ATTACK ON LIQUOR INTERESTS
South Dakota Ants Are Busy With
New LEGISLATION.

Members of the committee appoint
ed by the league of commercial clubs
at Deadwood were in conference with
Gov. Vessey last week in regard to
the bill they expect to draft, provid-
ing for an immigration bureau for
the state.
The liquor interests are having
more than the usual amount of legis-
lation aimed at them this session. but
up to the present time none of the
bills have got into the open. Out of
the list but two show a tendency to
give the liquor interests of the state
any greater show than they now have
under the law. One of these is the
senate bill by Mcpherson, introduced
just before adjournment, which pro-
vides that it shall only require a
majority vote cast on the subject of
license to carry that question. Under
the supreme court construction of ex-
listing laws it requires a majority of
all votes cast on any proposition at
the election to carry the license ques-
ton.
House bill No. SIS, by Dingsor, which
provides a penalty for any one who
attempts to treat another in a saloon,
to accept a treat, or in the ase of
the owner or proprietor to allow any
treating in his place, under penalty
of a fine, and on the part of the saloon
man the revocation of his license.
The antitrust bill passed the house
two years ago, and "a only beaten
in the senate by one vote.
House bill No.. Sc, by Larson, pro-
hibits any brewer o r manufacturer of
vinous or spirituous liquors, or any
stakeholder in such manufactures, to
engage or be in any Way interested
in the retail liquor trade.
Senate bill No. 50, by Johnson,
seeks to prevent wholesalers and
brewers from engaging in the retail
trade, and makes his penalty absolute
prohibition to again enter into the
business in the state for a third con.
v%iction, and a Jail sentence with the
second.
Other bills striking out the use OF
liquor are the railroad bills which
deal with the use of liquor on trains,
and makes it a misdemeanor for any
one to drink intoxicating liquors as a
beverage on any train operating in
the state.

His Deficiency.

A certain Chicago merchant died,
leaving to his only son the conduct Of

doubt was expressed in some quar-
tiers whether the young man possess
ed the ability to carry out the fathers
policies.
Well" said one kindly disposed
friend, "for my part, I think Harry is
very bright and capable. I'm sure he
will succeed"
perhaps you're right said another
friend. Henry is undoubtedly q
clever fellow; but take it from me,
old man, he hasn't got the head to

800 ACRES WASHED AWAY.
Farmer Near Vermillion Has Little
Left of His $1,000 Farm.

Two years ago, Ole Anderson owned
300 acres of fine timber and farm
land, three miles southeast Of Nermil-
lion. Today he has only about ten
acres th2t he a call his own. In
that short space of time the Missouri
river has cut away all but a few acres
of the farm, and these are destined to
go Don
For many years the Big Muddy has
been cutting off many acres of the
farm land all along it's route through
Clay county, but the blotting cut of a
farm of 500 acres valued at $4,000
in two years is nothing short of a
calamity for the owner.
There has been much talk of i'm
proving the Missouri river for navi-
gable purposes, which, of course, would
greatly aid in checking the inunda-
ton of the land. There is much need
of Improvement, as already the farm
ers of Clay county have lost many
thousands of dollars worth of real
estate, and are in line to lose more.
Inc WARM weather OF the past
week, and a promised continuation,
has served to cause much a%pprehen-
sion with regard to the Missouri river,
The ice has beer fading away fast,

AFTER THE RAILROADS.
Thirty Bills Have Already Been In
troduced in South Dakota Legis

lature.
Up to the present time thirty bills
affecting railroads in a greater or less
degree have been introduced, with
the session not yet half gone. While
some of these are duplicates, there is
a long string. which if enacted, would
make a radical railroad "code.' In
the house list is one which is a 2-cent
rate measure. This bill provides for
transferable mileage books, which
shall be good upon any road in the
state. Another by Mcdonnell does
not attempt to go so far, and is the
the 2-cent rate bill which has been
passed by the house. A bill by John,
o of Clark, makes it a misdemeanor
for any conductor to allow gambling
upon the train which he is manag-
ing. Still another requires railway
companies to fence, with woven wire,
their right of ways across farms,
wherever the farmer has so enclosed
the rest of his field adjoining the rail
way track.
Representative Simonson has a bill
which prohibits drinking on trains,
and makes it the duty of any con
ductor to arrest any person so offend
ing, and turn him owe to the proper
authorities at the next station where
the train makes a stop. Mr.. Simon
sons bill gives to all train employees
full police powers to make arrests. or
do any other official duty intrusted
to a police officer.
A house file bill introduced by Nor.
ris, requires all railway companies
operating in the state to equip it's
engines with electric headlights of not
less than $500 candle power, without
the aid of a reflector. the roads being
given six months in which to comply
with this regulation. Representative
