ABERDEEN , S. D. , Doc. 3. ( Special. )
Senator Kyle left Thursday evening for
Washington , his health having been entirely
icstored. Asked In regard to probaolo
legislation In congress this session , he said :
"It Is likely we shall ho occupied very
largely with matters toucalng the late war
and the settlement of the Philippine ques
tion that Is , outslUe the routine apjuopr.a-
tlon bills. The discussion will bo exceedingly
interesting and protracted , as our whok
national policy la Involved , and It is yet
doubtful whether votes enough can be found
in the senate favorable to the expansion
proposition. Many senators who vigorously
upheld the president In his wish to annex
the Hawaiian Islands will be hostile to the
acquisition of the Philippines , as this In
volves us 1u the settlement of the eas.ern
question. I'oisonally I am not prepared to
my what position I shall occupy. I was an
ardent udrocato of the Monroe doctrine. At
first thought It seems to mo that the acquisi
tion of the Philippines will weaken our
j-osltlon as regards the Monroe doctrine , but
un are face to facelth a condition. Wo
did not expect this outcome of the war , and
must meet problems as they come. I hnve
no hesitancy In saying that our government
v 111 be equal to the emergency and we shall
eoo the Philippines placed under humane
In the olden days men
were physically , at least ,
worthy of the admiration of
n omen. It is a great big
something for a woman
feel that her husband
is truly a capable
and Intrepid pro
tector. It is a com
fort for her to feel
that he has the
physical stamina
and courage to de
fend her through
all the vicissi-
tildes of life.
Nowadays there
Is not much to ad
mire about the
man
from a physical
ntandpoiut. He maybe a moral anu a men
tal stout , but tliu flesh of ilMiealth is weak ,
utid lie is probably a physical coward. It is
not in nature for a sickly man to be a brave
man. His spirit may be willing but his
body is weak. That H the man's own fault.
Any man can be healthy who will pay a lit
tle common sense attention to his health
when he has it , and when he gets a little
out of horts , take the right remedy. Many
of the diseases that afflict mankind are
traceable directly to indigestion , torpidity
of the liver and impurities in the blood.
Dr. Picrcc'8 Golden Medical Discovery is
the greatest medicine for disorders of this
nature. It strengthens a utak stomach ,
corrects all disorders of the digestion , ( rives
edge to the appetite , invigorates the liver ,
purifies and enriches the blood and tones
up ami invigorates th : nerves. It searches
out disease germs , kills them and carries
them out of the system. It is the great
blood-maker , flesh-builder and nerve-tonic
nd restorative. It makes strong- , healthy
men out of weak , sickly invalids. Medi

PIERRE. S. D. , Deo. 3. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Populist , edited by Governor
Lee's private eecretary , today contains a
leading article In which It Is openly charged
that a conspiracy exists to steal the gov
ernorship and further states that the ca.a
will bo brought before Judge Oaffy and
charges him with "being equal to any party
emergency" and Intimates that the supreme
court will sustain him and that the talk
of contest has "not been without encour
agement from higher sources. " The whole
article Is a bitterly partisan's creed In
which every republican official mentioned Is
charged with crime or criminal Intent.

DEADWOOD , S. D. . Dec. 3. ( Special. )
On December 1 the season for killIng -
Ing doei In the state expired and
the law In the Dlack Hills will be
rigidly enforced by the game wardens.
There are two months In the year under the
new law In which deer can be killed , from
the first day of October to the first day of
December. Every fifth year is set aside ,
during which tlrao no deer are to bo killed.
The first year under the new law In which
no drer are to be klfied will be In 1901. The
deer In the Dlack Hills are very numerous
and EOiue ot the farmers would like very
much to see them killed off. They arc very
tame In winter and already reports have
come In where they have broken Into the
fields and eaten the farmers' hay and grain.
The deer hunters have had unusual luck
this fall In bagging the game in the Illlri.

the Chicago Tribune , that this na'.iCii IB rapIdly -

Gasoline Is the factor which Is developing

and later perfected by the Cosmopolitan In

Inexperienced dealers have not been madi
to understand the difference between uian
ties. The mantle made for use on an artl
ficlal Incandescent gas light was never In
tended to be used upon gasoline lights. Thi
gas Is so distinctly different In each casi
that radical changes are necessary to tin
perfection of a mantle fcr use upon the iu
candescent light generated from gasoline.
Mr. Benzlon , probably one of the bcs
posted men In the country upon the llgn
question , says that "fully one-fourth of thi
mantles used upon gasoline gas lights breal
before they are used the second time , fo
the reason that they are ordinary mantle :

Incandercent lights are made possible h ;

OffiOlS OU1ET AT LINCOLN
Boar of the Senatorial Conflict Hu Now
Dwindled to a Whisper.
NO NOISE MADE BY ANY ASPIRANT
Whatever Work In Coin * On ! tlclnit
Faulted Silently nnd Surface In
dication * Give Sio Sign of
the Comluff Straggle.
LINCOLN' , Dec. 3. ( Special. ) To the or
dinary observer there has been very little
change In the senatorial situation In the
last ten days , and whatever work Is being
done by the candidates Is on the quiet or
der , so that there are very few ripples on
the political surface. The lobbies and oil
rooms have not yet opened up at Lincoln ,
and the members of the legislature who
have been In the city were here on per
sonal business and made short visits. House
ot Hall , Haller of Washington and Fisher
of Dawes , candidates for the spcakershlp ,
have been here to look over the battle
ground , each being confident that the place
will go to some man who lives north ot
the 1'latte and that the chances were good
or his own selection.
The members elect who have bs n Inter-
lowed all express the opinion that It will
not bo wise for the republicans to go Into
\ caucus and nominate a senator under the
najorlty rule , at least until the situation
ias assumed dcllnlte form and public opln-
on has had a chiuco to cxpreis line If on
ho merits of 'tho candidates who start out
with votes. If there Is a strong sentiment
n favor of an early caucus , it Is keeping
very quiet for the present.
Economy In Imperative.
There seems to be a universal Idea among
ho members that the session must be a
record-breaker In the matter of economy ,
and that while no Institution or depart
ment must bo crippled , all unnecessary per
quisites must be cut off and the business
of the entire session be carried on with
.he least possible expense to the state. This
eads to the frequent expression of the opin
ion that the appropriation bills will be acted
upon In February or early In March and that
when the sixty days are up the members will
> o ready to quit and go home. It has
> een a matter of complaint that the appro
priations for the various state Institutions
lave always been held back until the last
moment in order that members might be
clubbed Into line on other bills , and that
this was possible because so many of the
members are anxious to see the Institutions
n their particular localities well favored , or
ire under the Influence of largo lobby of
employes from those Institutions that al
ways congregates about the capUol b.illdlng.
It is somewhat a matter of congratulation
that the Institutions are now In the h.imls
of the party that represents the minority
In ths legislature , and that the official lobby
will be composed entirely of pop.rats who
will cut a very small figure when 'they ' seek
to overawe the republican majority. The
work of the popocratlc campaign committee
In telling Just exactly what It costs to run
the various Institutions has simplified mat
ters very much , leaving very few details
open for discussion along -that line when
the legislature gets in working order.
Gcttlnir the Halls neatly.
The two legislative halls at the capltol
building arc being placed in condition for
the impending session. This necessitates the
beating of many yards of carpet and the
sweeping out of much dust and rubbish.
The "state board of Janitors , " which cut
; uch an active figure in the campaign , is
mostly keeping out of sight while this real
work Is being done , and the Job of reno
vating the second and third storlce of the
building Is under the direct supervision o !
L , A. Beltzer , who held a responsible posi
tion among the employes of the last legis
lature.
C. W. Deal , who was defeated for reelection
tion as senator from the Ouster county dis
trict , la in the city finishing the law
studies which were begun last year while
he was here drawing pay from the state
as a member of the "sniffling committee. "
He expects to graduate with the university
law class next year.
Senator Reynolds of Chadron was here
luring the week selecting his seat and other
wise making preparations for the coming
session. Ho says that one of the measures
that he will advocate especially will bo a
hill looking to the reappralscment of the
state lands. Ho believes that in the west
ern part of the state in many cases the
old appraisement was much too high.
Palmer Dlake , representative-elect from
Johnson county , was In the city today , and
. as very free to speak his mind on ques-
llns relating to the organization of the
house. He said ttyit he would be for Paul
Clark of Lancaster for speaker and Hayward -
ward for senator. Ho reported that the
attempt of Tom Majors to control Johnson
county has resulted In a total failure.
Iilncolti Iinillote ,
The regular meeting ot the Lancaster
County Teachers' association was held at
the court house to.lay. High School Inspec
tor Crabtrce gave an instructive talk on
"Discipline in the School Room , " nnd Rev.
L. P. Luilden of the Hoard of Education
epoko in regard to discipline on ths play
ground at the forenoon session. The aftcr-
nocn was do\otcd to a lecture on "The His-
pano-Amcrlc-an War , " by Prof. Fling. Good
music served to liven the program of seri
ous subjects.
Derris Inscho , a youth under the a e ol
IS years , was arraigned before Judge
Holmes In district court this motnlug and
was sentenced to a term In the reform
school. Ho had been guilty of breaking Into
the depot at Bennett , nnd also of stealing
a horse. The lad said ho had a father In
Missouri , but that ho had he-en thrown on
his own resources which led to his bavins
had a very hard time. He promised to re
form If he were not given n penitentiary
sentence.
