The tax levy Of II mills which
was voted to raise a fund for oper-
ating the prison twine plant at 500
Falls, has accumulated a fund Of
about $2OO, 900 which it is found is
not to be needed for that purpose
for year or two, and it will be
transferred to the general fund aud
used to take up interest bearing
warrants. 1t was explained during
the campaign that this was an ex-
ira levy, and should not be consid-
cred as part of the general expen-
ditures of the state, but it now ap-
pears shat it is to be used for that
purpose just the same. It is all
right to use the fund in this way
now that it is on hand and is not
needed for the original purpose,
but if the general expenses had
been held down to proper bounds
this transfer would not have been
needed.

The Pierre Capital Journal has
been doing . little figuring On the
size Of the ballot at the next general
election. II says there will be six
referended laws and six constitu-
tional amendments, all Of which
must appear on the official ballot.
As the ballot can not be over ten
inches wide it will necessarily be
at least seven feet long. There
will be but few printing Offices il
the state that Jean print a ballot Of
that length.

Congressman Martin was in
Mitchell last week on his way back
to Washington after a visit to his
home in Deadwood. In speaking
of the tariff measure Mr.. Martin
says that while there is large
amount of discussion going ON in
the senate over the various features
of the measure, he thinks that
when everything is completed a
very satisfactory measure will re-
suit.

The excursions run by the q.
q N. ". railroad to Brookings last
week for the purpose Of letting tho
young men of the state visit the
Agricultural college we're quite well
patronized, and about 25OO young
men ayailed themselves Of the op-
portunity. One Of the things that
must have interested these young
men was the number and variety
of trees growing in the city Of
Rrookings, whore il is claimed that
there are 65 varieties growing. II
this will inspire these young men
to greater interest in tree culture,
this alone will be worth many times
the cost Of the excursions.

vancement, and in support Of a
universal brotherhood. True broth
hood implies not simply self help,
but help for others. This does not
mean that we are under obligations
to carry our fellows, but that we
should help them to help them
selves. The principles of good
citizenship were nicely portrayed
and showed careful thought on the
part of the writer. The subject
was appropriate for a young man
soon to assume the responsibilities
of citizenship, and the way in which
it was handled showed that he is
making good preparations for those.
responsibilities.
The valedictory was given by
Miss Blanche Beatty. In bidding
adieu to teachers and schoolmates
she recalled the pleasures of the
work accomplished and expressed
the hope that it may prove pre-
paration for usefulness. While
none of the class may occupy ex-
alted positions in life, yet right
living is greatness and this all may
attain. All have their goals which
they hope to reach, and if the ideals
are worthy and the motto of the
class, cad Astra Per Aspera, is
observed in the pursuit of those
ideals, all may attain true great
ness and consequent happiness.
A piano solo by Miss Severson
was rendered in skillful manner
very pleasing to her audience.
Some disappointment was felt
when it was announced that Pres.
Warren, of Yankton College, who
was to deliver the address had
missed his train and was unable to
be present. However, Rev. Chas.
Wilcox, who has showed himself to
be an all around man, ready for
any emergency, consented to give
the address, and did it in such a
manner as to make the audience
forget any disappointment that it
had felt. AS basis for his dis
course he referred to the pyramids
of Egypt, and spoke of the time
and labor spent in constructing
them. He then took these pyra-
mids as type of three others
which he proceeded to construct.
The first representing our school
system, the base the common
schools, on which were in diminish
ing size the high school, college
and schools for special training.
The second represents our social
and industrial classes. The third
representes the principles which
form perfect character. In this
he placed as the basis, wisdom,
and on this rested justice. courage,
self-control, and at the apex, truth.
1t was an able discourse and filled
with common sense and reason.
| F. L. Wheeler, president of the
board of education, with a few
words of commendation to the
class, then presented them with
ltheir diplomas.

Commencement Exercises.

The commencement exercises
of the Scotland High School we're
held in the M. E. church on last
Thursday evening, and as usual on
such occasions the church was
crowded. The room had been neat
" decorated with the class colors
and at the back of the rostrum was
the class motto, ''To the Stars,
Through Difficulties" inscribed in
Latin. At eight O'Clock, while an
entrance march was played bp Miss
Myrtle Sweet, the class, led by
Prof. Claus and Miss Tower and
followed by the members Of the
board of education, marched in
and took their places on the ros-
trum. The exercises opened with
solo by Rev. Wilcox, which was
followed by an invocation.
After this Miss Eugenia Par
menter favored the audience with
a vocal solo which was highly ap-
preciated.
Miss Violet Sweet took as her
subject the "Value of Literature. .
She traced the literature of the va
rious countries, showing how 1t re-
fleets the moral and intellectual
standing of the age and country in
which it is produced, and how it is
affected by the social and physical
surroundings. American literature
was showed to be branch of the
English, at first being distinctly
English in its thought and style,
but later, by rejecting the char
acteristics of American life an in
dependent school is developing.
Although American literature has
not yet reached it's golden age il
compares favorably with the moth
er country and the writer predicts
that we shall yet listen to an Amer.
lean Homer or Milton. The value
of literature as means of culture,
broadening our minds and helping
US more fully to appreciate man
kind, nature and natures God,
was well showed by the writer.
The essay showed comprehensive
understanding of the important
subject, and was nicely presented.

In Sickness if certain hidden nerve
goes wrong, then the organ that this
nerve controls will also surely fail. 1t
may be a stomach nerve or it may have
given strength and support to the heart
or kidneys. 1t was DR. Shoop that first
pointed to this vital truth. DR.. Shoop's
Restorative was not made to dose the
stomach nor to temporarily stimulate
the heart or kidneys, The old-fashion-
ed method is all wrong. Dr.. Shoop's
Restorative goes directly to these fail
ing inside nerves. The remarkable sue
cess Of this prescription demonstrates
the wisdom of treating the actual cause
of these failing organs. And it is in
deed easy to prove, A simple five or
ten days test will surely tell. Try it
once and see. Sold by r w Russell.

and pleaded not guilty. His
daughter accompanied him and,
being too weak physically to re-

COLLEGE FENCING.
ChsmpI onshIps VIII Not Be Held pt New
York A. 4. This Year.

Although there has been no disagreement
OF any kind between the Intercollegiate
Fencing Association and the New York
Athletic Club, the college fencers in pur-
suance OF n change Of policy will not hold
the championship tournament at the New
York Athletic Club gymnasium this spring
"a It has for several years i'm the past. The
championships will be split up between
the New York Turn Verein at Turn Nerein
Hall. at Lexington avenue and Eighty
fourth street. and the Hotel Astor. The
preliminary bouts will be fenced at the
verein Hall aud the finals will take place
at tho Astor The dates are March 20 and 27.
IL had been thought by some OF the mem
bsre OF tho association that to continue
holding meets at the New York Athletic
Club would lessen its Independence. This
sentiment was not unanimous, but the
opposing members were shown that a
change OF policy would result In more free
dom In various minor ways. and the de-
Athletic Club for a while at least.
The same system of Judging which was
used last year will be continued this season.
and II Is likely that the bulk OF the work
will fall on men connected with the New
York Athletic Club. The new scheme OF
having special watchers will not be used in
the intercollegiate meet, as II Is felt that 1t
L. not only unnecessary but also unwieldy. +.
Plans are being made to revive the individual
intercollegiate championship. which has not
been awarded In several years owing TO the
largs number OF teams competing in the
1nak.
As was the case last year. separate pre-
liminary meets will be held to eliminate
three teams. There will be three OF these
contests on March i3. taking place stimuli
taneosiy at Annapolis, Ithaca and BOSTON,
At Annapolis, Princeton, Pennsylyaqia and

which was scheduled this winter but never
took place, would make a beginning OF close
relations between the fencing colleges or
the East and West. The fencing associa-
tions Of none OF the colleges are over pros
porous. and the great distance between the
two sections could not be travelled without
using up all the surplus from home meets.
