Local News Notes.

Milton Goodner. who completed his
course in the law department at the
state university at Vermillion last
week, took with him the highest honors
OF the graduating class OF which he was
member. His thesis, delivered at the
commencement exercises, won first
prize, the judges being eminent attor
neys from Chicago, Sioux City and else
where. Twenty-Five dollars was the
first prize, besides valuable sets of law
books offered by two leading publish
ing houses in st. Paul and Chicago.
Colonel and Mrs. GoOdner and Master
Earnest were present at the exercises,
and took pride in the fact that Milton
stood at the head of his class. Colonel
Goodner says that his law business is
liable soon to be known as Milton E.
Goodner & Father, but the father
shouldn't fear, as it runs in our mind
, that he also took first hOnors when he
graduated from the law college at Lin

R. M. Prlngle, of Washington, d. c.,
is in the city to arrange for the sinking
OF another artesian we'll at the Indian

Pringle is a civil engineer in the serv
ice CT the Indian department of the
government, and has made a specially

first practical demonstration. of irriga-
ton in central South Dakota, but will
be useless as long as the presen: heavy
rains of this season continue.

What One Days Hunting Brought to

What One Days Hunting Brought to
u Brood OF Pied WastaiIs.
A close student of bird life writes:
Conservation of several species of in
sectivorous birds has shown that the
parent birds will. when their family is
growing up, make between them in the
neigh3orhood of 500 visits to the nest
In the course of day, carrying on
each occasion whole beak load of
gnats or spiders or larvae For the
birds which feed on gnats or other
small life generally take to their youn-
gest not single insects, but whole
collection at II time. On one occasion
I spent All hour in taking the record
of a pied wagtail which had it's brood
Of newly tiedged young ones III an old
disused punt that had settled down at
Of the pond, During the hour the male
bird alone was looking after the fami-
ly the female amused herself by run
ming about on the bank catching in
secIs for her own consumption and
varying the occupation with long spells
of attention to her toilet The male
bird, on the other hand, never rested
for one minute from his work of bread
winning AS his hunting ground was
the open surface of the pond, above
which he fitted, he was never out of
my sight.
I'm the course of the hour he made
twenty eight trips, the shortest absence
f,.ry, tl, 10 cti nd hol
minutes and the longest nearly six
minutes. On no occasion did he remain
at. the punt for more than fifteen sec
onds or just long enough to turn over
the food collected on the last trip to
the proper youngster and be off again.
Myriads Of gnats were dancing above
the water, and at each dip the bird
struck at one. but one could not see
whether he always caught his quarry
or not. AS far as it was possible to
guess he always did. On his shortest
absence he made over forty shots, and
from that the number ran up to con-
siderably over 200.
"Supposing that he missed his aim
half the time or afterward dropped or
swallowed the insects, 50 that half Of
them were wasted and failed to reach
the family at home, there must have
been from 1900 to 1000 gnats brought
back to the punt in the course of that
one hour. Later in the day both parent
birds We're hawking simultaneously,
each returning methodically to the
young every two or three minutes.
What the gross consumption of insects
was In the course Of the day it Is i'm
possiblejito guess, but it can hardly
have been less than 10000 or $4,000
and was probably twice as many"

HESITATION IN THE i MARKET <. ::
(py Associated 1'rcss.)

NEW YORK, May 16.-Trequent nuc.
t,ntIons In prices to-day indicated the
unsettled and hcsItatlng condition OF
speculative sentiment In the stock mar.
4 ket. Sugar was the olt-tiins favoritt,
which was made especially prominent
with degree Of activity which has not
been seen for mhhy months. The par
alle1 movement In American beet sugar
was made to give q semblance Of impor-
tant development simpendng rega riding
trade relations, but no authentic infor-
nation was given out on the subject.
There was a similar movement In Anal
gamated Copper and the copper group.
This was professedly based on the annual
report OF the Anaconda Mining Company.
The highly prosperous conditions IN the
copper trade were duly reflected In this
report which was also elaborated with
i financial and operating details beyond
precedent. The money outlook was tho
subject OF earnest consideration In the
light OF the borrowing by the Pennsyl-
vanln Company yesterday OF s50. 0Oo,O0O
for eighteen months on q basis OF rather
more than per cent. Funds IN the
time loan market were reported abun-
dant and not readily lendable at ~ per
cent. for periods up to six months. For
that maturity there were some loans
at per cent. and for over the end OF
the years periods 6 per cent. was re-
ported strongly bid, with 81 asked. The
influence OF the Anaconda annual re-
port was supplemented to some extent,
by ntimations OF n Forthcoming state
,11ent that the Standard on Company.
from which favorable effect on specu-
lative sentiment was augured. The
transfer through the subtreasury OF over
10000 to San Francisco was attributed
TO special traction. and not to any re-
sumption OF the previous movement to
that point growing out OF the fire losses.
The market continued to show some ir-
regularity throughout the day, but last
prices were about the best, and the
closing tone was firm.
