WILL Not PREVENT
LAYING OF MAINS
Temporary Injunction Granted
Private Company Greatly
Modified.
JUDGE CARLAND's ORDER
Order Grants Practically All That tho
Municipal! Company Desired and
Will Enable II to Complete the
Work by Early Spring.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 20.-The
Terms of the temporary injunction
which, was granted by Judge Garland,
of the United States court, in the cGee
tnstituNd by the private water COM
Epany to prevent the construction of a
municipal system OF waterworks in this
city, have been greatly modified bS
Judge Garland.
He will, instead of stopping all work
on the municipal system, permit several
blocks Of mains, now arranged for, tc
be put In, together with fire MIGRANTS.
By the terms of the modified temporary
Injunction the pumping engine which
already has been shipped by the manu-
facturers may be Installed in the new
building prepared for it, and the build
ing completed.
Judge Garland further permits the
city to pay the contractors for work al
ready done inc allowed to be done, ac-
cordhng to the terms of the contracts,
but before payment is made the eSti-
mates shall be presented to hin and al
lowed by him and an order made di-
.recting that payment be made.
The modified order grants practically
all that the city desired, and Will en-
able it to complete the municipal plant.
The contract with the private water
company terminates April 9 next, but
the question of whether or not the city
can tnen operate the municipal plant
and force the water to aban-
don h local field has not yet been de-
termined, and may not be for som
little time.
In accepting the offer of the water
company when applying for the grant
ing Of the temporary injunction Judge
Garland has carefully safeguarded the
interests of the city. The water COM
pany, in accordance with it's offer, has
been required by Judge Garland tt fur
,nish a bond in the II of 100000 to
indemnity the city against any loss
which a result from the granting OF
the temporary injunction.
1t the water company, as the result
of the present litigation. should defeat
the city, it will be required. to purchase
the municipal waterworks plant at cost.
Thus through the wisdom of Judge
Garland the city cannot possibly lose a
single dollar if it is defeated in the

Luverne, Mimi, Jan. l6.-As a result
pr disclosures made by various persons
IN the form of afidavits, County At

brother in getting the necessary $40,
and that he saw Austin pay the money
to Clegg.

at that time she knew that he had been

Thompson of Dakota county-but he
said he had securedSa divorce. Mr..
Bake and wife No. 2 made their home
IN kenyon and acquired some property.
IA month or SO ago she was dislnayed

the allegations in the complaint were
correct and granted wife No. Pa di-

Anna Caroline Erickson, gave her the
custody OF her children, declared the
children to be legitimate in law, and al
so gave her one-half interest in the

FOR SUMNER SESSION.
Preparations Are Being Made, Many
Inquiries BEING Made.

Nermillion, s.. D., Jan. 2O.-Prepara-
tons are going steadily forward for
the summer session Of six weeks at the
State university, and there is no doubt
but that twill be a success. Inquir1
les from all parts of the state are com
ing in and. the faculty members feel
greatly encouraged. The outline od
study is complete and it Is very evident
that few summer schools in the north
west next u1nm will outstrip the
". S. D. in the higher educational OPP
portunities offered.
How much the establishment OF a
sunme school of six weeks duration
may mean to the less favored young
people of the state can hardly be APP
preciated by those who have lived all
their lives within reach of high school
and college privileges. To those who
regard a full college course as one of
the common phases OF preparation for
life. a six weeks course seems too
trtf1ing for consideration. But this same
brief session may become one Of the
most important features Of the univer-
sity's work.
The necessity of earning q living
Keeps many young men and women Of
South Dakota at work most Of the
year, although they have leisure in the
summer for other pursuits. To such
young people the opening of a school
W4lSlS llGy Gail DG UTUGT the 1IlSITUCl1Ol
of the university faculty, even for a
brief six weeks will be an opportunity.
But the young people are not the
only ones who will profit. One of the
crying needs OF South Dakota at pres
ent Is for more and better teachers.
h is not SO apparent in the older
and weather counties. But there are
counties in the state where superin-
~tendents, because living wages cannot
be offered good teachers, have been
obliged either TO violate the law by
permitting those to teach who were l1il-
der the required age and ability, or else
to close the schools for lack of teach
zers. 1t is scarcely to be wondered at
If the superintendent IN their extrem-
1ty have at times been over lenient in
the matter of requirements and have
accepted girls of IA, or older ones, whd
could not get a certificate. as tenpor-
airy substitutes for good teachers.
Whether his leniency has beer justi1
fed or not, 1t has helped to keep the
standard of South Dakota schools lower
than it should be.
But with the establishing Of a SUM
mer school at the university, whose
duration is short and whose fees are
moderate, a great Improvement in the
equipment of the teachers OF the state
ought to be felt, and better teaching
means better education for the men
and women of tomorrow.
The summer school will open June %
and end July so. The county institute
will be in session during the first three
weeks.
