EMPLOY ANOTHER TEACHER
Board of Education to Meet Large
Enrolment Decided to In.
crease Teaching Force.

The board of education held a
special meeting Friday evening to
take up some needed business mat
tiers. This early il the school wear
the board is confronted With an
overflow attendance and they found
1T necessary to organize another
room, which will divide up the sew
enth and eighth grades. In Miss
Browns room there are nearly ~
pupils and a portion of them will be
taken out and placed in the new
room The board authorized the
hiring of another teacher to com.
her duties after the close of
the corn palace, by which time the
enrolment in the schools will doubt
less be at its highest point, as many
pupils will enter at that time. The
teacher will be employed for a period
of six months. The enrolment now
numbers 700 students.
The rates of tuition for non-resi.
dent pupils was increased to 81 for
the high school and SIS for the lower
grades. Quite a number of pupils
are heing sent in from the surround
ing districts where the schools have
been suspended as the children can
be educated cheaper in the city
schools.

PIERRE's SHEEP SHED
BY Courtesy Called a Capitol Build
ing Assumes New Impor-
lance.

The Pierre board of trade is print
ing and causing to be printed in a
large number Of newspapers under its
control a three-column article and
cut descriptive Of the estate house"
at Pierre, which some newspapers
have been discourteous enough to
call a "sheep She'd" For some rea-
son, not just apparent to the general
run of readers, the cheap frame
structure at Pierre, doing temporary
duty as a capitol building, has be-
come a living issue with the Pierre
board Of trade. 1t is DOT so very
long ago that circulars were distrib-
uted around Pierre assuring the in
habitants that il the capital re-
mained in that benighted city they
would have the pleasure of seeing a
million dollar capitol building going
up after the first session Of the leg
islature. That there was some
grounds for the expectations that a
new capitol would have to be furn-
ished or erected somewhere is evil
dent from what the Hon. Ben.
Hoover said to the Argus-Leader two
years ago-and you know that Ben.
is thicker with the Pierre push than
three in a bed.
This is what Ben. thinks of the
editice at Pierre that the Pierre
board of trade is spreading three
columns wide all over the state as
being better adapted for a state
house than the new granite building
at Mitchell:
At present there is constant danger
of fire which would do %irreparable
damage to the state. The old capt.
tol building is light frame structure
which would burn up in a few min
utes if you touched a match to it.
1T is tlimsily constructed, cold in
winter and hot in summer, without
ventilation for the legislature or the
supreme court and practically with
out fire protection, besides being as
unattractive TO look at as an old
livery stable before the war.
Editor Mcleod of the Aberdeen
News. who worked so hard for the
resubmission question and who has
since had the life scared out Of him
as to what might happen to his
printing plant if the capital went to
Mitchell, also agrees with the hon.
orable Mr.. Hoover. This is what
the a%crobatic publisher of the News
thinks of the rats nest that Pierre
is %picturing three columns wide as
an architectural poem in clapboards:
And then again, no matter how
the campaign ends, the result will
be some advantage to the state, in
asmuch as it will settle the disturb
ing question for all time and probab-
ly secure some sort of a capitol build
ing in which the records will be safe
from destruction. The public rec
ords of priceless value are stored in
an intlammable frame building that
no power on earth could save from a
fire that had obtained any Roadway.
The Pierre building, with its sin
nards" ripped out would make a very
good skating rink, and it will take
something more than a cheap picture
and a few columns of buncombe to
fool anybody into comparing it with
the magnificent structure at Mitchell
awaiting the coming of the legisla-
tufe and the state officers.

FEELING HAS BEGUN.

The Phenomenal Haul Once Made by
 Captain Saunders Below Essex.
 Spearing for eels has begun all along the river from Essex to the sound, and the condition of the ice is such that it can be persued on the banks of the channel with comparative safety. Some good catches are being made, but nothing like those that were made a quarter of a century ago. In the seven ties, Emelius Saunders, the we'll known fisherman, during a cold snap when the surface of the river was one glade of ice, made phenomenal catch just below Essex in the deep water near Hayden's Point. He found a place where warm spring bubbled up as he found by the temperature of the water, which came up on his spear handle, and in q few hours speared some five hun dred pounds of the eels Deep River Era.

DEMURRER ovERRuLED.

Important Decision in Case Against
 Fraternal Benefit League.
 In the suit brought by Thornton IF. Robinson, of Bridgeport, against the National Fraterna. League, of New Ha- ven, to recover $1, 300 damages for ac- cident insurance which he claims the league owes him, Judge Robinson, of the superior court in that city, has overruled demurrer 10 the complaint which was entered by the defendant The motion is quite an important one It was argued by Carl Foster for MT. Robinson and by R. IT. Tyner for the insurance league
 The demurrer set up that it does not appear from the complaint that the de- fendant company had refused to arbi- trate MT. Robinson's claim against 1t, nor that he had ever requested 1t in writing to do so. This was alleged to be in violation of the conditions of the insurance contract, which state that, in case of a disagreement between the claimant and the insurance league, the matter shall be determined by arbitra- ton.
 Judge Robinson states that it ap- pears from the complaint that there is no disagreement as to the mere amount payable under the contract of insurance, but that the insurer de- nies any liability whatever to the plaintiff.
 If the plaintiff must be compelled to submit this whole matter to arbi- tration under that clause, the courts would be busted of their Jurisdiction in the case.
 'The defendant, by it's denial of lia- bility, has waived it's right to Insist upon this arbitration clause in the cons tract"

soLITARY L1FE PREFERRED.


 An investigation has been made of the condition of an old man, named Pons, in Harwinton, by Secretary Mil Ter of the Humane society.
 Mr. Miller visited the man a few days ago and found him living in one room outbuilding rather than with his son, physician in Roxbury, or with other relatives. The man is seventy eight years old. Although he had the choice of the large comfortable house on the place the man preferred the small building. Complaint had been made that the man was starving, but he informed his visitor that he had plenty to eat and did his own cooking. He has cat for companion, and said that in the summer he passed a part of his time feeding and watching a black snake He had not seen the snake for several weeks, but thought 1t had gone into winter quarters in it's home under the building. MT. Miller asked the man If he had all he want ed. He replied that if he did not he could ask. for it as he could speak in seven languages. He said that he pre- ferred to live on the farm alone on supplies sent by relatives than with them. His son owns the farm Hart ford Times.
