EXPENSE ACCOUNT NOW
MUST Be DETAILED
FEW STATE LAW REQUIRES EN-
ACT REPORTS OF OFFICIALS
TRAVELLING EXPENSES.

Pierre, S. D.-Under the provis-
ions of Chapter 4 of the Acts of the
last legislative session, the state au-
ditor's department is preparing a new
form of aftidavits for filing in cases
of expense accounts of state officers
and employees.
The main purpose of the new law
was evidently to stop the use Of state
money in payment of expenses when
out from thesstate capitol. The new
form is somewhat detailed, and re-
duires specific statements as to what
hotels were stopped at and the
amount paid at each: what towns
were visited, and the amount of mile
age used or money paid for the trans
p%ortation to the places visited and
further that the travel and hotel ex-
pense was exclusively on state bust
ness, and what particular business
was transacted, the term Official
business" not covering the ground.
In the affidavit on the back of the
itemized statement, the party swear
that the money was expended for
change the customs of some of the
appolntlVe OI1clalS OF the state, from
the name in which they have been
state and private business
in their official expense accounts. OF
rouse no mar could be prevented
from transacting private business in
town to which state business real
took him, but in his affidavit he
will have to show that he had state
business in the town where his pri-i
business interests were, as an
for getting there.

G. \. r. OF STATE DECLARE
THEIR MEMBERS SHOULD
LOOK AFTER THE INSTl.
TUITION.

QU r4N s-a aTa ~
Pierre, S. D.-The following reso-
buttons were adopted by the G. A. r.
at their encampment in this city to-
day:
ITO the Commander and Com
rades of the State Encampment of
the, G. A. r., South Dakota.
Your committee or resolutions
Fraternally make the following re-
port:
Your Committee has had under
consideration several matters refer
red to it, and respectfully recon-
mends as follows:
THAT the resolutions adopted by
the state w. r. C. to give the sum
of sixty ceents per capita for the
purpose of employing a female nurse
at the State Soldiers Home TO care
for the invalid wives of inmates of
the Home be approved.
with reference to the attempt to
smirch the military record of Thos.
H. Brown, it has been fully proven
THAT the reports circulated against
him were utterly false, and that he
lis completely indicated by and be-
/ for the Encampment. And further
that in view of the fact that Com
rade NJ. j. Hawley, of Watertown,
South Dakota, a member of Free
man Thayer Post No. 50, has made
a humble apology for the parttaken
byhimin the matter, and has express
ed a desire to make all possible
amend for, what he has done, that his
said apology be accepted, and we
commend his prompt frankness in
this regard. Your committee wish
they could say rs much for other
comrades who may be implicated in
circulating the false reports against
Comrade Brown.
.sWith reference to the existing
law regarding the admission of APP
plicants to the Soldiers Home, we be-
lieve that some very important
amendments should be made there
to. among which there should be a
provision requiring the county
boards to examine into the moral
Echaractermand habits, physical and
mental condition of each applicant,
and, there should be a more rigid
compliance on the port Of the coun-
" boards with reference to order
ing the acceptance into the Home of
those whose income exceeds the
amount stated in the law. The wis
dom of this law creating the county
boards, is seriously questioned.
"Your committee believe that the
practice universally followed here
tofore, of placing only members of
the G. A. r. upon the Home board,
and in positions as officers of the
Home, and as far as practicticably
consistent with good service, as en-
ployes of the Home, should be
strictly adhered to.
THE thanks of this encampment
lis due to General N. H. Kingman,
Department Commander, for his
zeal, efficiency, and great personal
work which has characterized his Of
fetal administration of the affairs of
this department during the past
year
THAT the sincere thanks of this
encampment be extended to the
EComrades. W. r. c., and to the citi-
gems Of Pierre for their cordial en-
tertainment of the members of this
encampment and visiting comrades.
And also our thanks are due to the
railway companies for the courtesies
|extended to the members of the G..
a. R. and visiting Comrades to- this
encampment, in extending to them
reduced rates, and other courtesies."

WHO WILL BE
DELEGATE TO U. S.?
Much interest in Vatican Circles over
tho appointment to be
Made.

limited Press Leased Wire Seryice.l
ROME, Dec. 1G.--Much interest is
being manifested in vatican circles as
to the probable successor of Cardinal
Falconio as apostolic delegate to Wash
ington. The appointment il expected
within the next few weeks and is be-
ing watched for eagerly, as the posi-
ton is regarded as one of the most
desirable in the diplomatic circles OF
the holy see.
The last three ineumbents Satolli,
Martinelli ana Falconio, have been
elevated to the cardinalate, and the
post is now looked upon as the first
step towards the sacred college.
Most cordial relations exist be-
tween the vatican, and the American
government as was demonstrated by
President Taft's recent telegram OF
congratulation to Monsignor Falconi
when the red hat was conferred upon
him.
The apostolic delegate is shown
more public honors at Washington
than the vatican representative to any
other country where me once uoee
not rank az nunciature of the first
order, and from which no ambassador
is sent to the holy see.
The precedent having been estap.
lished that the apostolic delegate shall
succeed to the sacred college, much
care is being taken in selecting the
successor to Cardinal Falconio. Only
one candidate is being mentioned for
the place since the der h OF Mgr
Agius, papal delegate at Manila;

wish, although perhaps not in Just the
way she had imagined.
The great ballroom at Claridge's
was well filled when Mrs Astor, clad
In pink gauze. with a mantle OF tur-
quoise blue. and leading a live peacock
by a gllded chain, swept into the room
She wore q classic crown OF, solid gold
carried long. gilded staff. and wore
sandals which showed her bare feet
Her progress down the room was
triumph, shared by the peacock, which
spread It's tail proudly and seemed
fully aware Of the attention he was
attracting.
Suddenly the bird became frighten-
cd at the lights or the noise. and tho
sensation of he evening began
Shrieking wildly. he broke away and
ran about the ROOM frightening the
women SO that several of them seemed
about to faint. Lord Falconer proved
himself a hero. Assisted by other. men
he captured the bird and inclosed
him In a stockade built OF gilt chairs.
The bird was quiet for a few minutes.
and Mrs. Astor went to dance while
Lord Falconer mounted guard.
Left alone, the peacock became lone
some. and despite Lord Falconer's at
tempts to restrain 1t. cIambered over
the chairs and started for tho dancing
space.
Tally Ho!" shouted some one. and
the hunt was up The bird ran among
the dancers and was kicked and
trampled upon until he was nearly
dead before some of the hunters grab
bed him. Then he was imprisoned in
al empty champagne case and carried
out He was turned over to a liv-
cried footman. who carried him hack
to the dealer in Soho from whom Mrs
Astor hired him. Mrs. Aston was very
much veSed by the birds behavior.
