STOCKMEN HAVE A PLANT.
Want Railroads to Issue Return Tick
cts for Each Car of stock
shipped.

Topeka. Kas.. July 10.-(SpeCial) Com
plants are being made by stock shippers
because of the failure of the railroads to
comply with the new law requiring them
to issue a return ticket for each car of
stock shipped to market The roads have
always given a return trip ticket for two
loads shipped. but tEe shippers did not
think that was enough. They succeeded
in getting a bill through the legislature
last winter compelling railroads to give a
pass for each car. So far the roads have
paid no attention TO the new law and the
stock shippers are considering the adVis-
ability Of holding 4 conference in a short
time with a view 10 bringing prosecutions
for its violation.

SPLENDID PRIMARY TEACHER.

Miss Fannie Foster Issues q Small Treatise
on Teaching in Primary Departments.
The following is taken from the
Yankton Gazette and refers to young
lady we'll known in Mitchell and who
enjoys the high distinction of being the
most advanced primary teacher in the
northwest: "The Gazette job rooms
have this week issued for Miss Fannie
Foster, supervisor of the primary de-
prrtment of the Sioux City schools,
little treatise upon Mature Study as a
Basis for Reading and Language for
Primary Grades, which is intended to
supplement her splendid primary work
in the teachers institutes. 1t seem to
US that it is the most practical and nat
ural thing in the way of implements for
child teaching we have ever seen, lead
ing the little ones. as it does through
the garden, the field, among the flowers
and trees and birds, beside the ripping
stream, into the deep shady woods, out
in the feecy snow drifts of winter, and
everywhere almost unconsciously, but
nevertheless certainly and lastingly
impressing a lesson, reading drill, an
expansion and direction OF language, q
broadening of knowledge of the beau
ties and wonders of nature. We see no
reason why this method should not
come into immediate and universal use
The popularity of it among teachers to
whom its merits have been presented
is indicated by the fact that almost
every teacher in Yankton county eag-
erly purchased it the minute it came
from the press.

able TO pass the required examination On
they could not secure certificates be-
cause of their ages. 1t is grossly
fraudulent for institute conductors to
certify to the list as made up in many
counties, and it is great snap for
teachers who have hard work to earn
sixty or seventy dollars month in their
regular school work, to get from one
to two dollars per hour for teaching
in the institute. But then, it is per-
haps no worse to bleed the taxpayers
in order to pay high prices for low
grade teaching in the county institutes
than it is for the state to maintain at
great expense q district school at the
state university. There is great need
of the taxpayers doing little think
ing and there is also an urgent need of
doing away with some of the hum bugs
which have fastened themselves to the
educational system Of our state.

MEET ON THE SAME DAY.

Democrats Hold Their Convention at the
Same Time the Populists.
About dozen democrats came in
from the west Tuesday to attend
the meeting of committeeman which
had been called here that day. Among
those who attended were S. II. Wright,
L. S. House, Edwin Greene and James
Brown, of Chamberlain, H. F. Fellows
and Thomas Taubman of Plankinton, I.
A. Weeks and G. r. Tinan, of Kimball,
Harry Wentzy OF Pukwana, and G. G.
Heron of Oacoma. These with sever
al of the faithful of this city formed the
the convention which assembled in j.
K. Smiths office. 1. A. Weeks was
made chairman and Thomas Taubmar
secretary. The mem bers talked of the
necessity OF keeping their party organi.
zation together and it is probably for
this reason that convention was
called. Their judicial convention will
be held in this city on Sept. 16, and as
this is the same date on which the popu.
lists hold their convention the coincid
ence has some elements OF fusion sur.
rounding it. The county convention.
will be held Sept. 9th. There are
three democratic candidates for the
nomination of judge in this CIRCUIT and
it is to secure the nomination of one Of
their candidates that they are making
show OF party unity. S. H. Wright
and James Brown of Chamberlain and
q. F. Fellows of Plankinton are the
candidates, while the pops have equally
as many. There is hardly any doubt
but what the two parties will get to-
gether on one cadidate, for it is very
much as democrat said: "anythine
to beat the republicans" The demo
crates claim to feel hurt because the,
were not consulted either publicly O,
privately rs to the calling OF the popu
list convention, and some of them sa,
that it may mean fusion and it may not
probably very much depending upor
what the populists do.
