Commissioner Ruth's Explanation.

For some time past there has been
an increasing criticism among the
managers of the public schools at the
manner in which the state school
money is being held up. The date for
the distribution was July !, and moth
ing has been done SO far to get the
money to the schools. Commissioner
Ruth has been absent in the east with
a sick wife, and has had no personal
supervision Of the work. He has has
recently returned and in an interview
says that the distribution will be
made on the first CT next month. He
says: "The delay has been caused by
the county officials, who have failed
tc account for the funds in their
hands. They should have done so
several months ago. The office In
Pierre has been unable to get posses
sion of the funds, and we thought it
best, as well as economical, to dis
tribute them all at once. Another
excuse Of the delay is found In the
opinion Of the attorney general, that
where the land sold are crossed by
railroad right of way the purchaser
must pay for the entire tract, right Of
way and all. Very few purchasers
have been heard from and we cannot
tell until they respond whether we
shall be obliged to return large part
of the money or not, but we shall dis
tribute the sum on hand on Oct. l."

The results of the convention,
therefore are that the entire set OF
present supreme judges will be their
own successors, for stronger, cleaner,
ADLER or more popular trio Of men
would be hard to find within our
boundaries.
After the nomination of the ticket
had been completed, the following
strong and deserved encOmium was
passed. on the efficient work perform
ed last year by Chairman j. M. Green
and the State Central Committee
were passed, and it goes without say
ing that this expression finds echo in
the rank and file of our party through
out the state. 1t is as follows:
Resolved: That it is the sense of
this convention that the success of
the republican party last fall was due
to the splendid management OF the
campaign by the Republican State
Central Committee.
After the unanimous adoption Of the
foregoing, speeches were in order and
delivered by the nominees, eliciting
such perfect salvOs of hearty applause
that emphasized the work of the con-
ventiOn in thunder tones, and sent
the glad message to the world that
the Grand Old Party of South Dakota
is still cnce more in solid battle array.
and prepared to marchs to the polls
and victory in November with the old
time majority. Mark 1.-THE battle
is now more than half won.

A BIG STRIKE.


MachinIsts and Butchers in Three Great
Packing Houses will Quit Work.
KANSAS Cry. No., August 2l.-Forty-
Eve machinists in the packing house
owned by Armour & Co., all the le5
butchers employed by Swift & Co., and
all but sixty.ave of the butchers in the
employ of swartzchild & suIzberger,
who will close work when they have
killed the cattle for export on hand, are
on strike against a reduction OF 10 per
cent in wages, which took effect to-day,
The order affects the machinists only in
Armour's plant, but Is directed against
all the men employed by the other two
companies. 1t is probable that more
OF the machinists in Armour's will join
the strikers in a day or two, and the
ranks OF the strikers employed by the
other two companies will probably also
be augmented. When it is considered
that the business Of packing house
depends upon the butchers, 1t will be
understood that the strike is OF a serious
character. The reduction in wages up
plies not only to the local plants OF the
different companies, but to all their
properties in the different cities.

Presidents mud Flowers.

Railroad presidents and bank presi-
dents all seem to have an equal fond
ness for flowers, but some are on
abled by circumstances to indulge
that fondness to larger extent than
others. Samuel Sloan, for instance,
has an extensive hothouse up the
Hudson to draw upon, and the desk
of the president Of the Lackawanna
road is seldom without its two or
three vases of fragrant flowers, both
winter and summer. Jay Gould used
to have flowers sent down from Irv-
ington daily for his Office as well as
his house. In the budding and bloom
ing months Of early summer Chaun-
cey M. Depew always has q profusion
of flowers about him. C. P. Hunt
ington is another railroad magnate
who is very fond of flowers. Almost
invariably a bunch of bright hued
blossoms is placed on his desk each
morning. New York Times.

not only continues, but steadily increases.
No ootherplasters have been produced which
gain SO many testimonials of high value as
those continuously accorded to ALIcocK's

these exceptional tributes lies in the fact Of
their being medicinal and pharmaceutical

proof of the true value Of ALIoocK's PoR-

being largely initiated by unscrupulous
persons, who seek to deceive the public by
offering plasters which they claim to be the
"same," "egual," "as good" better,

A Natural Curiosity In Arizona.

In the extreme eastern edge of Ari-
zona, some 40 miles west by south of
that remotepueblo, Juni, N M, there
is a most remarkable natural phe-
nomenon---a great, shallow salt lake
in a bowllike depression, the sink it
self being some hundreds of feet deep
and three miles across. The BASIN
all that portion of it not taken up by
the lake--is dazzling white with mil
lions upon millions Of salt crystals.
In the center of the lake rises what
appears to be a cone shaped volcanic
peak. Should you take the trouble
to ford the lake and explore this peak
"a task neither disagreeable nor dan
gerous-you will find instead Of q
crater Of smoking, seething mud o
miniature lake in the middle Of the
peak clear as crystal and as pure as
any spring water. st. Louis Repub-
