A New Company Organized in Madison
Strong Directory and Influential
Backing Throughout the
State.

An enterprise Of much Importance to
this city and to the state wac

who have been carefully looking over the
situation for some time and understand
what they are doing. Those present at

Minneapolis, Il. G. Orr and A. II.
Wheaton, of Brookings. P. F. Sherman

w. A. Mackay, A. E. Clough AID others
of this city. In addition to these, letters
were read from many other prominent
men throughout the state endorsing the
movement and giving their assurance OF
financial backing to the enterprise. The
movement is nothing more nor less than
the. organization of an insurance
company on a plan absolutely new, safe,
and conservative. The company is to be
styled the Agricultural Insurance CON-
pany, with headquarters in this CITY, the
business men of Madison furnishing the
elegant South Dakota bank building
free, for offices. The purpose OF the
company will be to engage first in hail
insurance, and later on q fire department
will be added. The plan will be one not
heretofore adopted by anyother company
and will be put in active operation at
once, so far as getting the organization
perfected, blanks printed and agencies
established. Business will not formally
open up until January /, next.
The tempory organization effected this
morning consists of a board of directors
as follows: H. 1. Olston, Lake Preston,
c. N. Herried, Eureka, P. F. Sherman,
Sioux Falls, A. E. Clough, Madison. A.
H. Wheaton, Brookings, Jos. Frudenfeld,
Minneapolis, John Giese, WATERFOWL, E.
K. G. Gross, Madison, L. c. Taylor,
alexandria. The officers are, A. E.
Clough, president; A. H. Wheaton, vice
president; Jos. Frendenfeld, secretary.
In lieu of a treasurer, there will be a
system of repositories designated here
after by the directors.
The company has secured two Of the
best insurance hustlers in the state for
general field agents-T. G. Orr, Ct
Brooklngs and W. P. Robson OF
P%lankinton.
In it's secretary, Jos. Frudenfeld, the
company has one of the ablest and best
nOstod inrnranco mon in the state and
the only man in the state who ever run
a hail insurance company successfully.
The seven years he conducted the
Plankidton company, Mr.. Frudenfeld
paid out 100000 in losses, meeting
every obligation of the company, while
managing the company. That be will
devise one of the best methods of con.
Quoting a hail insurance company goes
without saying and when the plan is de-
veloped it will prove novel, safe and con-
sentative. He will remain here a day or
two to look up a residence and will then
60 to Minneapolis to return with his
family and take up his abode in this
city. Madison will furnish the new
company substantial backing and has al
ready donated it a magnificent head
quarters.

CHAPTER. II

On hill short distance from the
village, hill shaded by poplar trees,
was an old schoolhouse, originally built
Of logs, but now weatherboarded and
whitewashed. The Widow Burnley had
just told the children that they might
go out and play until she called them,
when the door was darkened by red
dish apparition. The widow uttered a
befitting little shrek, and then, realiz
ing that there was no serious cause for
alarm, said, "Come IMP She would not
have extended this invitation had she
not wanted to set an example of courage.
Dan Miters stepped into the room. He
stood for moment looking at the wild
ow and then said: Don't be afraid of
me. saw you yesterday and didn t
know but you
els it possible?" the woman exclaim-
ed.
''That is what was going to ask, :"
Dan replied, seating himself on bench.
Twenty years sometimes make a great
change in appearance, even though
hearts sometimes remain the same
"Have you come here to reproach me?
Children" she added, turning to sew
eral youngsters that showed a DISPOSE
ton to loiter about the door, run
along now and play"
The children vanished, and the wild
ow, looking out to see if they were
within hearing, said, II have suffered
too much to bear reproach now"

Naomi. Miss Whitney Of Springfield
read brief memorial paper on Mr.. Hub,
bard, who was an original and very alou,
member of our society. Asahel Up,
ham of Windham, VT, then gave very
interesting and instructive paper on the
battles Of Vermont. He said it would
astonish some of us to know that there
were two battles fought in Windhan
county before the Revolution.
The first occurred in June 174S, be-
tween company OF Indians and scout.
ing party of whites, eighteen in number,
commanded by Capt. E'eazer Melvin
This party started from Fort No. 4, now
Charestown,N. H.. travelled through an un
known wilderness tn Crown Point, N. Y
The battle occurred on their return near
where the village of Jamaica now stands
In connection with this Mr.. Upham ex.
hibitsd very interesting relic. 1t was a
small brass sundial compass, supposed to
have been used by Capt. Melvin on this
expedition. Melvin in his diary speaks OF
having thrown away his belt and other ar
ticles, ami it is noticed that while he gives
the compass bearings up to the day of the
battle, there is no such record atterward
The compass, which is not larger than a
silver dollar, was plowed up on the site Of
the battle ground, and now. alter a lapse
of nearly $50 years, it returned to Charles
town, its trembling needle pointing to the
pole. The relic is the property Of Hon
Hoyt Wheeler of Brattleboro. Judge
Wheeler being present was asked to speak
and gave an account of the finding and
condition Of the compass. Capt. Melvin
was killed in battle five years later. Judge
Wheeler said he by chance once visited
Melvin's grave in Concord, Mass the
compass being in bis pocket at the time he
felt as if he ought to restore it to its
owner.
Following Judge Wheeler, Rev. 0 S
Davis of Springfield, gave us fine paper
on Capt. Nathan Hale. He illustrated bis
paper with map giving the route known
and supposed, by which Capt. Hale reached
and returned from the British camp.
Mrs. j. w. Pierce then gave true and
very finely written paper, on Benedict Ar
mold. She showed that though Arnold " as
revengeful in spirit, and deficient in mora
sense, he had many good qualities, and
had endured many sights from bis con-
temporaries, in and out of congress, with
out quitting bis post.
Robert Merrill's subject, John Andre,
was fitting complement to Mrs. Pierce's
The paper was carefully written, and gave
some Of us new ideas of Andres character
The papers we're all Of universally
high order. The thanks of the society are
due to Judge Wheeler and Mrs. Upham
who come from distance to help us MAKE
the meeting success.

Union Historical Society.

One Of the most interesting and instruc-
tive meetings ever held by the
Union Historical society occurred in
Charlestown, N. H., at the Unitarian
church, September l, 1897.
The business meeting at II o'clock was
well at tended. George G. Hubbard was
elected secretary, in place of his father
C. Horace Hubbard, deceased. With
this exception the old board of officers were
reelected. A list of the members who
have died during the year was read. Rev
L. d. Howard, the president, read from
the Harvard register the record of the
life of our late secretary, Mr.. Hubbard
A. M. Albee feelingly spoke of Mr.. Lucius
Streeter, memorable member, who pas.
sed away some months since. Other mem
bers made remarks appropriate to the oc-
casion. The chapel afforded us accom-.

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well if We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The importance of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is
really simple matter if we take a cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such a record of cures as Hood IS
Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds of people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as family medicine by thousands.
HILL, NIL are the only pills to take
iioou . iiio with Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The Village Schools.

The schools in the village opened Mon
day morning with rush, the attendance in
all the grades being something like 700
with more expected in nearly every room.
Before the week is out the number Of pu-
pills will certainly exceed 800.
The beautiful new high school building,
on the site of the Old St. Agnes hall,
swarmed with youthful seekers after knowl-
edge belonging to the high, 9th, 9TH, 9Th
and 9th grades.
The high school commenced with an ex-
traordinarily large number, l34 students
being prese mt, with several more to enter.
The seating capacity of even that spacious
room, which can accommodate 142, threat
ems to be severely taxed. The fourth class
numbers 48, of whom SO have elected
Latin. The spirit of the school seems to
be fine in every respect. The senior class
has % members, and in the third class,
Latin section, are So, who, in very few
weeks, will complete the first book in Latin
and having read several easy Latin stories,
will at once begin Virgil. 1t is expected
that in three or four weeks the physical
laboratory will be in working order, and
it will then be in charge Of Homer Bacon,
who will also conduct classes in French and
German. AS far as possible the work OF
the high school has been put on the depart
ment plan, Professor Crawford having
charge of the Latin, Miss Jessie Judd of
the Greek, Mr.. Bacon Of French, German
and part of the sciences and Miss Annie L
Harrington of the English.
Besides the high school proper, which
occupies the entire west side, there are on
the second floor of the new building five
recitation rooms and library. The farni-
ture in every room seems to have been Sc
lected with view to beauty as we'll as
utility, and the smooth, polished surfaces
can hardly fail to appeal forcibly to the
aesthetic nature of the average boy with 8
good jackknife.
The first room at the right on the first
floor is occupied by the first division of the
9th grade, with "a pupils, and Miss Mary
Dewey as teacher. Across the hall is the
second division of the 9th grade, Miss AL
berta Campbell having also "a.
Next in order comes part of the sixth
grade, Miss Eunice Foster having "a schol-
ars the seventh grade taught by Miss Eva
Fuller, having 80 under instruction; the
9TH and 9Th numbering 80 with Miss Mary
A. Powers teacher and the Sth proper, at
the left Of the entrance, which has 50 pupils
taught by Miss Annie NJ Bemis.
In Building No. on Wells street the
following are located Sixth grade, Miss
Agnes Elmendorf teacher, 81 scholars 18th,
Miss Fannie Chapman teacher, 81; 4th,
Miss Mabel Hunter, 46 Sd, Miss Lucy

In Building No. 8 are found LIST and I'd,
Sd and 9th grades, taught respectively by
Misses Alice Dascomb, Susie E. Thomp-
son, Mabel M. Goodhue and Addie j.
Parker. There are about 40 in each
room.
In Building No. 2 are the 1st and I'd
