Pierre dispatch: When the bill was
introduced several days ago to pro-
hibit grizzly bear and kindred
dances, it was referred to the commit
tee on public health, and the mem
beIs of that committee all plead ig-
norance of what such dances could or
might do toward affecting public
health, and a number of the members
are asking that they be given practical
demonstrations of the offending dances
before they make any recommendation
as to the fate of the bill.
The ninth annual ball of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainment, at Hunte-
mer hall last night, maintained it's
reputation of being the big social event
of the season. About 1875 couples were
in attendance. and the affair was one
of the best of the series. Music by the
Ruby orchestra was fine, and the dane
ing was continued until $3.50 this
morning. The railroad boys can al
ways depend on a company of pleased
guests at their annual social event.

Olaf college, of Mortified, Mimi, ap-
peared at the Central Presbyterian

organization capable of fine shadiugs
of musical Interpretation. The large

high character of the program rer-
dered by applauding vigorously each

Chicago Examiner: Mans inhuman-
ity to mar is exceeded only by mans
i~uhumanity to animals and birds
whenever a question Of gain enters.
A traveller recently back from the
Hawaiian Islands relates to the Ma
tional Association of Audubon societies
a few methods employed by the Japan
ese bird p~oachers. Tens of thousands
of a~lbatrosses collect each year in the
Layson Island, now a United States
bird reservation. These birds feast
and grow SO fat that they can be easily
caught. The ~Japanese get them 10
this state, imprisou them in dry els
terms and leave them there to die.
BY that time the fat has disappeared,
they are more readily skinned and
the feathers are more salable. And,
of course, the feathers are used for
women's hats. If these same women
could see a few moving pictures of
the cruel acts here described it is safe
TO say that the majority would never
wear a feather procured in such Il
fashion.
