Memorial Day Observance.

State Superintendent Crane has sent
out the following communication to the
county superintendents and teachers of
the state, in relation to the observance
of Memorial day by the schools, for
which space is cheerfully given in our
columns:
Decoration day, both North and
South, is becoming the great national
day. 1t is fitting and right that the
generation that shall soon become re-
sponsible for the well.being and the
perpetuity Of our national life should
realize what it cost to preserve the
nation and to make it free. Greater
than anything else in the education of
this generation, vastly greater than any
question about how many facts and
sciences a teacher may have taught his
pupil, is the supreme question, into what
presence he has introduced him before
what standard he has made his pupil
tion are involved all the deepest issues
of the pupils character and life. There
can be no nobler presence than that Of
Freedom and no ideal more worthy.
Decoration day not only Peeps alive
historic memories, but as teacher, this
day brings us into the presence of those
who were willing to lay down their lives
that freedom might live and become
regnant in this Republic Jfthe children
in the common schools could feel the in
spiraton of Freedoms magic wand, who
could measure their power! They
would become vast, resistless host.
Think of the l24 millions Of enrolled
pupils in the schools of this Republic.
No finite mind can comprehend these
numbers. -Four times as many as there
were inhabitants in the thirteen colon.
les when our fathers won liberties for
mankind on the fields from Lexington
to Yorktown. Twice as many as all the
great armies of the fighting nations on
earth that preserve order to-day. AL
most as many as there were English
speaking people In the world az the be-
ginning of this century. With snch an
army, educated to know what freedom
means, nothing is impossible for liberty
and civilization. Therefore we welcome
Decoration day as teacher and would
profit by its lessons.
"Please prepare fitting exercises for
this day and, where possible, report for
duty to the nearest q. A. r. Post If
you cannot join with the Post in Me-
mortal exercises conduct exercises in
your own school room. Let both Coun-
ty superintendent and teacher enter
into this work with will. County
superintendent will please report on or
before June Is, the number of children
taking part in Memorial service"

j. p. Hymer and L. w. Martin, the
committee appointed to take in hand
the matter of making Black Hills
exhibit at the Trsnsmississippi exposi.
ton in Omaha, in 1898, met at Martin &
Mason's office yesterday morning and
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the various towns
and localities of Lawrence county are

mittee upon the Pioneer picnic grounds
in the city of Deadwood, at 8 o'clock

exposition, to be held in the city OF
Omaha during the year 1898; and it is
further
Resolved. That Mr.. j. p. Hymer OF
this committee is named commissioner

people of the county and solicit the co

The Matter Explained.

A gentleman from our city was in
Omaha recently, says the Hot Springs
Herald, and asked several investors in
western securities what Fall River
county and Hot Springs warrants were
worth. They replied that in Hot
Springs prominent banker, lawyer
or two, and several men of doubtful oc-
cupation were continually striving to
impress upon the minds of outside
buyers that our warrants are illegal, that
repudiation will eventually follow and
as q result there was no outside demand.
These home speculators are patriots in
deed. The same gang has been oper-
ating for several years to push our war
rants lower and lower to the end that
they may have a monopoly of warrant
buying and tax paying. The ring has
perfect knowledge Of the outside prop
erty owners and by persistent corre-
spondence has secured the contract to
pay practically all taxes for non-
residents. On good authority we have
it that in some instances cash bonuses
are paid to the property owners for the
privilege of paying taxes in order that
80 cent county warrants may be cashed
at 100 cents on the dollar. If our laws
will not reach such scoundreism they
must be amended, for rascality of that
kind should be punished. Many a
county or town in far worse condition
financially, sells warrants for far more
than our paper is worth. Lawrence
county has larger debt than we and
is on cash basis Men engaged in such
occupation are as black as ever Benedict
Arnold. Today every dollars's worth Of
supplies purchased. or days work done,
costs Fall River county So or more. and
all this fall in price of warrants has
been accomplished within the past two
years. Let every good citizen of our
county use his every effort to advertise
this gang far and wide and as far as
possible curtail their operations for the
future.

Gold Sweaters Bagged.

John s. Byrnes, Guy Flick and Billy
Roman were arrested in Deadwood on
Wednesday by deputy Marshal Walters,
upon the charge of mutilating gold
coins, by the process generally known
as sweating" whereby about one
tenth Of the value of the coins were
extracted and sold to the jewelers. of
that place, and the coins afterw ard
passed at their face value. Richard
Flick. who left Deadwood the day before
the arrests were made, is believed to
have been prominently connected with
the scheme, his sudden departure con-
firming such belief.
Gold coins of deprecated character
have been in circulation in the place for
some time, and detectives had been
engaged in ferreting out the guilty par
ties. The evidence against the accused
is said to be strong and CONCLUSIVE.
Trial was set for today and their bail
fixed at 81 900 each.

Auditor Mayhem had refused to issue
warrants to the commissioners to cover
the personal expenses that they had
been put to until they produced receipts
to show that such expenses had actually
been incurred. The decision of the
supreme court upholds the auditor.
The dispatch further states that the
court will recognize the new regents OF
education as prima facia officers until
the constitutionality ofthe amendments
to the constitution have been tested.
The court expressed grave doubts as to
their constitutionality. This case arose
from an INDUCTION issued by the court,
at the instance of members of the
board of regents, to restrain the
auditor from issuing warrants upon the
order Of the new board. This gives the
auditor power to pay the debts con-
tracted by the new board, and the
legitimate expenses of the state institu-
tions of learning. and will put an end to
a great deal Of embarrassment. The
court will in all probability be called to
pass upon the constitutionality Of this
amendment, bearing upon the organiza-
tion of the board of regents.-Pioneer.
