Election nay in south Dakota.

SIOUX FALLS. s., D., March 15.-(Spe-
cial.)-The annual municipal elections will
be held Tuesday in a large number OF the
smaller towns of South Dakota. Local Of
ficers will be elected and in a great ma
jority of the towns the question of license
or no license will be voted upon. In one
or two towns, Willow Lakes among them,
the petitions which were filed asking that
the license question be submitted to the
voters, did not contain the required num-
Der OF legal signatures and were rejected.
In the case of Willow Lakes this means
tina that town will be dry during the COM
ing year. All the elections will be without
political significance, as they will be de-
termined purely upon local questions, party
lines not having been drawn in any of the
towns. The larger towns of the state, such
as Sioux Falls, will not hold their annual
municipal elections until April 20.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., March 15.-CSpe-
cial)-The recent death of Miss Fannie w.
Alderman, a resident of Charles Mix
county since the early days. is worthy of
more than passing mention. At the time
of her death she was 81 years OF age, and
had been an invalid for a period of forty
years. Her life was comparatively inactive,
but she read much and wrote many verses,
which were fauItless In rhyme and rhythm.
The distinguishing feature of all her poetry
was its cheerfulness, Notwithstanding that
since being a young woman she had been
practically helpless and had every reason
TO complain of her condition.

evidence with the decision shows a dis
crepancy.
Mr.. Taylor is now figuring on how much
authority the house has to call for the
books and records and witnesses to testify
as to the earnings of the company. II he
concludes the house has that power with
out the consent Of the senate 1t is his in
tention to ask for the appointment of a
committee to look into the matter.
The bill to reduce the rates charged at
the stock yards has already passed the
house and is now in the senate, so Mr..
Taylor is in some doubt about the au-
thority of the house in the case.
Physical Bill.
TIL Oils physical valuation bill was
recommended for passage after the $4,000
had been cut off 1t. This was believed
necessary because the bill originated in the
senate. The appropriation will be added to
the present appropriation bill.
Omaha Delegation Hangs Back.
The delegation from the Second district
il still up in the air over the selection of
members Of the sitting committed, and so
far efforts to AVE a meeting Of the dele
cation have failed. Stoecker refuses to call
the meeting and Shoemaker and Howard
we're willin gto sign a call for tomorrow
night, but not for tonight. Howard is in
favor of selecting Schoettger Of Washington
and Gates of Sarpy as members of the sift-
ing committee because the Omaha mem
bers have not been for all of his measures.
The house adjourned tonight without
taking action on the Connolly resolution for
a committee to investigate the packing
companies. Connolly made an effort to get
his resolution called up following the COM
mittee of the whole, but he was not heard
by the speaker.
Pushing Irrigation Bill.
Senator Raymond of Scott's Bluff is still
urging s. T. ia. providing for condemna-
ton Of reservoir sites for benefit of water
users. Agitation against the bill has not
ceased I'm his home county. but he insists
1t is because the fear OF the tri-state canal,
which he declares is without foundation in
this instance. He has prepared an amend
ment to the bill as folls, end he will ask
the committee to report It In the following
form:
And such proporti, nate interest may be
acquired by purchase or condemnation
proceedings in a court of competent juris-
diction In the same manner as Is provided
by law for the condemnation of right-of-
way for canals and bitches. Provided,
however, that joint ownership and joint
control of such works has been made by
the party or parties making such condem-
nation. The right to the use OF such excess
reservoir capacity and such surplus water
may be acquired by any party or paries
entitled to the use of water for beneficial
purposes, including parties whose existing
water supply is not sufficient for their
needs. Provided, further, that this section
shall not be construed to permit any per-
son, persons, company or corporation to

WINTER WoOp.
Il Makes the Best and Most Last.= 2
Kind Of Timber.

q Makes the Best and Most Last.@s
Kind Of Timber.
1t has long been known that winter
was the best time Of the year for cut
ting down trees for their timber. but
until the American bureau of forestry
published the results Of some expert.
ments no one was sure why. The bu-
reau IF forestry selected four pine
trees Of the same age and Of equal
yigor, growing in the same soil, and
felled them, the first at the end Of
December. the second at the end Of
January, the third at the end of Feb
ruary and the fourth at the end Of
March. They were hewn into logs Of
the same size and dried at the same
place. Then the logs were tested.
The December log resisted a fexile
strain twice as strong as that which
the March log resisted. 1t furnished
piles which were still perfect and un-
decayed sixteen years later, while the
piles made from the March log had
rotted within three or four years.
Wood that is felled in December is
less porous than that cut at other
times. It has been proved that oak
felled in tie spring allowed water to
percolate through it In from two to
three hours, while similar wood cut In
December was seemingly impermeable.
There is very simple method Of as
three hours, while similar wood cut in
winter OF in spring. The former con-
tains foury particles, which turn blue
when tincture of iodine is poured upon
them. The latter preserves its natural
tint or merely becomes a little darker
at the contact Of iodine.-New York

South American Dictators Who Im'i-
tated the French Dsspot.
The dictatorship of Castro in Yene-
zuela has been compared with that of
President Francia, who terrorlzed Par
aguay for over thirty years. Francia
was a wOrshiper Of Napoleon, whom
he endeavGred to initiate in every pos
sible way. He possesses only one por-
trait Of his idol, a German caricature,
which depicted the emperor wearing
an exaggerated version Of the famous
gray overcoat Francia took this pic
ture seriously and for many years pa
raded the streets Of Asuncion clad IL
gray dressing gown and a cooked
hat, which he fondly believed to be
the habitual garb of the French des-
pot
Castro's most distinguished predeces-
sor was also a Napoleon devotee, but
Bolivar had seen his idol and could
thus initiate him more faithfully. He
managed to acquire the emperors
brusque speech and other mannerisms
pulled peoples ears when in good
humor and dictated dispatches to sew
eraI secretaries at once. He founded
an order closely modelled on the L.
gion of Honor; surrounded himself
with guard of negroes from Haiti
after the style of Napoleon's mann =
lukes. and endeavored to codify the
! laws of his country. When he return
ed to America after witnessing Nap y
Icons coronation Bolivar entered Ca

Cracked Furniture.

Ugly marks caused by splits or
cracked places in furniture are easily
alled in with beeswax, and the mark
Is never detected. In fact this is how
furniture dealers cover such blemishes.
First slightly soften the beeswax until
1t is like putty, then press firmly into
the cracks and smooth evenly with
thin knife. Sandpaper over the
surrounding wood and work the dust
Into the .beeswax. This gives a wood
finish or color, and when the furniture
is vanished you will look In vain for
the blemishes. 1t is better than putty
since putty soon dries, crumbles and
falls out, while beeswax win remain
forever just where it is placed.

took place five years ago when he
was conducting a store in his home To-

power. When he finally sold out his
store and started ranching nothing

too much for his conscience, he un-

The amount was trif1ling however, but
when a receipt was written ION ac-
