HEAD OFF "slck" TRAIN.
Aberdeen Fears Milwaukee Extension
EMPLOYEES Have Smallpox.

Smallpox patients arriving from 9th
er points have caused local cases to
develop until there are now in Aber-
deem and vicinity three cases. one in
the pesthouse, and four more in Gem
township, just outside of the city. To
add to the troubles OF the health ot4
GERS, it is reported that a sick train
from Mobridge, on the western extern
sion, is headed this way. 1t is believed
that these men, Of whom there are
eighty, have smallpox, and an assistant
health inspector has been sent out to
inspect the train and TO try to head 1t
off. The local authorities have made
a demand on the Milwaukee road to
cease making Aberdeen dumping
ground for sick employees from the
western extension work. If this de-
mand is not obeyed. the authorities as
sert they will stop the bringing of men
here even if they have to hold up
every train when it arrives and quar-
antine the passengers in the cars.

NO SUMMER SCHOOL THIS YEAR.
Institution of Sanitary System Blocks
Other Work at Vermillion.

The university will be unable to
carry out its plans for a summer
school this year. An appropriation was
made by the last legislature for a
complete sanitary system, and to in
stall this in time for the opening of
the fall term the work must begin as
soon as the school closes, June 20.
The improvement affects all OF the
four buildings on the campus, making
their public use during the summer
practically impossible. The annex to
the young ladies' dormitory will also
be completed this summer.
The appointment of DR.. Francis M.
Hamilton Of Columbia college, New
York, as professor of the department
of education will relieve somewhat
the work crowded on other members
of the faculty. DR.. Hamilton has had
practical experience in normal schools
and universities.

State News of Interest
WEDDING LONG IN DARK.
Lawyer and Woman Dentist Married
in 1905 Keep IL Secret.

1t has just come to light that Will
lam F. Dutton, a prominent lawyer,
mining man, and broker of Lead, and
Miss Jennie Hines. an attractive young
dentist, We're married a year and a
half ago at Omaha. The young couple
have kept their secret remarkably
well, and the truth even was not sus-
pected until day or two ago when it
was confided to some of the most in
innate friends of the couple.
The reason for the silence was that
Mrs. Dutton was successful in her pro
fession and was not yet ready to give
it up. 1t was only after Mr.. Dutton
had decided to move to Denver that
the couple made the matter public.
In 1905, Mrs. Dutton, then Miss
Hines, went to Minnesota to visit rel
atives; on her return to Omaha she
ct by her fiance and the mar
riase ceremony was performed in that
city on Sept. %, 1905. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dutton have both been residents of
Lead for a number of years, and are
not only well thought of in their pro-
fessions, but are highly esteemed So
cially. They will leave next week for
Denver, where they will make their
future home.

SCHOOL BOARD TO BE CUT DOWN.
State Superintendent lnterprets New
Law,

Fl. A. Ustrud state superintendent
Of public instruction. while in Sioux
Falls on business took occasion to
give an outline of the changes which
the last legislature made in the school
and thus correct a wrong impression
which appears to have prevailed
throughout the state as to just what
The changes were.
That a change was made in the
law was generally known, but it was
thought by many that the change was
in connection with the Galveston plan
Of city government, and would not be
operated unless the Galveston plan
was adopted The state superinten-
dent states that this is an incorrect
impression. He points out that the
school board clause was eliminated
from the Galveston plan as adopted by
the legislature, but that an amend
ment to the school laws Of the state
provides that after July l next the
membership OF boards of education,
like the board in Sioux Falls, which
consists of thirteen members, will be
reduced to five members, who, instead
Of being elected by wards and dis
tricts, as under the old or present law.
will be elected at large.
Next year, in other words, the en-
aF 10 I'D
of education will retire from office,
and in their places will be elected the
five members who, under the new law,
will constitute the board. The mem
bers Of the present boards OF educa-
cation in Sioux Falls and elsewhere
in the state will hold Office until the
third Tuesday in June of next year,
when the boards f five members will
be elected.
1t is further stated by State Super
intendent Ustrud that the changing OF
the date for holding the school board
elections from April to June was for
two purposes. First, it was thought
best to separate the school elections,
which are held in April and, second,
there has been considerable discus
sion and friction on the different
boards regarding which board, the old
or the new, had the right to select
teachers for the ensuing school year.
With the elections held in June, a
number Of weeks after the regular
municipal elections, it will develop
upon the old board to secure the teach
ers for the next school year.

The business of the Huron land dis
trict has been about closed up, after
an existence of a quarter of century
in which u large amount Of govern
ment land was disposed Of through
that office, and within a short time 1t
will be consolidated with the Pierre

the state auditor shows 313 final
proofs for the last year, of which more
than 200 were in the southern part OF
Hand and Hyde counties, where the
Crow Creek reservation country was
filed upon about two years ago, and
the last rush of proofs" have gone IN.
The others we're scattered over
large extent of country, only few in
each of the other counties of the dis
trict. The largest additions to taxa
BILE real estate through final proofs
probably will be shown in the Cham

The ground was rather soft owing to the wet

is much like the one over which the intercollegiate

finished in pretty good condition, and should make
a much more favorable showing against Princeton
than they did last year. when they ran the race
after practising on Riverside Drive. which gives
