TO A HAPPY PRESENT.

Huron Huronite: The command
of old to go forth and subdue the
earth has been complied with so far
as those who have had the wisdom to
settle in South Dakota. For many
years nearly all the plaques which
provoked job were visited upon the
settlers of this state, but being pos
sessed of a patience which rivaled
Jobs, a confidence which brooked all
disappointments, they kept on the
snbduing process, until at last success
crowned their efforts and today the
state blooms like garden from the
foot hills of Harney's peak to the
shores of the Sioux. Corn fields
stretch from Yankton to Aberdeen
on the north and from Elkton to
Midland on the west; wheat fields
tire the eye with their long stretches
of unbroken grain and the wiry wild
grasses of the virgin prairies have in
turn given way to the fields of the
long-stemmed timothy, red clover
and alfalfa.

A GOOD FEATURE IN SCHOOLS

One OF the strongest arguments for
manual training in the public schools,.
is that it goes long way towards ft-
ting boys to take up trades without
the loss of time otherwise necessary
in labor as an apprentice.
The Massachusetts, commission of.
industrial education has been making
an investigation Of results obtained
by such schools and finds that the
graduate of the elementary school,
who took up trade without any pre-.
vious technical training, earned at IA
years of age 81 a week and at 25 years.
OF age, S12.75 week, while the youth
who had spent four years at techni-
cal school earned $40 q week atle
and at rs was able to command $3i q
week.
Carrying the comparison along for
period of IL years, the difference in
favor of the young man who had pre-
pared himself for engaging in skilled
mechanics is simply that he received
for his labor s7,3s7, as against S., 1872,
earned by the other. With these
comparisons laid down it is strange.
that any one should oppose manual
training.
The time spent each day in this de-
partment by the student is relatively
SO small as to appear insignificant,
yet it is with this as with other mat
ters. Perfection is not expected in
one day, or one week, or one year.
Each day witnesses growth, and
some marvellous results have been OBJ
tanned in schools where technical
training has been long in vogue.
That manual training is also valuable
as an aid to book study has been
proven.
"Give the boys chance is an
adage as old as the hills. What bet
ter chance than in the manual train
ing department of the public schools?
There he will learn to do things, gain
self-confidence, respect for labor and
be led to habits Of thought and re-
fiection.

MURDERED MEN FOR MONEY.

The bodies of two men were found
in well on the Artie McNally ranch,
two miles north of Kadoka, Stanley
county, on Friday of last week. Mr.
McNally had occasion to visit the
we'll for water and made the discovery.
The bodies proved to be those Of two
men who had been running a break
ing outfit, j. Gooder of Rock Valley,
Iowa, and W. d. Toney, 1917 Hamil-
ton street, Sioux City. They and a
man who went by the name of Mike
Malone shipped in car of horses and
machinery from Chamberlain on May
Is and started breaking few days
later for McNally on his claim north
OF lKadoka. Gooder and Toney seem
ed to be partners, and Malone was
working for them. Malone came to
town on Thursday, May 27, and said
he had bought Gooder and Toney out
for $3.50 and the night before had
taken them to Philip.
After this time Malone seemed to
have plenty of money, while before
this he had been broke. After this
Malone tried to sell several of the
horses, and did dispose of three or
four head. Last Monday morning
Malone left for the west, taking seven
head of horses with him. The dis
covery of the bodies in the well places
the crime on Malone.
This we'll is located about ten rods
from where Malone was camped
The circumstances all point to Ma
lone as the perpetrator of the foul
deed. Instead of taking the men to
Philip, he murdered them in cold
blood and dumped the bodies into the
well to cover up the crime, and after
that had camped for over week at
the scene OF the deed.
Robbery was the motive for the
crime. Gooder was known to have
considerable money on his person,
and when found his pockets had been
rifled, leaving nothing whatever to
Identify him. j. 7. Doty of Kadoka,
| identified him as a party who did
breaking for him near kimball last
year. A letter and a sale ticket from
a Sioux City feed store identified the
| other man as w. ID. Toney
Marshal Wiltfang started on the
trail Of the suspected murderer and
captured him Friday evening at Cot
tonwood.
Malone confessed to the crime ON
Saturday. Malone, according to the
officers, said he killed one man with
an ak and the other with club. The
condition of the skulls Of the murder
ed men bears out this statement.
| Robbery was the motive for the crime.
| The prisoner was taken to Fort Pierre
and placed in jail.
! Malone registered at hotel at
Sioux City on May 2S as Michael Nc
Gam of Kansas City.
Malone waived examination and has
| been held to the October term of the
circuit court, without bond. The
concensus Of opinion in Stanley coun-
ty is that Malone will be jerked to

SHOULD VOTE AGAINST THE BILL
A Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia North American says:

1T is becoming more and more ap-
parent that the independent republi-
cans, who are fighting for revision
downward, will vote against the pend
ing bill upon it's final passage (in the
Senate). They have realized that it
is futile for them, while refusing to
assume the responsibility of voting
against the bill, to hope that Taft
VIII veto it, and they have resolved,

if, instead, the Aldrich bill increases
the average duty from As to AZ per
cent, as it does, then would it not be
far more in keeping with the republi-
can national platform to vote against
the Aldrich bill, saying in effect that
the Dingley law, imposing lower tar
IFS, is to be preferred2
Much has been said, in vague, un-
authorized fashion, about reduction
OF the duties in the Aldrich bill when
it reaches the conference committee
appointed to adjust the differences be-
tween the measures put through by
the two houses. But the real republi-
can Senators, those of the middle
west, have no knowledge that this
will be done. If satisfactory re-
duction is made in conference, it will
be time enough for them to support
the bill when it is reported back to
the Senate for ratification. Sioux

FORECAST OF SENATE.

Washington, D. c., June 13.-The
feeling Of all factions in the senate is
that the tariff bill is approaching the
last days of it's consideration in the
senate. Senator Aldrich is hopeful
that the end may be reached by next
Saturday and many of the conserva-
tive republicans, as we'll as many of
the democrats, are inclined to agree
with this prediction.
The income tax amendments to the
bill will be taken up for considera-
ton on Friday and a vote may be
reached on the proposition the same
day. 1t is possible, however, the eff
forts may lie made to secure a still
further pOstponement of a vote.
