FREED THEIR MAN.
Blood Hounds Make a Successful Run
 This Morning

Chief Of Police Philpot gave his thoroughbred bloodhound, Fannie, a practice run this morning in com. pany with six of the peuitentiary hounds, now stationed with the con. victs at the Sawyer & Austin mil site in the West end.
 A trusty was given three hours to make his escape. He left the
 aft af 3 o'clock this morning and t5e 115s were set out after him at .ftoak. They took the track and atler going about five miles west of lbe mill site, they treed the escape and had him yelling for help from the top of an oak.
 While going through barb. wire fence, in the haste to capture the fugitive, Fannie, who was in the lead throughout the entire chase, severely skinned her back; this, however, did not stop her but only made her the more anxious to ap- prehend the person, for whom he had suffered.
 The guard at the convict camp has twelve or fifteen hounds attach ed to his belt. The minute an at- tempt is made to escape he unsnaps the chains which hold the animals and they dash away in bunch after the fellow, and tits very seldom that they fai to tree their man.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Remember if you marry for beauty. thou bindest myself all thy life for that which, perehance, will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.-Raleigh.
 Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of Gods best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of ones self, and seeing and appreciat- ing whatever is noble and loving in another.-Thomas Hughes.
 It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hard ly put upon man more than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction. Fear se- eretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices.-Beecher.
 Hold sorrow till its most selfish as pect passes, till it turns it's religious side to you; till time and experience and faith do their work; till we feel not it's gloom, but it's glory; not it's cross, but it's crown. Do not, through any device, lose it's sanctifying infiu ence, the greatest loss the soul can meet.-J. r. ". Ware.
 Secure good name to myself by liy- ing virtuously and humbly but let this good name be nursed abroad and never be brought home to look upon it. Let others Use it, for their own advantage; let them speak of it if they please; but do not thou use it at all but as an in strument to do God glory and thy neighbor more advantage Let thy face like Moses, shine to others, but make no looking glass for thyself.- Jeremy Taylor.

A Dance in a Church.

According to a very old-established
 custom a dance takes place yearly on the 1st of May in the parish church of Musgrave, in Westmoreland, in connec- tion with the custom of rush bearing. Twelve young maidens of Brough (ap- proved by the Vicar), assemble on the list of May at 10 o'clock in the morn ing at the foot of Brough bridge, their white dresses decorated with flowers, and garland on their heads in the shape of a crown, formed of rushes, with flowers entwined on the outside. Accompanied by band the maidens proceed through the fields to Mus grave, about mile distant, the band playing and the rush-bearing dancing. On reaching the church the rush bear CTS are led up the north aisle and hang up their garlands on the side walla. there to remain until the next year, The gospel is rooa by the clergyman.

Atmospheric Changes Foretold by a Stone


 In Finland, a species of stone known as "semakuir," actually foretells the probable changes in the weather. In dry, fine weather the stone is of dark gray color mottled with white spots. but before approaching showers of thick mists it blaekens all over most conspicuously, of course, at the spaces which were previously white-and gradually returns again to it's former state as the weather improves. It's prophetic warnings are regarded by many as having a superstitious origin, but a recent analysis of the stone ex- plains the cause and shows that there is nothing whatever mysterious in its action It is composed of ground mass of clay and fossilized organic matter, with little rock salt and nj ter scattered throughout in grains and small patches. These salts absorb the aerial moisture as it increases in amount, and dissolve in it. forming black surface films, while they regain their white color as the drier atmos- phere eyaporates the moisture from them. The east-off shell of a species of crab in Chili answers the same pur- pose, being extremely sensitive to at mospheric changes. It remains quite

occurred before Justice Parks Thursday

Some of the fire boys are much vexed
about the matter and strongly contend

quietly in the city. They were accom-
panied by several friends, who joined
them at Billings, Mont. They were
given tally-ho drive about the city,
and greatly enjoyed the attractions
hereabouts. the day being charming
one. The personnel of the party:
Congressman Serene T.. Payne, wife
and brother, Auburn, N. Y; Congress
man j. A. L. Hull, wife and daughter,
Des Moines Ia; Congressman George
w. Steel and wife, Marion, Ind; Con-

The State Association crowded three

The State Association crowded three
days work into two days to allow then
the opportunity of visiting Wind Gave
and the numerous other attractions in
this vicinity.
Tho Black Hills counties are all
largely represented, and the STAR will
be pardoned for its home pride Fin
asserting that for appearance and abil.
ity the Black fills school ma'ams can't
be eNcelled.
Prof. Hartranft, She newly elected
president of the association, is very
pleasant gentleman, and will make an
efficient officer. He seems to be very
popular with the teachers.
To-day tFritlay) the visiting teachers
will go to Wind Cave those who have
not visited that wonder. Many expect
to go on through the Hills Saturday,
while quite number will remain here
over Sunday, and longer.
The teachers have apparently been
enjoying their sojourn in Hot Springs,
aside from the interest taken in the
association meetings. There is u vast
difference between the Hills country
and the eastern portion of the state
and the visit on the part of those
teachers who have never been here is
therefore quite an educational tour.
IN
Thursday evening n reception was Civ
en- the visiting teachers in the college
building. Fruit punch was served in
the library room on the second floor
and generally sociable and pleasant
time was INDUCED in by the very large
number present. AS the STAR goes to
press Thursday evening fuller par
ticulars cannot be given.
Among the prominent educators OF
the state who have been attending the
association are: State Superintend-
ent E. E. Collins, of Vermillion; De-
putty State Superintendent, d. j.
Schellenger; Ex-State Superintendent
Frank Crane, of Watertown; Prof. G.
M. Smith, of the state university of
Vermillion; Cen w. H. ii. Beadle, pre-
sident of the state normal school, of
Madison; Prof. F. L. Cook, president
of the Spearfish norman school.
The Black Hills counties are repre-
sented by some of the handsomest,
brightest county superintendents of
the state-and they are all ladies-the
lone male superintendent from Custer
county not deigning to mix up with
this intellectual bevy. These Hills
county superintendents are: Miss
Kate Murrin, of Deadwood; Miss Susie
Bird, of Sturgis; Miss Mable Brandt,
of Belle Fourche; Miss Lucena Triss-
Ter, of Rapid City; and Mrs. B. Y.
Thornby, of Hot Springs. They scut

New president Of the College.


The executive committee Of Black
Hills college met Wednesday afternoon
and unanimously elected Rev. w. J..
Pyle, now of Sturgis, as president for
the ensuing year.
Col. Clough, who knows Rev. Pyle
intimately and we'll, says of him.
"Rev. Pyle isa western man. His faith
er was an old soldier who died for his
country, leaving widow and four or
five children. Mr.. Pyle was afterwards
for time an editor in Nebraska, later
as q local preacher did evangelistic
work in various portions Of the west.
Feeling the need of an education he
went to Middleton, Connecticut, and
later graduated from Boston School Of
Theology, thus acquiring q very fine
education. He is an intense student
and devoted lover of books. His
wife has shared with him in his studies
and sacrifices for the magnificent mem
tai attainments that SO we'll qualify
him for his new position.
"Dr. Clark brought him to So. Da-
kota as pastor. After two years at
Pierre he broke down and took a years
rest, then came to Sturgis, where he
has done three years of excellent work.
During this time no one in the Hills
has taken the College more thoroughly
upon his heart than has Rev. Pyle, and
II he accepts the presidency he does so
with q full knowledge of the situation,
q consciousness Of duty and . firm and
steadfast confidence in the certainty
of success"
