SEES TAFT A VICTOR
Booker I. Washington Gives
Views on Situation.
STOPS OFF IN QUAKER CITY
Negro Educator COnfers with Miss
- Jeanes Regarding Income Of One
Million Dollar Fund which Is to
BE Devoted to Improving Rural
Schools for CoIoTed Children.

Philadelphia, Sept. Booker T. Wash
ington, the negro president Of Tuskegee
Agricultural and Industrial Institute, at
Tuskegee. Ala. was IN Philadelphia yes
terday on a flying visit.
He said he came here to confer with
Miss Anna T. Jeanes in regard to the
disposition OF the income Of the trust
estate of s1.OO0,OO0 which Miss Jeanes has
conveyed to Mr.. Washington and DR..
Hollis Burke Frissel. principal Of the
Hampton Industrial and Agricultural IN
stitute, at Hampton. ia. The income OF
this large sum is to 'be devoted to inn
proving rural schools for colored children
in the South.
COnfers on Trust Fund.
Il simply stopped In Philadelphia to
call upon Miss Jeanes and discuss our
plans for the best utilization OF this
money" said Mr.. Washington. 4 am On
my way South BY the terms of Miss
Jeanes' generous gift twas expressly slip
ulated that none Of the income from the
fund was TO go TO either the Tuskegee or
the Hampton institution.
1t was the intention Of the donor that
the money was 10 be used 70 educate the
negro children Of the South, giving them
al least a common grammar school edu-
cation. and enabling them TO start out in
the world without the handicap which so
many Of them are forced to shoulder
now"
What are the plans which you and Mr.
Frissel! have mapped out?" was asked
well. it seems most practicable at
present to not attempt to establish new
schools in the rural districts. but rather
to build up those which already exist and
which have been for years deteriorating
on account OF tire lack Of funds"
Admires Secretary Taft.
Secretary Of War William II. Taft is a
member Of the board OF trustees Of the
fund, with Mr. Washington. and the lat
ter has an exalted opinion Of the Score
tary.
When asked what lie thought Of Mr.
Tafts chances Of getting the Presidential
nomination at the next Republican ma
tional convention, n said;
j do not delve much into politics, but
I viii say that 1 think Se~~etary Taft
viii be the next President OF the United
States Undoubtedly President Roosevelt
viii receive q unanimous denomination.
but he viii not accept the honor, and
Mr.. Taft viii logically be nominated on
the next ballot
The speeches which the Secretary has
recently made 10 the Southern people
were well-timed and admirable lie has
sown the right kind Of seed but whether
II will sprout OF not is more than I can
tell"

Further information has soft
ened the asperity of the news
that recently came from South
Dakota. It is true that the leg
islature has passed, and the gov
ernor has signed a bill making
ing a years's residence necessary
before it is possible to file a suit
for divorce, but the situation
temporarily has been saved by
Invoking aconstitution II
amendment adopted when
South Dakota was populistic.
South Dakota's constitution
provides that the application of
a new law shall be suspended if
s per cent of the voters, within
ninety days of its enactment,
file a petition for it's submission
Ito the electorate at the next
general election. So South Da-
kota lawyers, hotel keepers, and
witnesses, determined that the
states most widely known in
dustry shall not be struck down
without a struggle, have their
petitions in circulation and de-
clare they will have no difficulty
in securing the necessary num-
Der Of signatures. South Da-
kota does not have an election
for two years, and thus much
respite will be secured.
Il is knowingly pointed out
that while the horrors of mat
rimony may be great enough
to induce the mismated of other
states to endure a summer or a
winter in South Dakota, it's too
much to expect them to endure
both a summer and a winter;
that they will cling to matri-
mony as the lesser evil and that
thus South Dakota will lose a
source Of income steadier than
the wheat crop.

hospital, and in that hospital is
also a preparatory school for
trained nurses, of which there
is at this time such a wide de-
mand, at good aid remunera-
tive compensation. This is es-
sentially a railroad town, where
accidents may happen, and no
doubt if the different railways
centering here we're importuned
that they would take a good
block of the expense of getting
a hospital built in this city and
no doubt arrangements could
be made with the managers Of
these railways to help maintain
the same. They would perforce
have occasionally to contribute
to it's patronage. Let this mat
ter be thought about.

from Pierre on Que representa-

a swell restaurant ofour capital
city and in answer to the in
quiry as to whether he would
take a table d'hote he replied in
the affirmative. The waiter
brought soup and fish, which
was promptly eaten. Seeing no
further activity on the part of
the waiter, and not being used
to the rules Of the game he left
the table and found the cashier.

"Starllght, perfume - ana

ing the nter-Mountain Repub-
lican Of Salt Lake City puts
over it's notice Of Miss Isabel
Irving's performance of Jerome
K. Jerome's comedy, "Susan
in search Of a Husband" in
that city and it goes on to
praise the actress, the play and
the supporting company in the
most enthusiastic terms. But
Miss Irving and her fellow
players are used to that now
for they have been reading the

HIS FAITH IN HILLS
INNING.

Editor Bonham of the Pho
neer- Times of Deadwood who
last week annexed the Mining
Review to his plant and became
it's editor thus cheerfully re-
marks Of Hills prospects in his
first issue:
The Review was not taken
over as an investment that
promises big dividends or even
a profit on the cost Of mainten-
ance, for a time at least, but
for the purpose of preserving
ard continuing the only journal
exclusively devoted to the min
ing interests of the Black Hills.
/ have confidence in the mineral
wealth of the Black Hills and
in the development Of that
wealth. I do not believe that
Nevada is a better camp OF min
ing country than the Black
Hills. Nevada has a few claims
that carry higher grade ores
than we have here, but the veins
are small and will be worked
out in a very short time. There
is nothing upon which to build
permanent camps or towns.
The Black Hills will be a good
mining country and a good place
to live in long after the present
boom camps of Nevada have
exhausted the ore supplies and
the camps have been forgotten.
The homestake mines alone are
good for fifty years to come and
each year hereafter will see the
development of some Of the i'm
mense ore bodies that extend
from Deadwood to Custer. No
other m,uing section Of the
United st. tes has so many an
tural advantages for successful
mining as the Black Hills. The
climate is temperate and health
full, wood and water are abund-
ant and transportation facilities
unequalled. All the comforts
and pleasures of home life are
here ready made.

The Rancher.
The rancher gets a touch OF life,
Who settles In the west;
And takes q ranch on some side hill.
Or maybe on the crest.
He throws a little cabin up
OF any kind of wood,
And fills the spaces In between
With any sticky mud.
He puts q cover on Of shakes,
Split from the tamaracs;
Then shovels on q lot Of dirt
To cover up the cracks.
He buys a little frying pan.
"A stove that's made Of tin
A pot to cook his mulligan
And boil potatoes in.
"a can Of baking powder now
He needs to raise his paste;
IA griddle to bake flap jacks, when
He wants a meal in haste.
He hangs his clothes upon the floor.
He wears the khaki goods.
They do not shrink o do they fade
They never see the suds.
His kitchen and his parlor and
His pantry, they r one,
His garet's in his cellar and
"A cellar he has none.
He rides a brindle cayuse nag
That's full of tricks and Ire.
Its back Is like a rainbow bent,
It's eyes are full Of fire.
Its fight is like the kangaroo,
1t has that skyward leap.
But when It hits the turf again
It's heads between its feet.
This nimble little animal
With eyes so much like glass,
Just hits the highest places, when
It's fed upon bunch grass.
Altho the rancher in the west
Has all three rooms In one,
There's no one much more sociable
That lives beneath the sun.
He's already and will give
The needy one boost;
He's always ready and will share
hogsiuepy one mis- roost.

And then you'll hear him make q

Just like q millionaire.
He'll get nickel plated stove,
A china plate and cup;

And q cook to dish 1t up.
He'll wear q checkered coat and vest
a boiled and starched up shirt;

And Will not have to work.

reason of the heavy fall of
snow which does something to
the soil that can not be derived
from rain. My prediction is
that western South Dakota will
have the greatest crop in its
history this year All these
homesteaders have to do is to
turn over the sod and give to
it an intelligent after-care along
the line of pulverizing and cul-
tivation and they will have to
spare and to sell this season."
Mr.. Gardner was down to the
city Monday on a short business
trip, returning Tuesday morn
ing to finish his seeding of a

the frost is not only just be-
ginning to get out of the ground

plowing done there for a month
yet, and you may imagin how
surprised l was on looking out
of the car window just a few
miles below Rapid City to see a
man breaking sod and another
man following with a wheat
drill. If we Of northern Iowa
get our oats sown before the
10th of April it will be some
thing unusual. Let me say
that 1 believe that you have q
good city here and that you
have the country inviroment to
back it. I am going out to my
claim east of the Cheyenne to
commence the breaking up Of
forty acres as an experiment,
with the intention Of seeding
the same to timothy with a crop
of small grain, either spelt or
wheat. They say that hay here
now is selling at $l8 to 500 pei
