Bills Passed by Both Houses
Ready for the Governor

Pierre, Feb. THE house passed
house bills 2O6, fixing sherif's fees in
cases of pleas of guilty before judge
not in regular term of court; 19t, fix
ing salaries of county commissioners
in large counties; go, authorizing

tion of independent school distii let of
Rockham, Faux county.
House passed senate bill 4, appropri-
sting S., 200 for completion of and
furnishing hospital at feeble minded
school at Redheld.
The secretary of the State Bankers
association is here 10 opposition to the
bill. which has passed the senate. aud
is a special order in the house this
afternoon. The opposition has no hope
of defeating the bill, but does hope to
keep the vote down to one-third to
allow them to hold it up through the
referendum. The fight promises to be
warm on the floor of the house.
In the elimination bills which have
so far beer introduced in this session,
most of which show indications of
being enacted, the net reduction in
appointive state places shows the
cutting out of twenty two appointive
places. Of course some of the CONSOLE
dation bills poyide for ''new boards
but these are eliminated in the calcu-
l%ations, being charged against the
gros reduction, and the places which
will be left out are net at that amount.
The bill for a state travelling library
commission which has passed the senate
will be before the house within a few
days, and is attracting considerable
attention on the part of Librarians
and educators generally, as this state
has 10 such method of distributing
books to the smaller communities which
cannot afford a general library. the
bill has for its purpose the forming of
lists Of books suitable for library refer
ence work and the better classes of ic-
tion, to be shipped fIom place to place
under care of some one who will be re-
sponsible for the books, and to keep
them shifting from one point to an
other to allow the largest possible
access to them on the part of those
who care to ~pratonize such libraries.
After this week Senator Hoese will
he the presiding officer of the senate as
Lieutenant Governor Abel will leave
for Florida with his wife. whose health
has been poor all this winter. and she
will be taken south to try a change 10
climate. Mr.. Abel will remain with
her, and does not expect to get back
before the close of the session as be
will not leave Mrs. Abel alone in the
south.

DIR. Murdy advocates the same care
full attention to breeding the human
race that stock growers show in breed
ing cattle and horses = the breeding of
the ut and the elimination of the on
tit. This can best be accomplished by
vasectimony in the males and dis
section in the females, o simple oper-
alton that does not destroy any fupc-
ti0n in either sex outside of the pro-
duction of children, among persons
whose mental OF physical ailments
are such as TO warrant them being
unfit for propsgating their kind.
Health certificates prior to marriage
are the first steps necessary in the
advance of education along this line.
The Social Science club took ur DR..

Muray a com nittee to draft suitable
legislation to be presented at this term
of the legislature.

WHIPPED N PUBLIC
FOR BEATING WIFE
Montgomery County Man Is
FIogged By Sheriff in Jail
Yard at Rockville.

ROCKVILLE, Md, Feb. '1S.-The
first legal whipping to take place in
Montgomery county for wife beating
was administered here yesterday aft
ernoon. The victim was Wilson Clag-
EFT, colored, who was convicted in
the police court here a few days ago
of assaulting his wife in their home
near Rockville, and the ashes, which
were ten in number and vigorous in
kind, were applied by Sheriff Clifard
L. Howard. A rawhide Of stout pro-
portions was used.
The whipping took place in the jail
gard, as required by law, and was
witnessed by probably twenty per-
sons. Clagetts feet were chained to
hands, which were bound. were
raised above his head by a rope tied
to an iron bar above the platform.
The negro had no clothing on his
back except a thin undershirt.
Stands Punishment Well.
Clagett stood the punishment well,
although toward the last. when the
sheriff was going at top speed. he
emitted several grunts and showed
other signs Of distress. An examina
ton by DR.. Edward Anderson showed
several whelts across the back.
Immediately after the chastisement.
Clayett was released. He was told by
Sheriff Howard that he had been leni-
emily dealt with and warned him that
the next time he would be given hard
er beating. Clagett declared that the
punishment inflicted had been sufficient
to cure him for all time Of the slightest
desire to strike his wife.
Has Been Warned.
Claget. was convicted before Judge
Arthur NJ. Mace in the police court
here. A short time ago Judge Mace had
given warning that all persons convic-
ted before him of beating their wives
would be sentenced to the whipping
post, and the flogging given Clagett
