Lead—Falling asleep while reading
by the light of a lamp on a Kitting
room table nearly c*jt Mra. James
Snell her life. The young woman
with her mother, who had retired for
the night, were alone in the bouse.
Mrs. Snell while reading became
drowsy, and her head dropping on the
table upset the lamp, igniting articles
in the room, and before the two women
knew it they were surrounded by
flames. Tbeir outcries for aid brought
others to the house, and both were
rescued after being badly burned.

sentences in the federal court Will
Jackson, a negro bootblack, and
Heniy Stelta tried the selling of
whieky and beer on the quiet, and
they were arrested. They pleaded
Kuilty ou two counts and were fined
heavily. They were then arretted by a
federal officer on the charge of gelling
liquor without a government license
and were taken to Sioux Falls, after
having been indicted before Commis
sioner Tidrick, of Chamberlain, and
they were ready to plad guilty before
Judge Carland and receive their sen
tences at once.
Sioux Falls -Tim Murphy and Har

two apparently despeiute men who
have been arrested by the local po
lice, on a charge of entering and rob
bing tne apartments of a Sioux Falls

that Murphy was shot a snort time ago
while resisting arrest at Minneapolis.

on the verge of a big revival.
Pierre—Judge Boucher in the circuit
court refused to grant new trials in
either the criminal or civil cases
which have been brought by the state
against the Central Lumber company
of Leola. In both these cases the
question at issue is the constitutinal
ity of the law of last session passed to
probil.it discriminations iu restraint of
trade. It was one of tbe platform
meanures of that session, and the out
come
will be watched with interest
over tbe state. Tbe state officers took
advantage of the riijht of search under
the law and secured the letter files and
books of the company, and with the
evidence so secured began th suits.
Thi defense put up the unconstitu
tionality of the law, but this was sus
tained by Judge Boucher, and he has
now refused a rehearing in the case.
An appeal has been taken to the su
preme court, and there will be a
bearing probably in the April term. If
the lower court is suBtuiued the suits
will put the Central Lumber company
out of business in this state and will
probably be a strong restraint against
such actions in tbe future.

West, of the Battle Mountain sanitar
ium at this place has been removed,
and Dr. E. Miller, of Des Moines,
la., appointed in his place. Dr. Haas,
head surgeon of the institution, has
been transferred to the Milwaukee
sanitarium. Since General West's ad
vent into the institution there has been
complaints from the inmates that ne
was lacking in sympathy for their con
dition, but it was not known that
formal charges bad been made, and
the action of tbe board of managers
came as a surprise to a'l concerned
witn tbe sanitarium. Dr. Miller is a
relative of Congressman Hull and was
formerly in the mining business,
where he is said to have lost a for
tune. He has had wide experience
and his qualifications have commend

He is at present practicing medicine

the game, in Wessiugton Springs a
solemn meeting of the school board was
held when the high school boys pro
posed to go to Mitchell to play a team
there. The board refused to allow the
game and expressed its disapproval of
the game even for local play. Last
fall this same board made an order
prohibiting the playing of football by
punils of the pnbli" scnools. People
arc indignant over the action ot the

Nothing Spectacular About the Elec
tion of Crawford as United States
Senator—Bill Organizing Butte and
Harding Counties Adopted—North
Carolina Bond Bill Still Hanging
Fire In the Senat*.
Pierre, Jan. 25.—There was very
little of the spectacular about the
senatorial election. In fact, we have
not before had an election with so
little of the sensational, but that was
wholly due to the choice of the can
didate in the primaries nine months
ar o. On Tuesday the houses voted
separately. In the senate Mr. Tobin
proposed the name of Gevernor Craw
ford on behalf of the Republicans and
Mr. Hitchcock presented Governor
Lee for the Democrats. The nomina
tions were seconded by the several
counties according to their political
predilictions and the vote gave Craw
ford 38, Lee 6 and one senator was
absent. In the house Mr. Morris of
Sioux Falls presented Crawford and
Mr. Ziebach of Buffalo nominated Lee.
Again the counties came forward with
secondings and the vote gave Craw
ford 94 and Lee 9. There was mild
handclapping at the announcement
and the incident was closed for the
day.
On Wednesday the Joint session
was held at noon to canvass the vote
and the formalities were soon cleared
away and Governor Crawford brought
in. In splendid diction he expressed
his thanks and declared his policy to
represent all without regard to party
or faction.
Each house has passed its own 2
cent rate bill, but there is likely to be
some modification of the proposition
before It becomes law. The conviction
is growing that the flat 2-cent rate
bill Is precisely what the railroads
want at this time, for the reason that
It will repeal the 21,£-crnt act of two
years ago and put a stop to the suit
In the federal court to enforce it,
which is most likely to be decided in
favor of the state. The 2-cent bill
will then be taken into court and per
haps held there until after another
session and if It is finally decided
a?aln3t the state It will leave the
railroads in the undisturbed enjoy
ment of the 3-cent rate for at least
fovr years to come. It Is now sug
gested that instead of passing the flat
rate bill that the railroad commis
sioners be empowered to fix a 2-cent.
rate If they see fit to do so. That
will leave the present 2%-cent suit to
be carried to judgment and if the de
cision is unfavorable to the state of
••ourse the 2-cent rate will be of no
assistance, but if the 2%-cent bill is
decided for the state the commission
ers then can at once order the 2-cent
rate and, of course, be compelled to
establish it through the courts.
The senatorial election and the an
ticipation of the week-long vacation
which began on Thursday has made
the week n quiet one along legislative
lines. Only two bills have become
laws. The first carried the legisla
tive expense bill and the other was an
emergency measure relating to the
organization of Butte and Harding
counties and provided for the trans
fer of records and court proceedings
from Butte to the new counties.
Speaking of new counties recalls
that Dr. Mertens of Potter has a bill
to create six counties upon the Chey
enne River and Standing Rock reser
vations. The three along the Mis
souri are, from south to north, Wan
eta, named from the anglicized form
of Waanatan, the Sioux word for
Charger, who was the leader in the
Fool Soldier band who rescued the
Shetak lake captives in 1862. The
next is Magaska, meaning white swan,
named for the well known chief of
that name, who resided in that vicin
ity. The third, Wakpala, which means
little river. West of Wakpala is Ta
piza, meaning Gall, or literally the
gall of an animal. It is named for
Gall, who was the leader of the Sioux
In the Little Big Horn campaign.
South of Tapiza Is Mellette, named
for the first governor of South Da
kota, and between Mellette and the
Cheyenne is Armstrong, named for
Hon. Moses K. Armstrong, once terri
torial delegate in congress and active
in all Dakota affairs.
The most of Tapiza, Magaska and
Armstrong and all of Mellette wil^be
opened to settlement this year, while
Waneta find Wakpala will remain en
tirely reservation.
No progress has been tnade in the
matter of an Immigration bureau and
no bill has been presented upon the
subject. The conservative members
feel that so little was secured from
the $10,000 appropriated by the last*
legislature for the purpose that they
are very reluctant to do anything, al
though the demand from the press
and commercial organizations that
something be done is very strong.
A committee of the real estate men's
convention will be here after the re
cess to promote the matter.

The contest between the dairy and,
Utod commissioner and tha board of
pharmacy over the drug bill Is spir
ited. The pharmacists want to take
the supervision of the drugs away
from the dairy and food commissioner
and vest it in the pharmacy board.
They also want only the national pure
drug provisions. Mr. Sasse of Coding
ton has presented their bill, which is
H. B. 2. Commissioner Wheaton, of
course, wants to retain the drugs un
der his supervision and demands that
every package sold shall have a qual
itative label. Mr. Simonson's II. B.
82 is the Wheaton bill. The house
health committee stays by the phar
macists and have reported the Sasse
bill favorably and the report was
adopted before the adjournment under
a suspension of the rules without op
position, Wheaton's friends apparently
not noticing the finesse of the move
ment, but when the bill comes up for
passage some fireworks are promised.

The senate has not yet disposed of
the North Carolina bond bill, which
was sent back to the Judiciary com
mittee to determine whether or not it
carries an appropriation under the
meaning of the constitutional provi
sion which requires a two-thirds vote.
While some lawyers contend the re
turn is not an appropriation there is
no doubt the money is legally in our
treasury pursuant to a decision of the
supreme court of the United States
and there seems to be but one way
to legally get money out of the treas
ury and that by a two-thirds vote.
Under present conditions and the
state of public and legislative senti
ment the money appears to be pretty
effectually tied up where It neith
er be returned or used.
