ARMY SEARCHLIGHTS
THE PRACTICAL USE OF ELECTRICITY
ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

Movable searchlights That Can Be Used ia
Collecting the Dssd or in Protecting .
Reconnaissance Party, Also In Directing
the Aim Of Heavy Guns.
1t Is proposed to take into Cuba NOV
able searchlights OF great power. The
war Department has detailed plans OF
such equipment AMI appended descrip-
tionst furnished by specialists who
have made study of possibilities OF
electrical projectors and other appli-
cations of electricity upon the battle
field.
Electric searchlights for such pur-
poses can be made to throw light as far
as nine miles. These will be used for
gathering the dead and wounded left
on the battleields at night and for
many other purposes. The ground in
front of party sent out for reconnois-
sance can be kept we'll lighted by night
without betraying their positions to the
Spaniards. One Of the men In advance
Of the exploring column may facilitate
this and guide the manipulators Of the
light by carrying a lantern masked on
the side of the enemy. BY throwing one
OF these pencils Of daylight upon the
roads from which Spanish advance
guard Is expected, the latter's move
pents would be seriously hampered and
they would doubtless turn back II dis
covered before coming in range. Our
troops will be always fearful of sur
prise attacks In the early morning, and
attempts of this kind might thus be
easily frustrated.
These portable searchlights will
also be of great value for directing the
aim Of the heavy guns by night, the
Icints to be fired upon being first
pointed out by the projected fame. By
such devices it will also be an easy
matter to prevent the Spaniards from
making repairs on their Notifications

ly attempted. As fast as the begin

fully and succeeded in saving many OF
the wounded from the burning ship.
One man who will be recommended for
promotion clambered up the side of the
Vizcaya and saved three men from
burning to death. The smaller maya
zines Of the Vlzcaya were exploding
with magnificent cloud effects. The
boats were coming alongside in
steady string, and willing hands were
helping the lacerated Spanish officers
and sailors onto the Iowa's quarter |
deck. All the Spaniards were abso-
lutte without clothes. Some had their
legs torn off by fragments of shells. /
Others were mutilated in every con.
ceivable way.
THE bottoms of the boats held two
or three inches OF blood. In many
cases dead men were lying in the blood.
Five poor chaps died on the way to the
ship. They were afterward buried
with military honors from the Iowa,
Some examples Of heroism, or more
properly devotion to discipline and
duty, could never be surpassed. One
man on the lost Vizcaya had his left
arm almost shot off just below the
shoulder. The fragments were hang
Ing by small piece of skin. But he
climbed unasslsted over the side and
saluted as If on visit of ceremony.
Immediately after him came a strong,
hearty sailor, whose left leg had been
shot off above the knee. He was hoist
ed on board the Iowa with tackle,
but never whimper came from him.

naked well men accumulated, until it

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

Nearly All Members Were Present and
Transacted Routine Business.
Friday evening the board of educa-
tion met in regular session at which
routine business was transacted. Sew
eral bills were allowed. Secretary
Wallace of the board made d financial
statement which showed that the out.
standing warrants Feb. 25 was 81, ,631 81;
the amount drawn since was 81, ,496. 10,
making total of warrants, So, l27 81.
The cash receipts since then have
amounted to SO, ,707.44. These warrants
were paid and balance of S579.77 wac
left in the treasury. The members
were feeling very good over the situa-
tion, as it has been some time since
there has been cash balance in the
treasury.
The new manual, which has just been
printed by the Mitchell Printing Co.,
will soon be ready for distribution and
it is the desire of Superintendent Quig.
ley that copy of the manual should be
placed in the hands of every school
patron and that it's contents will be
read thoroughly, for the book contains
information which should be known by
the parents. The last page in the book
contains list of the graduates of the
high school for the years since 1886
the total number of which is 129.

tend another year. To be graduated
from the dead line gives little value,
honor or satisfaction, and often dis
credits the school. If pupils and par
ents would ADOPT this plan it would sat-
lsfy our demands for few years until
such time as we shall be able to place
ourselves by the side OF other large
cities of the state
Parents should realize, said Mr..
Quigley, that the course requires a
great deal of work. Every hour is
absolutely needed. Trivial matters
should not interfere, and pupils should
be encouraged TO persevere.
In reference to the expenses of the
school the professor said they should
be as low as is consistent with efficiency.
The price paid for labor should be the
average market value, anything less
than that in any industry can have but
one result, and that is eventual deteri-
oration, and teaching is no exception to
the rule. No city in South Dakota of
equal size is paying less for teachers or
superintendents than Mitchell. More
than this, the rate o. taxation for
school purposes in the city of Mitchell
is not the highest in Dayison county.
Taking into consideration the length of
time the schools are in session, being
only six months in many couptry dis
tricts, and the mum Der of children
taught, and our rate of taxation in this
city is much less than that of many
country districts.
1t is quite common to suppose that
the schools are the cause of the burden
OF our taxes. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Any tax receipt will
show that our district school tax is less
than one-fourth of the whole. True it is
enough, but he maintained that our
school tax is not excessive or unusual.
The strictest economy should prevail.
We have touched bottom and we are
now going up. Mitchell does not re-
pudiate. The city government has
recently placed two or three thousand
dollars in the sinking fund. The
school treasurer pays all school war
rants. The city is filling up. Ask the
people who move to our city why they
come, You know that they will answer.
ito educate our chilnren." We never
can have manufactures. Our greatest
source of growth and prosperity is the
reputation and character of our private
aud public schools. Any person who
belittles or seeks to cripple their ef-
ficiency is an enemy to our progress.

Gone Back to Chicago.

VIM. Creed, who has lived on farm
adjacent to Mitchell for number of
years, left Friday for Chicago to
resume an occupation which he dis
carded some fourteen years ago for the
profit of engaging in farming. Mr..
Creed has made good money on his
farm and gives it up now only to accept
the position of mail carrier, which will
bring him closer to relatives in that
city. His family will follow him to
Chicago later.
