George O. Crum, formerly of Ne

perience. The winter he left Nebras-

evening a flock of wild ducks settled
in lake near his farm The next
morning they were all frozen in. He
went down to capture them. AS he
approached they began to quack and

The AtlantiC's Bed.

Proceeding westward from the
Irish coast the ocean bed deepens
very gradually. For the first $50
miles the gradient is but six feet to
the mile; in the next 20 miles the fall
is over 5000 feet, and so precipitous
is the descent that in many places
depths of 1,2OO to 1,6o0 fathoms are
encountered in very close proximity
to the 100 fathom line. With the
depth of 1900 to 1000 fathoms the
sea bed becomes slightly undulating
plain /, 200 miles wide. The greatest
depth in the Atlantic is 300 miles or
so northward of the island of st.
Thomas, where soundings of 1915
fathoms were obtained, or nearly
four miles in depth.-Nautical Maga-
zine.

Hoist With His Own Petard.

Charles Thompson, secretary to
the first American congress, once
boarded in the family of a school
teacher named Dove. This man
Dove was a humorist, and in his
school, instead of whipping an often
sive pupil, he made him ridiculous in
the eyes of his schoolmates. The
birch was stuck into the back part of
the collar of the culprit, who, with
this badge of disgrace, was made to
stand upon the platform.
If boys were late in arriving at
school, a committee of five OF six
scholars was sent into the streets,
with a bell and lighted lantern, to
hunt up the delinquents and escort
them to the schoolhouse.
One day the scholars enjoyed the
sport mentioned in "Hamlet'-"to
have the engineer hoist by his own
petard" Dove had always prOfessed
a willingness to have his own punish,
ment meted out to himself in case he
transgressed the rules.
One morning the teacher was late,
and a committee of boys, with bell
and lantern, meeting him on his way
to school, escorted him through the
streets, to the amusement of the
spectators. He had the good sense
to submit quietly.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

News From the Regents

that date says:
There was some controversy
over the selection Of trustee for
the Brookings college. Collins,
the outgoing official, was a candi-
date for reelection, and he was
backed by strong element in his
own county (Brookings) and, it is
stated, had the endorsement of
his colleagues. 1t is believed to
be in his interest that a prominent
republican of the county made
special trip to Watertown last
week. The board of regents how
ever, seems to have turned him
down-perhaps properly speaking
it should be said that the hoard
merely appointed some one else
without any particular desire to
90 into the turning down. busi-
ness. Below are the names of the
new trustees:
Agricultural College Brook
ings)-O. T. Grattan, of Elkton.
State University (Nermillion)
L. B. French, a lawyer at Yank-
ton, state senator for several terms
and states attorney of the county
for several years.
Madison Normal R. S. Person,
editor of the Howard Press. Smith
of Euan was selected to fill va
cancy.
School of Mines Mr.. Flower,
Of Rapid City, and Chas. Parsons,
Spearfish Normal - Rev. A.
Brown.
The action of the board all
through was harmonious. While
there was some difference Of opin-
ion the members seems to be sat
isfed to let the conflicting views
take care of themselves.
With regard to the election of
Grattan, of Elkton, to the board
of trustees of the Agricultural col
lege, the board was not agreed, a
minority supporting Collins, the
retiring member. The majority,
however, seemed to place the men,
bership wholly outside the city Of
Brookings, in order to avoid as far
as possible the frictions of the
past. It seemed to be the general
opinion that whenever the citi-
zens of Brookings could practic
ally agree upon the member for
trustee citizen of the city would
be appointed at the first vacancy.
The salaries of nearly all the
professors at the college were cut
down to 81 200, and those who
were receiving less than that were
continued at the old stipulation.
DIR. McLouth's salary was reduced
S30O-from $500 to $500. Prof.
Shepard's was reduced $50, while
DR.. Cormack and a few others,
who had been getting 81, 200, were
continued at the same stipend. A
few of the minor positions were
declared vacant and will not be
filed for the ensuing year, owing
to the lack of funds to meet ex-
penses. Those who were dropped
from the pay rolls were relieved
solely on the ground of lack of
funds and not for incompetency."

Series of Jokes Perpetrsted Upon an
 Attorney at Cleveland.
 CLEVELAND. Oct. 19.-One of the most exciting weddings that ever took place here was that of Attorney F. II. Golf Wednesday night. He is 35 years of age, and through his long batchelor- hood has perpetrated series of practi- cal jokes upon his friends who have pre- ceeded him in the matrimonial relation. They waited their time and at last 'sgot even" with a vengeance.
 While the ceremony was in progress, one of the conspirators found the way to the groom's room, stole his travelling suit and hid it in the barn. Golf bor- rowed an ulster from his newly acquired brother-in-law, and wore it to the train over his dress suit On arriving at the train, he found his sleepingcar section decorated with white ribbons and white roses.
 The trip to the depot was made in the streetcar, another conspirator having, with his wife, palmed themselves off on the carriage as the bride and groom and were driven 10 the depot. The quandom groom possessed himself of the satchels, handbags, umbrellas and the like that had been placed in the carriage and had them hidden.

THE CAR IS WORSE.
Alarming News Out as to His
 Condition.
MR. LEYDEN MAKES A REPORT.

He Admits His Majesty Is Not So We'll
 but Hopes the Southern Climate Will
 Be Bsneflc ciaI--It Is Feared the Cxar
 Is Too III to Go to Corfu and the
 Transfer Is About Given Up.
 LONDON, Oct. 19.-There is a report in circulation here regarding the czar's health saying his condition has changed rapidly for the worse, and he may be unable to leave Yalta for Corfu. The report has caused a sensation here, es- pecially in view of previous reports, which led the people to believe he was in no immediate danger. It is now con cluded that there is little doubt but that decided change for the worse has taken place and the czar may be in more dangerous state than the most alarming reports hitherto nave stated.
 Anxiety regarding the health of the czar was increased yesterday by the re- ception of dispatch from St. Peters burg distinctly announcing the condition of the ezar as perceptibly worse, and that people were trying to read between the lines ot the official bulletin, pub lished by the official messenger of St. Petersburg Tuesday last, many inter- preting the announcement on that day to mean that the czar would be unable to bear the journey to Corfu.
 The official messenger as already cabled Tuesday last in 8 special edition published the following bulletin, which was signed by Professor Leydsn:
 "Hacherin, Popoff and Beljaminoff physicians in attendance on the czar- After consultation We find the disease oi the kidneys shows no improvement. His majesty's strength is diminished but tho physicians in attendance hope the climate of the south coast of Crimes will have beneficial effect upon the health of the czar."
 It will be readily seen that unfavor. able interpretation can easily be made of the above bulletin and it is not aston. ishing that it has given rise to addi. tional reports of alarming nature in spite of the fact that every prepartion has beer made to receive his majesty at Corfu.
