Amsterdam. May (via 1ondon).-
A restriction of the power of the en-
peror of Germany has been decided
upon by the constitution committee oe
the reichstag, according to a dispatch
from Berlin. The committee has de-
cided to alter article XVII Of the i'm

The decision of the committee was
in accordance with a joint proposal by
the centrists, national liberals and the
progressives. Four conservative mem
hers voted against the change.

Twenty thousand Dol
lars Offered.

South Dakota beef cattle recently
broke the worlds record in the sale OF
forty head to the Armour Packing
company at S14 per hundred. This
price was the highest ever paid at the
stock yards in Chicago. During the
past decade South Dakota has been
very active in the Improvement of
the live stock industry, and the South
Dakota State Fair has been no mean
factor in bringing this about. Each
year the fair has been the means OF
assembling the best show stock in
the country, considerable amount OF
which has been purchased by South
Dakota breeders The fact that GER
tain animal does not win the blue
ribbon is no indication of inferior
quality, for at the South Dakota State
Fair it is in competition with the best
stock in the country, and the fact OF
its being shown here Is an indication
Of its high quality, for breeders have
learned the futility of trying TO win
with ordinary stock at this show.
In addition to the regular classes
which are open to the world there are
state classes for the following breeds
Shorthorns, Galloways. Herefords
Aberdeen-Angus. Polled Durham, Red
Polls and Holsteins. The American
associations Of these breeds, together
with the American associations OF thu

that the South Dakota State Fair and
Exposition, Sept 10th to l4th, Is oller-
ing large premiums for pure bred hogs
of the common breeds.
There is so much interest In hog
production in this territory that 1t Is
safe to say that the greater portion OF
the best exhibits will be purchased at
private sale by South Dakota breeders
who wish to raise better hogs. The
fair is encouraging this practice IN
every way possible, and has just COM
pleted one new swine barn to add to its
already extensive facilities for caring
! for the exhibits in this department.
That the swine exhibit at the South
Dakota State Fair and Exposition will
1 be much larger than any previous year
is evidenced by the large entries III
the Duroc-Jersey and Poland China
! ruturi.ies which closed March 18th.
Sheep specialists believe that sheep
can be grown at big profit in this
part of the country. and the state fair
board is offering liberal premiums to
owners of pure bred sheep of the lead
ing breeds. Every opportunity will be
given farmers to purchase breeding
stock. Sheep production in many OF
the warning nations which have been
supplying this country with wool, has
fallen off to such an extent that It !;
