pRAcTIcING FIRE DRILL
Students in the City Schools are
Called Upon to go Through
With the Fire Drill

Since the Cleveland school horror
of a few days ago, where nearly two
hundred school children we've killed
in the fire. the thought is more than
impressed on the necessity OF
the fire drill in tue public schools.
The Mitchell schuuls observe the fire
drill quite frequently, and in con-
versation With Superintendent Hoif,
he said that thse grades show quite
an aptitude in responding to the
alarm when 1T is given by the jani-
tors. That the grades are not under
absolute control is shown. he says,
that in marching out OF tile building
one scholar will frequently attempt
to get ahead Of auother one, which
might precipitate a rush of all of
them IN the midst of tame or smoke.
In the high school department,
superintendent fIoff says, it is the
hardest to get into training. On
several occasions the fire alarm has
been sounded for the purpose of
p%racticing on getting out Of the
building in an orderly manner. Per
haps fifteen or twenty Of the students
elieving that there was no fire, and
that it was simply a practice drill,
refused to leave their seats and
march out with the others. 1t is
such Indifference as this that might
cause some disaster even in the local
school some day unless every student
responds to the alarm, whether there
be a fire or not. The practice will
make them perfect for the supreme
moment when it comes. and that is
the time when the previous practice
will enable the students to get out
in an orderly manpe In a practice
just a few days ago, Superintendent
Hoff saiu that the high school build
ing was emptied in. two aud one
half minutes.

SETTLERS STILL COMING IN
Iowa and Indiana are Contributing
of Thesr Farmers to Help Build
This State.

Dawson county is receiving its
share Of the new settlers coming
into South Dakota, and of late Iowa
aud Indiana are contributing quite
LARGELY to the building up of this
state. There have been a few
arrivals IN this city during the past
week, among whom are Sidney Casey,
of Bowton. Iowa, two cars, T. Nc
Donald. OF Elwell, Iowa, one car.
Fl. M. Ostert, of Maquoketa, Iowa,
one car, Sam Parker. of Rensselaer,,
Indiana, and o. L. McClurg with
one car from the same vicinity.
Several South Dakotans have moved
from localities in the state to Davi-
son county, and these are M. j..
johnson, Of Virgil, T. W. Reynolds,
OF Emery, both OF whom have
secured property on which to carry
on farming.
The above are meE who have un.
loaded their household goods and
farming implements at Mitchell. At
other points in the county, Mt. Ver-
non. Loomis and Ethan reports have
been sent in that the new settlers
have beer arriving at those places
for the past two weeks or more and
are locating on farms in the vicinity.
This spring Dawson county will in
all probability receive at least one
hundred new families as a result of
the emigration west, due in a large
proportion, to the activity Of tile
real estate agents who were exceed
ingly busy during the forepart Of the
winter in interesting the fasteners
with the good qualities of South
Dakota as a farming county.

The Importance of Dress

Neither virtue nor ability will
make you appear like a gentleman, if
your dress is ~slovenly and improper"
what can you dog" asked a pros
porous emrchant. while his keen
glance took in every detail of the
appearance of a shabbily. dressed,
slovenly young man who had applied
to him for a position. Most any,
thing, sir" was the reply. "Can you
do odd jobs. such as dusting?" Eyes,
sir" Then why don't you begin on
your hat?" The fellow twirled his
hat in his dirty hands and remained
silent. "Can you clean leather
goods!" Eyes. 1 can do anything in
that line" '"Then it is sheer care
lessness on your part that your shoes
are not clean. Can you scrub?" per-
sisted the merchant. eyes" Then I
can give you something to do. Go
out and try your strength ON that
collar you have on. But don't come
back"
The applicant for work turned
away, and it is to he hoped profted
by the lesson so harshly administered.
Shabby clothes are often the badge
of necessity rather than of slovenli-
ness; and when this is the case one
can have only sympathy for the wear
er. In this instance, however, it was
clearly the s%lovenliness of the young
man, not his shabbiness that pre-
JUDGED the merchant against him.
He may not have been able to afford
better clothing, but there could have
been no excuse for his soiled linen,
muddy shoes, du%st-covered hat and
coat, and generalsuntfdiness. a1 "
Neatness is a current coin in bust
ness, and the young man or young
woman who is regardless of it makes
a fatal mistake. Every one carries
with him, in his personal appearance,
a letter of recommendation or the
reverse, which has far more value
than any written testimony he may
present.

OBITUARY

Again 1T becomes our sad duty to
chronicle the death of a we'll known
citizen of Stickney, Thomas Dean
baving passed away at bis home, on
Main street, at 10 p. m.. March g.,

dilation and dropsy Of the heart,
resulting from the laprippe. He was
born in Canada, March 26, 1885, and
was u years, II months, and Z DAYS
of age, at the time. OF his Death. He
settled In Dawson county, South
Dakota. near Mitchell in 1880. While
living there he buried two compan.
ions, who Joined him in the walk Of

1t is seldom that death summons
one from the walks Of private life,
whose loss is so deeply felt. The
family, the church, the community,
unite in paying a tribute to his
memory. The estimation in which
he was held by the citizens. for his
sterling honesty and uprightness Of
his character. the station he occu-
pied. both as a member and trustee
of the church, the faithful manner
IN which be performed his duties as
the church treaurer, sacrificing his
own time, to look after the monied
interests of the church, render his
fall peculiarly affecting. Men who
knew him best loved him best. and
those who associated with him most
loved hin most. His sympathy was
always bestowed upon the %unfortu-
nate.
His religion extended into his
business transaction, and mingled
with his intercourse in daily life.
His piety vas intelligent, steady and
active. Its. flame never flashed out
to burn and bewilder and then die
away in darkness, but its steady
light was always manifest. He was
a tender and devoted husband. and
his fall has l%eft..a:chasm in the family
circle, which He alone can fill, who

less aud a husband to the widow.

offer to the afflicted relatives today,
is that when Jesus CONS to reward
