WATER WORKS FOR ELK POINT,

We have several times called atten-
ton to the fact that water works for
Elk Point would probably long ago
have been an accomplished fact, but for
the provision in the original charter
limiting bonds for public improvements
to s 5000. At the general election in
1896 an amendment to the State Con-
stitution was passed, which we give in
full above. In the opinion of competent
attorneys this amendment gives the
city privileges additional to the
original charter, so that the mayors
call for q special election, published
elsewhere, is a regular procedure, and
a favorable vote will give US the long
desired water works. The amount o,
bonds called for, $4,000, is we'll within
the limit, the assessed valuation of the
city for 1897 being sl24,652. A waite,
supply for Elk Point has become ar
absolute necessity for fire protection
and other domestic purposes. There
seems to be a strong, popular feeling
that we should at once take advantage
of the opportunity authorized by the
new amendment, and we expect to set
the enterprise carry by a large majority

The Argus-Leader says l.. c. Camp

Northwestern Life Insurance Company,
Is in a state OF mind because Insurance
Commissioner Kipp allows the Ancient
Order of Pyramids to do business in
the state without a certificate, and
intimates that this is due to Mr.. kipp's
negligence. We believe it is due
to nothing Of the kind. The Ancient
Order of Pyramids is a ~fraternal
organization with insurance benefits,
and under the laws Of the state en-.
titled to a certificate to do business
without putting up a bond as required
Of the straight life companies. An
attempt is being made, we understand,
to compel the A. o. p. to put up a
bond not required OF any other frater-
nal organization. This unjust dis
elimination should cease at once.

On our first page this week We give
our readers an appreciative estimate
of the life of Prof. w. S. Tyler by n
leading New York journalist, MI.
Henry l.. Bridgman. It is so dis
eliminating and sympathetic that we
give it entire, only adding a word of
personal testimony to the worth and
influence OF Prof. Tyler.
Since boy hood the writer has known
Prof. Tyler intimately, and for three
years during his college course it was
his unspeakable privilege to be under
his careful tuition in the classroom.
A quarter Of d century ago Prof. Tyler
was Familiarity yet reverentially known
among the students as "Old IT," still
his active connection with the college
did not close until he had completed
sixty-five years of service. Such q
record, both as to duration and kind,
can scarcely be paralleled in the edu.
c~ational history Of this or any country.
Amherst alumni were wont to regard
Prof. Tyler as one of the immortals, 80
fresh and perennial we're his mental
powers in the midst of his years. And
the same life and yigor he impaired to
the dead" language which he taught.
Under his inspiration the Greek tongue
became a living, palpatating thing,
awakening yer in an Indifferent
student a nicely and accuracy OF ex'
preston which no other language,
modern or ancient, can even measur.
ably approach. More than to any
other influence the writer owes TO Prof.
Tyler whatever of facility or exactness
he may have acquired with the pen.
1t was the qualities of the man rather
than the richness OF his acquisition
that endeared Prof. Tyler to all who
knew him. Standing at the head o.
American scholarship in the Greel
tongue he wal as modest and unassum'
ing Is a child. Students went to him
with their troubles as naturally as to
parent. No interest was too remote
and no difficulty too trivial for Prof
Tyler's attention when brought to hin
by an earnest mind. His patience
with a dull student no less than hi.
