STRICT LAW.
Mellette City Passes Ordinance
Against Card Playing
for Prizes.

Mellette, April 20.-Playing cards
for prizes in the privacy of ones own
home has been made criminal offense
by the passage of a new and stringent
anti gambling ordinance mere. Fines
OF from $25 to $1OO and imprisonment
in Jail for thirty days are the graduated
p ,nalties.
In commenting upon the provisions
of the new ordinance, a man who
doubtless wished to frighten the wo-
men, said:
sTo send the members of progress
sive euchere party, If they played fol
a prize, to Jail for thirty days with the
order tnat the prisoners be employed
at labor on the streets of Mellette, for
at least ten hours day during incar-
ceration in the town Jail, as the ordi-
nance specifies. would be so lash pro-
ceeding that it will not be attempted.
Imagine Mrs. Brown and the Misses
Jones following up garbage wagon
with shovels on their dainty shoulders
/ just because they did not have hun
dred apiece to pay as penalty for
raising funds for the church in game
of chance. And yet the town marshal
il fined and forfeits his Office if he dis
regards the provisions Of the ordi-
nance.

ELLIOTT FOR COY.
Secretary of State Wipf Thinks
He Would Fill the
Position.

d. d. Wipf, secretary of state, who
recently returned from the Black Hills,
stopped in Yankton and gave the Press
and Dakotian of that city an interview
Sec'y Wipf said:
"Though it might be regarded some
what early to discuss state politics,
Mr.. Wipf was quite strongly Of the
opinion that J. d. Elliott was the man
to succeed Gov. Crawford. and he be-
lieved this opinion was shared in quite
generally by the republicans Of the
state. He regarded Mr.. Elliott as one
of our ablest men-in fact his ability
would not be questioned, while his rec
ord as citizen and public servant
was unblemished. He was self made
man who had come up from the ranks
of pioneer farmers boys by dint of bis
native energy, ambition and ability,
and, had been able to acquit himself
on all occasions with great credit and
in manner to win the confidence OF
the people He was man Of charac-
ter and would add an honorable lustre
to the Office of chief executive OF South
Dakota. The secretary had not met
Mr.. Elliott since last winter and did
not know what he would think of such
proposition, but he believed there
was an overwhelming sentiment among
the people favorable to it, and il this
was the case it would establish strong
factor in influencing Mr.. Elliott's de-
cision.'

New York Divorce to Be Re
turned on Charge Of Child
Abandonment.

Pierre, April 2O.-Tha action OF the
supreme court in affirming the lower
court in the Half habeas corpus case
ends the hardest fought case of that
class ever brought to the courts Of this
state. When the New York authori-
ties made application Tor writ Of
extradition for John Fl. Half. on a
charge Of child desertion, he asked for
a hearing before Gov Elrod before the
writ be granted. This privilege was
given him and on his appearance mere
made the plea that the charge was a
trumped up one only to get him back
to New York to answer to other mat
ters, that he had never committed tie
crime OF which he was charged. He
argued, begged and wept in his efforts
to move the governor from his evident
intent to grant the warrant asked for,
but all to no purpose. The application
for the writ was made through the
Office Of District Attorney Jerome. and
an agent Of the state Of New York was
here to take back Half in case the war
rant was granted. As soon as it was
evident that the warrant would be
granted. habeas corpus proceedings
we're begun, and after hearing and

DOUBTFUL RECOVERY
South Dakota Farmers Asphyxi.
in Sioux City

Sioux City. April 30. II osis Hin
ricns, of Parker, s. D.. who was found
in an unconscious condition at the Chi.
cago house Wednesday afternoon, is
gradually sinking at st. Vincent hos
pital, from a virulent attack of carbon
monoxide poisoning. cansed by union
of the illuminating gas and the air.
This poisoning is much more difficult
to combat than that Of illuminating
gas alone, and there seems absolutely
no hope for the ill-tated man. Hin
richs' two sons, j. G. and Frank, and
his brother, Chris Hinriohs, all OF
Parker. are at the bedside of the dying
man. M
AT 80 .o' clock this morning reports
from the hospital indicated there had
been slight improvement in Hinrichs'
condition though not sufficient to lend
any assurance to his recovery.
Mr.. Hinrichs was a we'll to do
farmer living eight miles north Of
Parker, and recently had disposed Of
his interests with theintention of retir-
ing from active life. A wife and a
daughter remain at home.
The remains of Louis Wilde, who
was asphyxiated in the same room,
were taken yesterday by relatives.
Wilde also was a farmer, living but a
short distance from Hinrichs. He is
survived by wife and six children.

that the jolly Germans would be more

manner Of celebrating the anniversary.
Washington's troops at Newtown
were chiefly New Englanders. He had
about 2.4OO men and twenty pieces Of
artillery. The weather had turned
much colder toward Christmas, and on
the afternoon OF that day a chill storm
Of snow and sieet began, lasting
through the night Washington's troops
marched to McConkey's ferry in the
snowstorm. McConkey's was a river

The plan Of Washington was to reach
Trenton by o'clock in the morning
and catch the Hessians sleeping of
their Christmas potations. He counted
upon getting the whole army across by
midnight. Owing to the delay caused
by the ice and the storm it was 8
o'clock in the morning when the last
boat load Of parrots reached the Jer-
sey shore. By o'clock the force was
formed ready for the march upon
Trenton. Colonel Henry Knox had
brought over his cannon on the frail
flathoats. with horses to pull the pieces
along the road.
