SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
aOcal Institute Arranged--Other
Business Transacted.

A long session of the city school
board was held on Monday evening and
various matters of business connected
with the schools were considered. Es-
Inmates were received for repairs. At
their request the Mitchell Hose COM
pany was released from their contract
with the board.
A communication was received from
County Superintendent Taylor in re-
gard to the institute and read. He de-
sired to ascertain If the city teachers
would attend the county institute.
President Colville reported that the
city superintendent had been instruct
ed to consult the teachers as to their
wishes in the matter. Superintendent
Forbes stated that he had consulted
all but six of the teachers. Forty-two
favored holding the institute at home.
and two were in favor of going to
Scranton. OF the others who had not
been personally consulted he thought
that three at least desired a local in
stitute. 1t was found that no aid by
way of appropriation from the board
would be required. Mr.. Alexander
moved that the superintendent and
teachers be authorized to hold a city
institute. The motion was adopted.
The superintendent, in announcing the
resignation of Miss Mary Forbes as
teacher, informed the board that two
vacancies were to be filled. Edgar r.
Hickman, graduate of Dickinson col
lege, was elected to fill the place held
formerly by Miss Hyde and his salary
fixed at 500. Miss Corbin, of New
York, was appointed at a salary of S35
to take the place vacated by Miss
Forbes.
The teachers are arranged as fol-
lows: Central High school, Mr.. Heck
man, Misses Corbin and Ella Boland;
Miss Ella Harte in place of Miss Swi-
gest at No. 2 school; Misses Bridget
Gilmmartin, Katie Walsh and Katie
Kennedy to No school; Misses Lydia
Gilmartin, Martha Hards, and Anna
Lotus at No. school; Miss Kate Gith-
ms at No. z: Misses Gabrielle Coleman
and Anna Mclean to No. s: Misses
Margaret Murphy and Lizzie Walsh to
school No. 9. Several resolutions were
passed respecting rules. The commit
tee on the course of study will print

Forbes was elected as an attendance
officer. The contract for hauling coal
was awarded to John Booth.

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS

Is beautiful possession. II a woman owns
one, and IL single pearl drops off the string,
she makes haste TO find and restore II.
Good health Is a more valuable possession
than a necklace of the most beautiful pearls,
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem indifferent until it is almost
too late, and they cannot be restored.
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death, and that is a sin, 1t is a sin
because it is the result of repeated violations
of natures laws.
Pain, lassitude and WEAKNESS, inability to
sleep, dreadful dreams, starting violently from
sleep, are all symptoms of nerve trouble.
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health. In ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the womb, the ovares and the bladder
are affected. They are not vital organs, hence
they give out soonest.

The Supreme Court Of the state
sustained Auditor Mayhem in his
ruling that state officers must fur
nish vouchers and receipts for ex-
pense money paid out before he will
issue warrant for the same. The
case was brought by H. W. Sawyer
on a bill of $50 he had filed for his
expenses as secretary of the Railway
Commission. Auditor Mayhem re-
fused to allow the bill until Sawyer
furnished vouchers to prove that he
had paid out this money. The audi
tors ruling and courts decision will
undoubtedly save the state many
dollars.

A close perusal OF statenewspapers
and personal observation will con
vince any one that n slow but grad
ual improvement has begun all over
South Dakota. Every organized
county has gained some new settlers,
and old citizens who had moved to
other states are returning. Many
towns report the filing up of houses
that had been vacant for some time,
and building operations again re-
sumed. People generally have more
confidence and encouragement this
spring than they have had for sever
al years, and are not slow to mani
fest it. This, of course, is no new
sudden improvement. 1t is the re-
suit of changed conditions that are
now beginning 70 bear fruit. This
section at least of South Dakota has
been slowly but surely getting on it's
feet for five years, although the pro-
gress has necessarily been $50 slow
that many could not see it without
some direct comparison between this
locality and some other place. But
it's fact just the same, and the
records will prove that even after
three years OF panic and industrial
depression in the United States,
Hand county had more resources per
capita in 1896 produced right here
than during any previous year in
her history. This, the PRESS claims,
is due to her adoption of mixed hus-
bandry, raising grain. cattle, horses,
sheep, poultry, vegetables, and max
ing butter. Taken all together these
things are bound TO win out. Fol
lowing one of them exclusively
is to court disaster.

A STATE ENTERPRISE.

Everyone should take pride in helping
to maintain a first class newspaper with
ia the state, one which is devoted to
South Dakota's interest, and which is
bending its energy to push the state for
ward,
Every republican Should take pride in
helping to build up party newspaper
within the state which is fighting for tho
success of republican principles.
When this can be done and at the same
time greater value be gotten for less mon-
ey every one should take hold. The
Sioux Falls Argus Leader has lately
greatly improved its new service and has
in view still other improvements. 1t
rrints by far more state news than any
other daily which circulates among South
Dakota people. 1t prints the full Asso-
cated Press dispatches. Its editorials
are crisp and pow srful. 1t is in closer
touch with affairs OF the state and the
party than any rival and furnishes more
news of interest. Its legislative service
this year is handled by by j. Tomlinson,
Ir. and will lie far more elaborate and
more interesting than that OF any other.
1t reaches It's readers as quickly or more
so than any other paper.
It's subscription price is only four doll
lars per year. Every Eepubiicon in South
Dakota should take it. Ii is worth sur
more than the MONEY. Argus Leader,

+. }. Robinson, who recently ar
rived from Illinois and occupies the
Coward place Just south of town, is
an experienced creamery man, hav-
ing worked at butter-making for
nine years. He has helped to pro-
duce the celebrated Elgin H., butter.
Mr.. r. thinks that creamery would
be grand good thing for Miller and
the surrounding country, and in the
short space of a year or two would
greatly increase the value Of land,
and make "a sure, steady trade for
the town, because a creamery inyari-
ably attracts a closer settlement
around it than any other branch of
farming. This is the experience re-
corded by no less than fifty towns in
this state, and when one examines
into the question little it is singu-
lar the business men and neighbor-
ING farmers make no move in the
matter. There are numerous towns
in the state right now that would
not take double the price of their
creameries and do without them.
These are facts, and can be easily
verified by inquiries at such towns as
kimball, Iroquois, and dozens OF
others, where settlement was no
thicker than about Miller when the
creameries were started.
