Two Lnquisitive Scrihhler's Discover IN.
Queerest Man in Dakota.
The Eastern papers had been circu.
lating the report that nearly every
farm in Dakota was plastered with .
mortgage and that all of them were for
sale. Chip and Iwere determined to
break this report if we had to visit
every quarter section in the Territory
in order to find the exception. We
had travelled ffty-seven days in this
pursuit, and our iron determination
was fast turning into lead, when we
rode up to a large building witha small
farm that evidently belonged. to it.
A man sat on the fence WhIttllng 3
stick.
We are collecting few items
said Chip, as he drew out his note
book Il suppose this farm raises the
usual 60 bushels of wheat to the acres
corn, 125? Eaters, 600 and y
t'Holdu onp' cried the man, staring
at him with strange look in his eve.
"Yer'll have ter revise them fggers g
bit. Set the wheat at 10 bushels pc,
acre; corn at Is; and taters at 5O.n
''Wh-what?" stammered Chip, as
his notebook and pencil dropped to
the ground. Say it again, friend, kind
o. slow. Mebbe my pard can catch on
to the racket"
The man repeated his statements
AS soon as Chip could rally he went
on:
1,Yell excuse the question, but, con
ferdenshally, the amount of mortgage
on this ere farm IS"
'.Nary cent" came promptly from
the man.
Again Chip was about to collapse,
but he reused himself for the final
question:
'.And the price?"
''Not for SALE"
raised Chip from the ground and
propped him against d post. Just then
man came running from the house
with pair of handouts, and took the
man from the fence. We had struck
the lunatic asylum and had been talk.
Ing with an escaped lunatic.
This poor fellow once owned a small
farm which he would neither mortgage
nor SELL" explained the overseer.
people hocked to see him from all
parts of the territory, and twasn't
long before we had to bring him here.
He imagines that he owns this place,
and still clings to his old ideas
''But, pard, we've struck place that
amt fer sale, anyhow" cried Chip, re-
covering the use of tonguethat seldom
failed him.
''Well, don't know bout that said
the man.. "We've hail this asylum here
for several years, and now our neigh
boring town wants it for awhile. They
offer a lot and new buildings free. It
is probable that this place will be in
the market in a few days, if it is not al,
ready
Chip was getting nervous. He ex-
planned our mission to the overseer,
whose keen eyes, meanwhile, wandered
constantly from one of us to the other.
Suddenly a charge of his features
showed that his doubts had settled into
conviction. -.

Legislative Employees, Extra Paw

The Supreme Court has very wisely put
a curb on the tendency of each succeeding
Legislature to treat its swelled list of en-
ployes, in answer to their opportunities
with unlawful generosity at the public
crib. The San Francisco Bulletin says:
Near the close of the last session of the
State Senate a resolution was passed allow
ing the pages, watchman, gate-kee2ers,
meil-c carrier and mailing clerk 81 day for
extra services for the session and directing
the State Controller to draw his warrants
in the sum of $50 for each of the named
employees, payable out of the contingent
fund of the Senate. The extra work con-
sisted of prolonged sessions of the Senate.
Controller Dunn refused to draw such
warrants and Court directed him to do
so. This judgment has been reversed by
the Supreme Court, which says the com
pensation of porters, etc, is fixed BY law.
They are not paid by the amount of work
which they do but by the day, and the
word day as used in the statute covers
whatever period of the twenty four hours
the legislators choose to remain III session.
The services were not extra, but were such
as the employees were bound to render.
And this being the case the sum voted TO
them must have been a gift or extra com-
pelsation after service has been rendered.
both of which are forbidden by the Con-
siitu:ion -

EDUCATIONAL.
Schools Visited by State superintenden
Hoitt In Southern California.

Hoitt In Southern California.
Ira G. Hoitt, State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, returned yesterday from
a visit to the State Normal School and High
School at Los Angeles, and the Ventura
county Teachers Institute, which met at
San Buenaventura. Mr.. Hoitt expresses
himself as well pleased with the condition
of the State Normal School, and says the
training department connected with the
school is doing excellent work. The Los
Angeles High School, under the Principal
ship of F. II. Clark, ranks among the best,
but the school is sadly in need of better &C.
commodations. The Board of Supervisors
of Los Angeles county has given County
Superintendent Seaman deputy, at a sal
airy of 81 200 per annum, and with 400 and
more teachers in the county, both Superin-
tendent and deputy have all the work they
can attend to.
THE Ventura county Institute" saws Mr.,
Holt, was attended by nearly all the teach
ers of that county, and the disposition to
| appear to good advantage in the work done
at the Institute was very marked on the
part of both Superintendent Meredith and
his teachers. Nowhere have l seen bet
ter spirit manifested or more disposition to
enter into discussion of the philosophy OF
education, and the application of natural
and scientific methods of developing the
mind of the child. San Buenaventura has
just completed a $4,000 school house
which is one of the handsomest and most
commodious | have seen. The educational
boom seems to have kept abreast of all
| other booms in Southern California, except
that in some localities it has been almost
| impossible for the people to keep up with
the demands for more school accommoda
