DANCE HEREAFTER WILL
BE SUBJECT TO CENSOR

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 7.-Friendly COM
ment and u%nfriendly ridicule failed to
beat down the Qualifications Of the
bunny hug bill. and the Measure
| passed the house Wednesday after
noon by a vote of 10 to 30 Several
amendments were presented and de-
| clared lost on viva voice vote, in which
sill members voted both rays. Some
of the offerings got SO raw in nature
that the period of recreation was
brought to halt on a motion for the
previous question.
The bill mentions several of the pop
ular numbers which are under the ban
in some cities, and extends the provi-
sion to a prohibition against all sug-
gestive and immoral dances. The gen
eral belief is hat the measure will pass
the senate without much opposition.
Second Finished Work.
The first legislative enactment to
acquire the dignity of a completed law
aside from the woman suffrage resolu-
ton is senate bill number 81 introduced
by Amsden. This Measure is an i'm
portant one in relation to the saloon
question of the state as it practically
prevents any figures except those of
the federal census to apply On the
question Of population in any city.
Attorney General johnson has been
asked for an opinion as to whether the
laws Of the state prohibiting combina-
tions among bidders on state work can
be invoked with reference to the print
ing situation. He contends that the
meaning Of the statute is very plain
and that if a combination could be
proven the penalty clause would apply.

Pierre. S. D., Feb. 11.-A fire each
night for three succeeding evenings at
about the same hour, each one starting
in a cry mysterious manner leads TO
the belief that in~cendiaries have been
at work. Several evenings ago a hay
stack burned to the ground; the next
night the Grand Pacific hotel and ad-
jacent saloon apartments went up, and
the next night the alarm was given
and w Frame dwellings. situated
about two blocks from the Grand Pa
cific fire, burned to the ground. They
We're unoccupied and contained some
stored articles of machinery and fur
niture. The blaze, starting from the
bottom of the building, left no means
of discovering the cause. About two
hours later another small building was
found on fire, but in this instance the
building was at least half a block from
those previously destroyed, and the fire
started on the ground on the opposite
side of the structure, might have been
set by sparks of the earlier fire. 1t is
reported that two men were seen COM
ing from the buildings last destroyed
about an hour before thn alarm.

Surprised while in the act of rob-

two thieves made a break for liberty
and though made targets for several
shots from Officer John Strives re-
volver, succeeded in escaping. 1t was
about 1870 this morning that the Of
ficer, travelling his beat, heard a
sound in the baggage room. Going to
investigate he was heard by the
crooks, who leaped out of the room
as he approached and dashed west
down the track. The officer ordered
them to halt, but they separated and
kept on. Several shots sent in their
direction apparently failed to take eff
feet. Struve kept up the chase as
far as he could see his quarry and
then gave up and went back to the
baggage room. He found that the pail
had opened number of packages and
had about $100 worth of merchandise
packed ready to carry away. Appar

Four consecutive years of instruc-
ton in domestic science should be
given high school girls in the public
schools, in the opinion of Mrs. Kate NJ.
Gleason, domestic science instructor
in the Moline schools as expressed in
her annual report. The trouble with
the present plan of instruction lies in
the time which elapses between the
close of the course and the compile
tion of the work in the public schools.
pupil graduates, under the present
arrangement, three years after the
last work in domestic science has been
done, so that much is forgotten and
the important points taught are lost
because of inability to Immediately
put them into practice in the home.
Domestic science has been taught
in the schools. of the city fer IA years
and the work has gradually expanded
till now there are four teachers. Girls
begin receiving instruction in cooking
and sewing in the sixth grade. and il
is continued through the seventh and
eighth and the first year in high school
Last year, for the first time, the work
was taken up with girls of the sopno

WAIVE INTEREST

Will Back Inter County

SAY $4,000 is READY NOW
Offer Made Known at Smoker GiVer
by East Moline Commercial
Club to Boost Project.

So deeply in earnest are the people
of Moline, East Moline and vicinity
in their desire for a bridge across
Rock river at Colona that seven banks,
five in Moline and two in East Moline,
stand ready to loan the county $4,000
to pay its share of the expenses. No
interest will be charged, the only stip-
ulation demanded being that the notes
issued shall take precedence over any
liabilities the county may contract
after the present Indebtedness is paid.
This announcement. made by George
w Ross of East Moline, came as the
climax to the smoker given last even
ing by the East Moline Commercial
club for members of the boards of
supervisors of Rock Island and Hen
ry counties and others interested, and
aroused great enthusiasm. There
were 400 present.
Practically all the speakers were
strongly in favor of immediate con
struction of the bridge. Chairman

argument was that this county having

has not been the fault of the Rocl

has not been built He said he aI
preciated the difficulties under whicl
the board had labored, but that in hi

evening, returned a verdict of sui
eide by hanging" The man had been
drinking heavily of late and this may
have had something to do with his
despondency.

supposed, for his work at Deere & Co,

He did not report at the blacksmith
department, where he was employed
but instead visited saloons. Then he
