Agricultural College Quarrel

Clear Lake Courier: If the powers
that are carrying on the disgraceful
and unseemly quarrel over the manage
ment of the state agricultural college
do not come to an amicable sttlement,
and right soon, too, they will succeed
in completely breaking down that ex-
cellent institution. The people of the
state have tolerated this about as long
as they WILL and rather than continue
the quarrel, will be ready to withdraw
all support at the first opportunity AS
an educational institution for the sons
and daughters of our farmers the col
lege is a grand thing, but the intrigu-
ing and wire-pulling connected with its
management has put it in disgrace. Of
course the newspaper correspondents
have exaggerated matters somewhat,
but the real state otfairs warrant q
strong rebuke.

y Lawn Tennis Match Game.

a match game of lawn tennis was
played Friday evening between Scallin
and Hitchcock and Windle and Downey,
which was witnessed by fair crowd and
the first two gentlemen defeated the
latter in three straight setts. The
first sett was the closest of the three and
took twenty games to settle the sett.
Hitchcock and Scallin played good
game, the former playing splendid
net game, while Scallin did some good
serving and played we'll on returns. The
defeated team did not play their usual
game, Downey being unable to make
a swift return. Windle was in fairly
good form and made several good
smashes. The boys accepted their de.
feat gracefully but hope for chance tc
get even at later day. Hitchcock
and Scallin won by the following score
49, 90, and Ga. During the week the
Victor club will begin on tournament

ten days or two weeks, playing every

trustee or regent who has done his
bidding on the board. Then when he
was OF no futher use as member of the
board to have him discharged for some
one else who had served him.
Several years ago one Freudenfeld
was appointed member of the board
and got himself elected treasurer of
the funds. He became defaulter for
several thousand dollars. He was q
friend of President McLouth He was
never prosecuted. A compromise was
fixed up by which the state lost several
thousand dollars.
President Shannon of the Board OF
regents six months ago demanded of
President McLouth his resignation in
accordance with promise made year
ago. Now he is fighting on the board
to prevent the resignation being ac-
cepted. The Huronite printing office
with which Shannon is connected, has
a job Of printing for the institution.
Within few weeks after President
McLouth resigned and then held out to
the world that his connection with the
institution would cease. Letters were
received from eastern professors say
ing they had been notified by McLouth
that there would be vacancies in GER
tain positions in the college next year,
naming positions held by professors
and teachers whom he thought were
not as friendly to him as he might wish
for, although such teachers had not re-
signed, been invited to resign, nor been
notified by the board that their SER
vices would not be further desired.
There are only two intelligent alter
natives for the board of regents and
trustees to pursue with reference to the
State Agricultural College, Make a
clean sweep as they did few years
ago in the case of the State University.
Get man as president who is an edu-
Gator and man among men and who
will command the love, respect and con-
fidence of the other teachers and the
pupil. Then can the citizens of the
state get some benefit from the $4,000
per year donated to them by the United
States government.
The building and appropriations are
sufficient to educate 500 students every
year. Instead of the few who are in
efficiently taught now.
Or turn the institution and all the
funds over to President McLouth as
his personal property. elect his politi-
cal henchmen as his assistants and let
them run the institution to suit them
selves for their personal benefit.
Either course will secure harmony.
No other will. One will bring honor
and credit to the state. The other dis
grace, but probably peace, and prevent
the disgraceful quarreling in the board
of regents and trustees.

CHANGE OF POSITION.
An Error in Marking Places Dakota Uni
verSity Third.

TO whom it may concern: This is to
certify that an error has been discov-
cred in the ranking of the orators in
the last annual intercollegiate orator
ical contest, held at Vermilion, May II,
1895, so that the relative positions of E.
T. Cotton, OF the South Dakota Univer-
sity Mitchell, S. D., who was awarded
second place and n. P. Fawell of the
Baptist College, Sioux Falls, S. D.,
who was accorded third place are in
question. The system of ranking form
erly in use would give second place an6
prize to Sioux Falls, but that system is
found to be incorrect. The sytem used
at the last contest by which second
place was given to Mitchell, is wholly
without foundation.
In justice to the Sioux Falls school
and orator the undersigned make this
official acknowledgement of the error,
pending the action OF the next annual
convention OF the association Signed.

1t Occurred Saturday Morning at Three
O'clock and Did Some Damage.
People were awakened from sound
sleep Saturday morning about three
o'clock by a terrific crash of thunder
and few minutes later the fire alarm
sounded. Lightning had struck the
barn of Joseph Harker, on the east side
OF town, and set it ablaze. A heavy
rain had fallen an hour before and it
took some time for the blaze to get
started. 1t was first discovered by Mr..
Harker and he ran out to get his fami-
ly horse out Of the barn, but in the
doorway was mass of flames and he
would have endangered his life by at
tempting to 60 into the barn. He SIM
ply had to stand there and see his favor
ite horse be burned to death. The fire
department was making frantic efforts
to get to the scene of the confiagration
but the muddy roads prevented them
from making much Roadway. How
ever, when they got there they did
some valiant work. Mr.. Harker's gra-
nary, standing within few feet OF the
barn, was nearly destroyed, and the
barn belonging to Mrs. j. T. Atkins
was also destroyed, on which there was
no insurance. Mr. Harker had his
barn insured for $780, tho horse 800,
and $50 on the granary.

No Crops East.

Redfeld Journal-Observer r. w.
Humphrey returned home from Con-
necticut on Friday evening. He says
that he never saw such poor crop pros
poets as exist in that portion Of Canada
and Michigan traversed from New York
to Chicago. The wheat stands about
four or five inches high, scorched and
dried by drouth and the corn is not one
whit better. The air was sultry and
dry and the sun, through the hazy and
dusty air looked no bigger than silver
dollar. Everywhere the conditions
were most discouraging and he wonders
where the farmers will get feed for
stock.

Crop Conditions in the Hills.

Deadwo Times: A number of
farmers, who have been in town the
past few days from the valleys north
of here, have been heard to complain
of the condition of the growing crops
and the weather. They say small
grain is doing fairly, but the soil is get
ting dry and the yield will not be as
large as it promised a few weeks ago.
Corn, they say, is backward, the nights
are too cool ard vegetables will not
amount to much. IL is singular and
noticeable fact that some farmers are
about the hardest people to please in
the country. The ground is either too
wet or too dry and the weather too cold
or too hot all the time. We doubt that
the conditions ever were satisfactory
The fact is the prospect is very favora-
able, and we think equal to any season
ever known in the Hills. There is an
unusually large acreage of everything
and all crops are thrifty and promising
for this time in the year. True, the
past week has been comparatively
warm and the top sol has dried per-
ceptibly, but there is an abundance of
moisture in the earth that is drawn
toward the surface by the heated
weather and there is no cause for alarm.
The average yield of all crops in the
Black Hills this year will be surpris-
ingly good

damp and showery and harvest
and haying have progressed very
slowly; further damage has been
done to grain in shock and corn
and cotton are being injured in
some localities by too much rain.
Over the balance of the state
threshing, stacking and haying
have progressed rapidly under
favorable conditions and this
work is now nearing completion.
Oats have yielded well, as arule,
but in many counties have been
damaged to a greater or less ex-
tent by the wet weather.
Corn CONTINUES in excellent
condition, generally, though In
some districts it has become very
grassy and weedy. But little
damage by chinch bugs is re-
ported.
Flax is about all cut and is a
good crop.
Hay has been considerably
damaged by rain in some sections,
but on the whole is better than ex-
pected and in some localities is re-
ported up to the average. Pas
lures are good and the second crop
of clover promises we'll.
Sorghum, millett, tobacco, cas-
tor beans, late potatoes and gar
den vegetables are generally do
ing well, and fruits continue in
good condition, with the excep-
ton of grapes, which are still rot
ting badly in some localities.
Turnips are being sown in the
southern counties, and fall plow-
rug has commenced.

CROP BULLETIN.

The following is a synopsis of
the weather crop bulletin issued
by the Missouri Weather Service
for the week ending July 9th:
Except in portions of the eastern
sections the weather during the
past week was much more favora-
BILE to the farmer than for some
weeks previous. The mean tenn
perature was slightly above the
normal in the central section but
elsewhere there was an average
deficiency of from 2 to 4 degrees
per day. Over number of the
eastern counties the rainfall for
the week exceeded two inches, but
over the remainder of the state it
was generally less than % inch,
except in the southern counties,
where it ranged from so to 1.25
inches. Late reports, however,
indicate that very heavy showers
occurred in some localities in the
central and western sections on
the 2Sth.
In many of the northeastern,
east central and southeastern
counties the weather continued

The nations OF the world
sex m TO know the timid nature of
the Cleveland administration quite
as well as Americans do. Months
ago France was asked to furnish a
copy of the papers in the case OF
Ex- Consul Waller, who is now in
a French prison. and it refused,
an unprecedented thing to do. An
other demad has since been made
for the papers, and State Depart
ment officials express the opinion
that another refusal will in due
course be made. Meanwhile an
American citizen is languishing in
Il French prison, on what he
claims to be trumped up charges
and an unfair trial. This admin
iStlation seems to be opposed to
protection for Americans either at
home or abroad.
The condition of affairs at
Hannibal would seem to indicate
that DR.. Hearne. instead of taking
dispositions in damage suit,
should have taken a steamer for
Australia or somewhere else. The
DR. is said to be a man of great
reserve force, but his reserve may
vet prove as unavailing as that of
Napoleon at Waterloo. One thing
is certain-the people think some
thing has been wrong all along,
and Hearne has undertaken to make
little money by a method more
unpopular than any to which the
late Jay Gould ever resorted.
Sensitive persons in Hannibal are
no doubt still sick of the Stillwell
sensation. but none of them would
vote Justice down even at this
late day.
