Dakota railroad commission, in a
hearing held here today place them
selves on record in favor OF a reduct-

seems to be at hand.
The governor will suggest that the
legislature select five or seven mem
bers, who will take up the question OF
investigating the conditions and com
plants.
The difficulty arose over the dis
charging Of certain inmates from the
home on the charge Of their being I'M
ruly or disorderIy. Some of them e
came public charges of Hot SPRINGS
and most Of them gained the sym
patty of the community to the extcnt
that the now famous night letter
was sent by the officials OF Hot
Springs to Governor Vessey, early in
December. 1t Is expected that the
contemplated action Of the governor
will be q solution OF the problem aid

CASE AT SCHNASSE COUNTY.
A delegation from SChnasse county

relief from a peculiar condition. which
has resulted from an act Of the last
sess'Tn. When Corson county was
created out Of Borman and the no tn
ern part Of SChnasse. but twenty-five
townships were left in the la't0r. The
constitution OF the state REQUIRES a
county to have twentv-four townships
before II can ~organi7e. Walworth
crunty has jurisdiction in Schna7se
police matters, but as Selby is 1?5
miles distant. the condition Is
ptraSsing. S"hnasse has seven or
eight hundred homest"aders-the o W
of Dupree having over two hund"ed
inhabitants. The people ask relief
by combining S"hRasse with the west
end Of Armstrong county.
