was subjected to the most powerful telescope.

lives near Golden Lake, after short absence
from his home, returned, and going to his barn
found that two of his best horses had been
ripped open with knife-one Of them dead
by some wretch who evidently had some Crude

this.-MayrilLe Tribune.

The werst storm of the winter occurred
Wednesday afternoon, and for while it ap-
peared as though we were going to have a
real blizzard, such as we read about in Min

was such day as one would prefer being by a
cozy fire rather than riding on the prairie with
out buffalo coat.

The Springer Bill.


Tho st. Paul Globe furnishes the following
statistics in regard to the bill recently intro
duced by Representative Springer to divide
Dakota on the Missouri river, which will be
read with interest:
"The bill OF Congressman Springer for state
hood east Of the Missouri river is beginning to
receive attention in the territory and is evident
ly growing in favor on account of Its liberal
provision and tho fact that it involves no need
less delay, and would bring in state within
less than year. AS it leaves the river in
Emmons county to strike north, there are no
exact figures to show what it puts on either
side Of the line but very clese estimates put,
the population Of the proposed territory Of
Lincoln as IS, ,437, leaving for the state Of Da-
kota sS2, 173. Acres Of improved land in Lin
coin, 27O, 1852; in the State G, 290, 596; value Of
farm lands in Lincoln, $6,O2l, ,49l; in the State,
$3.50, O,746,427. It will be seen that the figures
run as about Ito 26. These figures indicate
that about all the taxpaying region and popu-
lation fitted for statehood would be included in
the state. An excellent provision of this bill is
believed to be that admitting the annexation
to the State Of the reservations when the In-
dian titles are extnguished. The practical ef-
feet Of this no doubt would eventually be that
that the vast agricultural regions now claimed
Ivy the Indians would become part OF state
with identity Of interests, while the stock and
mining sections of the Black hills would go to
Wyoming, and Bismarck would be the perlna-
nent capital of a territory north of the 46th
parallel mainly, some 25Ox2OO miles in extent.
This measure will Of course excite bitter an
tagonism in a number Of localities having
schemes not likely to be furthered by 1t, bat
if submitted to the people by itself many be-
| lieve it would receive approval"

An Inportant circular. 4

An Important CtrCul0
A. Sheridan Jones, superintendent Of public
instruction for Dakota, has issued the follow
ing circular, addressed to the county superin-
tendent Of Kingsbury county, which we deem
Of sufficient Importance to the public to publish:
OLIvET, Dak., Dec. 8, 1885.
Dear Sir-Yours Of Nov. SOth, inclestng 81
petition Of patrons Of school No. s, Of Hariand
school township, and notice Of appeal, Is re-
ceived and the matter has been duly considered.
The petition is dated July 25th, and asks the
township board toemploy s. j. Johns as teach
er Of said school, and is signed BY twelve per
sons, only i've Of whom have children Of
school age. the other seven not being vsters
under the township school law, at modera-
tors meeting. This petition also asks that
school begin on or about November 10th,
resolution to the same effect, both as regards
the teacher aud the time it was desired to have
the school begin, having been adopted by the
patrons OF the school at the regular annual
meeting in August. The township board en-
ployed different teacher than the one petit
toned for and sent her, there to begin the
school at different time than that designated
ia the petition and resolution. The teacher re-
manned in the school house for one month with
no pupils to teach and was discharged. You
are advised that under the law Of Dakota, the
patrons Of scheol have the right to determine
the time at which their school shall begin, and
they also have the right to demonstrate against
the employment Of any particular teacher, and
the township board mutt not employ for that
school any teacher whom the patrons of the
school, properly assembled, decide they do not
wish to employ. 1t may not be wise for the
patrons to select their teachers irrevocably, but
the township board in making the selection
formally expressed, in all cases where such
Difference does not conflict with the equitable
rights Of the other schools of the township.
Township boards should not he too solicitous
about their own powers, and should not forget
that the chief object of their Office is 10 serve
the patrons OF the schools rather than their
own vanity. ~.
Iu the petition above referred. to the sigma
lures attached thereto by persons not being pa
irons and voters, should be considered as sur
pusage. The employment of teacher and
paying her for months idleness in the school
house at time when her services were not
wanted by the patrons Of tho school was an
act which cannot be too strongly condemned.
When the patrons determine the time at which
their school shall begin no discretion in the
matter is left to tha township board.
Very respectfully yours,
A. SHERIDAN JONES,
Superintendent Public Instruction.

attempted to disarm Dugan. A con-

exchanged several blows, but neither

also struck by some one. Dugan was

ance at the Police Court this morning.
The difficulty had its origin in some
family matter and has been for some
time brewing.
