Assistant District Attorney Smyth,

the disaster was due primarily TO tho

not sufficiently strong TO stand the
additional strain Of the heavy electric
motors which we're drawing the wreck

which they were driven. II this fact

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

Term Of Compulsory Attendance May
Be Shortened by School Board.
The new school law Of the State of
South Dakota which has just gone into
effect has made some sweeping effects
in the matter to which 1t pertains, es-
pecially in the organization of sys-
TENS of the public schools of the state.
The subject OF compulsory education
received considerable attention, MAX
ing the parents or guardians RESPONSE
BILE for the attendance Of pupils in the
schools between the ages of eight and
fourteen years for the entire year or
term during which the school is held.
It is in the power Of the board Of edu-
cation to reduce the time to sixteen
weeks, twelve of which must be con-
secutive. The fine that parents or
guardians are liable to is not less
than $40 or more than $40 for each vi
olation OF the compulsory law. The
law also fixes the mount Of high
school tuition which must be paid by
the district in which an eighth grade
graduate resides, at not to exceed So
per month for those taking such high
school Instruction.

RAILROADS GET INJUNCTION
SOUTH DAKOTA COMMITS loNERs
RESTRAINED FROM ENFoRc.
ING NEW RATE.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Oct. 5.-The re-
duction ordered by the state board of
railroad commissioners in the passen-
ger rate on all standard-gauge rail
roads in South Dakota from 8 to 2 1-2
cents per mile will not go into effect
on Oct. is, as originally contemplated
by the board.
A number of the leading railroads
late yesterday afternoon instituted an
action in the United States court in
this city and secured an order for the
railroad commissioners to show cause
why permanent injunction should
not be granted preventing them from
placing the 2 IL cent rate in effect.
The order to show cause Is returnable
before Judge Garland on Oct. 29, at
which time arguments will be made
for and against the granting of per-
manent injunction.
Pending the hearing at that time a
temporary restraining order was
granted by Judge Garland. This will
prevent the reduced rate going into eff
feet on Oct. Is, as ordered by the
board, and also restraints the board
from completing the publication of no.
tees in three of the daily newspapers
of South Dakota that the new rate will
go into effect on Oct. Is.

HANGS; HORSE IS "DRoP."

Rider Attaches Rope to Tree and His
Neck; Then Starts Animal.
With the arrival of the body Of
young Shelby Reed of Wasta in Rapid
City further particulars of his tragic
death became known. Reed, who was
twenty-three years old, was employed
on his fathers ranch near Wasta. It
was noticed that he suddenly became
morose and shortly afterward told his
uncle he was going to Rapid City: The
next day a riderless and saddled horse
was found and a search for the rider
resulted in the finding Of young Reeds
body hanging to limb of tree in a
neighboring gulch. Investigation
seemed to show that Reed had ridden
his horse under the limb, and after Sc
curing the moose about his neck had
dug the spurs into his animals side
and was swung of to his death. His
neck was broken by the fall, which
could not have been but few feet, as
he stood on the horse.
Reeds family are at a loss to &C
count for his suicide, except to surmise
that 1t was due to overwork.

lied it may be some years before an

Several weeks ago the city council
granted a franchise to c. F. Freehauf

that the provisions are too drastic He
was in Aberdeen when the award was
made and expressed himself satisfied
with the terms and it was expected
there would be no delay in the work Of
construction.
The matter now is open to anybody
else who wishes to come here and con-

than likely the council will eliminate

800 TEACHERS ARE WANTED.
Educational Department Unable 1
Supply Demand.

Educational Department Unable te
Supply Demand.
The state educational department
estimates the shortage Of teachers in
the state at between 700 and 800, and
finds it no easy matter to help the
county superintendent who desire
teachers to fill the schools. The rea
sons for this shortage are ascribed to
different causes by different people
but 1t is found that In the counties
where the lowest wages are paid for
country teachers, the shortage is most
severely felt, while in the counties
with better wages there is rot so
much complaint, although this rule Is
not set one, as the shortage is re-
ported from the counties with better
wages as well as from those with low
wages, but not to such an extent.
The fact that teaching only gives
employment for part of the year
and requires the teacher to be at an
expense of Keeping up" with the work
in the months when not employed is
one probable reason for the shortage,
as the same effort applied to stenog.
raphy will assure employment for
practically the whole time, with wages
as good or better than those paid In
the schools, is probably one Of the
reasons for shortage of girl teachers,
and so far as men teachers are con.
cerned, there is hardly any manual la.
Dor which does not pay larger returns
than does country school teaching,
with an assurance of more work days
in year, with the present condition
in the Northwest with the labor supply
far below the demand. Whatever the
reason, the state wants teachers, and
in many cases it has been found neces.
sary to consolidate temporarily sever
al districts into one, to get schooling
for the children in the country.
