Not to Close.

According to the Rapid City Journal
the attendance at the state school of
Mines has been so small that the faculty
has come to the conclusion that the ex-
pense Of keeping it up would not be
commensurate TO the benefit that would
accrue, so it has been decided to close it
for the present school year, and after
March 20 the doors Of the institution
will not be opened for the admission of
students. During the session Of the leg
islature just passed moneys for maintain
ing the school were appropriated, and if
the institution is to be run at all it would
seem as though the action taken by the
faculty, or whoever has the say, is an i'll
advised one, and one which will cause
some Inconvenience when the legislators
are again asked to make appropriation
for the maintenance of the institution.
During the past ten or twelve years the
operation of the school has been ofgreat
benefit to the mineral interests of the
Black Hillo, and its works baye done
much to further their development. 1t
would seem from this distance, that an
effort should be made TO keep it open
Lead Call
Referring to the above the Rapid City
Journal of the 10th inst. says There is
a reporter on the Lead Call who had
better employ the services of a good oc.
cnlist, for there is certainly some serious
defect in his eyes. Recently this paper
mentioned that the School Of Mines dor.
mitory would close for this year after
March 20. The reporter or exchange
editor took the article to read that the
School of Mines was to close, and he
wrote quite piece deploring the action
of somebody and urging that something
be done to keep the institution open
There is a good deal of difference be-
tween the school Of Mines" and The
School of Mines dormitory." A half q
dozen dormitories might close, but the
South Dakota School of Mines would
keep right on doing business at the old
stand.

A Lesson for Lawrence.

For the first time in the history of the
state the other Black Hills counties COM
bined against Lawrence county-and
they won out. Heretofore, at state con-
ventions as well as at the legislature,
Lawrence has counseled unity to the
other counties, and after securing their
consent to that proposition have pro-
ceeded to trade the whole bunch Con-
sequently people on this side of the
river have recognized Lawrence county
as the Black Hills. The split arose over
Deadwood's ambition TO confscate Elk
Creek for municipal purposes. The push
came over early in the session and got
their bill through with little opposition.
One member from the Hills was known
to be unfavorable to the measure but
under the weight OF the Lawrence coun-
ty prestige he did not open his mouth.
The house was suspicious of the bill and
passed it by bare majority, against
more than two-thirds vote in the SEN
ate. Later the other Hills counties were
heard from, and finally delegation from
Rapid City appeared upon the ground.
They formulated a bill to amend and
emasculate the bill passed earlier in the
session. This brought the Deadwood
heayy-weights back to the capital, and
for several days the battle ragged fast and
furious The house passed the amend
ment bill by an almost unanimous vote
and the strife was taken to the senate
Senator Cooper speaking for Lawrence
county, made strong fght against the
bill. Mortimer, of Meade, a compar-
atye youngster, and new member,
championed the amendment measure.
Mr.. Cooper had the advantage ofexperi-
ence and the personal confidence of his
fellow senator's, but when the vote was
counted the emasculation bill passed, 50
to 7. Deprived of Mr. Cooper's popular
personality, its support would have been
the two votes from Lawrence county.
The winners in the fight the counties
outside of Lawrence, protest that this is
their declaration ofindependence--their
Bunker Hill but old timers insist that
they will have to be shown.--Aberdeen

Railroad News from Aberdeen.

From an authoritative source it is
learned that it is the plan Of the Milwau-
kee railroad management to build west
from both Evarts and Chamberlain 1t
is stated that the main western line will
be from Eyarts 10 the Black Hills and
from the Hills to Montana, and eventu-
ally to the Pacific coast. A line will also
be built westward from mberlain,
forming a junction with the Evarts line
on the Tongue river in Montana.
An Aberdeen man who is in position
to be in close touch with those in au.
thority in the Milwaukee management
states that he has been personally in
formed that the fact that the Great
Northern is about to build from Sioux
City, to form y connection with the Bur
lington, has awakened the Milwaukee
management to the necessity of at once
securing a western line in order to
maintain the influence of the road in
that section and secure its share of the
trade.
Engineer Raime and crew of seven
men went west to Evarts on Wednesday
for the purpose of surveying a route
west from Eyarts, and it is believed to
be certainty that the Eyarts extension
will be made in pursuance with plans
long considered by the Milwaukee.-A

Relief for Settlers.

letter under date of March 9th, from
Judge Smith to Mr. l. NJ. Donaldson of
this city, indicates that the fence ques-
tion in this part of the forest reserve is
in fair way for satisfactory adjustment
for the present at least. The letter fol-
lows:
WASHINGTON, March Q, 1905.
HoN. /. NJ. Donaldson:
DEAR SIR In the matter of the petit
ton which you have been so much in
tsrested in, would say there was final
conference with Secretary Wilson yes.
terday evening and the petition was
duly fled with him through Mr.. Mar
tin, who was present and who has signi.
fed his belief that this method is the
proper method to pursue for relief.
Secretary Wilson also informs us that
this is the proper procedure, and that
while no doubt ultimate relief will not
be granted until the reconyeniDg Of
Congress, we are assured that the set
tiers on the reserve will not be disturbed
except in cases where large areas above
100 acres are inclosed, and in those cases
it will be discretionary with the Forest
Supervisor as to what shall be done in
the premises. l think the results ac.
complshed very satisfactory, as Mr..
Martin and myself are fully satisfied
that no settler will be disturbed the com
ing season, and this seems to be the
tacit understanding and agreement with
all parties interested So l would ad
wise that all settlers round the reserve
in Custer county proceed as heretofore
to farm and till their soil, and while
there has not been a formal revocation
and resembling of the previous fence or
der, it is agreed and understood that the
matter will simply be held in abeyance
until such time as Congress may grant
the relief prayed for in our petition
And in this / believe Capt Bullock is in
full harmony and sympathy.
Yours very sincerely,
G. T.. SMITH.

We understaad that financially the affair
did not turn out as it was hoped for, but
people have done well according to the
times. An entertainment will be given
at some future date by home talent to
make up the deficiency and If anything
remains from this entertainment, that
will be used toward buying an organ for

st is sometimes said that it is the
function of the preacher to commend
correct principles of conduct, leaving
individuals to apply these principles as
they see fit That is an apology for ig-
norance or cowardice Shall the preach
er take refuge in cloud OF abstract
lions just when his counsel is most

preach morality in the abstract.
1--WE are all thankful that Henry
Ward Beecher was not that kind of a
preacher. He did not try to preach
in such vague terms as to leave men in
doubt about his personal opinion OF
slavery. He was concrete. There was
edge to what he said He meant that
men should understand him. He was
no mere church politician. He was a
preacher in the true sense-a prophet,
crusader. He was robust and manly
His defniteness was the test OF his
sincerity. There was mighty moral
uplift in such preaching. 1t was for
tunate for his fame and for his coun-

ness in general and lodging the real

should know that there is no hope for

when over the real guilty parties
would be stronger than ever. The last
forty years have furnished opportunity
for this state Of things-helped by in

with the same vices and crimes? But

done for thousands of years. We must
make no fundamental change in our
system for then all preaching may be
gone-and the change absorb all OF

microscopes to your eyes-and gaze
out upon the cosmos and harken to the
