HEADLIGHT ILLUMINES HOUSE
Warm Debate over Measure which
Finally Passes by Decisive
Vote.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1L-(special Tele-
gram)-The house was easily the center of
attraction this afternoon. when the electric
headlight bill was up for action. A vote
was not secured until 6 O'Clock, a small and
active minority opposed to the bill putting
up a contest In which amendments more
or less pertinent were presented, and mo-
tons TO adjourn helped to kill time. The
bill was championed by Morris, Bartine,
Larson of Minnehaha and Larson of Union.
with Fowler, Englesby and Warner the
floor managers OF the opposition. Morris
in his remarks against the postponement
Of action. said that members of the senate
who had voted for the bill had been lobby
ing against 1t on the floor of the house,
and that those who opposed the bill were in
several cases under coercion, and that all
the demand for delay amounted to was a
desire to club members into submission.
The debate warmed up before 1t was finished
and was shut off by the previous question,
when the bill passed by a vote OF SO to IS.
The senate passed the house resolution
Tor submitting to the people of an amend
ment to the constitution allowing state
lands to be leased for agricultural purposes.
This measure called out a debate on the
best interests Of the, state, being opposed
by Lockhart and Byrne and supported by
Bates. That body passed several other
minor bills without any furry.
Among the house bills introduced was one
by Norris, re-enacting the primary election
law, to cut out two primaries in presidential
years and such other amendments as may
be deemed best.
The house passed the bill to make it a
misdemeanor to drink intoxicating liquors
or be drunk on a passenger train and Civ
ing justices general jurisdiction to deal
with such cases; and postponed the bill for
insurance Of bank deposits until wednes-
day Of next week, the bill being opposed
in its present shape by Speaker CLANCY.

[FRoM NEW YORK WORLD, JUNE TO- 1851
SAYS COOPER
WOKE UP RECENTLY
Westerner Claims Everybody Will Have To
Take His Medicine Eventually.

New York has never before witnessed
such a spectacle as may be seen every
day at Broadway and Ninth streets. II is
here that l.. T. Cooper, the Western
st~omachologist. who claims that stomach
trouble is at the bottom of all chronic i'll
health, Is meeting the public.
1t would be difficult to estimate lust
how many people call to talk with Cooper
during a single day. The store where he
is holding forth seems to have become the
Mecca for ailing people In New York, and
the amount of medicine he is dlsposing is
In addition to what he sells
himself, druggists generally throughout
New York are handing his preparations
out in unlimited quantities.
A leading druggist said recently: '"The
public seems to have lost it's mind over
this man Cooper. Personally. I don't know
anything about his medicine. We had
nothing to do with his coming to New
York and he has until recently sold his
preparation through one company. I SUD
pose he thought New York was like one
of his Western towns and everybody could
be supplied from a corner drug store. He
woke up about a week ago and put It on
sale everywhere. Since then we have been
selling 1t. l don't know how long this
demand will last, but I have never before
seen anything like it,"
In an interview Monday afternoon
Cooper said 81 am not making any wild
claims for my medicine. All It does is to
stimulate the gastric juices and regulate
the digestive organs. but people do not
realize how splendid their health would
be II only their stomachs were not languid
and enfeebled by years of abuse.

Extension

The supervisors Of Pottawattamie county
went TO Logan yesterday where a joint
session as a drainage board was held with
the supervisors of Harrison county.
The contract for the construction OF the
Boyer cutoff extension ditch was awarded
TO Stenberg g. Sons, of Fort Wayne. Ind,
on their bid Of ! s-1OO cents per cubic yard.
There were seventeen bidders and the
supervisors feel that the contract was
awarded at a very low figure. There are
are about six miles OF ditch to be dug,
and the cost is estimated at about 81. 900.
All OF the new ditch is in Harrison county.
although forming part Of the Pottawatta
mie-Harrison Joint drainage system.
Only three bids for the work on the
Seaton ditch lateral we're received and
these the board considered too high so
they rejected all three and will probably
readvertise for bids.
The Western Dredging company was or
dered paid the % per cent which had been
been held back on the Boyer cutoffs No.
l and No. . contracts. The court recently
dissolved the injunction against these two
pieces of work, but the order still remains
in force against the Willow creek ditch.
The supervisors returned last evening
and will devote today to committee work.
They will reconvene in adjourned session
Friday. at which time they will hold
another hearing in the matter of the papers
seeking the contract for publishing the

Indication. Tho sum involved is $500,
which the husband OF Mrs. Dougherty left
her. Before her estate or that of her hus-
bands could be properly administered. the
wife died and the claimant was a son, who,

WHY SPAIN GAVE UP CUBA
Fear of Attack on Home Coast and
Revolution Within Caused
Surrender.

MADRID, Feb. 11.-Following the publ
cation OF certain cablegrams exchanged be-
tween the Spanish government at Madrid
and General Blanco at Havana. relative to
the surrender of Cuba to the United States
in 1898, it is now learned that fear of an
American attack upon the coast Of Spain
and a subsequent revolution in this country
was the official reason for Premier Sagasta's
decision to make peace with the United
States. Moreover, this decision was reached
before the negotiations for the surrender
of Santiago were concluded.
These facts have been disclosed by the
further publication of the correspondence
between general Blanco and Premier
ssgasta. at the inst!gatlon OF Blanco, as a
defense against the charge of cowardice
made against the Spanish army in Cuba
by a deputy.
