prepared by William H. Baldwin. The COM
mittee voted to send reprints of the article
to all its subscribers and 10 other persons
interested. 1t gives the only complete sum-
mary to date OF the extensive work accom-
plished by the committee on the prevention
of consumption and outlines some of the
needs for future activity, especially the
need for the compulsory registra ton with
the health department of all consumptives.
Gen. William II. Forwood submitted a
detailed report of receipts and expenditures
from November /. 1906, to September 20,
1907, showing that the work during that
time, including the maintenance of ths
free dispensary for consumptives, a special
nurse, meteorological service and edu-
cational campaign through lectures and lit
erature, cost only $3.50. Mr.. William r.
GUIDE. chairman of the finance committee,
submitted n written report of the very
tensve efforts which his committee made
during the year to educate the general
public and enlist financial aid. He said that
altogether S3G61.Gl were collected, includ-
ing a balance on hand October /, 1906, OF
$1,2i4.5e
Care and Treatment.
Gen. George NJ Sternberg reported for
the committee care and treatment out
lining the work of the special nurse. who
has been visiting $50 cases of INDECENT con-
sumptives, the dispensary work and the
growing success of Starmont Sanatorurh
near Washington Grove, which grew out
of the work Of the committee on the pre-
Vention of consumption, but has become
an independent, Self-Supporting institution.
Special enthusiasm expressed by all
the members to plans for the work OF
the new season. Mr. Van Schaick said:
Il have spent a great deal Of time this
summer visiting, with agents of the Associ-
ated Charities, large number OF INDECENT
consumptives in different sections of Wash
ington. | am impressed with the conviction
that work is or could be of more i'm
portance than that represented by this COM
mttee. / have seen the most pitiful Eases
of poverty, where children are constantly
exposed to deadly contagion through the
gross ignorance which II is the purpose Of
this committee to replace by instruction as
To methods of curing and preventing tu-
berculosis. l feel that the whole commu-
nifty is depending upon this committee for
protection although many citizens may
not realize that the protection Of their
homes and lives viii depend to large ex-
tent upon its success in reaching all the
ignorant consumptives OF Washington and
leading them to check the spread of the
disease"
Il have done almost nothing myself, but
the other members OF the committee who
have given so much personal Service should
be proud of what they are doing for Wash
ington. This is going TO be your biggest
and best years work.
DR.. Kicking Mr.. Baldwin, Gen, Stern
berg and Mr.. Weller also expressed them
selves as convinced that the committees
work this season will be more extensive
and effective and will reach d larger num-
b-r Of INDECENT consumptives In their homes
than ever before.

The new islands that formed within what

been partially explored by a party from
the United States revenue cutter McCul-

Some Deductions

From this fact and the general appear
ance Of the formation of the peak 1t may
be deduced that there has been gradual
upheaval and not violent eruption in the
formation of McCulloch Peak.
The formation Of the new peaks has at
tracted profound interest throughout the
scientific world, and the report Of Lieut..
Camden and his party will be eagerly read,
doubtless by scientists everywhere. 1t is
the first statement sent out to the world
OF the birth Of new land far up in the north
and out Of the line of ordinary travel, and
1t was for American officers to first visit
and describe 1t. This summary Of Lieut..
Camden's report is the first that has been
made and published by newspaper.

similar committees, tuberculosis dispen-

NEWSY STATE NOTES.

One day last week little incident
occurred in Milbank that will long be
remembered by at least one man--as a
ray of sunshine fran dark sky. The
man and his wife with five children
from one of the towns on the Sisseton
branch, were on the train coming to
Milbank. The husband was taking the
five children to live with relatives for a
tlme-the mother, poor woman, was ill
with consumption and probably would
never return to her home alive. The
fathers finances were low owing to
much illness, and his friends had taken
up collection for HIM. Some how or
other, as will sometimes happen, these
facts became known on the train, and a
travelling man, whose home is in this
state volunteered to raise some money
on the train After second thought he
gave up the idea thinking that it might
embarass the mother. Arriving in
Milbank the travelling man looked mp
an acquaintance who he had go to Que
of the banks and endorse a draft with
him for $50. This amount he handed
TO the afflicted man and wishing him
the best of success, disappeared refns-
ing to give his name.
The indications now appear TO be that
nothing further in the way of active
operations viii be attempted on the big
railway bridge across the Missouri river
at Pierre until after the June rise. +"
If that plan is earned out il will delay
work on the structure until some time
in the winter and delay the crossing Of
through trains. Before their first act
nal experience with the Big Muddy, the
bridge people thought they could hold
false work in the stream at any stage of
water, but with the one experience of a
few days ago with three-foot rise from
local rains, when they lost their false
work and had narrow shave on one
span of steel, they are not quite so GER
tain as to what liberties they can take
with the big stream, and fear that the
June rise will be higher than the water
they have had TO contend with SO far
this spring.
Charles O. King, the Scotland banker,
who was sentenced in Judge Carland's
United States court at Pierre Saturday
to five years at Leavenworth prison for
violations of the national banking laws,
kept up brave front until sentence
was pronounced. when he broke down,
and after being PLACED in jail he COM
pletely collapsed and the services Of q
physician were required. He will be
taken to the penitentiary as soon as the
term of court 10 closed.

OUR SHOE Department!
YOURS FOR BUSINESS,

The Black hills was entirely cut off
from communication from the outside
world since the evening of June IL,
until Sunday night. A terrible rain
and hail storm, lasting six hours,
washed out railroad bridges and tracks
and destroyed telegraph wires. Three
people are known to have lost their
lives. Mrs. Anderson, OF Piedmont,
and two children were elone in their
home in Stage Barn Gulch when a
cloudburst swept down the canyon.
The torrent cut channel 90 feet wide
and ten feet deep, sweeping all build
ings in its course. With no warning
nor time to escape Mr.. Anderson and
the helpless children were carried down
to death. Reports of loss and destruc-
ton continue to come in from surround
ing towns and mining camps, but until
communication is again established it is
impossible to know the total loss of life
or property. From 20 to 30 railroad
bridges are down and the roadbed
washed out at dozens of places on the
Burlington road, while the @. 81 n. w.
is still in worse condition.
Amos Chandler, big burly negro,
had the loger end of the business sec
ton Of Mitchell terrorized Friday night
when with big 44-caliber gun in his
hand he traversed that section, declar-
ing that he was going to kill couple of
fellows before he got out of towr that
night. Chandler lost his job as porter
and commenced to fill mp on booze.
His threats to kill caused considerable
excitement and with the gun in his
hands he had the crowd at bay. Two
policemen finally tackled him and
three more were called on for assist :
ancs to get him to Jail. Chandler
fought like demon and he was finally
dubbed into insensibility. Several
times Chandler has been in police court
and he has been regarded as a very bad
citizen.
Howard Fuller, son Of Supreme
Judge H. g. Fuller, will graduate from
the senior class of the Yale Law school
on June 9th. The many friends will
congratulate Mr.. Fuller upon his sue
cessful career, especially because he has
only been at Yale one year. While
attending the state university he pur-
sued such college studies and branches
of the law as the Dean of Yale sug-
gested and having passed a satisfactory
examination was admitted last Septem-
Der into the senior year Of Yale Law
school. After his graduation, Howard
will visit short time with his parents
in Pierre and then engage in the prac-
tioe OF law with Thad L. Fuller Of
Milbank.

"We1l, to shorten the story, the

only a few days, seemingly dying of

by their excitement. We named the
