EXISTINGlOVER INTERSTATE
CATTLE SHIPPING.

To lengthen the time in which cat.
tie can be shipped into the state, of.
ter receiving the test for tuberculosis
from 80 to 80 days, and to provide
measures whereby al graduate veter,
inaries may. upon application, be-
come state deputies for the inspec.
;tipn of live stock were some OF, the
changes proposed by the legislative
committee of the Improved Live
Stock and Poultry Breeders, associa,
ton Of South Dakota. in a meeting at
the the Widman1 hotel Tuesday after
Other changes relating to the prac-
Ece Of veterinary medicine and test.
Ing for interstate shipments. were
also made by. the committee.
1t has heen with much expense and
considerable troubel that the stock
men of the state have eben able to
ship their stock. owing to the exist
ing laws. A man would be required
to have his stock tested within a
period OF thirty days before ship
ping. and in the making Of many
shipments, the expense of securing
an inspector is considerable.
It was believed by those present
Tuesday that the passage OF. a law
frightening the time of inspection
would greatly help in getting the
states adjoining South Dakota to
adopt similar measures.
The bill will be presented to the
.attorney-generai to be. drafted, and
put before the next session of the
legislature.

Washington, D. C.-The Hobson
resolution to submit a constitutional
amendment for national prohibition
to the state legislatures was defeat
ed in the House last night, 1877
members voting for and 189 against
it. An affirmative vote of two
thirds was required to adopt the
resolution.
Immediately after the announce
ment of the vote, the house adjourn
ed, the crowds which had packed
the galleries throughout the pro-
longed debate dispensing with ming
led expression of regret and jublia-
ton.
Party lines were wiped out in
the struggle. Democratic Leader
Underwood and Republican Leader
Mann fought shoulder to shoulder
at the head Of the forces opposing
the resolution, and when the vote
came of the 1877 standing for the
resolution. ia were democrats, 6S
were republicans, II were progress
republicans.
Were Not Surprised
Prohibition leaders declare that

fulfilled their expectations as they
had not hoped for a two-thirds vote.
Whether a similar resolution,
pending in the Senate, submitted by
Senator Sheppard of Texas, would
reach q vote in the Senate at this
session was not certain. Admins
tration leaders were inclined to be-
lieve, however, that it would not, in
| view of the action Of the House.
Notwithstanding repeated public
assertions that many members of
the House would try to dodge a re-
cord vote on the issue, the roll call
disclosed a heavy attendance, larger
than the average. throughout the
session. On the final vote $40 votes
were recorded. To have carried the
resolution would have required 258
affirmative votes. 1t thus failed by
81 votes.
The South Dakota representatives,
Burke and Martin, voted for the
resolution.
Vollmer is Sarcastic
Representative Vollmer of Iowa
declared the prohibition movement
was a wave of h~ysteria" and that
the amendment would ,destroy four
billion dollars worth of property.

make liquor" he said, forgetting
George Washington, the brewer;

even Jesus Christ Of Nazareth, who,

into wine at a wedding. And that
wine was Tot grape juice, for it was
made to add to the festivities of that
occasion and grape juice would have
given little satisfaction to those we'd

thing with a stick in it. Grape
juice never added anything to a we'd
ding or a wake"

GIMP IS A DISEASE
Called Influenza in Italy in Eighteenth

Century and Title Still Persists.
The la grippe is a disease with.
out a country, according to a new boob
just issued, which is devoted to the
malady. Every country tries to make
it out a native of another land.
In Russia it is called Siberian fever,
and in Siberia Chinese fever. In France
it has been called Spanish catarrh, and
Spain throws it back as Russian fever.
The term influenza came to be gen.
orally applied in England to the dis
ease. which was successfully known as
the new acquaintance" "the gentle
correction" the new delight" and
the knock-me-down fever" by a mis-
take.
Eighteen Century Italian writer's
says DR.. Hopkirk spoke of luna in
iuenza di FREDDIE" (infiuence of cold).
and English physicians, mistaking the
word influenza for the name of the dis
ease itself, used it. The same term is
also used in Germany, where a host Of
dialect still prevail, such as
lightning catarrh and fog plauge.
The following is q list of some OF the
names of influenza in different coun-
tries:
Brazil-Jamporina, polka fever.
Denmark-Brystfeber lodeber snu-
esyge, ~faroensis krum.
France-La grippe Generally in
usep. also la coquette. petit courier,
la grenade, Italian fever, Spanish cat
arrh, Russian Influenza.
Germany-Schafkrankheit (sheep's
diseased; modofieber fashionable fe-
,er); Russische krankheit.
Observation-Disclosures.
Italy-Morbo Russo RUSSIAN NAL.

easel; mallattia tedesca German
sickness).
Portugal-Febre di chuva yrainy fe-
yer).
Spain-Infuencia Rusa, pantomima.
trancazo "a blow with a BARI.
Sweden-Snufsjuka, snufieber.
The Spanish name transact" is
curious. and occurs also In France,
where the disease was at one time
called lie tao or lie Horizon, both mean
ing a blow on the head. The super.
stitious considered that the epidemic
was a punishment by Providence Wis
tied on those who persisted in singing
a particularly ribald7 song then much
in vogue, and when anyone was seized
with influenza his friends remarked:
"Ah! you have sung the song"
