Band Played for Dead Chinaman.

banQ IlayeO o Dead
Spokane, Wash, April 11.-While
Eng Kong, merchant prince and head
of the local Chinese colony clad in
his gayest raiment, was being escort
ed to the railway station en- route
for China where he will wed a little
s%lant-eyed damsel he left behind 20
years ago, the remains of Wong
Pong, a laundry worker, were laid at
rest in Paramount cemetry. Wong
was popular with the denizens of his
tong and they provided a brass band
of - pieces, directed by Adolphe
Schmidt. A Christian burial service
was read at the grave. 1t was plan
ned to have the band turn out for
Eng, "but," said the traveller as he
left his shop, 81 think poor Wong
will get a better send-off if you have
the musicians play at his funeral,
besides l am coming bacA while he
will not travel over the road again."

Can HIRE SCHOOL TEACHERS
Attorney General Clark Holds That
Present Boards of Education
Can Make Contracts.

Since there was a change in the
school law made " the last legisla-
ture which requires that boards Of
education be elected in June, some
controversy has arisen as to the au-
thority of the present boards in hir-
ing reachers for next fall. A great
many requests have been sent to the
attorney general on this proposition,
and concerning his attitude on the
matter a Pierre dispatch gives the
following statement:
attorney General Clark has been
looking into the matter since he
now holds that he will be compelled
to differ with his predecessor in that
regard. Mr.. Clark holds in effect
that a school board is a continuing
body even if, from any cause, the
membership of the board is changed
in it's entirety at one time. That as
such a continuing body it can con-
tract for a teaching force for a year
in which non OF The old membership
may remain as a part of the board.
In other words that the individual
ity of the membership Toes not make
the board, it is a fixed legal organi-
zation, and as such it's Official exist-
ence. That most of the authorities
have held that even in case where a
board has employed a teacher to pre-
vent a new membership following
from taking such action, if the teach
er was an innocent party in the
transaction the contract can be en-
forced. That under present condi-
tions in South Dakota the present
boards would be working in the best
interests of the schools in every way
by making contracts when teachers
are available."

form. My only shrine is the love of
the home, and let me say in addition
that no man has a right to tempt a
boy under the age of t%wenty-one
years with whiskey or liquor Of any
kind. You must not do 1T. You
shall not do it! That is my plat
form. For more than a quarter of a
century l have been wit hyou here,
my family have been raised here.
Here is my home and it is dear to me.
Every tree, every flower, every blade

ing nor pleases me than to ride
about the city and see what it's pio-
neers have zone to make = the sweet
est, the best, the, most beautiful city
that there is today in the state Of
South Dakota.
Now gentlemen, be honest with
yourselves, careful, c~onsiderate.
Don't go into this campaign and lose
sight of the fact that the welfare of
Mitchell is at heart. We have said
in the past that our municipal cleo
tions, exciting as they have been,
that we know no democrats, we know
no republicans, we know no so-called
stalwarts or insurgents. We were
all good citizens Of Mitchell,
that above everything else and no
partisan polltics could stand in the
' way, and come up under the wire
and line up all-every man-on one
| side or the other for the best inter-
ests and the welfare Of Mitchell. That
is what l wish you would try and do
in this campaign.
Again: There must and shall
be, what we call mud singing, wiped
out Of this campaign, if l am your
candidate. For the gentleman who
is likely to be the candidate against
me, l have none but the kindest
! words. | have known him for a
quarter of a century-an honored
and respected citizen of this commun-
ity--and il l shall hear it said by
any friend of mine that he is indulg-
ing in mud-slinging, no matter how
strong a supporter of mine that man
may be, l shall call him on the carpet
and tell him to quit.

Occasional attacks Of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and dir
zy spells are common early symptoms
of kidney disorders. It's an error
to neglect these ills. The attacks
may pass off for a time. but return
with greater intensity. If there are
symptoms of dropsy-puffy swellings

ankles, or any par. of the body,
don't delay a minute Begin taking
Doan's Kidney Pills, and keep up
the treatment until the kidneys are
we'll, when your old time health and
vigor will return. Cures in Mitchell
prove the effectiveness of this great
kidney remedy.

 The Model Market Co has hired one of the stores in the Russell Duild- ing, Bank street, for the storage of its heavy receipts of Richelieu brand of canned vegetables and fruits. This line of goods has found such favor with the particular trade in Waterbury that the Model has found this move to be necessary in order to properly arrange and distribute the goods of which it has received TWO solid carloads, which will all go out immediately on orders taken here last spring by the large packing firm of Sprague, Warner Co. Waterbury is considered now to be among the largest users of eastern cities of this high class of canned products. The Model Market Go thinks that nothing is too good for Waterbury.

This is what it has come to. Hear
what the Weston colonel has to say /:
at will be like losing tooth or Looping
off an ear. but nevertheless the Leader
is evidently doomed to part with
numter of old and valued subscribers.
These are people who pay every fall as
regularly as the season comes, but do
not pay in advance and cannot under
stand the reason for doing SO, kno wing
themselves to be as good as wheat.
From their standpoint they are right;
from ours, wrong. We can see where
the credit system has lost US $3.50
year for 13 years, oran aggregate OF
more than $4,000. We intend to toler-
ate no more of it if we lose every sub
soriber on our books aud have to start
anew. As a matter of fact, however,
$50 subscribers have already paid in ad-
vance, and enough more are sare to
respond to the notices sent out this
week to render our new system a graf
flying success. We want to be certain
in future that subscriber wants the
papeI-it's only small country
weekly, anyway, and quite hum BILE and
modest. If patron doesn't want the
paper badly enough to pay for it in
advance, we are perforce compelled
to part with him. By the 1st of No
vember the Leader will not have a
single delinquent subscriber on its
books, and it will be blessed with as
clean and satisfactory a subscription
list as any country paper i'll Oregon.
The editor will positively know when
he produces copy on the old reliable
Washington hand press that he is get
ting paid for it--and the editor now
has a well-delined prejudice in favor
of getting paid for everything he does
in the line of subscriptions, advertising
or job work.

The predicted failure of crops in the
Inland Empire this year was itself
the failure. The crops were not
"bumper," were somewhat short of
the normal, in some localities were
light; but on the whole the harvest is
large, and the prices are such that the
harvest of gold will be perhaps even
greater than the average. The Spo-
kane Spokesman Review estimates a
total crop of grain for eastern Wash
ington, eastern Oregon and the Pan
handle of Idaho of 60.000,O0 bu-
shells. and that the total expense of
harvesting it was $6,OO0,O 900, or only
10 cents a bushel. Supposing that all
the other expenses of production-of
course only rough estimate can be
made-are 20 cents bushel more, and
the average price received, with
wheat at rs cents preponderating, is
IS cents a bushel, there is a net total
profit of $21 100000 on grain alone for
that region. This is perhaps $40
apiece for every human being in all
that region. So, though the wheat
harvest was light as compared with
last year, the farmers of the inland
empire as a whole will not suffer from
poverty or privation until another and
q greater harvest comes around.
