FISH DYING
THEORY ADVANCED THAT MEM
BEERS OF EINNY TRIBE
SMOTHERED TO DEATH.

For a reason which fishermen and
men cutting ice there are at a loss
to explain, vast numbers of fish have
died during the winter in Lake Her
man.
BY some it is thought that the ex-
cessive cold and heavy falls of now
are responsible for the dying off.
The opinion most generally accepted
is that the fish smothered. In the
shallow parts of the lake, near the
shore, ice is said to have frozen to
the bottom. When forces of men re-
Gently started to cut ice in the lake,
hundreds of fish swarmed to the open
water.
A number of men who caught
messes Of fish, said that the flesh
seemed to be contaminated. Some
told that the odor coming from the
fish was such that they did not cook
them, and it was at first thought they
were afflicted with some disease. Ii
Is now believed, however, that with
means for the water to come in con
tact with fresh air, the dying off of
fish will be checked.

unable to obtain cars. About fifty
cars OF ice vas shipped out before the
recent storms and cold snap made il
impossible for the railways to get
cars here. Approximately 100 ears
more of ice are to be shipped out to
the various towns tributary to Madi-
SON. In the meantime, some thirty
men, who would otherwise be given
employment at Lake Madison are
idle. Ice for local consumption is be-
ing taken from Lake Herman.
1t is reported that ice is about two
feet thick, which is about the same
thickness as last year.
Owing to the pause in freight traf-
fic and the continued cold, retail
stocks of coal in the city are being
rapidly reduced. One dealer Is en-
tirely out of coal, and a couple of
others are out of some grades and
have very little left of any kind OF
soft coal, it is said.
Some grocery dealers are running
short of some articles. One dealer
told that he had not yet received
goods which were accepted by the
railway company in Sioux Falls a
week ago.

The Minneapolis Journal an
nounces the illness in the P~resbyter-
ian hospital in Chicago of VIM. Nc
Almon, a former resident of Madi-
son. Mr.. McAlmon was coach of
Grinnell college, Ia, football team
last year, leaving Grinnell for Chi
cage last November in very poor
health, the climax of the strain of the
seasons work which he began in OPP
position to expert advice. He expects
to go to California as soon as he is
released from the hospital. Mr., Nc
Almon is engaged in the law business
in Minneapolis.
Heavy drifts of snow, formed by a
strong north wind yesterday, and a
drop in temperature last night caused
a delay of all trains last night and
today in this section. The train
which was due at 2:15 o'clock yes
terday did not arrive until about IL
o'clock last night. The trains due
from the north and west at 9:15
o'clock this morning were several
hours late. No freight trains were
started out, and it is reported that
the cutoff between this city and
Sioux Falls, is again blockaded by
snow. The temperature at z o'clock
this morning was is degrees below
zero. At l o'clock this afternoon

ture of Z degrees above zero.

SHORT SESSION
STATE SENATOR URDAHL COM
MENTS ON RECOVERING OF
STATE LEGISLATURE.

State Senator Hans Urdahl, who
left today for Pierre, held an opti-
mistic view of the probable result of
called for tomorrow.
Mr.. Urdahl said he did not think
that any business other than that of
fixing a date for the state primary
would be gone into. He told that he
did not believe the people wanted
any general business taken up at this
time, and that he, for one, is unal-
terably opposed TO having any add
tional matters brought up. He did
not believe that the question of sub
stituting the old Coffey primary bal
lot law for the present act would be
gone into, as some newspapers have
predicted. The Coffey law, which
was defeated at the polls a year ago
last fall, provided for a ballot con
tanning all the party tickets, instead
of individual ticket ballots, as now.
Regarding officers for the extraor-
binary session, Mr.. Urdahl said ii is
his opinion that the same men who
presided over the house and senate at
the last session would act in the same
capacity. He pointed out that the
forthcoming is the first extra session
of the legislature I've held in the
state, there Is no precedent to follow.
1t was his opinion that no extra door
keepers or stenographers will be nee
essary. He explained that as there
are only one or two bills to deal with,
one stenographer should be able to
take all necessary notations.
Mr.. Urdahl did not think the ses-
sion would be continued more than
five days. He thought that all bills
would be passed as committee bills.
In hat way bills may at once be
placed on the calendar and acted up
on by the legislature OIL the following
day. Where bills are introduced by
individuals, it is necessary to later re-
fer them to committees and await the
committees reports.
Mr.. Urdahl said he believed both
John III. Groce, of Ramona, and |. A.
Baldwin, of Wentworth, state repre-
sentatives from this county, would be
in attendance.
