DOings At Bismarck

mouse, was passed last week, but the
majority of the committee seems to
prefer Mr. Sharp's primary ideas with
one or two minor changes. A change
Is made in regard to the selection of a
candidate for United States senator.
Mr.. Sharp provided that the party re-
Sceiving the highest number of votes
should be deemed the nominee of the
party and legislative candidates were
pledged to vote for that man. The
committees report will require that
the legislator is only required to
pledge himself to vote for the man
who received a majority of his party
vote. In the former way the commit
tee foresaw trouble and confliction
where, for instance, there may be
three candidates. The bill also pro-
vides for the selection of a national
committeeman.
The senate committee on appropria-
tions has agreed on the following APP
preparations for the different educa-
tfonal institutions: University, $685.
900; agricultural college, $89,5OO; Val
ley City normal, s57,563; Mayville nor
NAL, $33,500; reform school, $31 900;
science school, $36,5O0; blind asylum,
s3S,200; feeble minded institute, $751;
900; deaf and dumb school, $1,000,
all of which is in addition to receipts
from their share of the mill tax
More Pay for State Officers.
In view of the additional expense
which will entail on different state
officers caused by the abolition of the
railroad passes, which for, so long
have been one OF their perquisites, the
legislators are inclined to be liberal in
the way of expense allowance, at
least reasonably so. The house has
passed bill allowing district court
judges travelling expenses and 50 a
day hotel expenses when outside their
district. The senate appropriations
committee will recommend the allow
ance of $500 year to state officers
for travelling expenses in the dis
charge of their official duties.
That there is an air of dissatisfac-
tion about having the state fair on
wheels is not mistaken and only the
fear of precipitating big, and pos
sibly ugly fight, some one would move
to permanently fix it either at Fargo
or Grand Forks. This feeling is re-
| fected in a resolution introduced in
the senate calling attention to the fact
! that atheS s.-Tsseace Of two state fairs
in the state is not to the very best in
terest Of the commonwealth and ex-
pressing the belief of the legislative
assembly that there should be no in
crease in the appropriation for state
fairs under the existing circum-
stances.
Taxing Hidden Wealth.
1t has been the practice of the
Northern Pacific railroad and large
land corporations of inserting clause
N deeds for land sold by them by
which they reclaim title to any coal or
minerals which may be found here
| after under the surface-hundreds OF
farmers west of the Missouri have
only surface rights they must not dig
Despite all efforts it has been impos
sible to have this clause stricken out
of their deeds. The author of the
bill holds that there is tangible
asset of the companies. which is es
Gaping taxation. Under the bill thu
companies will have to show whether
there is coal or not.

u ERY CLOSE VOTE
49, EMPOWERING GOVERNOR TO
REMOVE OFFICERS KILLED.
Measure Introduced Providing for
Commission System of Governing
Cities - District Judges Allowed
Travelling and Hotel Expenses.

Bismarck, Feb. 25.-SOrley's bill to
make the governor of North Dakota a
czar has been killed. The proposed
measure gave the power to the gov
ernor to remove or suspend county
officers for cause and upon the petit
tion of small number of the voters.
The bill had been reported favorably
by the committee of the whole and
the defeat of the measure was a de-
clded surprise to re author of the
bill, J. "A. sorley, no SO much de-
sired to go home and point with pride
to this particular law The vote on
Its passage was, ayes 40, nays IL,
absent and not voting 9. There was a
great deal of changing votes and then
Mr.. Stevens of Burleigh moved to
clinch the vote by which the bill was
killed, demanding roll call, and even
then a verification was demanded.
The bill was put to everlasting sleep
with potion OF 40 to As to lay the
motion to reconsider on the table.
The Scrley demurrage bill has been
reported to the house, amended so
that demurrage to both railroad and
consignee of the rate of 81 per day
takes effect after seventy-two hours,
provided the shipper pays 10 per cent
of the freight bill in advance
Measure Governing Cities.
In the senate Mr.. Hanna has intro
duced bill, and in the house it will
be championed by Mr.. Peake, provid-
ing for the commission system of gov

with cities Of 1000 or over to adopt
Its provisions. In a nutshell the com.
mission system means the manage
ment Of city's business along the
same lines as that Of a commercial
enterprise OF COZ POI ss.sss5i. UnGer the
system proposed there will be five
ssioners one president of the
board Of city commissioners and four
city commissioners. The president IS
term is fixed at four years, two of the
commissioners at two years and two
at four years. The commission has

ROADS GUT OFF
SHELTER SUPPLY

During the past two days not a pound
of ore has been received at the big
Murray plant of the American Smelling
a. Refining company and unless deliver
les are resumed within the next As
hours, the chances are favorable for the
closing down of the big works. with the
result that several hundred men Will be
temporarily thrown out of employment.
This condition Is due to controversy
pending between the several railroad
companies operating within the State OF
Utah and the smelling company over
the matter OF demurrage on what IL
known as punched coke or split lots OF
ore. IT appears that for sometime past
the railroad company has been in the
habit of taxing the smelling company
with certain demurrage charges which
were deemed unjust by the management
OF the latter and as consequence the
bills have not been paid. although re-
peated appeals were made.
The affair came TO climax few
ditys ago when the Utah Car Ser
vice association, through c. II. Griffin,
agent notified the smelter manage
lnent that unless the accumulated
bills were not paid by the 10th insti
the Oregon Short Line. Denver 6, Rio
Grande and San Pedro Los Angeles
4: Salt Lake railroad companies,
which comprise the above named as
SrclaUon. WOu.u ulscoiltlHue lnc La
Their delivery of ore.
The smelling company again re-
fused to make the payment nnd tho
orders OF the Car Service association
went into effect.
Unless the matter IL brought 10 n
compromise OF settled within the next
few days the Murray plant VIII be
compelled to close and in that event
It Is not unlikely that the difficulty
will then be carried into the courts
for adjustment and taxing OF dam
ages.
1t is said that the several smelling
| companies are dissatisfied with many
| of the rulings OF the Car Service as
ISOLATION; that they believe it has no
| excuse for existence and In view OF
| the fact that the Kansas supreme
court has decided recently against the
railroads and arbitrary rul.lgs Of car
service associations, an interesting
case may develop here.

COUNTY BUILDING
IS HIT BY BOLT
Elevator Struck by Lightning
This Morning and Put Out

OPERATOR GIVEN A FRIGHT.
With Wires Blazing Carriage Raced
Wildly Up and Down shaft Until
Power is Turned on.

The elevator at the city and county
building was knocked out of commits
sion this morning about t0:S0 o'clock
by lightning, and the operator, Harold
King. came very near being knocked
out too. He received quite shock
and also fright which he win not
soon forget and the wires In the ele-
vatov were burned out completely. and
II Will have to he re~wired before "
can be used again. For several min-
utes after the operator and the lone
passenger in II got out, the elevator
ran Of it's own accord UP and down
the shaft from the basement to the
NTH floor, but II was finally stopped
by shutting off the power completely.
Az the time ii was struck, II was at
the fourth floor and the operator and
passenger whose name was not
learned. made a jump for the hall.
The elevator Immediately started up
TO the fifth floor and then down again
to the basement. 1t kept up its wild
travels with the wires blazing until
Mr.. King reached the basement and
warned the chief engineer of what had
happened, The power was then turn
ed OF and the elevator stopped. II will
be repaired and placed in commission
again by Monday.
II Is believed that the lightning
struck the clock tower on top OF the
building and followed down to the ele-
Nator shaft until It hit the elevator.

MRS. WELLS RALLIES.
Following Amputaton at the Hospital
Late Last Night.

The hosts of friends OF Mrs Heber
M. Wells will be pleased to learn that
she has rallied In remarkable man
ner from the operation of last mid
night and strong hope is entertained
that she will recover The limb was
removed midway between the knee
and thigh, Drs. Plnkerton, Bascom and
Landenberger performing the opera
ton. II was almost a foregone con-
clusion from the first that amputatlon
would be necessary. and the reason for
the delay was that Mrs, Wells might
gain sufficient strength to go through
the terrible ordeal.
The main artery OF Mrs. Wells left
limb was torn out for a distance of
four inches, and the lower part OF the
member was fed only by minor arter-
les. The circulation was therefore so
imperfect that most serious results
would soon have followed. but for ann
putation. The patient has exhibited
wonderful fortitude during the perloi
OF her suffering, and her will power
and former good health were strong
factos in the recuperation shown from
the effects Of the anaesthetic and the
operation.
