At meeting of Gen. Shields Post.
G. A. R., last evening for the purpose
of discussing Memorial Day obser-
vance, the invitation of Pres Heston
of the State Normal school and Supt.
Hess of the city schools was accepted,
to place the observance of the day IN
der the auspices of the normal and the
city schools. AS a beginning, an illus
trated lecture, Trip Through the Ma
tional Capital, will be given at Normal
Auditorium Thursday evening of this
week for the purpose of raising funds
to properly observe the day. An ad-
mission fee Of 10 cents will be charged
Pupils of the schools will offer tickets
for sale tomorrow and it is expected
they will be literally patronized.
Heretofore the observance of Memorial
Day has rested upon the comrades of
Gen. Shields Post, and largely at their
own expense, and this new departure is
to be commended. Nothing is too good
for the comrades, and everybody will
rejoice when they learn of the interest
taken in their welfare by the citys
educational institutions.

While the newly sown wheat is slow at

grain in the ground has been injured in
any way by the cold weather. With
the wheat seeding out of the way, the

BOND REDUCED.
Judge Garland Lowers the Bond
of Banker King to
$500.

Sioux Falls, May NV. H. Farms,
worth of Sioux City and F. d, Wtcks
of Scotland, attorneys representing
Charles C. King, the alleged Scotland
bank wrecker, who now is in the coun-
ty Jail, in this city, in default OF
bonds, Saturday appeared before Judge
Garland, of the United States court,
and asked that the amount of King s
bond be reduced from $4,000 to IS, 1000.
Judge Garland, after hearing the
arguments for and against further re-
duction of the bond, which originally
was $40, 900 denied this, but consented
to reduce the bond to 81, 500.
Kings attorneys stated that it was
impossible for him to furnish bond
for $40, 600, and asked for a reduction
chiefly on the ground that it was nee.
essary for King to be at liberty In
order that he might give the necessary
assistance in the preparation of his de,
feuse and to look after business matters
which require his immediate attention.
United States Attorney Porter repre-
sented the government in the arguments
and expressed the opinion that in view
of ell the circumstances surrounding
the case bond of SO, 600 was not too
much to require in the case.
Inasmuch as the attic rneys for King
stated that they had assurances of be,
ing able to furnish bond in the sum
ofaa$5, 900, it is unknown as yet whether
or not they will be able to furnish a
bond in the sum of 81, 500, as now fixed
by Judge Garland.
The court strongly intimated that
any further efforts to reduce the bond
would be hopeless The wife and two

MILLBRS IN SESSION
Annual Meeting Resolutions
Ask Removal Of Duty on

President, Geo. P. Saxauer. Brook
ings; vice president, G. A. Laurson,
Howard; secretary treasurer. Henry
Neill, Madison.
At the close OF the meeting the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
''Wheras, 1t is apparent to us as
millers that by reason of the tendency
toward decrease in the production of
good milling wheat in the northwestern
states, due to extensive diversified
farming and the growing of durum and
other grades of wheat not well suited
for milling purposes, and,
"Wheras, The large milling indus
try of this state is in danger of be.
ing seriously crippled in the not far
distant future by reason of the condi-
ton stated, and s....
"Wheras, The development of this
section as stock and dairy district
has caused large demand for the by
products of the mills and has resulted
in an advanced price Of such products
to the disadvantage of stockraiseres and
dairymen, and
Whereas, The export trade in -four
which has been q prominent and i'm
portant factor in the general prosperity
of the country, has fallen off materially
for the reason that mills which have
free access to Canadian wheat are now
strong competitors in the foreign
market, condition which results in an
economic loss to the American miller in
the idleness of his mills, to the laborer
in the loss of work, and to the farmer
in decrease in the supply and an ad-
vance in the price of milling feed pro-
ducts; therfore,
Resolved, BY the South Dakota and
Southwestern Minnesota Millers' club,
that the time has come when, not only
for their own benefit and protection,
but for the good of the public at large,
the duty upon foreign wheat should be
removed; and
Resolved, That we respectfully re-
quest our representatives in congress to
work to the end that this may be
brought about as early as possible. -

In the reply France learned incl-

20 miles an hour over a 60-mile run.
That such a squirt, however, is done
in America only on specially prepared
high-speed tracks and with loading
gauge that permits the use Of heavy
rolling stock was a detail not over
much dwelt on.
One Of the first results was a catas-

iron Is enormous and coal has just
been discovered, though it is too early
to say how important it will be in the
development of Katanga.
This company, however does not
hold nearly all the mining preserves
of that region and a pretty race Is
now in progress to see who will be the
first to reach them. The Cape to
Cairo railroad hopes to tap southern
Katanga in a year or two and the
Congo State has 5000 men building
the line around the last rapids that
impede steam transportation from the
Congo mouth to this territory. The
Tanganyika concessions will, however,
have the shortest route from the sea

such. The French railway people will

The corpse did it in just two hours

the average of 73 miles; and when
the first wonder of 1t passes the ques-

roads suddenly attained such sensa-

otherwise inferior roadbeds?
II is a creditable American story,
because If in the last five years the
French lines, first one, then another
have broken all the proudest English
records, it has been due purely and
simply to the adoption of American
type locomotives.
Somewhere around 1S99-l9OO two OF
