The Pierre-Rapid City extension of
the Western will be ready for
operation Oct. Is. The line will short
On the distance between st. Paul and
the Black Hills by about 300 miles and
will prove an important factor in the
commercial relations of the two.
The Missouri river cities have the
best entrance into the Black Hills at
present. The present route from st.
Paul to the Black Hills Is through
Omaha, making q journey from st.
Paul to Deadwood about twenty-eight
hours. With the cutoff the running
time will be cut down to about twenty
hours.
Besides placing st. Paul on a better
train service, as compared with Oma'
ha, rates, both passenger and freight,
will come down about the same ratio,
so that there will be every opportun.
ity Of st. Paul jobbers to gain a better
trade entrance into the Black Hills
after the extension is in operation.
The rev and old mileage to the
Black Hills are as follows:
Present-St. Paul to Omaha, $40
miles, and Omaha to Deadwood, 500
miles; total, 936 miles.
New-St. Paul to Pierre, 427 miles:
Pierre to Rapid City, 165 miles, and
Rapid City to Deadwood, A miles; to.
tai, $50 miles.
The Minneapolis jobbers already
have made arrangements to take a

Many Ar Making Applications for
Land In Indian Reservation.
The next grand rush to get into the
government lottery for land will be
the Lower Brule opening this week,
SO far as the registration is concerned
with the drawing of Numbers the 14th,
and the right of filing given to the first
fifty numbers the goth Of the month.
From that date fifty applicants a day
will be cared for until all the land is
taken, or the applicants fail to make
good the filings to which they are en-
titled. Any of the tracts left open at
ter Dec. 20 will be secured by the first
homestead applicant who desires the
land.
The tract reaches from within six
miles of the new st. Paul railroad on
of the Northwestern line on the
north.
Just how many will take advantage
Of the opportunity to secure homes on
this tract is p~roblematic, but based
upon the hundreds of inquiries which
come to Pierre every day the number
registering will run into the thousands.
The government has set the price
upon the different tracts according to
the character of the land, running
from a minimum of s1.25 per acre up
to $3.50 per acre. This must be paid
one-fifth at the date of filing, and the
rest in five annual installments. The
applicant who fails to make any of the
annual payments forfeits his right to
the tract, and with it the payments he
has made. About Is per cen of the
land is classed at the $3.50 rate, and
the rest ranges in different sums down
to the $1.25 land.

Federal Grand Jury Hears About the
"Little Black Book"
Minneapolis, Oct. All day yester.
day the members Of the federal grand
jury listened to witnesses who were
supposed to know something about
the so-aclled little black book which
catalogue houses dealing in lumber
and manufactured articles claim has
been used by the lumber trust" in
an effort to ruin the mail order bust
ness. AS far as can be learned little
progress towards finding out who is
responsible for the book has been
made. Fully fifty witnesses will be
heard before the jury closes it's inves-
tigation.
r. Waterman Of the Waterman.
Hunter company, which was forced
out of business in Minneapolis last
summer. declares that his firm was
ruined by the effect of the little black
book" The sudden increase of re-
quests for expensive catalogues which
finally swanped the company is be-
lteved to be due to the book.
But what the jury is trying to find
out Is who wrote the book and what
charge can be made against the au-
thors. The book is so worded that it
gives no hint of any conspiracy to in.
jure the small catalogue houses. On
the other hand it starts out with a d.
rect appeal to the retailers, who Incl
dentally buy directly from the big
lumber firms, to meet the competition
of the mail order houses for their own
sakes. They are exhorted to watch
the catalogue prices and advertise
their own prices as low or lower than
the mail order houses offer.

Term Of Compulsory Attendance May
Be Shortened by School Board.
The new school law of the State Of
South Dakota which has just gone into
effect has made some sweeping effects
in the matter to which 1t pertains, es-
pecially in the organization Of sys-
TENS Of the public schools Of the state.
The subject of compulsory education
received considerable attention, max.

BILE for the attendance of pupils In the
schools between the ages Of eight and
fourteen years for the entire year or
term during which the school is held.
1t is in the power OF the board OF edu-
cation to reduce the time to sixteen
weeks, twelve of which must be con-
secutive. The fine that parents or
guardians r liable to is not less
than SO or more than $40 for each vi.
olation Of the compulsory law. The
law also fixes the mount Of high
school tuition which must be paid by
the district In which an eighth grade
graduate resides, at not to exceed 81

800 TEACHERS ARE WANTED.

Educational Department Unsb:e ts
Supply Demand.
The state educational department
estimates the shortage of teachers In
the state at between 700 and 800, and
finds 1t no easy matter to help the
county superintendent who desire
teachers to fill the schools. The rea
sons for this shortage are ascribed ia
different causes by different people.
but it Is found that in the counties
where the lowest wages are paid for
country teachers, tho shortage IL most
severely felt, while In the counties
with better wages there IL not so
much complaint, although this rule ID
not a set one. a. the shortage Is re-
ported from tho counties with better
wages al we'll as from those with low
wages. but not to such an extent.
The fact that teaching only gives
employment for . part Of the year.
and requires the teacher to be at an
expense Of keeping up" with the work
in the months when not employed ia
one probable reason for the shortage,
as the same effort applied to stenog.
raphy will III employment for
practically the whole time, with wages
as good or better than those paid In
the schools, is probably one Of the
reasons for shortage Of girl teachers,
and so far as men teachers are con.
cerned, there is hardly any manual la
Dor which does not pay larger returns
than does country school teaching,
with an assurance of more work days
in a year, with the present condition
in the Northwest with the labor supply
far below the demand. Whatever the
reason, the state wants teachers, and
in many cases 1t has been found neces.
sary to consolidate temporarily sever
al districts into one, to get schooling
for the children in the country.

WoMAN's SENSE OF HONOR.

Her Special Code for Conduct Toward
Her Husband.
A writer in Pail Mall Magazine says
that a we'll known American warder
said to him: Il have been In prisons

Discipline in the former is child's play

a man realizes there is no use in re.
sisting he gives in. But the women.
even when we put them in straight
jackets, always manage to extricate
at least n finger and to agitate that
in a rebellious manner!"
In the matter of conduct toward
husbands and consideration due to the
better half" there is an especial code
of honor. It has the stability that
sanction by women Of all countries
gives 1t, but 1t does not resemble any
code that a a would observe toward
another man, o which q woman
would employ toward any hummer
cept her husband. This code includes
the right to search pockets, consult
notebooks, open letters. read those al
ready opened. It includes the right to
confound household and personal q
counts, to use on self the money In.

paying bills. This system IL not ire

frequently admitted, no doubt, yet VI
