Stuck to Their Seats.

When the contribution plate was passed
at the dedication services at the new Con-
gregational church at MoOrland. Iowa, Sun
day not single person arose to leave his
seat. One reason was because the varnish
on the seats was not sufficiently dried and
the entire congregation found itself tightly
glued down. At the close of the service it
took three quarters of an hour to free all of
the prisoners. All the ladies' handsome
toilets were ruined. and large portions of
them still decorate the newly painted pews
of the church.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

SWEET MEMORIES.

Amid the silver glaciers light
Far up the mountains frozen height
The Alpine flowers bud and bloom
Within their dreary ice bound home;
Like gems of purest light inlaid
In some dark cavern's dismal shade.
Beneath the soft and fleecy clouds
That float like angels yelled in shrouds,
Athwart the rosy tinted brows
OF peaks that rise in northern SHOWS
These fragile ''things of beauty" sweet
Spring up mid parks and slopes of sleet.
Even thus within the human heart
Some gentle memories ne'er can part;
Their unknown incense gives relief,
And sOothes the bitter storms of grief;
And still they bloom tho sorrows roll
A green oasis for the soul.

OREGON PoEMs.-A gentleman was
in this city last week collecting poeras
by Oregon authors. To make a fill
collection of the best poems is not All
easy task as in many instances the mar
uscripts have been lost and scrap books
and old newspaper files must be re-
sorted to- in order to obtain the verses.
A book of these poems. is to be brought
oHs in time for the worlds fair in Chi
cago. The plan is a feasible one, and
many of the poems already published
by Oregon authors are literary gems
through coming ages.

Our friend, Judge Kelsay, and others
of the old-tine lawyers of this county
who made semi-annual visits to Coos

with delight the completion of di-

very circuitous and difficult one. At
that time wagon road was regarded
by many AS wild notion. The road,
however, came soon thereafter, and now

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

| Six new pupils were enrolled on
Monday. Attendance has been reduc-
ed about one-third during the last week
| on account of the scarlet fever scare.
This is unfortunate as pupils thus ir-
regular will fall behind their classes,
which wllf make the work more difficult
both for them and the teachers.
A recent rrrfe, of the board provides
in substance that the pupils from homes
where contagious diseases have existed
must not be admitted to school without
statement from a physician to the: eff
feet that such attendance is safe, In
addition to this pupils known to have
been exposed to contagious disease are
not allowed TO- attend till danger of
their taking the disease,is; past. With
these precautions and the mild form of
the disease there is but little danger
and pupils who at first stayed out ar g
AREA dY returning.
The reading of Whittier's "Snow
Bound" formed "a portion of morning
exercises In the principals room recent
ly. The pupils gave close attention
and seemed to enjoy it. Pupils in
this room have also committed mem
ory gems from such authors as
Shakespeare, Burns, Bryant, Whittier,
with others to follow. Similar exer-
cises have been begun in some of the
other rooms. Such contact with the
best authors cannot but be beneficial
to the pupils.
Hereafter weekly reports of attend,
ance and punctuality will be made out
for each room and perhaps published.
This is most excellent school wealth
er-let it continue.

Re-peopling the Feast.

The Sioux Falls Daily Press recent
ly contained the following:
1t seems strange to read about the
staid old state of New Hampshire try
ing TO re- people it's farm lands, but
that is just what they are now doing
in that state. The legislature passed
law similar to our South Dakota
immigration law, and authorized the
commissioner OF agriculture to carry
it into effect. This official started in
to learn the number of abandoned
farms in the state, their location, con-
dition and estimated value. The re-
ports received by him show that 212
towns there are / $40 farms, with good
farm buildings, that had been deserted
by their owners. Europe and the
eastern cities were flooded with pam
phlets descriptive OF these abandoned
farms, and years earnest advertis-
ing has found purchasers for sol farms
Inc New Hamshue commissioners In
mis- report states peculiar fact. He
says that many OF the purchasers OF
these farms. especially those residing
In this country, were residents OF the
cities. Doubtless many of these peo-
pie had long WISHED to possess some
land they could call their own, which
they could either make Sheir perma-
nent homes or use in the summer, and
through these advertisements saw op-
portunities they did not know existed.
Other states in the east are also
awakening to the fact that they have
too many abandoned farms, and inn
migration bureaus are already estab-
llshed in several states. We of the
west will probably zee the day when
this country will be flooded with PAM
phlets descriptive OF eastern lands and
the wonderful opportunities for the
home seeker. Stranger things than
this have occurred.

Handsome Dwelling,

The Volga Tribune OF last week con.
tanned the following which We repub-
lish with pride: "Sol. Walters, the
Bruce merchant, Is building one one of
the handsomest as well as one of the
largest residences in the county. 1t is
a two.story structure of wood with q
fine stone basement and cellar; large
airy rooms above and below, ali finely
arranged, and will be fitted up with
modern conveniences. The building
stands abcut the center Of fine plat
OF ground, the main front being to the
east. 1t is a home that man like
Mr.. Walters and his estimable vile
will enjoy. as their hospitality is pro-
verbal among all their friends. What
it cost will be we could not estimate,
and it's owner had not, as he SAID he
was building it for comfort with very
little calculation as to expense. The
latter, however, will serve to show
that the gentleman has fairh in the
prosperity OF his town."

all, but belongs to the same order nf

it is spreading rapidly over the state.
1t will require united action to kill il,
as it is a tumble weed and che wind

south Dakota Tin.

The Duluth Herald credits Capt.
Sellwood, the we'll known Gogebic
range miner who is now operating on
the Vermillion range, with very fiat.
tering report from the Dakota tin
mines. the Captain, who yr-entiy re-
turned from the tin district 5( dakota,
says he is convinced that til ) deposits
Of the Black Hills will within decade
yield annually nall the tin this coun-
try requires. He says the ore veins
are similar to those OF Cornwall, En-
gland, but much richer; but owing to
the difficulty OF getting supplies to the
mines they have not been rapidly de-
veioped.
There has been lingering suspicion
in the minds OF even those who are ia.
vorablr disposed toward the Dakota
tin industry that there is something
wrong about the deposits reported to
have been discovered in the Black
Hills country The basis OF this sus-
plcion Is report that was made pub
lie shortly after the discovery of the
tin deposits was first hearlded over
the country, that the tin in Dakota is
lodged in gneiss of such hardness that
i5 resists the power OF the most power
ful crushing machinery in existence.
Capt. Sellwood's report indirectly de-
nies this eneiss story, for he says the
ore bearing veins are chiefly in tin
quartz.
In the light of this latest report
from the Black Hills region, the tin
plate schedule OF the tariff bill assumes
more Importance. 1t is highly deslr-
able that the Dakota tin deposits
should be developed to their full ex-
tent, and il by protecting the tin in
dustry We can so establish it that
eventually we may cease looking to
Cornwall for cur tin supply, we should
not hesitate to afford the necessary
protection. But we use so much tin in
our various industries that we cannot
afford 10 take chances as to the time
which the Dakota tin tin mine RS will
require to get firmly upon their feet;
therefore Mr.. Spooner's precautionary
llan in regard TO the protection OF tin
should be adopted, or the bounty
principle should be applied. The lat.
ter plan would seem to be the safest.
Tie bounty would represent the pro-
tective power of tariff, and it would
stimulate the tin mining industry as
effectively as q higher tariff, upon I'M
portatiops would. With q bounty,
the people would feel that they were
giving the tin men as mush encourage
ment as their efforts warranted, and
there could be- no foundation for Cam
pain lying by free traders.

covered wagon. having their house
hold effects with them, aud bunch
OF cattle. We interviewed the head
OF the caravan, and learned that
owing to q failure of crops they were
going back to their former home in
Minnesota. They hailed from Brule
county, near Chamberlain. When
asked why he did not 90 on to tho
reservation and take land the man
seemed quite amused. He had trav.
eled over that country to consider
able extent, aud saw no farming lands
there, even in the valleys. Along
White river the land is better, but the
low lands are not extensive enough
for farms. He considers the reserva-
ton country only good for grazing
