new STATE LAWS
LEGISLATIVE ACTS WITHOUT
EMERGENCY CLAUSES Ell
FECTIVE TODAY.

Pierre, July 1.-The state consti-
tuition of South Dakota provides that
all laws enacted by the legislature
without emergency clauses shall go
into effect July i following their en-
actment. Under this provision a
number of new and amended laws of
Importance, which were enacted by
the state legislature at its session last
winter, and which did not contain
emergency clauses, go into effect to-
day.
The new laws makes a change in
the of securing marriage Ii
lenses i'm South Dakota. and fixes the
form of the license. According to the
old law. the license consisted of m
certificate and a license, both of
which were filed with the clerk of
courts. The new law provides two
certificates and the license. The Ii
cense and one certificate are to be
kept by the principals, while the 9th
er certificate is to be returned to the
county courthouse. This law will
necessitate the purchasing of new
marriage registers by the various
counties of the state, as the old form
cannot be used.
All school officers in the state will
be interested in the provisions of a
new law which requires every school
district in South Dakota to publish
an annual report for each fiscal year
ending June so, in a newspaper pub
lished nearest to the geographical
centers of the district. The law is
mandatory. A similar law has APP
piled to Independent districts for a
number of years, and now is extend
ed to apply to all school districts.
Another of the new laws permits
a city commission to levy a tax of
not to exceed / mill on all the tax
able property within the city for the
purpose of providing a fund for the
furnishing of free musical concerts to
the public. Before this may be done
it is necessary to file with a city COM
mission a petition signed by at least
90 per cent of the electors, requesting
that the levying of such a tax be sub
mitted to the voters at the next gen
eral election held previous to the time
the meeting is held by a city commits
sion for the purpose of making the
annual appropriations. A majority
only of the electors voting at such an
election is required to authorize the
levy.

There was an increased attendance
at the chautauqua assembly last

of an index to the crowd, as there are
over 400 season tickets in the hands
of patrons. There was a considerable
number of people visiting the lake
tomobile.
The program at the auditorium
gave excellent satisfaction. No mis-
take is made when Signor Bellino is
referred to as the accordion king.
He completely captivated his audi
ence with his remarkable execution
of accordion music. Miss Epton also
made a fine impression. They will
close their engagements this evening.

BASEBALL JINN


Osceola, June 30.-The Sunday
baseball jinx was apparently hanging
low over the John Farrell family,
who resides three miles northeast of
Cavour. last Sunday. In a game
here between the Osceola and Cavour
teams. ms of the brothers was hit
by a ball and knocked ~senseless, re-
naming unconscious for several
hours. In the sixth inning, while at
tempting to steal a base, a brother
suffered a broken leg at approximate
ly the same spot where his brother
was injured. The young mans leg
was broken shortly above the ankle.
He was rushed to %Iroquois, where II
was found that the injury Is a bad
one, and will in all probability leave
him a cripple for life.

Joseph Higgs Killed Near Washington
Springs.

Huron. July When his auto
turned over with him a few miles
west of Washington Springs. Joseph
Higgs, a we'll known farmer of this
locality, received injuries from the
effects of which he died in a few
hours, fractured ribs perforating his
lung. Mr.. Higgs and four others
were in the car, which was travelling
about Is miles an hour when a blow
out caused the machine to swerve.
When this happened Mr.. Higgs was
thrown against the driver who lost
his hold on the wheel and the car
went over. None of the others were
injured. Mr.. Higgs was SO years old
and had farmed in Beadle county for
many years. He leaves a wife and
seven children.

A DRY TOWN
THERE is NO POSSIBLE CHANCE
To MOISTEN THE CLAY IN
MADISON TODAY.

Madison went dry promptly at 9
o'clock last night. The transforma-
ton was made in something of a
blaze of glory-of the opposite kind,
perhaps. About 400 people were con-
gregated in West Fourth street, the
segregated saloon district, during the
evening until the curfew rang and
the saloon doors went shut. An
equal number were congregated in
Egan avenue at the intersection of
Fourth street, viewing the sights.
The entire police department of the
city was lined up along West Fourth
street, but they gave the jewellers rea-
sonable latitude in taking their last
drinks at Madison public bars. The
crowd was reasonably orderly, how
ever, and no arrests for too much
hilarity were made. There was no
session of the police court this morn
ing. The saloonmen did a lively bust
ness serving drinks and some of the
more thrifty patrons carried cases of
High Life and other choice brands to
waiting automobiles for future use.
Madison is sure enough dry today.
mere are only TWO wet Spots III Lake
county-Rutland and Nunda. Some
thing over 100 majority in the dry
column at the late city election would
indicate that the city will remain dry
for many years to come.
OF the saloonmen, it is said that
Benny DeBelts and f. j. Karlen will
probably remove from the city. T..
Heagney will devote his entire time
to his farming business, Fred Kurth
will establish a soft drink emporium
in the place he now occupies. j. A.
Donnelly, it is said, will establish a
pool hall in his building. The build
ing used by p. Heagney, owned by
Fred Kurth, will be occupied by Kir-
stein & Augustad as an auto tire re-
pair shop. The buildings and lots
occupied by Karlen and DeBelts have
been purchased by w. K. Reynolds
and he facetiously remarks that he
will improve them with a fine brick
structure to be used as terminal pur-
poses for the Luce Electric Short
Line.

THE AUTO Phone
PROGRESS Is BEING MADE To-
WARD INSTALLATION IN
MADISON.

Preliminary work is in progress to-
ward installing the proposed auto
matte telephone system in Madison.
Plans for the new brick building in
East Fifth street are being prepared
and it is expected to commence work
on the structure at the earliest pos
sible moment. The site owned by
the company adjoins the opera
house on the east, comprising a plot
25 by 80 feet, fronting south. Of
ficials of the company are now in
Chicago buying equipment for the
plant. Much of the telephone equip
ment used throughout the country is
manufactured by a big concern To-
Gated at Hawthorne, ILL.,, near Chi
cago. Such equipment, such as
cables, etc, are made to order to
meet the conditions Of the towns in
which they are used. The company's
engineer has prepared blue prints of
the ground plans of the plant and
will probably arrive in the city soon
to confer with the city commission in
regard to their approval. 1t is the
purpose of the company to push their
building to as e completion as
possible, lay the underground cables
and locate the necessary poles before
the ground freezes in the fall. Such
work as placing aerial cables may be
done in cold weather so that work
when commenced will be continued
without interruption until the plant
is completed. 1t is hoped to have the
automatic system in use within ten
months. In the meantime the pres
ent system will remain undisturbed
