ELECTRIC RAILWAY,

Proposed to Build Four Score

Aberdeen, S. D., April 2S.-There is
every probability that in a few days
construction work on an electric inter
urban road to connect Aberdeen with
Huron viii be begun from both ends Of
the proposed line. Huron already has
granted a franchise for terminal rights
and Aberdeen has been asked to do like
wise. The matter is now being con-
sidered by the business men who have
appointed a committee to look care
fully into the matter and ascertain just
how the promoters stand financially.
The proposition was submitted to the
city council by j.. A. Cleaver, OF Huron,
and at a conference held today with
the business mems committee he ex-
planned the details of the plan. AS bust
ness men generally are in favor of the
new line, it is regarded as certain that
the city council viii be asked to grant
a franchise as suggested. The proposed
line will be so miles i'm length, Just one
mile shorter than the Northwestern

MOLlNEUX JEWELS
SOLD FOR DEBT

Chicago, April 8.-Diamond jewels, heir
looms in the Molineux family, given by
Roland b. Mollneux to his wife, now are
in the possession OF a society woman of
the north side, bought at a debtors sale
in the municipal court. Mrs. Blanche
Molineux, who procured a divorce from
the man who was twice tried for the
murder of Mrs. Kate Adams, welded the
lawyer who aided her In the suit, Wallace
ID. Scott, OF Sioux Falls, S, D., and when
financial reverses came to Scott, through
unfortunate stock deals, the gems were
put up as security for a loan OF $3.50
made to Scott by G. Il. Miese, a stock
broker of 1853 La Sale ST.
Failure to meet the payments brought
on litigation and Judgment, to collect
which the diamonds were offered for sale
In open court. Attorneys were retained
by a wealthy woman to secure the diam
onds, and they appeared at the court sale
as bidders. 1t was suggested that the
woman was an intimat friend OF Roland
Molineux, who had been watching his
roubles and also the career OF his former
wife, and that she had desired 10 get
possession OF the diamonds. There were
several small pieces OF jewelry, and they
were worth fully the judgment OF some
5000.
Molineux was tried upon an Indictment
charging him with the murder of Mrs.
Kate Adams, who had taken some pow
ders which had been marked promo self
zer'' and which had been sent through the
mails. The first trial resulted In a con-
viction n sentence to death, and the
second in a verdict OF not guilty.

DAKOTA SUPREME
COURT UpAOLDS
THE PRIMARY LAW
Three Provisions Are Held I'm
Observation-Disclosures Fuller
Dissentsd.

Pierre, s. D., April Elm a decision
handed down yesterday the supreme
court sustains the primary election law
In general. The provisions relating TO
the method OF apportionment, the re-
Quirement as to the payment of fees,
and the dispensation OF the primaries
by the county committees are held UNI
constitutional.
Judge Fuller dissented from h ma
Jority. He disapproved because the en-
tire act was not declared void.
The decision which was written by
Justice Haney. eliminates nothing
which Will AFFECT the laws working.
The fee provision is cut out as being
a tax upon candidates, making II un-
constitutional. The provision granting
to county committees power to dispense
with county conventions and naming
delegates direct to a state convention
TO select delegates to a national con-
vention, has been cut out as ~delegating
Legislative power to such county com
mittees, which is held to be outside the
power of the legislature.
The provision which fixes an arbi-
strary number OF votes on which a dele
CATION TO the state convention may be
secured is declared invalid, the fixing
OF the basis being held to be a province
OF the party committees themselves.
The application for a writ of mandamus
to compel the secretary OF state to ac-
cept the prohibition ticket for filing, to
be placed upon the general ballot with
out regard TO the primary law, is de-
MED. The party must get it's petitions

RAILROADS INSIST ON
.STock INSPECTION

Aberdeen, S. d., April 25.-By an act
OF the legislature of the state OF South
Dakota in 1905 it is illegal for railroad
companies TO accept shipments OF cat
tie for movement from one part OF the
state except the owner or person in
charge shall produce for examination
by the agent OF the railroad company a
certificate not more than 10 days old,
from a duly authorized inspector, officer
or veterinarian TO the effect that the
cattle offered for transportation are
free from infectious, contagious or COM
municable diseases.
BY the same act Il is Illegal TO all
low cattle TO be shipped OF driven into
South Dakota from another state with
out the required certificate Of health or
inspection.
Strict compliance with these laws will
be required by the Milwaukee road and
no shipments will be accepted by 1t UNI
less they are fully met, no matter what
delay may be caused the shipper.
This applies TO emigrant movables as
well as to full shipments OF stock, and
as the traffic In the former is especially
heavy at present 1t will behoove all
emigrants TO attend to the matter OF
having their stock inspected.
