Canton, O., May 27.-Mrs. William

years Mrs. Mckinley had been an
invalid She rallied from the shock
Of her husbands tragic death-but 1t

that she had suffered stroke OF

could survive.
The end came peacefully-almost
imperceptibly. Mrs. Mckinley never

hope against hope Of her sister and
other relatives and friends for her

At the Mckinley home, when death
came, there were present Secretary

against him. There is considerable
difference of opinion as to the rul-
ing of the chair, though no one who
doubts its correctness imputes to
Mr.. Speaker CLANCY intentional un-
fairness.
The first point raised, the effect
of the motion to table, has been de-
cided both ways during this session,
but on the later one, the attempt to
take the bill off the table, Reed gives
it as a rule in force in the national
house-but nowhere else-that a bill
thus tabled is finally disposed of.
The accidental result is greatly re-
GREETED by many members, as the
sentiment was manifestly strong
enough to have passed the bill. Out
side of this the discussion of the
ruling is purely academic and does
not affect the chance of a new rate
law at this Session-unless the eX-
posture of Brownies eagerness to
take advantage of the temporary
absence of three of the bills friends
should strengthen the progressives-
as there is another rate bill pending
in committee which can be put into
satisfactory shape and passed.

North Carolina Thank Elrod.

The North Carolina legislature has
passed a resolution in both houses,
thanking Governor Elrod for his po-
sltion in his message in regard to the
North Carolina bond situation, the
resolution being: That we have
read with pleasure and pride the re-
cent utterances of his ex%cellency,
Gov. Samuel II. Elrod, of the state
of South Dakota, in his message to
the general assembly of that state,
and in which he takes high and hon
orable ground, worthy of the ex-
ecutiye of a great state, and con-
dennis the acceptance by the state of
Carolina, offered by those who could
not themselves obtain a footing in
the courts for the purpose of bring
ing suit thereon. The position of his
eXcellency the governor of South Da-
kota is in conformity with the true
spirit of comfy which should exist
between states of this union, and we
thank him for his said utterance,
and appreciate the sentiments ex-
pressed by him toward this common
wealth."
That the secretary of state of
North Carolina be instructed to
transmit a certified copy of the reso-
luton to Governor Elrod.

WASHINGTON rRlces nlGHfR

Washington dispensers OF clothes,
food. exc. are nor going &c be The
losers by the increase Of 80 per con,
in the salaries o. Ul,e senator's and
representatives. According to the
Pittsburg Dispatch i plan is on foot,
and nearly consammated, 70 raise
the price on ali commodities so that
the congressman won't carry away
too much OF their money when they
went home:
While, % the surprise of con
gress, the country failed TO so into
spasms over that so per cent. raise
in congressional salaries, the Won
drous calm with which the news was
received was no doubt due to the be-
lief hat the Legislators needed the
money. But there seems to be some
congressional doubt as to whether
it will be of real benefit. Represent
ative Adamson, of Georgia, is one
of the Thomases. People in Wash
ington who controls things that con
gressmen must have. he says, have
agreed among themselves on a scale
of prices that will take care OF the
increase about as completely as the
present salary. The people of
Washington are determined to get
all the money a congressman draws.
If we got only $4,000 a year we
could live as we'll as if we got 81
500.
This puts another phase on the
matter. A generous, prosperity-la-
den nation made no kick about add
ing so per cent. to the wages of its
representatives, but ii. will hate to
think that instead of benefiting it's
legislators it is merely adding to
the already bloated p~ocketbooks of
the Washington boarding house
keepers. For that reason, if the
facts are as charged, it will give
cordial support to the efforts of Mr..
Adamson to keep what he has got.
The Georgian is busily engaged or
ganizing a statesman's union, which
is to be pledged to pay just SO much
and no more for board, for rent, for
midday lunches and after-theatre
dinners. "Twenty-meal tickets for
$3.50" is to be the slogan of the
new union. That is considered a
fair price for a square meal down in
Chattahoochee county, although it
overshoots the mark somewhat and
is really calculated to arouse SYM
pathy for the Washington caterers
who have to deal with congressman.
Also it puts a crimp in the claim
that representatives could not live on
the old salaries. Some of them per-
haps could not, but evidently there
are others who could save money on
$40 a week.

Senator Kittredge and Congress-
men Martin and Burke have not
been put entirely out of the running
down at Washington and that they
are to be counted in on the making
of federal appointments is indicated
by the recent appointment of Post
master Bonham at Deadwood. His
appointment is yet to be confirmed
by the senate, and it is understood
that Senator Gamble will make a
test of his strength in holding up
the appointment. Should he be able
to do so it will be a standoff be-
tween him andG Senator Kittredge,
for the latter has been successful in
holding up the confirmation of
United States District Attorney Ell
lott. 1t is asserted from Washing
ton that before the new delegation
from South Dakota gets in that the
greater proportion of p%ostofice ap-
pointments will have beef accom-
plished.

HAVE PASSED HOUSE
The Hause Passed a Goodly Numbe:
OF Bills of it's Own Manufac-
t1ra in q Da.
ture in a Dag

Pierre, Feb. 16.-Wednesday was
a busy day in the house and quite a
large number of bills were passed,
which had their origin in that body.
The following are some of the meas
ures hat found favor with the rep
r~esentatives: Providing further reg
ulations for medical practice, bill
prepared by the state medical board;
changing time of closing polls at
general elections to six O'Clock in
the evening; making the sinking
fund tax limit ten mills; joint reso-
luton endorsing the position of
President Roosevelt in regard to
control of railways; providing for
classification and sale of lands, un-
til one-fourth of them have been dis
posed of; providing ann of in
vestment of sinking funds of indie
pendent school districts; for protec-
ton of county and school districts
in contracts for buildings, and for
protection of those working on such
buildings; fixing compensation of
commissioners of the soldiers home;
eXeLapting members of volunteer fire
departments from poll tax; appropri-
ating fifteen hundred dollars for
farmers Institutes; providing the
state board of charities with a sec
Rotary; making the office of city as
SCISSOR appointive instead of elective;
prohibiting the sale of liquor within
three hundred feet of a school or
church; the child labor bill.
A bill passed the house hat may
strike terror to the hearts of the
sporting fraternity which is intended
to do away with Sunday amusements.
The bill prohibits Sunday theatres,
baseball and other amusements on
the Sabbath day. This bill, no doubt,
was occasioned by the fight made
at Aberdeen several months ago,
when an effort was put forth to close
up the theatre on Sunday, but it
was found that there was no law
that would be successful in making
the closing legal. Should the bill
pass the senate it would do away
with the Sunday amusements.
The senate passed senate bills to
better enforce liquor laws against
blind pigs; the state license law for
circuses, with an addition of city Ii
added to the state license; to
prevent the filling of a prescription
for liquor more than one time; plac-
ing blind pigs in the list of nuis-
the new fee bill for the de-
partment OF the secretary of state;
and the bill for assessment of per-
sonal property of railroads and tele-
graph and telephone lines after
striking from it the provision for as
sessment of moneys in banks and
mortgages from the records.

1t is reported from Vermillion
that the students have quieted down
again since their demonstration OF
last week, when a certain crowd OF
them purlolned the chars from the
chapel the evening before President
Gault was to deliver his address on
Lincoln's birthday. One report said
that the student resented the pres
ident's occupation Of a legal holiday
with a lecture and another is that
the students took this means to show
their d%ispleasure for the removal OF
former President Droppels. President
Gault set about On an investigation
of the situation but it has been a
difficult matter to %apprehend any of
the culprits. Could they be discover
ed it would be a good lesson for them
and any who might be inclined to
follow in the same footsteps to sus-
pend them. The action was an
insult to President Gault, who has
treid in a every possible way, we are
iDformed, to run the institution
independent Of any feeling FIR or
against the former situation. The
students, if they have any manhood
about them, will give the new presi-
dent the opportunity to do so.

How the Bill Was Killed.

Pierre, Feb. 1S.-Through either
a tactical blunder or a misunder-
standing of the rules of the Carol
rate bill, the running mate of the
one which passed the senate-and
died in the house-was laid on the
table in the house Saturday, with
enough of Its friends present to
have passed it. Browne, who is not
a representative of the railroads
though any railroad company that
would ask more of him is an in
satiate monster-Seized the first OPP
portunity to move the indefinite
postponement of the bill. 1t took
Carol quite by surprise and ratified
him for an instant. The result
shows that Brownies motion would
have been defeated and, in all prob
ability, the bill passed, but Mr.. Car
rol moved to lay Brownies motion
on the table. A roll call was de-
manded and the motion to table car
ried, AZ to 80. Browne had appar-
entity chosen his time to spring his
snap motion at the instant when the
roll call showed several members
known to be friends of the people
as against the railroads to be alb
sent at a meeting of the conference
committee on the primary bill, as
there was another. bill and a joint
resolution ahead of the rate bill on
the calendar. When they were dis
posed of the rate bill came up on a
motion of Palmer to make it special
for next Wednesday. Browne raised
a point of order hat the tabling of
his motion to postpone had tabled
the bill. Speaker Chaney-yery re-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it.
Carol moved to take the bill off
the table, but the chair again held

The antj-treating bill before the
legislature is being juggled around
so that it appears to be getting in
line to receive the same fate that
the two-cent rate bill did. The bill
is certainly a good one, and if the
reform legislature wants to do a
good turn for the citizenship of the
state, it will pass the bill. 1t will
be the first step that has been &C
complished toward %lessening the
evils of intemperance. The penalty
attached for one man treating an
other is from SIS to $40, and it will
cost the saloon keeper in whose
place of business the crime is COM
mitted from $25 to s100, according
to the leniency of the court. Posted
in the saloons this notice will be re-
quired: Public Treating Forbid
den by Law" Just how the law will
be enforced will be a question for the
officers to decide upon, and whether
they will be required to make it their
special business to see that the law is
not violated.

To Investigate Lumber Trust.

Among the new house bills intro
duced yesterday was one carrying an
appropriation of $500 for the ex-
penses of the commission to investi-
gate the lumber trust in this state,
which is to be provided for by a res
olution which has passed the house
and gone to the senate. In the SEN
ate, the Dowdell uniform text book
bill was up again on reconsideration
and secured a majority vote, but not
enough to carry it as an emergency
and it went over to next
Tuesday, after Dowdell and Dudley
had finished their scrap over it.

We doubt If there has been legis-
lature in years that has treated the
railroads so tender ly as the present
one. Listening to the expressions
during the campaign, one would be
lead to believe that the legislators of
the state were just aching TO get a
crack at the 1ailoads and they would
do all kinds of things to them. 1t is
true that all kinds Of measures have
been introduced but not a one has
passed but what is a direct benefit
to the roads. All fully expected that
the two-cent rate bill would become
a law but it has been put to sleep
in the house of its friends. We did
not believe in the passage OF the law
at any time, for the reason that
south Dakota is not sufficiently
populated to make the changed neces-
sary at this time. Did this state
have the population Of some eus, ern
state then there might be some
reason for cutting PASSENGER rate 10
two cents a mile. A much greater
proportion OF people travel in the
east and yet they pay the three
cents a mile, just the same as
we do in this state. Bit the at
tempted and projected reforms
have gone a glimmering, and we
doubt very much that ANYTHING of
II prominent nature will take place.
The biggest thing going was the
tao-cent late, and that is gone.

Uses without consent, and it was ia

a number of house bills from their
calendar making laws of most of
them. Bills affecting railroads in
the list being the fellow servant act,
prohibiting parallel lines within 8
miles, providing for double damages
in case of loss by fire set by rail-
