the many tributes to the graduates who
have been secured as teachers all over
the state bear testimony. In fact It is
almost impossible for one TO get first
class position without Normal training,
and applications for teachers are greater
than the supply. Another advantage of
the Normal to the town is the many
families it brings as inhabitants, who
come to educate their children and thus
add to the population.
The public schools have always been a
matter Of pride to our citizens. The
east side school house was soon too full,
and still with the addition of the fine
new High school building, more room is
needed. With Prof. McClenon as prin
cipal, and as efficient corps OF teachers
as can be found anywhere, they jointly
deserve the praise given them. Madison
is fortunate in its facilities for acquiring
knowledge, and one OF the most import
ant and gratifying means is through the
Chautauqua. Bringing as it does to all
the opportunity of hearing the greatest
speakers, musicians and specialists Of
the time, added to the pleasure Of out
door life, il gives to everyone who at
tends an inspiration to higher intel
lectual life and enables many to enjoy
who otherwise would be denied the priv.
ilege, and it is privilege which
we do not always appreciate. No one
can estimate the Eenefit it is to the chill
dren in the more advanced schools to at
tend the scientific lectures alone.
And our papers have also shown CON-
mendable enterprise. They have kept
abreast OF the times, and from two
weekly editions We have now two daily
papers besides several weeklies. All are
ably edited, and it is not their fault ii
anyone is not informed on all OF the cur
rent events OF the day. They have been
an important factor in the progress OF
the town and should be literally sup.
ported, az through their columns we ex-
pect to open the door Of opportunity to
many who are dissatisfied and will find a
home with us, thus benefiting the whole
country.
Madison has made steady progress
without anything OF the mushroom
growth which has been such detriment
to many OF our Dakota towns. Every
year has witnessed some marked I'M
provement until most OF the necessary
improvements are provided, and many
that towns OF this size do not usually
possess. One Of the most valuable 10 the
water works, which will be not only
safeguard to life and property % has al.
ready been proven. but will make the
town much more attractive than would
be possible without them. Inconnection

liciting for one church social now-a-
days. We didn't have angels food cake,
to be sure, but pork cake is very good
substitute.
Religious ardor did not flag, as devo-
tional exercises in various places we're
held. The Presby terians held service in

eating the Territorial Normal school at
Madison, the announcement was hailed
with joy. The papers go: out their
weekly editions in spite of circumstances.
Sometimes they were printed on wrap.

one issue was printed on tissue paper
and pockethandkerchiefs. We see by
one kept as souvenir, the locals CON-
mence as follows: mo butter; sugar
famine; grub gave out" etc. 1t also
says with reference to matters and
things, I'VE expect to hold the fort and
come out of it ready for an active cam
paign," and Of course they did with such
enterprise that they have built a town
We are all proud Of, for they were all
public-spirited and responded TO every
call for the welfare Of the town, and
most generously to every call OF distress.
When spring opened many newcomers
we're welcomed. Everyone was busy
and prosperous. The residence part OF
the town began to grow, homes were
built, and it has maintained a steady
growth in that respect until it is said
that Madison has more comfortable
homes than any other town OF it's size in
the state.
Within two or three years, the school
house, the Baptist, Catholic, Presbyter-
ian and Methodist churches we're bnilt.
The Normal school building was fin
ishe d and was the pride Of the town;
but, alas, it had been occupied but a
short time when one night the alarm was
given that "the Normal school 10 on fire
and nothing can save it," Everyone
was disheartened. but were equal TO the
emergency. Accommodations we're
found for all OF the classes and the work
OF rebuilding soon began, and although
it has labored under disadvantages 1t has
prospered in spite OF them. Gen., Bea.
die, the president, is absorbed, heart and
soul, in the work Of advancing the
school to the position it should attain
and he is ably assisted by his staff oi
teachers. To all who have watched the
progress Of the Normal school is the
advancement manifest. No one can zee
the earnest faces Of the students without
realizing the great good done BY the

ings and getting them into place was
continued. Many new buildings were
commenced and finished as much Rs
time permitted. The Union Block, which
was considered great accession to the
town, was built.
II mem.ry fails not, the business firms
were found as follows: On the west
side of the street, came first, Colman's
lumber yard, managed by Wesley Hill,
and residence. This was about the or
ly house in town that was finished oil,
and as Mrs. Hill brought flowers with
her it made their home very attractive,
as most Of the houses we're upholstered,
and living was only enduring until
spring should come. Then came the
depot: OF the Milwaukee road, whose
agent, Billy Mallon, had his Office in an
old boarding car. After this vacant
stretch until we came to E. Batchelder's
building, occupied by him as saloon
and residence. The next saloon, owned
by Alex Mckay, and then Mr.. Harth's
general store. AS Mr.. Harth was post
master, the postoffice was also located
here. Here was to be found J. M. Pres
ton, as deputy, and Charlie Bergstreser,
az chief clerk, and after this came the
Union block, occupied by DAILY Il Fitz-
gerald, j. A. Trow, register OF deeds, A..
e. Clough's drug store and office, Clark
& Cameron's store. Next came MIR.
Laws building, after this on the corner
]. w. Davison's new building, the upper
part finished of as a hall, in which for
several years court was held. as we'll as
all of the public meetings, entertain.
ments, church socials, etc. Across the
street on the other corner was F. w.
Thaxter's bank building, with residence
in the fear. After this came several one
story buildings occupied as Offices, in
one of which was the Sentinel, edited by
w. II. Jones, and in another was the Of
flee OF w. f. Smith and F. L. Soper.
The only two-story building in this
block was A. A. Broadie's drug store.
The upper rooms were occupied by Dr.
jerks and family. In the next block,
John Mccormick, familiar to all as Un.

A circular has just been issued for
general distribution by the Iowa Loan
4 Trust TO-, setting forth the desirable
ity OF certain lands they hold along the
Elkhorn Valley r. r. in Nebraska and
stating that the condition OF said lands
is very similar TO the conditions in cen.
trail and southeastern South Dakota"
This, it will be observed is borrowing
the credit Of far famed South Dakota
lands TO help o0t the lands of a poorer
country. But not content with this the
circular goes On to say: "We shall for
the next tan days offer to exchange some
of our faruns ii Nebraska for lands in the
southern halt Iof South Dakota. We
have no cAjecki&ns to n.ortgaged farms
provided Sk&y 4fs not too heavily mort
gagged and II We buy your land, we will,
II required, furnish seed to good farmers
and rent you the land you now have for
this year." II in the light of such
strong outside endorsement OF the value
of Dakota lands any farmer in this coun-
ty wants to trade off his farm and
go south here is his chance.
