sanborn County Senator Declares That

Pierre, S. d, Feb. 26.-The death of
Dowdell's uniform tex book bill Is not
an absolute bereavement. as there are
more like 1t, and others which look like
1t but are different. But none Of them
will furnish the pyrotechnics which at
tended the progress of his bill through
the senate. 1t is the one rea! fight OF
the session.. 1t was a fight In the COM
mittee and the best that Dowdell could
get from this committee, which was
disposed to kill 1t. was a report without
recommendation. The suspicion of the
committee as we'll as the members of
the senate had been aroused through
the agency OF the representatives Of
the book trusts and every paragraph
of the bill was submitted to the most
thorough examination and criticism.
This made no difference to he senator
from Sanborn. who had been through
other wars and vas prepared to fight
this one TO a finish. He was told that
his measure meant cheaper books, like
they have ~ Indiana the Law &c
which wdel is a counterpart
He Sent for Books.
He offered to share the expense OF
sending for the books furnished to In
diana under the contract, and when the
books arrived they We're found to be
the identical book furnished In this
state, except that they were of two
grades better paper and We're furnished
for 80 per cent. less than is paid In this
state.
The measure was called UP and failed
Of the clear majority of all members,
though having a majority of one of the
number voting. The effort was then
made to table all further consideration
af the bill, u his failed and the bill
vas brought up on a special order n
defeated on a tie vote which lacked
.wo of a clear majority.
At every turn DowdeN has added
strength to his single handed fight
against the representatives Of the book
qualities which brought him to the
front Of the ranks in the days of pop
uiisln.
Strong Opposition.
He had as natural opponents of the
bill two OF the foremost lawyers Of that
body. Dillon and Dudley. and in the
hnal III he was also opposed by
Goodner and by Kruger. the latter the
only practical educator in the senate.
a peculiar fact in connection with
b work of the book trusts is that not
withstanding the a~nti-lobbying bill has
OF any representative OF that octopus
among the twenty-five or more accred-
s& representatives of special inter-
ssts. This also is in line with Dow
delfs contention that the foes he has
had to fight are not out in the open but
are concealed behind the educational
interests of the state, which are In q
Eaeasure ubjec to undue influence
sxerfed from secret sources.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

L.N i've -
Pierre, S. D., Feb. 23.-One of the
most important bills of the session
comes from the committee on judiciary
today. 1t proposes to increase the num-
Der of supreme court judges from three
70 five and for this purpose redistrict
the state.
One of the new districts would COM
prise that part of the state lying south
Of the southern boundary of Dawson
Of Gregory, Trip and Meyer on the
west of the river. A new judge would
naturally be supplied from this district.
judge Haney's district would extend
to the northern line of Lake n Miner
and on through west. taking in also Ly-
man on the west of the river. Judge
Fuller's district would extend to the
northern boundary of Deuel., taking in
also Sphinx, Faulk, Potter and Camp
OF the river.
Another New District.
Another new district would be formed
OF \ balance OF the state lying north
OF Fuller's district, including the coun-
ties Of Foreman, and Dewey and
Schnasse on he west side of the river.
Judge Corson's district would take in
the big county Of Butte on the north,
now sparsely settled. but while he
would have the smallest of the districts
from the standpoint of population, ex-
panse will equalize 1t. There is said
to be some politics involved in the
~ouldari Of the districts as provided
IN this bill which will appear as the
discussion of the measure proceeds. 1t
Is probable that another formation of
districts will appear if the parties in
terested can get a committee renort
faroring such a bill.

DID BRITT SHOW

1t appears to be a hard matter 10
convince the talent that Jimmy Britts
broken arm" in the nght with Cans
was not a fake in order to let him
down easy with his friends and "fel-
low citizens"
IL is claimed by many that he franz
ed it iln in order 20 save himself from
a grueling fight. Banton W. Currie,
of the World. sizes it up in this way:
James Britt has retired from the
ring after assisting in the performance
of one of old Or. Fistiana's best come
dies. entitled when Jimmie Slipped
His Ulna Bone" That's what the
learned Frisco medico called it-tne
ulna bone-when it was announced in
the intermission between the fifth and
sixth rounds that james Edward had
had sufficient punishment to cause
him serious ennui
But the announcer did not have tho
courage TO tell the immense throng Of
hght-hungry men that they had paid
sixty thousand hard earned simoleons
to learn something about the ulna-
gulna bone. lie said that the native
son had broken his arm-his whole left
arn-somowhere between the little
finger ana the medulla oblongata.
Poor Jamcs IT was so pathetic
TO have struck only one blow during
the five rounds and then go TO pieces
like Kansas clay pipe. Science tells
us that the ulna bone ia a part of
marble-lilSe bit OF osseous anatomy IN
the wrist that works ia a socket
When dislocated it slips right out of
the socket but a little twist and IL
slips right in again. Clever pick
pockets have their uma bones disio-
Gated purposely TO give free action TO
the wrist
When Referee Jim Welch announced
TO the crowd that the fight was over
he had TO smile and turn his face
away IN disgust from Hritts corner.
In giving his decision TO those that
We're inside he said that never for a
moment was Jimmy Britt i'm the fight
and that he had about as much show
with Cans as jellyhsh in the claw of
lobster. 1t was no frame-up. no
fake; Britt simply quit quit cold"
