SCHOLARSHIPS AT OXFORD
Secretary Hay and Governor Her.
reid In CorrespOndence.

PIERRE, S. D.-Governor Herreid has re-
ceived letter from Secretary Hay in regard
to the necessary steps for two South .Dako-
tans to take to secure advantage of the pro-
visions of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes
In relation to scholarships at Oxford.
1t appears it is the desire of the trustees OF
the will that scholars who are selected should
go into residence at Oxford in 1s0S One par
agraph In the letter Is as follows: A peru
sal of the paper the provisions of the wild
will show that the trustees are desirous OF
making regulations with regard to the meth
cd by which qualifications of candidates are
to be ascertained and as to the examinations,
and to this end request the views of the chief
officials having the control Of education In
the various states and territories" '..s
8 Governor Herreid submitted this letter to
the head Of the state university, the super
intendent OF instruction and the board of re-
gents of education, and President Droppers
of the state university, in reply, takes the
position that it would be practically impos-
sible to secure absolute uniformity in the
matter of examinations In all the states, and
that local conditions should rule. He IS any
thing but enthusiastic in regard to the pro-
posed scholarships, taking the position that the
training at Oxford is in the line Of what IL
desired by English gentlemen" and would
not fit we'll into American ideals of the sue.
,cessful man. of affairs. He suggests, though
that the examinations should be made under
rules to be arranged by a committee com
posed of the superintendent of instruction ant
the heads of the different state Educational
institutions, with the governor as an ex-otIi
clio member, and the selection of two mel
made from those who passed the examination
under the rules :. "'s

mouth Of the Bad AXE, two large bodies of
people. One consisted of about 500 Sac In
dians. men, women and children. For eleven
days they had struggled over what would have
been an ordinary days march tor supple
and healthy red man. At their head was the
noted war chief Black Hawk. Despairing of
rescue, escape or quarter, the hopeless brave
had led his people, sutsisting on roots, bark,
berries and the flesh of their starving ponies,
in a hopeless retreat. pursued by an over
whelming army of American soldiers.
Ever upon the trail Of the hunted red man,
| their spent bullets constantly dropping among
| the rear guard Of the fleeing foe, came Cen
eraI Henry Atkinson with 1,300 men. Zachary
Taylor, afterwards president OF the United
States,-was a colonel In the army. Abraham
Lincoln was a. captain during the campaign,
and. Albert Sidney johnson WAS an a0Jutanu.
