was continued on motion Of States
Attorney Goodner, who had received
notice that Peterson had sworn out a
warrant in Pennington county and that
the sheriff of that county was on his
way to Pierre.
The woman claims to be Peterson's
wife, saying that they were married in
Rapid City four years ago, and that
the children with her are the issue OF
that marriage; that some time ago
she was suffering from rheumatism,
and that Peterson took her to the hos
pital at Rapid City, and after paying
current expenses left her three checks
signed in blank to be filled out by her
for necessary expenses while at Rapid
City, and the checks in question are
two of these, in which she filled in the
figures.
The Pierre National bank is paying
the expenses of the woman and chill
dren while in that city. AS there is
some question as to just where the
case should be heard, the chances are
that 1t will be in Pennington county,
as Mrs Peterson is willing to go to
that county with the sheriff, having
relatives there, and the warrant sworn
to by the husband is in that county.

very proud Of its graduates. The test
OF efficiency in educational institutions
can be no more surely made than by
the standing which it's graduates take
in the world of actual affairs. Judged
by this standard, the university ot
South Dakota takes rank second to no
other institution in the quality of the
work done.
Capt. E. j. Wallace, graduate of
the university, now stationed at Fort
Hancock, N. j., as captain OF artillery,
has made application, upon the approx
al of the regents, to be detailed as mill
itary instructor at the university.
Capt. Wallace is a brainy man, and
has made E brilliant career for young
man as a student of military science
and tactics. The regents and the fac
ulty of the university are unanimous
in their wish to have him appointed to
this position. Capt. Wallace is well
and favorably known by reputation to
the student body, and his appointment
will be received with enthusiastic APP
proval on all hands. r..
Arrangements are being made for
the annual series of debates. The de-
batting board hopes to make arrange
ments with the University of Nebraska
and other nearby institutions whereby
intercollegiate debates can be held
with greater convenience than in the
past.
The enrolment in the college of law
for the present year is considerably in
excess of that of last year, much to the
qualification Of those in charge. The
rapid development of the college of law
is another evidence of the prosperity
of the university and the efficiency Of
its management.

SOUTH DAKOTA BUILDING.
Unique Plan Ready for Structure at
ST. Louis Fair.

St. LUIS
w. l.. Dow & Son, architects OF
Sioux Falls, who were engaged by the
board which will have charge of South
Dakota's exhibit at the st. Louis expo
sition TO prepare the plans for the
building, have completed the work and
in few days the members of the
board will depart for st. Louis to
award the contract for the erection OF
the building.
The structure will be two stories In
height and will occupy a ground space
of AXES feet There will be two
porches ten feet wide and thirty feet
long, one at the main entrance to the
building and the other on the side.
There will be no outside decorations.
The structure will be frame and will
be finished with Yankton cement and
a tile roof
From the main hall the visitor will
go into large hall 26x44 feet in
size, with twenty-eightfoot ceilings.
This room and the entrance hall is
presented. 1t is the intention of the
com mission TO handsomely decorate
these two rooms with corn and other
grains and grasses grown in South Da-
kota.
The side walls and ceilings will be
cut into panels six feet square, and 1t
is also the purpose of the commission
to induce different counties and cities
of the state to take one of these panels
end have handsome design, with the
name of the city or county worked in
in an artistic manner. This was the
plan followed in the South Dakota
building at the worlds fair at Chicago,
but colored glass was used instead OF
grains.
The decorations in the main hall
and entrance will be as fine as can be
made, and the exhibit is certain to
attract as much attention as any at
the exposition.

PROGRESS OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY
Affairs Are in Better Shape Than Ever Before
Additions to the Faculty.

Affairs at the state university are
now in full swing for the years work.
DIR. Howard, recently appointed to the
chair OF Latin, has already assumed his
duties and things are moving forward
In that department with accustomed
regularity and precision. DR.. Howard
is regarded as very valuable acqui-
sition to the faculty, being a man OF
ripe scholarship and wide experience
In teaching. Prof. Perjsho of Platville,
Wis, has been elected to the chair of
geology to succeed Prof. Todd, and will
assume his duties about the first of
November. Prof. Perisho is recog-
nized as one Of the leading biologists
of the West, having been given charge
Of the field work of Southern Wiscon-
sin, under the government survey.
Prof Perisho will ucceed Prof. Todd
as state geologist, in addition to filling
the chair Of geology at the university.
The recognition which the graduates
Of the University of South Dakota are
receiving in the East and elsewhere is
particularly gratifying to those who
believe in the development of home
institutions. Mr.. G. w. Thompson, who
received the degree of NJ. A. last year
at our state university, goes this year
TO Harvard to take a masters degree
from that institution, and is admitted
for work on this degree on exactly
the same basis as the great state uni
versities. He will be able to receive
his degree at the end of one year Miss
Anna Johnson, another member of last
years graduating class, is at Sioux
City doing special work in mathemat-
les, where she received a scholarship
on the ground of special merit.

Wheat Yields in Hughes County.

Thresher returns in Hughes county
are better than was expected by most
of the farmers. The average yield is
about Is bushels Per acre, with fields
running as low as IL bushels and
others as high as 20 bushels. Stull
Brothers secured 20 bushels per acre
from a field of so acres, and also re-
port a yield of so bushels per acre Of
well-matured corn on a field of 100
acres. The averages run about the
same as this on both wheat and corn
over this section of the state.

thereby establishing Faux county's
claim to the best exhibit. A mistake
was made in the footings of columns
of ratings by the judges. AT the close
Of the state fair Faux county was put
in fifth place, but shortly afterwards
it was discovered that mistake had
been made in the footings Of columns
of ratings of 100 points. all being
based on a possible 1000 points.
The state board was anxious that
justice should be done to all exhibit
ors and postponed their action OF
awarding prizes at the close OF the
fair until it's meeting at WATERFOWL,
thus giving all concerned a chance to
get over their excitement and time
to study the matter fully and to look
into all the facts. Dawson was award
ed second and Hughes third. From
letters received from al. parts of the
state in regard to Faulk county's
claim it is safe to say that the final
decision by the board will give uni
versal satisfaction.

WOMAN IS UNDER ARREST
Claims the Man Who Charges Her With Forgery Is
Her Husband.

Sheriff Laughlin has brought to
Pierre from Ames, Neb., Mrs. Kate Pc
terson, who is charged with forgery.
Back of this is story which will have
to be finished in the courts. Several
days ago John Peterson, a sheep
rancher from western Stanley county,
came into the Pierre National bank,
and in checking up his account threw
out two checks of $l25 each which he
declared to be forgeries. They had
been cashed by the First National
bank of Rapid City, and bore the in
dorsement of Kate Peterson. The sig
natures looked all right, but Peterson
declared that they were forgeries. He
further stated that Kat Peterson had
been his housekeeper for several years
but was not related to him,
Without much difficulty Kate Peter
son was located in Nebraska and ex-
pressed her willingness to come 20
Dakota without requisition. When
Sheriff Laughlin went after her he
found that she had two small children,
one few years old and the other but
seven weeks old. On reaching Pierre
she was given her liberty on her own
recognizance. A hearing was set, but

Union Hill and Edgemont Companies
Clear of Indebtedness.
In the circuit court at DeadWood
satisfaction bonds have been filed on
all liens against the Union Hill and
Edgemont companies. This indicates
settlement of all Indebtedness against
these companies.
Demurrers were filed at Deadwood
by 8. r. Smith against three suits for
libel. each in the sum of $4,000, which
have been instituted by Messrs. Bar
ron, Whitford & Nichols Of Lead.
Judge Rice has issued an order over
ruling the demurrers. These suits
arose from the publication in the Lead
City Call of a card over Mr.. Smiths
signature, alleging that Barron, Whit
ford & Nichols had been bribed by A.
McGill to purchase piano of McGtii.
Smith and McGill were rival dealers.
Suit was also started against mcGiu
against Smith for $4,000, but in this
case the demurrer was sustained.
