London, May 24.-The Toxic CORE

that the railway to Vladivostok has
been severed, as the result of which
the fortress is isolated.
1t Is not known just how far from
vladivostok the railroad to Hardin was
severed nor by what army of the Japa-
nese forces the act was accomplished.
According to recent rumors the Sixth
Japanese army, under command OF
General Hasegawa, was the force Sc.
lected to isolate and invest the last
Russian fortress on the Pacific.
The Japanese army has been rein
forced and it's strength is now equal
to that prior to the battle of Mukden.
Railway communication between Dalny
and Mukden has been restored.
Correspondents in st. Petersburg

that there is a general expectance of
important fighting.
According to rumor from Toxic,
Rojestyensky's feet has now gained

SUPERINTENDENT
Of the Counties of the State Hold
Meeting at Pierre.

Last week III response TO call issued
by State Superintendent Nash fifty out
of total of fifty three county superin-
tendents of South Dakota answered roll
call in the senate chamber at Pierre on
May Is. This was certainly a good
representa- ton and shows that all are
taking an active interest in the duties
of the Office TO which they We're elected
by the people. Many of the superin-
teudents are serving their first terms,
aud, of course, these gave close atten-
ton to the proceedings.
After the meeting was called TO order
ex-State Superintendent Crane was
introduced, but, owing to his extreme
modesty, could not be induced to make
speech.
Superintendent Nash briefly outlined
the things he hoped to accomplish by
the meeting, aud then took up the work
in detail
Quite thorough discussion. of the
recent changes ia the school laws was
mad, and all present now have better
conception of the enactments OF the
last Legislature and of the school laws
laws generally.
One of the chief objects OF the meet
ing was to establish a uniformity OF the
reports, and it Is difficult to see how any
uniformity could be attained without a
conference OF the county superintend
ents OF the state The convention spent
some time iii close study OF this propo-
sitlon
Another matter OF vast Importance TO
the schools OF the state that came up at
this meeting We're many proposed
changes III the course OF study These
proposed changes were discussed quite
thoroughly in the general convention.
A committee consisting of Superintend-
ents O. II. Lugg, q. I. King, E. f..
Krneger, Miss Glenn, Miss Lewis, L. s.
Dubois and w. +. Eddy which was
appointed to prepare a list of the pro-
posed changes, submitted the following
report:
THAT South Dakota history be given
the last half of history work OF the
eighth year.
That the course OF study be expanded
to the equivalent of eight years Of eight
months each.
THAT the outlines of the subjects OF
arithmetic, geography, history and CIV
les be rationahzed to admit the addition
of scientific agriculture in the course of
study.
"That the language work of the sixth
grade be simplified and made less tech
nical"
The convention accepted this report
and it will come mp at the next meet
| ing Of the superintendent for fina
action, allowing time for discussion ane
consideration.

The sleepy City of Philadelphia
has become aroused at last. The
city council voted away the rights of
the people and of three or four gen
erations yet unborn. The deal was
all closed with the exception of the
mayors approval and signature
when the people woke up and real
lied how they were being "done. F"
The mayor is with the people and
will veto the act 1t now remains
to be seen whether the people are
strong enough to bring pressure suf
ficient upon the council to save the
passage over the mayors veto. The
rule and ruin gang claim that they
have the votes secured and that the
fight the people are making will be
vain. From present appearances it
would seem the remark made by
Rev. DIR. Charles HI. Parkhurst, "In
the race for rottenness, Philadelphia
will win, with New York close
second, lis true.

Chicago May 24.-All prospects OF
peace in the teamstexs' strike have
disappeared and it will be open war
from this on. The last conference
looking toward a peaceful adjustment
was held at 6 o'clock Tuesday night
between James B. Barry, business
agent of the Express Drivers union,
and the local managers of the seven
express companies. Business Agent
Barry opened the negotiations by say
ing:
Our position is this: | want all the
men reinstated except those VINO nave
been guilty of violence. ] cannot do
anything different That is what the
local union wants and that is what the
local officers have told me to demand.
That is all | can do. The men told
me that they all want to 80 back in a
body or they won't go back at all.
That is the position Of the union and
the union officials
The reply of the representatives OF
the express companies was brief. 1t
was: "Our proposition to the rein
statement of the men will be the same
four years from now as it is today.
We will not take them back under
any circumstances"
This brought the conference to a
close.

Minnesota's new game law is a
good thing for the state in many
ways. First it protects the game,
second, it provides for state game
warden with sufficient number Of
deputies to see that the law is prop
erly enforced and offenders are
brought to justice and pays these
wardens fees commensurate with the
duties they are to perform, the pen
alties are heavy and the justices ate
in the habit Of giving the maximum,
the game captured is sold to the res
taurants and hotels for neat sum
the state having recently sold l,2O0
birds for $500. In South Dakota
the game wardens are all local and
are dependent upon the boards q
county commissioners for their sal
aries. Some of these county boards
seem to take about as much interest
| in the protection Of the game Of ths
state as they do in the Atlantic cable
This is evidenced by the fact tina
they invariably refuse TO allow th'
bills Of tho wardens. The result j
that the wardens receiving no com
pensation SOON lose interest, AM

unpfotected. Give o. Tho Minnesot

DON'T KNOCK.
st. Paul Clergyman Tells a Con-
gregation of Flen What
Constitutes Honesty.

st. Paul Pioneer Press 6, The
Honest Man" was the subject of the
first of series of sermons upon Men
delivered last night by Rev. E. L.
Madeira at Christ church "We use
the word honest tonight in its tull
! significance, said Rev Madeira
| Ordinarily when we speak of an hon
est man we mean one who il not thief
or knave; 50 that to say that man is
honest IS to denounce him as among the
most contemplate of men. But in its
| broadest sense, an honest man is one
who is true in all his obligations, rem
dering to everybody his dues, his money
dues, his dues for reputation, his dues
in every circumstance and relationship
of life.
" Tribute to whom tribute is due, ;
summarizes the whole thing. This ad-
dressed to the taxpayer calls his atten-
tion to what he owes the government
| under which he lives. 1t tells him that
to evade that obligation is not honest
that to list half of his property and set
it down at half its value, Withholding
tribute where tributes due, is not hon
est
1T says Custom to whom custom is
due. The man who brings over from
foreign country that which is duti-
able and smuggles it through by some
trick of hiding may have done a smart
thing but not an honest thing.
1t says Honor to whom honor is
due that man who reviles an
honorable official seeking to break down
his reputation simply because he does
not belong to the same political party
or any fellowman because he is envious
of him or has some personal grudge
against him, is not honest.
a" Time is money so that one who
rohs another of time which is bought is
dishonest. The employe who gives but
half way and careless service, loafing
on his employer S time, is stealing
money from him, end is dishonest.
"We should always be careful not TO
rob man of bis good character. That
is the dearest thing he possesses. To
rob man of his reputation is the most
| inexcusable of all forms of robbery, for
it brings the robber no enrichment.
Don be knocker The world
is too full of knockers-men who seem
to hunt around like scavengers in a gar
bage barrel. They may really have no
cause for knocking, but they must do
it. ! believe God hates kpocker. The

ought to be put out of business by hon
