H. G.. Ward, a lineman who arrived Sun
day night from Bonesteel 8, D., reported
to the police that he had been held up
and robbed by two negroes in the North
western railroad yards. The negroes, who

a gold watch and chain from Ward, be-
sides relieving him of four boxes of eggs
which he had purchased just before start
ing home.
The holdup took place but short dis

holdup took place. Ward is in the employ
OF the Independent Telephone company and

the proposed Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building made yesterday morning

to- $4,000 before making a report at the
mass meeting to be held this evening in the
rooms OF the Commercial club. Yesterday 8
list was headed by J. f. Wilcox with a

II possible State Secretary Magee will
remain over for the meeting this evening

was introduced by Senator Eckles increas-
ing the monthly per capita support fund
from $14 to SIC and it passed the senate,
but was killed by the house committee on
appropriations and the house adopted the
report of the committee indefinitely post
poning the bill. II now developes that the
reason the house committee killed the bill
is because the friends of the institution
jumped over the heads of the members of
the Board Of Control. The Increase was
recommended by Superintendent Horton,
but not by the Board OF Control. When
the legislative visiting committees went to
the institution nothing was said about in
creasing the support fund Consequently
when the bill came before the house COM
mittee IL began to make inquiries where
the bill came from. The Board Of Control
was asked ana the members said the sup
port fund was ample though they would
not object to its being Increased. Conse-
quently the committee killed the bill. Since
then there has been all sorts of complaint
because the old soldiers were limited in
their support, The legislature started out
on a plan OF economy, but halt was called
when the old soldiers were concerned. Con-
sequently another bill will be introduced
and it Is likely that it will pass both
houses.
Inheritance Tax Bill.
A direct Inheritance tax bill such as was
recommended by Governor Cummins in his
message TO the legislature, has been pre-
