ireIand's Great Astronomer.

Ireland's great astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball, has just reached his
sixty-third year. 1t is true that he
has been astronomical professor at
Cambridge for a decade, but he re-
mains a thorough Irishman still.
His career as an astronomer dates
back to 1865, when shortly after
leaving Trinity college, Dublin, lie
was placed in charge Of the famous
private observatory established at
Parsonstown, Kings county, Ire
land. When The possibility of sig
mailing to Mars was under discus
sion he pointed out that if a flag
Of the size of Ireland was waved
from a pole 10 match there was just
the ghost of a chance that an as
Economical Marian might perceive
the ghost Of a hutter on the earth.

Senator Hanna Dead.

Ohio's great Senator Marcus
A Hanna, died at Washington
Monday evening Feby Is, after
a sickness of abuut month.
His age was 67, and he was
on his second term as I. S.
Senator. He began lie as a
clerk IN a grocery store, and by
his indomitable will and energy
pushed himself to all eminence
reached by few men.
Once abused and maligned by
political opponents because ofhis
activity, he has lived to see the
nation, regardless of party, ac-
knowledge his worth as a lead
err of men and affairs.
President Mckinley picked
him out of a successful business
career to engage in politics
Given such a prominent piece
without preparatory service he
was discredited and envied in
Ohio. His first election to the
Senate was a bare scratch, under
charges of frand. His re, election
sixyears later was by the largest
majority ever given to any man
by an Ohio legislature. And SO
he grew the country over.
Mark Hanna was a great
man, and his death is loss to
the nation. The remains will be
buried in Ohio.

Who Were TiieyP

Huromte:-A couple OF fellows
arrived in the city from Miller
Monday afternoon and that
night occupied Il room at the
McWeeny House. Tuesday
morning a pair of trousers were
missing from the hotel and sus-
picion lead to the older one OF
thes two fellows. Marshal
Whorton arrested the fellow at
the depot Tuesday morning but
could not find them, but he did.
however, find a loaded. revolver
on his person which he and Co.
Attorney relieved him of and
turned him loose. The other
stranger is but a mere boy and
after his pal had been set free he
told of having $50 when they
left Miller but when he awakened
Tuesday morning he didnot have
a cent and that he was sure his
pal had it. He told the marshal
he did not wish to have his pal
arrested, as he would get it from
him "down the line I" by telling
him he knew he has "tou ched'
him during the night. The boys
were bound for no place in par
ticular.

The city OF Huron IS in a
turmoil, it's said over the differ,
euces of political factions. AT
this distance, however the diher-
,ence looks to be more personal
than political. HuIon has lost
many opportunities by her divis,
ion. A condition exactly
opposite to this exists at Pierre
where the citizens have JUS
united in q public petition to
Congressman c. H. Burke, ask
ing him to select his own del
egatlon from Hughes county to
the republican state convention.
The men or communities that
get things in this world pull to,
gether, and 'manfully smother
their personal differences. No
enc. man really stands in the
road OF another. The more men
of a community who become
prom nent and the more repre-
sentives at court, the more
favors that community can get.
This is readily illustrated and
corroborated by the experience
Of Ohio and Iowa.

NOW FOR LAND BATTLE.
The Japs Landing Great Forces in Korea and the
Russians are Rushing Troops to the Front.

Iapan's brilliant work on the
water has practically given the
little islaud empire control OF
the sea. 1t is claimed that she
has sunk and disabled eleven
Russian war vessels, and Russia
assisted by blowing up two
more by her own mines. So far
as known the Russians have
sunk only one Jap vessel, a mer-
chant ship.
Japan is now pouring troops
into Korea undisturbed and mo-
billing near the Yalu river, the
dividing line between Korea and
Manchuria.
Russia is slowly gathering d
big army on her frontier, over
5000 miles from her base of sup,

expected between the land forces,

All authorities agree that the
present wa. between the Jap aud
Russ is an out growth Of the
Japanese. China war of seven
years ago. Japan, with her
modern progress, then scarcely
realize by the rest Of the world,
easily won q victory over China.
According to the ethics of war
the pluCFy and also progressive
little ISLAND empire was entitled
to some indemnity and conces-
si0ns from China TO leave the
heather kingdom intact.
Japan demanded Korea and
practical controlTof Manchuria,
chinese provinces. Russia, in
duced other countries to join
her, and japan was forced olay
down her claims and give up the
fruits of victory.
As soon as Japan was COM
palled to eyacuate Manchuria
and Port Arthur, Russia stepped
IN with her troops, practically
took possession of Manchuria,
fortified Port Arthur, and com.
PEELED var. Gus concessions from
defeate China, continuing her
land-g abiding tactics and her
peculiar diplomatic" work,
which in Loss trade would be
called simply plain lying, until
Japan and other powers turned
upon her, and demanded that she
let go her hold upon the Chinese
as promised last October, but
as several well posted statesmen
predicted at the time she did
nothing of the kind In othSr
words her promise was broken.
Then Japan demanded a posi-
tive understanding and insisted
that Russia evacuate Manchuria
and leave Korea as neutral
as originally demanded ofJapan.
After several months of delays
and subterfuges, while Russia
was trying to strengthen her
self in the Orient, she coollynoti
fed Japan that Manchuria was
not at all open to consideration
but that she would divide Korea
with Japan.
Growing tired OF such tactics
Japan finally opened up her
batteries and war is on in earn

outlined above account for the

Next Monday is Washington's
birthday while the day is no
longer regared as a holiday in
the schools, it would be well for
every teacher to devote a little
time in the school on that day,
to the consideration of the life
an character Of the man to
whom we as a nation owe so
much. A few teachers are having
programs prepared for the day.
In the last issue of the South
Dakota Educator there is an
able article from the pen of Mrs.
Min e Croll formerly school
cler OF Holden township, now
a resident Of Miller. The subject
OF the article is "the need Of
more Months OF school iii
the Country" Mrs. Cron pre-
snted a paper on this same sub
ject at the school officers meet
ing last May. The paper was
quite generally discussed and
MANY O. the officers present
expressed themselves as being
in .avor o more than six
months OF school in the country.
That the seed sown then has
borne .ruit is shown by the fact
that this year many of the coun-
try districts are having longer
terms than formerly. There
are however q number Of dis
tricts that could greatly profit
by the advice given by Mrs.
| Crol.
The Superintendent visited
the town school Of ST. Law
rencr last week, and was agree
ably surprised to find an
enrolment OF sixty four pupils
in attendance; this is the lagest
number that has been enrolled
for a number of years. Prof.
Fross and Miss Sedan arework-
ing faithfully to bring the
school up to a high standard of
excellence. However the teach
ers are handicapped by the
amount of work they have to do.
Prof. Fross has a class in book
keeping and a special class or
two composed of pupils behind
the regular course in one or
more branches. Miss Sedan
also has to divide one or two of
her grades. This makes the
work very heavy. 1t wou Id
facilitate matters greatly if A
third teacher could be placed in
the school.
