board and pressing the key pulls the
spring and releases the type. The piece
Of metal runs out onto a rapidly revolving
metal disc and is carried in twinkling
to the right of the operator where another
wheel with many small teeth seizes the
type, whirls it up and drops it face up
ward in narrow channel running across
the front of the machine. In this way
is produced long line of words. At the
left of the operator is small brass recep-
tacle called galley, just the width of a
column in the newspaper The long line
of type is divided into small lines the
width of the paper, correctly spaced out
and mechanically showed into the galley.
The spacing can be done by the operator
at the keyboard but in most offices
second person looks after that part, there
by doubling the capacity of the machine.
In the matter of distributing the type
for use again the Simplex is an even
more wonderful invention. When the
type has been used and the paper print
ed, the metal is again put into the small
galleys and is ready for distribution.
The big cylinder is composed of two
parts The lower part which holds the
type is stationary and does not move.
The upper part is the distributor and
revolves. The turn of wheel sets the
upper part in motion and each line of
type from the galley, which is snapped
into the holder seen on the left, is pushed
into groove in the cylinder until all are
full. The way in which no mistakes are
made in the distributing and all charac-
ters of a kind drop into the same slot is
quite wonderful. On each piece of type
are five hicks, and on every character
these hicks are differently placed so that
while all letters of the same character
are just alike, no two characters are
nicked alike. At the top of each groove
in the stationary cylinder are little par
titions so arranged that when each letter
comes around and arrives at groove
where the hicks in the type and the par
titions in the groove correspond, the type
drops into the cylinder and is ready for
use again. Thus two different charac-
ters cannot drop into the same groove

the high school course and any Of the
subjects are open to the students Of each
class. Aspecial room has been fitted up
in the second story Of the building for
the commercial work and a special
teacher has been engaged to have charge
Of this branch. The room is a bright.
sunny one, and while not yet fully
equipped, is well stocked with the neces-

and each channel always contains type
Of the same kind. The distribution does
not interfere with the setting of the type
and the two processes can be run at the
same time. 80 that there is no delay in

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The public schools in Dickinson are
rapidly forging to the front and now hold
their own with those of any town of this
size in the west. Through the untiring
efforts Of the superintendent. P. S. Berg.
who has given two years Of hard work in
the interests Of the schools, the standard
has been greatly. raised. The schools
are steadily increasing. I'M numbers and
already the present quarters are nearly
outgrown. The quality Of the teachers
has been greatly improved and year by
year they have been carefully selected
until now practically every teacher on
the whole staff is graduate Of good
normal school and in the high school
are all college graduates. During the
past year many changes in the high school
curric iculum have been made and this fall
saw the addition Of a full commercial
course. There have been a number Of
changes in the teaching force but all
have been for the better.
At the last recording made this week
the total enrolment was about SO, an
aggregate Of fully 20 more than at the
end Of the first month last year. The
prospects, are that by the end Of the first
month this year the increase will be even
larger. The total enrolment is divided
as follows: s.5 Z, u. .s
First primary. Della Spears, teacher.

l1fee OF the new model b Remington
type writers, the latest model out, have
been bought and also several long tables
for the use Of the students in short hand
and bookkeeping. The new course has
the following subjects for the four years
of the course: First year, commercial
arithmetic, writing and spelling; second
year, commercial geography and COM
mescial law; third year, bookkeeping. |;
fourth year, stenography, commercial
correspondence and typewritine. At
the present time there are As different
students taking one or more of the sub
jects in the course, total of over three
fifths Of the whole attendance. In taking
up the work of this course. it is neces-
sary as in all other courses that the
student have a total of 16 courses at the
time of graduation. to secure diploma.
Each course must aggregate q years
work in one study. and when only half a
years study is taken in subject, two
halves are necessary to count as one
course. Sd 81 fja; + 81
There are two new teachers in the
high school this year, Miss Mcmillan,
and Mr.. King. the science teacher. The
science part Of the course is very strong
Fand the labratory is finely equipped. All
of the teachers are graduates of some
college, Miss Turrell Of Carleton college,
MINI. Miss Putney Of Redield college.
South Dakota; Miss Mcmillan Of Gem
City business college, Quincy, III; and
Mr.. King Of Nebraska State university.
A number of changes have been made
in the building itself, the mostimportant
being the installation of four lavatories,
ne on each side Of the building on both
floors.
In the high school the total enrolment
is divided up as follows Freshman class
27, sophomore class 20, Junior class 10.
senior class IL, postgraduate 2.
A change has been made in the art
and music department apd Miss Louise
Campbell Clarke is the new teacher.
Miss Clarke has had quite q little exper-
ience in Minnesota and is taking hold Of
her new work in most pleasing man
+ner. More attention is to be paid to
these branches Of the, school and all the
grades up to the high school will receive
special instruct ions AZ soon as suhici-
emily good work has been in the art
studies. the work Of the scholars will Be
on exhibition at the art room.
Nowthat ths local schools are reaching

ter months and it may be some time
before the question is fully decided.
The armory is really the only place in
the city where anything of the Y. M. g.
A. order of entertainments could be es-.
tablished and from such building practi-
cally built by Dickinson people, itseems
a shame to exclude any young men Of
good character, who are willing to live
up to the rules of the ar1nory and do their
share to pay for the heating, lighting,
cleaning and to help out on the, new
equipment.
It will soon be cold weather and there
will be no place in the city for the young
men to congregate, visit and enjoy q.
few rounds Of harmless sport Outsiders,
that is, parties who are not members Of
Company X, or have no money interests
in the armory should expect to pay a
nominal sum for the privilege Of using
the ar1nory for social rendezvous and 1
place to meet their chins Ter some sore
Of friendly contest. At the same time
parties enjoying such privileges should
be required to live up to the rules Of the
armory. .s5s
!. The basket ball part is an assured
thing and it is almost a settled fact that
indoor base ball and bail
added to the list Of sports. The windows
are to be fitted with wire screens for the
basket ball and this will also serve for
the indoor and hand ball. Separate in
dividuals will provide themselves with
Indian clubs and dumb bells. The COM
pany now owns boxing gloves and mat
will be provided for the boxing contests !;
rapeze could be put in very easily and
many other things Of this kind could be
installed for small expenditure. 4.
Capt. Osborn is in favor Of any move
ment that will make the arnory a home
for the Dickinson boys but, at the same
time. he is greatly opposed to any changes
that will increase the armory debt. He
states that some of the subscriptions
counted upon to clear the contract debt
have not been cashed in and that what
ever is realized from basket ball games
and public entertainments will be turned
into the armory fund. The expenses
must be kept down. It costs consider
able to heat and light the armpry and
any extra expenses must be paid for by
those who are benefited.
Lient. Baker and Corporal Baird are
heartily in favor Of making the armory
a place Of amusement for young men and
school boys and would like the cosopera-
tion Of the young men and parents The
question will be taken up by Company
X at q meeting to be held in few days
and some definite plan may be formula
ted II Hyou are interestedlin the sarmory on
your own account or would like to have
your son enjoy the privileges Of the
building during the winter months, you
would do well to speak to Captain Osborn
in order that he may get some idea Of
the number Of outsiders who are willing
to help the thing along.

WASHINGTON RECORD SHOWS
QUAKE 2,4OO MILES AWAY.

WASHINGTON, March e1.--A slight
earthquake was recorded on the wen her
bureau se!snOgraphs Wednesday after
noon, beginning at hours. / minute. 4
seconds p. m. 18th meridian time. While
the disturbance WAS OF comparatively
ANAL intensity, the principal pha res
characteristic OF earthquake records
were very sharply defined
1t would appear from the records that
me origin or this ! sturbance was not
over 2,io0 miles from Washington. This
would place the epiccnter in the Pacific
Ocean west of Mexico or in northwest
ern South America or possibly within
the western portion OF the United
STATES.
