In and About the State
MISREPRESENTATION SCHOOLS HIT

Cannot Send Solicitors for Pupils tc
Agencies.
The authorities of the various non
reservation Indian schools throughout
South Dakota are greatly worried over
the future of their schools because
Of an order which has been promul
gated by Commissioner Leupp Of the
Indian bureau at Washington pro-
hibiting them from in future going in
person or sending agents to the Indian
reservations for the purpose of so.
Letting Indian pupils for their schools,
Heretofore, in order to secure even
a fair attendance of Indian children
at the non-reservation schools 1t has
been necessary for the superintend'
ents or their assistants to visit the
Indian reservations and induce chill
dren to attend the schools. Had this
not been done the attendance would
not have been sufficient to warrant
the schools in being run.
Among the non-reservation Indian
schools which will be seriously af-
fected by the order of Commissioner
Leupp are those at Rapid City, Cham.
berlain, Springfield, Flandreau, S. D.,
and the Indian school at Pipestone,
Mimi. Practically all of these schools
have become mammoth institutions,
and the attendance has averaged
we'll, but this has been accomplished
only by the superintendent and their
assistants being able to visit the va
rious Indian reservations of the North
west states to secure pupils ror the
schools.
These pupils come from the reser-
vations of Wisconsin. Minnesota,
Some fear that the order, II not re-
scinded, will result in the closing of
at least some Of the schools at the
places mentioned.
II the order remains in effect the
non-reservation schools will have to
depend solely upon the United States
Indian agents in charge Of the various
reservations voluntarily to send pu-
pills to the non-reservation schools,
and as the agents have the Indian
schools IN the reservations to look
after, it is practically certain that no
pupils will be SEN to the n~on-reser-
vation school.
Those who favor the reservation
schools as against the non-reservation
institutions endeavored during the re-
cent session Of congress to have an
act passed along the same lines as
the order of Commissioner Leupp, but
congress failed to take any action.
Those who have the interests of the
non-reservation Indian schools at
heart now propose organizing for the
purpose of calling upon such senator's
and congressman, as they can infu-
ence to take the matter up with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. and, If possible, Sc
cure a modification of the order of
Commissioners Leupp pending action
by congress upon the non-reservation
school matter.

Pierre.
Pierre people gathered early Thurs
day to watch the formal action which
means that the capitol is firmly
anchored in that city for all time to
come. While the official program
was not scheduled to begin until 1880
in the afternoon. the crowd began to
assemble soon after noon, and before
the opening of the exercises every
window in the old building which
would give a view was filed and ev-
cry point of vantage taken. The ma
tional coiors floated from the new
building, and the only thing to bring
discomfort to any was the stiff breeze
which OCCASIONAL brought the dust
from the south.

Gen. Beadle spoke at length, taking
as his theme the progress of free
government implanted first in North

developed in America, growing in it's
scope and increasing the liberty OF
the individual with the growth of the
country to the westward, settled by
the most progressive of the European

which will continue the progress of

winning point. Friday Trinity and
S. w. [. met on the Southwestern S

off. The two teams seemed to be
somewhat evenly matched, but by
getting hits when they were needed
won the game for Trinity. The North
Texas boys went into the game to
win, even, if things did look some
what bad at first But that awful
thing, defeat-entered their mind
land so the score was 3 to 3 in favor
of the maroon and white.
Rocket was placed in the right
garden Although not getting a
chance to put out anyone, he planted
the horse hide for two nice hits and
one time only to bring in the win
ming score. Bruce Templeton came
near parking the ball with two men
on bases. Daniels had perfect con-
troll and worked beautifully, while
Bowers and Ayers seemed to be
somewhat wild. McLain, Southwes-

ing a nice catcher and hitter Trinity
ends her trip on today with S. w. Z.
