THE 1EADLE STATUE.

At the meeting of the State Educa-
tional association held at Lead City
last fall, it was decided to honor Hon.
w. II. II. Beadle, a distinguished citi-
zen of South Dakota and a prominent
educator, with a life-sized statue to
be placed in the new capitol building
at Pierre, to serve as a lasting memoir
ial for the part he has taken in con-
serving the school lands of the state
and in promoting the cause of educa-
ton therein. There will be no one
to question that the General has been
In the forefront of all efforts to adj
vance the states educational interests,
but because there were others also
prominent and aggressive in the same
field, tht action Of the educational as
ISOLATION has been viewed in some
quarters as a tacit reflection upon his
companions, who though deserving of
commentator, have been overlooked.
OF course no reflection upon anybody
is intended and if it were it would ex-
tend to the whole people of the old
Territory and early state, probably in
many cases the parents of those who
are now favorable to erecting this me-
mortal to Mr.. Beadle. For the credit
OF Dakota, and that not only the pres
ent but future generations should not
lose respect for the pioneers of both
Dakotas, it can be truthfully said that
the conservation of the school lands
in the interest of education and the
common schools has ever been a cher.
ished purpose. No n can dispute
this by the record.
General Beadle was early placed in
a position where he could do effective
work in the cause of education, and
being forewarned by the experience
of Wisconsin, from which state he
came to Dakota. that some land grab.
bling scheme might be attempted, he
undoubtedly warned the people
against it. 1t was we'll enough to do
so as a warning, though no danger
ever threatened.
General Beadle has always been
highly regarded by the people of Yank.
ton with whom he spent the first
twenty years Of his residence in Da-
kota. He was associated with Rev.
Joseph Ward, another distinguished
pioneer educator and divine. with ex-
Gov. Edmunds, with Hon. Bartlett
Trip, with James S. Foster. the first
territorial superintendent of schools
and a very aggressive and able educa.
tor, and with Rev. M~elancthon Hoyt,
whose name is connected with Yank-
tons earliest educational efforts. And
theer will be no hesitation here In

AS TO AN ONION DIET.

Food specialists tell Us that people
ought to eat more onions. The surest
test of true love is to go up against
a robust onion breath and come away
without getting cold feet. The man
who can stand up under the passion
ate aroma of a kiss charged with on
ion salad will never go into the di-
vorce court. A fiat chested onion
which has not been oyerworked will
bring tears to a mans eyes quicker
than an appeal for the foundling's
home. You a spray a sliced onion
on a swollen tonsil, and after. it gets
a sociable clutch on your transmitter
you will welcome death in any form.
There is something about an onion
diet which will make a meek man as
chesty as a hot air merchant at the
farmers institute. After a man has
inhaled seven raw onions without a
chaser he is liable to go home and
kick the trimmings off the sideboard.
An onion which has been allowed to
sprout a full beard will break up a
swell dinner quicker than a fat man
who has crossed a link of asparagus
with a Queen olive. If you want to
make yourself solid with the social
set, festoon your breath with onion
soup and watt your thoughts across
the parlor in a loud, coarse whisper.

Billy Sunday i'm Waterloo.

The most wonderful sermons that
have ever been preached by man,
are those being delivered in Water
loo by the famous eX-base ball
champion, Rev. VIM. A. Sunday.
Mr.. Sunday has travelled all over
the world. His research for infor-
nation has been gathered from all
corners of the globe. 1t has been
stated that the most distinguished
lecturers ever brought to Waterloo
and other cities for one-nlght
lecture have been paid as high as
$1,000. Any lecturer who could
give the general information that
Mr.. Sunday gives in one of his SER
mons would be paid $1,000 night
on a lecture course. These wond-
erful sermons are being printed in
full by the Waterloo Evening Cou-
rier, and every one should read
them, even il they have been able
to hear some of them delivered. 1t
will be a great education. The pa
pers should be filed away and kept
for future reference. The Courier
is able to furnish practically all of
the back numbers since the meet
ings began and will send them, in
Guiding all future numbers contain
ing the sermons, for the small sum
of fifty cents.
