Tn tly Proud Of Merrill.

Mitchell people will remember
Prof. J. W. Merrill, who was here
during the greater portion of 1901
and was the director of the State
Band. The following notice published
in Conn's Truth. a band magazine,
and taken from the Indianapolis
Press, will be read with interest by
his many friends in this city:
There is one member of Phinney's
United States band, of whom Indiana
musicians are Justly proud. He is
the cornet soloist. J. W. Merrill,
whose home is in Peru, Ind. Merrill
has gained the reputation Of being
one Of the great c%ornetists of the
country. Every selection that he
palys stands out distinctly as his
own. He excels in execution,
technique and in quality Of tone.
| His solos at Phinney's band con-
| certs certainly sustain the high
| reputation of the Indiana c%ornetist.
Merrill was introduced to Frederick
| Phinney, the leader, by G. G. Conn,
| the Elkhart Manufacturer Of musical
instruments, in 1900 it Chicago.
Phinney engaged him to join the
tand and play at the dedication OF
the coliseum. The band played five
concerts at the dedication. receiving
$500 for each concert. The five con
certs were heard by 66, 900 people.
Merrill palyed a number OF solos
at the dedication and though it was
his initial appearance. the immens!
throng was charmed at Ocne Will
his playing and encored him agair
and again. Mr.. Phinney consider
that Mr.. Merrill compares yer.
favorably with the greatest OF tn
great cornet soloists playing today
During his engagement with tn
band he played a number Of corne
solos at the street concerts and hi
work was always received heartily
He was an exceptionally fine wolf:
player and many thought he excelle
on the latter instrument.

MUS BE PERMANENT
Permanent Capital Required in Order
to Secure Appropriation for
Capitol Building.

Aberdeen Daily News: The
permanent location Of the capital OF
the state of South Dakota should be
decided upon. The present condition
of affairs is intolerable and should
not be allowed to exist longer than
is absolutely necessary to remedy it.
The records of the land commissioner,
the supreme court library, and the
records Of incalculable value to the
state are at present housed in fimsy
wooden structures at Pierre, where
they are exposed to risk Of destruc-
tion by fire. So long as the per-
manent location Of the capital in I'M
decided upon no legislature will ap-
propriate sufficient money to build a
permanent, tireproof structure in
which these records may be securely
kept. 1t is certain that the capital
will not thus be permanently located
until the voters have had another
chance to express themselves on the
subject. The demand for capital
removal, or at least an election to
decide if the capital shall be removed,
is SO general, that it is out OF the
question to attempt to secure an
appropriation for permanent buildings
until the subject is again submitted
to the people.
This being the case, the sooner the
locality is definitely settled one way
or the other the better it will be for
Pierre, the other aspirants for capital
hOnors, and the state at large. Let
the voters choose where they want
the capital located; then the ques-
tion should be settled for all time to
come. If the majority Of the voters
decide that they prefer n Of the
cities of Redfield, Huron or Mitchell,
very we'll. IT they decide that Pierre
is the best point, very WE'LL. Decide
upon the town. then stop all agita-
tion and devote the energies Of the
people toward putting up permanent
state buildings in which the records
may be safely kept and the business
Of the state transacted with some
degree OF comfort, and which will be
a credit to a great and prosperous
state such as South Dakota is con-
coded to be.
The News touches on a very i'm
portant point in the matter Of CAPT
tai removal. There has not been {
legislature in session at Pierre since
statehood but what has been ashamed
of the capitol building put at NJ
time has there been a feeling among
the people that the capital wa

whether the capital shall remain a

Civilian Professors Not Wanted.

The A,my and May JoWual OF today
contains the following:
1.-The superintendent OF the Naval
Academy, in the course OF mis- statement
bsfore the House Committee on Naval
Affairs. on March 4. expressed regret at
the probable necessity cf having to en-
gage additional civilian instructors for
the Academy, and his views will be gen
orally approved by the friends OF the
Service. He holds that for proper train
ing instructors from the corps OF officers
are needed, and that the lack Of such in.
slructofs is detrimegt TO the institution.
Civilian professors, he contends, are un-
able to control the cadets as officers do,
the reason being that the boys, having
been accustomed TO military methods,
pay more respect 10 those methods than
to the precepts OF instructors taken from
civil life. Naturally enough, cadets re-
gard an officer who has come back from
sea duty as a more competent teacher
than one who has had no such expert.
ence, and they are confident that he un-
dersiands them more thoroughly IL is
unfortunate that there should be any
necessity for employing eight additional
civilian instructors for the Academy. but
il is inevitable because OF the urgent need
for all available officers In other branches
of the Service. This condition itself at.
fords ample warrant Tor a progressive in
crease in the number OF naval cadets
