REVENUE FROM LANDS
Much Cash Is Derived for State lnsti.
tutions from Endowment
Grants.

Pierre, s. D.. Oct. l~5.-lfnder The ct
1cient management of State Land
Commissioner Bach the endowment
funds to the different state institutions
secured from the land grants held by
the state are beginning to reach Il point
where they are quite an item in the
running expenses. and with proper
handling and announcement the
amounts which these grants pay to the
institutions will increase every year,
and begin to show the wisdom of the
land appropriation in the decrease in
Legislative appropriations. The endow-
ment lands have paid revenues for the
first ten months in 1904 amounting to
$29,1S6.09. OF this the agricultural col
lege lands paid the largest amount Of
giving to that institution $10.-
303.49.
The cash paid to the different state
institutions since January / last was:
State university, $i,152.S4: agricultural
college, Si0.3o3.49. deaf and iumb
school, $1,S5o.1S; reform school. ST.
1869: Madison normal. Sl.654.0T;
Spearfsh normal. $1.654.0S; northern
hospital. S1.14S.2S; school of mines.
S1.044.44; Aberdeen normal. S2.39I.05;
asylum for the blind. $"79I.25: Spring.
from the endowment lands increase ev-
cry year. and as the government lands
i'm the state become more and more re-
Stricted in their area, the state lands
become more sought after. and this
will increase the revenues of the diff
ferent institutions from his time on,
and it will not be many years until the
lands will bear the greater part of the
burden of supporting them.

"oescuRE PRESIDENTS.
II Is Hard to Pick Out Any That Were
Really Such When Nominated.

Providence Journal: Polk was the
first dark horse" to be chosen; but
neither Hayes nor Benjamin Harrison
can fairly be regarded as having won a
nomination by any conspicuous acts of
craftsmanship.
Doubtless Pierce's reputation has
suffered by the disputes over slavery
which did so much to wreck his ad-
ministration. Yet even so. he WAS n
candidate for denomination and re-
ceived l22 votes to Buchanan's 1S5
votes on the first ballot in the demo-
cratic convention of 1856. His nominal
tion our years earlier had been Very
we'll received-much better than that OF
his opponent. General scott
Pierce had entered politics within
years after his admission To the
bar. had served in the New Hampshire
legislature, had been sent to congress
at the age of t~wenty-nine and at
thirty-three had been chosen United
states senator. being then the youngest
members of hat body. R%esigning his
seat after five years. he returned To
the practice of law. But he certainly
did not relapse into obscurity, for in
the interval between 1912 and 1856 he
had declined Il nomination for gov
ernor of New Hampshire. had refuscd
an appointment 10 the senate and the
offer of a place in Polk cabinet as at
torney general. and had won consider
able military reputation as a b%rigadiei
general in the Mexican war.
Hayes was unQueStionably less wei
known han Pierce when he was NOM
mated to the presidency. He had beer
in congress two years and he had -:
good war record; but at the time of his
nomination he was governor of Ohio
and he was no more prominent nation
ally than a dozen governors OF state:

Benjamin Harrison. too. was by NJ
means one of the most eminent publ,
men at the time of his nomination
His name was In his favor. and tn,
car~icaturists OF the day represented
him as almost hidden under grand
fathers hat" He. too, had seen ser
vice in the war, had been in both house

DISCOVERY OF CONDENSED MILK
Experiments That Brought It About

Experiments That Brought II About
Were Made by a Woman.
Louisville Herald: "IIow and when

d. NJ. Miedell. We'll. that is an easy
question. known to all vendors of the
article.
1T CHANGED hat in 1854 the journey
from New Orleans to New York was a
considerable trip. a certain lady-Mrs.
Albert Cashinsor-aad a sick baby, and
on account of that condensed milk WAS
discovered. Mrs. Cashingor's baby
was so i'll that she reHlized that it
would be necessary to make a trip to
New York to receive expert medical
attention if she hoped to save the
child's life. But to travel that long
distance the child had to have milk.
Milk wouldn't keep fresh more thai a
few hours. SO there she was. kept
back from making the trip merely be-
cause she could lot supply the child
With fresh milk.
In her despair she began to expert
ment to see if she could not preserve
milk The same as she did jelly o. any
thing else. She tried several different
methods. and finally hit upon a plan
which seemed TO give satisfaction. Sc
she preserved several big jars of the
stuff. put it upon a sailing vessel and
made the trip. The child fed upon the
milk and was noufished. In New York
several mel learned of her discovery
They tried to make some of the con-
densed milk in the name that She
had told them. but failed. They fol-
lowed her to New Orleans. and there
she unwittinsly unfolded her valuable
secret. On the island of Galveston
these men started Il small factory, AND
tharn tho fret CrIa hIa rnndancnI ,,iIl
was made. The woman died poor. The
manufacturers made a fortune. Nov
