She Is a Noted Bride.

Chamberlain, s. D., Feb. 5.-The re-
cent wedding Of Myrtle Morrison, the
famous Nowlin county girl broncho
buster" and Frank Dupree. a part
blood Sioux, treated a great sensation
In aristocratic circles on the Sioux res
ervation n adjacent territory. The
bride Is a handsome young cowgirl and
is noted far and neal for her proficiency
in the art Of horse breaking and train
ing. She had many admirers among the
frontier beaux, but always declared
that h would marry any mar
that could not ride, shoot and throw a
lariat better than she could, and, as such
men are extremely rare even in that
stock raising section, ii seemed prob
able that the girl was doomed to lead a
life Of single blessedness. However, last
fall, hay being scafce on the upper Bad
River range, her father removed his
family and stock to Big Plum creek, a
tributary of the Cheyenne river. Here
Myrtle first made the acquaintance OF
the good looking, daring young half
breed who has since become her hus-
band. Frank Dupree is a splendid
horseman, a thorough Cow hand" and
is apparently devoid of fear. The Du-
prees are among the wealthiest stock
men in the state, counting their cattle
by the thousand, and Frank, like many
other mixed bloods in that section, has
received q fair education.

Auditor Sued.

The president of Bookings Agricul-
turai college has brought suit against
Auditor Mayhem to compel him to issue
warrants to educational Institutions
from the endowment fund from the sale
and lease of public lands. The legisla-
ture of 1895 enacted a law requiring a
special appropriation before this fund
can be drawn upon and Auditor Nipple
has since refused to issue the warrants.
The suit is in the nature Of mandamus
proceedings and is brought TO get a
ruling from the supreme court. Failing
to obtain a decision authorizing the au-
ditor to draw warrants, Governor Lee
will ask the legislature to repeal the
law OF 1895.

Pierre. Feb. ga bill taxing and regu-
lating grain warehouses was passed Ia the

1000 grain warehouses in the state and the
total fees therefore amount 10 $i0,0gV Tn
like the present law, the railroad commits
sioners are directed to use this FUND for
the purpose OF employing lawyers TO en-
force the provisions OF the warehouse and
railroad law, Notwithstanding the atlor-
ney general and the county attorneys are
directed to prosecute all violations.
That the bill was passed In the senat
was due to the efforts OF Senator Palmer.
1t received a majority of three, eight pop
uiists voting for the measure.
An opponent of the measure commenting
on II to a correspondent said:
1T is a job, pure and simple, that will
cost the farmers OF the state nearly IS. 900
a year in excess of tho present require
ments. 1t will be seyerest upon the farm
er, for the reason that farmers cannot
now load their own grain or store IL In
%granarles or warehouses without first OBJ
tanning a license. Every purchaser of
grain is held to be a warehouse man. If
farmers do not rally to oppose this meas
ure IL will pass the house and soon become
a law. 1t seems TO have 10 other object

Who's For the High School?

There should be no misunderstanding
in the coming school election. In GER
tain quarters there is a distinct opposi-
ton to the present school system of
the city, particularly against the high
school, There is little doubt with US
that the majority of voters in each
ward favor the high school. There is
little doubt but that a majority of
Democrats, of Republicans. of men as
of women favor the high school and do
not wish to nominate or elect a man
or woman who is opposed. We may be
mistaken, but there is certainly a large
percentage in each ward of people who
would not think of voting for man
who is opposed to the present school
system, high school and all. Conse-
quently the voters are entitled to
know the views of every candidate for
the Office Let there be no mistakes.
Primaries should require d clear IN
Outstanding on this matter before
nominations are made. Those that are
not for the high school are against it.
He who will not declare for the high
school declares against it. If a party
nomiaates a man opposed to this
branch of the schools let the party dc
SC knowing him to be opposed.
