Egan declared himself in favor of all
the progressive legislation that has
been enacted in state and nation, and
for all that is now proposed in South
Dakota, and in addition would make
positions on all boards as well as the
heads of all public institutions elective
instead of appointive. He recognizes

Funeral of Mrs, Reeves.

Madison, Neb., Oct. 19.-Srecial to
TIE News; The funeral of Mrs. J. G.
Reeves was held at the Methods
Eriscoral church of this city. Rev. D.
w. McGregory of st. Edwards, recent
ly pastor of the church, conducted the
services. lnterment was made in the
Clausen cemetery. Neighbors, friend
and acquaintance who had
known the deceased for over thirty
years, came from every part of the
county, the funeral being the largest
ever known in this locality.
Cynthia Fox was born in Grayson
county, Va, April 10, 1850, where she
was married to Mr. j, c. Reeves in
1874. In 1877 Mr.. and Mrs. Reeves
came west and settled on a farm in

removed to Madison, where they have
since resided.

Plan New State House.

Lincoln, Oct. 19.-The construction
of a new capitol or the start on the
construction will enter into the next
campaign. The matter was discussed
to a considerable extent during the
last legislature. but the leaders of that
body insisted that the legislature must
make a record for economy and thus
no progress was made. Now that the
state debt is wired out and the state
hoard of equalization has abolished the
one-mill levy for the creation of a re.
demption fund to pay off the debt. it is
being argued that the taxpayers would
be willing to continue paying that one
mill in order to create fund for the
construction of the new building. By
building a wing at time it is figured
a new state house could be built with
in four or five years at cost of some
$4,000 900 or more and the tax would
be so small the work would be fin.
ished before the taxpayers realized
they were spending the money. The
present state house has long since
proven inadequate. The public library
which could not be replaced at any
price is housed in one wing of the
building which is entirely too small
for 1t and it is subject to destruction
by fire at any time. That there is
considerable sentiment for a new
building was demopstrated last winter
WHEN objection was made to starting
SOS 600 building for the state histor-
ical society. The appropriation which
was to begin this structure was vetoed
by Governor Shallenberger. The gen.
eral sentiment seemed to be to con-
spending any great amount of money
for historical building.
1t is now legal for anyone in the
state to shoot and kill squirrels. Dur
ing October and November the law
provides an oren season for these an
finals and the slaughter is likely to
be something terrible. Since 1908 it
has been unlawful to kill squirrels in
Nebraska and as a result the state is
overrun with them, in some sections
to such an extent that they have be-
come pests. Al Auburn some time
ago several squirrels went mad and
bit couple of little girls. This caus-
ed the city authorities of the commu-
nifty to open the season on squirrels a
little ahead of time, but it is reported
there are lots of them yet in Auburn.
The supreme court of the state has
certain rules and these rules will be
followed by practicing attorneys or
there will be trouble. The city attor-
ney and his two deputies of Omaha
have been cited for contempt because
of disrespectful language used in a
brief filed in the court. The briefs
were ordered stricken from the files.
1t now remains only for the attorneys
to aTTear and receive punishment at
TIE hands of the court. In times past
PERSONS have been fined for being dis
respectful to the court and lawyers
have had their briefs stricken from
the files and they have saved them
selves more serious punishment by
apologizing to the judges.
