iiii mm lys I. A**k'. rt 1/ W Capital N*w». Special to the New Era. Pierre, February 87th. As the session draws near a olose aach day's calendar grows somewhat larger than that of the preceding day, but, in spite of the fact that but four days re main for the consumatiou of the business before the assembly, today is the first day either house has had other than an af ternoon session. The house met thfo morning at ten and held their regular afternoon session also. However, with this extra time they did not succeed in •clearing their calendar and it is likely that tomorrow will see that body in session in the morning, a'ternoon and evening. The sen fete met this evening and held a short session of about an hour's duration. The caucus bill was passed and a rule adopted where by no bills can be introduced after tomorrow except as com mittee bills or by unanimous consent of the senate. Business is being crowded through and little of excitement has broken in upon the monotony of the routine work this week. A little excitement was occasioned in the enate Saturday afternoon by .the introduction of a protest by ShrQber and Cord ill against the ^report, of the committee on rules on the primary petition. They '4 asked that the protest be printed f, in the journal, but as it cast re flections upon the committee it $T""could not be permitted. A mis understanding between two gen ii ators came near being the cause of a rough house, one gentleman goingr so far as to take off his coat for tMfe fray, when the was settled satisfactorily. Ths Deadwood waterworks bill which was passed at the early part of the session, and which was pushed by Hon, Kirk Phil lips, upon becoming a law stirred up quite a ferment in the Hills and a large delegation, from all parts of the Hills except Dead wood, came to the capital last week to insist on the repeal of the law. The house acted upon the matter on Saturday and upon an explanation of the majority of the Black Hills delegation passed a bill repealing the law. On roll call only four members voted against the repeal. The question is now before the senate and will be given a hearing soon. Upon the return of the chem ists. from the Kansas oil fields last week, the oil bill was again 1 In the Repair Dept., I can do any kind of Jewelry and Watch Repair ing.

This bill has passed the house and there ?s little doubt but that it will pass the senate, The chemists' report was in fa vor of such a law. Mr. Satre, of Roberts county is working hard to secure the passage of his bill providing that the clerk of the supreme court shall receive a specified salary of $1,800, and all fees of the office be turned into the state treasury He makes no provision in his bit for the salary of a deputy clerk, which salary the clerk is now obliged to pay from his office rues. The bill appears to be oc casioning Mr. Satre more worry tban any other interested per son. The foot ball bill came before the house at their morning ses sion today rnd was passed by an almost unanimous vote. The house seems to have a very strong desire to go on record, when it is a sure thing that the measure under consideration will be killed in the senate. With their names on record to satisfy the enemies of foot ball, they think it an easy thing to explain that had there been any danger of the bill passing the senate they would have voted the other way. This may fool some of the foot tall boys, but not all. Washington's birthday was fittingly celebrated by a joint session of the two branches of the state legislature. A pleasant program was rendered and everyone went to their homes the J^pppier for having been present at %he exercises. THo speakers of the day were: in their order, Carroll, Payne, Holman and Branson, and the subjects: Lin coln, McKinley, Washington and Our Country, respectively.

The special seed train furnish ed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad arrived here Monday morning at 11:80, jnst a few minutes ahead of schedule time. While the advertisements had announced that the lectures would take place in the cars, yet other airangementa had been deemed necessary on acooont of the prospects for a big crowd, and Kennedy hall was used in stead. Prof. Wheeler, botanist at the Brookings agricultural college,- was the first speaker. He urged the neoessity of good seed, and then by chart illustra tions showed how snch seed could be judged. The plumper and the heavier the grain or ber ry was the stronger the seed would be, and the better the plant would -withstand adverse circumstances during the grow ing season. He strongly recom menied the testing of all seeds or gr&in sovfn and especially the corn by indi ridual ears mod the discarding of the butts sad tips of all ears. For smutin wheat he recommend ed that the grain be treated with solution of one pound of for maldehyde dissolved in forty-five gallons pi water being sure that each individual kernel has bam wet with the solution. 9 that great good win com* irom the eCofftmf the f&rooi ,r i 4 aggregate for 1905. 1 WdV •nHama ,,v ..11" ~£p** I ^^^^^waes«a «T» no.
