county, came near being wrecked by
a peculiar accident a few days ago

Consolidate Country Schools

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: State
Superintendent II. A. Ustrud, Of the
state department Of education, is
doing good work in calling attention
to the Importance of the centraliza-
ton of the rural schools of the state.
He has spent the better part of a
year gathering the facts, and these
he has assembled in a recently is
sued pamphlet under the title Con
solldation of schools in South Dako-
ta." The pamphlet is exceedingly
interesting reading, and clearly
points the way to a great improve
ment in the rural schools of the
state at reduced cost of administra,
ton.
The plan is to abolish the small
one-teacher coutry schools which is
attended by only a few pupils of al
ages and grades, and to centralize
the educational effort of the town
ship in graded school in each town
ship. to which the pupils are carried
daily in conveyances at public ex
pense, and where the enthusiasm OF
numbers and system are such as tc
bring the results.

VIM. Kratzer, in Jail in this city
charged with having stolen horse
from Alex Gilmore, of Florence
twp. last fall, was considerably sur
prised Sunday morning when a
couple of visitors called on him.
Saturday evening Sergeant Quin
lin and a private from Ft. Mead
arrived in Miller with the necessary
documents for the arrest of VIM.
Kratzer. On Sunday morning they
were admitted to the Jail by Sheriff
Erb, and informed young Kratzer
that they wanted him as a descrter.
He was considerably frightened for
a moment, but when he caught his
second wind he admitted it, and
was ready to go to Ft. Mead with
the soldiers.
VIM. Kratzer enlisted in the regu-
lar army in Ohio in April 1905 for
three years. He served one year,
grew tired of the circumstance and
tinsel of war, and made a sneak.
But not many fellows get away
from Uncle's solicitous care if he
wants 'em, so it was only question
of time until the young deserter was
located and sent for. They depart
ed for Ft. Mead on Sunday morn
ing's tram. .
AS he will surely have to serve
time under this charge, the local
officers and county may be consider
ed lucky to get rid of him without
further cost.

LAST TERM OF
APRIL COURT
Hereafter Sessions Will Be i'm
January and June

The spring term of circuit court
convened In Miller Tuesday with
Judge Boucher presiding. Owing
to the fact that the judge was press
ed for time, he postponed all the
jury cases until June Is, at which
time hwill hold special session.
This is probably the last term of
circuit court that will lie held In
April in Hand county. rhe last
legislature divided the big Sixth
circuit, and out Of the counties north
of Hand created the Tenth circuit.
Judge Boucher, elected in the Sixth,
had to remove from Eureka to
Pierre, to preside over court in those
counties along the G.. &. N. w. re-
naming in the Sixth circuit, VIZ,
Hand, Hyde, Hughes, Sully. and
Stanley. At the same time the
semi-annual terms for Hand county
were placed in January and June.
which will be pleasing news to
farmers who have to attend court.
The present term is for court
cases only, the Judge having dis
missed the jury.
No criminal cases on the calendar.
and only about twenty civil. Court
will probably close today.

The annual city election Tuesday
recorded 273 votes, divided as indi-
Gated above, except that two bal
lots were erroneous and not counted
making in effect Al against license.
This vote against the licensed saloon
is the heaviest cast, at least for
many years. The First Ward gave
4 majority for, the Second was tie,
and the Third 43 against.
The contest for Aldermen was
very close in each ward. and was
apparently the result of purely per-
sonal choice, regardless of any issue
involved. w. D. Graf 70 and G, L..
Ostrander are returned from the
second and third wards respectively,
while Frank Weber succeeds G. c.
Briggs in the First.
On the basis of 5 to the voter, &C
cepted in state computations, this
vote gives Miller population of
1856. If this ratio be too Highland
the Press thinks it ls-still it must
be near to these figures, because
several voters were absent, and also
because the city has spread out be-
ysnd the corporation limits, and
includes some twelve to fifteen
= families, whose voters do not par
ticipate in the city election. These
two classes added would, on basis
Nof 5 to the voter, place the city's
Sypulatlon close to 1400 people.
