which will be visible in this part ol
the country will be the annualar
eclipse OF the sun on June 2S. There
was a total eclipse of the sun on
January B, Lut it was visible in only
the extreme northern part of North
America. The luner appulse will
occur December and there will be
another annular eclipse of the sun
December %.
The annular eclipse of the sun will
be visible in America as a partial
eclipse. A large portion of the face
of the sun will be eclipsed, and it
probably will be one of the most in
teresting natural phenomena of this
kind which has taken place and which
was visible in North America for
some time. In part of western Africa,
Florida and Mexico it will be visible
as an annular eclipse, only small
part of the suns disk being visible in
the form of light circle around the
moon.
The lunar appulse, which, as mat
ter of fact, means an approach of the
moon towards the shadow of the earth,
will occur December Z but is of little
interest excepting to astromers and
scientists.
The last eclipse of the year will be
an annular eclipse of the sun on
December %. This Will be seen only
in the extreme southern hemisphere.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The animal convention Of the coun-
ty Sunday school association was
held in De Smet last Thursday and
Friday.
The stormy weather interefered
with the attendance of many outside
delegates who expected to be present
and as consequence some items on
the program were missing, but the
convention was inspiring and instruc-
tive to all who attended. Those who
had the convention in charge as well
as those in attendance expressed
themselves as well satisfied.
The addresses by Rev. f. p. Leach
and Miss Olive Tooker, both state
workers, were of high orderand much
appreciated. The following delegates
from out of town were registered:
0. E. and Sumner Stearns, of Mad
ison; Myrtle Johnson and Annie Spar
by, of Hetland; Mr.. and Mrs. G. S.
Knipe and Oneta Salley, of Airing
ton; Nellie Perkins, Opha Stephen
son, Minta Williams, Alma Wing, E.
S. Ostroot, Ben Lewis and Floyd
Webster, of Lake Preston; Mrs. Mar
tin Madison, Belle and Mary Leach,
and Mrs. A. Steffy, of Manchester;
Mrs. ID Patterson. Mrs G. q. Patter
son and Beatrice Patterson, Of Lake
Henry; Olive Tooker, Leola; Harold
Doner, of Osceola; Elias AplanG; of
Drakola; and Niva Tubbs, Of Ifoquois.

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev, II. Preston.
The relations existing between
teacher and scholar, maturity and
youth, suggests to us that deep, nat
ural order which insures that the
young should evermore step into the
places of the old and carry on the
progress of the world.
The wise worker has learned the
truth that the necessary man does not
exist. and that all the work we do is
incomplete in itself it is but an in
stallment in the plan of universal pro-
gress.
The truly great and magnanimous
man draws TO himself, SO far as he is
able, the young, teaches them his
methods and cheerfully anticipates
the time when they will take up the
work which falls unfinished from his
hands.
The youth who is magnanimous and
noble hearted will rejoice to be the
humble pupil of the one who is fit to
instruct him. He will learn to serve,
that hereafter he may be able to rule.
How complete and significant is
that tie which binds the teacher and
the scholar, when it is the common
bond of great religious ideal? 1t
becomes then, more than the dramatic
association of maturity with youth.
Association with christian people,
especially in Gods House, in the act
of worship; is calculated to develop
that aptitude for reverence, that
power of restraint, that spirit of hero
ism, all of which are so essential 10
success

SOLVING THEIR OWN PROBLEM

Immigrants into the United States
are themselves offering reassurances
to those who have feared this country
would be buried under an avalanche
from Europe's overcrowded nations,
says the Sioux Falls Press. In the
month of May, only $4,000 aliens
landed in this country; $4,000 aliens
sailed for their old homes. In the
same month of 1907, l98,000 arrived
and $1,000 left. Since last October
when an incipient panic appeared
$4,000 aliens have left the United
States while only 10000 have arrived.
Those who became alarmed by the
arrived of l,285,000 immigrants in
1907 will find in these figures that
which should calm them. At the
present rate, the year 1905 will detract
from our population by emigration,
instead of adding to it by immigra-
tion.
Plainly enough the aliens do not
want either to come to the United
States or stay here if thereis not room
for them. Communication with Europe
is too cheap and too easy for the stu
alton to fail to adjust itself. The law
to supply and demand may be relied
on to govern the movements of immi-
grants. Ifwages are lower in Europe,
the cost of living is also. Stories of
fortunes made in the United States
lure many who are living comfortably
enough in their own land Their iner-
tia will always make certain that they
will not be moved unless there is pow
erful attraction

admittedly constitutional country;
and now it has refused by a decisive
vote to adopt the premiers program
for building four first-class warships.
Surely, that is a list of things ac-
complished that transcends in i'm
portance all the revolutionary and
constitutional democratic parties were
able to do.
The influence of foreign opinion on
the trend of affairs has been very
great. The decision of the great
financiers to float no more Russian
loans, until they were approved by
the duma, has had a powerful effect,
and has given the duma a dignity and
a standing quite remarkable and al
together unforeseen. The premier
himself, conservative in words, liberal
in acts. The czar has seemed power
less to prevent the tremendous changes
so quietly made, and has steadily
supported his ministry
Thus things move in Russia, coun-
try of mystery, when least expected
to do so. Minneapolis Tribune.

ESPECIAL" AND IRREGULAR"

Secretary Cortelyou defines the
terms of the currency act relating to
interest on deposits. Under that act
only those deposits in banks which
are entered on the treasury books as
special" and additional" are requir-
ed to pay interest, the minimum of
rate to be ! per cent and as much
higher as the secretary ofthe treasury
may exact Those deposits classed
as regular" by the secretary Will pay
no interest.
Secretary Cortelyou announces that
the rate of special deposits shall be
the minimum prescribed by the act.
Almost the entire deposits made last
fall were classed as special and the
Withdrawals since have reduced the
total on deposit to Sl53,000,000. OF
this S53,000,000 are regular" and will
pay no interest, and the remaining
Sl00,000,000 will pay per cent.
The discretionary power of the
secretary to make deposits either reg
ular or special and thus let some
banks have public funds without
compensation while others pay the
rate he may fix, makes the favor of
that official in banking circles thing
to be desired. Senators and repre-
sentatives, who have heretofore be-
sought deposits for their bankers, will
now exert their influences to have
deposits made regular Add to
this the discretion lodged with the
secretary 10 pass on the questions OF
an existing emergency and of approx
al or disapproval of the securities
offered for issues of emergency notes,
and the secretary becomes very
powerful factor in finance; rather too
powerful for the good of the repub-
lie. Sioux City Tribune.

RUSSIA GROWS CONSTITUTIONAL.

Russia is the country of mystery.
1t is the unforeseen that always hap
pens there, and the manner of its
happening can never be foretOld,
After going thru period of dire dis
order and revolutionary riot, when it
seemed as if the Russian people were
at last awakened and would seize
their freedom despite the bloody oppo-
sition of the autocracy, the forces OF
reaction gained the upper hand. The
first duma was dismissed in disgrace,
the second Jared little better, and the
third, elected under carefully restrict
ed plan, was supposed to be the sub
missive tool of the government. Reac-
ton was triumphant, autocracy was
secure, and constitutionalism was
dead.
Yet it now appears that, almost
imperceptibly, Russia is being carried
over into frank and avowed constitu-
tionalism This has been brought
about by variety of causes, workiE g
thru the duma itself, the premier, the
crown and foreign public opinion.
There seems to have been no conscious
effort on the part of any of these
agencies to bring about the changes
Indeed, the crown and Premier Stoly-
pin, the cars most trusted servant,
have stoutly resisted this tendency.
But, in spite of everything. the duma
has been gathering to itself important
parliamentary powers. 1t has even
taken some of them from the crown,
Warranted patriotic, obedient and
conservative, the duma began by
denying to the czar the title of ''auto-
crat." 1t refused him the elementary
prerogative OF raising legation 10
the rank of an embassy, which even
the president of a republic possesses;
it broke down his barriers about the
foreign ministry and made the min.
istry amenable to its authority; it
brushed aside as unconstitutional a
decree of the car, thus making Russia

RESULT OF THE PRIMARY.

Last week while nearly all the pro-
gressive papers in the state claimed
the success of that faction at the pri-
mary, and nearly all the stalwart pa
pers conceded it, the INDEPENDENT an
nounced the defeat of Cassil, the pro-
gressive candidate for treasurer, and
a close call between Glass and Burke.
The latest reports are to the effect
that Burke is nominated over Glass,
and that Martin has probably defeat
ed Hall. The vote between the latter
will be very close and it may take the
official count to decide it.
In Kingsbury county the entire
progressive ticket was nominated, al
though the vote between Stoner and
Armstrong for the legislature was
very close, Stoner winning out over
Armstrong by only six votes. The
stalwarts elected three members of
the delegation to the state conven.
tion and the state committeeman.

THE Argus Leader in its issue OF
June 10th says, in regard to the tax
ing of interest on state funds by the
state treasurer:
"The attention of the attorney gen
eral has been called in very distinct
and detinate way to this matter, and
he should serve notice on the state
treasurer at once once that the prac
tice must cease, In the event that il
does not, the state treasurer should
be sued for the amounts paid after
formal notice is served"
But why say treasurer" instead OF
"treasurers"? Is there any good rea
son why the present treasurer should
be made to dig up" and allow each
treasurer who has preceded him to
retain the interest secured in the
same way? IF there is to be an effort
to recover such interest, let it be fair
and apply to all.
