Musical Festival.

Prof. Kimbrough spent Satur-
day at Spokane in the interests
of the May Festival. He secured
the services of a male chorus of
about forty voices which is train
ing under tie direction of Prof.
Krantz. Arrangements were al
so made by which the Pullman
May Festival and the Spokane
May Festival associations are to
work tremendously and have
their dates several weeks apart.
Each association is to aid the
other as far as possible. For in
stance in return for the chorus
services our orchestra may take
part in the program at Spokane.
Professor Krantz's chorus has
added fame to Spokane's festi-
walls and will certainly be a valu-
able feature to add to our own.

Party at AlmOta.

Last Friday evening a party
given by DR.. and Mrs. V. T. Nc
Combs at Almota was attended
by four w. S. c. students, who,
during their stay at that place,
were the guests of Mrs, Spauld-
ing. The evening was spent in
dancing to the music of a phono-
graph orchestra under the direc-
ton Of DR.. Lamb. At midnight
a delicious lunch was served.
The affair reflects great credit
upon DR.. McCombs and his
charming wife, who were voted
excellent entertainers by all pre-
sent. The guests were the med
icaI and engineering corps Of
the Oregon, Idaho and Washing-
ton railroad at Almota, the
Spaulding family, several former
W. S. C. students, among whom
were Ernest Saunders and Frank
Moyes, and the Pullman people,
Misses 10 Mccain and Mabel
Baker and Messrs. Arthur Hook
or and Joe BrislaWn.
Shortly after noon on Satur-
day the Pullman guests regret
fully babe goodbye to AImota
and its hospitabIe people. The
eighteen mile sleigh ride home
was made through a snowstorm,
sleighing was excellent, which
made up for lack of fair weather.
Among the interesting things
seen on the trip were the new
railroad along the Snake river,
connecting Riparia and Lewis
ton, the immense warehouses
full of wheat handled by Gene
Spaulding and Ernest Saunders,
three steamboats, going up the
river, and a jack rabbit which
some members of the party mis-
took for a deer.

Education VS.. Criminalogy

Education VS.. Cr1m1nalOgy.
Warden Kincaid of the Wash
ington penitentiary in Walla
Walla makes the following re-
port concerning the education of
the inmates:
Convicts with no education, Sc.
Number who can read only, 10.
Number who can read and
write only, Is.
Number who attended COM
mon schools only, Isl. High
school graduates, 8.
College graduates, 2.
From the 751 who claim a
common school education, the
warden reports probably half of
these as having gone no further
than the third grade.
Is there not food for thought
IN this report? Does not educa-
ton pay? A little more money
in buildings, grounds and equip
ment, better paid and better pre-
pared teachers-that these 751
might have been carried on into
the high school or college-would
it not have paid the state in dol
lars, and in many other ways?
These criminals, as children,
were pretty much like your child
and mine. A strong teacher and
an excellent school system would
have reached many of them.
Twenty years from now the
children of today will or will not
be the criminals Of Washington.
Who can pick out the babes of
today that will be the criminals
of tomorrow? Shall we not
strengthen our educational sys-
TEN, improve our teaching force,
and do all we can to preserve all
the children of the coming gen.
Grafton? If my child is in dang

FAIAL WRECK ON
1HE CROUCH LINES
A TRAIN GOES THROUGH A
BURNING BRIDGE AND DES-
TROYS
Engine --- Fireman Martin Killed
and Body lncindcrcd-Two cars
Coal Burned.
Engine Fireman Martin Killed

The M. r. & N. w. Railway, bet
or known as the Crouch Lines,
dded another to it's already long
list Of misfortunes last Friday after
neon, when a train in charge of
Conductor w. j. Armstrong ran on
% a partially burned bridge, about
NO and a half miles from Mystic,
iho engine and two cars of coal
dropped TO the creek bed, some dis
tance below, carrying with them the
fireman, Robert Christie, who was
Instantly killed as the engine and
tender came together. The engi-
neer, John Harper, jumped and
sayed his life, receiving only slight
INJURIES. G. P. Cory, traffic manager
Of the road, leaped from the ca
3oose attached to the rear of the
train, and suffered serious injury
to an ankle. In company with
Harper, Mr.. Cory was removed to
The hospital at Deadwood, where it
was ascertained that one of the
bones of the ankle had been broken,
in addition to severe sprain.
On account of the intense heat
omanatng from the coal, that had
been set on fire when the cars
spilled their contents onto the en-
glne, attempts to get at the body o.
the unfortunate fireman proved un-
availng, until the blaze had been
eXtinguished with the assistance of
members Of the local fire department
who went out to the scene Of the
wreck Saturday evening. All that
was left of Christie was found under
the fireboX of the locomotive Mon
day. AT the parents request, the
remains have been shipped to New
York. Christie. for personal rea-
sons, was known as Jamees Martin
since his arrival in this vicinity over
year ago. He formerly resided in
New York and was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. A. Christie, whose home
is in that city.
Crouch Line officials set to work
at once to make the repairs neces-
sary for the resumption of traffic.
The Burlington wrecker was requi-
sitioned to assist in the work and
got the wrecked engine out of the
way, so bridge crew could put in
the necessary repairs. Traffic was
resumed on the line Wednesday
morning.
Messrs Cory and Harper have re-
turned from Deadwood, the first
named being able to get around with
the assistance of crutches.
1t is thought the demolished loco
motive was responsible for starting
the fire, that resulted so disastrous
ly, the supposition being that spark
set fire to the bridge on the up trip
to Mystic, and the first intimation
of it's condition came when the
Eleven Spot" ran around a sharp
curve which is in such close proxim-
| ity to the trestle that the engineer
had practically no time to put on
brakes and save his train from the
| impending danger.

NOT SATISFIED WITH NEW
SCHEDULE.
The Up-Gulch Town Wants Railroad
The Up-Gulch Town Wants Railroad
to Run Trains for the cBnctit
of Them.

The business men of DeadwOod
gave vent to an official howl last
Saturday against the new train
schedule, the Northwestern put into
effect Sunday, whereby the passenger
train, that formerly got into the
Gulch City at 1:10 p. m. arrives
one-half hour later.
At meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Deadwood Business
Mems club, according to the Pioneer
Times the most important business
transacted was the appointment of
a committee whose duty it will be
to confer with the officials of the
Northwestern railroad with view to
securing better train service for
Deadwood. Their efforts will be di-
rected to bcttering conditions on all
lines of that road entering Dead
wood. 1t was pointed out that the
Northwestern has announced that
No. 5, the incoming passenger train
from the east via Chadron, will ar
rive here AT 1:40 p. M, commencing
tomorrow, instead of at 1:10 as at
present. This addition of thirty min
utes was declared to be a move in
the wrong direction AS it is now
the merchants of Deadwood have
too little time to go over their man
between the arrival of the train and
its departure. Consequently it
makes it inconvenient to properly
answer letters and mail the answer
on the day of their arrival in Dead
wood. Instead of making the time
of arrival Of No. 5 later, it should, if
anything, be made earlier.
A request will also be made to
improve the service between Dead
wood and Belle Fourche. Under
present arrangements there is no way
to reach Deadwood from Belle
Fourche by rail earlier than 1:1O D.
m. A train leaves Belle Fourche
early enough in the morning to con-
meet with the outgoing Pierre train
lat Whitewood at Gas a. M, but this
train does not run into Deadwood
The Northwestern people will be
asked to continue this train to Dead
wood allowing it to reach here at
about 1880 a. M, thus giving resi-
dents of Belle Fourche who have
business to transact here, from early
morning TO 600 o'clock D. m.

High School Football Team Turns

In an ancient fable we are told
how on certain occasion worm
turned, and in emulation of that per-
formance, Rapid City high school
football men proceeded to turn last
Saturday afternoon and in the ac-
complishment of the feat, inciden-
tally registered a victory oyer the
OF too, after having previously
been walloped by the same aggrega-
ton a week or two ago.
The locals started in from the
time the first whistle blew to make
things interesting for their erstwhile
conquerors, going steadily down the
field toward the coveted Deadwood
goal, until within striking distance,
when Capt Gale was handed the
ball and made good by scoring a
Touchdown as the result of a smash
ing assault just off right tackGe
Crockett, Keliher ana Maxwell were
strong factors in blowing up the
line OF the Gulch City team. A try
:cr goal from difficult angle proved
a failure and the score for the first
half remained to 0.
The Deadwood boys received the
kickoff in the second half and for a
moment or two tore things up in
great shape, Capt. Breeze and Quar-
terback Steele being responsible for
most of the damage. The advance
was stopped in short order however
and the local goal was never in Sc
rious danger throughout the contest.
although the stubborn defense put
up by Deadwood deferred the all-
diticn of any more touchdowns to
Rapids string.
The linemen on both teams played
good football, although at critical
stages the local backs managed to
find holes through which to make
substantial gains. Royse at end for
Rapid, played his usual star game,
sailing into the interference and nail

A feature of the game was the eb-
sence of any intentional roughness
