triotism. Then the choir made it's
first appearance with spirited song,
"His Truth Goes Marching On" By

face and strong logic He told us

we were also setting him, model man as
he was, as an example before the youth

Attorney Hedrick was then intro

Trying to Beat Hot Springs.

There seems to be a movement on
foot to change the meeting place of the
G. A Il. Encampment from Hot
Springs to Sioux Falls. This place
was almost the unanimous choice of
the veterans at the Encampment last
year and nothing has happened to
change that sentiment. The National
Sanitarium will be open and the rail
roads will be completed across the
state. 1t is hardly probable that the
council of administration would arbi-
trarily and unjustly take the Encamp-
ment from Hot Springs.

PIERRE POTfOURRI.
Something of Interest Written for The
Star and Otherwise Obtained.


Pierre, s. d., Feb. l2:-Attorney
General Clark has in response
to a request from Lyman coun-
ty, held that in his opinion the
fence law, which is in operation west
of the Missouri river. is unconstution
al and will not stand test case. His
holding is in effect that the only way
such law could possibly be effective
would be to make it statewide and
county option. If any county voted
for the fence law then it would be
legal, otherwise it would not; and
that legally the herd law is just as
much in force west of the Missouri
river as it is east of that stream,
The house passed the reciprocal de-
muraage bill, the bill to prohibit COR
porations from contributing to cam
paign funds and the bill prohibiting
s'treating" in the saloons. All these
measures passed the senate and now
go to the governor.
The senate capital building bill
passed the house this afternoon by
unanimous vote.
The senate got tangled up on the
primary election bill. Dudley at
tempted to get the fee provision cut
out and finally the house bill was
amended by substituting the senate
bill which the house rejected and the
whole matter now goes to conference.
The senate passed house bills pro-
viding for the destruction of weeds on
the highways, and the law abolishing
hide inspection.
Dudley presented resolution de-
manding that the specific charges
against Congressman Martin and the
names of his accusers be given to the
senate. After short discussion this
went over under the rules until to.
day.
Woman's suffrage was defeated.
After the suffragists had their hopes
raised to high point by the senate
action and the favorable action of
the house committee the bill was de-
feated in the house by vote of 49 to
.55

The Terrible Death of Mrs. wahl.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gossage
received a telegram from Mrs. e.. l..
Griffin at Sturgis stating that the body
of her sister Mrs. Jacob Wahl, had Just
arrived, and that they would go to Her
mosa last evening. At the train last
evening Mrs. Griffin was seen for a
few moments, and gave few particu-
lars of her sisters untimely death.
She had gone to Stoneville for her mail
and started back when the storm over
took her. Her husband had told her
she had better stay at the postoffice all
night, and he supposed she had until
her horse came home. He then knew
that she was lost, and called on his
neighbors to help him in the search
They hunted for twenty-fonr hours
without success. They found her
tracks, and in one place found one of
her mittens caught in a barbed wire
fence through which she had crawled.
Finally, within one hundred yards of
his home, Mr.. Wahl saw one of his
wife's feet sticking out of the snow.
He was alone when he found her, and
the experience almost bereft him of
reason. The party from Stoneville
reached Sturgis yesterday afternoon
and last evening Mr.. Wahl, his brother
and sister, and Mrs. Griffin passed
through here to Hermosa where the
funeral will be held today.-Rapid City

DIDN'T OBSTRUCT STREET
Warner s Potter Are Discharged in
Police Court.

J. s Warner and A. G. Potter. the
firm of Warner & Potter, implement
dealers, were discharged in police court
this morning. The charge against them
was ''obstructing the sidewalks" but
the prosecution failed to prove an OBJ
struction. Cal Hutsinger, a musician,
was the complaining witness He stated
that old wagons were left standing on
the east side of their store at Sixth
and Quincy streets, and that buns
cOngregated in these wagons at night,
making it dangerous to pass that way.
The court held that the presence or
buns" on that particular corner after
nightfau was not due SO much TO the
negligence of Warner & Potter as to
the negligence of the police department.
