LIGHT TURNED ON
Popular Misconceptions Of School Lay

Popular Misconceptions Of School, Laws
Cleared Wway at canton,s Meeting.
CANTON, s. D.--A great deal Of mis-
understood school law was untangled in
the discussions at the recent state conven-
ton of county superintendent and school
professors in this city. Among the mat
tiers of law commonly misunderstood that
were corrected was that in relation to
boards of directors purchasing school sup
plies and school furniture. It has been the
general understanding that school officers
were authorized to purchase up to the
limit Of SO, but the discussions dis
closed the fact that they are not author
ICED to lay out single dollar for such
purposes without a vote of the district
One of the most seriously misunder-
stood school laws on the statutes is that
regulating the change Of boundary lines
Of school districts. The law on this sub
ject has always been indefinite, one of It's
provisions being that vote on such
change may be ordered upon athe presen
tation Of petition signed by ten Legal
voters in the districts. The practice has
been to order these elections at the re-
quest Of only ten legal voters in all the
districts. while the convention discovered
that ten signers from every interested dis
trict are required.

CLUE WAS A BAD one
Man Suspected Of Being Rosseau,

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, May 23.-Officers who left
this city yesterday afternoon for Browns
gulch, eight miles distant from Butte, in
quest of Rosseau, the anarchist suspected
of attempting to destroy the steamship
Umbria, returned without their man.
From information received from the
postal authorities it was learned that let
tiers have been going thru the mails d.
rected to one Rosseau, who lived in
! cabin in the, dense brush of Browns
gulch. The officers expected a fight in
the effort to trap Rosseau, but when the
squad swooped down upon the lonely hab-
itation supposed to shelter the anarchist,
| it was found to be empty.
| Inquiry revealed that the man they
sought was living in South Butte and was
working IS a day laborer. The man was
easily located and 1t was learned that his
name was not Rosseau, but Napoleon
Rosesan. Thru a peculiar error, Rossean's
mail for several years had been directed
to him under the name of the man sus-
pected Of attempting the destruction Of
| the Cunard liner. Rcssean happened to
be absent from Butte for about month
at the time of the discovery Of the in
/ fernal machine on the wharf of the Um--
4 bria and these facts directed the sus-
picion OF the officers against him.
Rossean says during his absence he
was working in Browns gu1ch and lived
in the cabin mentioned. He does not
resemble the man said to have bought
| the batteries Of the Montana Electric
company or the cigar lighter found in the
Internal machine at Browne & FIanni-
gan's store.
I Detective Murphy visited Browne &
F1annigan's store and found that the sus-
pect wanted to buy lighter, but hest
tated a time before taking the one he
looked at He wanted to be sure that
1t would work. and on the mechanism be-
Ing explained was satisfied and made
the purchase. He first wanted to buy only
the mechanical part, and wanted the re-
i duction without batteries. These were
i the wet batteries and he said he did not
want them. On being told that the ma
chine was sold all, together, he finally
took it.
These two wet batteries are the ones

the delivery from the Deadwood depots
until the. strike in Omaha Is over, at least.
Agents for the companies operating in
Deadwood are Of the opinion that the new
order will not perceptibly taffect the price
OF meat to the consumer. The rate for
delivery In Deadwood, which has been
paid by the packing houses, has been 5
cents hundredweight. and for the deliv-
cry at Lead 1t has been 10 cents. the de-
livery in these two towns being made prin-
cipally by dray. For points further dis
tant the cost has been correspondingly
greater. It is explained that the packing
companies may be able to make con-
cession In prices to local butchers suf-
flcient to equalize the price to the CON
sumner so that the latter will not have to
pay any more than formerly.
It Is expected however, il the strike IN
the packing plants continues much longer
the price OF beef will advance materially,
as the Black Hills country, Altho on the
border Of the greatest beef country in the
west, is curiously enough dependent on
the Omaha and Chicago packers for its
fresh meat supply.

PERMANENT MILITARY POST
Lake City Expects to Be Such During the

Lake City Expects to Be Such During the
Summer Months.
LAKE CITY, MINN.-Citizens are much
pleased over the change of plans by the
war department which will virtually result
in making this city a permanent military
post during the summer months. The
rife range at Frontenac Is to be aban
dohed and hereafter all troops in the state
will come to this point for target prac-
tite. Beginning on June 15 when the
Third regiment and battalion Of artillery
go into camp. d until in August there
will be troops at Camp Lakeview con-
tinuously. The regulars will fill in while
the guardsmen are away, one battalion
at a time. and then finish up when the
EuArdsnen are thru. .~%
This means much to the business men
of this city and will add greatly to the
attractions for summer visitors.
Captain M. j.. Wiley. ordnance officer
on the brigade staff, was in Lake City
this week and made an inspection Of the
range. He found everything to be in
tirst-class shape. Several improvements
will be made to facilitate work. All tele-
phone cross lines connecting the pit and
firing line are to be placed under ground,
and new sliding target frames will be
erected to displace the old revolving tar
gets.
General Libbey has received the new
state rifle team medal which will be
awarded to the regimer1tal team making
the highest average. This will take the
place Of the one awarded the Third regi-
ment team last year, and which became

Back Of the movement to have Caldwell
come out, is a chapter connected with the
attempted anti-railroad legislation in the
last general assembly. When the measure
for a revision Of the laws on railroad
assessments was pending before the SEN

Hopkins and of Senator G. c. Dowell OF

sidered there was some obligation rest.

not yield.
