THE BEST SCHOOL

The agricultural school which has
been in the formative state, being
one of the later courses Of modern
education, has reached q stage where
its teachings are no longer theoreti-
cal but are based on results obtained
from thorough and scientific investi-
CATION and experiment. 1t is an en-
C0uTaYing sign for the science OF Il a s
riculture that the farmers are evinc-
ing a general desire to avail them
selves of this scientific knowledge.
Not only is the tendency of the times
''back to the soil" but there is a grow
Ing disposition toward a technical
training for the business of farming
1t is no longer sought to makea far
i mer out of the boy who is not fit for
anything else. There are many lines
In which he can max a success with
less ability and training than he can
in farming,
Fortunately South Dakota has an
agricultural college second to none
!. In the northwest and pnumbers among
It's faculty some Of the foremost scien-
fists of the country. A course in ag-
ricultnre Is splendid thing for any
I young man, even if he does not event
ually take up with farming as life
work.

LISTENING.
IL Importance In the Art Of Acting on
the Stage

tte Importance In the Art OF Acting or
the Stage.
The reason why listening plays Il
part of such paramount value on the
stage is that If an actor is not deeply
interested IN what is going on in the
mimic world In which he has been cast
he cannot look for any real interest on
the part Of his audience, and the only
way in which he can denote that inter
est is by the intensity with which he
listens to everything that has any bear
Ing whatever Oh his life and actions
and the skill with which he expresses
the feelings bred OF what he hears.
Listening Is an art that is not prop
erly taught in the schools In which
modern actors are trained. for while
voice culture has the place Of high
honor that it deserves in the cllrricu
lum Of every academy on Broadway,
If you ask either teacher or pupil about
the stlll more important business of
listening the chances are that You vii
receive no reply save Il wondering
shake Of the head.

APPEAL FOR AID.
Fnads Are Needed by the Parkston
Committee to Garry on Prosecution.

fnads Are Needed by the Parkston
Committee to Garry on Prosecution.
It is now nearly three years since
Agnes Polreis, a domestic employed
by Mrs. Nose Kaufman, of Sioux
Falls, met her death under peculiar
circumstances in that city, and up to
this time the guilty person has sue
cessfully escaped punishment, al
though she has been convicted by Il
jury.
Summed up the case is practically
as follows: In June, 1905, Agnes
Polreis, daughter of John and Theresa
Polreis, of this county, met her death
while in the employ OF Mrs. Kauf-
mann at Sioux Falls. The body was
shipped to her home at Parkston for
burial, and owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding the death
aid the secrecy employed by those
having the matter in charge at Sioux
Falls, suspicious were aroused by
friends, and the body was exhumed
for examination. The examination
disclosed bruises about the body and
head, and it was the opinion of those
interested that she had been foully
dealt with, and the machinery of the
law was set in motion, and after many
attempts Mrs. Kaufman was arrest
ed and held on the charge of murder
Under an order from the supreme
court she was released on bail after
her preliminary hearing, and her
trial was held in Flandreau, Moody
county, in May, 1907, on a charge of
venue from Minnehaha county. This
trial resulted in a conviction for man
slaughter in the first degree. The
matter was stubbornly fought by the
defendant, who had the means az
hand to employ the best counsel, and
the verdict Of the jury was resisted
and the case taken to the supreme
court with an application for new
trial. the defense basing their appli-
cation for a new trial, on the ground
that errors had been committed by
the prosecution in the conduct of the
case. The supreme court granted
the motion and the case will again be
tried at Flandreau some time next
month.
The parents of the dead girl are

which to employ competent outside
counsel to assist in the prosecution,
and the citizens of Parkston feel that
they have given about all that they
can afford in the prosecution of the
first trial. 1t is well known that the
guilty party or parties should be
punished. 1t is to such that we
are making an appeal for financial
aid. The Parkston committee, of
which Senator w. III. Shaw, president
of the Hutchinson County Bank, is
the nominal head, Is still very much
interested in this case, and wishes to
employ the best outside counsel TO
assist in this case when it shall come
up for trial. To such as are willing
to donate we ask to send their con-
tributions to the Hutchinson County
Bank. Parkston, South Dakota, and
= bank receipt will be mailed them
for the amount, and the committee
will account for every cent collect
ed.
To those who wish to contribute
but who do not desire. to have their
names connected with the case, we
will say that the name Of no contri-
butor will be made public unless
agreeable to the person donating.
