TWELFTH LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Weeks Doinss of Our Body Of Law
Makers at the Capital City
Pierre, Jan. 80. After q weeks
recess the legislature took up work
again on the "a. While home
the members had opportunity to
get public opinion on important
issues. They say that the Day
light Saloon Bill is being favor
ably received by the constituents.
Some report that the liquor men
in their vicinity are supporting it.
The Good Roads measures do not
seem to be receiving so much pop
ular favor. Most of the eastern
members state that their people
are opposed to any county unit or
engineer feature. One of them
explained it on the ground that the
county commissioners have charge
Of bitches at present, and that con-
siderable controversy has develop
ed over their administration of the
same. The people are afraid that
the same methods would apply to
the county administration of roads.
The Bigelow school code was
threshed over by the delegates to
the conservation congress, and
met the disapproval of most of
them. Members report the same
feeling in their precincts. They
also say that there is a general
sentiment against abolishing the
statd engineer.
y The school house and public
lands committee is about ready to
report on a comprehensive bill
regulating leasing of public lands.
The bill will provide for five year
leases, at q minimum rental of So
per acre per anum for agricultur-
al, and 81 per acre for grazing
land. In every case the land
must be appraised and rent made
equal to Eve per cent of the ap-
praised valuation for agricultural
and u per cent for pasture. Flax
will be permitted only for the
first year. Timber may be sold
off of state lands, if calipering
greater than eleven inches. In
every case four trees must be left
for seeding purposes. At the end
of the lease property may be sold
to the highest bidder.
The Perkins reapportionment
bill was introduced the middle of
the week. If passed it gives new
senator's to Perkins, Corson,
Schnasse, Butte, Harding, Tripp,
Meade, Lyman and Stanley. The
number in some eastern counties
is reduced by the formation of
larger senatorial districts. Union,
Bon Homme, Turner. Hutchinson,
Lincoln, Minnehaha, Brookings,
Roberts, Day and Lawrence each
lose one house member and Yank-
ton two. New representatives are
gained by Gregory, Stanley, Ly-
man, Mease. Corson, Dewey,
Harding, Perkins, Schnasse, Sterl-
ing and Tripp. Other counties
maintain their present representa-
tion. The old numbers of lO4
representatives and 45 senator's is
maintained. The units used in
appOrtioning are about $500 for
representatives and 10000 for
senator's.
Nelson of Lincoln, believes that
the anti-treating law is . farce, and
that it can be remedied by making
the saloon keeper responsible for
its enforcement. He has intro
duced bill to that effect. Giedt
of Mcpherson has . bill for it's
repeal.

and for increasing the resisting power
of the animals. In addition to this the
suns rays aid in drying and disinfect-
ing the stable. Light Is also necessary
to enable those who care for stables to
see the dust and filth and to put 1t into
proper sanitary condition. Dark stables
are almost universally dirty, damp and
unhealthy.
"a stable must be clean to be SAM
tary. Cleanliness is the very principle
of sanitation and it must be continu-
ally kept In view. Not only must the
filth on the surface Of the floors be
removed, but there must be no chan
nels by which 1t can gather between
or beneath the flooring to ferment,
putrefy and pollute the atmosphere.
The dust which gathers about many
COW stables Is often more objection
able than the filth on the floors. In
infected stables the dust Is certain to
contain tubercle bacilli, and these are

Winter Quarters For hoas.

1t IS very necessary not only for the
brood sows and young growing hogs,
but particularly so for the fall filters.
to have very warm, dry sleeping quar-
tiers as far removed from the feeding
quarters as possible. Young pigs can
not thrive In cold sleeping quarters or
where il Is the least bit damp.
The beds for young pigs or even
older pigs In winter should be changed
at least once a week and better if
done twice each week, at which time
the floors or ground on which they
sleep should be sprayed with crude oil
or a good dip, after which a clean dry
bed should be again put in. Regarding
the various kinds Of straw used for
bedding, rye straw comes first In quail
ity and durability. 1t is cleaner, free
from shaft, and wears well. Wheat

Liverpool, Nov. 25.-Thirty-three
workers are known to have been
killed and upwards of 100 injured by
a boiler explosion which occurred at
the oil cake mills Of ]. Bibby & Sons.
The force of the explosion vas SO
terrific that the roof of the great mill
was blown off, while the walls split
and crumbled. An outburst Of flame
followed.
Nearly 400 workers were engaged
in the building at the time. The bod.

being thrown into the streets, together
with bricks and debris.

CLEAN STABLES
PREVENT DISEASE.

The bureau Of animal industry,
United States department Of agricul-
ture, in a report on tuberculosis says:
Life In the open air for cattle as
with man, is not always sufficient to
prevent infection with tuberculosis OF
20 cure II. but its influence Is favor
able and reduces the chances OF infec-
ton to the smallest proportion. while
at the same time ii places the diseased
animal under the best conditions for
recovery.
"In most stables the conditions OF
life are unfavorable in the extreme
and radically different from what they
are in the open air. Most stables have
no provision for ventilation: either
there are drafts of air upon the ami
NAL. favoring the production OF colds
and catarrh, or there is an insufficient
supply of oxygen. This has had an
important bearing on the spread OF
tuberculosis I'm cattle, for where there
is no ventilation, disease germs carried
into a stable are likely to remain there
until they infect the animals.
at is just as desirable that there
should be ample provision to let light
into the stable, for the direct rays OF
the sun are of especial value for de-
~stroying the germs Of consumption

ton of the confession, which reads as
follows:
II, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr, DESTROYS
of standing right before God and man,
do on this the 23rd of November, 1911,
confess my guilt of the crime charged
against me. Much that was published
concerning the details was not true,
but the awful fact, without the har-
rowing circumstances, remains. For
this action l am truly sorry, and, be-
lieving that l am at peace with God,
and am soon to pass into His presence,
this statement is made"
Beattie's confession was followed by
the following statement by the attend
ing ministers:
This statement was signed in the
presence Of the two attending minis
ters and is the only statement that can
and will be made public by them.
Mr.. Beattie desired to thank the
many friends for kind letters and ex-
pressions of interest and the public
for whatever sympathy was felt or ex-
pressed"
The attending ministers would not
discuss the case in any way until they
had visited Beattie's parents in South
Richmond and had secured their per-
mission to make the confession public.

report that he may be a candidate for

patch from Oyster Bay:
Colonel Roosevelt finds it difficult
to understand the comment the state
ment reads, that has followed upon
his article in the Outlook regarding

article indicates he is ready to take
any personal part in the coming cam
paign.
at can be stated that Colonel
Roosevelt has received many letters
indicating the willingness Of the writ
ers to give him political support II
such is desired. 1t can be stated that
Colonel Roosevelt received a letter
from a certain United States senator
offering the full Republican support
Of the senator in case Colonel Roose-
welt should wish to be a candidate in
the national campaign. To this letter
Colonel Roosevelt has replied that he
earnestly hopes the senator will not
only refrain from any action looking
to the nomination of Colonel Roose-
welt, but also will prevent his friends
from taking any such steps,"
