THE WEATHER

Foster, the weather proguosticator,
makes the following predictions: Much
is being published in the newspapers
about the coming "hard" winter. We do
not have very hard winters when Mercury
and Venus are close to- the earth, for then
the storm waves run far to the north, and
II is IN the location of the storm waves
causes it to be very warm or yety cold.
South of the storm center, or low bGrnn-
eter which call the s,ofm wave, tLe
weather is war m and north of it the wealth
er Is cold as have heretofore explained.
When two Of the planets run close to-
gether the electrical forces at their equator
are increased. During the winter Mer-
curry and Venus will be near the earth,
and Mars, Saturn and Neptune will be on
the south side of the sun, or near where
the earth is in winter. December will be
a warm month, and winter will begin late.
The plane of Saturns equator Is nearing
that part of the ear MS orbit where the
earth is in December aud that too, un-
favorable to severe cold, but when the
earth reaches that part of its orbit in De-
cember, 1891, we may expect some Of the
greatest storms ever known, and the
spring months of that year will be full Of
destructive tornadoes.

Press Reporter.

News and Personal
Mention.
A CANDIDATE FOR U. s. SENATOR.
Leading Independents interviewed on
the Subject.

wv supJSt's
The following from Miller CORES
Dondent to the Sioux Falls Press has re-
awakened political interests here
mi Ter is likely, according to report,
to fu nish candidate for the United
States Senate. The gentleman in ques-
ton is one of the oldest settlers in the
county, and has been prominently inter
ested in politics, He is an independent
of very pronounced views, and would
make very striking figure in the senate
As We have nothing but rumor to base
our statement on, it would hardly be
right to speak proper names, but he is
likely to be heard from later on. The in
dependents here are not gone on Wardall;
have locked their breasts to Loucks, and
hardly hitch with Harden"
Just who the correspondent means is
somewhat of a mystery. Various leading
independents are charged with senatorial
aspirations, the one receiving most prom
inence, perhaps, being W. II. Miller.
Mr.. Miller was interviewed, but did not
think Hand county would present n can
dldate, although gave no positive DENIAL
or affirmation Of the rumor.
Sheriff Walshs good natured counte-
nance beamed at an inquiry as to Lis
hopes for a higher political plane. while
his lips framed an evasive answer.
Editor Sweetland, of the Gazette, was
the next victim, and he was inclined to
the belief that We had just as well talk of
something good to eat. As there were
several present this may be attributed to
his becoming modesty.
A. L. McWh orter, the o!d me reformer
and manager Of the Independent cam
paigR, admitted that he would make a
better senator than Moody, If he had
time to attend 10 it.
Capt. Gray, the county attorney elect,
had not seen the Press item. but had no
hestaucy in saying he supposed it meant
himself.
SO, notwithstanding dilI.gcnt search,
there is still a candidate fer the Z. 5 .
senate roaming about Miller ut large
Which one OF the five is it?

THE INDIAN FAKE.
Many Rum0rs Of an Indian up Rising.
but all Unsubstantiated. and
Excitement Dying Out.
Stories OF what the Indians are Ro.
ing About Miller and
Elsewhere.
The Hand County Sunday School
Association Holds Its First
Convention
THE INJUNS.

The Indian scare became quite general
over the DaKotas, occasioned of course bv
the usual sensational and exaggerated
stories. The Indians are somewhat ex
cited, and some few may be rebellious
over the Messiah craze, but that there will
be any serious trouble no one here be-
lieves.
Last week "the talk" struck Miller, and
little else was heard. Men sat around the
stores, joked and gassed about what they
would do if the reds came. Some were
i'll favor Of sending to the Governor for
arms, while others loaded their shot guns.
or hunted up their old pistols.
Thursday two or three Indians camped
north of Miller, something by the way
which occurse every month, but this
time great significance Was given to the
fact. By the time this news reached st.
Lawrence, there were probably 80 In.
mans camped near Miller" Because one
of the bucks asked for some caps, it soon
became current that they were trying to
get all the ammunition in town.
On Friday report was started that
there were 200 Indians at Highmore-
which probably meant seven. if any.
Gov. Mellette passed through Miller
Tuesday on his way to Pierre, The Gov.
is now starring the state.to cOunteract the
mischief done by eastern newspapers.
He has just been up to Gettysburg to tell
the frightened citizens Of that town they
are not surrounded by Indians. The up
rising is n fake
There was one good thing about the In-
dian scare though. 1t started Indian
stories" which served as change from
politics and {he capital.

The words of witty Frenchman,
Nothing succeeds like success" have
been often Juoted: there is hint here.
The teacher who wishes to be successful
must study the teacher who is succeeding.
l. He will see that the successful
teacher has the power to awaken an in
terest in others and to utilize this interest
for educational purposes. 1t used TO be
sail that good teacher was one who
had the power of imparting knowledge.
Tia saying is still true. only IL has been
extended, we now say that the able teach
er is one who can develop faculty and
direct activity, as well as impart know
ledge.
2. He will also see that the successful
teacher possesses foundation of know
ledge, of materials for thought, to pre-
sent TO his pupils, Here is an incident,
lady WAS examining the attaiuments Of
a resident goyerness, and after having
catechised the applicant a great length
finally asked, DO you know Greek p
No; do you think that is necessary with
such very young children p "Oh, but
want you to know great deal more than
ou use, every day with the cAildren."
There is point here.
For example. the teacher should know
history extensively, not rs Catalogue of
monarcns and battles, tut as record of
mental movements.
There is a great difference between the
presentation of any deeply interesting,
period of history-such as that OF Louis
XIV. in Francc--as mere chronicle OF
! events, and its suggestive treatment at
the hands of one who has studied the
period in ITS literature and has noted the
reflex action OF the literature upon court
and people.
g. He will see the successful teacher
! is devoted to his work. He makes all
| things! minister TO it. He gathers inspir-
alton from books, from people, from
events. His reaiing ard thinking Will
interest his pupils; suggestion from one
! source will help them, a fact from another
will enlighten them, intellectually and
mora ". In fine he Will see the success
! ful teacher give himself, body and soul
/ to his work. s, Journh
