of the suspected bank robbers con
fined in the county Jail, made an at
TEMPT to escape Saturday afternoon.
They have been in the second story
OF the Jail and during the day Sheriff
Miles has allowed them the run of
the corridor, where there is a stove,
as the cells are pretty chilly. They
did not appreciate his kindness, how
ever, and partially sawed away the
steel lock on one of the windows.
Persons in the court house saw them
ar work and informed the sheriff and
now they are in the chilly cells in
stead of outside in the cold world.
The sheriff had been watching them,
expecting something of the kind, and
ii is rather doubtful if they would
have escaped. The work was prob
ably done with a piece of wire, but
the cut vas a neat one and if left in
the corridor all night they might have
gotten away.
one of the first special bills for an
appropriation in the state legislature
when it conVenes next month will be
presented by the senator and repre-
sentative from Lyman county. This
will ask for the appropriation of a
sufficient sum of money to establish
agricultural experiment station to
be managed by the State College here.
The movement was started by the
Vivian Commercial club and the Wv
ian grange when a mass meeting was
called to discuss the proposition. 1t
is designed to have the station locat-
ed at the center of Lyman county,
which is Vivian, and a movement will
be started by the Commercial club
to enlist the assistance of all other
localities in the county. 1t is as
serted that there is great need for an
experimental station in that county
in order to ascertain just what is the
best seed and grain to plant there
to obtain the best crop results.

The farmers of Nebraska figure
they are twenty-five million bushels
OF corr ahead this fall because they
planted tested seed instead Of de
pending upon the cribbed corn as in
former years. Generally South Da-
kota farmers planted good seed last
spring. but there were enough who
carelessly put bad seed into the
ground to Isl us ten million bushels
of corr that We might have had for
the picking. 1t does not cost a penny
mere to bring a fifty bushels to the
acre field up to picking time, than it
does to bring a fifteen bushel crop up

money on corn picking, plant bad

There is considerable speculation
as to whom President Taft will name
as successor to Judge Garland as
United States Judge for South Da-
kota. The president does not neces-
sarily have to appoint a South Da-
kota man, but it is presumed the
place will go to a resident of this
state. j.. d. Elliott, attorney for the
Milwaukee, has been prominently
mentioned, but the fact that he would
have to pass on all railroad rate
cases has been urged as a sufficient
reason why he should not be appoint

formerly judge of the sixth circuit, and
one of the prominent attorneys Of
the state, has also been mentioned,

other candidates.

by memory OF the famous case Of the

Something like an epidemic OF in

thirty children are afflicted with that
terrible disease. Fears are expressed
that 1t may spread across the state
and become general. II rarely attacks
children above thea ge- Of five but cases
are knownwhere even adults have not
been immune. The disease IS pro-
nounced trans1nissible by no less au-
thority than DR.. Anderson, head Of the

and hygiene who asserts that it Is
conveyed thru the agency of the sail
vary glands and the nasal mem
branes
This is very serious matter. 1t
needs the most active Investigation by
the health authorities Of the state, not
by students and those not thoroughly
qualified. but by the most com petent
and highly trained specialists. No
doubt the general danger Is accumulated
by fear but 1t IS evident that a very
serious condition exists which may
very easily become appalling.
There should be immediate and de-
cisive action to prevent contagion. In
fantile paralysis seems TO be In a class
with cerebro spinal meningitis and

GOOD ROADS.

dubuque Times-Journall.
The democrats at Ottumwa declared
IN favor Of helping the good roads
movement by means OF "a law provid-
ing for the return 10 the several coun-
ties OF the state OF a fair proportion OF
the hunters license, tax and the. auto
mobile tax. the Same TO be used for the
extension OF good roads"
Such a law in itself would be OF no
value to the good roads movement. so
long as It remains with local authority
to determine what the tax levy for
roads shall be the total expenditures OF
the road district will be kept within a
certain sum. If the state contribute cd
half Of that sum the local authorities
would reduce the road tax accordingly.
The good roads movement could be
furthered best by transferring juris-
diction to the state, but the county
supervisors and the road supervisors
will never agree to this ana the state
convention would have offended them
had It suggested such q policy.
