Deadwood received on the Goth OF
August the most damaging storm which
has visited the city for many years. The
rain fell in torrents and many cellars
and easements were flooded two and
three feet deep. 1t is impossible to es-
innate the damage at this time but it is
certain to amount to many thousands of
dollars. Most of the merchants lost
heavily by damage to goods stored in
Easements, and it is reported that the
new Franklin hotel met with the most
severe loss of all.

There is no question but what the

can do a great deal toward the sue

corn for decorative purposes, and
preserving some of the best samples
Of grains and grasses and anything
else that would tend to make the

GOT FREE OF THE LAW
Young Alexander Mckay Was Not
Prosecuted for Issuing Worth
less Checks,

Last week the papers Of Sioux City
published a story concerning Alex.
Mckay, the former clerk Of courts OF
Lyman county, as to his securing
money on checks when his bank
account was void ut all OF the banks.
He went to Sioux City on the money
he thus got and looked for work. He
went broke before he got it and then
the sheriff Of Brulecounty went down
after the young man. He was taken
back to Chamberlain and after one
or two attempts to hold an examina-
ton Mckay got enough money to-
gether to redeem all the checks at
their face value and the district at
torney finally Withdrew the informa-
tion against him and he was dis
charged from custody.
Young Mckay came to Mitchell q
little over a year ago and was married
and he appeared like a mighty nice
fellow, and we guess he is, although

MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS
Board Of Education Decide to Make
it q Special Feature During
the Spring Term.

ZEa@H.t EagE1 sEta&~S
The regular meeting of the board
of education was held Friday and the
greater share Of the evening was de-
voted to routine business.
The board took up very important
matter with reference to the city
schools and took decisive action on
the same. This is with reference to
teaching music in the variohs depart-
ments. A contract was made with
Miss Mary Windle to teach music
during the spring term at a salary OF
S65 per month. Miss Windle will
divide her time among the various
rooms Of the city schools and aside
from teaching the children voice
culture will give some instructions
to the teachers Of the departments in
order that they may carry out her
ideas. OF 0 it is impossible for
Miss Windle to be in each room
every day, and the work she installs
can be very well carried out with
the assistance of the teachers.
Miss Windle resigned her position
In the Sioux City schools some time
ago and went to Detroit, Mich, to
take a special course Of instruction
to teach music in the public
schools, and in this line of work she
is highly efficient.
Music in the public schools is a
very important matter, and one that
has been neglected to a serious ex-
tent. When the children sing their
songs in the lower grades there is
always a rivalry on the part Of those
who have strong voices to outshine
the weaker ones, and the latter
make an effort to keep up the pace,
with the result that in hundreds OF
cases a child's voice Of any promise
is spoiled by the lack OF knowledge
of how to use their vocal organs.
With music taught In the schools on
a scientific basis this will be done
away with, and in the few years to
come, as the children grow up, in
stead Of there being a scarcity OF
singers. in the community, there will
be enough to dignity the art when
singing for public gatherings is
needed. 1t vas a very wise move on
the part Of the board Of education
and its action will receive the hearty
commentator of the people Of the
community.

the job quickly and neatly. After
