FORCED TO LEAVE HONE
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT

Vermillion, S. D., Feb. 26.-From
twenty-five to thirty families were
compelled to flee the rapidly rising wa
ters OF the overlooking Missouri river
in the vicinity of Meckling between
midnight n dawn today. AS yet no
drowningS have been reported but
there were several narrow escapes
The family of Lewis Larson started
until daylight today hunting for a
bridge safe enough to cross. They were
surrounded by water many times and
they feared they would have to swim
for IL but finally escaped. Other famil-
les were more fortunate.
With field glasses people here are
enabled to see many straw and hay
stacks on which cattle and hogs are
marooned. Men IN boats are this aft
ernoon e~ndeavoring to succor some of
the beasts. 1t is feared that, as in the
first overflow of several days ago, much
stock has persisted.
High Water From Up River.
The present trouble has beer occa-
stoned by the arrival of the three-foot
rise which was reported two days ago
at Running Water, S. D.. Striking the
~ice-clogged river in this vicinity the
water spread out until the river here is
five miles wide.
Enormous banks of ice are piled up
along the river front here. The people
in the bottom lands are fearful that
unless the winter resumes a rigorous
state soon that the floods will be devas-
tating to an unprecedented degree.

MANY FLEE THE
RISING FLOOD
THIRTY Families Near Meckling
Driven in Dead of Night
From Home.

yermillion, S. D., Feb. 26.-With the
water knee deep in their sitting room
and steadily rising, John Peterson ana
his wife Sunday afternoon repeatedly
refused to leave their farm house, six
miles east of town. They declared they
would share the fate of their live stock.
A party of rescuers in charge OF Louis
Larson was forced to cave them after
two futile trips in a rowboat. Mr.. re
terson is 80 years OF age. the resculhS
party left them a rowboat.
When the sun sank below the Nebras-
ka bluffs it's rays gliStened on a sea o.
water covering all the lowlands for tell
miles west of Vermillion. A solid gorge
of ice at the mouth of the Vermillion
river has backed up until 1t extends
for over ten miles, blocking the channel
as far as Hagen's bend, near Gayville.
All the farmers on the lowlands west
of own have nov back to the bluffs
n are staying with their neighbors.
At the home of Ollie Line the water is
aid to have reached the roof. His
house stands IN a particularly low
swale, six miles east of here.
Lars Mortinsen, a %neighbor of Lind,
who reached Vermillion Sunday even
ing, lost thirty hogs in thirty min
utes when the water suddenly reached
hic place.
The agent for the Milwaukee rail-
o at Yankton notified all of the
farmers he could reach by telephone on
the lowlands west of Vermillion that
a special stock train would be u from
Yankton at 2 o'clock and would stop to
pick up any live stock that was in
danger. Thirty-two carloads left
Meckling Sunday for the Sioux City
and Chicago markets.
Parties who have ventured out to she
ice gorge say it seems to be loosening
somewhat. Chunks are continually
breaking from the lower portion of
the dam and floating away. A few
more warm days they thought, would
allow the dam to break up quietly with
little danger Of O. big rush of water.
General opinion here is that the crisis
has been passed and that with a con-
t%inuance OF warm weather there will be
no more serious results. The river
above Yankton is reported to be near
ly normal and at Vermillion is falling
slightly.
Roadmaster Carlson, of the Mil
waukee railroad, made a trip over the
line between Vermillion and Elk Point.
Between Burbank and Vermillion he
found that in many places the food
had carried the rails off the dump, but
the rails had not been broken.

HANDSPRING STOPS

BUYS A PESTH0USE
Legislators Now Go About Car.
ryingAtomizers and Bottles
of Disinfectants.

Jefferson City, Mo-. Feb. 27.-Mayor
Wallau has purchased for SO. 700 a ten
room house and six acres OF ground
about a mile west of this city to be
used as an emergency hospital for
smallpox patients. He makes the pur-
chase with his own money. This place
will also be used by the members OF
the general assembly who are in quar-
antine.
Furniture and stoves were sent there
and the local board of health will be
in charge of the hospital. but the ply
sicians' committee from the Legislature
appointed by Speaker Atkinson will as
sumo charge of the legislators should
any more be stricken.
Although this is the state mecca OF
politicians, the habit of handshaking
has ceased in Jefferson City through
fear of the contagion. Nearly every
legislator carried an atomizer and a
bottle of di~sinfectant.

in the laws OF our state on marriage and
divorce.
Sioux Falls Defends Its Pet.

Sioux Falls Defends Its Pet.
Sioux Falls and. other large cities in
the state have made the way unpleas-
ant for the divorce bill which seeks IN
some measure to restrain the wear ana
tear upon the short cut between the
marriage altar and the divorce mill.
The bill was inspired by some of the
most notable churchmen and attorneys
in the tate, and has been passed upon
and amended by the state bar associa-
ton, and yet IL is Objectionable TO those
who find fat fees and s~ustenance in
practice n In trade in the community
of the divorce colony. This measure
which provides for a years residence,
and a trial of the case in the state
and in the judicial circuit where the
cause of action was formed is intended
to check the influx of insists who come
TO South Dakota for relief, and the
bill made its appearance early in the
session and went to the judiciary com,
mittee where 1t has slumbered fitfully
and has as a matter of fact been held
back by some of it's champions who
felt that in this way its life would be
prolonged ~measurably.
Richards Stirs Them Up.
At last r.. o. Richards, the well
known Dick" Of Beadle county and
member of the civic federation of the
state, look upAthe accusations and in
situations of certain parties and made
common cause with them, and in let
ters to constituents of Senators Good
ner and DILLON accused the latter of
very bad faith in allowing, and per,
haps encouraging, the bill to slumber
so late in the day Mr.. Richards adj
Vised the constituents of the aforesaid
senator to communicate with them at
once and urge immediate action on the
bill, and 1t was this fling at the hon-
esty of the men named that caused
both of them to arise to the question
Of personal privilege in the senate on
the date the asu was reported and
deny that they had held it up or hat
the structures against them had In
thing TO do with the report being made.
Dudley for the Business.
Senator Dudley, also of the judiciary
committee and a man of considerable
oratorical powers, also improved the
opportunity to say that Dick Richards,
nor the president of Yankton college,
nor any other man could make him
vince by such accusations as had been
directed against his colleagues, that no
signed the minority report with them
against the bill and would have held
1t in the committee six months If that
long was required to kill 1t, for he had
no use for it and wasn't bidding for
divorce business either, as he was not
good enough looking to invite that class
of business.
These three men and others will OPP
pose the bill when it comes up for final
passage, Goodner and Dillon making
technical objections and Dudley con-
demning it as ara attempt to abridge
the right of personal liberty.

III. @. Turner. the literary banker"
of Melbourne. Australia, has publicly
proclaimed his apostasy from the U
OF female suffrage. He advocated IT
for many years on the ground OF equal
rights for adults Of both sexes; but now
chat II has become an accomplished
fact In Australia he is g~rievously dis
appointed. What he saw and heard
during the recent commonwealth gen.
erai election revolutionized his view on
the subject. He draws a terrible pic
ture OF the affairs OF female suffrage
In the constituency in which he lives,
According to Mr.. Turner, lin this cleo
torate evil has been wrought that IT
will take years to eradicate. Dfssen-
sion and disintegration have fallen up
on the domestic circle. Lifelong friend
ships have been withered and an attt-
tude of defiance has replaced that af-
f~ectionate ~trustfulness which Is wom-
ans chiefest charm"

RATE BILL TO GO
TO GOVERNOR SOON

Pierre, S. D.. Feb. 27.-The house rate
bill will have it's first reading in the
senate today and will go through in the
regular order without opposition. Both
the members and the railroad interests
are satisfied to fix a rate Of 2E2 cents
per mile and assign it's PRONUNCIATION
to the railway commission after the &C.
tual earnings and value of the roads
are determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Glass bill which is
following the rate bill in it's movement
through both houses.
h new city charter will come up
for passage in the senate today. This
bill embodies what is known as the Gal
weston plan, providing for the election
of a commission of five men to admin
lister the affairs of the city by depart
mentS. 1t will meet sturdy opposition
in the senate since it is regarded as an
innovation bordering on freak legisla-
ton.
Bills on $50 Subjects.
On the last day for the introduction
of bills in the usual order the total
reached 266 in the senate, with eighteen
joint resolutions and memorials, and in
the house 2S9 bills, with nineteen joint
resolutions n memorials.
Hereafter the introduction Of any bill
must be through committee or by
unanimous consent, and they will be
few and far between. Many of the
bills are duplicates in the two houses,
but the total of subjects upon which
an attempt is made at legislation will
reach $50 and there are more bills in
process of incubation.
Whether a legislature can legislate
goodness into the people is the oues-
ton involved in the bill preventing
Sunday theaters and baseball. 1t has
passed both houses and the gov
ernor will be given a chance to pass
judgment upon it.
