I'lKUIlK, S. D., I'cb. 2. (Special Telo
prm.J An Investigation of the law which
provides for the Ikmrd of Control of the
Soldiers' home shows tho results of ruth
legislation Ht tho oloso of the session.
Tho law wag approved Miirrh 4, 1S85. ami
provides for the appointment of two motn
bcre of tho board for two years, two for
four yearn and one for nix years, it was
tho evident intention to make all appoint
ments, except tho first ones, for six years,
but that portion of tho bill fni such a pro.
vision was left out and tho subsequent
tippolntmcnts, which hnvo all been for six
ytnrs, wero not under tho provisions of
the law.
This leaven the last of the Uvo appointees
simply In tho position of holdovers and
appointments to fill ihelr places would ho
good at any time, as they were appointed
four years ngo under what would be the
two-year terms.
A bill was Introduced In tho seanlo to
day to cure this defect and when It has
passed (lovcrnor I lorried will reappoint
tho entire board as It now stands, giving
the populist members. Vatiosdel of Yank
ton and (lundurson of Vermillion, tho two
year appointments, to which they believed
they wero yet entitled.
A Joint session of tho appropriation com
nilttees of both houses has decided to make
no appropriation for nn exhibit nt lluffalo
this year, but tho report to ttial enect win
not go to tho houses until tho Monday
hfSslOP.
In tho house todny tho principal bills In
troduced were: To legalize tho giving of
surety bonds by public olllcors and making
the feo a charge against the public; to
reieal the law prohibiting sale of arms
and ammunition to Indians nnd halfbreeds,
and allowing counties of more than 20.000
population to elect eight Justices of tho
peace, which Is a Lawrence county meas
ure. Kverett attempted today to again
pet up tho codification bill for tho pur
pose of finally killing It, but was ruled out
of order by tho speaker.

A communication from tho governor of
Nebraska was read asking for n Joint com
mission of three from each state to set
definitely tho boundary Hues between tho
two states.
An at V'npt to secure an adjournment over
uoxt week failed to go through. Tho bill to
prevent tho salo of adulterated linseed oil
pusBod, as did tho resolution memorializing
the members of congress to sccuru national
aid for tho maintenance of tho School of
Mines, while the bill for county circulating
libraries was killed and tho wolf bounty
bill put over.
The senate bill to appropriate $31,2.11 to
reimburse counties and persons for ex
pense of bringing troops homo from San
Francisco passed.
In the scnato tho afternoon was given
over to talk. Tho Nebraska boundary com
munication was given u reading and tho re
port of the Judiciary committee for the ap
pointment of an Investigating committee to
look luto tho charges mndo by llovernor Leo
In his message brought up and called out
considerable opposition, especially on tho
part of Sweet of Hutchinson, who attempted
to tuck an nmrn'duient to It for an appro
priation of $10,000 for tho purpose of de
feating it. On Until voto it carried by 32 to
f, Sweet belug excused from voting. Tin'
llvo votc3 against It cntno from the popu
lists, who wero solidly oppoted to tho In
vestigation after denouncing alleged "ro
publican crookedness" for tho last four
years. They evidently did not desire an In
vostlgatlon of their churges, preferring that
they should stand as charges alune.
Tho sonuto then went Into committed of
tho whole for discussion of the oil Inspoc
tlou bill, which settled down Into a Joint
debate between Senator Sweet and tho
chemists of the State university and tho oil
company.

The roof projects u short distance from

"moonshine" whisky to those whom tht.
occupant did not know or whom ho was

of tho loophole after the payment therefor
had been pased In to him he could remain
concealed and thus not be Identified b

of.
In emergencies tho loophole could be used
for taking observations of the Immediate
vicinity and If occasion demanded he could
poke tho barrel of his rifle out of tne open

habitation with a hostile purpose. When
arrested by Deputy Marshal Somcrs ho waj
taken unawares and did not have an op
portunity to resist. In his crudo homo was
found n quantity of "moonshine" whisky.
Several gallons of the liquor was In casks

llnelor for Major,
In the event of nn election In the spring
democrats are figuring on candidates.
Oeorge I'arks was pushed forward for n fow
days, but now tho tide seems to be towards
Tom lloctor. He will, however, have to dl
vide tho honors with James 11. Uulla, who
Is also being pushed by his friends. Whllo
l'nrks has been a resident of the city for n
long time ho has never been n candidate.
Doth lloctor and Uullu some up regularly
every year or two for sotno office, and as
they generally manage to get what they go
after friends of both say that the next mayor
of South Omnha will be a democrat. If Hoc
tor cannot be nominated for mayor ho will
take his old Job ot city treasurer, so li Is
reportid, leaving the Held clear for llulla on
tho mayoralty proposition, Parks Is known
to be tho candidate of tho corporations
and members of labor unions asserted yes
terday that his namo would not bo consid
ered for ii moment in convention, In caso
one Is held.
The republicans seem to be taking little
Interest In tho proposed election, ns many
bollevo that tho present officers will hold
over, even In the event that the new char
ter Is passed, and therefore candidates aro
slow In announcing themselves.
ill ill O pi' I'll limine
During the last few days there has been
considerable talk about the proposition to
raise a bonus for thu erection of un opera
hofso at Twenty-fourth nnd M streets.
Whllo (ho movement Is generally com-
mended. It appears to some business men
that It would be better to ralso this fund
and use It In securing factories ami other
Industries for South Omnha. A hotel Is
suggested Instead of an opera house. There
Is no apparent desire to throw cold water
on the project, but many suggestions aro
dally made as to how tho fund. If ralBed
could bo put to advantage where the ro
suits would presumably bo of greater benefit
to tho community at large than the erec
tion of nn opera house.

Omnha wholesale dealers In lumber aro
finding much dtlllculty lu securing sufllcleut

nil cilicH of tho middle west como the
same complaint. Tho greatest hardship Is
experienced In obtaining dimension lumber
that Is, lumber two Inches or moro In
thickness. uno of tho Omnha dealer.),
speaking of this condition, said:
"Tho yollow plno trndo of tho west Is
controlled practically by ten mill owners.
There aro a fow more mills In the district
which supply tho trndo of this territory,
but they cut little llguro In tho trade. Theso
mills havo been so crowded with orders
during tho fall and eurly winter that they
aro refusing to 'take moro at tho present
time, and if existing conditions continue It
will bo several months beforo they can
1111 tho orders now on tile."
Naturally, this condition is caiiFtng thn
dealers to turn their attention to other
localities and Omnha wholesalers havo vis
ited tho mills of tho northwest to ascer
tain if they can scruro relief thoro.
In br'dgo work this scarcity of
yellow plno will bo particularly felt this
spring, and It Is probable that tho building
trades will also suffer. So far as known
tho Omaha wholesalers have enough stock
on hand, or have sent In thoir orders early
eiuugh to handlo all nf tho business In
sight, and they mny be uble to fill all
orders until tho congestion at tho mills Is
relieved. Thero Is no Indication of a cornei
or a combination to decreaso tn cutput. and
the rush at the mills Is attributed tn tho
general prosperous conditions of tho west.
