The LEGISLATURE
WATERFOWL FAILS TO SECURE
FUNDS FOR INSANE
HOSPITAL.

Pierre, Feb. 11.-Again Water
town has met defeat in the effort to
get an appropriation to start i'm
proyements on a new hospital for in
sane at that place. Under the act of
1905 such an institution was order
ed located at the lake city. Ever
since that date the first appropriation
has been asked for at the sessions as
they go along. While the boosters
for Watertown have been able to get
a majority each session they have
never been able to get up to the re-
CURED t%wo-thirds to pass an appro-
priation, and for the third time they
have failed to get the cash to start
work.
The effort on the part of Repre-
sentative Green of Bon Homme to
allow Sunday baseball in the state by
a new Sunday observance act started
the orators going, and after several
amendments had been offered to
practically change the whole pro-
visions of the act, and each n who
desired had his opportunity TO ex-
press his views Of Sunday ball, the
bill was indefinitely postponed and
Sunday ball is yet under tho ban in
South Dakota.
The bill giving to women of the
state the right of municipal suffrage
was placed On the calendar, and when
called just before adjournment was
put over to Tuesday of next week as
a special order, and every effort will
be made by the supporters to get 4
t1xrn ihtrla ryofn For Tho ~
prevent the referendum being applied
to it.
One of the principal bills of the
day in the house was by Blake, to
place all light, heating and power
plants of the state under control of
the state railway commission. which
is declared to be in charge of all
general utilities of the state.
The senate finally disposed of the
house bill to abolish the state high
way commission. and while there is
yet a senate bill in existence to ac-
complish the same purpose, the
chances are that the commission will
remain, without further serious eff
fort to push the senate measure.
With the refusal of the house to
reconsider its vote on the textbook
measure. 1t is now up to the senate
to decide whether or not the new
law is a satisfactory one. and the
friends of the bill say they feel more
confident of its success in the senate
than In the house. The attacks made
upon the bill by the Educator COM
pany of Mitchell, itself a publisher of
textbooks. has apparently had more
of an effect toward pushing the bill
along than it has to in any way stop
its progress. The strong defense
put up for the measure by Speaker
Christopherson may have weight
when the senate gets the bill, and
certainly went a long way toward

swinging away the opposition on the
floor of the house, his defense of the
measure being one which was hard
to meet and refute In any way.
A bill has been presented in the
house to appropriate not to exceed
$1,000 for a memorial monument on
the site where the Verenderie plate
was buried by that French explorer
on the hills at Fort Pierre in 1743.
as an evidence of his explorations In
the name of France.
Former State Auditor III. b. An
derson of Mitchell is here TO appear
before the legislative investigating
committee. He will make statements
as to the manner in which the state
a make a saving of half a million
dollars a year, which he declared to
be a possibility in his last annual re-
port.
G.. III. Englesby of WATERFOWL, for
mer adjutant general, also is here.
He will help straighten out what Is
alleged TO be careless bookkeeping in
the accounting department of his Of
fee, which is said to be partly the
cause of the deficiency in the funds
of that department.
A delegation is here from Sioux
Falls in opposition to the Birch bill
in the house, which attempts to place
greater restrictions upon liquor IL
cense elections. If enacted into law
it would require a much heavier vote
to carry license than what is required
under the present laws.
A bill prepared by the state anti
saloon league was presented in the
house. which has for its provisions
the closer limitations of the powers
of druggists in the handling of intox-
icating liquors. Some of the require
ments of the act prohibit any drug
gist in the state from selling liquor
except on physicians prescription, or
on affidavit of the purchaser as to
the use to which it is to be put. No
sale can be made under any other
regulations and only n sale on any
one prescription or affidavit. The
druggist Is TO be required to keep an
open record of any and all such sales
with the purpose for which the liquor
Is to be used, and this record is to be
open u the puDllC at all llmcS dui
ing business hours. The representa-
tives OF the league declare that diff
ferent restrictions are now placed
upon druggists in towns which have
voted prohibition and the license
towns, and that all should be placed
under exactly the same restrictions.
without any restrictions on one not
placed alike on all such dealers. The
act also absolutely prohibits the sale
Of liquor by clubs or any associations
of any class other than licensed Ii
quor dealers in the state, and drug
gists only under the restrictions i'm
posed by the act.
The house took up senate bills and
killed senate bill No. Is, which at
tempted to require auctioneers to re-
port sales they were to hold to coun-
ty t%reasurers at least five days before
the sale. Magnus and Steele, both
auctioneers, objected for the reason
that in many cases they did not know
that they were to hold a sale until a
day or at most two before the date.

STATE NEWS.

Salem-After waiting for over a
week TO hear from relatives, the
body of Oliver Mears, who was burn
ed to death in an accidental fire on
the morning of January 81, was
buried in Wildwood cemetery. Mears
was 81 years of age and lived alone.
Relatives were informed, but they
declined to are for the body.
Dell Rapids-An important bust
ness transaction here was the on
solidation of the Dell Rapids State
bank with the First National bank.
the latter taking over all the deposits
n banking business of the state
bank except the farm loans. which
are retained by the estate of the chief
stakeholder of the bank which now
has gone out of business.
Pierre-The report of the warden
OF the state penitentiary for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1914, shows
that for the season of 1913 a profit
OF $~12.072.66 was made in the opera
ton of the twine plant, and for the
season of 1914 a profit of ~$1S,032.37
was shown. The report shows that a
total of $~1,215.46 has been deducted
from the profits for depreciation on
machinery, which leaves a net profit
of $30,105.03 for the two years. Since
the twine plant proposition was in
augurated, a net profit of ~s72,294.21
has been earned.
Pierre-In connection with the
movement for buying or building a
governors mansion" as tentatively
approved by committee action in both
branches of the legislature, there is
considerable sentiment for the pur-
chase of the residence owned and oc-
cupied by A. w. Ewart, now state
treasurer. The Ewart home is class
ed as one of the very finest in the
state and the committee now is in
vestigating the propriety of acquiring
the property instead of building IA
new home for the governor.
Lake Andes - Willie Evers, a
youth residing at Wagner, owns and
operates a wireless telegraph outfit
on which he states that he has re-
peatedly received messages from Key
West, Fla, and Arlington, Va. The
two instruments of these two states
seem to be tuned to the same key as
his Is. His outfit is strong enough to
receive from a great distance, but
owing to the size of the outfit is able
to send only a few miles. He is per-
fecting himself in the international
code which is used in preference to
the Morse alphabet.

passengers there were some rather
exciting times on the Milwaukee
train which was stalled in a snow
drift near Tyndall for sixty hours
from Thursday evening until Sunday
morning. Some of the women on the
train tainted from fatigue and worry
while others were in a hysterical con-
dition. A large amount OF bread
and fruit in the baggage car of the
train helped to alleviate actual suf-
fering. These supplies were taken
out and distributed among the pas
sengers. A special train carrying
four engines and manned by fifty
workers finally reached the maroon

Three Fires This Week.

Three fires have occurred in the
county this week, the first one occur
ring last Sunday morning at one
o'clock, when the barn of Mr.. w. F.
Allen burned. 1t contained a quantity
of loose hay and was ablaze all over
when discovered. The fire company
prevented the old Methodist parsonage
from burning, as cinders soon set fire
to the roof. Live cinders we're carried
a great distance, but, fortunately, no
damage was done. There was insur-
ance to the amount of 5000 on the
barn.
The old Brewer house, belonging to
Mr.. Massey Neville, near Memphis,
Ala, burned about two o'clock Tuesday
morning. 1t was a large ~ante-bellum
residence and had been unoccupied for
some time. About a thousand bales
of hay had been stored in 1t by Mr..
Neville and it was all a complete loss,
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The cottage in the northern part of
town belonging to Mr.. P. S. Hayes, of
Pensacola, Fla, and occupied by his
aunt, Miss Emma Boyle, and MIR. and
MR.. Aston Smith, burned Wednesday
night. The fire originated in the
kitchen. The furniture of Mr.. Smith,
who occupied the front part of the
house, was nearly all saved, but Miss
Boyle lost almost everything she had
On account of the distance from a fire
plug, little assistance could be given
by the fire company. There was insur-
ance of $500 on the residence and Mr..
Smith carried $500 on his furniture.
MISS Boyle was unvell at the time Of
the fire, and since that time she has
been confined to her bed at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Wood Cockrell.

Now that the crons of corn

Now that the crops of corn
and cotton are being laid by and
the oat and wheat lands have
been put into summer legumes.
the sowing of the fall crops
should begin to command atten-
ito n. We are satisfied that much
of the late seeding of oats could
be avoided if the value of earlier
seeding was fully recognized and
more effort made to overcome the
obstacles in the way. Oats, and
even wheati sown between the
cotton rows, provided the ridges
are not too high, will give better
results than when seeding is de-
layed until the cotton is picked.
