BALKY HORSES CHAMPION.

The balky horse has found a cham p1on. Miss Mabel Alva Messenger, who has been conducting an individual crusade in behalf of this much abused animal, issbroadening her efforts to save the stubborn horse from misreat- ment. As 8 lifelong friend of the ani- mal she is trying to save him from un- deserved punishment. Miss Messenger has more than a plea for the balky horse. She has cure for his stub bornness. She has come upon such q horse, wearing his drivers patience to the limit, blocking a street full of ve hicles and probably tying up two or three lines of street cars, and with her plan has soothed the drivers temper, started the horse on his way, and has released the congested mass of traffic.
 Don't beat the horse. That is Miss Messengers first bit of advice. He may have sort of equine reason back of his conduct. Then her remedy is of the simplest. David Harum had an amusing remedy, but it required pa tience. He, it will be remembered, tied the animal so that 1t could not move when 1t wanted to- and his pa tience exceeded that of the balky horse. Miss Messengers remedy takes just minute. She simply lifts one of the horses front hoofs holds 1t up for a minute, and when she had dropped 1t the horse has lost his stubbornness. The plan has never failed, she asserts. Explaining her crusade, Miss Messen- ger says:
 Much cruelty and inconvenience could be avoided in the treatment of balky horses did the drivers know of a simple and sure means of curing this most disagreeable of faults. While In Arizona and New Mexico have known many permanent cures effected in horses that have baked for years. Whether 1t Is permanent or not. 1t is always effective for the time being A horse that balks usually does so from having been overloaded at some time, and though at the time he balks his load may be light for some unaccount- able reason ne refuses to move. -Chi- cago Tribune.

CHTLDRBN's MEMORY.
The Results of an International Inves- tigation by Chicago Educators.

The Results of an International Inves-
 tigation by Chicago Educators.
 An investigation into the power of memory in children was recently made lby the director of the department of chdld-study for the Chicago public schools It was found, among other interesting results, that there Is no "memory period no period in early school life when the memory Is strong CT than it Is at any later portion of the child's life, period especially adapted for learning to spell. While there are no memory stages, there are un- doubtedly periods of interest that are especially favorable for the child's learning to spell; times when the child is aroused from indifference or from a feeling that spelling is small part of life to recognition that 1t Is im- portant. It has been pointed out that during early school life the auditory member is the stronger, and later that the vital memory Is stronger. Dur Ing the whole of school life, the audio- visual memory Is stronger than either the auditory or visual That is, a si- multaneous appeal to both sight and shearing produces a richer and more usable image than is brought about by an appeal to either sense alone It would seem from this that the more senses we can appeal to, the deeper will be the impression.

ing as Any in State

In 1880 a p%ostot1ice was established
in Mitchell, taking the place Of the
one that had served Mitchell up TO
that time-Firesteel. 1t was located
on Main street, opposite the building
now occupied by Broadbent's furni-
ture store. John Walsh was the first
postmaster. Next Captain Rathbun.
Of Marion, Iowa, was appointed, al
though not a resident of the town or
territory, through the kindly offices
Of Frank Hatton, then postmaster
general. Later the Office was placed
under the management of Gail Rath-
bon. who had been assistant under
the postmaster. He managed the
office for ONE months longer, whe .
after quite a bitter fight, Geo. A.
Silsby was appointed by President
Arthur. and some time in May, 1889,
he took possession.
In the meantime the Office had
been removed to a dinky little build
ing standing where Scallin Bros
store is now located, and soon after
Mr.. Silsby took possession he began
to plan for more commodious quar-
tiers, and finally induced Nose

privilege. Prof. Duncan, who is more
Intimately acquainted with Prof
Fullmer perhaps than any other man
in Mitchell, in his remarks after the
presentation, expressed the senti-
ments Of all our hearts when he said,
that ''tO know him is to love him :
he is a true man, he is pure as gold"
Few men r as great in the estima-
tiOn Of others as in their own eyes,
but in Prof. Fullmer we have a nota-
BILE exception. He displays that spir-
it which makes warm and abiding
friends.
AS a teacher in the science--depart-
ment, especially in the Laboratory
work, he possesses--those qualities
that make for Observation-Disclosures,
diligence, ability. In his departure
to his new sphere of labor, many
hearts breathe a prayer of GOD speed,
and we shall watch with peculiar in.

MRS. FOSTER DIES SUDDENLY
Was Staying on a Claim 20 Miles
North Of Gam Valley With
Mrs. Barber.

A very sad message was received
by Mrs. Geo. H. Miner Thursday
from Gam Valley, which an
nounced the sudden death of her
mother. Mrs. Francis A. Foster,
aged 81 years. Her death occurred
Wednesday evening at 8 O'Clock,
with her daughter, Mrs. w. A. Bar
Der, at her bedside. Mrs. Barber
sent d messenger to Gam Valley.
who arrived there at 2 O'Clock in the
night and the information was tele-
phoned to W. A. Barber. The mes
senger could give no details Of Mrs.
Fosters death, other than that she
was sick but one day. Several times
this summer, while she has been in
Mitchell, her heart action has been
poor, and it is thought that this
might have caused her death.
About a month ago Mrs. Foster
and Nus. Barber went out to Buffalo
county to take up their residence on
some government land, and we're get
ting along very nicely. In writing
Of her mothers health Sunday Mrs.
Barber. remarked that she was quite
we'll and they we're out driving
around the country nearly every day.
Mrs. Foster has been anxious for
some time to take up a piece CT gov
eminent land, the old trait having
been strong within her, as something
like fifty years ago she and her hus-
band, now deceased, located in the
vicinity OF Yankton, driving through
from DesMoines, Iowa, with an OK
team, and since then have filed on a
good deal of government land.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Foster will he received very re-
eretfully by her many friends in
Mitchell, where she was loved and
esteemed.
W. A. Barber and Undertaken
Noble went out to Pukwanna that
afternoon and drove to the claim
that night. They expect to re-
turn this morning with the remains
of Mrs. Foster.

PROF. FULLMER SURPRISED.
Students and Friends Gave a Party
in Honor of His Departure
for Ohio.

Monday evening occurred a very
pleasant surprise party at the home
OF Prof. and Mrs. L. A. Stout IN
honor Of Prof. and Mrs Edward L.
Fulimer. This was an impromptu
gathering Of Students, friends and
]nelghbors Of Prof. Fullmer before his
departure from Mitchell to fill the
chair Of natural science in Baldwin
University, Berea, Ohio, to which
position he has recently been elected.
Had it not been for the severe storm
previous to the hour of assembling
the number present Of about forty
would have been increased to nearly
one hundred.
Levi Tillotson contributed to the
pleasant social features of..the evening
by giving IN a very entertaining man.
ner a humorous prose recitation and
the poem. "Afterwhile," by Riley.
Rev. James Crowther in a few we'll
chosen words presented Prof. Fullmer
with a purse Of S25 as a small token
of the high esteem in which he is
held by his students and other
friends. To this the professor briefly
responded with heartfelt thanks for
this expression of grateful remem-
prance.
Prof. Fullmer was horn July Both,
1870. He was educated in the Ohio
University at Columbus, taking the
degree of Bachelor of Science in 1897,
and the Masters degree in 1899. which
was followed by a post graduate work
in botany IN the same institution.
In the fall of 1899, with high testi-
monials of character and equipment,
he vas elected professor of natural
science in Dakota University, which
place he has filled for four years in a
very creditable manner. Prof. Full
mer has proved himself a capable
head Of this department. AS an un-
firing worker and successful expert
menter it has been much improved
and enlarged under his supervision.
During the spring term Prof. Full
mer found himself overworked and
his physician prescribed rest and a
change of occupation, and advised
that this be continued for several
months and perhaps a year, if neces-
sary. But the professors constant
outdoor work at scientific gardening
during the summer vacation has so
recuperated his health that he has
decided to continue his chosen occu-
patton Of teaching. 1t is said that
the best advertisement for a college
is its students. The many kind and
appreciative words that Prof. Full
mer's pupils have for him is the best
testimony Of his work, character and
ability. The professors numerous
Mitchell's friends will regret his de.
parture but hope their loss will prove
his gain, and wish him much success
in his new field Of labor.

Thompson, an oldtime merchant Of
Mitchell, to erect the building from
which the postoffice now removes to
its elegant new quarters. In the
meantime Cleveland had been elected
and three or four strong democrats
were after the Office, among them
being don. James Foster and Hon.
David Hammer. both now deceased.
1t was during the contest for the
Office that the new building was
erected. and the contract made with
the Yale & Town Lock Co. for the
outfit that has served the Office since.
In August, 1884, the fixtures we're
placed and the new Office opened. 1t
was considered metropolitan for
Mitchell then, but in the rapid
strides the city has made, it long
since became inadequate for the
needs Of the public. In September
following its occupancy Silsby was
removed by President Cleveland, for
"pernicious activity" and Mr..
Hammer appointed.
He served four years when he was
retired and j.. W. Beattie became
postmaster. At the end of fourNears
he gave way Tor Mr.. S. T. Greene,
who held for about four years and a
half, the last few months because
his successor was not named, as
there was then a hot contest for
the place. Finally H. G. Clark was
named, and after serving four years
he gave way to the present incum-
bent, Fl. L.. Bras.
