Supt. Cations Report:
From the Press & Dakotaian.

"The eighth annual report of the
superintendent of public instruction for
Dakota Territory has just been issued
from the office Of G.. F. Ma!lahan, elk
Point. 1t is complied by Hou. w. e.
Caon, territorial superintendent of pub
lie Instruction. The report embraces
returns from Burleigh, Bon Homme,
Bookings, Cass, Clay, Dawson, GIaud
Forks, Hutchinson, Hanson, Lake, Lin
coin, Moody. Minuebaha, Pembina, Rich
land, Traill, Turner. Union and Yankton
COMMITTEES. From these returncs Il series OF
elaborate statistics have been made up by
Supt. Cation, which show the exact con-
ditinn Of educational matters in the terri.
tory. The number OF pupils in the coun.
ties famed, between the ages of five and
twenty one years is, male 1906, female
5,390. One hundred male teachers and
l54 female teachers are employed on an
average compensation of $33,06 per
mouth for males and 500 so for females.
The number of school districts, is 800, OF
which five are working under the graded
system and the balance under the ungrad-
ed systein. The average cost OF the
tuition of each pupil is $1.55 per mouth.
The counties Of Armstrong. Brule, Law
renee and Stu,sman made No returns,
hence the superintendent is uiabie to
make a foil report. He is also impeded
in his work by inaccurate and partial
reports from many districts. arising from
the want Of proper blanks and n due ap-
prccia,ion of the Importance of the work.
Yet out of the mass of facts aud figures
Snpt. Cation has presented to the people
of Dakota n concise aid valuable report
and out of it much valuable information

Mob Law at POrtfaMdyilIc.

Messrs. Beggs & Murphy have for the
past two months been buying stock, and
have had that which they bought in the
northern part of this county, delivered
at Pmtlandyille; This has been q good
thing for the Portlandville folks for they
have paid out several thousand dollars
there, of which a part ut least has been
left in their town. On Monday Beggs
and Halcc went up there to receive and
pay for five carloads of hogs which were
to be delivered that day and the next.
Among the parties delivering hogs to
them on Tuesday, was a man whose note
IIancc had held for a long time, and to
whom he had extended every accomoda.
ton which was in his power to dc, but
by 50 doing the time had nearly expired
in which the note could be collected. Of
course Ilance wanted the party to do
something about the note, and he said
that if the note was renewed aud secured
he would give him another year in which
to pay it. This did not suit the fellow,
and all he would offer to do was to pay
a little cash and rcnew the note without
securing it. Of course this didn't suit
Hance and he told him he had been very
easy so far but cow he wanted it either
paid or secured or he wo1ld not pay him
the remainder on the hogs until it was
settled in some way At this the fellow
left AID went up town, but soon came
back and with HIM r.. II. Miller, Jim.
Ross, and about fifteen or twenty others
WHO jumped into the pen and proceeded
to let out tie hogs. There were two
gates to the pen and it kept Hsrce fly
ing around that pen like creased light
ming to keep the hogs in Just as he was
about used up llaLce is g BOD for six or
eight but he can't whip n whole town
Beggs came in with a rush and for Il time
held their own, but it got too hot for
them Sc they had tn give IN aud setttea us
the mob said. P~ortiandviile folks have
always shown a low mean sprint in their
dealings, and when they say that they
don't intend any Dakota man shall col,
lect a debt in their town" it looks as if
they lnteuded to keep their word good
in this, if it had to take a mob to do it.
There is no necessity for comment on
| this affair, we thiuk that the Portland
vile parties will probably he ashamed of
such work and if they are not, the loss
of the trade of 50 good a firm as Beggs &
Murphy will make them feel poorer in

Church Of that city. II Rev. Gerner has
tho idea that his mission in this world is
for the purpose of vilifylug aud tearing
down other christian churches in order
to build up a new tangled doctrine, as he
did on this OCCASION, we think the sooner

and the result Of it will be found in the
Herald OF the 10th inst. Among other
things he says: "the cake. basket contest
cost some Of the boys eight dollars and
u half, and that they had figured it up
every way and failed to iud where they
are to get their money back" This Is all
a mistake. The young gentleman who
took the largest amount Of stock in that
cake basket speculation, informs us that
he considers his money well invested.
He is very careful business man and we
have no doubt the investment will yield
him ample returns.
