The state legislature does not
seem disposed to accept the gift
from the government of the Indian
school buildings al Chamberlain and
to maintain them for the benefit of
Indian children. The government
has closed its school at that point and
has made a tender to the state the
buildings that were in use. The dis
cussions SO far are to the effect that
the state does not want to become
responsible for the maintenance of
them. having about all it can take
care of in the educational line for
the many years to come.

WHEATON DOWN AND OUT.

Making a fight v the pure food
law and against surroundings which
ought to have appealed t o him, Com
missioner Wheaton of the pure food
department of the state, is very like
ly to be deposed from his position
Wesley to make his appointment. The
senate has given intimation sufficient
that it will not confirm the appoint
ment of Wheaton, which IS likely TO
go to Prof. Cook, of Brookings. Dis
cussing the situation as it applies to
Commissioner Wheaton, S. 4. Travis,
the correspondent of the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader, has the following COM
ment to make:
For the past two years there has
been open antagonism between a. H.
Wheaton, the state pure food com
missioner, or the one side, and the
wholesalers and the druggists of the
state on the other side. Mr.. Wheaton
has put constructions on the laws
governing his department which were
not in accord with the ideas of the
wholesalers and the druggists, and
several of his rulings have been car
ried to the courts. in which he has
been worsted in the contest. At the
opening OF the present session he
came here with a number of bills in
which he sought to have enacted into
arr-o hte ;rjn,- ,rl;al, ~ 49,. ..:1
were not contained in existing en-
actments. AT the same time the
druggists had prepared a bill of their
own, which they We're pushing, and
the wholesalers and millers were
after his other bills, as impracticable
and hampering in the conduct of
their business, without beneftting the
public in any way. The drug bill
was the center of the contest, and
was passed in the house as the drug
gists wanted it, regardless OF the
wishes of the pure food commission
er. 1t went to the senate, where 1t has
been a point of controversy for a
long time, with the druggists carry
Jng their points on all the prelimin-
airy skirmishes. But when It came up
for ANAL action yesterday. no n was
% surprised than Mr.. Wheaton to
md that 1t passed the senate amend
ed to place It's enforcement under
the commissioner instead Of the state
board Of pharmacy as 1t was first
drawn. The unanimous vote instead
Of giving him cheer and encourage
ment has had the opposite effect, as
he takes It as an intimation that he
will not get the opportunity to work
under the law, but that some other
man will be looking after It's en-
forcement. Whether this is the true
meaning or not will be developed
within a few days, as the appoint
ment Of a successor will be made
some time the present week"

souri, A couple of years ago the
board of charities put in a septic
tank, but it has proved a failure and
now DR.. Mead is seeking ~authoriza-
ton to carry out a long cherished
scheme to carry the sewerage off to
the gardens, where it will be used as
a fertilizer along scientific princi-
pies. About fifty thousand gallons
of sewerage must be disposed of
daily which will be carried from the
hospital through IA main to a safe
distance from the premises where it
will be delivered into a covered
aume, the bottom of which is a deep
bed of sand, which extends out for
a considerable distance on each side
of the fume. The latter is to be
long enough So that the entire flow
will be absorbed before it reaches
the further end. The water pene-
trating the sand will carry with it
the nitrates and other valuable
chemical parts Of the sewerage,
spreading them through u the
area of the sand bed, which outside
walls of the flume will be overlaid
with rich earth upon which the insti-
tuition gardens will be cultivated. Be
fore the sewerage reaches the hume
the solids will have been dissolved
and much of them carried into the
sand, but the heavier portions will
be deposited in the bottom of the
flume SO that every year or two the
cover, which will be in the form of
concrete slabs, will be removed and
the deposits taken away and new
sand supplied. Mr.. Mead is conf
dent that in this way he will not
only dispose of the sewer problem
forever but hat he will at the same
time produce one of the greatest
gardens upon the continent
a somewhat similar system is
used at Berlin, where all of the
sewerage is disposed of by such a
process upon a farm of twelve hun
dred acres which was formerly a
worthless sand barren. Prof. Rob-
ert F.. Kerr. when upon a visit to
Europe a few years ago, spent some
time studying the Berlin sewer gard
ems and learned that they were re-
garded as the most productive on
earth, while the large number of per-
sons engaged in cu1tivating them
and caring for the sewer plant are
much the h%ealthiest connected with
any industry in Berlin. The plant
is utterly i%noffensive to any one and
a problem, which was once the most
vexing connected with that city of
more than two million people, has
been solved to the perfect satisfac-
ton of every one.
So far as we know it has not been
tried in America and DR.. Mead's UNI
%dertaking is therefore a matter of
much more than local interest. II
he can thus dispose of the sewerage
of an establishment in which there
are more than nine hundred per-
sons, without offense and with great
profit then the same system can be
applied to most of the cities and
town, and the privilege will
become, instead of a heavy tax upon
the community, a source of revenue.

ON THE ANTITRUST BILL
The Amendment TO the Measure Was
Reconsidered and Passed the
Senate-Bill Less Drastic.


Pierre. S. d., March 2.-The anti
trust bill which was disposed of yes
terday by the senate was reconsider
ed today. Senator Curtiss, who had
offered the amendment to the bill
and fought for its passage, informed
the senate that his substitute had
been drafted by the Assistant Attor-
ney General Sterling, Senator Bates
and himself and had met the approx
al of Attorney General Clark, hat
official having written him a letter
endorsing it. The objection to the
original bill was that it was too dras-
tic as it would confiscate property
The Curtiss bill, it is claimed, cures
the defect of the original bill. 1t will
probably pass the house. 1t passed
the senate yesterday over the opposi-
ton of Senators Dillon, Byrne and
Ewert.
The antitrust bill voted upon in
the senate yesterday defines certain
acts which are held to constitute a
conspiracy in restraint of trade. 1t
specifically prohibits all trusts and
conspiracies as defined, and makes
forfeiture of its charter one of the
penalties for violating the law
A foreign corporation which
violates the law forfeits its right to
do business in the state and can not
cure the forfeiture by transferring its
properties and business to some other
corporation. of the same stockholders
or others. A fine of $50 is also impos-
ed upon al person, firm or corpora
ton violating the act. Any contract
or agreement to violate the law is
declared void. 1t provides im1mun-
ity from Indictment for any witness
on account of anything disclosed in
his testimony. 1t also provides for
recovery in a civil action for damages
by any person injured by such trust
or conspiracy, or who shall have. in
nocently, contributed to the establish
ment of a business which afterward
passes into the control of ownership
of any trust.
The senate today killed the immi-
grafton commissioner bill and the
negotiable instrument bill met a
similar fate in the house.
The general appropriation bill.
carrying a total of s%1S7,400, was re-
ported. Special appropriations asked
for amount to about $500, 900.
The live stock commission bill pas
sed the house on reconsideration. The
Ewert apportionment bill passed both
houses and will go to the governor
for his signature.

believes that a representative ought to
work at the job just as he would man
age his busienss, and to do that he
should have the latest tools to work
with.
Mr.. Adair's little printing office has
attracted a good deal Of attention. The
type is distributed in cases, just as in
the oId-time composing room. When
a letter is 'set up" it is a simple matter,
by operating a lever, to run off 1000
copies an hour. Every representative,
in addition to the ordinary run of cor
responrence, can save time by sending
out form" letters, which contain in
formation as to the granting OF PEN

outfits similar to his.
