STATE SENATE PUTS
UP A FAKE BILL
Avoids the Issue in the Case
of State Veterinarian
Roberts.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


The senate yesterday morning after
a sharp contest passed the bill prohi-
biting state veterinarian from en-
gaging Ill any other business. This
is the measure aimed at State Veter-
marian David Roberts and is result
of the fight against his confirmation
by the veterinarians of the state.
The new bill, however, means alb
solutely nothing and is another of the
many evidences of farce Legislation
enacted. If Mr.. Roberts is guilty of
the charges preferred by the veterin-
arians of the state, he is not fit to hold
the office and the confirmation should
be absolutely denied by the senate.
If he is not guilty, then it was not
necessary for the senate to avoid the
issue in such a piece of meaningless
legislation that is not worth the pa
per the bill is printed on. If the
veterinarian is using his official name
to further his own (inanciaD inter-
ests in the medicine concerns with
which he is identified, it would be an
easy matter for him to become a sill
ent partner and continue to work his
graft-if such it is. The Leader is
disappointed, not because of any lack
of punishment of Mr.. Roberts, but
the failure in ascertalning if he is
deserving of it.
The assembly, after some debate,
passed the bill increasing the salary
of the attorney general from $4,000 to
SIS 900.

Why not settle on the government
lands, or low price farm lands that
are improved, in South Dakota; thus
staying near at hand instead of jour
neying to distant region where the
climatic conditions and social surround
ings are widely different? Special
low rates are in effect the first and
third Tuesdays of each month to all
South Dakota stations on the North

investigate. New lines are opening
up extensive territory to development,

(From Thursdays Daily.)

The little town of Knowles, Dodge
county has case of 'black hand
mystery, which the officials and de-
tectives employed on the case think
they have solved. On the 9th of
January, the home Charles Marose at
Knowles was destroyed by fire and the
suspicion was very strong that it was
a case of incendiarism. The victims
of the deed. if such it was, informed
the officers of his belief and an in
vestlgation was instituted. To make
it thorough, representatives of the
Wilson Detective Agency of Milwau-
kee were put on the case and were
soon in possession of what they con-
sidered to be damaging evidence. The
same detectives worked on this case
who ferreted out the mystery in the
Adolph E. Harock. formerly fore
man for Edward Rack in his stone
quarry at Redwood. was recently
arrested at Waukesha for setting fire

Stone Quarry company, of which
Harock WAS general manager. 1t will
be remembered that he confessed to
the act, after giving to the public that
had received threatening letters.
Harock not only confessed to setting
the fire, but also to writing the let
tiers.
The Knowles case is entirely differ
ent, however. The result of the de-
tective work is that a warrant has
been issued for the arrest of Mathilda
Detch. The complaint is made by
Mr.. Marose, whose property was
destroyed. The defendant is also a
resident of Knowles. The warrant is
now in the possession of one of the
local officers and will be served today.

mother at Concord. n. II. According
to his statement. the visit lasted but
three-Quarters Of an hour. and Mrs.
Eddy did not ask him to spend the
night. explaining that there were no
accommodations in the house.
Mr.. Glover's history is quite out of
the ordinary. He is the son of Mrs.
Eddy and her first husband, George
Washington Glover. to whom she was
married in 1s43. when twenty-five
mington. S. c.. but six months after
their arrival Mr.. Glover died Of vel
low fever. and the young widow re-
turned to her fathers home In New
England. where her son was born. AS
she had no way to care for him he was
given to the charge of another family
at about four years Of age. Mrs. Eddy
wrote az follows of this incident:
"My dominant thought in marrying
again was to get back my child, but
after II marriage his stepfather was
not willing he should have q home with
me. \ plot was consummated for keep
Ing us apart. The family to whose
care he was committed very soon re-
moved to what was then regarded as
the far west. Later a letter was read
to my little son Informing him that his
mother was dead and buried. Without
my knowledge a guardian was appoint
ed for him. and l was then informed
that my son was lost. Every means
within my power was employed to find
him. but without success. We never
me again until he had reached the age
Of thirty-four, had a wife and two
children and by a strange providence
had learned that his mother still lived"

George w. Glover and His Suit Against
Christian Science Leaders.
One of the most discussed PERSONAL
ties of the day is Mrs. Mary Baker
Glover Eddy, founder Of Christian Sci
ence now eiglty-six years of age. Her
beliefs. writings, career and bodily
health have been the subject of innu-
merable articles in magazines and the
daily press. and but recently the pub
lie was surprised by the announce
ment that her only son, George w.
Glover OF Lead City. S. D.. had begun
suit for an accounting of the Christian
Science leaders financial affairs on the
ground that she was incompetent to
manage them. Mr.. Glover was joined
In this suit by his daughter, Mary
Baker Glover. and Mrs. Eddy's neph-
ew. George w. Baker. Mr.. Glover
claims that his mother js so enfeebled
in body and weakened In mind as to
be unable to give the attention to her
business affairs which they demand
and that she is surrounded by those
who prevent her from having natural
and proper intercourse with her rela-
tives. Mr.. Glover has been engaged
in mining and was on a trip east in
