YANkTON COLLEGE NEAR
TO MEETING HILLS OFFER

;. D., Dec. 24.-Two recent
gifts to the Yankton college endow-
ment campaign, n of $4,000 from A.
j. Abbot, of Bon Homme county, and
another of $4,000 from on eastern
donor brings the total amount thus
far secured up to nearly $3.50, 900.
About $4,000 more within the remain
ing days of HI month Woul make up
the total of 100000 necessary to Sc
cure from James j.. Hill the full $4,000
OF his offer to college, rounding out the
full $250,000 for increased endowment.
Mr.. Abbot's gift is the second contribu-
ton he has made to this campaign, the
first one having been for $751; 900, given
two years g to start the campaign.
The $40, 600 gift from the eastern donor
has just been secured.
January /, 1916 is the final day Of
settlement between the college and Mr..
Hill. These two recent gifts give re-
newed hope for the success of the cam
paign. 1t is quite possible that at the
| very close 5000 can be secured from a
| group Of Yankton men on a plan Of
guarantee, provided other contribu-
| tons bring the campaign to within
| that distance from the goil. In case
| this could be done there would be only
about SIS, 900 needed to bridge the gap.
The college a very thoroughly can
| vassed its constituency both in the
state and outside, n to secure even
this amount additional will be diff
cult; yet a strong final appeal is being
| made. through bulletins sent out. this
| week in the hope of interesting givers
| who will come to the rescue and help
! win the fight. Some gifts in moderate
amounts are being secured in the state.
If only enough of these can be gath>
cred in, and along with them a little
further help from the east the goal can
| be cached. There will be no further
extension of time on the part of Mr..
| Hill.
President Warren has been in the
east for about a month and will remain
in the field there up to the very last,
in daily communication by wire with
| the college office at Yankton with re-
/! spect to totals and the narrowing gap
between amount secured and the $780,
| 600 required.

some talk OF EXTRA
SESSION TO ARRANGE
AN EARLIER PRIMARY
Proposal Has Come to Governor
From Several Sources-It II
Under Consideration.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 24.-There is d
strong probability that an extra ses-
sion of the state legislature may be
held neXt month for the purpose of
fixing an earlier primary date, thus
doing away with the necessity of a
special primary to select delegates to
the republican national convention. 1t
is claimed that the extra session, il
held to making this one adjustment,
would cost only about one-third as
much as the special primary.
Governor Byrne may take the ques-
ton up with the members of the legis-
latere soon after the holidays for the
purpose of securing an expression from
them. He would not be disposed to
call the session unless the members
pledge themselves to adjust the pri-
mary date anf adjourn without at
tempting to transact other business.
On account of the busy season on
the farm extending all through April
and well up to the first Of June, it Is
probable the legislature will be OPP
posed to moving the regular primary
date ahead more than one week
changing from the first Tuesday in
June to h last Tuesday in May. The
primary date question was under dis
cussion last spring, when the present
measure was adopted. At that time
Governor Byrne urged a date in May
M If this suggestion had been fol-
lowed the present complications would
have been avoided.

STRINGENT REGULATIONS TO
CHECK OUTBREAK QE ANTHRAX

Pierre, S. D.. Dec. 24.-Because for
the past 10 years anthrax has been pre-
valent in Stanley county, south of Fort
Pierre, without any permanent ex-
tinction of it, the live stock sanitary
board has issued full authority to the
state veterinarian TO make such quar-
antine regulations as he sees fit, suit
able to the cases, and gives him full
powers to enforce them. Rigid investi-
cation of the matter and compliance
with the law concerning it is to be en-
forced from now on in that vicinity.
The persons who have had anthrax
cases have been extremely negligent
as to taking proper care of cattle af-
tiicted with the disease, and have not
properly burned the c%arcasses, in
many instances leaving them on the
prairie, these practices leading to con-
tinued trouble.
This time measures will be final and
effective, and no person in the affected
district will be immune from the rego-
iationS.
