Enemy of Law Fined

j. H. Troeh, of Watertown. the
man who was responsible for the
referendum of the state game law,
who formulated the petitions and
started them in circulation in op-
position to State Game Warden
Bancroft, who lives here. has final
ly landed in the warden's dragnet
and made to pay for rebelling
against a just law. He has been ar
rested and fined $25 and costs for
shooting prairie chicken.
The conviction of Troeh is pleas
ing both to the county and state
wardens, since he has for nearly
four years defied the law and posed
as sportsman, who was superior
to enactment of any kind tending
to curtail or regulate the method
and time of killing wild birds.
When the present game law was
passed at the session of 1907,
Troeh at once attacked the provi-
sion making a closed season for
prairie chickens for q period of
five years, and this was the prime
cause for the referendum of the
law, which, however, was emphat-
ically approved by the people. It
is understood that Troeh, who is q
dealer in sportsmen's goods, will
try to secure a repeal of many of
the restrictive provisions of the
game law at the session this winter.

A Sad Case

Midland Mail: DR.. Minarc
was called last Friday to thu
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard H
Dildine, near Moenville. On ar.
irving at the house he found tina,
a % calibre rifle bullet had passed
through the left ear and entered
the brain of their little son Rich.
ard, aged six years. The wound
must have caused instant death.
The child was an only son. AT
the time of the accident the boy
and his mother were alone in the
house. Mrs. Dildine says that
she took the rifle out to shoot a
chicken and on returning to the
house was putting the gun away,
when in some manner unknown to
her it was discharged with the
fatal result noted above. The boy
was buried on the claim which
would have been his had he lived
to reach the years of manhood.
Later developments have gone
to show that there may have been
an element in this case which
changes it somewhat. Neighbors
of the family say that Mrs. Dill
dine has for a number of years
been subject to fits of insanity and
the belief is expressed that the
mother killed the boy during one
of these Temporary arrangements.
Deputy Sheriff Calhoun went up
to the claim Sunday and brought
the woman down, taking her to
Fort Pierre on the early morning
train, where the coroner's jury and
insanity commission will make an
investigation of the case. The
story of the shooting above is as
she told it, but there are grave
doubts as TO its truth.

Bookkeeping and Penmanship

have been requested to start a
class in penmanship and double
entry bookkeeping and exercises
in rapid computation. / might pos,
sibly do this if a class of twenty
would join. A class of that num-
Der could be taken through the
course for about ten dollars apiece,
each student furnishing his own
books, paper, pen and ink, which
would probably cost around three
dollars more. Anyone with an
ordinary education should be able
to master double entry bookkeep-
ing in sixty days. A good business
man has done it in two weeks.
There is nothing difficult about
the science. 1t is something every
body should know, for it is fund
amental requisite in the success of
our every day commercialism. A
person who is accurate and rapid
in computation and a fair penman,
has great advantage over a grad
uate who has undertaken to mas
ter all the subjects embraced in
the course whether Latin or Eng
lish. The hurry to graduate is re-
sponsible for this skiming process.
1t is fact that nine out of ten of
our high school graduates of today
can't define an abstract, concrete
or prime number, without refer
ing to their books. The fault is
not the student but the system.
One of the great defects of our
educational propaganda is, it does
not fit young men and women for
the business affairs of life, which
should be really the aim of our
schools. Winter in the temper
ature zone is long period of sus-
pended business for a great many
avocations. The human mind must
be active in something. 1t cannot
remain dormant. If not occupied
in things elevating 1t will be active
in things degrading, No better
advice can be given than that
which turns their minds to things
that are essential to their financial
welfare. H. Durkee.

Why Object?

In some parts of the country
there seems to be an inOrdinate de-
sire with a certain class of public
officials to prevent the extension of
the Telepost system of automatic
telegraphy, which in pursuance of
it's policy of national expansion
plans to connect as soon as feasible
its lines from Chicago to Pierre
and other cities and towns in South
Dakota including, Aberdeen, HUI
ron, Mitchell, Sioux Falls, Yank-
ton and Philip.
1t is difficult to conceive on what
grounds a public servant who has
an honest regard for the welfare
of his constituents can lend him
self to a plan designed to exclude
this we'll approved system from
any state, city or township it as
pires to enter. If those who are
shaping its destiny recognize a
public demand for its service and
are willing to supply it, why inter-
pose an objection to its extension9
All the company asks of the pub
lie is right of way, which means
the right to do business, for the
benefit of the public, a right to
which every legitimate American
enterprise is entitled. The Tele-
post wants no subsidy and is not a
petitioner for financial assistance
from any state or municipal body.
Its plans contemplate no abridge-
ment or encroachment upon any
right enjoyed by any community
from Maine to California.
There is no more reason why
we should restrict the telegraph
business of this state to two tele-
graph companies, who are nomin-
ally one, than we should put an
embargo on more than two rail-
roads, or two public service insti-
tutions of any kind, whose function
will add to the comfort, convent
ence and economic advantage of the
public.
The Telepost offers to transmit
telegraph messages from the At
lsntic to the Pacific at maximum
rate of one cent and a minimum
rate of one quarter of one cent q
word, regardless of time or dis
tance. Surely this is no reason
why it should be debarred from
competing for business with the
monopoly. The Telepost sends
over its wires messages at speed
of 1000 words a minute, as against
the 20 to $50 words minute of it's
high priced rivals. This may be a
legitimate objection to the ,monop-
oily which is numbering along in
the same old way it did in the days
of Morse but in the capacity for
useful service which it reveals
there is an appeal to popular sup
port which no legislator, however
Indifferent he may be to the inter-
est of his constituency can afford
to ignore.
Lower telegraph rates and a
more efficient service have long
been demanded in this country.
If the Telepost can meet this nation
wide demand it certainly should
be encouraged to do so. We are
of the opinion that it will find a
cordial welcome in every commu-
J nifty to which it is introduced.

Nebraska's Lost Towns
Nebraska is the state of lost
towns. Since the time of its set
tlement, sixty years ago, more than
800 of them have disappeared.
Some went into the NAV of the
shifting Missouri river. Others
were the victims of hard luck of
one kind and another. The shift
ing of county seats brought doom
on some of them. Not a few were
left stranded when the railroads
decided to take other routes.
Perhaps the history of Archer
is as interesting as that of any of
these almost forgotten communi-
ties. The first territorial legisla-
ture, which met in 1885, made
Archer the seat of Richardson
county. Among it's earliest SET
tiers was q party of French. They
married Indian squaws and reared
numerous families.
Curiously enough it was this fact
that wiped Archer off the map.
When the government put into
effect the reservation method of
dealing with the Indians it found
itself confronted with the problem
arising out of the presence of so
many French half breeds. AS a
solution of it the commissioners
decided to set aside special reser-
vation in Richardson county for
these families.
When the survey was made it
was found that the town of Arch
or was included in the reservation.
The army post was abandoned, the
capital was located elsewhere, the
railroads passed it by, it dwindled
into = mere hamlet, and the uni
versity closed its doors. It's pros
perity lasted seven years, ard,
although Archer men sought to
have the government change its
lines, they were unsuccessful, and
within q few months there was
nothing left of the town.
Fort Calhoun, the site of the
Lewis and Clark treaty with the
Indians in 1904, was in the early
sixties town of about 1900 per-
sons, due, in part, to the proxim-
ity to the military post. 1t was
then the county seat of Washing.
ton county and q strong contender
for choice as the capital when the
whites decided that they would not
live in a reservation town or re-
tain it as q county seat.
Fontenelle, another Washington
county town, now hamlet, had a
college once, did much trading
with the Indians and freighters and
was the county seat of Dodge
county. The politicians changed
the county lines at q legislative
session when Fontenelle wasn't
looking and threw it into WASH
ington county, which caused it to
be overshadowed and speedily
killed.
Bellevue and Florence, both To-
Gated near Omaha, the one south
and the other north along the
Missouri, were each at one time
much larger than Omaha. Flor
ence once had 5000 people; now
it has less than 600. 1t was the
winter quarters of . great number
of Mormons, who camped there
while on there way to Utah in the
late forties and early fifties. Later
it was the westernmost point of
heavy immigration.
For . time it was doubtful
whether Omaha or Florence would
win in the race between the two
cities, but when the scales turned
sinsfavor of Omaha by favor of the
Union Pacific railroad Florence
became almost q deserted village.
