WORKING POLITICS
Legislators Jockeying for Ad-
vantage at Future Elec-
tons in South
Dakota

Pierre, Feb. 21.-As the democrats
are working for political capital in
this state, as well as for party advan.
tsge, they will try to establish Il
claim that the republican Legislature
refused to give relief to the muddled
situation created by the Richards law
and that the responsibility was thrown
on the democrats of going direct to the
people with a corrective measure.
One of the radical changes involved
in the Morgan bill. as compared to the
former primary law. is that all of che
party tickets are printed on n large
ballot. this plan eliminating the
necessity of a party declaration by
the voter at the time of appearing to
cast a primary ballot. AS a method
of compelling all voters to adhere to
one party ticket, it is provided in the
law that any ballots which contain
markings under more than n party
designation shall be designated and
classed as spoiled" and thrown out
in the county,
In view of the apparent growth of
the habit of initiating laws, there is a
feeling that some safeguard system
should be- established to ''doctor the
legal and general features of such
measures before they are established
and placed among the statutory regula-
tions of the state. No one has yet been
allie to suggest a very feasible plan as
10 how this might be accomplished
without interfering with the inherent
rights" of the initiative principle.
That there is a disposition to put on
the brakes to some extent was evidenced
by tue senate's adoption of the Murphy
bill, which requires an individual
affidavit with each signature TO an
initiative or referendum petition, the
signer being required to make oath
that he is familiar with the general
nature of the law which he is helping
to initiate or refer. On first attempt
the Murphy bill failed to get a major
ity vote, as a number of the senators
were absent, but it was brought up
Tuesday afternoon on a reconsidera-
tion and passed by a very narrow

SALOON BUSINESS
Causes Warm Debate in the
House -Tinkering Elec-
ton Laws

Pierre, Feb. 21.-The one to a thous
and saloon bill caused a lot of strife
on the floor of the house this afternoon,
resulting in Speaker Tscharner taking
the floor on a motion to postpone &C
ton until Friday to investigate the
conflicting statements as to the real
number Of saloons in the state and the
effect on numbers which the bill
would have on the different bases OF
population. This brought him iuto a
direct tiff with Withee. who declared
he did not know the representa- W
of the brewing interests, nor did he
want his acquaintance. After the
mixup, which took in the speaker and
a number of members, the bill went
over till Friday, and Speaker Tschainer
and Bielski and Ruckman were ap-
pointed a committee by the house tenn
perance committee to investigate the
allegations.
The senate killed the house dill to
prevent payment for securing names
on referendum petitions; adopted the
minority report fsvoring the enactment
of the Hall bank guaranty law, and
passed the Anderson house resolution
asking for an investigation of all
state departments. boards and instru.
ments in regard to increased expendi.
lures for the past eight years. The
committee is to be given ten DAYS
in which to carry out its investiga-
tions and make its report. which was
fixed TO get a report before the end
OF the session instead of allowing snch
action to drag indefinitely and finally
be flung into the next campaign.
The house placed this state in line
on direct elections of United States
senator's. when this afternoon it adopt
ed the senate res SOLUTION c~oncurring in
the policy of such of selection.
The Bartine bill relating to property
succession has passed both houses. One
feature OF the enactment is that the
surviving husband or wife, where there
is no issue. becomes sole heir up to
the extent of s5. 900. Instead of hold
ing merely a half interest, as under
The present law. Another new ele-
ment Is that of placing the mother
on the same basis as the father in

BEAR ANTICS
Tame Bruin Loses Its Life After
Injuring a Little Girl

Rapid City. Feb 21.-Half the popu
lation of the city gathered heal the
Harvey hotel to witness the execution
of Frank L%ockhart's big brown bear.
One shot from the revolver of Chief Of
Police Burd dispatched the animal
which an hour before had frightfully
mutilated the face of a 5-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. War.
rem, guests at the hotel.
1t had been the custom for Mrs
Warren and her little daughter tc
| visit the bear den, located in an omen
lot near the hotel, and feed the animal
candy each afternoon. Monday the
customary visit was made, the child
holding in her hand a bag of candy.
When the bear spied the candy he
made a rush for it and instead of seiz.
ing the bag with its paw, struck the
girl with force enough to cut a gssh
two inches long On her scalp and badly
lacerate her face. Her screams and
those of her mother attracted a crowd,
which soon became indignant when
the child, covesed with blood and iu a
dead faint, was borne to the Warren's
apartments in the hotel.
Several men started for their Win
chesters and others drew revolyers with
which to kill the animal. Chief of
Police Burd came up and without a
word drew his gun and sent a bullet
into the brain of the bear.
The bear has caused trouble and
amusement for the last three wears
when be was sent to Frank Lockhsrt
by a friend in Wyoming. The bear
was then a cub about as big as .
good sized cat. As he grew he had
all the tricks incident to hear baby
hood and young bearbood. His master
taught him to dance to music and
wrestle and box with all corners. He
liked fiuit and one day swiped a brand
new bonnet off the head o. a ranch
mans wife because the decorations
were such perfect limitations of cherries.
This cost Lockhsrt $50.
On the night of election in November
the bear climbed a pole. broke the
telegraph wires running into the hotel
and interrupted election returns being
received there.
Again he tackled the French chef
at the hotel for a boxing bout, and
scared him so badly that he quit the
hotel ON a dead run and has not been
y siuce.
1t was one of mis- pastimes to work
himself free, find the ice Cream and
devour it before the guests had been
A COW puncher, more or less 9
