THINGS EDUCATIONAL.
BY Z. j. QUIGLEY.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

The next eighth grade examination
will occur Friday and Saturday, June
. and 3 at Mitchell, Mt. Vernon and
Ethan beginning at 8 O'Clock a.. IN.
The time for the examination in
each subject is fixed and no one can
gain time nor make up lost time. Or
binary examination paper will be
used. Prof. Brown will conduct the
examination at Mt. Vernon and
Prof. Oathout at Ethan. The papers
viii! be examined here.
The meeting of the county superin-
tendents at Pierre last week was very
interesting and profitable. Almost
every subject connected with their
work was discussed. a committee on
the revision of the course Of study
was appointed, with Instructions TO
report at the December meeting. All
but four of the county superintend-
ents were present. The teachers
and citizens Of Pierre gave the Wis
ltors a pleasant evening boat ride and
served a bountiful lunch on the boat.
Pierre shows the effect of her victory
last fall. Some eight or ten houses
are in process of construction, the
streets are being graded, the S175, 900
government building is going up and
there is a general stir about. which
makes N think OF Mitchell. The
gas wells are very interesting. The

have made so enviable a record in so

atfability, he has won the hearts of
all his subordinates. The superin-

their esteem.
All the blank reports from the
school officers will be sent next week.

she Will never look beautiful. The feelings
Of nervousness, the betogged mind, the
ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, all
result from those disorders peculiar to
women, aud the only way 10 effect their cure
is to strike at the source OF the difficulty.
There is every reason why she should write
some great specialist, one who has made the
diseases OF women a speciality for a third of
a century like DR.. X. V. Pierce, founder of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
OF Buffalo, y. y. Ai correspondence is
held sacredly confidential, and he gives his
advice free and without charge.
During a long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs. without the
use of alcohol, cured ninety-eight per cent.
of such cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put
it up in a form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled.
In many cases DR.. r. V. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will fit the needs and put the
body in healthy condition.
So sure of it is DR.. Pierce, he offers a
reward of $500 for women who cannot be
cured of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, OF Falling of Womb. All he
asks is a fair and reasonable trial of his
means of cure.

SAMOAN CLAIMS HELD UP.
Deadlock in Negotiations OUer
amount Due to Germans.

Washington. March 1.-THE negotiations between
the United States Great Britain and Germany
looking a settlement Of the Samoan indemnity
claims have practically come to a standstin owing
to a wide difference of opinion TO the extent Of
damage sustained by German subjects in the Sa-
moan group as a result Of the joint operations of
the American and British naval forces in 1900 to
suppress q rebellion The question Of the liability
of the United States and Great Britain for the
damages sustained by German plantation owners
was decided by King Oscar of Sweden in favor of
the claimants in 1902 but the arbitrator did not
attempt TO assess individual damages. leaving them
TO be adjusted by negotiation. These negotiations
have dragged along ever since 1902. and the prin-
cpals find themselves no nearer an agreement
than at the beginning The German claims amount
to about $55 900. The British and American nego-
tiators insist that this is excessive. and that
$4,000 is good price for the property destroyed IT
is probable it WILL in the end. be necessary to
appoint a commission to take testimony the
extent Of the actual damage although the small
ness Of the amount involved would seem to make
this an unduly expensive undertaking.
Meanwhile the claimants becoming uneasy,
and bringing pressure to bear on the German
government to secure settlement.
