of the school work seem to be lacking
in numbers, and it was pretty we'll
demonstrated in the teachers insti-
tute held here last week. OF the
11S teachers enrolled in the normal,
there were but three men present to
take the course. The men seem to
have found a field for their services
which command higher wages and an
easier way Of getting along than by
presiding over a school.
1t is likely that the towns which
are unable to secure men teachers
will have to secure the services of
a competent lady teacher.

MEN TEACHERS ARE SCARCE
Calls are Coming to the Cniversit,
From all Parts of the State for
Men Teachers.

There seems to be a dearth of male
teach IS in .uu.n Da.nta this We. :.
1t is brought out as a result of
the many towns in the state making
applications for men to assume 10
sitions in the schools and not being
able TO find them. Prof. y. A. Stout,
of Dakota Wesleyan, stated TO The
Republican that within the last two
three weeks fully a dozen appli-
cations have been received from as
many towns in the state asking if
they could supply the male principal
for school work. The towns are Of
fering salaries from $65 to ST. per
month. Prof. Stout has had TO in
form them in each case that they had
no person on their list whom they
could offer as being able to fill a

KILLED ON AN ENGINE
Charles Wellman Killed Sunday a
Virginia, Wis. by an Engine
Overturning.

The remains of Charles Wellman
ffere brought to Mitchell Thursday
via the Omaha road from Super
Tor, Wis, and we're placed in the
Noble undertaking parlors until the
ARRANGEMENTS are made for the fun
eral. The remains were accompanied
by Mrs. Wellman and little child,
and Messrs. w. M. Bradley and A.
|Follis, members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Conductors, Mr.. Bradley
being the chief conductor Of the or
der in that city.
The accident happened last Sun
day on the Great Northern railroad,
by which Mr.. Wellman was employ
ed, at Virginia, Wis. The train on
which the deceased was working had
stopped at Virginia and was backing
up the ore track and Mr.. Wellman
was riding on the engine. At one
point in the track a rail was broken
and the engine went off the track,
Throwing Mr.. Wellman and another
man off the tank where they were
riding. The engine likewise toppled
lover and fell on the two men, crush
ing out their lives before they could
be rescued. The deceased was a
former resident of Mitchell when he
was a young man and his parents
were also living in this vicinity at
one time until they moved to Spo-
kane Falls, Wash. They are expect
ed to reach Mitchell today.
The accident is a very sad one,
and came to the young man when he
was in the prime Of life, being but
20 years old, and stood in a good
way for advancement in his position
on the Great Northern, for which
company he has been working for a
number of years. After the conduc-
tor was killed the brotherhood at
once took charge of the body and
did everything in their power to
make things easy for the ones that
are left. The two conductors were
placed in charge of the body to bring
to Mitchell and remain until after
the funeral services. 1t is not known
just when the services will be held
the arrangements being deferred un.
It'll the arrival of the parents.

A treacherous sleet interfered to some extent with the so- cial program outlined for the day and necessitated the abandonment of the reception which was to be held in the canopied quarter deck of the flagship Connecticut tonight. This was to be, the most picturesque and unique en- tet tainment of the navy's farewell week. Its cancellation was the cause of much disappointment.
 Rear Admiral Evans the commander was ashore much of the day. having recovered from the indispOsitiOn he suffered in the early part of the week.

The first shot was fired by Isadore Jacobs of San Francisco president of the Good Government League who during the lively skirmisk which followed. promised that startling eXpositions of railroad methods would be given to the people of the state within the next few weeks.
 After the reading of several papers, Jacobs arose and read an amendment to the resolution of the regular com nIittee. in which he demanded the stopping of special privileges and ille- gal amendments to the laws in regard 10 common carriers" and demanded that the state officials follow the pol icy of President Roosevelt and the work of the interstate commission in regulating railroads. The amendment was offered because the resolutions committee had refused to offer a much longer resolution along the same lines which Jacobs presented in the morning. in their repos to the convention.

 Throughout the examination DarrOw referred to the testimony at the Hay wood trial and endeavored to show contradictory statements but orchard, held his own in each instance. Once Darrow was forced to admit that he was mistaken in regard to the former testimony of the witness.
 Darrow touched very lightly on the incidents leading to Orchards cOnfes- sion. merely showing that Detective Mcfarland had told him the Bible story of St Paul and King David who had been nun derers: and Of Kelly the Bum of the Molly Maguires, who was given his liberty because he gave evil dence for the state.

The statements h., said. showed that for days the women lived in state Cf constant terror until the coming of the troops. though no in- stances of anything more than trivial ann, yances were cited.

A high gale was increasing and the life savers found their efforts at rescue useless. One of the boats returned for a tug and the other was compelled to put back because of the exhausted condi ton of the men.
 During their absence. the Lawson turned turtle. Allen, one of the res cued men, is not expected to live. Dow is suffering from a broken arm. His rescue was effected only through the almost superhuman efforts of the life savers. and the gallantry of Freder- icks Hicks, the son of Pilot Hicks. who accompanied them on the second trip in the hope of finding his father. This afternoon after a long search, Dow and Rowe were found alive in Hel- wether rocks, to which they had chung for more than fifteen hours. the tre- mendous waves preventing their mak- ing landing. Young Hicks plunged into the boiling seas and swan ashore carrying a life line by means of which Allen and the captain were hauled to the boat.

When the masts fell the captain and pilot managed to get clear. They jumped to the deck but were washed overheard being carried by the currents to the rocks. where they were found.
