South Dakota's commercial am
bitions have not blinded her to the
value and interests considered by
some OF less material, but to the
minds Of many not so large as those
pertaining to mental growth and
development. South Dakota has
gained a worldwide reputation for
her educational facilities as we'll
as agricultural and commercial
pursuits. The schools occupy and
merit place in the public eye sell
dom accorded to them in any coun-
try. A keen interest is manifested
in whatever affects their welfare.
Residents of the state are not COM
PEELED to send their children east
to be educated. Excellent schools
in all branches of learning are
within few hours ride of the res
ident or homesceker. The federal
government has wisely provided
for the public schools of South Da-
kota by setting aside 7,l5o, 48o
acres of land which cannot be sold
for less than $40 per acre. Th, So
lands are growing in value and at
present pr ces could be sold for a
sum in the neighborhood of $780,
900, 900. The interest on this
large sum alone would defray the
entire expenses of public and pri-
vate schools iof the state. The
item Of school tax alone in some
states is quite an item of expense,
and homeseeker should not over
look these advantages offered when
selecting permanent home. The
government contributes $40, 1000
yearly for the support Of the state
agricultural college, which is also
a United States government exper-
iment station. Investig ations and
!, experiments in the science Of agri-
culture have been made here that
baye attracted the attention Of the
scientific world Of modern farming.
This college will gladly furnish
homeseekers reliable information
in regard to successful farming,
dairying, stock raising and horti.
culture ID South Dakota.
The following endowments have

lie school endowment.

A Menacs to Travel.

Much complaint has reached

SAD SCENE WHEN JACK CAHILL
IS SENT TO PRISON


upon Lawrence, Cahill, Burns,
and Shea Monday morning last.
In the order named they re-
ceived fourteen wears, one year,
ten Years, and ten years respec-
lively.
Lawrence was the first of the
quartette to feel the haud Of The
law and it fell heavily upon
him. At 10 O'Clock a. m. i'll the
presence of Il crowded court
room, he stood I'D and listened
10 the words that subtractcd
fourteen years from his life as
freeman and which made of him
a convict Fourteen years is a
long time to spend behind The
walls of a prison, but this man
Lawrence seems deserving of its
every minute. He stood the or
deal in his EaracteriS tic man
ner and whatever emotion he
may have felt WAS unnoticeablc
The time for passing sentence
upon Iohn Cahill had arrived
Silence lurked III every corner of
the uftroom the defendant
blushed deeply and was visibIy
affected After the usual pre-
liminarieS, the Court asked the
defendant II he could show any
legal cause why sentence should
not be passed upon him.
At this pofrt his attorney,
Judge Jones, arose and addressed
the Court He had known his
client for years, had watched
him grow from baby INTO
manhood. Judge Joues had been
his neighbor. He vas acquaint-
ed with che family and an aged
ather and mother needed this
vorng mans assistance. 1t vas
his first crime SAID the attorney,
and he pleaded eloquently for
clemency.
Judge Curler then addressed
the prisoner. A lump was in His
Honor's throat and at times it
was hard for him to speak. His
words to the prisoner inn
pressed those present very per-
ceptibly and the eyes of many
were dimmed with tears.
The occasion was indeed mourn
ful and it seemed as if the very
atmosphere were lending sorrow
10 the scene. There before his
honor sat a young man, stal-
wart of frame and fair of face,
a Young man who, in his en-
trance into the sterner groove of
life, had made a mis- take, a mis-
take for which jury oi his peers
had found 1t necessary to chastise
him. One could paint in his mind
a picture of CahilI's poor old
mother with her aged form bent
over a Washtub, her rough and
wrinkled hands still actively
engaged in helping to support
a large family. And there was
his father, whose life had been
spent IN the mines, rapidly deS-
cending the path that leads to
eternity. He had grown too old
to labor, and we fancied we
could hear him as he brushed a
teal from his good WIie's eve
and told her that Jack would
soon be home to help her"
But the law must have
its course. "Jack' will be
absent from home for a year

GOVERNOR WANTS
To STOP LYNCHING
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
is MADE BY HEYWARD OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.

Governor Hayward Thinks That the
Governor Is Not Invested with
Sufficient Power to Deal EHectu-
ally With the Bynching Evil in
His Stnte-He Asks for Legislation
That May Enable Him to Take
Steps to Suppress LawIessness.
Columbia, S. c.. Jan. 20.-In his an
nual message to the General Assembly
of South Carolina, Gov. Hayward
called attention to the frequent occur
renee of lynchings in this state.
The Legislature had been in session
only a few days when lynching oc-
CURED at Reevesville, Dorchester
county. Gov. Hayward to-day sent
the following message to the General
Assembly recommending the enact
ment Of special legislation in reference
to lynching:
I'm my annual message to your hon
orable body reference was made. to
lawlessness in our state, the frequent
occurrence OF lynchings being dealt
with particularly. The necessity of re-
spect being paid to the law in civil
lized communities was urged in this
connection. You, the law makers,
had not been assembled here a week
when another evidence of this lawless
spirit is given in the lynching at
| ReeVesVille.
1.-The Governor, practically credited
with the power to prevent or punish
inc he tot in
reality is practically powerless. When
notified, he may sometimes Illustrate
the mob by the employment of troops,
| but when the crime has been commit
| ted, his hands are practically tied
| The meagre rewards he has been en-
| powered to offer out of his contingent
fund have proven Intellectual and this
| is as far as he is permitted to go.
I'm the meantime the spirit of law
| lessness is unchecked. Any band of
| lawless men may feel safe in taking
| the life of a fellow being on almost
any pretext This deplorable con-
| dition ought to be remedied.
ITO compel greater respect, the prop
er respect, for the majesty of law, l
recommend the enactment of special
legislation in reference to lynching, that
the great responsibility of officials di-
rectly charged with enforcing the law
| be brought home to them, and that
more effectual measures be taken for
| the apprehension of persons who take
| the law into their own hands.
I'm lieu of some such legislation 1 sug-
| gest that the Governor be provided
with an adequate fund for the pur-
pose of suppressing lynching; a fund
! that may be used in offering suitable
rewards or in obtaining evidence
| against lynchers in such manner as
may be deemed best
II sincerely regret the necessity for
| this, and am not DESTROYS of additional
responsibilities, but 1 will not shirk
| any duty that the General Assembly
may see fit to impose for the welfare
and good name of South Carolina"
The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-21
Russia's Answer Delayed.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 20.-The first ex-
change of views between the Foreign
Office, Viceroy Alexieff and Baron De-
Rosen, the Russian minister to Japan,
on the Japanese treaty has not result
ed in a definite decision. Consequent
ly, Russia's answer probably will be
delayed little longer than antici-
pated.
At the Foreign ONCE it was explain
ed in a general and unofficial way
with reference to foreign settlements
at the open Manchurian ports that no
reservation was made in the recogni-
ton of acquired treaty rights, but in
asmuch as the Russian military and
civil authorities are now exercising
Joint control with China, Russia nat
urally must be consulted on questions
rising out of consular representation
including settlements.
A high official informed the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that the
anti-American irritation in certain
government quarters here is due to the
conviction that Japan's aggressiveness
is largely the result Of the American
attitude. which, he added, presumably
is based on fear that the Manchurian
treaties will not be respected, although
the official insisted the United
States were informed months ago that
Russia would recognize them.
