After stranding. the vessel received n
mighty flashing from the waves, which
broke completely over her, and those

The fact that Archie Roosevelt, son of

has been duly reported to the health de-
partment. and the required, though de-
iayed. placard is today displayed. The Law
enjoins the display Of such a placard from

residential purposes the placard is display
ed. unless special reasons for a contrary
procedure appear. within the building at

apartments used by the patient.
This course was followed with respect to
the placarding OF the White House during

Philip have noted the spirit of har-
mony and push that is prevalent
here. In older towns the people are
oft times classed as "behind the
times as the saying is, and every
movement for some needed improve
ment is fought by the various fac
tions, which results in the better
class of citizens being discouraged
in their efforts for improved condi-
tions. One of the best advertise
ments a town can have is that it's
citizens are united in their efforts
for all that pertains to the towns
best interests, and Philip, on the
start off, has gained that distinction.

Indian School Closes.

The closing exercises of the gov
ernment Indian school were held
last Wednesday evening. The exer-
cises were well carried out and
brought out commendatory words
from all present. The Industrial
side Of the program attracted much
attention and was very interesting.
AT the opening of the school year
Professor Morrow announced that he
would give several prizes at the end
of the year for the best work done.
AT the close of the program Wednes-
day night the prizes were given out
as follows:
In the fifth and sixth grades the
boy in the afternoon class to receive
the prize was John Pretty Bird.
The Girl in the same class was
Annie Williams.
In the morning class the boy to
receive the prize was Leon Holy, and
the girl Edna Roffe.
The pupils in the third and fourth
rooms were promised prize for
the boy and girl who read the most
books out of school hours. The
ones to receive the prizes were AL
bert Amiotte and Louise Bissonette.
Miss Mooney offered a prize of a
suit case to the one in the banking
department. Paul Standing Bear was
awarded the suit case.

GO AND CELEBRATE.
Sturgis, Hcrmosa and Underwood
are Making Extensive Prcpara-
tions to Utter a Piercing
Scream the Fourth.

Sturgis, Hermosa, Underwood and
Wasta will be the places where Rapid
City people who care for the recre-
alton will choose a Fourth of July
outing. We understand that the
Northwestern will provide spe-
cial cars for the run to Wasta in
the morning, returning in the eve
ming, and it is probable that num-
Der Of Rapid City people will visit
that place as well as Underwood on
the natal day.
Sturgis will attract number
from here and perhaps Hermosa will
come in for few.
On the eve of the completion of
the new lines into this city it is per-
haps for the best that Rapid City
made no attempt to inaugurate a
Fourth of July celebration, as at
that time all patriotic and pent up
enthusiasm can then manifest it
self at the. coming jubilee A rumor
is current that the Milwaukee line
is stealing a march on the North
western since the difficulties en-
countered by that road by the re-
cent storm Should the two roads
be completed at or near the same
time, celebration by a grand jubi-
lee would be made more interesting
as the crowd would be largely aug
mented.

The Graduate and Her Dress
(Record-Herald.l

Superintendent Cooley made a
statement the other day in connec-
ton with the graduation dress con-
troversy that must have astonished
great many people. He said that
he personally knew of places where
girls had sacrificed their diplomas in
order to avoid the humiliation of
appearing in cheap dresses along
side of more favored ones arrayed in
costly creations" with laces frills
and effects"
The agitation among principals
trustees, and public-spirited men and
women for simplicity and democra-
cy in the commencement exercises
could not we'll have received more
convincing Endorsement. The facts
referred to by Mr. Cooley are so pa
thetic that we feel sure that no
thoughtful Chicago parent of the
well-to-do element will wish to con-
tribute in any degree to the preser-
walton of fashion that is RESPONSE
BILE for them.
But there are other arguments for
plain, tastefully made, inexpensive
graduation dresses They would en-
phasized the most precious object
and tendency of the public education
al systematic Decentralization Of
the pupils, the fostering of the spir-
it of solidarity and equality and am
ity. The good looking graduates
who are, of course in the great ma
jority-need not fear that their ap-
pearance will suffer from the re-
striction; the whole community is
ready to rise up and call them sweet
and charming in any costume. And
no refined girl should. even for the
sake of small selfish advantage,
find it in her heart to cause her
schoolmates heartache and humili-
alton, especially on graduation day.
Finally the idea that the dresses
should be made by the girls them
selves under the direction of sewing
teachers, each school deciding upon
class color to be woven into the
dress, is most happy one. 1t would
give the graduates a new sense of
pride and their parents and friends
and admirers a more vivid sense sof
their accomplishments.
