THERE is talk Of having a statue erected for the late William NJ.
Stewart somewhere in Nevada. lie was a strong Ia in every way and
made many enemies in public life but sitting out all of his many traits
of character there will be found few men in Nevada who will begrudge
him the honor.
1t may take a little time ito educate the people of Nevada, or possibly
speaking more literally. its public officials, IL p to the statue idea. The
State Board OF Capitol Commissioners stunned own the statue Of OH
Mackay and but for the prompt action of Governor Sparks in accepting
1t over the heads of The board. it would never have materiahzed.
Last week, Rogers, n OF the millionaire directors of the Standard
Oil Co. died in New York and Mark Twain, his close friend va n Of
the pail bearers. He offered IN three years : to erect a satue of
Mark Twain in the Capitol but the board Of capitol commissioners
promptly sat down o the proposition and refused the Rogers sub
scripion of $4,000, on the ground hat if such a precedent "a establish
ed everybody would be rushing in With statues.
The subscription was secured at the same time thu the Mackay
statue was first considered an Homer Davenport, HI cartoonist, secur-
ed the subscription personally from Mr. Rogers.
With the death of Rogers thu opportunity has passed, never to re-
turn.
TO have unveiled Twains statue at the same time the golden Jubilee
of the Comstock a being celebrated, would have beer a fuing tribute
to the a who won his first literary spurs in Nevada and who has
the state capitol building.

Rapid City Claims 1924

Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 9.-An Of
fetal census recently taken Of the
city shows that 1t has 1924 inhabi-
tants. The census was originally
taken by General Manager Moore of
the Rapid City Black Hills & West
ern railroad company, to ascertain
whether or not the city contained a
population which would warrant pc
titioning the supreme officers of the
order of Elks for a charter. To in
stitute a lodge Of Elks in a city it
must have a population of at least
5000. Later on Doane Dobinson. Of
Pieere, state historian, gave the city
a population of something over g.
700, based on the number of. pupils
partially registered in the public
schools. Harry Wentzy, editor Of
the Gate City Guide, took the matter
up with the council and Mayor Wood
appointed Aldermen Pascoe, digger
and Babue as official census enumer-
ators.

Barley, who is a constable at Hazel.

used her very roughly and also ac--
cused them of kidnapping because
they dragged her son away from her.
The case was hard fought through.

room was at a premium in the court
room. owing to the novel grounds
upon which damages we're demanded.

FURTHER EXPLANATION
Why the Public is Called Upon to
Help Purchase the Piano for In
sane Asylum Women.

sane Asylum Women.
Mrs. w. E. Upton. who is heading
the movement to secure the dona-
lions for the purchase of a piano for
the women of the Yankton insane
asylum, finds that there is some hesi-
fancy in the matter Of giving for the
fair on the ground that the state
ought to provide for the women.
Concerning that Mrs. Upton said:
The only aso the state is not
providing the piano is because the
legislature overlooked making an APP
preparation for it, and l am quite sure
were it possible the state would pro-
vide for it. The situation is very
much like the citizens of the city max
ing a donation with which to purchase
a piano for the high school. In a case
of that kind l am sure everybody
would take an interest in it and be
glad to make the donation. Simply
because the asylum is located at
Yankton is no particular reason why
the Yankton people should do all the
donating. 1t is an institution of the
state and all people should be in
terested in it.
"The articles for the proposed fair
will be collected by Mrs. S. F. Ker-
foot, Mrs. e. T. Grinnell, Mrs. H. E.
Hitchcock, Mrs. P. H. Kelley, Mrs.
W. A. Getty, Mrs. Edward Leehan,
Mrs. G. j. Bliss, Mrs. L. A. Williams,
Mrs. Mamma Moore, Mrs. j. H. Fer
ris, Mrs. w. E. Upton and the Misses
Herman. The articles should be sent
by the latter part of this week. The
fair will be held the first week
in December in the woman's build
ing at the asylum"

POSES AS OLD d

Milbank, Nov. 10.-A shreWd
swindler who is quite aged and poses
as an old soldier is operating in this
part Of the state and has succeeded
in victimizing a number Of unsus-
pecting veterans of the war Of the re-
bellion. The swindler recently visit
ed Milbank and induced a number Of
old soldiers residing here to make
up a purse for him, The story put
up by him was that he wished to. .
turn to the state soldiers hone at
Hot Springs. According to his story
he had been to Iowa to attend the
funeral of his son, and besoming
short Of money found it necessary to,
call upon his old comrades in arms to
contribute to the fund necessary to
get him safely back to the soldiers
home. The immediate necessities OF
the old man, who now proves TO have
been a fraud, were provided by local
old veterans. who also contributed
the money and purchased him .
ticket as far as Rapid City. The
swindler claims to have served in q
Wisconsin regiment and has faxed
records which appear to bear out this
claim. He is pronounced q fraud by
the commandant Of the state soldiers
home and old soldiers Of South Dako-
ia and adjoining states are warned TO
pay no. heed to his glib stories.

COLLEGE PRESIDENCY WOULD
JUST FIT T. r.

Ann Arbor Mich, Feb. 26.-With
the passing of President James B.
Angel as head of the University of
Michigan, for his resignation takes ef-
feet next June, the board of regents
will have before them the difficult
problem Of selecting his successor.
Michigan possesses no prouder as
set than it's state university; and the
university claims no greater glory
than its venerable president to whom
the people of the world have paid the
homage earned by perfect manhood.
More than any other single factor,
DR.. Angel has made the University
of Michigan one of the greatest cosmo-
politan schools in America. 1t is
comforting to know he is to remain as
chancellor. This fact lessons, for tn .
present, the immediate necessity for
an admitted master as his successor,
because so long as he lives he will
dominate university affairs.
1t can be no mere pedagogue. More
than a great scholar is demanded. 1t
must be a master, not only of books,
but of men, 1t must be figure of
world-size, it must be man who will
