In the office of the state auditor there
are lodged several bills against the
state, incurred by the capital commits
sion, under the provision of chapter
166 of the session laws of 1905, con-
tracetd in good faith and in accordance
with law, for advertising, expenses OF
members, ETC., which have never been
paid. House bill 1923 was introduced, al
the instance of the state auditors de-
partment, to clean up these just claims
against the state. 1t seems that no one
interested appeared before the commit
tee on appropriations, to whom the bill
was referred, and in total ignorance OF
the merits, of the measure the commit
tee reported the measure unfavorably
These old unpaid bills, regularly certi-
fed and audited, constitute just claims
against the state, and their payment out
of the interest and income fund of the
capitol building ought to be authorized
The house should recommit the bill to
the committee on appropriations, judi
ciary or state affairs, that the merits
may be more fully considered.

There was quite a lively contest for
the passage Of House Bill No. 276,
which provides for the dividing Of
what is now the Fifth judiciaE dis
trict. When the measure was put to
vote it was defeated and Mr. Skull
ason gave notice that he would move
for reconsideration of the motion
this afternoon at 2:90. It is likely
that all sorts of oratory will be shot
off in the debate, it being alleged
that the district is so large that the
judge cannot handle the work.
Mr.. Price of Cass, asked unanimous
consent to introduce a new bill pro-
viding for the extension and i'm
provement of the state street car SER
vice, which carried with it an ap-
preparation in the sum of $4,000, but
the sentiment was against the intro
duction of the measure at this late
date
A recess was taken until 10 o'clock
this morning.

In the House

The house had its working clothes
on yesterday and disposed of a vast
amount of business at its several ses-
sions, incidentally disposing of sever
al measures, deciding among other
things that the present primary law is
not to be changed at this session, and
it would not repeal the so-called drug
gist permit law, but rather strength
en- it. The house turned down by a
close vote Representative Doyle's bill
to eliminate the little square from the
head of the official election ballot
which enables the party devotee to
cast his ballot for the entire party
ticket by single x. 1t also passed
Senator Duis' concurrent resolution
for constitutional amendment au-
thorizing the state to establish termi-
nal elevators outside the state.
During the afternoon session, Mr..
Sorlie Of Trail county, introduced a
resolution, authorizing the attorney
general to institute An action against
the Great Northern Railway company,
for the cancellation of the thansfer to
the company Of the northwest quarter
Of section &c., township 14S, range 81,
which was made by the state board of
school lands in 1901 and which is al
legged to have been made un1awfully
and at less value than tht property
was appraised at by somethin over
$4,000. The resolution also asks for
the recovery of the value OF the land
which the company wasted by reason

Miller telephoned to Temple for as

surrounded the house, hoping to- In
duce Marotte to surrender, but the
Wallet refused to do so, and maintain
ed his threatening attitude.
Finally Marotte left the house by
the back door. Mr.. Eastman and Mr.
Dawson were nearer to Marotte than
the others, and endeavored to per-
suade the insane man to lay down his
pistol. A shot was the invariable re-
ply. AS last resort, Dawson, who
shot first at Marotte and missed him.
The Wallet continued to shoot but his
aim was wild and he did not hit any
one.
Finally Eastman pointed shotgun
at the valet and remanded that he
surrender. To save his life the min
lister discharged the gun, the contents
striking Marotte in the forehead and
killing him.
The authorities took no action, ex-
cept to hold formal inque' t. Marotte
was IS years of age and had been
in the service of General Miller three
years. He was unmarried.

LEGALIzING
Water WAGONS
NEW YORK LEGISLATURE WOULD
ENCOURAGE THEM As COM.
MON CARRIERS.

Albany, N. Y, March "A bill was
introduced in the assembly, in the
name of Assemblyman Walters of Syr-
acuse. which Mr.. Walters strongly
suspects is the work of colleague
who comes from his home county. 1t
purports to define a water wagon
and the necessary method to be adopt
ed to get upon it. The bill is written
to take effect St. Patrick's day. 1t says
that twenty-three or more persons
may become corporation for the pur-
pose of constructing, owning, operat-
ing and riding on a water wagon, and
that "such water wagon shall be and
hereby is made common carrier,
with all the rights, privileges and re-
sponsibilities of the same
Then the proposed bill goes on to
recite that the water wagon is to be
provided with a sufficient number of
safe comfortable and commodious
seats to afford accommodation and
safe passage for all applying for rides
thereon and that persons who shall
for one year prior to the passage of
the act have by the speech of people
ben adjudged habitual drunkards shall
be entitled to honorary membership
in the water wagon corporation and be
entitled to rides thereon, "all provi-
sions of the state constitution to the
contrary Notwithstanding" Any person
alleging that he has fallen off the wag-
on for no apparent reason in the past
six months may make complaint
which shall call for an investigation
of the machinery Of the wagon by the
public service commission.

The March term of the federal court
at Bismarck has beef adjourned until
May. This may be an important term.
It is probable that among other matters
that will come up at that time if no
satisfactory compromise is made in the
meantime - will be the condemnation
