WARNS BUTCHERS.

Food Commissioner Cook has issued
the following circular to the butchers
and meat dealers of the state:
| desire to call the attention of
butchers and dealers in meats to three
requirements of our law, which, | fear,
are being overlooked to some extent:
L. The matter of p~reservatives
Borax or boric acid and sulphites are
not allowed, under any circumstances
under our law. Borax, or boric acid,
or compounds containing them, are
frequently sold under coined names,
such as Konservirung's Sale, that
give no indication of the presence Of
such substances.
II any butcher is in doubt as to any
OF these preparations and will send
an ounce sample, together with the
complete label and the name of the
manufacturer, We will make an exami-
nation without charge and report same
to him.
2. Under our law, it constitutes
adulteration to add -four or water to
sausage, unless the presence and per
cent of such cereal or water, or both,
are shown on every package which Is
sold.
5. IL IS also a VlOldClOn Oh our Law
to sell a mixture Of lard and tallow
as lard"
desire also to warn butchers
against using impure ice as a cooling
agent in contact with meat. Such ice
may be used, however, it not too bad,
when not allowed to come in contact
with the meat.
Shops should be kept in clean and
sanitary condition. Splitting promiscu
ously around the premises should be
avoided. Spittoons should be provided
and the same cleaned every day.

GENEALOGICAL REPORT FOR
MARCH.

Prof. Glenn has just issued Bulletin
No. 4 on the weather conditions for
the month Of March.
THE weather in South Dakota dur
ing March, 1910, was on the whole un.
March Of which there is any official
record. The average temperature for
the month vas Is degrees above nor.
NAL, and 8 degrees higher than the
highest near temperature for March
in 20 preceding years. AS a result,
the snow remaining on the ground
when the month opened, melted rapid.
ly and caused high water in the prinCi.
pal streams.
The snowfall during the month,
which practically all occurred after
the 25th, vas confined almost entirely
to the western portion of the state,
particularly to the Black Hills district.
The snowfall Of this district ranged
from nothing in the southern portion
to 40.4 inches at Greenmount, Lawr-
ence county. On the 29-30th a storm
OF heavy and moist snow, part Of the
ed this district. Mild weather i'm

able Of the snow that fell during this
storm.
THE month closed with the water
in the streams east of the Black Hills
district %receding, and the Black Hills
streams carrying an average of some
what more than the normal amount Of
water for the season.
Except in the more elevated por,
tons OF the Black Hills district, there
was little or no snow remaining on the
ground either ON the 18th or at the
close of the month" c. Willis.

A HOTEL SOLD.

A Hot Springs dispatch says that a
deal of more than ordinary impor-
lance and magnitude has just been
completed in that city, which involves
the very heart and most extensive part
of Hot Springs. The Evans hotel prop
erty, together with the plunge bath,
the Hot Springs hotel and the Mime
kahta bath house and springs have
been sold be the Iowa Land company
to Frank James of Groton. S. D.; DR..
F. f. Walker, of this city; Frank Bloc
berg, of Minneapolis, Mimi; F. r. Post.
of lie Mars, To-, and Fred James, of
Sleepy Eye, MINI. The purchase price
is 100000 and the transfer will be
made Immediately, although the pres
ent lessee, George A. Turner, will be
permitted to continue with his lease
until its expiration in October.
The new owners will incorporate in
the sum of 100000.
The property included in this estate
overs that built and developed by the
late Fred T Evans, who came to Hot
Springs from Sioux City in the early
SOS and became n of the principal
stockholders of the old Dakota Hot
Springs company. He Immediately set
about it in his great and hopeful en-
thusiasm to build what he believed
that portion of the state demanded,
and what this particular locality seem
ed to be so peculiarly adapted to-a
great health and pleasure resort That
his far seeing judgment justified his
action is being proven as time progress
ses, and today the improvements
which he made from 1885 to 1892, and
which at that time many thought were
far beyond what would ever be requir-
ed, are really inadequate for the bust
of the city, although they are
doubtless the finest buildings in the
state. The whole plan Of Mr.. Evans
has shown his shrewdness and far
s~ightedness, and while the panic of
1892, following closely upon his ex-
tensive building era, caused his finan-
cial ruin and lost him the property, the
buildings and improvements then made
by him stand as beautiful and durable
monuments to his master mind and
love for this charming re-
sort.
The new company is understood to
have close to a couple of million dol
dollars for improvements.

STATE COLLEGE NOTES.

Tuesdays chapel period was given
over to the management of the Cole
gian for the purpose of holding their
annual election of editor and business
manager. The election was unusually
quiet and only II nomination was
made for each position. Jay Getting
ham was nominated for editor by the
junior class and Ben S%chraphorst was
nominated for business manager by
the sophomore class. Both were elected
by reclamation. Mr.. Cottingham is
a man that has an excellent reputation
for literary work. He is ey-president
of the Athenian Literary Society, As
Sociate Editor of the 1911 Jack Rabbit
and a member of the intercollegiate
debating team that meets North Da-
kota Agricultural College at Fargo on
April, %. Mr.. Cottingham is eminentiy
qualified to fill this position and we
feel sure that he will make the Collie
sian worthy of the support of the stu
dent body. Mr.. Schaphorst Is also 4
member of the intercollegiate debat-
ing team and is at the present time
scientific editor of the Collegian. He
has recently made a study of college
publications and believes that it will
be possible for the state college to
publish a weekly next year. Other
institutions Of no larger attendance or
higher rank than the state college
have weekly publications and there
has been an agitation on foot several
times for a weekly paper in this
school and now that it has taken a
definite form we do not doubt that it
will become a reality and that Mr..
Sc%haphorst will successfully carry out
his present plans if the student body
are willing to support him.
A meeting of the athletic associa-
ton was held on Tuesday for the pur-
pose of deciding whether or not this
school would vote to admit Sioux
Falls College into the state inter-col-
legiate atheletic association and 1t
was decided to refer this matter to the
local athletic board to decide. The
members present also expressed an
almost unanimous desire that the
athletic monogram be changed from
the present letters, S. d S. C. to a
large b. and a committee was appoint
ed to investigate this matter and make
a report. Before the meeting ad-
journed William Sauder was elected
second vice president to fill the vacan-
cy that had recently occurred on the
board.
The state pharmaceutical board is
holding an examination in the rooms
OF the pharmacy department on We'd
nesday and Thursday of this week.

Rapids. Mr. Schwartz will be remem.
bered as a former student of the state
college. About fifty persons, among
which are three of this years sopho'
more pharmacy class, are expected to
take this examination.
At the annual O~ratorical contest
held in the college chapel on April Is,

Unable to Explain Why He Left
Louisville So Suddenly.

Louisville, KY, Dec. Before the re-
sumption of the trial this morning Of

murder of S-year-old Alma Kellner, the
report spread that Vending would go

a large crowd filed the court room.

and showed plainly the effects of a
sleepless night. His nervousness in

out a glass of water from pitcher
near the witness stand, gulping down
the contents.
Vending was unable to explain why
he had left Louisville. He admitted
that the position he held at st. Johns
church was better than any he had af-

PLENTY OF BIG MONEY.

While some Of US may not be getting
what we consider to be our full snare
of it, there is no disputing the fact that
there is plenty Of money floating
around among the people, and much OF
it is in big bills. =,
"I have never seen the like before"
said Treasurer Neil yesterday. 1t Is
common thing to have negroes whose
tax amount only to a dollar or such a
matter to hand you twenty dollar Dill
to take it out of. and they sometimes
keep me running to the bank for
change several times day.
This time last year 1t was common
to see taxpayers of this class going
TO one pocket for a quarter, another
for a dime and another for a nickel TO
make up the amount Of their taxes.
They generally managed to make the
change, and that was about all there
was to it; but this year. 1t Is necessary
for me to have ten and five dollar bllis
with which to make change. The bllls
they give me are often so large that
silver will hardly do for change.
while I was in the bank day or
two ago, saw a clerk from one of the
mercantile establishments making a
denosit of a large amount of silver, and
It occurred to me that this was what
became of the large quantities or
change that I had been getting from
the banks to give back to the taXpay-
ers."
AS he talked, Treasurer Neil was
Strengthening up a large pile of bank
notes and silver certificates, and indi-
eating a stack of dollar silver certifi-
Gates some four or five inches thick.
remarked that there were more or
these in the country also than had ever
been seen before. He thinks that they
are displacing silver dollars largely be-
cause the express and postage rates
on them are lighter than on the silver.
