Forgot His Devotion.

This from Ralph Wheelock in the
Minneapolis Tribune: Two little Min
neapolis boys seven years of age quar-
relied the other day, while one was via
iting the other. Bedtime came and
the quarrel was still open. The mother
of the little host after his guest had
gone to bed, told her son be oughs to
go and make up with his friend. The
little chap went up to- the room whers
his friend was to sleep, and rapping on
the door expressed his wish to wipe out
the score. There was no response al
first and rapping again he repeated mis-
wish. The solicitous mother, who had
siptoed up behind her boy to note re
suits was shocked to hear this response
from within: "Oh, go to hi; I'm say
ing my prayers"

GETS OUT OF PENITENT TIARY.
s. H. Wright Was Released From
Penitentiary on Supreme
Court Order.

S. 81. Wright, who was convicted in
the circuit court at Sioux Falls on the
charge of embezzlement, and was SEN
fenced to one year in the peninten ntiary,
is now at liberty. Mr.. Wright was
placed in the penintentiary and re-
mained there for several days. His at
torneys went to Pierre and secured his
release before the supreme court under
writ OF error, and he was then turned
over to the sheriff of Minnehaha county
to be held until his bond OF $1,000 was
secured. Mr. Wright's daughter Sc
cured the boud from among the friends
at Centerville and went to Sioux Falls
yesterday to secure her fathers tempo
rary freedom. 1t is presumed that
Wright will get new hearing looking
toward his permanent release.
The writ of error acts as stay of
proceedings until the case is reviewed
by the supreme cC lrt, which is expected
to be done In about six or eight weeks
II there were any material errors in the
trial, the case will be sent back for re-
trial at the next term of the circuit
court, which will be in April. And if
the supreme court finds no errors, and
af1irms the decision of the lower court,
MIR. Wright will then have to erve his
sen tence.

Representatives to Educational Meet
ing Came Home Saturday via
Omaha Road

Supt. Coursey, Supt. Quigley, H. L.
Bras, Prof. Hoff and C. G. Bras
arrived home Saturday evening via
the Omaha road from their attendance
at the meeting of the State Educational
Association which was held at Madison
the last three days of the week. They
report very good attendance at the
meeting, probably about 300 educators,
and that there was great deal of inter-
est displayed by The teachers.
There were some very fine addresses
delivered along educational lines and
considerable special work was given in
the various subdivision meetings, which
was thorough instructive to the young
er teachers.
IN the election OF a president of the
association for the ensuing year Prof.
John W. Heston, president of the
Brookings Agricultural college, was se-
lected. O: W. Coursey, superintendent
of schools OF Dawson c3unty, was made
the corresponding secretary. The other
places in the official family were filled
by capable people.
The Mitchell contingent went over to
Madison for the purpose of securing the
location of the association at Mitchell
in 1902, and it soon developed that there
was considerable opposition from Sioux
Falls, which was anxious for the meet
ing. The association, however, decided
upon Mitchell. 1t is understood that at
the next meeting an effort will be made
to locate the convention of teachers per-
manently. For this Sioux Falls will
make hard fight to secure. In per.
manent location of a convention of this
character accessibility ought to be the
dominating feature along with the ac-
Communications. In one respect Mitchell
offers good Accommodations and SO far as
accessibility is concerned Sioux Falls is
| too far removed from the center of the
population, it is too far for people to
travel from the north and west parts Of
the state. The great bulk of the teach.
ers can reach Mitchell quicker and
cheaper than Sioux Fails, and it is this
point that ought to be taken into con-
sideration.
1 Madison took very good care OF the
educators and their stay was pleasan,
and profitable.

TO MEET With GOVERNORS.
Gov. Herried and Attorney General
Pyle go to Helena, Mont, to
Discuss Railroad Matters.

Gov. Chas. N. Herried and Attorney
General John M. Pyle passed through
the city Saturday on their way to
Helena, Mont. They will there meet
the governors OF other western states
for the purpose of discussing the conso-
idation of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads.
The meeting of the governors was
called by Gov. Van SAINT, OF Minnesota,
and it is probable that some action will
be taken to bring the matter before the
legislatures of the several states to adopt
laws with reference to the proposed
consolidation not only of these two roads
but to prevent anything further along
that line.

what had been accomplished in many

buck for the want OF funds to employ
missionaries. Miss Gold Corwin's pa.
per discussed "What Plan of Action
will bring about the Speediest Evangeli-

offered several suggestion along that
line. Rev. DR.. Youngman read an in
