The Proposed Construction of Black

Spectators and Settlers.

Oacoma 5. D.. April 2l.-Spurrcd OF,
by the hope of getting a farm near the
line of the proposed extension of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road, thousands ot he ecker are
pouring into the western half of South
Dakota. The country east and west
of here is dotted every day with teams
drawing loads of men who are anxious
to get a piece OF land in the great
plain district. At present there are
from fifteen to twenty filings every day
at the land Office at Chamberlain. but
settlers are coming so rapidly that
this figure will be greatly increased in
a few days. For several months the
rate of filings has been averaging three
and four hundred per day. Hack lines
between this place and Chamberlain,
the end of the railroad. are making
small fortunes for their owners haul
ing passengers across the country for
five cents per mile. All the hotels here
and at Chamberlain have been so
crowded that extra room has been i'm

has this part of the state known such
an influx of strangers. 1t seems Ger
tain that this year will see Lyman

MANY CHANGES ARE MADE
The Last Legislature Devised Approved
Plans and Methods, and the Con-
vention Will Consider Them
New Course of Study.

Canton. s. D., April 22.-Professor G.
w. Nash. state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, is issuing Il circular let
ter to all county and city school super
intendents of the state, requesting them
to meet in convention at the state
capitol in Pierre, on Thursday and Fri
day, May IS and 10. for the purpose
of considering the changes that have
been made in the school laws by the
last legislature, and further to devise
improved plans and methods by which
the school laws of the state may be
better enforced and their purposes be
more successfully carried out
Among other things to be considered
by the educators in convention as
sembled is a proposed revision OF the
elementary course of study, which has
never been entirely satisfactory to
many of the foremost educators of the
state The superintendent urgently re-
quests all the county superintendent
and the city school SuperntendentS

he regards as one of the most import
ant educational meetings ever held in

TAKING SCHOOL CENSUS.
Number of Children viii Determine
Apportonment of Funds.

Apportlonnent OF Funds.
Pierre, S. D.. April 21.-When the
census of school children is taken in
this state this year for the purpose of
apportioning the interest and income
from the tsate school fund, a compli-
tance with one of the laws of last Win
ter house bill 124 will show a reduc-
ton in the number in several counties.
The provisions of this bill cuts from
such enumeration, amy pupils who at
tend the model schools at the state nor
mails, or any other state school. The
theory of the bill is that when the
state is paying for the education of
these children at state expense, and the
community in which they live is re-
lieved from local taxation for their
schooling, they are not entitled to draw
from the state school fund additional
means for their education. BY enumer-
.ating such children, the communities in
which they live secure larger amount
per capita on the children actually in
attendance in their schools than do the
communities where there is no state
school to send large number of chill
dren and thus reduce their local eX-
pense. In one town in the state where
there is an orphans home situated, the
children in this home have been enum-
Grated for the purpose of securing a
portion of the state fund, but not al
lowed to attend the school. the school
board going so far as to get an opln-
ion from the court that the town could
not be legally compelled to admit such
children to the schools. Other cases
are just as glaring, and the enumera-
lion will be less in many cases.

Yankton, S. D., April 2l.--What looks
very much like a railroad war WAS
precipitated late yesterday afternoon
when Il Milwaukee gang acting on tele-
graphic instructions from President
Earring, went through the newly
laid Great Northern cement works con-
nection, throwing aside the track and
laying Milwaukee rails in place, con-
tinuing the work until a complete
switch had been laid to the brewery
A large force of men were put to work
and at 1:30 last night an engine, coach
and box car were run ont o the line
and maintained in position all night.
The affair, which has caused a great
deal of local excitement. was brought
about by the Northern people stealing
a march on the Milwaukee. and laying
a line across the latter's right of way
for a brewery switch. The Milwaukee
then retaliated by doing some night
work and when the Northern resumed
work the next morning it found its
connection with the cement works line
barred by a Milwaukee switch. Plans
We're changed and the Great Northern

failing thus to complete it's work at
both ends. The Milwaukee took no no.

MATRlMONY INTERPRETERS.

County Become Wives.
Huron, S. D., April 22.--Beadle county
appears to be the matrimonial mecca for
Minnesota school ma'ams. Within the
past two years five of the fair instructors
of young ladies have come here from that
state and not only have they proved splen-
did teachers In schools. but excellent wives
and housekcepcrs Not long after enter
ing upon their school duties their attention
Is attracted by some prosperous young
farmer or stockman, and almost before
the school board is aware of what is trans
pirng notice is served upon them that II
will not be an applicant for this position
for another term" There has been
scarcity of lady school teachers in this
county for about three years and County
Superintendent Dubois urged those hav-
ing charge of the country schools to in
crease the salaries of teachers, hoping
thereby to secure teachers sufficient to
supply the demand. This worked very
nicely. and soon teachers from Iowa and
Minnesota began making applications for
schools, and goodly number We're en-
ployed. But what now confronts the
boards Of education Is the how to keep
the teachers from marrying? They give
excellent satisfaction In the schoolroom,
and socially they are vcritable charm
ers." Thus do they win their way into the
affections of the young men of the "coun-
try precincts" and matrimonial alliances
soon follow. The latest of the number of
the class referred to Is the larrage few
days since of Hubert Morgan, a well
known cattle and live stock man of Vol
sey. and Miss Mary Griswold, who last
fall came from Dodge Center Mimi, to
teach school near the town where she met
Mr. Morgan. Resident madens are not at
all pleased with the proceedings and
threaten to boycott any young man who is
Il
not a resident of the county for period of
not less than two years.

ST. PAUL GLOBE DIES.
Only Morning Paper in Twin Cities.
Will Go Out of Business After
Thirty Years

! st. Paul, Mimi, April 22.-The St.
Paul Globe, the morning democratic
newspaper, announced this morning
that With its edition of Sunday, ApG-
80, it would cease publication and pass
out of existence. Its farewell an
nouncement gives as the reason for
this step that there is not in st. Paul
sufficient morning newspaper support
to make the venture profitable; that
the Globe has done its best TO produce
a clean and attractive morning news
paper and is forced to so out of bust
ness simply because there is not
enough business upon which Il morn
ing paper can exist; and that 1t has
tried out the experiment so thoroughly
that there is no room to doubt the
correctness of the conclusion reached.
The Globes finale may be summed up
in a few words; that business. which is
Indispensable to every newspaper, will
not go to a morning paper no matter
how good, bright and we'll conducted

however, that an official statement
wal! be issued later.
Hyde Refuses to Resign.
An official statement of the meeting
of the agents with Mr.. Hyde was Civ
ell out by the latter. Chairman BoWes
of the agents committee presented the
request of the agents for the resigna-
ton of Hyde, the agents asking that
he set aside all personal interests
and voluntarily retire for the sake of
the policyholders and agents of the
Equitable to the erection and up
building of which your father devoted
his life
Mr. Hyde in reply said: Il have no
intention of resigning. l would con-
slider such course cowardly and dis
graceful to the memory of my father"
Mr. Hyde promised to write the COM
mittee tomorrow the facts on which
his attitude is based. He thinks the
request would have been more justified
if it had been made to those who have
been keeping the agitation alive to
serve their own selfish purposes" and
requests the agents to do nothing be-
fore the report of the investigating
committees.
