ARREST HUSBAND

investigation of Reported Sui.
eide Results in Detention Of
Brakeman.

Mitchell, S. D., June est VIII be re-
membered about a month ago an item
was published announcing hat Mrs.
Jesse Hendricks, of Running Water,
committed suicide. The woman and her
husband had some words about his
playing baseball on Sunday, but he
finally went out TO the grounds and
played. On his return in the evening
the husband and wife had some ak
about his playing ball on Sunday, and
enthusiastically and every nan present
was made a member In good standing
by pledging SIS per year for the support
OF the club. The following were then
named and Endorsed as directors of the
Commercial club: w. E. Upton, w. T..
Mcconnell, j. S. Daniels, John Michels,
70. G. Drake, w. II. B~roadbent and A.
b. Hager. A committee was also named
to further solicit among the business
men and increase the OF the
club for building up the city.
1t was decided unanimously to hold
a once every month at the
call of the commissioner. The feeling
among the business men is that these
gatherings are very helpful and that
the more they got together the more
unar1irnity there would be in the adj
V~ancernent of the city's interests. An
nnlal banquet Of the business men
has been a regular feature, but it Is
thought that by having these meetings
closer together their usefulness could
be greatly Increased.

UNABLE TO LOCATE
SANlTARlUM SITE

Parker, S. D., June 26.-It Is a
nounced by the state board of charities
and corrections after a trip over Gus
ter county that they cannot find a To-
cation for the new state s%anitarium for
tuberculosis patients placed there by
the recent legislature, for the unusual
reason that there isn't any available
land.
They found that practically all OF the
cou. Z is IL the forest reserve lands
reserved by the government and that
they can not find In the occasional
tracts homesteaded any that could even
be considered for the home. Accord
tngly they are proceeding to select a
site on government land and will ask
congress to appropriate $40 acres for
the purposes of the home.
1t is planned to c the home near
Sylvan lake, the most beautiful spot in
the Black Hills, a district prolific of fine
scenery. The altitude will be $500 feet,
lished for consumptives in Colorado by
the Woodnen lodge. 1t will be neces-
sary for the home to have a consider
able amount of tiIlable land, on which
to produce feed for stock. Patients in
such sanitariums must be given a great
deal of milk and eggs and, because it
wiz be located In the heart OF a district
OF government land. feed for mich
cows would command q p%rohibitive
price. The legislature allowed $40, GOO
for the first expenditure to the con-
struction Of the buildin for the camp.
The board, however, expects to appoint
the superintendent in the zeal future,
that he may begin a campaign Of edu-
cation such as was carried on by the
superintendent of the Iowa home, be-
Iore IT was opened at iowa City.

1T will be seen tina not only
is the amount to be realized this
year from the states permanent
common school fund greater than
that of any previous year, but
that the increase will be much larger
than ever before shown. AT the same
rate of growth the apportionrnent In
19l4 Will amount to $750,000. and it is
likely that the rate of increase will
grow. rather than diminish.
The total amount of taxes levied in
n school districts of South Dakota in
1907, according to the last report of the
state auditor, was So, 293, 1871. Some
OF the school taxes We're included in the
city taxes, so hat the total for that
year was about $1,000, 600. Allowing a,
10 per cent increase, the cost of the pub
lie schools of South Dakota for this
year would be So $780, 900. That means
that Just one-fifth Of the cost of main
tanning h schools of the state was
saved to the taxpayers by the income
from the permanent school fund. /,
There are now 1888, 900 acres of unsold
school and in organized counties, and
beo,Oo0 more In the Indian reservations.
or a total of 2,4S3, 900 acres. The school
lands are now selling for more than
an average of $40 an acre and il that is
maintained until the entire mount OF
lands is disposed of, the
school fund will be Owe 500, 600. 600. and
the annual income from it for dis
tr1bution to the schools over Sc. 900, 600.
or almost twice the present total cost OF
the public schools Of the state.
