DISASTER IN NEvA RIVER.
Many Lives Lest I'm ShIpwreck Near
st. Petersburg

twenty-five persons are believed to
have been drowned by the laundering
of the river steamer Archangelsl1
while she was crossing the Neva near
st. Petersburg late Saturday night.
Owing to the thickness of the wealth
er the accident was not seen from the
shore, but the shouts for help of those
in distress attracted the crews of two
steamers, which hastily went to the
scene, only, however, TO lind that the
Archangelsk had foundered. A num-
Der of her passengers, mostly working
men, were rescued, BIT owing to tho
swiftness of the current many others
were swept under the ice foes.
There is no means for establishing
definitely the number Cf victims. The
passage across the riyTr was short and
no count was made of the passengers,
but according to the police of Okhta,
a suburb for which the steamer was
bound, thirty-one persons are missing,
all workingmen or small merchants of
the humber classes.
The steamer had scarcely any bal
last and Shen she ran sidewise of a
big foe she careened and Immediate
ly filled and sank. The catastrophe
was over inside OF three minutes.
Those who were not picked up imme-
diately sank beneath the icy waters.
The wreck was located Sunday after
noon lying on the bottom Of the riv-
er scarcely 100 feet from the shore.
1t was impossible for divers to de-
scend owing to floating ice.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great q change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a.
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.

BUILDING UP UNIVERSITY.
Record Breaking Attendance Expected
Next Fall.

President F. B. Gault is doing all
in his power to build up the state uni
versity at Vermillion, aud 1t will be
no fault of his if the beginning of the
next school years does not witness the
largest attendance in the history of
South Dakota's leading educational
institution
In the past two colleges have been
lacking to make the state university
what it should be, but as a result of
an action of the board of regents lhe
needs will be supplied by next fall. To
the college Of arts and sciences, col
lege of law and college of music, will
now be added college of medicine
and college of engineering.
Heretofore it has been possible for
students who planned on a medical
course to take their first two years
work at the university This work is
in the nature of scientific preparation.
But it transpires that regular medical
schools will not accept the work of
the university for the first two years
simply because of the fact that nc
chartered college Of medicine exists al
the institution. To overcome this OBJ
stacle and to give each student who
desires to remain here an opportunity
to do work which will count a college
of medicine has been authorized by
the board Of regents. Eventually this
means that a full course in medicine
will be given.

In prosecuting his suit Buenzle has

NEW PLANS FOR TEACHERS.
All Examination Papers Must Be Sent
to Pierre Hereafter.

Under the new educational law
which goes into effect the 1st of July
all papers for teachers certificates
must come to the office of the state
superintendent for markings. In the
past none lower than second grade
applications were sent in, the third
grade papers being marked by the
county superintendent. AS that class
of applications are equal to or in ex-
cess of all other classes the change
means a decided increase in the
amount of work in the state educa-
uonal department, and has brought
about further change in examina-
tions, Superintendent Ustrur having
decided to call a regular examination
for each month through the fall, when
the greatest demand is on for teach
ers. For several years but two ex-
aminations were held each year, one
in the spring and one in the fall. The
dates fixed for the examinations this
fall under the new law are August
1917, September 1918, October 1918
and November 21-22,

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE CREAM.
CottOnseed OIL Used Instead of the
Ordinary Ingredients,


when Prof. Stillman of Stevens in
stitute gave a dinner to two friends,
at which most Of the viands were made
artiticially by chemical MEANS" writes
Lawrence Perry in the Technical World
magazine, "he had small idea of the
furore his efforts would produce. But
he has received hundreds of letters
asking how different dishes were pro-
duced-so many that he has not had
time to answer many of them.
"The chemical processes which he
employed were some of them simple
and some quite complicated. To make
vanilla ice cream by artificial means,
for instance, the alchemist took some
triple refined cOttOnseed oil and placed
1t in centrifugal machine which re-
volved at a velocity Of 5000 revolutions
a minute. A beautiful emulsion was
thereby produced which was then froz-
en-, chemically, Of course The flavor
was obtained by the addition Of vanil-
lin, glucin and nltrobenzol. They say
that ice cream composed as above iSr
sold in many Southern States where
cottonseed oil is more plentiful and
consequently cheaper than milk or
cream. 1t is far from harmful, tastes
good and does not melt as quickly as
the genuine ice."

HARVESTS FLAX IN APRIL.
Unusual Record on a Farm i'm Potter
County

Harvesting flax in April is not just
the usual order of affairs on a farm
In this part of the world, but that is
the record made in Potter county.
Early SHOWS prevented the harvesting
last fall, and when the snow which
laid on all winter had disappeared and
the field was hard enough to work 1t
was found that enough of the flax was
left In the bolls on the plants to make
1t worth while to harvest it. While a
large part of the crop was lost by
Smelling the owner figures that he
made a profit by his April harvest.
While that is the only record of the
harvest of small grain this spring in
this section there has been a large
amount of corn husked which was
covered by snow before it could be
gathered last year and stayed out in
the field all winter.

ROADVALUETOOHIGH
COMMISSION GOES FAR BELOW
COMPANY ESTIMATES.
Minnesota Commission Declares that
on Basis of Its Valuation Net Earn
fngs Of the Roads Last Year
Amounted to IS Per Cent.

Railroad property in Minnesota is
valued at $215, 200, 900 by the Sund-
berg investigating committee which
returned its report to the state senate
Monday. This is approximately $27,-
600 mile. The property is capital
lied to the extent Of $40O, 900, or
$4,000 mile on an average. The net
earnings according to the commit
tees findings averaged over $4,000 Il
mile last year, or Is per cent on the
committees valuation.
The report says that to arrive at
the cost Of reproducing and equipping
the different lines in their present
condition the committee considered
the original cost of construction; the
cost of improvements, betterments
and equipment added since the cost
and character of the lines recently
quilt, the expense Of operating and the
earnings under existing rates. value of
stock and bonds; the geography of
the line and the judgment displayed
In its location.
Referring to the Chicago Great
Western the report says:
This road was built by A. b. Stick
ney, who raised the funds by acquir-
Ing, organizing, reorganizing and har-
monizing corporations of Minnesota,
Iowa and Illinois"
The capital stock and funded debt
of the road is $143,66S per mile and
the committee finds it is valued at
about one-fifth that, or $2S, 900 a mile.
In its last report the company certi-
hes that the line and equipment cost
$9S,011 per mile.
