Of Interest to Nurserymen.

Nurserymen as well as the grow
ers of plants, are interested in all
efforts looking to preventing the
introduction of pernicious insects
and plant diseases. Chapter $50 of
the laws of 1899, makes it impera-
tive for our Experiment Station to
inspect all nurseries and ascertain
by personal study, whether or not
the plants they contain are infected
with insects and fungous pests.
This work is in charge of Prof. T..
P. Sandsten, Horticulturist. Mr..
Sandsten has secured the services of
Mr.. Christian Bues of New York,
an expert in these matters. All
nurserymen wishing their premises
inspected should send application at
once to Prof. E. P. Sandsten, Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Madi-
son, Wis, in order that Mr.. Bues
may visit their premises while he is
in the state. w. A. HENRY,
Director.

State Institutions.
". INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR
BOYS.

This school is situated at Wauke-
sha and was established in 1860.
The object of the school is to keep,
instruct and reform all male children
between the ages of 10 and Is
years who may have been commit
ted as Migrants, for incorrigible or
vicious conduct, or on conviction of
any minor criminal offense. They
are committed to this institution by
a county, municipal, circuit judge,
or justice of the peace, provided,
however, that no child shall be
committed as vagrant or incorrigible
until one of the supervisors of the
town or superintendent of the poor
has been notified and consulted.
After being committed they remain
here until they are 81 years old. If
their conduct warrants they are
paroled to their homes. Obedience
and discipline, cleanliness, love of
work, all COMMON school branches,
singing manual training, metal and
wood working, tailoring, shoemak-
ing, knitting, laundry work, farming
and gardening are taught. Each day
d hours are devoted to school work,
four hours to the trades and indus
tries, and the balance to enjoyment,
such as reading, playing games,
marching to the music of the excel
lent school band, etc.
Each county pays dollar week
for every boy committed to the
school. The population of the
institution is about 10000 in the
school and 200 out on parole.
Something near $3a5,ooo has been
expended for real estate and perma-
nent buildings here SO far. Belong
ing to the school there is tract of
400 acres.

The contest from Wisconsin was
heard by the national comittee for

"Never interrupt the enemy while
he is making a mistake"

1--WE are gathered here, not as
factions, torn by discordant views,
but moved by one desire and intent,
the chosen representatives of the
most enlightened party in the world.
We meet not as strangers, for no
men are strangers who hold the
same belief and espouse the same
cause. The same traditions inspire
and the same purposes actuate us all.
Never in our lives did these pur-
poses stand with deeper root than
now"

Gems of the Convention.

"There is one fundamental plank
on which the two great parties are
in full agreement. Both believe in
the equality of men. The difference
is that the Democratic party would
make every man as low as the poor
est, while the Republican party
would make every man as high as
the best"

"The name of the Republican
party stands over every door where
righteous cause was born. It's

been the sign of hope on every spot

tant, and in motion"

"The American people have seen
Theodore Roosevelt for many years
and always where the fight was
thickest and the greatest need was
felt. His qualities do not need to
be retold. as***He is not conservative,
if conservatism means waiting until
it is too late. He is not wise, if
wisdom is to count thing hundred
times when once will do. There
is no regret SO keen, in man or
country, as that which follows an
opportunity unembraced."

"The fate of nations is still decid-
ed by their wars. You may talk of
orderly tribunals and learned refer
ees; you may sing in your schools
the gentle praises of the quiet life;
you may strike from your books the
last note of every martial anthem,
and yet out in the smoke and thund-
er will always be the tramp of horses
and the silent, rigid, upturned face.
Men may prophesy and women
pray, but peace will come here to
abide forever on this earth only
when the dreams of childhood are
the accepted charts to guide the
destinies of men. Events are num-
berless and mighty, and no man can
tell WHICH wire runs around the
world. The nation basking to-day
in the quiet of contentment and re-
pose may still be on the deadly cir
cult and tomorrow writhing in the
tolls of war.
"This is the time when great fig
ures must, be kept in front. If the
pressure is great the material to re-
sist it must be granite and iron.
Whether we wish it or not, Ameri-
ca is abroad in this world. Her in
terests> so sacred and stupendous
should be trusted only to the care of
those whose power, skill and cour-
age have been tested and approved.
And in the man whom you will
choose, the highest sense of every
nation in the world beholds a man
who typifies as no other living
American does, the spirit and the
purposes of the twentieth century.
He does not claim to be the Solo,
mon of his time. There are many
things he may not know, but this is
sure, that above all things else he
stands for progress, courage and
fair play, which are the synonyms
of the American name.
"There are times when great fit
ness is hardly less than destiny,
when the elements so come to-
gether that they select the agent
they will use. Events sometimes
select the strongest man as lightning
goes down the highest rod. And
so it is with those events which for
many months with unerring sight
have led you to a single name which
l am chosen only to pronounce.
Gentleman, | nominate the highest
living type of the youth, the vigor
and the promise of a great country
and a great age, Theodore Roose-
Welt of New York"

STOLEN BY REDS OR WOLVES.
Mystery Surrounds Disappearance Of
Two-Year-Old Girl in South Dakota.

Although scores of horsemen have
for several weeks been securing every
nook and corner in a vast region hear
the own of Sturgis, in the extreme
northwestern part of South Dakota, in
search of Ethel Harrington, the two
year-old daughter of James 7. Harring-
ton, a prominent and wealthy ranch
man, not the slightest trace of the
child can be found.
The theory that she was kidnapped
by Indians, or killed by wolves or lynx
es, is now being worked upon.
At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon of the
day the little girl was last seen, Mrs.
Harrington was obliged to leave home
to notify her husband, who was at
work I've miles away, of some mis-
hap to the stock.
Some time after the mother had
gone, Ethel left the house. The parents
reached home at 5 o'clock. When told
by the other children tina Ethel had
not yet returned, they commenced a
search. Not discovering her they went
to the nearest neighbors for assist
ance
At this time it was growing dark and
the neighbors provided themselves
with lanterns and carried on the
search during the entire night, but

hundred horsemen made a systematic
search of every foot of a wide area.

BLOW TO WILDCAT MINERS.
Commission Is Suggested to Guard lie.
ultimate Concerns.

Black Hills mining people are being
urged to ask the next state legislature
to make an appropriation for a com
mission of three or five w~ell-known
mining men whose duty it will be to
investigate and report on all mining
companies whose stock is on the mar
ket for sale 1t IS suggested that this
commission be on a salary and be CON
stantly on the alert to TURF down or
encourage mining companies in any
part of the Hills; also that a quarterly
report be made by the commission on
all mining properties, and that fines be
imposed upon any members of the
commission who make false reports on
any property. 1t is believed this would
have a tendency to do away with all
wildcat mining of any sort in the Hills
and would greatly help legitimate min.
ing companies.

Municipal Gas Well.

Since the completion of the new gas
wei lat Pierre the supply is estimated
DIT 100000 feet per day. This supply
will be sufficient for all present pur-
poses and will bring the city a good
revenue. The rate at present is 81 per
l 900 feet for the first 5000 feet used
per month, and 80 cents per thousand
for any additional amount, with yet
lower rates for manufacturing pur-
poses. By using the gas for power at
the city pumping station a saving OF
about 5000 per month on fuel fs made.
and that with the sale of gas brings a
evenue which more than pays the
running expenses Of the city. The new
we'll is even better than the one which
has been supplying the city for the
past two years, and on a test threw a

DISPUTE.
Wyoming and South Dakota Seek to
Settle Boundary Dispute.

For many years persons living along
the boundary line between South Da-
kOta and Wyoming have been greatly
annoyed by the difficulty in ascertain
ing which state they We're in. This
will be greatly remedied if the bill that
has recently passed the house of rep
resentatives providing for a new sur
vey of the boundary line becomes a
law. When the survey was first made
it was lot substantially indicated, and
the wooden posts erected have been re-
moved altogether. Under the provi-
sion Of the bill now in congress-, the
boundary will be marked by large mon
uments of stone. Persons making en-
tries upon mineral and other claims
along the boundary have been particu-
larly annoyed for several years owing
to the impossibility of telling which
state they were in without being put to
a great expense.

RICH STRIKE
Made in a New Black Hills Mine
Shaft,

Another new and rich strike was
made in the new shaft in the IvanhOe
mine near Hot Springs. Quite a large
VEN OF very rich ore was discovered
tom Of the shaft.
A party who has just returned from
the May mine on Lightning creek re-
ports a new strike in the works at the
mine. The ore is said to be rich in
gold. some Of which is free. but much
CT il is in the form of tul!eride, which
assays very high.
h Mile High shaft is down 100
feet and drifting has commenced. In
us descent the shaft has cut through
two excellent veins of ore. AS the
SHAFT is sunk perpendicular these veins
lar dip, but will again be tapped bv the
lar dip, but viii again be tapped by the
DRIFT at a greater depth. There seems
TO be a regular belt of good ore pass
ing through this ground, which is a
good feature and adds very much to
the value of the property.
The sale of the interest held by r
M. Maloney in the Blue Lead was con.
summated last week. The deal. which
has been under negotiation for several
months, is at last said to have been
closed, and the purchaser. Alfred G..
Baxter of Lima, Ohio, has returned to
his home. Mr.. Baxter is the general
manager of the Calumet copper mine
which is supposed to be on the same
vein, but located further north. has a
smelter already constructed, and will
during the coming summer treat the ore
from both mines.
General Manager Crabtree and Col
J. A. George were down from Dead
wood on business affecting the interest
of the Gold Fish mine, situated about
three miles north of Custer. 1t is the
intention of the company to put a mil,
on the property in the near future. l,
should be a very profitable move, as
the Gold Fish is known to have yield
ed some of the richest ore ever found
in Custer county.
