A pEREMpTORY WRIT.

Judge Webber has issued per-
emptory writ of mandamus compell-
ing the school trustees and teachers
of School District No. 46, Redwood
Falls township, to accept the child Of
"a. w. Edwards as q pupil in that
school and to teach the child as the
other pupils Of the school are taught.
It will be remembered that this case
crystallized some time last December
or in the early part of January. The
teacher, Miss Laura Bryan, sought to
compel the child of A. W. Edwards,
who was pupil in the school, to car
ry water from the Edwards farm
house to the school. The child re-
fused to obey the teacher and the
teacher expelled the child from
school. Whereupon the Edwards un-
der the title of the estate of Minneso-
ia ex rel Rose A. Edwards, Relator," /"
sought to compel Michael Morley, di-
rector, James G.. Christianson clerk,
and Laura Bryan, teacher, to take
back the pupil. The school board
and teacher employed Judge Bowers
to defend the case while Baldwin &
Patterson we're employed by the Ed
wards people.
An alternative writ was issued short
ly after the case was commenced. The
writ compelled the school board to
either take the pupil back or to show
cause why it did not do so. The school
board decided to show cause. At the
special January term, however, Judge
Bowers made motion to quash the
writ. Judge Webber over ruled the
motion and gave the respondents the
usual time to prepare an answer. The
answer was filed and testimony taken,
and Judge Webber last Wednesday
gave his decision. At the close, he
states:
"It is ordered that the answer of
each of the respondents be stricken
out as sham, frivolous and irrelevant,
and that the relator have judgment
for peremptory writ of mandamus
commanding respondents to perform
the acts set forth in the alternative
writ, together with the costs and dis
bursements.'
In a letter to Judge Bowers Judge
Webber states that the case was the
first Of the kind to pass under his rul-
ing, and that he could not find any
direct authorities upon the subject.
The Judge hinted that precedent in
law might be established by taking
the case to thesSupfeme Court.

GAME MIGRATING.
Geese, Brant and Ducks Coming to
Northern Resorts.

Wild geese, duck and brant have
been flying northwards in large num-
bers during the past two weeks. Old
timers consider the migrations of
these gamey animals, as they go from
north to south and south to north, one
of the best barometers of coming
weather known, and hence the predic-
ton that spring is here in earnest.
Last Thursday big flock of geese,
accompanied by one white winged
crane, went over the city. They flew
high and we're going northwards rap
idly, all of which led the old timer to
remark that spring was then going to
be hasty and that we would have lit
tie cold weather during the remainder
of this season.
The heavy rains of last year, fol-
lowed by the deep snow of the past
winter, has been great boon to the
geese and ducks in their migrations
from the south. Every little available
spot is full of swater, while the big
sloughs of Redwood county, and So
called lakes, are filed to the top with
water. This gives the birds plenty of
chance to rest over night or to stop
and enjoy alswim in the clear waters,
dive for favorite piece of mud or
jerk away at some old and tough
grass. And if the place is found suit
able for any pair of the large number
for nesting and brooding over pros
pective family the twain at once COM
mence the preparing of nest.
There is considerable of this latter
stopping apparent already. The birds
from the south have to large extent
concluded that there is sufficient wa
ter and feed for them to remain for
the summer and the sportsman is nat
urally jubilant over the prospect.
Many corn fields went unhusked last
year and the birds are getting in
prime condition for their appearance
on the tables of the hunters.
In this connection it is we'll to state
that number of sports have been out
already, but they have been unfortu-
nate in their 'bagging," or else their
powder and shot is not of the right
kind. A party consisting of ]. A. En-
gelhart, L. A. Guth and Stephen
Golden were out on Tuesday of last
week. They we're several miles south
of town and just got glimpse Of what
they supposed was big flock of geese
in slough unusually we'll filled with
water. Anticipating big haul of
birds the three planned a mode of at
tack It was agreed that Messrs. En-
gelhart and Guth should steal eau
tiously around the slough to place
very near the geese and fire so as to
drive the birds towards Mr.. Golden.
The distance they we're to travel was
about mile. Mr.. Golden was to move
to place directly opposite, about
half mile. Messrs. Engelhart and
Guth crawled on their hands and
knees all the way to the spot selected,
absorbing about three-quarters Of an
hour. Mr.. Golden approached by
running his body we'll down into his
legs. He got to his point first. He
waited for Engelhart to arrive and
fire. Mr.. Engelhart finally reached
the spot, Mr.. Guth several rods be-
hind, and fired. Not bird flew. On
closer inspection toe party ascer-
tanned that what seemed to be a flock
of geese was nothing but lot of
fence posts just sticking out of water.

Soon Over 1t Is to Be Hoped.

It is to be hoped that our quar-
antine will be practically over now
in a day Or two, III its stringent
form anyway. THE PROGRESS
still believes the trains could have
been allowed to run, had one Of
our most experienced doctors been
placed on each, going as far as the
State line each way, and with one
or two good officers to enforce his
orders. Under this plan it would
have we'll paid our city to have
paid Drs. Gray. Billiu, Ford,
Booth, Egan, Allen, Fisher or as
many of these as were necessary
s25 per day each. They were all
here, we believe, during the cpl
demic Of 1878, and have had prac-
teal experience in attending yell
low fever. And when it became
universally known that Shreveport
was sending out her most skillful
physicians to the the utmost bord-
ers of our State, accompanied by
experienced and trained officers to
watch and protect our city, con-
fdence would have been felt every
where, legitimate freight and pas
senger travel would have contin-
ued and our business would have
been only partially curtailed. This
may sound silly to some people
and it may be a silly proposition,
but we have this consolation, it is
no more so than pr ropositions,
suggestions and opioions of some
physicians, said to be experts.

has been discussed in the Swedish
newspapers.
In preparing her case Miss White has
accumulated an immense amount of
documentary evidence. She claims to
be the lineal descendant of the great
and popular king of Sweden, Gustavus
Adolphus. It is matter OF history that
the present king of Sweden, Oscar H.,
cannot claim this distinction.
The various papers and documents
which Miss White has collected and
which she says will be put in evidence
at the proper time, establish her rela-
tionship, it is claimed, to the older rulers
of the country. The last of this Amer
lean woman's ancestors to occupy the
throne of Sweden was King Gustayus
w.. who ruled from 1892 to 1909.
Unless Miss White disguises herself
as Joan of Arc and successfully downs
the whole of Sweden before her sword
there is not much likelihood of her ever
getting near the throne. AS a matter
of fact, a woman cannot reign over
Sweden's people, the latter having so de-
cided more than a century ago. After
the disastrous efforts of the reigns of
Queen Christina and Erica Eleanora in
the eighteenth century, Sweden came
to the conclusion that only male per-
sons shall rule the country and its peo-
pie, and only a revolution could change
this rule of eligibility to the throne.

In the Century Gen. Horace Porter,
10 his Campaigning With Grant"
dwells upon Grants aversion to liars.
He quotes the following remarks from
Gen. Rawlins 1.-The general always
likes to tell an anecdote that points
moral on the subject OF lying. He hates
only two kinds OF people, liars aud
towards. lie has no patience with
them, and never fails TO show his aver
aion for them" Ingalls, added "Such
traits are so foreign to his own nature
that 1t is not surprising that he should
not tolerate them in others. AZ man
and boy he has always been tho most
absolutely truthful person in the whole
range OF my acquaintance. never
knew him to run into the slightest
exaggeration or to borrow in the least
degree from his imagination in relating
an occurrence. One of the party re-
marked: 81 was amused one day to
hear an officer say that the general was
'tediously truthful. He explained that
what he meant by that was that the
general, in mentioning something that
had taken place. would direct his mind
90 earnestly to stating unimportant de-
tails with entire accuracy that he would
mar the interest OF the story. For in
stance, after returning from walk
around camp he would say / was told
so and so about the wounded by DR..
- while We were talking this morning
inside of his tent;' and nalf hour
afterward he would take the trouble to
come back and say, as il ii were
matter OF the greatest importance Il
was mistaken when | told you that my
conversation with DR.. - occurred in
side his tent; that was not correct; it
took Mace while We were standing in
front OF his tent. There was much
truth in this comment. No one who
had served any time with the general
could fail TO be struck with his excel
lent memory. and the pains he in.
variably took to state occurrences with
positive accuracy, even IN the most I'M
important particulars.
