Another proposed amendment to the
constitution is to allow an increase in
state tax levies to 4 mills annually
in case of need of such, with other
tax provisions.
The Brady bill not only attempts
to restrict but absolutely prohibits
the manufacture, sale or offering for
sale of cigarettes or paper.
A new element is to be sprung in
the inebriate asylum proposition by
prohibiting the use of the state-owned
buildings at old Fort Sisseton for that
purpose. Thorson of Minnehaha in
the senate took a few more falls out
of railways in bills requiring track
scales and joint stations at crossing
points. Another brick was hurled at
the owners or stockholders of brew
eries, prohibiting them taking any
part in the retail trade.
The first bill to receive final action
in either house came up in the house
Wednesday afternoon. First of these
was the Morris bill which requires
precinct officers and county auditors
to make immediate election returns
outside the official returns.
In committee of the whole Thurs
day, with McPherson of Lawrence
in the chair, oratory flowed free and
untrammeled by rules that afternoon
when the Dillon bill to return the
money secured from North Carolina
on bonds donated to the state be re
turned. Senator Dillon, who spoke
nearly two hours, charged that the
whole transaction was tinctured with
fraud, and that the state could do but
one of two things, either return the
cash, or go into a general collection
business of bad debts of other states.
Senator Dillon further charged that
the whole scheme Jiad its inception in
Wall street by which the acceptance
of tiie bonds was made possible, and
that it was carried through by the
joint efforts of ex-Senator Butler of
South Carolina, ex-Senator Pettigrew
of South Dakota, Wheeler and Peck
hatn of New York and R. W. Stewart,
at that time a state senator, the two
latter being employed attorneys of
the New York contingent back of the
deal. He spurned any offer to trans
fer tainted money to any fund of the
state on the ground that it would
blight any institution to which it was
transferred.
Senator Curtis of Brown, who had
moved to amend the bill to place the
money in the school fund, recounted
the transaction from its beginning,
taking the position that the bonds on
which collection was made were legi
timate indebtedness against North
Carolina, and had been acknowledged
by payment of a large part of the
bonds by compromise. The commit
tee then rose with a permission to sit
again tomorrow, when others will be
heard.
The senate railway committee re
ported favorably on the 2-cent rate,
electric headlight and express rate
bills.
The Democrats in caucus Thursday
night selected Andrew T. Lee as their
candidate for United States senator.
A move to fight the white plague in
the state was started Friday by the
bill by Batte to appropriate money to
establish a state tuberculosis hospi
tal at Custer. The only other bill of
importance presented was that which
materially amends the present pri
mary election law, practically abol
ishing the county convention, placing
the duties of the convention on the
county committee.
The first house argument was call
ed out on the bill requiring county
commissioners to publish poor aid
i.Vts, which was defeated. Fowler, He
.!, Batte and Bartine opposing the
'tire, and Johnson, Morris and
y!or
supporting it.
SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE
The North Carolina bill was again
up in the senate committee of the
whole Friday and by a vote of 25 to
17 the committee recommended that
the bill pass. This came in the way
of a surprise, as it was the general
opinion that the vote would be very
close. The discussion was by Dillon,
Batei and Seward for the bill, with
Curtis and Byrne opposing, and the
seriousness of the argument was
somewhat strained Beveral times by
charges of bad faith and cold mis
statements bandied between the lead
ers.
I REVIEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF THE $
STATE LEGISLATORS FOR THE WEEK.

The equal suffrage contingent stalls personal and heated, and bad faith in

for women, granting that right upon
those who own property upon which
they pay taxes. This, they think, will
have the way to complete franchise
later.
Bates and Dillon took occasion to
warmly refute the Intimations which
were contained in the charge of
"counsel for the other side" made in
regard to some of their statements,
and also resented the charge of "pet
tifogging," charged in the argument.
The passages at this were rather

The vote in the committee is proba
bly the full strength which the meas
ure can muster, and it likely will fail
to secure the thirty votes necessary
to carry it as an appropriation bill.
Tile senate Saturday took another
step in the principal railway and ex
press bills by passing them up to the
house afler favorable action. These
are the 2-cent rate, electric headlight
and express rate bills. They carry the
emergency provision, and will mean
some early legal action after they
have been passsed upon by the house.
Other bills passed by the senate
were the Byrne bill providing life in
surance policy forms, and an act to
assist in the organization of Perkins
and Harding counties.
'The oniy bill of imparlance in ilia
senate today was one defining the
crime of theft of gold products from
mills and fixing the penalty for the
same.
in the house a few minor raiiruau
measures were presented and bills fix
ing the hours of labor in mines and
mills at eight hours, and amending
the election law to require tickets to
be placed upon the ballot in order of
party numerical strength. The first
session act to get to Gov. Vessey for
his signature was sent in Saturday,
it providing for the payment of legisla
tive expenses of the present session,
and received his signature at 5 o'clock.
The house is in shape to rush the
2-cent bill Monday or Tuesday by sub
stituting the senate bill for the du
plicate house bill, favorable reported
Saturday.
The equal suffrage contingent is
gathering from all parts of the state,
and this morning had a conference
with Representative Fitch, who intro
duced the resolution a few days ago
with the property qualification.
This is not satisfactory to the equal
suffrage leaders, who say the resolu
tion for such an amendment was pre
sented without consulting them, and
they desire a resolution providing for
complete franchise instead of the lim
ited proposition which has been of
fered.
485 BORN IN LAWRENCE COUNTY.
Clerk of Court Issues Annual Report
on Vital Statistics.
The annual report of the clerk of
courts' office for Lawrence county, on
vital statistics, is out and shows some
interesting figures. Although many
secret divorces are supposed to be
granted here, the record shows but
twenty-eight during the year with ten
more pending in the court. There
were during the year just past 485
births, 267 deaths and 226 marriages.
Just 630 foreigners declared their in
tention of becoming citizens and for
ty-eight were granted final papers.
Plans of the utmost importance
were formulated by the directors of
the Gilt Edge Maid and Mining com
pany at their special meeting held at
Deadwood. and as a result work is
expected to shortly commence on a
mammoth treatment plant that will
ultimately become the largest in the
Black Hills. At the meeting were
President John L. Turner of Spring
field, S. D., United States Senator
Moses K. Clapp of Minnesota, George
B. Lowry of Fergus Falls, .Minn., Will
iam D. Lowry of Minneapolis, and
General Manager Robert N. Ogden of
Deadwood. The purpose of the meet
ing was to authorize an increase in
the capital stock from $1,000,000 to
$
1.500,000 and a $300,000 bond issue
both to cover the expense of the pro
posed improvements.
BURNED TO DEATH.
Loses
Agent for Lumber Company
Life in Morning Baze.
John C. Doherty, agent for the At
las Lumber company at Putney, near
Aberdeen, was burned to death in an
early morning fire there. Doherty
slept in the office of the lumber com
pany. The fire was discovered in the
morning by residents of the town. The
door was burst open, and Doherty was
found lying on the floor, and was
dragged out. It is presumed that the
fire started from the stove, and that
Doherty awoke and tried to escape,
but was overcome by the smoke. He
was twenty-seven years of age and
unmarried. His home was at Alvord,
Iowa.
Bandit's Bride in Tears.
Butte, Mont., Jan. 1G. With a
bride of three months beside him,
Tony Clark, saloon hold-up, was sen
tenced to nineteen years' imprison
ment, the young woman going into
hysterics when the court refused a
new trial.
A case wherein devotion to official
duty outweighed fraternal affection
developed at Aberdeen when Fred
Reber and John Tugen of James were
brought to Aberdeen on a charge of
running a blind pig. The arrest wa»
made by John Reber, a brother of
Fred Reber. John Reber is a con
stable, and after pleading with his
brother to cease the unlawful busi
ness in which he was engaged, with
out avail, he performed his official
duty by placing him under arrest.
ADVERTISING H0SPITAL8.
The South Dakota Medical society
of the sixth district, with headquarters
at Mitchell, has refused to admit Dr.
C. P. Farnsworth. superintendent of
the Chamberlain sanitarium, to mem
bership in that society, because that
institution has carried a card in cer*
tain newspapers of the state, the Ar
gus-Leader among them. In a recent
letter to Dr. Farnsworth and Dr.
Lindsay, Dr. Reamer, the secretary of
the association, puts the refusal to ad
mit on the ground that the hospital
has done newspaper advertising, but
Dr. Reamer does not say that he him
self personally paid for and managed
similar advertising for the Mitchell
hospital. We think Dr. Reamer showed
good business sense in publishing In a
newspaper the location of his hospital
ond its reasonable claims to patron
age. but if he is permitted to do this
and still he elected secretary of the
association, we see no reason why the
Chamberlain Institution should be dis
criminated against.
We do not know what the Chamber
lain Sanitarium intends to do about
it. but we know pretty well what any
average business man would do. He
would run his business to suit himself
and accept no advice from com
petitors.
Physicians cannot keep their hold
on the people if they advise them not
to go to a hospital because its owners
carry a „pard in a newspaper, and It
will «oon develop that the fight against
such a hospital for such a reason must
cease. An unreasonable position like
this would soon tend to keep physi
cians out of societies, and it would not
be long before the so-called "regulars"
l'ound themselves In an uncomforta
ble minority. It Is barely possible
that the position taken at Mitchell
may have a tendency to raise this
very question in the state in a way
which will interest many who are
more ooncerned with the upbuilding of
fine hospitals and sanitariums in the
state than they are in the rules of
local or district or even state medical
societies.
The chamberlain institution will
have the support of the newspapers of
the state, almost without exception, if
it shall decide to throw down tlie
glove.—Argus Leader, Sioux Falls,
Monday, Jan. 4, 1909.
HAVE PROSPEROUS YEAR.
Citizens of Redfield and Spink County
Have Had Fair Share of Prosperity.
The past year has been a prosperous
one for the citizens of Redfield and
Spink county. Crops this year were
very good on the average, and the
good prices at which the farmers wore
able to turn off the produce makes
thein In a very satisfied frame of
mind. Merchants of Redfield express
themselves as well satisfied with the
Ttar's business, and, all things con
sidered, it. has been the best business
year in the history of this part of the
state. In the line of building and im
provements things have not been in
active. There are now- in progress of
construction a new high school build
ing at a cost of $35,000 a new Con
gregational church which will cost, in
cluding furnishing, $25,000, and a
Masonic temple at a cost of about
$20,000. In addition to this, C. R.
Damuth has erected a two-story brick
office and store building, and 13. C.
Issenhuth has erected a large brick
automobile garage, said to be the best
in the state.
Contracts have been let. for the
construction of a new line of sower
into Turtle river east of the city, at
a cost of $20,000. This is the begin
ning of a new sewer system for Red
field, made necessary by the large
increase in population since the old
system was planned.
E. J. Blaln has acquired the prop
erty formerly owned by the Frater
nity Hall association of Humboldt ave
nue, and will erect a new two-story
office and store building, which will
be occupied by the Doyon and Wyc
koff department store. A number of
residences have also been contracted
for, to be built as soon as the building
fcason opens.
"GOD SAVE THE KING."
In a certain small English village
there were two butchers living on the
same street. One placarded his sau
sage at one shilling a pound, and the
rival promptly placed eight pence on
his card.
No. 1 then placed a notice in his
window saying that sausage under
one shilling could not be guaranteed.
No. 2's response to this was the an
nouncement, "I have supplied sau
sages to the king."
In the opposite window the follow
ing morning appeared an extra large
card bearing the words, "God Save
the King."
A French automomile that took part
In the New York-Paris run was taken
over recently to China, where the Duo

across it. He liked the looks of the
car as it was taken l'rom the steamer
and immediately bought it for his
own.
He had the chauffeur drive the car
up a steep incline to the top of the
wall that runs about Perkin and
then drove the car all ihe way around
of this wall. It was the first time
that a Seeing Pekin trip of this kind
had been taken.
Two million dollars' worth of bonds
