THE NEW AFf|DAWTS
STATE OFFICERS WILL SPECIFY
INFINITELY ALL ITEMS OF
EXPENSE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital Ci.y, the Various
Stcte institutions n Dif.
ferent Parts of the
State.

Pierre.-Under the provisions OF
chapter 4 of the acts Of the last legis-
latlve session, the state auditors de-
partment is preparing a new form of
affidavits for the filing in case of ex-
pense 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 the capitol. The new form
is somewhat detailed, and requires
specific statements as to what hotels
were stopped at and the amount paid
at each: what towns were visited, and
the amount of mileage used or money
paid for the transportation to the
places visited, and further that the
travel and hotel expense was eXclu-
sively on state business, and what par
ticular business was transacted, the
term Official business" not covering

For Physical Test.

Sioux Falls.-Physicians' certificates
showing that applicants for marriage
licenses are free from certain diseases
that tend to break down the future
generations will be required in South
Dakota in future, if the members of
the South Dakota State Homeopathic
and Eclectic societies, which have
just concluded their annual conven-
tons in Sioux Falls, have their way
about it.
During their annual conventions
they declared themselves in favor of a
law requiring this, and pledged the
members of the two societies to do
all within their power to induce the
next legislature to enact a law max
ing this requirement for those who
apply for marriage licenses anywhere
in South Dakota.
This action followed an extended
discussion as to what could be done to
prevent the marriage of people phys
lcaliy unfit to enter the married state,
and as a result of the discussion it
was decided that a law requiring APP
plicants for marriage licenses to pass
a certain physical examination at the
hands of a physician was of the ut
most need and Importance.

eight rattles and a button.
Scarcely had the children been seat

screaming up a hill. the snake in pur-
suit. Help arrived and the snake
