TO DlsBAR ATTORNEY
Proceedings Started Against w. j.
Farmer to Disbar Him in the
Land Law Business.

EA"N-N
Late Saturday afternoon disbar-
ment proceedings were started in the
case against w. ]. Farmer. of Cham
berlain an attorney who has been
doing more or less land business in
the reservation country to the west
of the river. The action was start
ed by A. B. York, a special r~eipresen-
tative of the interior department,
and Mr.. Farmer was represented By
B. G. Huddle, of Chamberlain.
There were three or four witness.
es called to the stand, and the ques-
tions that we're directed indicated
that a foundation was being laid on
which to again start proceedings
against John @. Anderson. All the
questions asked Of the witnesses per-
tanned to bringing out the lnforma-
ton if Anderson was interested in
their living on the claim; If he paid
their railroad fare, or paid any other
expenses of their claim holding propo
stion, in fact went deep into the pos
sible association of Mr.. Anderson
with them concerning the living on
the claim. The testimony Of the Wit
nesses was to the effect that Ander-
son had nothing to do with their life
the claim.

iese would all be we'll spent if that
institution should save one young

Dean discussed the value of a child,

iai declaration speaking louder than
any words hat this city knows the
value of her children, and proposes
at the expense of almost 100000
mat they shall have the best cppor-
tunltles to get ready to become the
salt OF the men and women of which
South Dakota will some day be Just
~ proud. Prof. Perisho brought
hearty congratulations from Pres4-
dent Gault and all the faculty and
student body from the state univer-
slty to the city of Mitchell, to the
school board. the high school facul-
.ty and pupils upon this-the compile
ton of their splendid high school
building.
The universally admitted impvrt-
ance OF education was discussed by
means of quotations and illustrations.
Special emphasis was put upon the
need of giving the boys and girls
within the high school at least some
training along the lines of what is
generally known as practical educa-
ton. The speaker showed plainly
that both upon the farms and in the
cities of South Dakota that there
were numerous and constant open
ings for high school young men and
women, If they only knew what the
people wanted to know and we're will
ing to pay we'll for 1t.
He enlarged upon the modern spir-
it Of education which always demands

not SO much as what you NAV know
In theory but what you can do. TO
illustrate this point he quoted from
h1pling's poem "Tomlinson."
One of the strongest points of the
address had for it's basis the inyesti-
cation of the question that very few
school children finish the high school
course. Not only that so few reach
the senior year of the high school
but as a rule nearly fifty per cent
more girls enter the high school than
boys. And almost a hundred per
cent more young women than young
men graduate from our high school.
From Investigations taken from a
number Of states it was shown that
three of seven reasons given were
commercial, that three were due to
a lack of interest, and one was due
to the pupils staying out to help his
parents.
The remedy proposed by Dean Per-
isho was that we make the high
school work Of such a nature that
the boys would be interested in it,
and that we put enough of manual
training, elementary agriculture, and
commercial branches on the course
of study to hold the boys. Especially
should this be done in a great agri-
cultural state like that of South Da-
kota. Much emphasis was put on the
idea that the high school is the peo-
pies school and that it does not ex-
list simply for the sake of the col
lege and university.
No doubt the dean made the most
impressive appeal when in closing
he called the attention to the greatest
of all motives in education, which is
the development of greater, better
and grander manhood and woman
hood among the young people of
South Dakota. For this nobleness and
altruistic development all education
should fully strive.
This afternoon there were quite a
large number Of citizens visited the
high school building for the purpose
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1910-01-13

of inspecting the various part of tho
building. The high school students
were delegated as guides and accom-
panied the citizens over the building
explaining the rooms and what they
were used for.

BY T. A. G.

The production of "Raffles" last
night by the Lawrence Stock Co.
at the Spokane was entirely salts
factory and pleased a good house
"Raffles" is a drama of action in
which there is incident and excite
ment from the rise to the fall of
the curtain. The production by
Lawrence company compares well
with that of other organizations
that have given the piece here.
Del s. Lawrence handles the title
role in a creditable manner He de-
yelops all the cleverness of the
gentleman craftsman and is eff
fective in the stirring situations
that mark the progress of the
play.
ALI T. Payne shines in the role
of Captain Bedford, the detective,
on the trail of the elusive
"Raffles." He adds comedy to his
efforts as a sleuth, all of which is
duly appreciated by the audience
Carl Stockdale carried the role of
Crashaw, the common burglar, and
Philip Sheffield enacted the part
of Bunny. Clara Byers fills the
most active of the womens parts,
Mrs. Vidal. Brenda Fowler ap-
pears as Lady Ethel. "Raffles"

WILL REHEAR
STANDARD OIL AND
TOBACCO CASES
(By United Press Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE SUI
preme court announces it will re-
hear the appeal in the Standard Oil
case, because only seven members
are now sitting.
The supreme court for the same
reason has decided to rehear the
tobacco trust case.
The decision was announced by
Chief Justice Fuller shortly after
the court assembled.
1t was generally predicted that
the court might decide that a re-
hearing of these important cases
would be necessary after the death
of Justice Brewer.
The cases are considered as
among the most important that the
supreme caurt has handled in re-
cent years. They will give the de-
partment of justice precedent IN
future trust prosecutions and will
decide the most important ques-
ton in the present form of big
combinations, the legality of the
holding company.

HE JUST DOTES
ON ELECTRICITY

Electra, 'the human dynamo" is
the big attraction at Pantages this
week. Besides the entertaining
side, the act is more or less scienti-
fic and instructive. Electra charg-
es himself with electricity, lights
cigars by holding them to his
mouth and letting the electricity
in him ignite the tobacco, sits in a
chair and sends 1000 volts through
himself, eats aples charged with
the mysterious stuff, and does a
good many other interesting things.

LITTLE HIP FEATURE
At WASHINGTON

Every number on the bill at the
Washington was thoroughly en-
joyed by the large audience that
witnessed the performances yester-
day. One of the most interesting
of numbers on the bill is the APP
pearance of Little Hip, the perform
ing elephant. This wonderful ami
NAL gives one the impression that
he is educated instead of trained, as
he goes through his act with almost
human precision. Little Hip will
distribute programs in the lobby
both afternoons and evenings for
the balance of the week.
The Wilton Bros have a humor-
Gus as we'll as remarkable offering.
Their work on the horizontal bar
wins for them liberal applause,
while their comedy keeps the house
in constant laughter.
Another act on the program that
is highly pleasing is the novelty en-
titled "A Dummy's Holiday" pre-
scented by Klein and Klifton, which
. brings out some humorous and en-
PERTAINING incidents. Both are clever
. comedians and bring out all the eX-
cellent points of their offering.
The Longworths have a delight
full musical offering. both having
splendid voices, which they use to
! excellent advantage, and were COM
PEELED to respond to repeated en-
cores.
Z Emile Chevriel is a violinst Of
exceptional merit, who prefers to
make eccentric playing the feature
of his act, though it is a certainty
that as a player of beautiful melo-
dies he is far superior to majority
of players now on the road
Smith and Arado sing and dance
and provide first class entertain
ment all the time they are on the
stage. They are clever pair and
deserve all the applause they re-
ceive.
