my other cause.


Should there be anything irregu-
lar in the proceedings Of the com
mission then will he the time to
complain and then there will be an
opportunity for accusation and re-
dress; but until that time it becomes
every fir minded man who is dis
posed to act fairly and treat their
fellows with the respect due them,
to keep quiet. Let the commission
first act, and il they throw them
selves open TO just criticism no II
can object to public or private CEN
sure; but if they satisfy the mnjori-
ty, their mission will have been
completed and all future trouble
ended.
The men composing this commits
sion are all honorable men and j. is
unfai. and unjust to accuse them Of
some fraud or corruption they may
do ut some future time.

Educational Matters.

The territorial superintendent de-
sires to inform all school districts in
the counties where districts are con-
tinued that they should hold their
annual meetings under the law, and
vote such taxes NJ they think neces-
sary, Ms heretofore. The officers
elected should be chosen TO hold un-
til June 30th, 1884, if their term
should expire in a year under the
present law. The new school year
ends at that date. This applies es-
pecially to Hutchinson, Yankton,
Clay, Union, Turner, Lincoln, Min
nehaha, Moody, Lake, Br"kings,
Deuel., Cass, Barnes, Walsh, Pen!i-
ma and Lawrence counties. In the
other counties the levy Of taxes il
not necessary, since the township
school beard will be chosen in time
to do that. They had better elect
officers, however, 70 fill all vacancies
since these will have duties t.
perform. All district officers quail
lily as heretofore, the treasurer by
bond and oath, the director and
clerk by oath, and all then arr
filed with the county clerk, and no
| with the district clerk.
The school law is in the printers
| hands and will he issued within
three weeks. Blanks will be sen
gu, as rapidly as possible. The su
perintendent requests newspapers t.
copy this.

Of 1912. She was born in 1890 at Landau,
then in possession Of France. In 1910 she
was married to George Hatzler, sergeant
Of cavalry in the French army. Scarcely
had their honeymoon passed when her
husband received orders to join the mem

unwilling to part from him, determined
to 90 also. Her hair was cut short and
the female apparel changed for soldiers

through the whole campaign. riding bv
the side OF her husband She was present
at all the principle battles and at the burn
ing of Moscow. Through the promotion
of her husband to the rank of staff Off
Ger she had frequent opportunities to see
the great Emperor, and on several oc-
casons converted with him. Her husband
having been injured by an accident, they
became separated from the main body Of
| the army and for nine weeks she dragged
him on hand sledge over the frozen
ground.
A guides treachery delivered them into
the hands of Cossacks and they were held

in time to undergo all the sufferings and

almost annihilated Napoleon's forces.
Through all the vicssitudes her sex re-
manned undiscovered. In 1916 she emf
grated TO this country, and lived for II
wears in Fort Delaware while it was being
built by Major Sanders. Up to the time
of her death she retained full use of all
her faculties, and never had need even of
Spectacles. 1t is said of her that since she
returned from the battlefield in 1914 she
never suffered in single instance from

and French fluently. and had a mastery OF
Russian and Italian. She leaves three
grandchildren and ten great-grandchil-
iren.
