that some of the best men on the board
of regents felt that on account of the
difficulties at the agricultural college
my own influence for good had been i'm
paired. made inquiry of the men
and learned that while they were kind
enough to believe me blameless in
those matters still they thought the
institution might be strengthened by
putting someone at its head who was
not Aampered by their impediments.
| felt and freely acknowledged the
force of such sentiment. I hesitated
not to yield even cheerfully to such a
feeling when 1 came to know it was
entertained by men whose character
and purpose knew to be pure and un-
selfish. Accordingly, at the first op-
portunity, namely the January meet
ing of the regents, sert them my re-
signation, to take effect at the end of
the school year. 1t was accepted as Of
fered, but was advised to send it to
the board of trustees. This I did at
their first meeting last March. They
voted to accept it when my successor
is nominated and confirmed. The res
ignation was sent in good faith, and I
had no expectation of remaining in
office beyond the period named-Aug
ust land certainly no wish to remain
under the conditions as they have been
for the most of the time during my in
cumbency.
When have heard of the cruel, un-
just, course and false things which the
governor has been saying publicly
against me have felt it hardship to
be obliged to lay down my Office under
such harsh odium, but I am sure few
good people will think i'll OF me be-
cause of the sayings of one in such evil
dent anger.
During my incumbency OF eight
years and three months l have been
called to serve under nearly sixty diff
feront men on the governing boards.
Many of these men had not been pre-
viously acquainted with colleges and
college management; but can hardly
think of one of them as bad man. OF
course, with such incessant change in
the personnel of the governing boards
it has been impossible to carry out
any continuous plans. BY the time
man became acquainted with the con
ditions of the college, with me and my
professors he left the board.
This fact in connection with the COM
pleX, conflicting, double-board system,
under law not sufficiently explicit, in
my own mind at least, accounts for
most of our troubles.

A Business Change.

Booth Bros.-Mason and Clay-have
purchased the Harker Bros. stock of
boots and shoes, the transfer of the
goods having been completed Thursday.
Messrs. Booth disposed of their hard
ware store here about year ago, and
thought probably they would change
their location but after considerable
hunting around, came to the conclusion
that Mitchell offered as good advant-
ages in mercantile way as any place
they visited and finally decided to 90
into business again. The store will be
under the personal management OF
Mason Booth while Clay will continue
to travel on the road. During his bus
mess career in Mitchell Mr.. Booth has
won large trade by his good business
methods and his old patrons in the
hardware line will undoubtedly follow
him in his present occupation. Harker
Bros. have not decided as to their fu-
ture course as yet

The Immense Grain Crop Will Ee Moved
without Trouble.
A well-knOwn travelling representa-
tive of one Of the railroads in South
Dakota, was asked by Press and Da-
kotan reporter last evening, how the
railroads would manage to get cars
enough to transfer the crop now being
harvested in this section of South
Dakota.
1--WE will have no trouble" he re-
piled, "You must remember that every
railroad has had very little use for cars
during the past year, and reasonably
the rolling stock will be massed in the
neigh borhood where the greatest
amount of freight will be ready for
shipment this fall The flour mills and
the elevators are all empty, and their
wants will be supplied first, which de-
mand will consume a very large pro-
portion of the grain which will be
marketed first. When the bulk of the
crop is ready for moving, the railroads
will be ready to move it. We expect
an enormous business. The crop in
some sections is much better than in
1892, and in other sections of this state
is not so good. AS whole state, how
ever, the grain yield is grand and the
prospects for corn crop are excellent.
"The farmers will make money this
year by holding their grain, I believe
he continued. "Of course a great
many will be compelled to sell early
in order to meet pressing debts but
every man who can hold on ought to
do so. If the market in it's present
condition is flooded it will break, and
the effect upon prices will be bad.
actually believe that it will be wise
thing to hold all the grain possible
until about the first of the year."

a Good Rain.

There were indications enough Sun
day night for couple OF inches of rain
and it practically ended in indications
in this immediate vicinity, although
enough moisture fell to lay the dust
thoroughly. In the southern and
southwestern part of the county there
was greater rainfall and at White
Lake J. T. Stearns, who came in from
there this morning, said over an inch
of water fell.

AN INTERESTING CASE DECIDED
A Decision Rendered by Judge Haney in
the Case of Walker VS.. Smith.


Judge Haney has lied his decision in
the action OF Nellie j. Walker against
j. X. Smith and wife concerning the
title to the property on the corner OF
Fourth and Duff streets known as the
Mayhem house. The decision was in
favor of the plaintiff. The main point
decided in the case was an interesting
one. While Mavhew owned the prop
erty he gave mortgage to one Walker
OF Dubuque, Iowa. Afterwards Dillon
& Preston obtained tax deed to the
premises and Mayhw transferred the
fee title to A. NJ. Bowdle which deed
| was recorded. Afterwards A. M. Bow
die transferred his interest in the prop
erty 10 John F. Dillon by quit claim
deed which was not recorded The
mortgage in favor of Walker was fore
closed by action, Mayhem, Dillon &
Preston and A. M. Bowdle being made
defendants, but John F. Dillon who
held the unrecorded quit claim deed
was not made party and did not ap-
pear in the action. A decree was made
foreclosing the Walker mortgage, the
property was sold and a sheriff's deed
issued March II, 1898. John F. Dillon
transferred his interest to J. l.. Han
nett and J. L. Hannett by quit claim
deed to ]. K. Smith who has had pos
session of the property for the past
three years. 1t was claimed in behalf
of the defendant that John F. Dillon,
owning the title to the property and
not being made party to the foreclos-
ure proceedings, still held an equity and
was entitled to the possession of the
property until action had been brought
| to foreclose his interest. The court de-
cided that by reason of Dillon's quit
claim deed being unrecorded and the
owner OF the mortgage not having no.
tice of his interest his right was cut off
by foreclosure proceedings. The plain
tiff was represented in court by A. E..
Hitchcock and the defendant by j. L.

From the Scientific American.
One of the obstacles In the way of cycling
in New York city, and in other cities, is the
lack of facilities for the transportation of
wheels on the street cars. Hundreds of
wheelers. anxious to take a morning or
afternoon spin. are deferred on account of
the long end dangerous trip required over
the stone pavements and car tracks before
the open country roads can be reached.
The street car people make no provision
for the cyclers, and will not permit their
wheels to be carried on the platforms. They
do things differently at Butte, Mont. There
the street cars are provided with exterior
hooks, on which Cyclers may hang their
wheels The plan is a great success. and
is an accommodation greatly appreciated
by all lovers of the wheel. 1t might be
adopted very easily by all street car COM
panies, ard would add considerably to their
revenues.
In Brooklyn, NY, on Sundays and holt
days the elevated steam railways have be-
come so far liberalized that they admit
wheelers and their wheels to the smoking
cars. a charge of two extra fares being
made for the wheel Hundreds of cyclers
avail themselves of the privilege.

DUMAS LAST DAYS.
What His Friends Thought of Him
His Feeling Toward English.

What His Friends Thought of Him
His Feeling Toward English.
Paris Letter to the London Telegraph
Alexandra Dumas fills in private life was
as Giffepsnt as possible from what he SEEM
ed to be in public. The first impression of
a stranger on being introduced to him is
rot altogether favorable He appeared to
be naughty and reserved in manner: he
had a habit of looking hard at his inter-
lCcutor with his piercing eyes. and his re-
plies, even to compliments. were of the
briefest and most abrupt. He seemed to
have assumed habitual attitude of mis-
trust such as We see in certain wealthy
financers, who behave as If they thought
that everybody they speak to wanted to
get something out of them. Similarly Du-
mas reticence gave a stranger the impress
sion that he set watch over his tongue as
strict financier sets over his purse.
All this GOODNESS of manner melted clean
away under the influence of intimacy, and
gave place to an infinite charm. In at
tempting to describe the effect he produced
on strangers 1 am trying, indeed, with
some difficulty. to recall my own primitive
Impressions. l must confess that was at
first rather prejudiced against him, partly
because 1 thought that his earlier writings
were calculated to do harm and partly on
account of his apparent dislike to every
thing English. At the time l failed to
realize the full extent of the bitterness of
feeling that the events of 1870 had evoked
III the breast of patriotic Frenchmen. They
could not forgive the fortune of war; which
had gone against them, and in their iSola-
ton they looked on all foreigners with sus-.
picion.
Alexandra Dumas fills had, moreover
personal reason fer disliking the English,
for. while denouncing his works, they did
not scruple to take them, without acknowl-
edging either financially otherwise,
their Indebtedness to him. 1t is true that
they awaited themselves of their legal
rights, but in the eyes of the person robbed
this is small consolation. 1t is impossible,
indeed, for an Englishmap who has not
lived in France to realize the amount of
ill-feeling that has been caused by our
formerly unjust copyright laws.
/ alude to it now in order to explain, If
not to justify, the mistrust felt by many
French literary men. Alexandra Dumas
had stories galore to tell of the way in
which he had been defrauded of his rights.
But when he trusted friend his conf
dence was absolute and complete He was
delighted to unbend where he felt that he
was at home, and when surrounded by his
intimates he INDUCED in fun with the ar
dor of a boy. l do not speak of his manner
to his children, for he was their slave but
to the bonhoE1ie he exhibited as soon as he
found himself among congenial spirits. If
he came to a large party where he knew no
one he would remain silent during half the
meal, listening intently to all that was
said, fixing every speaker with his brilliant
eyes, and it was only when he had taken
the measure of every one present that he
would let himself go. But he much pre-
ferred dining en- petit comite.
