District Institute.

The second of the series Of district
Institutes to be held in this county
convened in this city last Saturday.
A goodly number of the teachers were
present and the session proved inter
esting. One thing was particularly
noticeable and that was the presence
of the real live teachers. Some who
held low grade certificates were ah-
sent. If these Institutes are of value
to the able teachers surely those hold
ing low grade certificates might reap
some benefit by attending, and it
might he we'll for school boards to
ascertain how many Institutes a
teacher, applying for school. has at
tended and whether they attend them
regularly.
This was really business session
and many matters Of importance were
attended to. Miss Nell Farrar was
selected as delegate to represent
BroOkings county at the meeting of
the state teachers association which
will be held at Parker during the
holidays.
The following is a list of those

Facts Ab,nt state Inst,,ut,ons.

To the Editor of the Times: Please
publish the following data concerning
four state schools, aprOpos to the cur
rent discussion Of expense, attend
ance. etc. We have four educational
Institutions and tne tee hnical school,
viz: The School Of Mines at Rapid
City, the State University at Vermil-
lion, Agricultural College at Brook
ingS, Normal School at Madison. and
Normal school at Speartish. For the
support of these four institutions the
legislature appropriated for 1892 and
1893, for the State University $22, 2,l49.-
10. attendance 2S1. cost per student
S7S.47: for Brookings college $1,000, at
tendance 303, cost per student $3.50;
for Madison Normal, $4,000, attend
ance 1SS, cost per student $49.46: for
Spearfish Normal. $40, 700, attendance
l64. cost per student, $65.24. Total
num- er Of students 9G6. Average cost
to the state $5O.37, instead of 5000 as
claimed.
The School of Mines must not be
charged to the general educational eX-
pensc because its work is special and
limited.
The appropriation for the Agricul-
tural college is only for the house.
keeping expenses and brings to the
state for college and experimental
work, though separate from each
other, $33,000 The sum Of $4,000 is
realized by the state from the United
States for each $1,000 appropriated.
The $4,000 must not be counted as
college funds nor the $4,000 charged
to the state.
The public wants to know what the
state pays for it's schools, which is as
follows: Agricultural college $1,000,
State University $22,149.16, Spearfish
Normal $40, 100, Madison Normal SO, 800
total $41, 1,149.49, by which nearly
thousand students were given school
privileges last year, and the United
States gave the state $4,000.
Much is written about the local
patronage of these schools, as if it
were exceptional. Six years ago an
expert found that the patronage of all
the colleges in the United States was
distributed as follows: Seventy-tive
per cent of the students lived within
81 miles, 95 pei cent within IS miles.
A few years since found that only %
per cent of the students of the State
University were from Clay county,
while much smaller percentage of
students in the Agricultural col
lege were from Brooking, county,
while last year less than 25 per cent of
the students at Madison Normal were
from that city. 1t seems singular
that local pa rOnage is so small.
There has Deen much criticism on
preparatory departments Of colleges,
on accoun. of the high schools being
able to do that class Of work, hut what
high school is open to the farmers
children? Are not the high schools the
private property Of the cities? There
fore the preparatory schools of the
University and college are to the far
mer'S children what the high schools
are to the children of the cities. They
are the one chance for a good educa-
tion TO farmers children who cannot
pursue q college course.
A comparative study of the expenses
Of state institutions discloSeS the fact
that the institutions of South Dakota
are more economically managed than
those of any other state.

PORTLAND, April 3-Georgs e. Richard
son, VINO dramatically tagged the South
ern Pacific passenger train near Drain last
Friday morning and informed the con-
ductor that the track had been torn no, was
arrested and placed in the county Jail at $50
tonight on a warrant charging him with
having attempted to wreck the train. The
first intimation that Richardson was
suspected of being a wrecker came in dis
patch yesterday from Sheriff Moland. OF
Lane county, to Sheriff Kelly, of Muitno-
man county. This afternoon Sheriff No
land came to this city and proceeding
to the hospital where Richardson was
confined placed him under arrest. holland
says he has secured evidence sufficient to
been in the hospital watching Richardson
since yesterday.
When seen at the Jail tonight Richard
son denied that he removed the rail from
the track. His injuries are merely super
fetal, and he is not suffering. 1t is gener-
ally believed that he inflicted the injuries
himself In October, 1892, Richardson
tagged Union Pacific train between
Baker City and Pendleton when it
was about to run into a boulder on the
track. He received s. reward from the
passengers. The company, however. sus-
pected that he rolled the boulder on to the
track, but they had no conclusive evil
dence. Before Richardson was taken from
the hospital tonight Superintendent
Fields, of the Southern Pacific, and
Superintendent Minister, of Pinker-
tons detective agency had an interview
with him. They endeavored to secure a

cessful. He admitted that he rolled q
boulder on the Union Pacific track, but

il was with this instrument that the
ships anchor chains were cut in San Fran
cisco harbor. Capt. Gaffrey tried the saw
on thick piece of iron and found that it
cut through easily, though Of harder ma
terial than the ordinary anchor chain con-
tains. The captain will take the instru-
ment back to San Francisco with him and
hand II over to the police authorities in
the hope of its leading to the detection OF
the miscreant who endeavored to wreck
the ship in such . cowardly manner.
There 10 no mark of any kind on the saw
beyond the rust stains caused By the damp
sand.
San FRAscIsco. April 3-Capt. Peter
son. Of the American ship Eclipse. just ar
riAed from Honolulu, reports that the
chain to his port anchor parted
in that harbor and this led to the
discovery that it had been cut.
The Eclipse left here last November with
non-union crew, went to Nanaimo and
thence to the Hawaiian islands. The port
anchor was there used for the first time.
Capt Peterson is positive the chain was
cut before the vessel left San Francisco.

BAKER CITY, Or, April 3.-Considerable
excitement was caused in this city

ton. The officers called to their
assistance, Sheriff Condo and two deputies
and started for Haines, twelve miles from
this city. to arrest Tom. George and Will
lam Mccarthy. who are thought to be

ing the sheriff and leaving him in custody
of stepson of William made his escape.

West UNION, Ia, April 3.-A terrific
battle took place at Jackson Junction,
twenty miles from here. this afternoon be-
tween employees of the Chicago, Miiwau-
kee e. st. Paul railroad and mechanics
and farmers. Miles McGovern and Peter
Meyers had determined to build ware
house in spite of orders from the
railway to the contrary. This noon
the company sent seventy-hve men to
lay rails on the building site to pre-
vent the building. McGovern and Meyers
and a band of farmers resisted, and a
bloody battle took place. resulting in seven
or eight men being terribly injured, one of
whom will die. The men became wild and
fought like demons with crowbars. ham,
mers, rocks and clubs. The company did
not want to make shipping point at the
junction. The railway is now in pos
session of the field.

on the grounds. OF 1900 carpenters
employed on the grounds, about 200 are
hired BY the exposition company and the
remainder BY the contractor. A strike.
If Il occurs, will involve 100 men employed
BY the exposition and those employed BY
such contractors q have not signed the

that anybody who can drive nail can

any who strike will b plenty.
There 10 in this city an association OF
carpenters bosses, known a. the Carpen.
ters' and Builders' Association. It has an
agreement with the Carpenters' Union
BY which it agrees to employ none but
union men. and it is provided in the agree
mens that the carpenters employed by the
members Of the association shall not
strike during year, all matters upon
which trouble might arise being covered
by the agreement. Today President
.Congswell, of this association, met the
Worlds fair council in company
with some Of his associates on behalf OF
the men, saying they felt justified in ask
agreement, which had proved acceptable
to nearly all employers and iaborers of the
city. President Higginbotham replied
that he did not see how the exposition
could be expected to modify at this late day
. contract it made with union labor at
the outset. Gen. st. Clair, representing
the national commission, said that az an
officer of the government it would be IL
legal for him to vote tor proposition
which clearly involved discrimination be-
tween citizens who belonged to union
and those who did not.
The members of the Carpenters and
Builders Association held meeting this
evening to discuss the question and de-
eide whether they would suspend their
contract with the men and allow them to
strike. 1t was finally decided not to allow
any men under agreement with them to
strike. This confines the strike to such
contractors as had not signed the agree
ment as stated above.
