation from Hot
Springs TO meet there this year, as it
was fully expected that either the
Milwaukee or Northwestern roads
would have their extension COM
|pleted to Rapid City by the middle of
he summer.
1T commenced to appear a week
ago that the railroads would have
no connection across the reservation
early enough in the summer for the
old soldiers to get there on a cheaper
rate than they would have to pay by
going around via Sioux City. The
council of administration took up
the matter of finding a new location.
and Sioux Falls got red hot after the
encampment. Some trouble came up
in the Sioux Falls post over the
alleged attempt to swipe the encamp-
ment away from Hot Springs, and
as a result of the trouble Huron
stepped in and secured it. The en-
campment will be held the first week
in June.

WILL USE REFERENDUM
Opponents to Electric Light Franchise
Ordinance VIII Insist on a
Vote This Spring.

At the spring election there will
be d little more than the ordinary
excitement of electing just the alder
men and the members of the board
of education, as this is the off year
in the spring election-that is the
Wear when we don't have to elect
.the mayor.
some excitement is promised by
the vote that will be taken on the
electric light franchise ordinance.
The passage of the ordinance by the
.citH council does not make it law UNI
til at least twenty days have passed,
as until that time it is subject to
the referendum law OF the state.
In conversation with several parties
this morning who have been opposed
10 the ordinance, they stated that a
petition would be circulated to Sc
cure the signatures of one-fifth of
the voters of the city, according to
the number of votes cast at the last
election, asking the city council to
give the citizens an opportunity to
Vote ON the electric light franchise
at the spring election in April. This
petition Will have to be filed with the
city auditor before the expiration of
twenty days after the passage of the
ordinance.
Just how an election on the prop
@osition would result is a question.
Before the ordinance was passed
both sides We're securing the sigma
lures of people to petitions request
ing the council to reject and to adopt
the ordinance. These We're signed
with about equal numbers, the cleo
trio light people claiming to have
had ove 400 names on their petit
ton. The amendments that were
passed with the ordinance has had
the effect of tempering the public
mind to a considerable extent.

Got Their Vacation.

Knowing hal tomorrow would be
a legal holiday, on account of Wash
ington's birthday, the students in
the South Dakota Business College
presented a petition to the manage
ment of the school asking for a vaca-
ton day tomorrow. The students
got all they asked for and We're in
formed that they might start in on
their vacation this afternoon. They
have been giving a close application
to their work during the winter and
the prospects of a holiday was highly
satisfactory to them.

THE RATE BILL AT LAST
CARROTS Rate Bill Had a Successful
Inning in the House With a
Full Vote.
Full Vote.

Pierre, Feb, gil Especial TO The
Republican, y CAROLS rate bill
came up at the head of the calen-
dar this morning when it's author
moved an amendment, cutting out
ian of the main provisions of the bill
aud substituting the existing law
with a limitation of two and one-half
cents instead of three and placing
the PRONUNCIATION of the rate in the
hands of the railway commission to
be done when they determine that
the rate is equitable.
There was no opposition to the
bill and eighty-three votes We're cast
for it. All provisions relating to
mileage books are omitted from the
measure.
On the bill to repeal the law Gre
ating an insane hospital at Water
town, the committee returned AN ad-
verse report and Scott, the intro
ducer of the bill, attempted to
change the report. Glass was busy
for a time defending his town as a
good location for an insane asylum
and was opposed by Scott, Olson,
Van Osdel and Biebelheimer, who
thought the state of South Dakota
should not put itself in line for adj
iditional institutions, while Satire
backed Mr.. Glass in his appeal to
leave the present law stand, and the
bill was voted down by a vote OF
lforty-three to thirty-siX leaving the
Jaw locating the institution yet on
the statute book. 1SSenhuth called
up his negotiable instrument bill in
a special order and made the first
request of the session for a call of
the house, which was responded to
by the sergeant going into the halls
and the cloak-roomS and rounding
up members without closing doors.
The bill vas a long one and the farm
sers of the house We're afraid of it.
They preferred to continue in a sys-
lCEl bLiVS GU Soo lpdi
and rather than take chances on
something new which a so com
plicated mat they could not be GER

bill to place the powers of attorney
of the railroad commission under the
control of the attorney general and
the appointment of a scale inspec-
tor in the hands of the governor Was
defeated by a vote of %forty-two to
forty and was opposed by Foster,
Parmley, Eastman, Browne and by
Price.
The senate held a short session
receiving a number of new bills and
passing senate bin adding the du-
ties of fire marshal to the insur-
ance department, and the standard

SWINE BREEDERS NEXT WEEK
A Two Days Meeting Will be Held
and One Day for Sailing Thor
ougbbred Hogs.

and One Day for Sailing Thor
%ougbbred Hogs.
Aouut all the conventions for the
are over with, and with one
exception there is nothing SEIZED
uled for Mitchell until April 90,
when lhe South Dakota Furniture
Association meets here. The excep-
ton noted is The convention of the
South Dakota Swine Breeders Asso-
citation, which will be held on Tues
day, Eednesday and Thursday OF
next week. A bristling program has
been prepared for the occasion, and
as the hog men in the association
are noted Tor good talking qualities,
it is expected hat there will be some
interesting papers and discussions
brought out, for these breeders are
noted to thresh over the subject UNI
Til the last kernel is shelled out.
Every swine breeder in the state
should come to Mitchell for this
meeting as it is an important one,
from the fact that the future exist
ence OF the association is at stake.
AT the recent meeting of the I'm
proved Live Stock Breeders conven-
ton an invitation was extended to
the swine breeders to amalgate with
the live stock men. The live stock
men thought that it would be a good
idea to get these two associations to-
Sether and make the one a strong
one. The swine breeders come to
the live stock meeting and have their
swine sale each year, and it appeared
that ii would be good business policy
to go to the expense of holding two
conventions so close together.
One of the features of the conven-
ton is the sale of thoroughbred
hogs which will be made on the last
day, Thursday, at IL O'Clock. The
secretary, S. A. Braa, of Artesian,
states that there will be some of the
best animals of the state on sale
and the heads of several herds will
be sold.
The following is the program for
the convention:

Committees will wait upon the

response, and that Lafayette
will not fail to give the members
of the press a most cordial and

The Cane Crop.

La. Planter.
The warm weather, which has
prevailed cOntinuou s ly for
several weeks and which has
brought about a development of
the cane far in excess of the
average growth at this date, was
broken last Saturday and Sun
day by a cool wave of consider
able intensity, the thermometer
descending into the thirties.
though from reports at hand it
did not reach the freezing point
anywhere in the sugar district.
This has checked the progress
of the cane temporarily, but as
the temperature is now high
