South DAKOTA Is making splendid
progress In the matter Of popular cdu,
cation. Not only is the attendance
large in tho city, village and country
schools, but also the colleges, acAde-
mics and universities. South Dakota
has state institutions as follows: State
university at Vermillion, agricultural
college at Brookings. normal schools At
Madison and Spearhead. school OF mutes
at Sioux Falls, school of mines at Rapid
City. The sectarlan schools are as fol-
lows, and the work being done ranks
high: Yankton college, Redfeld col
lege, All Saints school, st Augustine
college and the Baptist college at Sioux
Falls; Hope school at Springfield,
academy at Scotland, M. r. universities
at Mitchell and Hot Springs, university
at Pierre, and several Catholic institu-
ons. one at Jefferson. There are also
Indian schools at Flandreau, Pierre,
Rapid City, Pine Ridge, Rosebud. st.
Stephens mission, Santee Agency,
Crow Creek, Fort Thompson, Good
win school on tho Whapeton and Low
er Brule, Sisseton Reserve, ana Chey-
enne Agency. These are filled to over
flowing with happy, hearty, healthy stn-
dents. Prof. Follinsbee RECENTLY stated
that the students OF the Dakota schools
and colleges had more color In their
faces, In fact looked healthier than
those OF the eastern cities he had visit
ed. Truly the educational development
OF South Dakota Is a record OF which
the citizens may justly be proud. No
state in the union with the same popu-
lation has as many schools as South
Dakota.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

DISPATCHES from Marshalfeld, Mo.
says Dick Cullen, the murderer OF . A.
year-old child. was taken from the Jail
and hanged BY mob.
One hundred and fifty men marched
to the jail and forced the outer DOORS
With guns, pistols and sledge hammers,
as persuaders, they forced the keys
from Sheriff Hubbard and opened Cul-
lens cell. Almost before the doomed
murderer had time to stammer out q
frightened "What do you want?" he was
set upon by several men, overpowered,
and his hands bound behind his back.
The word was given to move, and as
quietly and as suddenly as they came
the mob marched the prisoner to . tree
IN the courthouse yard. A rope was
quickly thrown over limb and fastened
about Cullen's neck. He was then asked
II he wished to say anything. He re-
piled to this, protesting his innocence.
Hang him up; pull the rope!" was
the demand Of the mob, and no sooner
was the word given than CuIlen's feet
were off the ground. The rope was se-
curely fastened to the tree and within
Eve minutes the mob had disappeared.
A NEGRO forced his way into the resi-
dencc Of Mrs. Carrie Carter at st. Louis,
demanding food and money. Not satis-
fled with her response, the brute sprang
at her with revolver, striking her
down. seizing her gold spectacles and
dashing lighted lamp upon her. The
lamp broke and the oil caught fire, also
setting fire to the woman 'sclothing.
The fellow then escaped. Mrs Carter
was aided in extinguishing the flames
by neighbors, but her burns are ex-
pected to result fatal.
THERE have been fsO, 900 bushels OF
corn received ut Torron, Mex, from
the United States for distribution
among the half famished people OF that
section Of the State OF Durango.
Heavy rains have fallen during the
past several days, and 1t Is believed the
prolonged drought Is now thoroughly
broken.
The negro population of Little Rock,
Ark, is terribly excited over revival
that has been In progress several days
One night the congregation was worked
up to such pitch that several persons
became violently insane and had not the
police interfered bloody riot would
have taken Mace.

H. J. RICE, Chairman OF the South

panies as well rs the Commission realized
what was coming, and on July ~ sent
circular to fuel dealers oil over the
State urging them to put In their stock
of fuel early SO that cars usually en-
ployed in the coal trade could be used
for wheat transportation. To this sug-
gestion many gave atte ntion, and hum

simply impossible to meet the demand.
At one place tho doors and windows
Of the warehouses were boarded up and
holes cut III the roof and the buildings
filled to their utmost capacity. At
other points farmers were notified that
their wheat could not be stored and
they were advised not to haul II to mar

porarily checked. Under. such circum-
stances complaints poured in upon tho
commission. All that could be done was
to urge the companies to provide more
cars and see that they were equally dis
tributed. AT this time the commission
visited St. Paul. Minneapolis, and Chi.
cago, and succeeded in inducing mana
gers of the principal lines to make ad-
ditionaI efforts to relieve the overbur-
dened warehouses. This they did, and
In fortnight the situation began to i'm

AFTER serving twenty years OF a life
sentence in the West Virginia peniten-
tiary, John Maley is now likely to be re-
leased, 1T appearing that he is not guilty
of murderingss his young wife. Maley
was sent to prison from Harrisville. He
had been a brave soldier Returning
home from the war he went into bus-
ness ard married. His wife died soon
afterward. Arsenic was found in her
stomach and Maley was arrested for
murder, indicted tried AID convicted,
all in single day, on the evidence of a
servant girl and her parmour.
Good ground has been discovered for
the belief that the poison was given by
the servant through mistake for medi-
cine, and that, frightened at the result,
she gave the testimonysthat convicted
her master.

Six Hundred Strikers Parade the Streets

THOMAS STEELE, receiver OF the (iti-

annapolis, Ind, was unable to start the
cars, as he had secured possession of
but one barn, the others having been
locked up by the company. President
Frenzel went into court and asked for
an injunction against Steele. AS the
company is perfectly solvent, the ap-
pointment of receiver caused consid-
erable surprise. This is construed as q
partial victory for the strikers, and it
was celebrated in q street parade by
six hundred men.
