POLICE
DEMORALIzED
DR.. McGill Says Men With
Pulls Are Breaking Away
from Discipline.
The GREEN SHAKE DOWN
Favoritism in the Purchase OF
Supplies-Fruits of Six
Months of Republi-
canism.

Dr. John d. McGill, the Democratic
member of the Police Board, was asked
this morning if he intended to take any
action in regard to a statement publish
ed in local paper on the authority OF
one Robert D.>Green, a colored man, iiy-
ing in New York, that he had been shak-
en- down for money by policemen in tie
First precinct station house.
Il have made no investigation" he re-
piled, "and don't propose to be held re-
sponsible for running the Police Depart
ment.
discipline seems to be slowly giving
away" he continued, '.men with politi-
cal pulls are breaking away from the
strict discipline which they have been
under for two or three years"
GRABBING TRADE.
"There is another matter which |
would like &c say something about. There
was a time when the business men of
this city. irrespective of party affila-
tions, were given chance to bid on
work and supplies for the police depart
ment when the cost for the same was
less than $500. Under the present re-
gjme only Republicans seem to have any
,.honoa r., oar,rato Tho Gam ian a re
have to a degree continued the methods
inaugurated by me when the board was
not controlled by Republicans. They still
solicit bids from our business men, but
they ask their friends to furnish more.
/ used to ask the Clerk Of the Board to
make up list of men who would be able
to do a certain kind of work or furnish
certain kinds of supplies, and he would
send out invitations to them to submit
bids. Ii often happened that Republi-
cans made the lowest offers and got the
work. The records will show that those
who are furnishing the supplies now are
all Republicans"
PULLS.
Reverting to the subject of political
pulls. DIR. McGill said:-''There was a
time when no power beyond the Police
Board could affect the men in the de-
partment. The Democratic organization
was powerless to dictate. Many claim
that it is possible now for political pulls
to be exerted. 1t is the power behind the
throne that is at the bottom of it. Mayor
Pagan has shown that he is a partisan.
He proved that when he appointed the
new Board of Hospital Trustees, for
there isn't a man on that Board who
didn't vote for him.
when he appoints man to succeed
me in the Police Board he will not name
Democrat who voted for George I.
Smith, but a man who cast his ballot for
Fagan."

A Curious Find

While the workmen were ex-
cavating in the rear of the bakery
and Merchants bank for the
purpose of putting in a new
oven, when they were down
some twelve or eighteen inches
they came upon a marble slab in
the form Of an ordinary head
stone with the following inscrip-
ton: amanda, daughter of G.
H. and E. Cornwall. Died, May
20, 1868. Aged 10 months and
20 days" The mystery is, how
did the stone get in the place
where found, as the date on the
stone is long previous to any
white settlement in this part of
the country. There are great
many theories advanced as to
how the stone became buried be-
meath over a foot of earth and
lay for SO many years in the
place where found. If there is
any one who can shed any light
on the question we would be
pleased to hear from him. The
slab may be seen at the Mer-
chants bank.

Big Stone City Alumni Banqu.

Big Stone City Alumni Banquet
The alumni of the Big Stone
City high school gave a most en-
joyable banquet last Wednesday
evening at the Hotel Mime
warmett, at which there were
nearly one hundred guests, who
who sat down at the tables to
discuss the menu, which was
served in courses and prepared
in a manner that would tempt
the most fastidious epicure. In
fact the cuisine called forth the
commendation of the guests and
more firmly than ever es-
tablished the reputation of mine
host Miller as a skillful and
artistic purveyor for such happy
occasions. After the company
had been made 1serenely full
with the material delicacies of
the table, a program of toasts
was responded to by a number
of the graduates and others
connected with the school.
The toasts were in a most happy
and pleasing vein, and were in
terspersed with some fine selec-
tions of music, both vocal and in
strumental, making the affair a
very enjoyable treat intellectu-
ally as well as astronomical.
The event tended to show the
deep interest which the people
of Big Stone take in their public
school, their appreciation of the
good work it is doing and the
high standard of moral and in.
tellectual excellence which they
covet for the'young people of the
city.

Mixing His Metaphors.

To Lord Rosebery's famous "spade
and wind" metaphor may be added two
or three lapses. not all Of which are
mixed metaphors, perpetuated by Lord
Londonderry.
In 1896 Lord Londonderry threw the
house of lords into roars Of laughter
during the debate on the second read
ing Of the Irish land bill by gravely de-
clarAg that this is the reason why
you have failed to settle the Irish land
question in the future as you have done
In the past"
In the course of the same speech he
concluded period with. This is the
keystone of the bill. are you going to
kill itY'
Better still was sentence which he
uttered in 1897 when speaking once
more on the Irish land question. ''That
your lordship will see," referring to
quotation he had just made. Endorses
up to the htlt what have said."-Tat-
tier.

GRANT RIGGLE,

County Board OF Education.
There are now about forty of the
schools in the county that either have
completed arrangements for free books,
or are now making them. / am very
anxious that the rest of the county
follow the example of these schools and
the advice of the Board of Education.
Under our law. free text books are OBJ
tanned by petition of the patrons to
the District School Board, signed by
majority of the electors.
Wherever the free text book system
has been tried the people could not be
induced to endure any other plan.
l wish to state that Supt. G. c. Bor-
chardt, OF Madison, Mimi, tells me that,
after the first cost, his pupils for the
whole county require less than 25 cents
year each to sustain the system.
Supt. L. P. Cravens, OF Lake City,
Mimi, tells me that the cost for that
city is less than 40 cents per pupil for
the year. This is far less than we are
now paying for half enough books to GO
around. Write these men for their
opinions il in doubt.
Free books cost less than a quarter of
our present plan; they make better
schools, and that makes better citizens
of the boys and girls; they make better
discipline and order; they make the rich
and able bear part OF the burden.
There is only one side to this great
question for the man who has children
to educate.
l am inclosing blank petition. Will
you not help get names for this noble
cause9 No vote is required. Simply
have majority of the electors on the
petition. Each officer gets this letter
and blank.
The annual election June II will be a
good time to get names.
Hoping for vigorous campaign for
this great forward step in behalf of our
5000 boys and girls, beg to remain,
Obediently yours,
M. M. RAMER.

Board Of Education

MILBANK, S. D., June il, 1902.
To The SCHOOL OFFICER: Dear Sir
and Friend: Notice the following reso-
luton, unanimously passed by the
County Board Of Education for Grant
county at their meeting held at Milbank
on June 10, 1902
Whereas, The schools of our county
have been run in serious need of
sufficient text books to meet the needs
OF the pupils in schools and,
Whereas, There is to be an almost
complete change of text books for the
coming year; and,
Whereas, 1t is only just and right that
the heavy property owners, corporations,
etc., should bear their share of all the
expenses OF the school system; and,
Whereas, In our Judgment, the use
fulness of the schools will be immeasur-
ably increased thereby; and,
Whereas, The total text book cost for
a series of years will be reduced to about
e-quarter of the present cost; therefore
be it
Resolved: That, we the County
Board OF Education, do urgently recon-
mend to the school officers and patrons
OF the schools the necessity of taking
immediate steps to provide all school
text books free to the pupils, or OF adopt
ing the free text book system. That we
urge the circulation of the necessary
petitions as soon as possible, and that
the school boards be asked to make
arrangements at the annual school meet
ing in July so as to have the books on
hand for the opening school in the fall
1902.

PRIZE FISH TAKEN
FROM LITTLE LARAMIE.

John Baillie has captured the belt
for the prize rainbow trout. and if the
Denver Post is still in the field with it's
$50 prize. John should have it. He
sent to town last night a rainbow trout
believed to be the largest fish taken
with a hook and line in these parts. 1t
was on exhibition at Towson's market
this morning and was viewed by scores
Of fishermen.
The speckled beauty was caught
near the Fillmore ranch, on the Little
Laramie. 1t is twenty-seven inches
long. seventeen and one-half inches in
girth and weighs ten pounds eight
ounces.
Mr.. Baillie hooked the fish but could
not land it. He got it into shallow va
ter INT finally his son killed it with a
stone, after as pretty a struggle as one
would hope to see With him were
Dad Knnear. Jim" Towson and
George Phillips. and while neither of
the latter caught the fish all are proud
of it. Had it been fat. it is said. Mr..
Baillie could never have landed it at
all.
