the recruiting stations in this city. Mag.
FOote, officer in charge of the Hanover

that there is a gradual and steady in

up to last evening the number of men
enlisted in Boston for service in the reg
ular army was forty-five, of whom
forty-two were for service in the Phil

tered elsewhere. This was an increase
from the preceding week, when thirty
nine men were enlisted, and the week

Washington, D. C.. June FIT is
said by the officials at the war depart
ment interested in the recruiting move
ment, that this work is progressing with
pleasing rapidity. Recruits have been
received at the rate of 1000 a week for
the past three weeks, and there are now
at the Preside, at San Francisco, about
5000 men waiting transportation to the
Philippines. Many of these are old SOL
diers, and the others are being rapidly
drilled and broken in. The army is now
practically recruited up to its legal
maximum of 65, 600 men, but it is under
stood that the recruiting at the present
rate will be kept up for some time or
at least until the department receives
further advices from Gen. Otis.

Never before in the history of
the institution has the Agricultu-
raj college received so many
words of praise as is now be-
slowed upon it by the state press.
The management, including the
regents and faculty are doing won-
ders for the school and if the leg
islature will give liberal ap-
preparation the school will make
rapid strides forward during the
coming two years. With proper
equipment and larger buildings
there is no reason why we should
not have a thousand students in
attendance at the close of that
period.

The Hay Greek Coal company
has brought its first car load of
coal into Deadwood and all of the
towns in the northern hills are
being stocked up as rapidly as
possible. The coal is much
cheaper than any other coal,
brought into the Hills, and it is
said to be much better in quality.
All of the smelters and ore treat
ing-works and the engines on the
Elkhorn railway system will use
the coal. A railroad across the
reservation would bring this coal
into the eastern portion of the
state and a proper freight rate
would make it less expensive than
eastern products.

in ten days the Schlicht plan has
been we'll tested in a simple, most
convincing manner. Rev. David
Morgan, superintendent of the
Bethel, which is a big house boat
floating in the river at the foot OF
Sibley street, called attention to
a stove pipe protrnding from the
hurricane deck of his vessel. The
pipe was of sheet-iron and six in
ches in diameter. Within the
pipe was another sheet-iron pipe
five inches in diameter. The in
ner pipe was held in position by
several metal "ears" attached to
the outside of the inner pipe and
overlapping the top edges of the
outside pipe. The inner pipe pro-
truded three feet above the outer
pipe and extended downward into
the outer pipe four feet. Anyone
looking closely at both pipes
could see no smoke come fourth.
Placing his hand over the top of
the inner pipe he could feel hot
air ascending but the outer pipe
was quite cold. Evidently a
strong draft of the wintry air was
decending the outer pipe, between
the outer and inner pipe, for a
bit of paper held at the top of the
outer pipe was Immediately drawn
downward. The pipe connected
with red-hot stove. 1t was an
old fashioned coal stove with a
direct draft. The fact of the fire
was updeniable. 1t was SO good q
fire that the base of the stove was
red-hot. A glance at the coal re-
cepticle on the top of the old self.
feeder showed that the hot fire
was consuming cheap screenings
of soft coal, such fuel as, under
ordinary circumstances, would
pour out the blackest of black
smoke. The Bethel folks declared
that since the inner pipe had been
hung within the outer pipe, ten
days ago the old stove had used
only two-thirds as much fuel as
usual.
The test at the Floating Bethel
merely corroborates what was
claimed for his system by Mr.
Schlicht himself in a paper read
Brookings weekly register. (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1898-1903, 1899-02-09

recently before the Franklin In
stitute at Philadelphia and re-
ported by the iron age. Mr.. Sch
licht said that the air drawn down
the outer pipe was gradually
heated, during its descent, by con-
tact with the inner pipe, and on
reaching the fire, supplied an in
exhaustible, self-regulating sup
ply of oxygen and maintained a
combustion much more nearly per-
feet than is found beneath ordin-
ary chimneys. So hot is the fire
that almost all the smoke is con.
sumed before it starts up the in
ner pipe. The system has been
carefully tested by an official OF
the patent Office at Washington
and the test was more than salts.

proved by the German patent
Office. The extra pipe will per.
NIT a householder to secure more
heat with one-third to one-halt
the former amount of fuel.

The war department has made
no move toward sending further
reinforcements to Gen. Otis. It
is known that two ships sail soon
from San Francisco, one is on the
way from New York and it is as
serted that the department feels
no doubt of the ability of Gen.
Otis to handle the situation with
out further assistance. It is saiC,,
however, that the shipment of re-
gulars to the Philippines will
continue with as much prompt
ness a. possible in order that the

Attorney General Pyle has rem
dered his report on the Phillips
interest question and holds that
while the constitution made it un-
lawful to accept interest on state
deposits, the Legislature has ap-
parantly studiously avoided the
passage of a statute that will carry
the constitutional provision into
effect. he goes exhaustively into
the decisions of the courts of var
ious states and finds that in every
state with a constitution like ours
the courts have held that the
treasurer is not liable. Colorado,
Georgia and Kentucky have SINH
lar constitutions and in all of
them the highest legal tribunals
have been explicit that the state
cannot recover. 1t is held that
while the taking of interest is COM
stitutionally illegal, the state has
no right to the money for the state
cannot profit by the illegal acts
of its servants. The supreme
court of Wisconsin in handing
down the famous McFettredge de-
cisions cited these decisions and
approved of them, but the Wis
consin case coming under diff
ferent constitution and especially
under statute was decided diff
ferently from them, Mr.. Pyle in
view of these decisions which uni
formly hold against Governor
Lees decisions states that he is
unwilling to embark in a suit pro-
badly hopeless unless expressly
directed to do SO by the governor
or the legislature and points out
that under the statute it is the
attorney generals duty to prose-
cute when instructed to do so.
Apparently we are in about the
same predicament we found our
selves when Taylor stole the state
funds. The evidence of guilt is
sufficient to warrant prosecution,
but Attorney General Pyle is con-
fronted with the same obstacle as
was Coe. 1. Crawford in the Tay-
lor case-an enactment without a
penalty.
