Eastern Oil Men Believe They Will Find
One in Central South Dakota.
HURON, S. D.-Thonlas G. George of
Chautauqua county, New York. has been
in this county several weeks representing
a company that is prospecting for oil. He
has investigated the data of all deep wells
that have been sunk and considers Beadle
county a promising field for prospecting.
The company believes there is pretoleum
underlying Allen township. ..---...~ -.
George has secured leases on seventeen
quarter sections Each lease is to the
effect that the company will prospect for
oil, and if it meets with success it will
have an equity in surrounding property
which it can make good. If the project
fails of accomplishment in the main fea-
ture-the tapping Of an oil basin-the
company will be out the cost of the wells
and the present land owners will be out
nothing. The company will spend at
least $4,000 in the demonstration.
The wells at Pierre and Cheyenne River
agency have been studied, and oil men be-
lieve there is basin of petroleum under
lying the water-bearing rock.

A HITCH ON PROTOCOLS.
Bowen R efuses toAccept Article Max

BoweniR efuses to Accept Article Mak-
 ing VenezueIH Pay Blockade Costs.
 WASHINGTON, April 4. A joint conference between Mir. Bowen and the British and Italian Ambassadors and the German first secretary was held al the British embassy. The meeting be, gan at II o'clock and lasted an hour and half. ~.-
 MT. Bowen presented his reply to the amendments which the allies had pro. posed to his original draft protocol. He accepted several changes of phrase. ology in the convention, but informed the other negotiators that under no cir cumstances would he accept the inser. ton of a new article providing that Venezuela should pay the costs of the blockade in' case the decision at The Hague be- adverse to preferential treat ment. His refusal on this point was absolute.
 It was agreed that MT. Bowen's ob- jections and arguments should be ca bled at once to London, Berlin and Rome. It is not expected that an an- swer can reach here before Wednes day. Tn the meantime Mir. Bowen will go to New York for several days rest.

WILLS MADE FOR A PURPOSE.

A lawyer of note was asked what change had come over the courts that permitted wills to be so frequently in validated. He replied: we hold to- day that a father and mother are re sponsible for the welfare of the chil- dren they bring into the world, and that no matter how bad such children may be, they must not be made 8 charge upon the community, but must be cared for by the parents if unable to support themselves. A recent case, for instance: A man worth some $2O, 100000 cuts of a wayward son, his excuse being that the boy is incapable Of taking care of himself or his for tune. By what right does that father make his son an outcast? You may safely wager that the will is to be broken unless the rest of the children agreee to an equal division. Young Cornelius Vanderbilt could have brok- en his fathers will, and would have done 1t if he had not married a very rich girl and his brother had not come down so handsomely. He is worth $10,O00000 to-day, which is enough for anybody.

EDUCATIONAL UNITY
Regents and State Depart ment May Yet Be at Peace.
NEW BILLS INTRODUCED AT ALBANY
Public Instruction Department to Be xRetained-Life Tenure of Regents to Be ,AboIishcd-A Fourteen l
 Year Term Instead.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 4.-Unifca tion of the educational departments of the state seems assured along the lines of the companion bills introduced in the senate by Senator Stevens and contain | ing suggestions made at a hearing by Regent St. Clair McKelway and As semblyman Landon of Duchess coun- ty, chairman of the public education committee of the senate.
 The bill presented by Senator Ste vens contains a number of concessions to Superintendent Skinner, principal among which is the provision that the department of public instruction shall remain intact, but shall be depart ment of the university.
 Speaking for his bill, Senator Ste vens said: Tt seems to me that these last unification bills meet with all ob- jections. First, the department of pub lie instruction is retained; second, the life tenure of regents is abolished, the present regents remaining in office; third, unification will be assured, and the annoying double inspections and examinations will be done away with"
 Senator H. R. Brown said: Things look brighter for unification than ever before. MT. McKelway's suggestions are in line with my bill, and I am at tempting to make concessions for the accomplishment of unification."
 The first of the Stevens bills amends section of chapter 37S of-the laws of 1892, known as the university law. It eliminates the provision that there shall be nineteen regents and provides that it's corporate powers shall be ex- ercised by it's elective regents and by the governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state who shall be ex off cio regents. The provision that the SUI perintendent of public instruction shall be an ex officio regent, as at present, is stricken out.
 Elective regents hereafter shall be elected for 8 term of fourteen years, and no person shall be at the same time regent and an officer of any institu- ton belonging to the university.
 The second Stevens bill, amending section ? of chapter 556 of the laws of 1894, continues the office of superin- tendent of public instruction and pro- vides that he shall be elected and hold office during the pleasure and under the control of the regents. The depart ment of public instruction shall be department of the university. It also provides that the superintendent may be removed and a successor elected at. the pleasure of the regents.

Itching Piles is, one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known, Men and women, old and young,r rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating rnalady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch- ing diseases of the skin.

BIG coFFINs FOR CHINEsr.

An undertaken whose patronage covers the Chinese quarter on Race street was talking the other day of the experiences which his calling devel- ops from time to time.
 Tt is curious fact" he said, "that the littlest people I am called upon to bury require the largest cofins. By littlest, l mean the littlest as a race in other words I mean the Chinese. suppose have officiated at more Chi nese funerals than any other under taker in the Quaker city, and never yet have I furnished a Chinaman with a coffin that wa5 not several sizes to big for him. Whether their religion re- qufres this loose fit am not prepared to say, but certain it is that baggi- ness is virtue in their collins, just as 1t is in their blouses and trousers, and that every properly constituted Chi naman selects his last house as rroomy as possible. Take man who is 5 feet inches high, and of proportion ate girth, for xample. Naturally a fellow of that size could never cut much of q splurge in life, yet when he comes to die he takes up as much room as giant. Not one inch less than six and one-half or seven feet will sat isfy for the length of his coffin, the width must be three feet and the walls of his coffin at least two inches thick. These dimensions mind you are for an undersized man.. For Chinaman of the regulation Occidental proportions the size of his coffin increases in di- , .ct ratio to his own stature and bulk, and the consequence is that at some of my Chinese funerals it seems as if I were burying treasure chests instead of receptacles for dead humanity Philadelphia Telegraph.

Eight Killed In Riots.

MONTEREY, Mexico, April A. Thursdays deplorable occurrence, which, according to latest reports, re- suited in the death of eight persons, two policemen and six civilians, and the injury of twenty others, has not re- suited in any further disturbance. The cause of the riot is directly attributa- bic to the cry of Death to Reyesv' which was raised by a young man said to be a student. No sooner had the cry been raised than a policeman who stood near drew his revolver and in stantly killed the man, thus precipitat- ing the trouble

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. 1c8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. :, says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent. irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointrnents I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for if, ritation of the skin there is on the market. :" "a

LADIES' AID SOCIETY.
Good Work of their Organization for the
Town Hall

The Ladies' Aid Society did good
work for the Hall Saturday in the way Of
refreshments, preparing nine gallons Of
cream for sale When rained out in the
afternoon they carried their ice cream
to the News Office where a very enjoy
able time was spent eating ice cream
from the tops of presses and imposing
stones. 1t was one Of the most unique
"exertions" ever held and about 5000
worth was sold.
At night adjournment was made to
the school house where the program
printed in the News last week was car
ried out very successfully. The instru-
mental music by Miss Agnes Milbrandt
and Mr.. w. c. Hill was carefully rem
dered but the effect was somewhat
spoiled by the deficiency of the organ
used. The solo by Miss Gustafson was
we'll received, and the duet by Misses
Gnstafson and Louise Hill was also
pleasing. The recitations by Misses
Juliette Hopkins and Grace Thomas
were well received. Mr.. Pryor's talk
was very much applauded. The farce
miss Shelby's Pink Tea" was a
'howling success" to put the idea in
stage language. The characters were
all cleverly played. Miss Agnes Mil
brandt played the part of Louise Shell
by excellently, while Aunt Dinah, Miss
Louise Hill, and her boy, Josephus
Paulus, Walter Hopkins, brought down
the house. Walter Randle took tho
short part of the preacher satisfactorily.
Aftor the program the sale of ice
cream was continued and the gross pro-
cecds of the day were run up to S10. 70,
which after expenses are deducted will
be added to the Hall Fund.
Subsequently the sum total was swell
led by donations, disposal of cream left
over to $24.2O. Deducting expenses
which were heavy on account Of the
large quantity of cream made, left
S17.14 as net results, and $l700 was
paid to the Treasurer Of the Hall Funds
Monday.
The News congratulates the ladlos on
their efforts to raise funds for the hall,
which are greatly needed.
