LET THERE BE LIGHT.
Madison's Street Lighting Costs No More
Than Other Towns-A Moonlight
Schedule Proposed.

Perhaps nothing in the affairs of Mad
ison, in the history or the city, has caused
more universal dissatisfaction than the
recent action OF the city council in turn
ing off the electric lights OF Egan avenue
and contiguous streets. The difficulty
arose in the matter of price per light
per month. The city had been paying
$40 per month per light for eleven arc
lamps, and decided to cut the price to S8
per month. The company declined to
accede to such a sweeping reduction and
in consequence the lights were turned
off and the city has been in darkness for
several weeks. THE DAILY LEADER has
made careful investigation of the prices
paid by other South Dakota towns and
it finds that Madison has not been pay
ing an unreasonable price for the
amounto OF work performed, everything
considered. Letters in the possession OF
The DAILY LEADER show an average
price paid by other towns in South Da-
kota OF 50 per month for moonlight
schedule'-that is, when moon is in
sight no lights are turned @ AS there
are from seven to nine nights OF moon
shine in each month, and our Electric
Light company has been running full
time, moon or no moon, We are firmly oi
the opinion that for the number OF hours
run, Madison has been paying less FOL
her street lights than any Of her sister
towns. In making comparisons it is not
fair to include Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
consin towns. Freight rates to South
Dakota are much higher than to the
states named, which in some cases make
the price of coal at Madison nearly thret
times greater than at many Iowa ant
Wisconsin points. The number of light
used must also be taken into considera
ton, the same help being able to TAX
care Of twenty-five lights as easily a
eleven, the only additional expense be
ing coal and carbons.
We learn from officers of the compan,
that they have proposed to members o
the city council to furnish the city witt
street lights at 90 per month on 'moon
light schedule" thus placing prices Of
an average ard equal footing with othe
South Dakota towns. We consider thi
a fair proposition, and it ought to be &C
copied at once 10 that our streets ma
be lighted during the Chautanqua as
sembly when We will be visited by larg
numbers OF strangers.

himself to coffee, sugar, shoes, jewelry,

through the back door leaving it un-
locked. This occurred Sunday night
after midnight. He was arrested Mon

MADISON.

The annual meeting of the State
Horticultural society was held at Madi.
son last week in conjunction with the
meeting of the State Agricultural
society. Prominent horticulturists
from all parts of the State were present
and interesting and valuable papers
were presented discussing the best
methods of raising and caring for small
fruits. The meeting was also addressed
by Gov. Peck and c. K. Adams, Presi-
dent of the State. University, Wiscon-
sin is certainly proving one OF the best
states in the. union for growing large
crops of small fruits and its markets, it
was said, are excelled by none. In
terest in nursery work is on the increase
and the officers of the association say
that never before has there been such a
large demand for information on the
various modes of planting and Guilt
society is doing much to encourage the
work and its President. Mr.. NJ. A.
Thayer, of Sparta, has offered $4,000
strawberry plants to be distributed
among the first 5000 children of the
state applying for the same. Here is a
splendid opportunity for the youth of
our county to start little strawberry
beds of their own and furnish this
tasteful fruit for the home table, at
least. Many new local societies have
been organized in different portions Of
the state and we venture TO suggest
such move to the farmers and garden
cultivators in this vicinity. At the close
OF the meeting discussion arose as to
being unable to decide whether It
should be held in this city or Evans

vile. The question of meeting is now
pending before the Executive Board
and we are confident that prompt
action on the part of those interested
in this work could secure the next
meeting in Grand Rapids. A petition
is being circulated among and signed by
the leading members in favor of hold
ing the next session in our city and we
hope for its success. Many valuable
lessons may be learned and splendid
results attained from study and practice
in horticulture, and session here
would be instructive and beneficial to
all.
The joint debate of the University
between Athena and Philomathia did
not take place last Friday evening as
judges satisfactory to both sides could
not be secured. 1t was postponed for
one week and committee of the
faculty with Pres. Adams at its head
were agreed upon to select the judges
for the contest. The debaters have
spent nearly one year of time in prepar-
alton, and the great literary event of
the year will certainly take place ID

TO THE PUBLIC.

EDITOR REPoRTER:-Dear Sir-I ask
the privilege of making a statement
through the columns of your paper to
the public in explanation of my position
as teacher in the public school. I feel
that have been shamefully treated by
the school board in discharging me
without an opportunity to properly de-
fend my position. know have had
neither the assistance, good will, or
sympathy of the principal in the dis
charge Of my school duties, and he
never volunteered any suggestion in re-
lation to my work. / had no means of
knowing whether my work was salts
factory or not The Superintendent did
not visit my room during the year to
exceed four times and then only to re-
main few moments each time. What
ever suggestions he made l always ad-
hered to and carried out. Without the
cordial assistance of the principal,
superintendent and school board, no
teacher can make success of their work.
Had received that assistance and adj
vice there would have been no occasion
for the board to take the action which
they did.
In my Judgment the duties Of a prin-
cipal towards his assistant is to advise,
suggest and criticize if necessary, neither
of which was done in my case. He
never disapproyed of any of my methods
in teaching when presented to him, nor
did he ever even offer suggestion or
criticism. The first notice had of dis
approval Of my methods in teaching was
through note | received from Mr.. G.
L. Williams, a member of the school
board, who complained of my giving
examples too difficult for that grade and
outside of the text book. On receipt of
this submitted the examples and note
to Mr.. Luehr for advice and counsel.
He simply said that they could make
the same criticism as regards him, for
he was giving examples outside of the
text book. He differed with Mr.. Will
Jams as regards the examples being too
difficult for that grade.
The following local which appeared in
the Centralia Enterprise in its last Issue
is conclusive evidence of the fact that I
never had Mr. 1uehr's good will or he
never would have consented to the pub

satisfy the school board.

A LEG
ROTTING OFF
A MOTHER MADE HAPPY.

Eight years ago my son received a
bad bruise on his leg and then took cold
in it, which resulted in very serious
running sore. We have spent large
amount of money doctoring it, and
have tried nearly all the remedies in
the market which are recommended for
such affections. Instead of improving,
it continued to grow worse, until we
feared that the only way would be to
have his leg amputated. The leg was
badly swollen, and the sore became
very offensive, extending over surface
about five inches in diameter. Hearing
of similar case here in the city which
has been cured by "Septicide"' we de-
cided to try it. From the commence
ment of its use we were happily sur
prised for it destroyed the odor at once,
the swelling left the leg, and three large
cores with an abundance Of pus came
out of the, sore, giving it a much health
Ter appearance. The sore continued to
heal, and we are now rejoicing that
'Septicide" has cured the leg.
