SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE
strong Probability that Old q
cation of Both Houses
VIII stand,

I PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 3.-(special Tele-
gram.)-Th sentiment among embers OF
the legislature tonight appears to be that
practically the old organization of both
houses Of two years ago will stand FOR this
session from speaker down to the minor
places. .
While this sentiment prevails tonigh 1t
is subject to change in case the progressive
leaders Of the state decide to take a hand
when they all arrive on the scene. AS
yet only a part of them are here and the
rest will be in tomorrow morning. If they
decide to take a hand there may be a
decided change, but not without some
strong protests on the part of the hackers
Of the beneficiaries of the present feel
ing. TIL ones on the ground deny any
indication of mixing, but the whole council
may feel differently in regard to the
situation. Caucuses will probably be held
Tuesday forenoon.

APPLE SHOW LIKELY OMAAA'S
Spokane Men Consider Formally
Sending Exposition Here.
COMMERCIAL CLUB TAKES HAND
Letters Exchanged Between Chamber
OF Commerce and Local OrganIsa-
tiOn Give Room to Expect
Fruit show in This city.

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 3,-(Special.)-
Oman Is a candidate for the National Apple
show in 1909, and If II goes out II Spokane
next fall it is likely that the city on the
Missouri will capture 1t.
The invitation to honor Omaha comes In
a letter from the Commercial club of that
city to the Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
saying that the residents and business men
of Omaha desire the cooperation OF the
apple growers to the end that they may
ave the big exposition this year.
Omaha contributed to the success Of the
first National Apple show" the letter
states. land, since there has been a senti-
ment to have the next show in the middle
west, Omaha is the place to hold it,"
After reading the letter at a meeting OF
the board Of trustees Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, L. F.. Cartier Van Dissel. vice
president and chairman of the executive
committee, said that nothing definite has
been decided regarding holding the expos
ton outside Of Spokane next year.
Spokane may claim 1t for another year."
he said, and until that question is deter
mined by the mi Of the Chamber
of Commerce nothing can be done. How
ever, il the next show is going to the mid
die west, 1 see nothing to prevent Omaha
from getting it.
I'VE recall with pleasure the visit OF the
Commercial club Of LQmaha two years ago
on its trip through the Pacific northwest
and we found Its people to be men of sta
billty, character and bsiness acumen. We
nave since received visits fro representa-
tive business men and not afew have come
from that part of Nebraska to make their
homes with us, so on the whole we are
good friends and neighbors, though several
thousand miles apart"
OmahA nance Excellent.
The Omaha Commercial club was melted
to move in the matter through an article
appearing in a Spokane paper. This said
that 1t might be deemed advisable to hold
the show farther east in 1909 in order that
the purpose Of the apple show might be
made known In the middle west and that
cultivation of apples should be stimulated
there. The Commercial club has received
an answer from Spokane which intlmates
that Omaha's chances are excellent. Last
years show, held in the western Washing
ton city, was an enormous success both in
the matter of exhibits and in point Of at
tendance.

ment I'm adopting labor saving devices and
improving the service In other ways, saw
the utility OF stamp-vending machines,
which are I'm general use In Europe, and
last January he invited inventors TO SUBJ
NIT models Of such machines. There were
twenty-six machines offered for trial, all
Of which were carefully tested by a COM
mittee Of the Postcffice department, headed
by Chief Postoffice Inspector Mcmillan.
Twenty OF these were considered imprac-
ticable and of the six OF those remaining
were subjected TO a further trial.
German Fnvorite.
Strangely enough, the only machine which
has stood the test without a hitch. and
which is the only entirely automatic stamp
vending machine is a German invention.
1t is called the "Abel' after the inventor.
This device has already been adopted by
the German government and Is In use
In many postoffices in their country. Other
European countries have also adopted the
machine, and 1t Is used I'm South America.
Several Of these machines are now being
tested in the postoffices of New York
City, and according to reports are perform

road stations, drug stores, and other public
places before recommending that the $1,000
postoffices Of this country be supplied
with them. but that the machines will be
adopted generally in the near future is
practically assured.
The German machine is n marvel OF
mechanical ingenuity. It is operated auto
matically by the dropping in of a coin,
and can be arranged to sell a single stamp
or a number of them. II a single 2-ccnt
stamp is desired, two pennies must he
placed in a slot, and Immediately after the
second copper falls into place the stamp
is delivered. Bad coins will not be ac-
cepted, and II a person tries to beat
the machine. he gets only his bad piece
back.
John Burke on the West.
No man has been more closely allied to
the fortunes of Buffalo Biz than Major
Burke, he of the long hair. the prominent
facial scar and peculiar mustache, who is
known in every town from st. Petersburg
to Seattle. Major Burke lived in WASH
ington forty years ago and he likes to
spend a day or two here whenever he can
get the time to do so. He is here now
and to hear him speak of the changes that
have occurred in 'the west'' since he first
tied up with 'Bill' would incline one TO
believe that he is a relative of Baron
Munchausen or Hans Christian Andersen.
II have just returned from a western
trip" said Major Burke today, land

wondrous growth of our country. I have
found towns of $1,000 people where a few
years ago there was nothing but scenery,
and 1 found farms producing $500 worth

years ago at the rate of 500 for a quarter

ception of its wonders

Fight over CIerkship.

Insofar as the much talked Of fight over
the chief clerkshlp Is concerned there is
very little to 1t. Cone and Richmond will
both get jobs. If the present plans are
carried out, and it is more than likely
they will be. And the same is true over
the scrap for secretary of the senate. Wal
rath and Smith and Davis Will all get
jobs though Walrath may quit If he does
not get first place.
Tibbets from Adams and Oils from VAL
ley are both after the presidency of the
senate, but the Douglas county delegation
will be in later tonight and this fight may
be settled. Douglas county has one-fourth
enough votes in the senatorial caucus to
control, as it has in the house caucus,
