have been in attendance on the United

from further duty until May 25, when
the court will again be in session.
These gentlemen, together with c. G.

case, who was charged with receiving
stamps stolen from the Highmore post
office, but they were not permitted to
testify in the case. This is another

burglars were implicated in shipping

SOUTH DAKOTA BUTTER.

This Product Tops the Market Over the
Famous Eigin Butter.
A special from Vermillion says: For
many years the Elgin butter has been
the standard by which all other
creamery products in the United States
have been measured. South Dakota
has been rapidly coming to the front as
a formidable competitor. The indus
try is new one for the state, and many
things have had to be placed beyond
the experiment, but now the prospect
is that the dairy will take the place of
other kinds of farm work in certain dis
tricts, and South Dakota will be the
leading dairy state in the union. The
latest quotations of the butter market
places South Dakota's product half
cent higher than that of Elgin. This
means great deal to the state, and es-
pecially to Clay county, for some of the
best creameries in the state are in op.

quotations, which gave the state such
flattering returns, were made in sam.

MEETING OF EDUCATORS.

Committee of Ten Educators to Formu-
late Uniform Course of Study.
When the state educational associa-
tion met at Vermillon curing the
winter, a COMMITTEES ol ten educators,
representatives OF the leading colleges
and high schools, was appointed whose
duty was outlined by the association,
or, rather, suggestions were offered as
to what was desired in the way of
adopting Il uniform course of study for
the entire state. Hardly any two
schuuls in the state pursues the same
course of study that is the same studies
do not occur at the same period. To
adopt uniform course was the object
of this committee and it was called to
meet here Friday and Saturday. Ow-
ing to the uncertainty of trains there
were only four members present-Prof.
G. Nj. Young, of Vermillion, Prof w.
j. McMurty, Of Yankton college, Prof.
Il. e. French, of Elk Point, and Prof.
e. j. Quiglcy of this city. A program
was outlined and each of the gentle
men vas given topic on which to pre-
pare paper and which had reference
to the arrangement of the course of
study. The committee met in the Dix
house parlors Friday evening and lis
tened to the papers which had been
prepared by the members. 1t is big
task this committee has undertaken,
but it will result in providing South
Dakota with an educational system
which is in vogue in many OF the east
ern states. The Importance and neces-
sity for such method is apparent to
anyone who is interested in progressive
educational facilities, for under such
conditions all the schools in the state
will be working on the same basis and
the graduates from each community
will in measure be on the same foot
ing in the preparatory work of entering
colleges. Before the committee ad-
iourned FIVE other committees were
appointed for managing the following
five departments: language, English,
mathematics, science and history, and
chairman for each committee will be
appointed who will call to his assist.
ancA MS many educators as he thinks
necessary. The meeting adjourned
Saturday morning and another will
probably be held during the summer or
fall. The members of the committee
returned home Saturday.

SOME WEATHER FOR MAY.

Fine Weather Will Prevail and 'Tis Best
to Push all Agricultural Work.
Prophet Hicks makes the following
forecast for May weather: A reaction
ary storm period is entral on the lst
and I'd of May, with moon in apogee
and new on the 1st. On and next to
these dates look for general storm con-
ditions to pass eastwardly over the
country. A very warm wave is apt to
attend the disturbances the two or
three first days of May, ending in some
rapid storms. Much cooler nights will
follow the disturbances, being attended
by possible frosts in many parts be-
tween the Sd and 9th. A mercury
equinox is central on the 7th, the same
day as the regular Vulcan storm period.
There will be marked tendency to
cloudy unsettled weather much of the
time Of Mercury's period, which runs
from the Sd to 18th, but the time of
greatest and heaviest storm probabili-
ties will be about Friday, the 7th, to
Tuesday the llth. If the temperature
is high air sultry winds easterly to
southerly and barometer low and fall
ing, dangerous storms should not sur
prise any section. Very cool nights
and some heavy frosts to the north will
follow with the high barometer that
succeeds these disturbances. About
the 18th, begins reactionary period
of change and storm that will more than
likely continue over the full moon or
the 10th, and into the Vulcan period
central on the 18th. There are severa
reasons to believe that storms of much
violence may appear between the l4tf
and Dist. The moon is at perigee or
the 18th, full on the 10th, and at ex
treme south declination on the l7th, al
of which are favorable to a marked de

THE SECOND DEATH.
Little Freda Lyons Dies From the Result
of the Kerosene Explosion.

Just two weeks ago Tuesday Mrs.
Alfred Lyons and her little daughter
were severely burned, resulting from a
kerosene explosion, while the little
child was attempting to resuscitate a
fire in the kitchen stove. In the eX-
plosion the bottom OF the can was blown
out, spreading the oil over her clothes
which Immediately caught fire and
burned her severely, but at the
time it was not thoughtdangerous. The
mother, however, Jared worse and a
few days after the explosion she died.
The last chapter OF the sad affair was
recorded this morning at few minutes
before o'clock, when the little sufferer
died, aged twelve years. 1t was at
first thought that the little girl would
recover ana for several days she show
ed indications of improvement, but the
little body was too frail to resist the
cruel wounds inflicted by the fire and
her little life went to join that of hel
mother. In the past week the little
one has suffered considerably, the
wounds under her right arm and close
to her hip being particularly painful
these two wounds ultimately being the
cause of her death. The neighbor'
have been very kind to the unfortunate
family since the accident occurred
having taken charge OF the household
and ministered to their wants with {
true Christian spirit. Mr.. Lyons ha
been very unfortunate in having the
double affection and has the sympath,
of al in his bereavement. The funera
services were held Wednesday after
noon at 4 o'clock in the Lutheran
church OF the south side.

General orders No. 5 have just been
issued by M. P. Stroupe, assistant ad-
jutant general of the department of
South Dakota, G. A. r., relative to the
fourteenth annual encampmedt of the
department. This year the encamp-
ment will be held at Eedfield on June 9
and 10, and on the same dates will occur
the annual convention of the Womans'
Relief Corps and also the encampment
Of the Sons of Veterans, consequently
Redheld will have its hands full in
entertaining the usually large crowds
which attend the annual encampments.
Among the visitors of national repu-
tation will be John H. Mullen, senior
vice commander, who will represent
the commander-in-chi Among the
candidates for com mmander of the de-
partment this year is Rev. G. B. Clark,
of Huron, and formerly of this city.
The Huron post has been securing
support for his candidacy all winter
and they are strong in the belief that
he will be successful. The railroads
have made rate of one fare for the
round trip to Redfeld and the hotels
have agreed to give rates Of S1.00 and
S1.5O per day. Old soldiers who want
to camp out will be provided with tents

On and about the Oath and 25th, reac-
tionary storm conditions will appear
with rain and bluster in many sections.
The month goes out in q regular storm
period with the moon at ''new" on the
3lst, being the second new moon in May.
A very warm wave will be in progress
with storms moving from western ex-
tremes as the month goes out. But
for the oppositions of Saturn and Uran-

of placidness. Look for much fine
weather anyway and push your belated

RESCINDED THEIR ACTION.

A Portion of the Water Main Extension
Will not be Laid on Third Street.
The city council held a special meet
ing Thursday evening to take definite
action on the city election returns.
The only returns that were in anyways
doubtful were those from the Third
ward and there did not seem to be any
question on the face of the returns as
to Mr.. Grace's election as alderman.
On motion of Aid. Bracy, seconded by
Aid. Levinger the returns made to the
city auditor from Third ward were &C.
cepted, which entities Mr.. Grace to a
place in the future deliberations OF the
council.
The extension of the water main on
west Third street was again brought
up. On motion of Aid. Johnston, Sec
onded by Aid. Nielsen it was decided
by the council to rescind the motion
concerning the laying of 432 feet OF
water main on the extreme west end of
Third street. This action of the coun.
Gil seems to meet with general approval,
at least the comments heard were ir
that direction.
