To Settle Boundaries. Bears of Burt today Introduced H. R. 858, providing for the appolntment of a com- mission of three by the governor of the Mate at & salary of $10 a day for not to ex- veed twenty days to act jointly with simi- lar commissions from South Dakota and lowa ip determining the boundary line be- Iween these states where there are dis- crepancies caused by the changiag channel ot the Missouri river. South Dakota has al- ready passed a bill providing for the ap- pointment of its commission, and the legis- lature was apprisea of this fact today. It Is believed Iowa, though failing last year to appoint & commission, will do so at its next legislature fn 1604. Sears was the muthor of all three bills making this provision for the three states ammed before, s ‘ApporFtioninent Bill Appears. McAllster of Deuel today in the house in- troducéd e reapportionment bill which was published fn full exclusively by The Bee last Friday. No changes Mave been made in either senatorial or representative dlstricts since the bill was givei to the public by The Bee. As was then pointed out, the bill increases the number of representatives from Douglas county from nine to thirteen and senators trom three to four, glving the metropolitan county seventeen, instead of twelve mem- bers in the legislature. It combines a small area of the western part of Doug- las with Saunders county in a new sema- torial district and gives it one member. The bill reduced . the total number of wgnatorfal districts from thiriy to twenty- vight. and increases the number of rep- resenfative districts from sixty-seven to seventy-four, but leaves the number of Members the same as at present, 100 rep- resentatives sud thirty-three senators. Lancaster gets six representatives, a n of two, but retains the same number »f senators, two. Counties like Richardson, which have but a small population and large representation, are most affected. Bichardson has & population of 19,000, with three members in the house. The basis repreésentation ntendéd by law is 10; 100. Thus under the present law Richard- son would scarcely be entitled to two. The new bill. gives Richardson only two wlombers in-{he house. The purport - of the Lill is to equalize as nearly as possible without gerrymandering. Legislative Gossip. One of the bills recommended for passage by the commiitee on judiclary was H. R. 241, by.Riggs of Douglas, amending the present law regulating the publication of liquor llcenses. The present law provides that these licensés shall-be publshed in the newspaper of the largest circulation, where- as the bill proposes that amy paper in “elties of the mutropolitan class” of 5,000 tly circulation and that in cities of the first class having a population of more than 40,000, and less than 100,000 inhabitants any paper of 8,000 daily circulation shall ba allowed to print these notices of liquor licenses. . 5 The WIl'is belng'promoted in the inter- est /Ot thosd newspapers whose limited circulations prevent them.from legitimately publighing these notites” under the present law. It is held that if passed the biil will infilet hardships upon the public, as well As refiutal loon keepers, drugst: wholedale liquor dealers.

It furthermore restricts arbitrary tmpositions for Bolitical purposes by boards of fire and police commissioners or any set of individ- uals Whose duty it shall be to make these contrabts.

LINCOLN, Feb. 2.—(Spectal)—The sen- | ate was up against parliamentary law and pverything else that ‘tended to.confuse it today. It -all -happsfed over -the discus- slon, of the’ amendghent to 8.

After being recommitted at the morning session the b]l was reported back to the committee, of the whole At the after- noon seasion, with its former recommenda- tion, After much wrangling the commit- tee of the whole recommended that.the bill be amended that six commissioners shall merve one year and three shall #efrve two years. The contention wae started in the early part of the morning session when Ander- son of Saline moved to recommit. This was voted down and O’'Nefll moved a cull of the house. Lieutenant Governor: McGil- ton held that this required a vote, after | the seven members had seconded the mo- tfon, as_prescrived by the rules. Harrison objécted to the vote. The motion was car- ried and’ the aftaches of the senate began to clear tfie gallery and floors of spectators. During this Sheldon of Cass moved that the call be raised. 3 O'Nelll rose to a point of order ‘and the chair held the point mot well taken. The motion to raise the call of the house was put and the chalrman decided on a viva voce vote that the motion was lost. After the announcement Howell of Doug- las, whosn temper by this time was some- what ruffied, angrily demanded an ays and no vote. The chalr ruled him out of order. Howell appealed from the decislon of the chair. The chalr was sustained, with only one vote recorded- against the declsion. While under a call of the house a caucus was held and it was found the bill could not be carried with the emergency clause. O'Neill then moved that it be recommitted. This was carrfed unanifdously. At the afternoon’ sedsion (he judiclary committee refurned the bill with its former recommendations. | < Howell rose to a point of order and sald it was the original bill that had been committed, and that the committée had reported back on the engrossed bill. The chair held the pofnt mot well taken. After mfeh discussion Day got In the amendment gwhich finally carried, but not, however, umtil Hall’of Douglas had ex- pressed himself upon the action of the senate. He sald: “The action of this senate is a direct slap at the supreme court. In-the orfginal bill we had a saving clause for the supreme court to reduce the number the commissioners. We asked the court if its' members would do- tnis, wnd the reply was, ‘We will do our duty.

Mr. Létlich {s ifi charge of Methodist missions in Utah and resides in Salt Lake City. He 1s in Washington as the repre- sentative of the Minlsters' assoclation of Salt Lake. His statement is sworn to. Mr. Leilich declares that Smoot is a polygamist and row has a plural wife, al- though he deems it inexpedient to give the malden name of ‘the Woman at this time. His charge on this point is as follows: That the sald Reed §moot s a polygamist and that singe the admission of Utah' into the union of states he. although then and thero having & legul wife, married a plural wife in the state of Utah, in violation of the 1&Ws and 'compacts hereinbefore de- scribed, and ince such plural or polyge- mous marriage, the said Reed Smoot has Jived and cohabited with both his legal wife and his plural wife in the state of Utah and elsewhere, as occasion offered, and that the only record of such plurai marriage is the secret record made and kept by the authorities ot the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which secret record fa in_the exclusive custody and control of the first presidency and the quorium of the twelve aposties of the said church, of Which the said Reed Bmoot is one, and s beyand the: control or power of the protestants.

' Your protestant respectfully asks that the senate of the United States, or ita ap- propriate committee, compel the firat presi- hdency and the quorum of the twelve apostles and the sald Reed Smoot to pro- duce such seoret record for the considera- tion of the senate. Your protestant says that he is advised by counsel that it is in- expedient at this time to give further par- ticulars concerning such plural ma; and its resuits, or the place in which it was solemnized, of the maiden name of the plural wife, Mr. Lellich aleo asserts that “President Joseph Smith, the president of the Mormon church, Is 1iving 1n open polygamy and has a child born to him by his ‘plural wite' as late as 1898." And also that “President Lorenzo Snow lived and' @ied In ‘the practice of polygamy and polygamots e€ohabitation,” and that his plural wife, Minnie Jénsen Snow, bore him a child as late as the ‘winter of 1806-97.” Soon after the senate met today Mr. Hale (Me.) reported the naval appropriation bill and gave notieé that he would call it up tomorrow. ~ A bill passed authorizing the Commetcikt chib of Topeks, Kan.. to construct a ‘dain ‘dcross the Kansas river within the counties of Shawnee and ‘Wabaunsee, Kansas. i Consideration "of ' the siindry eivil bill then was: ressmed..

Bter- ling 'Morton in recognition of his varied at- tainments and the magnitude of his public services as ploneer, . territorial legislator, territorial secretary, territorial governor and _member of the cabinet, and in com- memoration of his private life, his superior intellect, his integrity and courage. his loyalty ‘as a citizen and his splendid ex- ample of menliness. Be It also resolved, That we especially pay tribute to his memory as the author and originator of Arhor day, which In itselt merits and warrants honorable fcme. Be it also resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be recorded in the minutes of s body, and that a copy be sent to his sister and his sons at Arbor Lodge. Pharmucy Board Arraigned.

The witness was glven the fig ures_as introduced by the officers of the Neébraska Telephone company and was asked if the flgures justified a 6 per cent dfvidend. The witness thought not and stated that if the company falled to set aside 10 per cent for depreciation it was not dolng business on a business basis. He sald the flat rate was in vogue in the coun- try, but admitted that the Bell people were endeavoring to introduce 'the measured service. - ‘When asked about exchange of business between companies, the witness stated it was just a question of one tompany reap- ing the frults of the other's -work. Mr. Meany cited several instanées where the indépendent- companies had been compeiled to ask for an increase of rate after being established. He said the independent com- panies could use the lines of the Bell com- pany by paying the rate as charged others.

The senator said be had been ab- sent when the report was agreed to, and that as It appeared that the senate amend- ment for an industrial school at Wahpeton, N.

The republican leaders in deciding force this case to a vote did so with & per- fect realization of the which would follow if the democrats car- ried out their filibuster threats and have arranged a program to reduce the minority’ obstructive power to a minimum, as far as the appropriation bills are concerned. This 1s to be accomplished by a special rule which has been tentatively prepared by which all the preliminary parliamentary steps for getting appropriation bills with senate amendments intu conference can be cut oft. But later this afternoon republic- ans interested in the public buflding bill threatened to vote against the rule umless it made provision for that bill. This disturbing factor in the situation wi not. straightened out. tonight. The republican program also includes a proposition -to continue the legislative day of today until noon, March 4, in order to obviate the long and tedious work of ap- the journal against flibustering A recess was taken tonight until 11 to- morrow morning, and a rule has been pre- pared which hereafter will give a motion to recess precedencé over a motion to ad- journ.

D., Feb. 26.—(8pecial,)— Gregory county, South Dakota, was organ- ize@ about four years ago with Fairfax aé the coungy séat. Recently, on account of the prospects for the opening of that part of Rosebud Indian reservation within its borders, a new town named Bonesteel has sprung Intd existence as a rival of the county seat, which Is situated abdut seven miles southeast of Bonesteel. Fairfax peo- nle, as a last resort to hold the county sea succeeded in having %he county commi sloners call an electjon for the purpase of 18suing bonds, to bulld a courthouse. A ma- | Jority vote of the county is mecessary to carry the question. Tuesday was election day, and each town vied with the other ip gotting out the voters all over the county, and when the results was determined it was found that Bonesteel had won out and Dbad defeated the bond proposition by a majority of 66 votes. Indinn and Other Votes. The election was settled, but the fun | had just commenced. Fairfax alleged that Bonesteel had drawn upon the Indian res- | ervation for votes. They alleged their | Kiok-As<He-Jumps, Sucks-As-He-Bites and | Chiet Red Horse and the aged warrior, Milk, and their cohorts had voted not once, but twice, yea, three times, and that in or- der to show thelt kindliness of heart to- ward Bonesteel had caused their squaws to fold their blankets buck style, against the bonds. One exuberant Fairfax partisan sald that\he counted one squaw voling four times. These allegations are denled by the Bonesteeleans; they say that ihe Indian Las & right to fote; that he' a cltizen of the great state of South Da: kota, and has been for these many moons, and that when a question such as bond- ing him, his ponies, squaws, dogs, oxen and asses arises, the Indian nas a right to de- clare himselt and vote his convictions; sald Bonesteeleans also allege that in a tight fight Ifke yesferday’s, you can't tell a Wquaw from a buek; that in the trial of Colonel Forsyth for killing squaws at the | battle of Wounded Knee, it was clearly demonstrated that in a fight not even a skilled plainsman could distinguish between & buck or a squaw, owing to a similarity of dress. ‘So if wny squaws voted in Bone- steel they are guilty of dressing in men’s or bucks' clothes for the purpose of de- !laying and hindering Fairfax in securing $6,000 worth of bonds for courthouse pur- pofes. Comes Info Court. The trouble did net end here. The Fair- fax people, through W. R. Day, ex-deputy sherift of .the county, made complaint against Henry Abouretzke, and the sherift cameé in Wednesday night, about 1 o'clock and arrested Abouretvke, hurried him off 0 Fairfax, locked hiza'th a room in a hotel and early in the ritng & preliminary hearing was had, A zke bound over, and when the Homesteel attorneys, w."i Backus, arrived:in , Lanting for the lost Bonest bond of $300 release. This bonll promptly_ turaf and ‘Abouretzke réturned hom réception’ awalted him, and N hero of the hour. b Troubls did not ‘énd here. Ten more war- rants are out for prominent citizens of Bonesteel, and thirty are out for Indians, and the sheriff of this county will be & busy man for days to come. Suck-As-He-Bites is on a spion kop on the classic banks of Ponca creek; he dreams of the day when Fairfax will be no longer the coundy seat, but that the county capitol will be mear his claim and enhance the value of his property of every kind. When he's awake he holds his old repeater close to his side, for he knows the sheriff is after him. Kick-As-He-Jumps paces the floor of his tepee, expecting each minute that the cold, clammy hand of the sheriff will slap him ol the back, and a voice, “You are my pris- oner,” fill his American ear. Walting for the Attack. Bonesteel 1s. fortified. No more oitizens will be stolen from its iacorporated pre- cinct. Committees have been appointed to watch for Fairfaxites and keep them under survelllance while in Bonesteel. An ar- ray of legal talent has been engaged to the: lagal battle. Hon. Edwin M. Startcher, county judge; Theodore Landmann, sf s attomey, and J. H. Vallette, all of Fairtax, will. stand up for their town. Bonesteel pins its falth on W. B. Backus, Charles Melner, ex: attorney, d French & Orvis of Yankton. When the next éfrcult court meets there will be a time that is a time, and no one, at the present writing, seems to know just what will be the out- come. It is conceded that Fairfax will lose the county seat in a short time, and that the same will be located many miles west of its present location. An extra supply of bonds has been ordered sent to Bonesteel, and when all its citizens and Indlans have been arrested and the supply is exhausted they will order more.

Gizle Stick to The eight girls in the telephone exchange building across the alley from the burning Pike bulfling were badly frightened as the clouds of smoke rolled about the building. The exchange rooms are on the top floor of a six-story building. For two hours | they piuckily stuck to their posts. When the flames were blazing on their windows they were ordered out by the fremen. Later, however, they returned to “their calls” and when the large day force of girls came on duty they fearlessly went to the eixth floor for duty, although the fire raged, all around them.
