We have limited number of books,

wrapped SO as to avoid injury in the

The flowers are carefully mounted
on heavy paper, the freshness of color

botanical names are given together
with brief statement of where each
flower may be found.
Two full-page illustrations of Park
scenery are given, one of the Excelsior
Geyser in eruption, the other of the
Lower Fall and Grand Canyon.
These herbariums are precisely alike
and make very nice souvenirs of the

Tho Board If Education.

The final meeting of the year OF the
Board Of Education was held lastF Friday
evening and closed up the business of
the year. It was decided to close the
school year Tuesday, June Ga few
days earlier than expected on account
of the G. A. r. encampment.
The new members of the board then
took the oath Of Office and the board
organized by the election of w. p.
Phillips, president; Mrs. A. s. Stewart,
vice president; and j. L. Burke, clerk.
Owing to failure to elect treasurer
at the regular election, the board ap-
pointed F. @. Silkenson to succeed him
self. The board will meet this friday
evening at the council room of the city
hall, when standing committees will
be appointed, and the election of teach
ers will likely be AIKEN up.
In this connection it will certainly
not be out of place to congratulate
Hot Springs upon the exceptionally
efficient corps of teachers now en-
ployed. Among them are some of the
best-just as good, we believe, as are
found in much more pretentious places
tina nHot Springs.
The affairs of the district are in good
shape and are rapidly improving, and
under the guidance of such an excel
lent board as now constituted We be-
speak for the district rapid strides to-
ward a still brighter era. The duties
of the board have often been trying
and unpleasant, requiring much time
and attention upon the part of the
members-all without price, and vet
subject to and recipients of severe crit
icism. The writer has, from experience,
learned how to be charitable toward
public officials who give up their time
and best endeavors to public matters.
Somebody must do it, and he who does
is deserving of public sympathy and
thanks. Members OF the board may
not always-cannot always--do that
which everybody wants, but they may
be depended upon to do that which
their judgment dictates is best after
mature consideration. Therefore-be
merciful to the school board. They'll
do the best they can and that which
they think is best for the district. If
they don't hire the teacher you want
they will hire one they they think is
better. BY thus taking up the white
mans burden they are deserving of
commiseration rather that censure.

The state G. A. R. Enc.mpment.

The State G. A. II. Encampment.
DIR. G. B. Clark returned by the Elk
horn from Hot Springs yesterday
morning. He found-the people of the
town busily preparing for the enter
tainment of the Grand Army encamp-
ment which meets there on the 9Th, 7th
and 9Th of June next. Advices from
the eastern part of the state lead the
local committee Of arrangements to an
ticipate the largest encampment that
has assembled in South Dakota for
years.
The outlook is certainly very encour-
aging. The numerous attractions at
Hot Springs are we'll known to the
people of the Hills. Hundreds who
live east of the Missouri river and who
for years have desired to visit the won
derful island surrounded by a sea of
prairie, known as the Black Hills, have
never been able to do so because of the
cost of the long trip. But Commander
Farr has secured such generous con-
cessions from the Milwaukee and
Northwestern roads, traversing eastern
South Dakota, and the Elkhorn and
Burlington roads, centering in this re-
gion, that about $40 for the round trip
will be the fare from the northermost
part of eastern Dakota to Hot Springs.
The hotels of that beautiful city agree
to provide for the coming crowd at
one half their usual rates. The best
bands in the state, including Fox's
famous military band of Sioux Falls,
are being negotiated with for the occa-
sion. DR.. Clark has challenged the
noted Canton band to play against our
own X. of P. band of Lead City. This
challenge is made in good natured
Way by the doctor upon his own
authority, he having heard both bands
The Fox Military band led the South
Dakota column at the great national
encampment at Buffalo two years ago
and made fine record. We expect to
listen TO the best band music the state
can afford on the spacious plaza 'front.'
ing the Hotel Evans
So generous are the terms Of the
Burlington and Elkhorn roads from all
points in the Black Hills that every
Grand Army man, as we'll as all old
soldiers, should avail themselves of
this one chance of his lifetime to meet
his comrades from eastern Dakota,
northern Nebraska and Iowa. We
have invited these comrades and their
friends to visit this part of our beauti-
full state. The railroads, the hotels,
and all concerned second the invita-
tion.--Deadwood Pioneer Times.

Want prixate Hoard

Mrs. Thcrnby desires to know who
will take teachers to board during the
Black Hills Teachers Institute-July
"a to August 2-and at what rates.
See her or write her soon as possible
rs she desires to arrange her list.
These teachers are not bondholders
and those who can take them should
make as low rate as possible. A low
rate for board was promised them in
order to get the institute here and now
Hot Springs will do the right thing and
mako reasonable prices. Private fam
Hiss who do not make . practice of
keeping boarders but who can do SO in
this instance, would show an accomo-
dating, hospitable spirit by taking two
or more teachers at moderate rates.

can do.

Worth All the Cost.

Rev. DR.. Clark, of. .Deadwood. paid
the Black Hills College very high
compliment last week after hearing
the Grafton of John Hall. He said sif
Black Hills College can turn out one
young man each year like the one who
graduated this morning, it is worth all
the cost of conducting the college" !"
That was indeed compliment to be
appreciated, and should be an encour.
agement to the loyal friends of the col.
lege who have rendered it all the finan-
cial assistance in their powear each
year. There isn't a resident of Hot
Springs but who is benefited finan-
cially or otherwise by the college being
here. The institution brings great
deal of money to this city, through its
students and otherwise each year-a
large amount-and therefore is enti.
tied to the goodwill and financial as
sistance of every resident. A few dol
lars from every Hot Springs resident
each year would soon place the insti
tuition upon u firmer footing, SO that il
would be of still greater benefit to the
city. Thousands of dollars are brought
to Hot Springs every year by the fact
of the college being here. Therefore
should not our people render it every
possible assistance? 1t needs your
help. 1t is pretty good business
proposition for the citizens to see that
it is helped and strengthened.
