III MEET.
Session az Pierre One Of the Most euc
cAssfuI. Ever AaId

Session at Pierre one Of the Most euc-
cessfuI Ever Held.
The three days meeting OF fhe
county superintendent which was
closed at Pierre is pronounced by the
visitors to have been n Of the most
successful of such meetings ever held
In the sttae. All the counties except
Roberts, Hanson and Buffalo were
represented, and the failure 10 re-
spond on the part of at least two Of
these was illness. Most or the time
of the session was taken up In short
discussions and interchange OF IDEAS
among the superintendents, of matters
which they must meet insthe everyday
conduct of the affairs OF their office.
One half day Of the regular program
was scattered the rest OF the session
to allow the superintendents to hear
a talk on manual training, with the
tools and materials for the work on
hand to illustrate tn etalk, and a num-
Der of them took advantage of the OPP
p~ortunity to get a little practical train
ing In that line for themselves.
Last week the visitors as guests Of
the city were taken In automobiles,
and shown over the city generally, and
taken out into the couatry for short
rides to give them an opportunity to
see what this part Of the state looks
like behind the hills which surround
the city. Wednesday evening Judge
Whiting of the supreme court deliv-
cred a lecture on school law, after
which the superintendent attended a
reception which was rendered to them
at the home Of State Superintendent
Ustrad. The meeting was voted a
success In every way, and all the Wis
itors went home feeling that their
time had been well spent.

DECLARED DEAD BY COURT.

But Desdwood Man Who Dropped
From Sight May Still Be Living.
Although Richard Griffin may still
be numbered among the living, off,
cially he is recognized rs dead. Rela-
tives of Griffin, who went to Alaska
ten years ago to seek a fortune, APP
peared in the county court at Lead
and offered evidence which resulted
in Grimm being declared dead and his
estate placed in probate.
Until ten years ago Griffin was a
resident Of Lead. In 1893 he went TO
Alaska and three years later his
wife here received a letter from him,
saying he was i'll and needed money
to come home. She raised the funds,
and when ready to send them found
that Griffin had disappeared. Every
effort was made to locate him through
the oficials of Seattle and Alaska
towns, but to no avail, and hope was
given up. His wife Is now dead and
only a niece survives.

CLARIFIED BY DAIRY TESTS.

tuberculosis Found In Herds Owned
by State institutions In South Da.
kota.
An examination recently made Of
the dairy herds owned by the various
state institutions disclosed conditions
that are certain to produce a state
wide sensation. All the officials con-
cerned refuse to talk for publication,
but enough vi the discoveries made IN
the tests Of the mich cows has
leaked out to startle the public.
AS a courtesy to the state the blu.
reau of animal industry, which is al
lied with the agricultural department,
consented to examine the herds at the
South Dakota institutions, and DR.. j.
p. Foster of Huron, formerly state
veterinarian and now in the federal
bureau, was detailed to conduct the
tests.
With an assistant he examined all
the dairy cattle at the state peniten-
tiary in Sioux Falls, the asylum for
the insane at Yankton, the institute
for the blind at Gary. the reform
school at Plankington and the insti-
tute for the feeble-minded at Red.
field.
At the penitentiary seven out of
thirty head were killed as diseased
and at the hospital for the insane
twelve out of sixty were slaughtered.
The four cows at Gary were found to
be healthy, but the results at Plank
ington and Redfeld have not been
made known.
The significance of these examina-
tions grows out of the unusual care
the dairy herds of the htate institu-
tion have received, and the question Is
asked how many ordinary mich cows
are healthy If those receiving unusual
attention are in part diseased. All
the cows killed seemed healthy to the
ordinary observer, with sleek hair and
plump sides. 1t Is understood the tn
beculin test was chiefly employed in
making the examinations, and in nc
case did those declared diseased TAI
to prove the diagnosis.
The incident is likely to revive the
agitation in South Dakota for regula
ton and examination of dairy cattle
1t is a remarkable fact, yet well es
tablished by Nathan Strauss in his
Investigations of the subjec, that the
finer the breed of the cow and the
better her care, the more susceptible
she becomes to tuberculosis. AS South
Dakota has been turning more ano
more to thoroughbred stock in the last
few years, the condition of the dairy
cattle Of the state is a source O
anxiety to the consumers of milk and
butter.

STOCK SALE Is AssAlLEo.
Ole Brown Of Minneapolis Involved In
Mining Suit.

Ole Brown Of Minneapolis Involved In
Mining Suit.
The case of Henry o. Anderson VS..
the Gambia Mining syndicate has been
before Judge Taylor In chambers for
argument on a demurrer to the COM
plant.
While the officials of the company
are nearly all residents Of Chicago,
the main Office is located in Huron.
After its incorporation little was done
to advance the interests of the COM
pany, it is alleged, and its stock was
regarded as of little value. The
properties OF the company are located
at Nome, Alaska, Finally one man
became the owner OF a large block
of stock, and soon thereafter it devel-
oped that the property was of Inn
mense value, estimated at from So
O0O, 000 to $4,000 900. Former stock
holders, alleging the belief that fraud
had been p~racticed, became anxious
again to possess an interest in the
syndicate, and brought suit, with that
end in view, contending that the price
paid for the stock was far below its
real value.
The principal subscribers for stock,
as named in the proceedings, are A.
J.. Spute and g. J. Johnson. both of
Denver. 2 5000 shares each, and
ole Brown of Minneapolis, $1.250,000
shares.
Judge Taylor took the matter un-
der advisement, and will give an opin-
ion In q few days.

Topics Of Interest

Ea" ~
Reports to the state land depart
ment show that at the sale of state
lands In Miner county the receipts
amounted to owe sixty thousand dol
lars, the average selling price Of the
lands in that county being $44 an
aero.
The report of condition OF the state
treasury at the close of business April
80 showed s92, 1886 in the general fund;
S2S6,396 in the Irvine plant fund; $685.
2a6 IN the canitoi hnilding fund, and
1907, 969 In the interest and income
fund for the benefits of schools of the
state, to be distributed in June to the
different counties.
That real estate values are on the
up grade In Stanley county is shown
by many sales being made at about
$40 an acre, but the highest holding
for farm land near Fort Pierre is that
of the Hemphill place, six miles out
on the old Deadwood trail, which Is
held at $50 IN acre, and to show that
he means 1t the owner last week re-
fused an offer of $43 an acre for the
place.
Tt:
Deadwood Is to have a new up-to-
date A. ID. t. system which will be
installed by the Western Union. The
same system in operation in the large
Eastern cities is to be installed by
men who will come to Deadwood from
Omaha for the purpose. For some
years past there has been no regular
A. I'D. T. system at Deadwood, and
the business interests will greatly ap-
preciate the change.
An indication of the thrift of the
Homestake miners, many of whom
are depositc RS in this bank, is shown
by the statement of the First National
Bank of Lead, which now has on de-
| post a sum slightly in excess Of one
million dollars in its savings and time
departments. The statement shows
the bank to be in better shape finan.
cially than at any time in its career,

On account of the failure of the

each claiming the right to make the
assessment, and levy and collect taxes
ON a strip Of country about twenty
miles long and a mile and a half wide.
When the boundary OF Lyman county
was fixed the Black Hills survey was
used as a basis, and the law extends
the line along such survey to the river
on the line between townships two
and three north. But before this line
reaches the river II runs into the old
survey, in which the township lines
do not meet by about q mile and q
half. Lyman county claims 1t was the
intent of the Legislature to make the
township line the boundary, and Stan
ley claims that the boundary was liked
as II is by law. and that their juris-
diction extends to the line regardless
OF townships. The commissioners OF
the two counties acting jointly might
settle the matter temporarily, but leg
islative action will be required for a
permanent settlement OF the dispute.
While Pennington county boundaries
are not In dispute In any way. both
the north and south lines of that coun-
ty fail to correspond with township
lines, which would be very awkward
in case the divided township desired
local organization.

FRIGHTENING INDIANS.
Authorities at Agency Mystified as to
Identity of Demented Man.

t0entity OF OcWcntcu MdHs
The authorities at the Crow Creek
Indian agency are considerably mysti-
fed as to the identity of a strange
and apparently demented nan who
for several days has been frightening
the Indians on the reservation by his
queer antics. 1t is believed he is an
escaped inmate of some insane asy-
FUN or some farmer who suddenly has
become insane and wandered away
from his home to the reservation.
Thus far he has shown no violent
tendencies, but the authorities fear he
may become violent at any time and
do injury to some Of the residents
OF the reservation before he could be
taken captive.

Korean Newspapers.

A few years ago the only paper pub
lished in Korea was a little court circu-
lar which gave the commands of the king.
1t was printed with a brush and its cir
~culation numbered but a few hundred. To-
day there are Japanese papers in all the
large ~centers, and in Seoul there are four
dailies printed in Korean. The capital has
also three japanese dailies, and an English
newspaper. the Seoul Press, owned and
edited by Mr.. zumoto, q very able Japa-
hese journalist. The Press is looked upon
as one OF the organs of the government,
and at present 1t is the only foreign news
paper published in Korea. Not long ago
there was an English edition Of the Daily
News, an Enforcement organ, but this
has been discontinued for ~inancia rea-
sons.
The Korean Daily News, printed in 10
rean, is the organ Of the anti-Japanese
party. 1t is a bright paper and well edited.
1t has the ablest of Korean writer's and
its circulation is large. Like all news
papers, 1t is subject to the government
censorship; and may be suspended, without
notice, at the will of the officials. For
this reason It's writers ave to be careful
as to their expressions, and many of its
most severe articles are those which have

having rope ladders to the tops, will be

poses. A similar tower of far greater
dimensions, to be erected In the vicinity Of
the ship, will enable us to conduct stimuli
taneous observations from the three cor
ners of a triangle, and will be part Of our
wireless outfit. We shall dispatch mes
sages by wireless to our station at Point

II believe that before the voyage ends We
shall come upon new lands to the star
board of our course, lands forming the
counterparts OF New Siberia, Franz josef
Land and Spitzbergen on our port side.

be caused by land masses on our starboard

I'VE shall give special attention to mag
netic work, our purpose being to make a
series of magnetic observations relating
to the direction Of the compass needle with
reference to the true north, the dip Of the
magnetic needle and the strength or meas
ure of the force exerted by the earth's
magnetism in compelling the needle to set
itself in some definite direction and not at
~haphazard. This work will be in harmony
with that OF the expedition now operating
at sea in the lower ATTITUDES under the
auspices of the Carnegie institution, and
for which the nonmetallic yacht, the Car
negie, was constructed in Brooklyn. We
therefore realize the dream Of Alex
ander Won Humboldt three-quarters Of a
century ago-the completion Of a general
magnetic survey Of the globe, embracing
sea and land, within a comparatively short
period OF time, instead OF and
