The bill providing for a change In

mission governed cities of the state
and providing also for a special cleo
ton to decide upon that change, is
optional with the cities Of the state
and they can expend the money neces-
sary for conducting such an election
if they see fit.
The bill providing for the leasing
of school lands, dealt also with the
question Of the investment of the sink
ing fund of the county also. 1t also
permits the investment Of sinking
funds in warrants Of the school dis
trict, provided, when so invested, it

ers' liability law was re-enacted. 1t
had been declared unconstitutional
by the federal court of appeals, but
it has now been reenacted to conform
to and follow the federal law.
The headlight law was re-enacted
with the same provisions as it formerly
had, and with 60 days given as the
time when it shall be complied with
by the railroads.
Gemmill's caboose law, which was
enacted, requires uniformity in ca
booses, as to size and equipment ano
prohibits the use of box cars as ca
bosses, on railroads in this state.
The legislature created an immi-
grafton or publicity department for
the state and appropriated $40 for
the maintenance Of that department
for two years.
The new bridge law provides that
county commissioners must advertise
for bids for every bridge which 1t
is desired to erect in any county in
the state, which will prohibit the
awarding of a contract for all bridge
work by the year or a period of years
to one bridge company.
The new law as to the placing OF
the names of candidates for office upon
the ballots was changed so that the
law determines the location and the
name of each candidate appears in
first place, in his respective division,
upon an equal number of tickets.
I think that after the people of the
state have seen the new laws in opera
ton. they will feel that the legislature
did its best with all the important
questions which came before it."

Adjutant General EngIesby Announces
List of Twenty Members of
Guard For Service on
Mexican Line

Pierre-In the last days of the leg
Slative session Prof. Hansen OF
Brookings came out and endeavored
to secure a liberal appropriations for
experimentation in hardy alfalfas, but
at that time matters had become so
involved that it was not possible to
get attention for such measures.
However, $1,000 a year vas put in the
appropriation bill for the purpose,
which will enable some progress to be
made. 1t is said hat the Siberian
variety secured near the north frigid
zone is producing splendidly in the
trials being made with it, but is Bit
ter to the taste and is not relished by
stock. Prof. Hansen is now e~ndeavor-
ing to breed out this bitterness.
At the same time the experiment
station is giving much attention to
an effort to render the common sweet
clover palatable as a forage plant, and
the outlook for success is hopeful.
Perhaps no other plant, the buffalo
grass excepted, is so hardy as the
sweet clover so far as wi~thstanding
drouth and cold is concerned. 1t
grows luxuriantly in the subhumid
sections in the dryest years, and If it
can be subdued and tanned into a sue
cessful forage plant one of the prob
lens Of Western Dakota will be set

Investigating Phone Rates

Aberdeen-The South Dakota state
railroad commissioners are holding
sessions at the court house here,
| n relation to telephone rates in
the state. The Dakota Central Tele-
phone company wants to raise rates
in a number of towns Of the state
where the company has gone to con-
siderable expense installing expen-
sive up-to-date apparatus. and the
hearing is held to decide whether 1t
shall be permitted to make the in
crease. Among the places affected
are Mellette, where the charge for
telephones per month is now 81, and
the company wants to make the rate
81 and 81; Waubay. Summit, Tyndall
and a number of other towns are sim
ilarly interested. In most instances
an automatic switchboard has been
installed and additional connections
made, which the corporation claims
justifies the increased rates.

cars while the train was under way,
rather than have tons of the stun
dumped into distributing postofices
there to be delayed In rehandling, a
route agent who had charge of getting
the mail into the upper peninsula of
Michigan discovered a nest of mice
and their mother in a mail sack. The
agent boxed up the little creatures and
sent them to Mr.. Armstrong. who at
once hit on the plan of using the Incl
dent to bring his railway mail service
scheme to a head. He wrote a letter
to the postmaster general reciting the
incident of the mice In the mails and
asked ~pertinently whether, IL the mails
were SO slow that a mouse that got in
a sack at Green Bay had time to bring
forth a family before she reached Han
cock, 1t was now time to do something
toward expediting the said mails. No
one is able to say just exactly what in
fluence this odd letter had, but sure it
was that the story got to the con-
gressmen and senators who were dis
cussing the feasibility of allowing
Armstrong to make a trial. 1t is a
matter of history that shortly after
that, on August %, 1864, the first
trial of the distribution of mail in a
car was made on a train running from
Chicago to Clinton. Iowa"

Pierre-When the Potter county
authorities succeeded in sending Mrs.
Hendricks and her o to Yank-
ton, as insane, they thought they
had gotten rid of a couple of "unde-
sirable citizens" but after a short stay
at the asylum they were returned to

After keeping them in the town
Jail for a few days where they would
have a warm place to stay, and were
fed, they finally agreed to hit the
pike" If enough inducement were held
out, and they were presented with

ed up for them and hitched to their
crazy old wagons, and they started
for the east alleging that they were
heading for Redfield. They promised
not to return to Potter county again.

"But If the private only knew tho

be put in the gyard-house for that?"

COURT DATES CHANGED
New Law Brings Several Changes ! n
Counties of Ninth District

Counties of Ninth District
1roquois-It is not generally knowD
that the recent legislature passed
a bill, to which an emergency
clause was attached materially chang
ing the dates fof terms of court
in the several counties forming the
ninth judicial district. The law
was signed by Governor Vessey, and
therefore now is in effect. One of
the most important changes made by
the new law is the giving of three
terms of court each year to the large
and populous counties of Sphinx and
Beadle, which heretofore have had
but two terms of our per year, the
same as the other counties of the cir
cult, with the result that the holding
of long semi-annual terms in Beadle
and Sphinx, which adjoin. has caused
a conflict in time and the fall terms
invariably nave reached into the
holiday season. The new law is de-
signed to relieve this congested con-
dition in the two counties. The new
law fixed terms of court in the cir
cult as follows: Beadle county, on
the first Tuesday in January, first
Tuesday in May, and first Tuesday
in October; Sphinx, first Tuesday in
February: first Tuesday in June, first
Tuesday in June, first Tuesday In
November; Kingsbury county, third
Tuesday in April and first Tuesday in
December: Miner county, third Tues
day in March and the last Tuesday
in September.

Pierre-The different railway COM
panies which are operating In the
western part of the state decline
to accept the new freight sched-
ules which were prepared by the state
railway commission after hearing
complaints from shippers as to heavy
charges. The roads have served notice
upon the commission that they will
ask the United States court to enjoin
the putting into effect of the rates
provided, and will ask a temporary
Injunction at Sioux Falls. This will
mean another long drawn out suit
over the situation, and the people
will have to await the outcome.
