Omnibus Claims Bill.

Washington, Jan. Tomorrow
the senate will take up the so-called
omnibus claims bills-a big measure,
whose passage will bring pay and
cash to large number of persons
who have claims against the govern
ment and have been waiting, more
or less patiently, for their money.
The legislative, executive, and ju-
dicial appropriation bill, which car
ries the money for most of the sal
aries in the various government de-
partments, also, probably will be
acted upon this week.
So far there has been no construc-
tive legislation attempted. The sen.
ate has been waiting upon the house
and in doing this has made 1t ap'
parent that it is not the intention oi
the leaders to do much more thai

Tillman Swallowed.

Washington, Jan. Tn papers
forwarded to the senate yesterday by
President Roosevelt, giving the facts
regarding the employment of secret
service men, the name of Senator
Tillman was given as one whom. it
had been thought advisable to shad-
ow. This was a year ago, after he
had made statements concerning the
land grant to the Oregon & Cali
fornia railroad.
The company used Tillman's name
as an interested party, previous to
the attack, when Tillman introduced
a resolution directing the attorney
general to prosecute the Oregon
railroad corporation which received
grants. Interested parties are said
to have sent Roosevelt copies of let
tiers alleged to have been written by
Tillman, indicating that he be in
terested or be benefited through the
company obtaining grants in Ques-
ton.
Senator Tillman will be heard in
his own defense when the report OF
the investigation is made.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Per-
kins special committee will tomor-
row recommend that the presidents
secret service message and that por-
ton of his annual message relative
to the use of secret service be laid
on the table as being unresponsive
and constituting an invasion of the
privileges of the house by question
ing the motive and intelligence OF
its members"

BLACK HILLS PHYSICIANS
Held Regular Bi-NIonthly Meeting
in Dpa(lWOOd

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. S.-The
regular bi-monthly meeting of the
Black Hills District Medical Society
was held in the parlors of the Hotel
Franklin yesterday afternoon. ,Ow-
ing to the intensely cold weather,
the attendance from outside points
was not large, but the meeting was
nevertheless most interesting and
beneficial one.
Those present were: DR.. Gitfin,
of Rapid City; DR.. Chassell, of Belle
Fourche; Drs. Freeman, Clough and
Vercoe, of Lead, and Drs. Allen,
Ashcroft, Coburn and Howe, Of
Deadwood.
A comprehensive review was made
of the progress recorded in the treat
ment of diseases and injuries since
the last meeting of the society.
Probably the most important action
| taken was the passage Of a resolu-
ton which expressed the unqualified
approval of the society Of the law
soon to be introduced at the pres
ent session Of the legislature for the
building by the state Of hospital
| for the cure of consumptives. 1t is
proposed that the institution be not
only for the cure of curables but
for the care of incurables and the
education of those afflicted with the
disease, SO that they may continue
the meth DDS Of treatment when at
their own homes or away from the
hospital. The Black Hills society
favors Fall River county as the place
of location for the proposed institu-
ton. 1t is the opinion Of the mem
bers that the hospital should be free
to all residents of the state, but that
those who are able and feel inclined
to pay for their care, may be charged
reasonable fee.
The next meeting of the society
will be held Up Deadwood on Thurs
day, March 4th.

FELL TWO HUNDRED FEET.
William Schenck Still Alive After
Fall at the Homestake.

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 6.-While
working on the 5OO-foot level in
Slope No. 2, William Schenck Slip
ped and fell fully 200 feet. AS a
result of the fall he now lies in the
Homestake hospital suffering from
severe internal injuries from which
he may never recover.
He was running in timbers at the
time the accident occurred. In
making quick turn to the right the
end of the logs which he was push
ing on a push car crowded him into
the shaft.
Perhaps his worst injury is Sc
we're scalp wound which may later
prove to be a fracture Of the skull.
The accident happened about noon.

COPPER PRODUCTION IN 1908.
Statement by United States GcolOg'
ical Survey Shows Distinct
Increase

To the copper industry Of the Uni
ted States, the year 1908 was a per-
iod of gradual recovery from the Sc
we're depression suffered in the last
part Of 1907. Many producers that
had greatly curtailed or even sus-
pended production in that year be-
gan again to increase output practi-
cally at the opening OF 1908, and in
spite of the low price Of the metal,
nearly all the important producers
of 1907 were in operation through
out most Of 1908, and a few COM
panies began production during the
year. The rate of production has
greater than at any other time IN
the history of the industry.
The production of copper in 1908
has been ascertained by l.. G. Ora
ton of the United States Geological
Survey, through personal interviews
and telegraphic communication dur
ing the last days Of the year. Except
one small company, all producers of
blister and Lake copper have furn-
ed their latest and exact figures, In
most cases for eleven months, to-
gether with estimates of their pro-
duction for the remainder of the
year. If these estimates are real
lied, the production of blister and
Lake copper from ores mined in the
United States, will be greater by
about 100000 pounds, or between
5 and per cent, than that in 1907,
which was S6S,996,491 pounds. 1t
is wholly impossible at this time to
publish figures of state production
that are reliable, but it may be stat
ed concerning the three great cop
per producing states, that Arizona
and Montana show large gains and
Michigan shows little change from
1907. Production Of total refined
new copper by works in this country
cannot yet be given, but probably it
will hardly equal the output of
1907, which was 1,o32,516,247
pounds.
Based on records of the Bureau Of
Statistics covering the first II
months, the 1908 import of copper
in pigs, bars, etc. are estimated at
about 160,0OO,0O0 pounds and in
ore and matte at about 100000
pounds. With addition for copper
in pyrite, not included above, the
total imports may be estimated as
equivalent to about 210,000,000
pounds Of refined copper, decrease
of about 13 per cent from 23S,031,-
800 pounds in 1907. On a similar
basis the exports of metallic copper
are estimated at about 6G0,000,00O
pounds, the largest ever recorded,
and an increase of about thirty per
cent over the 50S,929,4O1 pounds
exported in 1907.
Stocks of refined copper are still
undoubtedly very large. Domestic
consumption of new copper will show
a decline from the 4S5, 100000
pounds of 1907. The average quoted
price Of electro-lytic copper at New
York for 1908 was 1920 cents. The
price at the close of the year was
14.18 cents.
The prospect is bright at the pres
ent for still larger copper produc-
ton in the year 1909, but it is still
evident that the principal producers
will, more than in recent years,
guage their operations by the con-
sumption of the metal, which can
not at this time be safely forecasted.

Democratic Governor in Nebraska

Democratic Governor in Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7.-For the
first time in half score of years
Nebraska has a democratic governor
Ashton O. Shallenberger was today
inaugurated as chief executive and
the event was made the occasion of
widespread jubilation on the part
of the democrats of Bryan's state.
The legislature which convened
plexion for the first time in many
years. Many radical measures will
be taken up, among them law to
guarantee bank deposits, such as
was advocated in the national plat
form of the party. The bill will be
similar to that which is now in sue
cessful operation in Oklahoma.
Another important plank in the
democratic platform is the pledge to
enact law providing for the physi-
cal valuation of public serving cor
porations. This pledge will have
considerable opposition.
County option was an issue in
many Of the counties at the election
and it is claimed that the legislature
is opposed to any change in the pres
ent liquor laws, although the county
option advocates will make a fight
just the same. They claim to have
petition asking for the enactment
of a county option law of the sub.
mission of a prohibition amendment
signed by more than 10000 per.
sons. This petition will be present
ed to the legislature.
