TIDAL WAVE IN PHILIPPINES
Score of Natives Perish in Flood Fol-
lowing Volcanic Eruption.

Manila, Jan. 31.-Twenty persons,
all natives. lost their lives in the tidal
wave which followed the eruption of
the volcano Taal, according to press
adyices received here.
All the towns within a radius of full
ly twenty miles have suffered damage
from the rain of mud and stones,
which still continues. The natives in
all directions are abandoning their
villages and fleeing to the hills in ter
ror.
The eruptions continue. The sky is
cloudless and there is no wind, but
the muddy rain falls steadily. The ma
tives have abandoned their village
homes in the vicinity of Lake Taal
and sought refuge in the surrounding
hills.

The IONS of the late Chauncey Wood
and his wife are ~quarrelling over the
place of ~sspulcher of his body. The
sons naturally desire the remains to be
inferred under South Dakota skies, his
bones to rest in South Dakota soil. His
wife opposes this and wishes the burial
to take place elsewhere. The wishes
OF the son undoubtedly represent the
desires of the father, but it is a matter
not worthy of a quarrel. Let his body
rest where it will; his memory will live
in the hearts of his South Dakota friends
long after the mortal body has become
dust. Pierre Dakotan.

One Of South Dakota's Legislators,
who is evidently imbued with an over
mastering desire to distinguish himself,
has introduced an electric headlight
bill-a duplicate of the bill which was
referred TO the voters at the last cleo
ton and went down in an overwhelm-
ing defeat. The will of the voters
should be respected. and we trust the
legislature will kill the bill, and not
force the state to the heavy expense OF
having it again submitted under the
referendum.

A bill has been introduced in the
lower house ~forbidding the introduction
Of bills which have been defeated wher
submitted to the voters under the ref
endum until q certain time has elapsed.
The idea is an excellentone. The aver'
age South Dakota voter is heartily sick
of going to the polls at every general
election and being confronted with that
fossilized list Of referred laws for which
he thought he acted Al ~pall-bearer two
years previous and had seen them
peacefully tucked away for good. A
law prohibiting the ressurrecting Of
these ghosts at every legislative ses
sion win be greatly appreciated by the
voters Of the state.

 This enforced Imprisonment of Jack Johnson in the Frisco county iail is the final effort of the courts to make the heavyweight champion re- spect the speed laws of California.

 He takes his own troubles with as much good grace as if they had been piled upon his worst enemy.
