The Morning Session.

"a session was held Friday morn
ing at il O'Clock and the attendance
was very small. Hon. NJ. F.
Greeley gave an interesting talk on
growing potatoes. He believed the
soil In this section is especially
adapted to potato growing. The
way to make money at potatoe rails
ing is to grow them every year.
Colorado, he said, raises millions Of
bushels of potatoes and get their seed
from northern staJes and they find
the seed from South Dakota is the
best Experiments carried on in the
show that SO per cent larger
crops are grown by using northern
seed and the potatoes are sweeter.

does the larger viii be the sum paid
the city.
Last year the Mitchell Gas Co. was
given a franchise to occupy the
streets and alleys of the city without
any recompense other than a small
donation Of gas to the extent Of 800.
The city OF Mitchell is entitled to
some recolnpense from the company
for the electric light franchise, and
whatever it is going to be should
be determined before giving it the
new franchise. -Four years from now
the company may be in the hlnds
of other people and II the council
waited until that time there is no
way of determining Just what the
city will receive. The council will
be looking after the interests of the
city and the citizens by settling the
matter of recompense now rather
than wait four years. The Mitchell
Gas Co. ought to be willing to sat-
isfy the city council at this time if
it is so anxious TO secure the new
twenty year franchise. 1t is a ma
ter Of business to it and is also at
matter Of business TO tie CITY.
Every party interested in the situa-
ton is here TODAY, and four years
hence the complexion of the council
will be changed, and others might be
in control of the electric light plant.

We often hear people say that
children do not like to study these
subjects We will give an instance:
In New York where the children Of
the slums would not 90 to the
schools, it was decided to teach
sewing, cooking. carpente1ine and
the like In the schools and in a short
time 10000 Of these children were
in the schools.
The object of the public schools
seems to be to take the pupils a step
nearer the university but not nearer
life. In our schools 81 per cent only
stay for five years and the whole sys-
tenn is for the benefit OF the other Ii
per cent. The system should be
changed, for our common schools
should be for the benefit OF the great
common people.
At the close OF Mrs. Laws address
Mr.. Greeley gave a sho.t talk in
which he made It plain to see how
heavily our Interests lean on agri-
culture; the wealth Of the city and
country depend on it. The forests
can be cut down and the mines ex-
hausted but the farms, never; SO
when you lift agriculture you lift all.
He said, out here In South Dakota.

you make a country you make men

the men who live in the country and
own their own. homes.

CITY SHOULD PROFIT BY IT
Before the New Electric Light Fran.
chise is Adopted New Con-
tract Should Be Made.

The request of the Mitchell Gas
Co. for Il new twenty year franchise
for the operation of its electric light
plant is arousinp considerable discus
sion among the citizens. There is no
particular objection to the extension
of the franchise, which is not exclu-
sive. but the opinion is very strong
that the franchise should not lie
granted until there is a new contract
made for lights to be ..ln force after
the expiration of the present CON
tract.
From the statement made bye. C..
King, the practical owner:.of the two
plants, gas and electric, he desires
TO secure the passage Of the present
ordinance to extend the electric fran
chise for a period Of twenty years.

to know absolutely what the COM

In order to make a recon pense for
occupying the streets and alleys Of
the city of Mitchell. That Tie city
is entitled to some recompense along
this line there is not the slightest
question. This point is aptly dem

granted several years ago to the.local

WILL DEPOSE SHEA
international Executive Board Said to
Have Agreed to Remove Him as
Head Of the Teamsters' Union-No
Appeal From Committees Action.

Chicago, June 27.-The Post says:
Formal removal Of International Pres
ident Shea, of the Brotherhood of
Transfers, has been decided upon by
the international executive board. The
anti Shea leaders in the committee
practically have voted to depose the
leaders. A trial" has been held and
Shea has been found guilty of violat-
ing the constitution and bylaws of the
organization. There is no appeal from
the action of the committee.
For weeks the international board
has been opposed to Shea and his
methods. The fear that the move to
depose the leader would make him
martyr" among the rank and file
and insure his reelection as president
caused the members Of the board to
postpone their action. Last night the
uneGuivocal vote of the department
store and express wagon drivers
against accepting the latest settlement
of the offers Of the employers and the
palpable return to power OF Shea, so
far as the rank ard tile OF teamsters
is concerned, determined the board to
act. The specific charge against Pres
ident Shea is calling a strike contrary
to the constitution and making expen-
ditures of the brotherhood's money
contrary to the terms of the constitu-
ton. The board of members do not
charge Shea with dishonesty in hand
ling union funds, simply that his
orders brought about expenditures
that had to be made on account of
calling a strike illegally.

claims Hostile Intentions.

Berlin, June 27.-The German an
swer to the French note on the sub
ject of the proposed Moroccan confer
ence was sent to Paris yesterday.
High officials near Chancellor Won
Buelow inform the Associated Press
the German note, while perfectly am
icable, in form, insists upon the con-
ference and also declines to comply
with Frances request that Germany
outline beforehand the program of the
conference.
The chancellor takes the standpoint
that the Moroccan question is an in
ternational affair and that Germany
having accepted the sultan's invitation
to conference on the subject cannot
rightly agree with any single power as
to what can be discussed at the con-
ference. Germany insists France must
agree to the conference before any ar
rangements are made respecting the
subject matter for discussion. After
France has agreed to this Germany is
willing to listen to Frances wishes.
The officials attention being. called
to the warlike talk In the foreign press
he replied:
"The fact that we are urging the
conference is clear proof we have no
wish for war with France. When q
nation wants war. it cannot ask for a
conference at the same time"
Paris, June 27.-Prince Won Radolin
called at the foreign office this after
noon and delivered the German reply
to NJ. Rouvier A long conversation
followed Temps this afternoon print
ed a special despatch from Berlin
which credits President Roosevelt with
using his influence to avoid the Mo-
rocan question reaching a crisis. Sim
liar reports are circulating in diplo-
matte quarters here.

PATTISON IN LEAD
Democratic Campaign Managers are
Busy Preparing for the State Con-.
vention-Pattison Apparently Leads
For GubernatoriaI Nomination.

Columbus, Ohio, June 27.-lt was
still Pattison against the field on the
first day of the democratic state con-
yention, but the, quiet work of the
campaign managers for the various
candidates was lining up delegates so
that indications today were that by
nj; .htfall a fairly accurate prediction
of the strength would be possible. OF
yesterdays arrivals nearly all were
candidates or their lieutenants, but to-
days trains brought delegations of the
rank and file from all parts Of the
state. The work blocked out for today
was entirely preliminary, the first ses-
sion of the convention being set for to-
morrow. There are really only two
contests, that for governor and one for
supreme judge, SO one session may
suffice to clear up all the work. Plat
form talk continues and al the present
time state issues seem likely to take
the chief place in the resolutions. One
or two national questions, antitrust
and anti-railroad rebates may be
mentioned.

Injury of John Robinson, an Old and

Special to Times-Republican.
Reinzeck, June 27.-An accident that
will probably cost the life Of "Uncle"
John Robinson, one of the Oldest and
most respected citizens of Reinbeck.
occurred here shortly after noon today.
A team belonging to the Reinbeck
Hardware company became frightened
and dashed down the street. At that
time Mr.. Robinson was standing in
front of the H w. Avery store. He is
quite aged and did not notice the ap-
proach of the team. Just as the team
got nearly opposite the Avery store
they swerved to one side and dashed
upon the walk and against the old man
before he was aware of his danger.
The front of the store was wrecked
and Mr.. Robinson was found crushed
and bleeding beneath the frightened
and struggling team. He was extri-
Gated and hastily conveyed to ply
sician's office, where. it was found his
skull had been fractured and he was
otherwise injured. Up to late hour
this afternoon he had not regained
consciousness and there is no hope for
his recovery Mr.. Robinson was an old
citizen here and had been in business
in Reinbeck for many years. His eye
sight has been growing dim and that
is probably the reason he was unaware
of his danger. He was father-in-iaW to
Mr.. Avery. front of whose store he
was standing when the accident hap

KILLED BY INDIANS
Yaauis Who Have Been Raidins Along
the An Miguel River Massacre
Dozen Women and chiIdren-Battle
Fought at a Ranch.

Tuscon, Ariz., June 27-At least
twelve ranchers and several women
and children have met death at the
hands of band of hundred Yaqui
Indians who have been raiding the
country along San Miguel river In the
district of Sonora, and a party, COM
posed largely Of American mining men,,
has gone out from Pozo station to res
cue the unfortunates who are in dam
ger of being massacred. Five Yaquis,
believed to have been implicated in the
massacre, have been hanged.
DR. Frank j. Toissant, who has re-
turned from Ures brought the news Of
the trouble which began last Friday.
After several families had been mur-
dered by the Indians, the ranchers
made a determined stand at Buenos
Ayres ranch where, aided by about
thirty employees, they succeeded In re-
pulsing the Indians. although several
ranchers died from wounds received in
the fight. The besieged Mexicans took
refuge in the ranch house and fought
from the windows and roof. 1t is
thought fully twenty Indians were
killed. although the number can be on
ly estimated as the savages carried off
the dead and wounded when they re-
tired. An armed force stationed at
Ures has been sent to the scene Of
the outrages.
