PEARLS FOUND IN BIG SIOUX.

The reported discovery recently OF
a number of valuable pearls in clam
shells found in the Big Sioux river
at a point near %Flandreau, thirty miles
south of Brookings, has caused scores
of boys and young men to devote all
of their spare time in searching for
pearls. 1t would not be surprising If
the excitement would spread to other
points along the river, and thus pearl
fishing may become n of the import
ant industries of the state. One OF
the Indian boys who is a student at
the government Indian school at Elan
dreau was the finder of the most val
liable pearl yet taken from the river.
He found a pearl that is estimated to
be worth $40. Melvin Knutson found
one that is said to be worth $40.
Other pearls of smaller value also
have been found by others.

The law further provides that every
contract for the employment of a
teacher shall be in writing and shall
be authorized by a majority of the
members of the school district board.
If any school district consisting OF
one or more townships in any school
except in a city, town or village OF
more than fifty inhabitants, If a Pc
tition is presented to the clerk of the
district school board On or before the
regular school meeting in July, sign
ed by thr~ee-fourths of the parents or
guardians of persons of school age
belonging to any school in the district,
asking that a certain teacher be en-
ployed for the following school year,
it shall be the duty of the school board
to employ the teachers whose appoint
ment is requested provided the teach
err has the necessary certificates,
The law further provides that if a
member of the school board shall re-
fuse to employ a teacher thus petit
toned for, he shall be deemed guilty
of a misde,neanor and upon convic-
ton thereof, will be subjected to a
fine in the sum of not less than $40
or more than $50. The important
change by the new law from previous
school laws is the provision for the
selection of teachers upon the petit
ton of three-fourths of the parents or
guardians of the children attending
a particular school. This provision
to q certain extent, takes from the
school board the right to employ all
of the teachers. The parents and
guardians, if they choose, under the
new law, can select the entire corps
Of teachers for a particular school by

ADVICE TO

II the farmers of South Dakota paid
a little more heed to the experiment
station at Brookings in connection
with the agricultural college, says the
Mitchell Republican, we are inclined
to the belief that they would be many
dollars ahead as each year rolled
around in the way Of increased crops
insomuch as the faculty members are
continually experimenting with grains
to secure the largest possible pro-
duction. There are some farmers who
have taken advantage Of what experts
nave ascertained from experiments and
they are ready to give testimony that
the discoveries have increased the
yield of several grains which they
have grown. In commenting along
this line the Yankton Press and Da-
kotan offers these suggestions where
the farmers are benefited:
South Dakota farmers the state
over, should keep their business eye
on what Is being accomplished at the
state agricultural experiment station.
Our agricultural college experts are
using their best efforts and applying
themselves diligently to promote the
agricultural industry of the state by
discovering methods of making two
bushels of grain grow where but one
is grown now and with no more outlay
of labor or money than the N
bushel requires. Improved methods
and improvement in quality of product
is the slogan of the experimental farm
ers and they are doing a great deal
more than merely holding down a fat
public Office or earning their salary.
For instance, Prof. Willis has secured
a variety of oats which in actual tests
at the Bookings farm during a per-
iod of seven years has not failed to
produce each year twelve bushels
more per acre than any other variety
jown. II is worth while for any
farmer to grow this kind of oats
which would give him 500 bushels
more on a 40-acre field than any other
variety and will cost no more in mon
ey or labor. South Dakota farmers
should not be backward in calling on
the Brookings institution for ans of
it's good things. The institution is
sustained by the state to promote it's
grandest industry and its officers and
officials are never so well pleased as
when the farmers call upon them for
information and assistance"

Prostitution

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any Of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all &C
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

A MASTER OF THE ART OF NEWS
LETTER WRITING.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, probably has a more enviable
position and is read by more men and
women daily than any other news
paper writer in the United States. He
can go anywhere in the world and
write on any live topic that he choos-
es, so long as he interests his hun
dreds of thousands of readers. He
has travelled sewers. times around the
world and has written entertainingly
about almost every country under the
sun
Every day in the year without va
cation or intermission, Mr.. Curtis has
a %two-column letter in the Record
Herald. The remarkable thing about
these letters is the power to interest
all classes of readers. Women read
them with the same enjoyment as
men. Whether the subject be travels,
politics, a new link in the Monroe
doctrine, an interview with the new
est money king Or the personal his
tory OF an Egyptian mummy, the story
is always told with d limpid simpli-
city and an unfailing sense OF inter-
est that keeps one reading to the end.
No other correspondent now living
can match the record Of Mr.. Curtis as
a popular purveyor of timely and use
full information. Whether he writes
from his home in Washington or from
the wilds of Mexico, from the gay
! streets in Paris or some remote tenn
pie in India. he always has something
fresh and entertaining to tell.
Mr.. Curtis began his newspaper car
eer in Chicago rs a reporter in 1877,
speedily became a managing editor,
resigned to serve as secretary of the
government commission sent to South
America, and fulfilled his duties 80
brilliantly that Secretary James G,
Blaine placed him at the head OF the
new bureau OF Latin republic. He is
almost as widely known in South
America and Europe as he is in the
United States. At the worlds fair In
Chicago he was the executive head Of
the Latin-American department. He
Is a member of almost every learned
society in Washington and many IN
Europe.
Nobody outside of the Record-Her
aid Office knows under what flag Mr.
Curtis will be next hanging up his
hat, but everybody knows that, wheth
err 1t be in Patagonia or Kamchatka
he will find something interesting te
write about. Merely to read his daily
news-letters is a liberal education. He
does his full share towards making
the Chicago Record-Herald the best
home newspaper in the West.

TO MARK FIRST SCHOOL.

The good citizens of Vermillion will,
on the 25th of this month, mark the
site of the first regular school house
built in the territory by erecting a
monument to commemorate the spot
where in 1864 sturdy, God fearing.
patriotic men, erected a little log
school house in a ravine on the edge
of the old town. The monument will
be eight feet high with a three by
four feet base and of Bedford marble.
1t is proper that Vermillion should
do this as that little log school house
had much to do with the early day To-
cation of the State university by the
legislature, and that little log build
ing was the center of a political con-
test in 1870, when from its door
marched Solomon L. Sphinx, nominee
for congress.
The first time the writer saw the lit
tie building was in June 1870. and q
bitter political contest between Dr..
Burleigh and 8. l.. Sphinx for delegate
to congress furnished the excuse for
our visit at that time.
The territorial convention in 1870
met in the old hall Owe the Lee 4
Prentis store in the old town. The
strife for the nomination was bitter
and the ~partisans OF each candidate
were determined to win. The day

was hot and every man was stripped
to his shirt ready for a fight or a foot
race. There were a number OF con-
tests and a successful issue of the
battle hinged on the election Of a
temporary chairman. The Clay coun-
ty delegation was mixed but the Bur-
leigh forces believed they would sup
port a Clay county man for chairman
and Mr.. Carpenter was nominated
and elected. This movement was a
surprise to the Sphinx men and they
were furious. The chairman was sur
rounded by angry men and great ex-
element prevailed for a time. Final
ly Mr.. Sphinx called his men together
and bolted the convention before the
chairman could announc his COM
mittees. Sphinx realized that he was
beaten and he was beaten fairly, be-
cause Burleigh had an honest MAORI
ty of delegates.
After Mr.. Carpenter had announced
his committees a recess for an hour
was taken, and it was during that re-
cess that the writer went up the ra-
vine and inspected the Sphinx conven-
ton from the door. We didn't are
to go inside as it was too warm. The
building was not large but it was
about the only place in town vacant.
The Sphinx men did business rapidly,
as they had no opposition, and in due
time Mr.. Sphinx was nominated for
congress. The other convention nom.
mated DR.. Burleigh and the adj
journed. Early in October Mr.. Arm
strong was nominated by the demo-
Gratis at Yankton and in the final
roundup he got more votes than either
of the others. Mr.. Sphinx was then
the delegate in congress having been
elected in 1868.
1t was the first regular school house
and it was the first school house in
which a territorial convention was
held. The little building is only a
memory, and the men who built it
are nearly all gone to their reward,
and most of the men who turned it
into a convention hall are sleeping
their last sleep. The monument will
do for all.-Canton Leader.

DAKOTA ATTITUDES.

Below we print a table of the alti-
tudes of the different towns between
Elkton and Pierre, which will with
out doubt be of interest. The alti-
tude OF Brookings is given as 1886
feet, which Is higher than most OF
the other points given. We always
had an idea that Elkton was lower
than .,Brookings, not that we look
down on the people of that town, but
here we generally say down to Elk
ton" when in reality it should be
"up to Elkton." Volga is neither
down nor up, having exactly the same
altitude as Brookings. The and rises
abruptly from there west, making 2l0
feet in twelve miles. Highmore Is
the highest point along the line hav-
ing an elevation of 1890 feet. Huron
Is the lowest, with 1885 feet.
