DOWN TO 50 N
School Fund R~epIenished by a Draft
From Uncle Sam.

The state has received from the gen.
eral government a draft for s6,s65.45,
which is 5 per cent on the sales Of pub
lie lands in South Dakota. The money
goes into the permanent school fund,
and the interest alone goes to the sup
port of the schools.
The amount will be used to supply
loans which have been applied for in
advance, so the fund is kept down to
the bottom limit, only containing SO
cents at the time the government
fund was received.
This is in strong contrast to several
years ago, when the idle fund was
near half a million dollars, out OF
which the schools were not getting a
cent of revenue.

MiLBANK is ON THE BOOM.
Large Modern School House to Be
Added to Other improvements.

NOOCu " StHCT NY
1t seems likely that Milbank will
add another splendid improvement to
the many already completed or under
way. Shortly after the new year the
school board will call a mass meeting
of citizens to consider the erection OF
a large modern school building.
The finances of the board are in ex-
cellent shape and the necessary funds
can easily be sec ured. AS the gen.
eral sentiment of the people has long
been in favor of the proposed build
ing there is little doubt that it will be
Endorsed.
The present accommodations are
entirely inadequate. Another year will
probably see Milbank in possession OF
one OF the best school buildings in the
state.

MIx-UPS OVER LAND TITLES.
Will Have to Be Fought Out In Court
From This Time Forth.

The state land department has the
past few years been called upon to
settle contentious as to title to state
lands which had been sold on contract,
the original purchaser in many cases
having died or transferred the o
tract, after witch a question Of dis
puted title came up.
In these cases the department has
been called upon to act in a judicial
capacity to settle claims. At the last
legislative session a bill was passed
which provided that the commissioner
should deliver a patent when final
| payment was made, to the county au-
ditor in the county in which the land
| is situated and the last clause of the
law provides: THE delivery of such
| patent to the auditor as aforesaid shall
operate as a delivery to such purchas-
err or his assigns; Or in case of his
| death, to the parties entitled there
to-"
Commissioner Bach applied this law
to contracts made since the going into
effect of the law, but has secured an
OplulOu llOul EhlIolh Cy NCllCIo l IluIi,
bearing on the subject, in which he
holds that the legislature in this act
prescribes the form of patent which
shall be issued by the state, and that
it applies to all contracts with the
state for land purchases, regardless OF
the date of the contract.
From this time on all patents will

there is any dispute as to who is en-
titled to the land 1t must Be settled
through the courts, instead of making
the state land department a judicial
tribunal for such a settlement. This
will relieve the department of a great
deal Of trouble, which has been in
creasing in amount as the state grows
older.
The bill introduced by Congressman
Burke for the establishment of a hos
pital for tuberculosis Indians, either
at Pierre or Fort Pierre, is the result
of an investigation which shows that
over 60 per CEN of the deaths among
the Sioux Indians are from hat dread
disease.
Fifty years ago 1t was unknown
among them, but since the coming of
the whites 1t has fastened upon them
and is constantly on the increase. 1t
is claimed by those who have given
the matter attention that the cause of
the prevalence of the disease is that
many of the Indians live in houses
with dirt floors, and the afflicted ones
splitting upon the floor cause the
spread by breathing the dust which is
stirred up by the occupants in moving
about in the building, and in this man
ner a whole family becomes innocu-
lated. The ravages Of the disease are
such that the deaths outnumber the
births on some Of the reservations,
and on none of them is there any great
increase. It is hoped by taking cases
In the first stages out Of their houses
and into more healthful surroundings
to assist in the checking Of the plague
among them.

The Episcopal Indians at the Chey.
enne agency a few days ago gave the
white members Of the churches a
sample of what can be done in the
way of raising church funds. A bas.
ket social was arranged and the bas.
kets auctioned of. The a%uctioneer an.
nounced that he would not accept a
bid at less than IS, and when the cash
was counted they found that they had
raised $685. for their church fund in
n evenings fun. If the ladies of the
average church among the whites
could be assured Of that amount for
several days of hard work and con.
siderable expense at a church fair
they would think they had done won
derful work for their church.
Ever since the first move on the
railway extension from Pierre to Rap
i'd City the state land department has
received numerous requests for the
sale of a school section that adjoins
Rapid City. So many requests of this
character were received that the state
land board decided to place the tract
on the market, holding that its specu.
lative price at the present time would
probably bring to the state a greater
sun than could be realized in any
other way. The date of sale will be
March 8, at q minimum Irice to b
fixed by the board at q later date.

DEMOCRACY THE THING

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Jan. 22.-Presi-

mighty American republic a hundred

"The great movement OF the world
today Is toward democracy. The great
keynote OF the present century, the CEN

Will be democracy in all things. one
hundred years from now the population
of our country, which is now for the
most part wilderness. VIII be beyond

nation Will be the most democratic that
the world has ever known.
The progress OF democracy VIII be
the great feature OF the advance OF
civilization in the present century. II
this is to be sound. the character OF our
people must be as sound as their pron-
cheney IN the arts, in commerce. in gov
crnment.
Reverence for Ideals.
Though critics OF democracy say
that democracy has destroyed some of
the finer characteristics OF the older
countries. such as reverence Of children
toward parents, pupils toward teach
ers the people toward their rulers.
there is In all relations a more genuine
reverence than formerly. In no nation
in the world has such reverence FOR
women been shown as by the men of
the great republic. Our reverence for
schools has diminished but not for the
ideals OF the religious and the love of
country stands for"
