To the Voters of the County.
Ada, So. Oak. June 6 189

Ada, So. Dak., June 6, 1891,
Since under the new school law a
Board of three is to transact all the
school business Of a township it is de-
sireable that its members should re-
side within reasonable distance of
each other both for their own conyen-
ience and that of persons having war
rants drawn on the township. A
teacher wishing a warrant for his SER
vices must go to the chairman for
certificate of services performed, then
present it to the clerk who then NAV
draw warrant which must be signed
also by chairman and the be presented
to treasurer, for payment. A moments
reelection will show the travel and in
convenience that scattered board
will cause. But few warrants are
wanted at any one time when the
board are together at their regular
meetings and even at them it often
happens that one member is absent.
This consideration should have due
weight in selecting the board, and the
special attention OF voters is called to
it. Please take notice also that in no
case can the county furnish textbooks
free as some seeem to think.
Respectfully,
GEO, o. WILLIAMS.

To the Teachers ofthe Co. and Others.
1t is expected that the course of
study given below will be followed at
our county Institute in September.
1t is the one to be- used generally
throughout the state. One or both
grades will be used as may be neces-
sary. The complete course covers
three years.
The work outlined for each year IS
expected to cover two weeks time,
1t is designed to make the Institute
school for the study of the subject of
the matter Of the textbook. Such in
struction in methods as may be ap-
propriate will of course accompany
the work.
The course is placed before us this
early that as much time as possible
may be given to its study before the
Institute begins. It is reasonable to
suppose that the examination ques-
tions atthe close of the Institute will
be based largely upon this course Of
study, and in view of this alone pre-
vious study may be useful.

SAN FRANCISCO, May &C. N. Phil
lips, of San Luis Obispo, one of the
active promoters of the coast railway
project, is in the city. He stated today
that the outlook is most promising for
the beginning of actual construction
work between Santa Margarita and Ell
wood. "Nearly all the money subscribed
has been paid in" he said, "and we ex-
pect to turn things over to the Southern
Pacific people before long. The San
Luis Obispo people have given
$4,000 in money, besides property
for right of way. Santa Barbara
raised $4,000; San Jose over $4,000, and
San Francisco over $4,000. Altogether
we raised about $4,000. 1t would have
cost the railroad people at least $500, 900
to get what we have for about $50, 900.
There are now eighteen condemnation
suits pending, eleven of these being
within the town of San Luis. The rail-
road people have promised to begin
work in sixty days after the deeds for
the rights of way have been turned over
to them. We have secured fifty acres
for depot site, etc., at San Luis.

DEATH BED REPENTANCE
ENGLAND'S TARDY ACTION IN THE
BERING SEA MATTER.
Getting Ready to Protect the Seals After
They Have Been Slaughtered - The
Measure too Late to Be Effective.

LONDON, May 29.-In the commons,
today, a bill prepared by the govern
ment, prohibiting British subjects from
catching seals in Bering sea for certain
period, was introduced. The duration
of the time during which seals cannot
be captured is not, however, given in
the bill.
WAsHINGToN, May 29.-Although it is
the belief of the officers of the state and
treasury departments, that sufficient
time vet remains in which to pass an
act of parliament and effectually put
into operation close season, a
contrary opinion is taken on
the situation by some other persons,
who say that the effort now being made
began too late. This opinion is largely
based on the Canadian opposition and
the possibility that Canadian influence
may be strong enough to delay parlia-
mentary action. Notwithstanding Sails
bury's desire for close season, it is un-
derstood that Salisbury himself, through
Pauncefote, expressed to this government
doubt as to his ability to prevent op-
erations by sealing vessels already
fitted out and in Bering sea, prepared
for work

TO lombard VALPARAISO
THE LATEST THREAT OF THE
CHILEAN INSURGENTS.
Foreign Governments Expected to Inter-
fere If an Attempt is Made to Carry 1t
Into Execution.

PARIS, May 29.-Dispatches received
here from Chile state that the insur-
gents, contrary to their promises, now
threaten to lombard Valparaiso. In
view of these threats the defenses of
that city are being hurriedly strength
ened. 1t is believed that the foreign
powers will intervene should the insur-
gents carry out their threats.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The state de-
partment has not been officially in
formed of any intention on the part of
the Chilean insurgents to lombard Val
paraiso, as reported from Paris. There
is disposition on the part of this gov
ernment, so far as can be learned, to
intervene" in the Chilean contest. For
the meaning OF this term, in diplomatic
language, is siding with one faction or
the other. If the insurgents
should attempt to lombard the
city, it is more than probable
that the foreign ministers would
enter an energetic protest, based on the
fact that the foreign interests in that
city are larger than native Chilean in
terests. In view of this large interest,
it may be that the protest, if disre-
garded, may be enforced by the foreign
fleets in Chilean waters; but their act
ion would go no further than necessary
to protect the lives and property of for
eign subjects.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-Burthe, who fled
from New Orleans to avoid testifying in
the jury-bribing cases, was arrested at
East st. Louis today. He left here
when he found the police were watch
ing him. When taken to the station,
the following telegram, dated New Or
leans, and addressed to William Wasson,
Burthe's cousin, was found on his
person:
"Tell my son to leave the state of
Missouri Immediately and go to another
state. Advance him $50 and draw on
me for same. (Signed) LOUIS BURTHE."
When seen by a reporter, Burthe said:
"When the Hennessy murder case be-
gan, / was drawn on panel. Before l
was examined and rejected, f. Armandt
approached me and said l would get
$1,000 if l got on the jury and found the
Italians not guilty. l told him would

municated to him the fact that Edgar
White, deputy sheriff, had threatened
to kill me if testified against his friend
Armandt. Yes, was afraid, and / left
New Orleans and got $1,000"
But Burthe seemed to realize he was
telling too much, and in the very next
breath said he left New Orleans of his
own will and accord.

BARDSLEY ARRAIGNED.
Held in $4,000 Bail to Answer Three
Grave Charges.

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-John Bards-
ley, city treasurer of Philadelphia, was
arraigned in court today to answer the
triple charges of misappropriating
500, 900 of city money, the embezzle-
ment of 100000 and upwards of state
funds, and perjury in violating his oath
of Office by loaning city money out at
interest. The district attorney said the
books of the treasurer's Office showed
balance in the Keystone bank OF
5000, 900, while in fact there was only
$400 900 there. In the cash drawer Of
the treasurer's desk were checks on the
keystone bank for 100000. These
Bardsley took to Bank Examiner Drew
and asked to have placed to his credit.
A similar state of affairs was shown in
regard to money belonging to the city.
District Attorney Graham asked that
Bardsley be held on the charge of mis-
appropriating city funds, and the magis-
trate agreed.
The state funds matter was then
taken up, and it was shown that Bards-
lev had loaned out state funds at interest
to a number of bankers, etc. Bardsley
himself took the stand and said 81 did
put money in the Keystone bank and
will have to take what the law gives
me. 1 got as high as four per cent in
terest for the money. l deposited the
money and took due bills for it. as is
done every day, and when the bank
failed lost the money"
After it had been testified to that
Bardsley kept private account in the
Seventh National, the Manufacturers
National, Peoples National and Farm
ers' and Mechanics National, Counsel
Alexander held consultation with his
client, and decided that he should tell
the names of the banks that paid him
interest. Bardsley said he had been
paid interest by all the abOve-named
banks, except the Farmers and Me-
chanics'.
The district attorney rested his case,
and said as he was unable to prove to-
day the charge of perjury, he asked that
it be continued until June 10Th.
Bail was fixed at $40, 900 on the charge
of misappropriating city funds; $35, 900
on the charge OF embezzling state funds,
and $4,000 on the charge of perjury. 1t
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-30

is not expected that Bardsley will be
able to obtain bail.
Bardsley, talking with detectives, said:
"I tell you, gentlemen, have been in
hell for the past six months. thought
things would come out all right, but
they did not, and am glad the thing is
ended. President Marsh'saction has been
a great disappointment to me. He should
have been more courageous and re-
NAMED in town, but he has proven him
self coward by running away. / never
had thought about going away, but will
remain where am and accept whatever
punishment the law places upon me-"
