BOCCLE UP LAWS
LAWMAKERS ARE BLAMED FOR
BuN0LiNG SEVERAL I'M.
PORTANT BILLS
roo MUCH RUSH A FINISH
Large Part of Lawmaking Done the
Last Two Days Of the Session
and Oversight and Err
o Crept In

Pierre-As interested parties begin
to dig into the laws enacted at the
last session, they are finding more of
the results of pushing overworked
clerk forces at the closing hours OF
the session to get out laws which
could just as well have been enacted
earlier in the session. But it is a
natural result of attempting to finish
up the work of half the session in two
days time.
One of the laws attempted was to
increase the salary of Superintendent
Mead of the insane asylum from 81, 500
to $4,000. The house passed the bill
at $4,000 and the senate increased it
to the higher figure. This resulted in
a conference committee which accept
ed the figure fixed by the senate. and
the report of the conferees was accept
ed by both house. But the law filed in
the Office of the secretary of state
only places the salary at $4,000.
A bill was introduced to provide for
the deficiency in transporting prison
ers to the penitentiary, the amount
asked being just what was shown to
be due by vouchers filed with the state
auditor, and at the same time SO, 900
was asked to meet such bills for the
future.
While that was the bill of which
the duplicate was SEN to the print
er, the one actually introduced as the
original only asked for $4,000 addi-
tional and is $1,000 short on the de-
ficiencies, and some sheriff in the state
who gets in late will have to wait two
years more for his deficiency and
there will be another deficiency to
care for in the same item when the
next session meets.
In providing for the salaries and
expenses of the judges of the newly
created eleventh and twelfth circuits
up to the first of July, an itemized
statement of the needs was made, but
the total appropriated does not equal
the itemized statement. and these
Judges will be short of the amount
which it was expected they would
have when the bill wos introduced.
In another case there was a differ
ence on the emergency" clause on a
bill between the two houses. The
conference committee reported that it
should be placed on the bill and both
houses accepted the report and both
law fled in the Office of the secre-
tary does not show any such append
age.
These are a few of the troubles out
side Of sending a bill to the governor
which never passed the senate, but
they are likely only starters as to
what will develop later.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T is just a year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as IL she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor. because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was a very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm.
provement
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used 1t. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing. she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes. and after a month there was no
longer any mucous or watering OF the
eyes. She could already see better.
and in six weeks she was cured"

hidden. He pointed out the location
OF the ship to his companion.
"You are sure there Is a small boat
waiting for you on the point?" asked
Neil.
Yes. since early morning"
Neil was absorbed In thought for
some time as he drove the canoe
through the tall rice grass that grew
thick along the edge of the shore.
How would II be II l landed you
on the point and met you tonight at
Obadiah's" he asked suddenly. TT
Is probable that after we get Marion

the island again, and 1t Is quite neces
sary that | run down the coast for a
couple Of miles-for-" He did not
finish his reason, but added: II can
make the whole distance in this rice
so there Is no danger Of being seen.
Or you might lie off the point yonder
and ! would join you early this eve
ming"
That would be a better plan II we
must separate" said Nathaniel, whose
voice betrayed the reluctance with
which he assented to the project. He
had guessed shrewdly at Neil's mo-
tive, rs 1t possible that we may have
another young lady passenger" he
asked banteringly.
There was no answering humor to
this In Neil's eyes.
Il wish we might" he said quietly.

'Oh-h-h!"

She was as pure as Winnsome Is

"She Is beautiful now"
but she is a mere child. Why, II
seems only a year ago that I was to-
ting her about on my shoulders! And

Nathaniel laughed softly.
Tomorrow she will be making love.

With q powerful stroke OF his pad

shore.

hands. II you should happen to

Winnsome-" he added. coloring.
The sudden grip Of his companions
fingers made him finch.
I'VE must!" said Nathaniel.
He climbed ashore and watched Neil
until he had disappeared In the wild
rice. Then he turned into the woods.
He looked at his watch and saw that
II was only 3 o'clock. He was con.
scious OF no fatigue: he was not con
scious OF hunger. To him the whole
world had suddenly opened with glo-
rious promise and In the still depths
Of the forest he felt like singing out
his rejoicing. He had never stopped
to ask himself what might be the end
Of this passion that had overwhelmed
him: he lived only In the present, in
the knowledge that Marion was not
. wife. and that it was he whom fate
had chosen for her deliverance. He
reasoned nothing beyond the sweet
eyes that had called upon him. that
had burned their gratitude. their hope
and their despair upon his soul; moth
ing beyond the thought that she would
500 be free from the mysterious In
fiuence Of the Mormon king and that
for days and nights after that she
would be on the same ship with him.
He had emptied the pockets of the
coat he had given Neil and now he
brought forth the old letter which
Obadiah had rescued from the sands.
He read It over and ore again as he
sat for . Few moments in the cool OF
the forest and there was no trouble
In his face now. IL was from q girl.
