The second school building is now
completed and the furniture is being
installed. School will probably not be
held in it this week, inasmuch as the
teachers expect to attend the institute

and there would be only one day left.
Mr.. CULLEN and Mr. Wildermuth are
arranging to divide the work between
themselves. the one taking the upper
grades and the other the lower grades.
There will be two distinct schools, so
as to give the teachers the utmost free
dom in making the schools do the best
possible work.

About o'clock last night a fire
alarm from the Davidson foundry was
sent in. The fire department imme-
diately responded, but upon reaching
the ground found that the slight blaze
had been eXtinguished by the com
pany's drilled department. The cause
OF the fire was sparks from the cupola
in which the iron is melted, igniting
the wood casing surrounding the scale.
The loss was very small.

NJ j. Maddenom was damaged by fire to
the extent of $50. Fire in a building
used as a barn by l. Vanderberg, 1856

cottage occupied by j. DeBrum at 1924
Michigan avenue caught fire from the
sparks from the feed store and damaged
the building $400. and the furniture
5000. SO many fires have started in
this locality recently without any
known cause that it would lead one TO
think that fire bugs We're at work and
it would be well to have a very close
investigation

Cigars at Their Best.

box away in your cellar and at the
end of three or four years they are
just right for smoking" said a deal
er. "a cigar, if properly kept, i'm
proves with age, and at the end of
four years storage reaches the maxi
mum of excellence. There are some
curious things, however, about even
the costliest kind that every con-
noisseur recognizes. In certain To-
calities the best brand of Hayanas
acquire bitter taste after being
laid away for a few days. ! don't
know whether it is atmospheric in
huence or what the cause may be,
but certain it is that some climates
are ruinous to their favor. Any
smoker OF the finest goods will also
tell you that it is necessary at times
to change from the imported to the

We are in receipt Of bunch OF
complimentary notices regarding
the candidacy of Hon. O. T..
Branson of Mitchell for congress.
Mr.. Bransou is bright and able
man aud 4 fine orator but so tar
as his candidacy goes we have
been unable to discover that he
stands for anything particularly
except desire to get into con-
gress. He was conspicuous at
Pierre as machine supporter and
had a large share in killing the
primary election petition but his
friends will hardly cite that par t
OF his record as an argument for
giving him further honors. How
ever he may have views on public
questions and when he gives them
to the public we shall be glad to
commend all that we find worthy.
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1906-01-04

The pencil pushers of the state
are feeling pretty proud because
it has been discovered that there
is neither an editor nor printer
confined in the penitentlary at
Sioux Falls. Better keep quiet,
fellers. Too much Dragging
about this thing will only rouse
jealousy among the less fortunate
professions and some reseutful
jury might be stimulated to put
au innocent editor there Just

to even matters up. Let us be
thankful and silent.


The county commissioners of
Clay county have Won notable
victory in getting decision from
the supreme court sustaining
them in assessing monies and
credits after the assessors had
failed to list them. They were
being opposed by some of the
wealthy men of Vermillion. The
decision will be of value for only
one year as most of the men afr
fected have since transferred
their credits to parties outside
the state.

The Parker Press.Leader is
authority for the statement tina,
every county Office has its aspir.
ant save that Of senator. The
candidates must certainly be
keeping pretty quiet about it fo.
but very few are known down
this way. And as it is still
three-fourths of a year to the
county convention it would seem
rather early for making announce.
ments.
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1906-01-04

Judge Campbell of Aberdeen is
another congressional candidate
who seems to have no very pro-
nounced views on anything. So
far as the HERAi.b has observed
Hon. Philo Hall of Brookiugs is
the only congressional candidate
who is willing to frankly. state His
conviction on public questions ! aid i
urge specific policy which ..he
will support If further hdHured
by the state. But then he is
known as as au insurgent which
is considered a vefy evil thing by
many.

CLAIMANTS TO DIVINITY.
Attempts 10 impose Upon the Fanatic
and Credulous.


There have been many attempts
made iii the history of the world by
claimants to divinity to impose upon
the fanatic and credulous. Perhaps
the movement of this kind which
attracted the greatest attention was
that initiated by Joanna Southcott
at the latter end OF the eighteenth
century. This extraordinary wom-
an was domestic servant in the
early part of her career; but, becom-
ing probably the victim of religious
mania, she announced herself as a
prophecies, and very soon, by dint
of her extraordinary claims and
writings, she obtained no fewer
than 100000 followers.
Joanna announced In all serious
ness that she Was about to become
the mother OF the divine Shiloh and
named Oct. 19, 1914, as the date
upon which the event would take
