UNIVERSITY.
Mitchell School Looks for Largely In
crpa Sod @

So ~ -
| creased Attendance.
Dakota Wesleyan university at
Mitchell will open its doors for the be-
ginning of the fall term, with an out
look for attendance that surpasses any
previous year in the history of the in
stitution. The field agents of the coll
lege have been at work in all parts
of the state during the summer. and
they have been very successful in Sc
curing new students for the beginning
of the year. This is shown by the fact
that every room in the large dormitory
building has been engaged since the
LIST of July. The anticipated increased
attendance has required h making of
a number of changes in the buildings
to accommodate the new students.
Rooms for housing the young women
and men have been secured outside
the college building, and all who come
will be well taken care of.
There have been several changes in
the faculty for the coming year, made
SO by reason that three of the teachers
nave been granted a leave of absence
for one year and the sickness of an
other which caused him to resign. The
additions to the faculty are Miss Ger
trude Eigme, piano: Percy H. Fullen-
wider, of Cincinnati, violin; Arthur F.
English, assistant professor of English
language and literature; Percy R.
Neal, professor of natural sciences
Miss Lilli Won Raumbach, piano; Hiss
Temple Stansell, director of physical
education and instructor in English
and elocution; William A. Barber and
Miss Hanna Miller, assistants in the
commercial department. Miss Georgia
Scott will also teach piano. DR.. Mich
olson has secured a most excellent
faculty for the college this year and
he anticipates a very successful year
throughout.

yAcATloNIsTs IMPORT TYPHOID
PkHysiciphs Declare Them Response

Pkysicigns Declare Them Responsi-
RIe for Spreading Disease.
Il Chicago people had stayed at home
during their vacations this summer and
dranksRgood lake water, the health de-
partment would not be coping with nearly
200 cases of typhoid, as is the case at
present. This is the conclusion of the
health officers, who have made an eAhaus-
tive investigation Of the situation. They
wondered what was causing so much ty-
phoid, as the city itself is healthy enough.
Calling for facts from attending physi-
Clans, the guardians of Chicago's sanitary
welfare found that 51.9 per cent of the
total number of typhoid were contracted
outside the city. This figuring was made
on the basis of known cases. There nay
be many other cases in the city for all
the Board of Health knows, as a number
of otherwise careful doctors have a habit
of keeping the news to themselves when
they are treating a disease which should
be reported to the department. The num-
Der of typhoid cases directly traceable to
the outside vacation habit is much larger
than last year, when the percentage was
placed at 33.
The beautiful sparkling spring water"
which many a resort prospectus tells
about is good enough to swim in, but the
Chicago health department would advise
the seeker after country joys to take
along a cask of the real thing taken from
Lake Michigan for drinking purposes. The
doctors think some way that a man is
more apt to take typhoid when travelling
than when at home attending to his bust
ness. They do not wish to be understood
as '%knocking'' ON the vacation habit, OF
course. They merely a to warn peo-
Pile so that vacations may be taken on
an intaIlipent basis.

WOULD HIRE A TRAPPER.
R~ancfnan's Plan to Protect Live
Stock from Wolves

If the government adopts the plan
Of the ranchers living in the western
part of Custer county an expert trap
per will soon be employed to protect
the many flocks and droves of cattle
in that section from the depredations
of wolves. Wolves in the open county
between Custer and Newcastle, Wyo.,
nave always beer numerous, but never
before have their visits to the ranches
been so disastrous during the past
summer, when the ranches have lost,
1t is said, something like II per cent
of their flocks and cattle. The wolves
are large buffalo wolves, a couple of
which Ear easily hamstring a steer,
and they seem so fastidious in their
tastes that they never come back a
second night to finish up the killing of
the night before, but always select an
other victim. The state, county and
stock growers association have all Of
fered bounties aggregating $40 per
head, yet few of the wolves have been
killed this year.

BUTTE MINES TO QUIT.
A~malgamated Copper Company Or
ders S,ustpcnsiOn.


The AmaIgamated Copper company
is about to shut down it's mines in and
about Butte, Mont, for an indefinite
period. From an interest closely iden-
tilted with the company 1t was learned
that the suspension of operations IS
due to overproduction and lack OF de-
mand for copper and, TO some extent
also, to the difficulty of obtaining ade-
quate supplies of fuel at Butte.
According to the authority for the
announcement there is now a surplus
supply of 250,000,000 pounds of re-
fined copper in the United States. The
production Of refined copper in Sep
TENDER. he said, would be 100000
pounds less than in August. The pres
ent price as quoted IL. the market is
about Is cents a pount for electrolyt-
&c, but according to the authority re-
ferred to 1T is doubtful If Is cents a
pound could be obtained for any con-
siderable quantity.

afternoon, the stocks selling down to

Rogers would not be able to appear

sons is somewhat 10th to express opfn-
ions on political matters, he says that
when travelling through South Dakota
for the past two weeks he found a
marked sentiment favoring a re-elec-
ton of Senator Kittredge to the United
States senate. He also expresses the
opinion that South Dakota's delega-
ton to the next Republican convention
will be favorable to Secretary Taft. Mr..
Persons, accompanied by Mr.. Garfield,
has been inspecting the reclamation
project, land offices and different agen-
cy schools in different parts of the
country. For nearly a month he has
travelled in the northwestern states,
coming to Huron from the Black Hills.
Referring to the reclamation projects
visited, he considers Belle Fourche, in

md interesting of any of the twenty
we in proces of construction.

Outward Trend Of Negroes.

In the concluding installment of Ray
Stannard Bakers series on the color line
In the American Magazine, an explana-
ton is given why the negroes of the
South are drifting SO rapidly to the cities.
1t is that they feel the lack of schooling
for their children in the country and The
lack of police protection. The difficulty
Of keeping a supply of good labor is caus-
ing the owners of the big plantations to
sell off small farms to the more thrifty
negroes.

Three Denominations at Onida Try for

Church people throughout the state
are watching with interest the result
of efforts which now are being made
at Onida in the direction of church
consolidation. If the movement which
at present is in progress results sue
cessfully, Onida will be the scene of
an interesting experiment in church
consolidation.
1t is proposed that h three church
societies represented at Onida, the
Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist,
be consolidated with a view to having
but one permanent pastor. 1t is be-
lieved that this would prove much
more satisfactory than the three sepa-
rate church organizations whose re-
spective membership is far below what
IT should be to place the societies on
. sound financial basis.
