Large Modern School House to Be
Added to Other improvements.
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 mass meeting
of citizens to consider the erection Of
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
indorsed
The present accommodations are
entirely inadequate. Another year will
probably see Milbanll in possession Of
one of the best school buildings in the
state.

When the federal building at Pierre
was planned the rooms arranged for
the land office were placed on the third
floor. AS the land Office is one which
will have more business to transact
for number of years than any other
department except the postoffice, OBJ
jections were made and Congressman
Burke took the matter up at Washing
ton, securing change in the plans SO
as to place the land office on the Sec
ond floor, the postoffice taking the first
floor This will place part of the
United States court rooms and the
weather bureau ON the third floor of
the building. The change will neces-
state the construction of different
vaults than were first planned, and
make other changes in the interior ar.
engagements necessary.

DOWN TO 50 CENTS.
School Fund RepIenished by Draft
From Uncle Sam.

From Uncle Sam.
The state has received from the gen.
eral government a draft for $6,865.45,
which is 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 million dollars, out Of
which the schools were not getting a
cent Of revenue.

REPUBLICANS DISCUSS
POLITICAL SITUATION
-. a -encioted Press.

~ hTe0cl1teU tTesSS-
OYSTER BAY, Sept 5.-There was
a political conference at Sycamore Hill
today. President Roosevelt had as his
guests Representatives Littauer, Post
master General Cortelyou, chairman OF
the Republican committee, and Lyman
H. Bass of Buffalo.
1t is understood that both the con-
gressional campaign and the situation
in New York state were thoroughly
canvassed.
When Mr. Littauer returned from
Sycamore Hill to take his train fol-
New York, after spending several
hours with the president he empha-
sized again the fact that the president
has a most keen interest in the out
come of the congressional election
and also that while he has determined
to take no active part in the state
situation he is very desirous that the
right thing be done by the party In
Strengthening out it's tangle.
TT is apparent to every observing
man in the state" he said, that the
situation today is such as to demand
the advent of a man big enough to en-
tirely ignore bossism man who
could administer the affairs of the
state as governor with master hanc
and who could command the vote o1
the Republican party independent oi
fractional opposition.
"New York has had ten years of Re-
publican rule. The state has pros
pered under that rule and there is nc
doubt that large percentage of young
voters of the state are Republicans il
their inclination. What the party
needs at this moment is the nomination
of a man for governor who can unite
all the Republican votes of the state
OF course the work in hand is to fine
that man."

passage referred to bogus reformers."
The crowds seemingly misinterpreted
his thought and indulged in kissing.
AS Governor Mickey concluded and
Mr.. Bryan arose there was renewed
cheering and hand-clapping. Mr.. Bry-

Following Mr.. Bryan's speech the
formal reception took place in the cor

today After the conference it was
stated that it would not be easy to find
suitable warship within a reasonable
time on which to bring Stensland back.
There are no American warshipS at
the present time in the Mediterranean
waters. So the state department Of
ficials are inclined to think that a
merchant ship might serve, and the
present plan is to have some Mediter-
ranean liner cross over from Gibraltar
to Tangier and take Stensland aboard
there, not stopping afterward at any
European port, and thus avoiding any
embarrassing issues with foreign Of
ficials as to extradition.
It is suggested, however, that on ar
rival in New York Stensland, through
his attorneys, may apply for habeas

was illegal, and it was intimated that
the question is a new one. the case

The writer cautions Trevino against
acting too soon and says:
I'VE cannot yet fix the day on which
the uprising takes place because we
must arm ourselves. There are forty
revolutionary centers throughout the
country resolved to rise up in arms but
not all possess sufficient arms.
THE junta is working to secure funds
for the revolution. There are persons
who could loan money with which to
buy arms. If they do 1t the junta will
issue the necessary receipts, which will
be recognized on the triumph of the
revolution to be repaid. In this manner
it will be easier to secure money. We
have to be careful to make the least
noise possible so as not to have the
government constantly forewarned.
There are some who would at once
throw themselves on the despots. This
would occasion nothing but demoraliza-
tion and panic. We must act, when we
have the probability of success. Above
all, the movement does not lag, but it
will not be September 16, as certain

of the United States steamer Alba
tross, believes that he witnessed the
birth of the volcanic island which arose
from the sea in the midst of the Aleu-
tan islands about the time this city
was shaken by the earthquake of last
April. One of Hepburn's shipmates is
willing to corroborate the navigator in
his belief. but others on board are in
clined to ascribe the lieutenant's vision
to a trick of the fog.
Whether he saw the island born OF
not, the new peak was so sizzling hot
when the Albatross passed it that nc
attempt was made to land and when the
revenue cutter Perry came along later
her officers did go ashore and chris
tened the new land Perry island.
Prof. H. Heath, who fills the chair OF
invertebrate zoology at Stanford, and
who arrived here yesterday on the
