ElODes with FalIlcr-in-Iayy.

Some months ago we made
note of a wedding where the
woman in the case, though but
l9 years of age, counted the new
bridegroom as her third hus-
band. 1t seems that even after
all this experience the bride in
in the case failed 10 find solid
resting place for her affections,
aud last week eloped and it is
said is now living with her father
in-laW in an adjoining township
that is father in law by husband
No. 2. The deserted husband is
endeavoring by concilitory
means to secure the return Of
the wayward wife of his bosom,
aud is even threatening to ex-
tead the cold clammy hand Of
the law to bring back his bonny
and again ms tall her as his house
hold queen and hearthstone god
dess. The way this old world is
going it may soon be quite sur
prising thing to see man and a
woman who have lived together
all their lives. But returning to
the case in question we think
three strikes ought to be tout,
for either man or woman, and a
better player sent to bat.

MILBANK. S. D., FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1901.
City Schools.

At the meeting of the board Of
education last Friday evening,
reports from the secretary,
treasurer and the superintendent
were received and read, and the
old board closed up the business
before it. Before adjourning
the following resolutions on be-
half of the retiring president
were adopted:
Whereas, The members of the board
of education of the City of Milbank,
with sincere regret learn that we are
to lose the efficient services of our
present president of the board. Mr., j.
G.. Elliot. We remember that he has
been member of this board for
long period of years, and for the last
six years president thereof: that dur
ing all of said term of Office he has
been equal to the emergencies and
difficulties with teachers, pupils, pat
rons, finances, and many other per-
picking straits that have assailed
the board at different times. We
have found him careful, painstaking,
self sacrificing, and always ready to
take his place in the face of the diff
ficulties as they come along. He has
been fair in his decisions, discreet in
his Judgment, and has carried the
burdens of the system of public educa-
tional facilities very close to his best
manhood, and has become so identi-
fed with the schools of Milhank, it
will be strange sensation to have to
realize that we are to make future ad-
vancement and undertake future plans
and responsibilities without his care,
judgment and good advice.
His has been position of grave
public responsibility and he has been
able to meet its responsibilities with
commendable fortitude and success.
AS he laws down these cares and re-
sponsibilities, we feel sure that we
shall not lose his interest and concern.
Resolved, That this preamble and
resolution be spread on the minutes of
this board, that his successors in
Office may look back upon them with
pride, and that his good acts and
deeds for the schools of Milbank may
ever be in the memory of future gen.
erations.
Certificates of election were
issued to the elected mem bers,
who were sworn in and organiza-
ton was effected as follows:
President. J. G. Wood; Vice-presi-
dent, Chas. Cannon; Secretary,
S. S. Lockhart. The bonds of
the secretary were fixed at $500,
and those of Treasurer Benedict
at $4,000. Upon motion salaries
were fixed aud teachers elected
as follows:

S45.

Russia and siberia

A genuine literary treat is in
prospect for Milbank people in
the lecture on the above subject
by Capt. S. Alberti. The story
Of his thrilling experience is as
follows:
Having served as an officer in the
Russian army eleven years, two years
in Turkey, three years in the Caucas-
ian mountains, and six years in ST.
IBERIA in different capacities, namely:
as engineer in the mines and exile
transporter from place to place, thus
knowing practically the everyday life
throughout Russia and Siberia.
He came to America several years
ago, but had to return to Russia for
the purpose of settling some business
in regard TO an estate left him by a
near relative, when he was taken pris-
oner and sent back to Siberia, on this
occasion not to serve the country in
an honorable capacity, but as an ex-
lie. He managed to make his escape
through friendly assistance, and will
impart to all the world his experience
and what actually exists in Russia
and Siberia, where there is so much
suffering and torture.
1t will be time we'll spent by anyone
to attend this lecture, as it is instruct
ing and elevating, giving the men op-
rortunity to learn something they will
never forget in a lifetime, and 1t Ii
not given by person that has trav.
eled through that country for pleasure
but from the everyday life OF one tha
has passed through all its privations
The lecture will be followed
with an exhibition Of q hundred
stereoptican views and moving
PICTURES, presenting the cities
towns and people Of Russia ant
exile life in Siberia.

suicide Of Leonard BOicc.

Word was received over the
telephone Wednesday that Leon
ard Boice Of Mazeppa township
had committed suicide. The
lifeless body was found in the
granary Wednesday morning,
the man having doubled some
binding twine, and made a moose
in it, and hung himself with his
feet touching the floor. The
friends Of the unfortunate man
had no knowledge of any inten-
tion to commit such deed,
though he had been for some
time in poor health and was more
or less despondent on that &C
count. Mr.. Boice was in Milbank
a few weeks ago, while court was
in session, and his friends here
noticed the perceptible change
which his continued i'll health had
made. He was a man over &c
years of age, and his friends can
give no other cause than this
dependency over his physical
condition and his advancing
years for his determination te
end bis life, and it is believed
that this SO preyed upon hin
that his mind gave way.
Mr.. Boice was one of the early
settlers Of the county, and was
universally esteemed by neigh
bors and friends, who exceeding
" regret his sad ending.

It was costly century Of war that
Englishmen had to look back upon
a hundred years ago. The fighting
record began In 1902 with the war of
the Spanish succession, which cost
e 62,5oO,O0o. The Spanish war of 1879
absorbed es4,OOo,oOo before 1t was set
tied at Aix-la-Chapelle nine years
later. The seven years war cost
e112,o00,0OO and the American war
6 18e.oOo,000o. Most expensive of all
was the French revolutionary war, be-
gun in 1893, which cost this country
6 4e4,o00,O0O. If we extend the retro
spect back to 1858 and up to 1918 we
find there were in that period 81 years
of peace, and that the 65 years of war
cost Us es,o23,oOO.oOO. The largest

A GIANT INDUSTRY.
The Steel Industry az IT Has Been De-
veIoDed in America In
Recent Years.

According to Prof q. II. Thurston,
who writes Of ''The Steel Industry OF
America" in Century, Sir Henry Bes-
semer's invention has added more to
the worlds wealth than any other save
the steam engine. The following fig
ures give an idea Of the extent OF the
production Of steel throughout the
world.
"The worlds product Of Bessemer
steel in 1892 would have made col
ennade of pillars 20 feet in diameter
and 100 high. 1879 In number. extend
ing over three miles, $40 on each hand,
or single row over six miles long.
Every working day in that year there
was produced the equivalent Of be-
tween five and six such columns, and a
days work resulted in the output of
nearly as much as was the total annual
product of the great city of Sheffield at
the time of Bessemer's invention. The
annual production of Bessemer steel
was, in another comparison, shown TO
be the equivalent of column 100 feet
in diameter the size of moderately
large gas holder, and o,6s4 feet g
inches high-a mile and third. This
would be 1872 times as high as the cross
On the dome of St. Paul's In London.
Ope-twelfth of its altitude would meae-
ure the production Of single month
and would rtss to above the height OF
the Washington monuments. A single
hour would yield pillar OF steel pine
feet IN diameter and about 140 feet
high, the altitude Of tall church
steeple. The work of year would
construct steel wall five feet IN thick
ness, 20 feet high and leo miles long,
which would be enough to inclose an
area of about 800 square miles, sA miles
In diameter. sufficient to inclose Lon
don and, Its suburbs In circle radiat-
ing over 30 miles from st. Paul's OF the
bank. The foundation of the wall IT.
self would occupy 60 acres.

duction Of steel"

BURIED HOUSES IN MEXICO.
Rare Discovery Made by Mormon
ArchneolOgists in the Gar
cha Valley.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico.
Mexico, says: The party of Mormon
archaeologists and students who left
Provo City, Utah. nearly year ago on
an overland trip to Valparaiso, Chilli
have arrived here. They spent some
time in the Garcia valley, in the state of
Chihuahua, where they MADE some ex.
tensive excavations and explorations
Of ancient ruins which had never be-
fore been visited by archaeologists.
Prof. Benjamin Cuff, who is in charge
Of the party, said, eve found great
number of mounds IN the Garcia val
ley. the date Of which Is unknown. In
the mounds which we excavated we
found some well-built houses made of
stone, well plastered and most of them
having cement floors. The houses usu-
ally consisted Of two to four rooms,
though some Of them were larger. The
houses were always IN groups or vii
lagos, never alone. The whole side Of
the noun tain had evidently been under
cultivation. and every ridge had line
Of houses. In front at the side OF each
house we found wall or terrace from
one to six feet high, which had been lev.
eled and used evidently as garden
spot. Down the hillsides and along ra-
vines we found these terraces at regu.
lar intervals They had apparently
served as reservoirs for the valley be-
low. In the houses we found crockery,
stone implements and Invariably char
coal In cave we found some scraps
Of excellent wooden cloth and also Of
fax or linen cloth. 1t IS clear to us
from our Investigations that the cave
jewellers and the mound jewellers WERE
the same people"
