FOR HUMANITY SAKE.

We gladly give space to the fol-
lowing circular letter mailed from
the office of the superintendent of
the Tennessee School for the Blind
at Nashville:
Believing that you will wiling
ly give a moment of your valuable
time to the service of humanity, |
take the liberty of addressing you
in behalf of the blind children of
the State, who, in consequence of
their affection, are unable to at
tend the ordinary school and &C
quire the education deemed so nee
essary to the success and happi-
ness of the children of this gener-
alton.
There are more than one thous-
and of these unfortunate children
in Tennessee and some of them
may be found in every section and
in almost every community. Their
parents and friends seem inditfer-
ent to the great blessings which
this school freely offers all chill
dren with defective vision.
1t is erroneouly thought that
those only totally blind are admit
ted into this school. The privi-
lege is extended to every child of
school age who can not see to read
or who can only master lessons
with pain and difficulty.
If there are any of these chill
dren in your neighborhood | most
earnestly trust that you will tell
them of this institution and urge
them to apply for admission, there
by assisting in giving hope and
bringing sunshine to the hearts of
the poor helpless ones who now sit
in ignorance and darkness.
If you will kindly send me the
names of parents of any of these
children [ shall be greatly obliged.
Very respectfully,
j. V. ARMSTRONG,
Superintendent.

Warning BY State Fire Marshal.
Z State Fire Marshal Craft 10 send.

warning by StaCc Flre MARSHAL.
State Fire Marshal Craft is send
ing out letters of warning to fire
chiefs all over the state cautioning
them in their investigations of the
storing and handling Of gasoline. In
the letters he reports 60 fires in the
state since the first of July, of which
eight have been traced to the care
less handling of gasoline. The City
of Huron reports five fires, three of
which started from gasoline explo-
sions. In one case a fire was started
by man pouring gasoline from one
can into another while holding a
lighted pipe in his mouth, showing
that the gas from gasoline can be
exploded from a coal as we'll as a
blaze. The marshal orders the
greatest of caution in the storing Of
gasoline and asks that those who
handle it will keep it in open, de-
tached buildings to allow the escape
of the gas arising from it, instead of
allowing it to be confined where it
may explode with danger to firemen
in case Of their being called upon to
fight fire.

THE GOVERNMENT
May Aid South Dakota Ranchmen to
Exterminatc Wolves.

Exterminatc Wolves.
If the government adopts the plan
of the ranchers living in the western
part of Custer county, an expert
trapper will soon be employed to
protect the many tlocks and droves of
cattle in that section from the dep
relation of wolves. A press dispatch
from Custer, stating the matter,
says: Wolves in the open country
between here and Newcastle, Wyo.,
have always been numerous but
never before have their visits to the
ranches been so disastrous as during
the past summer when the ranchers
have lost, 1t is said, something like
IL per cent of their flocks and cattle.
The wolves are large buffalo wolves,
a couple of which can hamstring a
steer, and they seem SO fastidious in
their tastes that they ->ever come
back the second night to finish up the
killing of the night before but always
select another victim. The state,
county and stockgrowers' association
have all offered bounties aggregat-
ing $40 per head, yet few of the
wolves have been killed this year. z
When the ranchers appealed to
Supervisorg5J. r. Smith of the Black
Hills Forest Reserve, he in turn ask
ed the forestry department to en-
ploy Howard Wicker, an expert. to
thin out the wolves.

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA SEPTEMBER o. 1907
Picked Out Of the Ginger jar,

a man with red eyes and red nose and red
hair stood at the intersection of Main
and Sixth street one morning this week and
sneezed dolefully. 1t was not one of those
surprise sneezes that creep upon us unawares.
Not one of tkose titillant sneezes that cause us
to pucker the nose and wink the eyes and
catch the breath and then kachoo at the top
of the voice from sheer JOY in sneezng. That
sort OF sneeze is not vouchsafed to us every
day; it comes infrequenty. We do not care
then if we have been sitting in a draft; nor if
we have gotten our feet wet; the point is that
we have sneezed; most of us rejoice in it. A
sneeze Of that kind we will render glorously
and vallantly, as one would say to all the world
listen and hear what sneezing is when it IS
done by the boss sneezer of the universe"
We left the man with the red eyes and nose
and halr at the intersection sneezing, but it
does not matter. We could go away and leave
him there for four weeks, and he would sneeze
with the impersonal, mechanical regularity Of
a cuckoo cuckooing in a cuckoo clock. Now,
unto this man came Charley Matteson, with
kindly eye and pleasant smile-that good, old
Samaritan smile that won't rub off. "You've
got hay fever, haven't you9' The man with
red eyes, red nose and red hair, sneezed.
Tell you what'll cure you,'' said Charley,
q tried it and it, Say mister you aint
diagnosed my case right; it's combination
OF appendicitis and bubonic plague I've got, ?"

barber shop-fact is these places are no
longer called "shops"- are parlors. In
answer to the equisitorlal probe a knight Of
the razor in a spotlessly clean white frocl,
said, as he was rubbing in some witch hazel on
the smooth face of the man, 'syes, the barber
trade has improved wonderfully. BARRIERS are
better mechanics than they we're twenty years
ago" But, why so, Mr.. Foster? Well, the
improvement in the sanitary condition of par
lors has brought better men into the business
Then again, this business has increased in vol
ume about ten times, and with it the wages of
the workers have risen. In addition to shay
ing and hair cutting which was the only work
done in a shop when you first began your Wis
its, an up-to-date barber must now give face
massage, singing, shampooing and other things
which were luxuries few years ago. Today
they are common" Now then, don't think
that it took Walter Foster all this time to fix
the man up, forit did not, but during the time
we were in his chair his work was SO pleasingly
comfortable that we dreamed this out.

MEETING OF STATE BOARD
OF Railroad Commission to be Held
In Rapid City.

OF Railroad Commission to be Held
In Rapid City.
A special message has been receiv-
ed in this city stating that for the
convenience of the interested resi-
dents of the western half of the
state, a meeting of the state board
of railway commissioners will be held
here on October 10. This important
meeting was on the calendar for
September 26, at Sioux Falls. The
change will certainly be appreciated,
and should find representative
gathering of business interests in at
tendance.
The meeting is for the purpose
OF securing information which will
'ntelligently prepare and put into
effect new schedule of freight rates
i'll that part Of South Dakota lying
west of the Missouri river. Rates
east Of the river were adjusted by
the board last spring. But three
great railroad systems are interested
in the proposed new freight rates
west of the Missouri river-the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, the
Chicago and Northwestern and the
burlington. Each of them will have
representatives present at the Rapid
City meeting.
That the railroads will strenuous
ly oppose any reduction in freight
rates west of the river is assured.
They base their opposition on the
ground that that portion Of the state,
particularly the region between the
Black Hills, through which the new
extensions of the Milwaukee and
Northwestern railroads extend. is as
yet very sparsely settled and that it
may be years before the new lines
are operated at profit.
All jobbers and shippers who are
interested in the proposed reduction
of freight rates in western South
Dakota will have the right to appear
at the Rapid City meeting and fur
nish such information as they de-
sire relating to the promulgation and
putting into effect new schedule of
freight rates in that part of the state.
The Northwestern railroad now is
preparing a new schedule of freight
rates for its lines west of the Mis-
sollri river in South Dakota and it is
! expected this will be submitted to
the railroad commissioners at the
meeting in this city
