SPECIAL SESSION ON
TRAINS CARRYING MEMBERS DE-
LAYED BY DRIFTS-AMEND
PRIMARY ACT.

Pierre, Feb. Special: Huge
drifts of snow throughout all sections
of the state are largely responsible
for the fact that only about one-half
the number of legislators expected TO
attend were in their seats this fore
noon, when the first special session
of the legislature yer held in the
state of South Dakota was called 70
order by Lieut.. Gov. Peter Norbeck,
in the senate, and Speaker Chas. A.
Christopherson, in the house.
Dispatches received indicate that
dozens more belated members of the
legislature will have arrived by early
afternoon. Among those present the
main question appears to be the
length to go in the amendment of
the present primary act, ranging in
views all the way from just %doctoring
the required sections to a careful re-
vision of the whole act. But the SEN
timent Of all here is that the work
should be cleared up with all possible
dispatch and got out of the way.
Among the leaders on the ground
are II. c. Shober, w. G. Cook and
Speaker Christopherson.
The call of the special session has
brought out through delving in old
territorial records that there was
once a special session of the terri
torial legislature called in April, 1871
for the purpose of authorizing Yank-
ton county to issue bonds in aid OF
the Dakota Southern railway. The
action of the legislature got into the
courts, but before any final decision
was secured congress passed an act
validating the work of the territorial
legislature. The bonds were issued
and taken up by eastern parties, and
afterward repudiated by the county
and the eastern holders for years
stood in the way of statehood for Da.
kota on account of this action.

Having become stuck in a snow
drift at Bryant, about half way be-
tween this city and Bristol last night,
the passenger train which left for the
north at about $50 o'clock last night
did not get through to Bristol, its
destination. The train returned here
early this afternoon, after having
been released by a snowplow sent
from here. 1t is reported that
some through trains from the Pacific
coast are more than a day late, hav-
ing been blockaded in the mountains.
The mildest weather in the last two
weeks was felt her today. At z
o'clock this morning the temperature
was II degrees above zero, and at j
o'clock this afternoon it was % de-
grees above. The predictions are for
a drop in temperature tonight.

ACT ON PAVING
COMMISSION ORDERS ADVISABLE
ITY OF WORK ADVERTISED
MATERIALS CONSIDERED.

First formal action on the two pc
titions for paving Egan avenue was
taken by the city commission at a
regular meeting last night, when the
necessity for the work was ordered
advertised. Very little discussion
preceded the passing of the resolu-
lions.
Besides the three members of the
commission, there were present Chas.
A. Trimmer, city engineer; William
Rae, city auditor; William Rowland,
secretary of the Madison Merchants
association, and several property
owners who are interested in the pro-
posed improvement.
Two Petitions Submitted.
One of the petitions provides for
the paving of Egan avenue from
Third street to Seventh street, the
full width of the street. The other
requests that a strip or two strips of
paving be laid on Egan venue from
Seventh street to Eleventh street.
The width of the paving north Of
Seventh street will be discretionary
with the commissioners and city en-
gineer.
A plan for reducing the width of
Egan avenue from 76 feet to 20 feet,
by widening the walks on each side
of the thoroughfare three feet, is be-
ing considered. 1t is pointed out that
the street will then be fully as wide
as the modern city street, and that it
will be cheaper to widen the walks
than to pave the space. A strip of
paving will probably be run on each
side of the street, north of Seventh
street, leaving a park through the
center. There would then be no jog
i'm the curb line, and drivers of We
hicles would be forced to keep to the
right side of the street.
Five Materials Considered.
Any one Of five kinds of paving
materials may be used, Among the
materials discussed last night were
asphalt. creosoted wood blocks, first
and second course concrete and btu
lithic. Engineer Trimmer will sub
nit estimates of the cost of the vari-
Gus pavings at next Monday nights
meeting of the commission
The commission will not advertise
for bids for the work until after the
expiration of the regulation four
weeks, at the end of which time pro-
tests, if any, will be in order. To
hear objections, the commission will
meet on the night of March 10.

ROBINS ARE HERE"
PIERRE MAN SEES A FLOCK OF
NINE-DUCkS PASSING
NORTH.

Pierre, Feb. S-Winter may be
hanging on with but little sign of let
up, but w. II. Tweedle, a prominent
business man of this city, announces
the first evidences of spring in the
arrival of a flock of nine robins on
his lawn Friday morning. The birds
attracted his attention as they flew
past his window, and to make certain
that they were robins, he followed
them to a nearby grove. where he got
within a rod of several of them and
made certain that they were robins.
Beside this evidence hat the rigors
Of winter are to give way to mildeT
weather, residents of Eakin, in Sully
county, report viewing several flocks
of ducks passing over that place
headed northward. such flights OF
birds being a fair evidence that win
ter will soon give way to more tenn
perate weather.

DENOUNCTNG MEDICINES.

Wholesale denunciation of propri-
etary medicines is no more justifiable
than wholesale denunciation Of the
medical profession. 1t is no more
true that there are reputable physi-
clans who unselfishly devote their
lives to an amending struggle with
disease than that there are standard
remedies which do as good a work;
often where the work of the good
physician cannot reach. A good ex-
ample is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, which has for forty
years been alleviating the sufferings
of women and curing the ills peculiar
to their sex.

emergency appropriation to the extent
of the amount covered by such items,
and accounts Of those reimbursemente
were taken up and carried on the Of
fetal records in this way. The items
to which you referred on the floor Of
the House were items Of this nature.
81 may add, also. that In no instance
was there reimbursement Of the orig
inal subappropriations beyond the
amount appropriated by Congress in
the appropriation act for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1915: indeed, ow-
ing to the interruption in the regu-
lar work Of the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, it was not necessary to reim-
burse the regular subappropriations
for all Of the money which had been
withdrawn for use in the foot-and-
mouth disease work between the date
Of the outbreak Of the disease and
January 25, 1915. The total amount
withdrawn during that period from the
regular subappropriations was $607,-
1868, while the total reimbursement
from the emergency appropriation
amounted to but $529,135.63.

clearly shows that the expenditures

eral lines OF work covered by the ap-
preparation General expenses. Bureau

charged to and paid from the deflc-
iency appropriation Of January 25,

tarys letter cleared up the misunder-
standing before the Congress.

Washington. March 3.-Some mis-
. understanding having arisen in re-
gard to the expenditure of the funds
employed in the suppression Of foot
and mouth disease, the secretary OF
Agriculture in order to clear up the
subject has explained. in a letter pub
lished in the Congressional Record.
the sources from which the necessary
money was obtained and the methods
adopted by the Department in ac-
counting for it's expenditure. In this
letter the secretary said in part:
The outbreak Of the foot-and-
mouth disease occurred in October.
1914. At that time the only funds
available for use in combating the
disease were those carried in the ag-
ricultural appropriation act for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1915. un-
der the heading. General Expenses,
Bureau Of Animal Industry The sew
eral items under this appropriation ag-
gregated $1.537.996, Of which amount
$4,000 had been expended in fuFth-
prance Of the regular lines or work
authorized by that appropriation. 1t
will thus be seen that there was avail
able a balance of $1,131,3 4S.63 for ex-
penditure in carrying on the routine
work covered by such appropriation
and in carrying on the work involved
in the eradication Of the foot-and-
mouth disease. When this outbreak
occurred, Congress was not In session
and it, therefore, became necessary for
the department to draw largely upon
such balance successfully to combat
nd diSoaCn PAYMENT
Of the expenses Of the work involved In
the foot and mouth disease project
from the appropriation referred 70
necessarily embarrassed the other
lines Of activities, the expenses OF
which were exclusively chargeable
thereto. In order to carry on the sew
eral lines 0f work outlined in said ap-
preparation, it was necessary to reim-
burse that appropriation practically to
the extent of the amount paid there
from in furtherance Of the foot-and-
mouth disease project. When Con-
gress convened, the situation con-
fronting the department was fully ex-
planned to the Committee on Appro-
priations. AS result of presenting
the matter to that committee, an
Item was embodied in the deficiency
bill of January 25, 1915, reading as
follows:
