introduced and About Two Hundred

Three-Quarter Millions-Many Msas-

and Quite a Few Became Laws.
Pierre. March S.~-The eleventh ses.
sion of the South Dakota legislature
was one from which not much was
expected. 1t was the current thought
OF the newspapers of the state before
It convened that there were no press
ing demands and no great issues to
be considered and this proved to bs
true. No issues of great importance
confronted the legislature to occupy
its attention. Nevertheless, . vast
mum Der of topics were incident in the
form of bills and a good many were
enacted into law, chiefly relating to
the commonplaces Of life. The total
number Of bills in the two houses was
747, many more than were ever be.
fore introduced into Dakota legis.
lature. Vsry many of these were du-
plicates and finally about 25O became
laws.
The campaign of last summer was
made largely upon the proposition
that the legislature of 1907 had been
Drofligate in the expenditures of
money, but both at the primaries and
at the final polls the people justified
the appropriations. Throughout the
campaign Governor Vessey frankly de-
clared that, if elected, he would advo-
cate adequate provision for the main.
tenance of all of the state institutions.
The appropriations policy and the ap-
prOpriaton bills of this session, there.
fore, have been the chiefest subject
of interest To begin with, 1t was un-
derstood that the new capitol was to
9 completed upon better lines than
ad been provided in the original bill
and that provision for this must be
made. 1t was generally conceded that
the completion of the capitol was to
take precedence over additional build
iIgs for the other institutions, each
of which had secured large appropria-
tions at the previous session. This
policy was carried out, the capitol
was well provided for and the institu-
tions given only such additional build.
ings as were necessary for their inn
mediate accommodation. The COM
plete appropriations for the session
are as follows:

work all the agencies that will tend to

this distinctively rural civilization

IN BIG SENATORIAL FIGHT

ST PAUL, Mimi, July 6.-Aiming
to reclaim the big Swedish vote of
Minnesota for the republican party
and detach it from the following of
John A. Johnson, the John Erickson
republican league of Minnesota has
of the most significant ones that have
taken place since the advent of Gov.
johnson into power.
The league is a revival of the old
Swedish republican league which in
times past was potent factor in Min
nesota politics, and the new organiza-
ton will include precinct and local
organizations throughout the state.
Such prominent Scandinavians as
Lieut.. Gov. Eberhart, State Senator
A. ID. Stephens of Crookston, Repre-
sentative G. II. Mattson of Roseau, c.
A. Smith of Minneapolis, and others
are all prominently identified with the
new movement.
The swedish vote of Minnesota is
one of the most cohesive aggregations
to be found anywhere in the United
States. It used to be solidly republic
can, but of late years has been taken
away by the democrats. The move
ment first started with the nominal
ton by the democrats of John Lind

who has figured prominently in con-
nection with the arrest of several men
in Whitman county and two in Frank

subsequent excitement created by his
sudden disappearance under con-

that he had been murdered was in

Aside from Corners and one or two
of the men who are known to be
only riding for him, Gable mentioned
other horsemen in the Crab creek
country who are prominent. whom he
charges with being implicated with
Corners. These men have both money
and influence.
Gable says that he was in the Sand

edral organ.
In fact, Ringing Brothers circus is
this year surprise from the parade
to the last act on the long European
bill. At it's spring opening in Madison
Square Garden, New York, it was the
sensational hit of the last twenty five
years of circus openings in the, metro
polls. Many thousands of people were
turned away. 1t was the most remark
able circus season in the history of
, Manhattan.
This years special attractiveness
lies in the great array of European
sensations like the Arthur Saxon trio
of strong men, the Schumann per-
forming horses, the double somer-
sautng automobile, the telephoning
elephants, Roblidello the marvellous
wire dancer, horses that skate and
pigs that make balloon ascensions.
The big circus will visit North Yak
ina on Friday Aug. 13, giving pre-
cisely the same performance as during
the New York engagement. Not a
single act has been changed. For its
tour on the road under canvas as en-
tirely new outfit has been built and in
its new dress with its many hundreds
of elaborate wagons and properties it
presents most brilliant spectacle.

granted in Illinois AZ years ago, Mrs.
Hanna Douglas, an aged and infirm
resident of Los Angeles, will be ap-
praised shortly that the supreme
court of the state of Washington has
decided she is neither the wife nor
the widow of the late Hiram L.
Douglas who died in Spokane in 1900,
leaving a valuable estate. They were
married in Michigan in 1853 and sep
arated five years afterward, when
Douglas went to Illinois, where he in
stituted an action for divorce alleging
desertion.

The records show the decree was
granted. Douglas came to the North
west in 1888 and located on a home
stead in Spokane county. He was
killed in runaway accident two years
later, when his daughter and her hus-
band, George w. Teller, began to de-
velop the farm, making it valuable
property. To establish heirship Mrs.
Douglas alleged she never heard of
the divorce until after her husband s
death, asserting also that it was void
because it had not been signed and
that it was procured by fraud The
supreme court ruled that it is now too
late to attack the divorce, thus award
ing the estate to Mrs. Teller.

TIGERS AGAIN
LEAD LEAGUE
WIN TIN INNING BATTLE
w. A. & III. I. Co. Team Loses First
Two Games of Observation-Disclosures
Shuts Out TOppenish.

The Fourth of July ball games in
the Yakima Valley league resulted in
North Yakima taking the lead in the
pennant race, by virtue of victories
over the Ellensburg and w. A. H. & l.
Co.'S team. The insurance team made
its initial appearance in this city and
was walloped twice in a row. Top
penish larruped Allison's bunch to
1 Sunday and the Tigers doubled the
dose Monday By the score of Is to 0.
The defeats resulted in Manager ALI
son firing a bunch of his stars and is
now looking for new men.
Taylor, who pitched Sunday for the
insurance team, deserved to win but
was given miserable support, his team
mates throwing the ball away when
they did manage 10 get their hands
on the sphere.
Shut Ellensburg Out.
Great gobs of grief and gloom hung
over Ellensburg Sunday evening, when
the Tigers shut out the Colts in a ten
inning affair." 3 to 0. Both teams
played bang-up ball for nine innings
In the tenth the Tigers got to Metcalfe
for three hits in row and scored
three runs. This took the starch out
of the Ellensburg gauge, and they
were retired with ease in the last in
ming. Steele, who formerly played
second base for the Tigers, cavorted
in left field for Ellensburg and made
the error that settled the hash for his
team In chasing a fly he pulled off
the usual circus stunt and the ball
filtered through his fingers. Steele
fell down and it looked for minute
as If he was going to die, but he was
able to walk after the game. The Ell
lensburg fans rose in their wrath and
swore that Steele had thrown the
game. Lars Nelson pitched the best
game of his career and had everything
a pitcher ought to have.
Olson Blows Up.
Southpaw Olson of the Toppenish
team lost his rabbits foot Monday and
the Ellensburg team defeated the In
dams by the score of to 0. The first
man up hit the ball on the trademark
for a home run and six runs We're
scored in the first inning. This is the

first real good walloping Olson has had
this season and the beating like to
broke the lads heart, for he is a hard
worker and wanted to win so bad he
was nervous. Hensling, a former
pitcher on the Tacoma team of the
Northwest league, pitched for Ellens-
burg, and he was too much class for
Toppenish.
