MANY OFFICES IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
.Delve Into Constitution and
Discover New Rights and
Privileges Undenied.

Pierr~. s. D.. Feb, S.-Women OF the
state, who afe advocates Of the equal
suffrage. have been delving into tho
constitution of the state and say they
have found that while they cannot vote
they can under the constitution legally
hold any of the elective state or county
offices, except those Of governor, lieu
tenant governor, judges Of the supreme
rourt and legislative positions. They
base this contention primarily on sec
ton 9 of article Z of the constitution.
which reads:
ANY woman haTing the qualihca-
lions enumerated in section !, of this
article, as to age. residence and citizen
ship, and including those now qualified
by the laws of the territory, may vote
ut any election held solely for school
purposes and may hold any office in
This state, except as otherwise provided
IN the constitution"
With this as a start, they say that
they are in a position to push their
claims as a woman's party and can
make gains which will give them a
leverage for pushing equal suffrage.

DAYLIGHT SALOON
BILL IS THE ISSUE
Senate May Pass It Without the
Emergency Clause
Attached.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 7-There is a
slight lull noticeable in the legislature,
pending the final rush, which is ex-
pected by everyone to start soon with
@ steady grind 10 complete the bust
ness before the two houses. A meeting
Of officers of the state militia was held
here Saturday. attended by a number
OF captains or companies, Colonel FROST
ard Adjutant General Englesby, at
which meeting the recommendations
for appropriations were taken up and
decided upon.
There is much representation con-
corning the probable action of the sem
ate on the daylight saloon bill, n
the contest among the senators seems
Ia be on the emergency clause, which
aas much to do with deciding whether
or not the bill will ever become a law,
ff it passes without the emergency
clause it will undoubtedly be referred!
The house passed the following bills:
Senate Dill No. n, a bin for an act
10 appropriate money for deficiency in
maintenance of the state house.
The senate passed r following
bills:
Senate bill No. 35. a bill for an act
to prevent the spread of quack grass
and Canadian thistles or any variety of

DAKOTA NAN WINS
BRIDE BY WRITING
HIS NAME ON EGG
Wealthy Brooklyn Girl Re-
spends to an Idle Thought
and Marriage Results.

Mitchell, S. D.. Feb. 7.-Getting a
bride. and a wealthy one at that.
through the fundamentally of a hens
egg, is the experience of Edward Tay-
lor, a young man residing at Alexan-
dria, and whose marriage has just
taken place at Brooklyn, N. Y.
The courtship has been of a romantic
character and started nearly two years
ago. AT that time Taylor was employed
I'm a grocery store at Alexandria, and
one day he was packing Il case of eggs
for eastern shipment. Thoughtlessly,
and without considering that anything
would ever come OF it, he wrote his
name and address on one of the eggs.
A month rolled by and one day he re-
ceiyed a letter from Miss Margaret
Graynor, of Brooklyn, N. Y, stating
she had found that particular egg,
and a correspondence sprang up be-
tween the young people. Photographs
were exchanged and the little affair.
started so innocently by the egg, grew
to more important proportions.
Young Taylor took a trip down to
Brooklyn and remained a couple Of
sweeks, during which time the bond OF
weeks ago Taylor went to Brooklyn and
became engaged to the girl, and then
married her a few days ago. Her,
father is a man Of wealth., n the egg
that Taylor sent on it's Journey with his
name proved to be quite q nest egg,
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor will spend the
rest of the winter in Brooklyn ana
return to Alexandria in the spring.

INDIANS IN COUNCIL
CLAIM BLACK HILLS
Don't Expect the Land but
Look to Government for
"Wampum."

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 9.-An Indian
council is being held near Cherry
creek, on Cheyenne river, and is being
attended by Indians from practically
ali the different Sioux reservations in
the northwest, The Indians say they
never relinquished their title to the
Black Hills, but allowed the govern
ment to take it under lease, and that
they have a title interest in that whole
section. with it's many mines and
ranches and thriving towns.
The representatives come from the
Cheyenne River, Standing Rock, PM
Ridge, Rosebud and Lower Brule reser-
vations in the Dakotas; Santee, in Ne
braska, and Tongue river in Montana
They are holding a business session,
and there is no 'pow-wow" about 1t,
the gathering being of the most pro-
gressive Of the tribe.
They have no idea OF ever being
again put in possession of the Black
Hills, but they think they can estab-
ish their claim and that the govern
ment will be compelled to pay them
Tor the territory.
The delegates went to the gather
ing place by train n auto, and there
was no old-time Indian ceremonial
IN their acts, but a getting together
IN a business proposition by business
men who believe they have a valuable
asset

INCORPORATION LAW
PLACED UNDER BAN
BY SENATOR NORBECK
Seeks TO Bar AL Foreign Cor
porations From Obtaining
State Authority.

Pierre. s. D., Feb. 9.-Senator Nor
beck, OF Sphinx, has introduced a Dill
In the senate which plays havoc with
the incorporation business, which Is
the source OF a few thousands or dol
lars annual revenue for the state IN
incorporation fees. His bill. No. Ito.
amends the incorporation laws, by re-
curing that all of the directors or Of
icers of interpretations under South
Dakota laws, shall be residents of TINS
state, and that at least one-half OF
the capital stock nausd in the papers
shall be held by the directors, n the
amounts held be set opposite the
names. This bin. If passed, VIII put a
damper on Incorporating under South
Dakota laws, and will deprive the state
of an income of about $4,000
Another provision of the bill is that
the main office for the transaction Of
business must be within the state al,
though branch offices may be located
elsewhere.
The soldiers home investigation
committee this afternoon presented
bills in both houses looking to a COM
plete change in the manner or
Ing that institution, the bills providing
for a board Of control OF three, with
a SUPERINTENDENT, none OF whom need
be old soldiers. This is q radical
change from present methods. which
require the board TO be all old soldiers
and the commandant TO also be in the
same class.
The report OF the temperance com.
mittee OF the senate on the daylight
saloon bill was adopted yesterday aft
ernocn by a vote OF 80 to IA. The pass
age of the bill seems u and the
~two-thirds vote given the bill yester-
day, If repeated, will allow the valid
,ty of the emergency clause.
The marriage bin in the house this
afternoon went down TO defeat by &
large majority, when II vas found that
under it's provisions every young wom-
an In the state, as well as man, must
be examined for venereal diseases, and
secure a physicians certificate TO that
effect before a marriage license could
ne issued.
House bin No. 249, introduced by the
members OF the investigating commit
tee for the soldiers home, calls for a
board OF control of the soldiers home
composed of three members, who h
aot be old soldiers.
The historical fact of the discovery
OF gold in the Black Hills was brought
before the house today by a bill to
appropriate $1,000, 900 for the con-
struction OF a monument to Horatio
Nelson Ross, the d~iscoyerer.
A committee was appointed consist
Ing of members of both houses to form
plans for the exercises which will be
held probably in the hall of the house
IN Lincoln's birthday.

Of Grant county, or the old timers
thereof, take more than ordinary inter
est in the forthcoming marriage Of
Lord DecieS and Miss Vivian Gould.
They feel acquainted with the family,
so to speak. Lord Deceis' full name,

In Grant county a few years ago, with

Of all work, an Englishman, Of middle
age, whose names was John Arthur
Trevor Beresford. He had been in the
British navy; had travelled extensively,
and was a man Of culture, although a
farm hand. He used to receive regular
remittances from England, and in one
Instance, at least, he received a very
large sum from across the waters. He
refused to say anything about his fam
ily connections when sober. but oc-
c~asionally when in his cups. intimated
that he belonged to an illustrious family
In Great Britain. He disappeared from
Grant county, but no one knows where
he went, but old time Grant county

STATE ENGINEER
LEA UNDER FIRE
Accused of Turning Contracts
Over to Firm Where Interest
Is Friendly.

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. S.-According 70
a news story In the Aberdeen Daily
News the civil engineers of the state
with very few exceptions. are at outs
with State Engineer Samuel H, Lea,
and If Lea is to continue in his present
position they will welcome the success
full termination of the present agitation
TO abolish the Office of state engineer.
According to the article, most of the
state engineers feel very disgruntled at
Lea's methods of conducting the office,
and claim that he has lost no oppor-j
tunlty to throw contracts to an engi-
neering firm in which he has at least
a friendly interest; that he has solicit
ed private work while engaged in his
official duties, while claiming that his
department vas overworked, and ask
ing for larger appropriations for it on
that ground. They also complain be-
cause the state engineer, while draw
ing his regular salary as that official,
also drew S~1,S22.50, between August 5,
1903, and juno 2, 1903, for services as
superintendent OF construction of the
new state capitol.
Another cause CT complaint Is the
fact that although the South Dakota
CIVIL Engineers association has been
organized but two years, and State En-
gineer Lea gave 1t cordial endorsement
at the time of the organization, within
the past few weeks a new organization.
having apparently the same purpose
as the older. has come into existence,
with the membership made up of the
state engineer and his close associates
in that line of work, In apparent rivalry
TO the older society. There are less
than so civil engineers In the state, and
the opponents OF the state engineer
claim the organization of the new So
ciety is an effort to disrupt the other
organization and place the control OF
the engineering association of the state
In the hands of Mr.. Lea.
