Dog and Woman Save Town.

Tyndall, S. d., Feb. 19.-The in
telligence of dog and the energy Of
a woman were all that saved Tyndall
from a disastrous fire. While a gale
was blowing, Severn, the Great Dane
watchdog in the basement of the de-
partment store of Mrs j. Bouza,
awakened the family. Mrs. Bouza
hurried into the store, finding the
basement so full of smoke it could not
be entered. She located the very
spot in the floor under which the fire
was burning, and, selling an axe,
welded it with such strength that
she cut through the floor and had
drenChed the fire with buckets Of
water before the fire department
could lay hose. The blaze was in a
pile of brooms and had got a good
start. %

Basketball at Eluin,

Elgin, Nob., Feb. 22-Tho Elgin
high school basketball team met the
team from Gates academy ON the
home floor In one of the fastest games
seen here this season. During the
first half of the game the teams
seemed evenly matched with every
man in the game all of the time. II
ended with a score of $40 in favor
of Elgin. The second half was Elgin's
all the way The final score was S-27.
The Neigh boys did some good team
work, using signals to advantage, but
they were weak in goal shooting,
with the exception of two or three
minutes in the last half the game was
free from roughness. The official
from Gates, Mr. Best did excellent
work.

BURT ALLOWS NO SMOKING.
President of Great Western Regulates
Personal Habits

Omaha, Feb. 22.-Horace G.. Burt,
successor to A. b. Stickney as presi.
dent of the Great Western, has pro.
hibited smoking in the headquarters
of that railroad, so a representative
of the Great Western tells "the boys
in Omaha, and local railroad men are
having amusement over the fact.
yes, sir" says this man, "Mr. Burt
has placed such a rule in effect and
| haven't seen it violated up to date,
either. Why, if the general manager
wanted to smoke he'd have to leave
the building to do it. | happen to
know that the general manager, who
is quite smoker, wanted to take a
puff or two the other day and his
work, would not permit him to leave
his office, so he cut out the puff"
1t is recalled by some of the North.
western men in Omaha that this is no
innovation for Mr.. Burt, as he adopted
the same rule when he first came to
Omaha as local head of the North
western.
Mr.. Burt makes no claim to being a re-
former, but he believes smoking inter
feres with work and he never did be-
lieve in tolerating anything that stood
between man and his best work.
Many radical changes in the per-
sonnet of the officers at Great West
ern headquarters have been made and
are being made since Mr. Rurt form
erly president of the Union Pacific.

The Valentine Satisfaction.

Superintendent of State Fisheries
w. J. O'Brien, in his report to Gov
ernor Shallenberger, makes the follow.
ing recommendations as to the sub
station at Valentine
"If work is to be continued at the
Cherry county substatiOn, an ap-
preparation of at least $4,000 should
be made to either buy site and
build ponds at some point along the
Niobrara, or MinnechaduZa rivers
near Valentine, or one or more lakes
now stocked with bass, should be
secured with sufficient land on which
to build ponds and care takers cot
tage. No attempt should be made to
build up a second institution like the
main hatchery. All that is needed
would be a plain dwelling and some
large ponds. Bass cannot be stripped
and the eggs Matched on trays like
trout, or in jars like we handle the
pike, but must be allowed to propa-
gate in the natural way, and it has
been fully demonstrated that this
cannot be done successfully in small
ponds. Large ponds or lakes are alb
solutely necessary for the production
of fish Of the bass families in guam.
titles, and we cannot supply these
conditions at the present hatchery
on account of lack of pond room and
water supply. We also need a larger
allowance for procuring fish transpor-
tation, etc, to permit us to more eX-
tensively seine the overflow ponds
along some of our streams every fall.
Millions of fish perish in these ponds
nearly every winter that might be
saved with a limited expenditure Of
money. We will also require more
money for necessary labor, the amount
allowed at the last session being ut
terly inadequate to keep the hatch
cries in the condition expected by the
visiting public"

BiII-For Four Year Terms.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 19.-The house
declared for a voluntary bank deposit
law to apply to deposits bearing per
cent interest or less. If larger rate
is paid the risk remains the same as
under the present system. The whole
afternoon was given to this measure,
all members desiring to be heard had
the opportunity, and only one man
out of the body containing more than
fifty farmer members admitted that
he did not know all about the banking
business. This member is a banker.
The measure will now go to the SEN
ate for completion, and will not meet
with opposition as all parties are
pledged to its enactment and the pres
members.
The senate passed Larson's bill for
constitutional amendment for four
year terms of legislators, one-half to
be holdovers.
BY consent White was allowed to
introduce a bill in the house. its pro-
visions being to prevent the marriage
of common drunkards, habitual Grim
inals, imbeciles and other prohibi-
lions.
After voting on several motions to
adjourn, and re-refer. the house finally
passed the senate bill which repmes
railway companies to place viaducts
either over or under their tracks
wherever ordered 10y town boards or
city councils, and to keep the same in

bin to repeal the free range law. by
presenting a bill to allow the question
to be put to vote on petition of five
per cent of the voters of a county. in
stead of the majority provision of the
present law.
The senate wasted no time in talk
and disposed of twenty-seven bills ut
the afternoon session, among them the
Laurson resolution for constiu-
tional amendment for four-year terms
for legislators, half to be elected every
