SUPERINTENDENT ARRESTED.

Z. r. Brown, superintendent of the
city schools, was arrested last week
on a warrant sworn out by Geo. Etting.
The charge was assault and battery,
which offense is alleged to have been
committed upon the person of Fittings
eleven-year-old son. 1t seems that the
boy did something in school, which
the superintendent thought merited
severe punishment and he administer
ed it. The boys parents thought 9TH
erwise and caused Mr.. Browns arrest.
He was brought before City Justice
Trygstad Thursday afternoon at the
city hall. The prosecution was in
charge Of States Attorney Eden and
the attorney for the defense was w. E.
Purdy, Of the law firm Of Hall, Roddle
& Purdy. On motion Of the defense a
change of venue was granted and case
taken to the court Of Justice Morris,
east of the city, Judge Morris set the
hearing for Saturday afternoon, but
before that time the case was dis
missed on motion of the prosecution.
1t is reported that the case has not
been dropped, but will be brought up
at the April term of circuit court.
However, it is to be hoped that the
matter is ended. Without going into
the merits of either side Of the con-
troversy, we believe that no good can
come to the schools by further motor
iety in the court room. We think that
all good citizens will agree that there
are other and better ways to dispose
of it.

COMET is VISIBLE.

Halley's comet is now approaching
rapidly, according to Washington
scientists, and with favorable metro
logical conditions will be visible to
the naked eye this week. BY early
next week, it is expected, the celes-
tial visitor will be in plain sight. 1t
will be visible all through April and
will be at its brightest in May, attain
ing it's maximum trilliancy on May 1.
Those who desire to- have look at
the comet may do so by taking up it
position, directly it becomes dark, fac
ing due south. Find out Sirius, the
"dog-star,' low down on the horizon on
your left hand side. Take a perpen-
dicular line from this till you come to
the constellation of Gemini, or The
Twins" one above the other. Mid
way between these the comet passed
In October last, going to the right, on
through the constellation of Taurus,
to- the two planets Mars and Saturn,
both high up in the south east. Plan
cts do not twinkle, and, moreover, Mars
is possessed of a distinct reddish tinge.
The comets path lay between these
two last month, and the comet itself
will be found some distance to the
right. An easier way probably to- find
Mars and Saturn will be to take a line
to the right from the top star Of the
Gemini, at an angle Of about Is de,
grees, till you come to five little stars
all clustered together. These are the
Pleiades. Continue the line at an equal
distance and you will find the planets
in question. The above position of
the stars refers to the time directly il
becomes quite dark. If viewed say,
two hours later, all the stars will have
moved to the right and Mars and Sa-
turn will be found sinking in the west.

COUNTY AUDITORS MEET.

County Auditor o. j. Bitterness re.
turned home Thursday night from

the tax levy for the coming year. Mr..
Bitterness reports ar unusually large
attendance, every county but three be.

Land valuation in a number Of coun.
ties In the central and western parts
of the state were raised, and it is
believed that the assessment in the

counties in the state where the farm
land is at a greater valuation.

Aurora, Brown Buffalo, Clark, Custer,
Douglas, Fall River, Gregory, Hand
Harding, Hughes, Hyde, Lawrence, Ly'
man, Meade, Miner, Sanborn. Stanley
Two counties, Trip and Pennington
were lowered.
Very little change was made in the
personal property. Pianos were re-
duced from $40 to $50 and organs from
s12 to s.. Sheep were lowered from
50 to $3.50 through a hard fight made
by the western counties.

The game has awakened the base
ball fans of the city and there are
prospects for a number Of games in
the near future provided the weather
remains good. There is considerable
talk of a ward league similar to the
one two years ago and it is likely
than an organization meeting will be
held within q few days. The plan is
to have a board of five directors, one
from each of the four wards and one
at large which will hay, charge
of the games. TIL teams will
each play about twelve games and
the one with the greatest majority of
victories will be presented with a
pennant. 1t is planned to start the
league some time in May and play one
or two games a week.

For some weeks there has been
vague rumors floating about the city
regarding the purity, or rather i'm
purity of the water supply Of the city,
both from the city tank and from pri-
vate wells. 1t has been claimed that
the water was infected with typhoid
germs, although there has been but
very few, If any cases Of typhoid in
the city. However, to set all rumors
at rest DR.. Hyde, chairman Of the
board of health, gathered samples from
the tanks and private wells and had
DR.. Moore, the zoologist and veterin-
arian at the college, make a thorough
test, and in the following letter address
sed to DR.. Hyde DR.. Moore gives the
result of his findings:
I'm compliance with your request

THEOLOGICAL examination of the city

NEW KIND OF TWINE.

c. e. Burtis Of Minneapolis, repre-
sentative of the Ware Binder Attach
ment company, has been spending the
past few days in the Cit. This COM
pany are the manufacturers of a e
kind of binder Irvine made from raw
fax straw and which sells for about
FIVE cents a pound. The twine, while
strong, is rough md will not work IN
the ordinary knotter used on a binder
and the company makes a special at
tachment for binders to handle it. Mr..
Burtis states that the great advantage
of the new twine is that the farmer can
buy It for less than half what he pays
at present and it also furnishes a mar
ket for his straw. We examined the
Irvine and it looks to be fully as strong
as ordinary binder twine, although 1t
is not as smooth looking. The COM
pany plans to form a number OF subsi-
diary companies in the best towns IN
the northwest, which will manufac
ture the Irvine and serve as a distribu-
ting agent for the binder attachment.
This attachment instead of knotting
the Irvine, fastens 1t together with a
small steel clamp. The Irvine and at
tachment has the c..dorsement OF some
of the best known men in the north
west and II 1t will do what is claimed
It should prove a godsend to the farm
.ers.

BODIES ARE
RECOVERED
TWO YOUNG MEN DRO' I'd
NEAR WATERFOWL.
WHILE HUNTING LAS SAIL
ARE DISCOVERED Flo SING IN
WATERS OF cLEA' SAKE.

The bodies of Je : Kelly and
William Johnson, tn two young
men who were drowned in the
waters of Clear Lake near Wa,
tertown last fall, were recov.
cred on Wednesday of last week. Kelly
was we'll known here, having attended
college and made his home here for
a number of years. The Public Opin.
ion says:
After remaining nearly five months
at the bottom of Clear lake, a slough
about eighteen miles south of the city,
the bodies of William Johnson and
Jerry Kelly, the boys who, while
hunting last fall were drowned, were
discovered early this morning by John
Jeremy Of Saltwater, Mimi, a pro-
fessional body raiser. The bodies
were brought to the city and are now
in the undertaking rooms Of the Cozy
Home.
The bodies are in a much better
condition than was expected. They
have not been touched by anything,
as was thought they would be.
The news Of the discovery reached
the city about 10 o'clock this morning
and a party of business men at once
started for the lake. George B. Ell
lott and P. w. S~choenberger, who,
in the employ Of the city left this
morning to establish a camp on the
lake and keep UP a search, arrived
just in time to help get one of the
boys out Of the lake and into the am
bulance.
John Jeremy, who found the boys,
has been engaged in tie work. OF
searching for the bodies just a week
having arrived here IN March 16. He
went to the lake, and before the ice
broke up searched with a boat and
sled, frequently visiting the few small
patches of open wator.
The wind and sun of yesterday
broke up the ice, and this morning
the greater portion of it had disap
peared. He spent all day yesterday
in the search and started in again this
morning. He found the first body
about 10 o'clock and the other a short
time afterward. They were about
half mile apart, and some distance
out in the lake. 1t is thought they
drifted from the south. Jeremy made
no effort to remove the bodies from
the lake, but anchored them so that
they would not be lost again. He sent
word to the city. An ambulance was
sent.
1t is said the authorities Of Hamlir
county are inclined to think that the
citizens of Watertown did wrong In
taking the bodies out, the lake lying
in that county. The men who brought
the bodies to Watertown stated thai
they acted upon heir W RESPONSE
bility. The bodies were floating In
the lake, IN the midst Of a lot Of small
pieces of ice, and with the high vino
that is blowing, it would have beer
but a few hours before they would
have been badly marred and battered
II the bodies had been brought tt
shore and allowed to remain In the
sun, decomposition would have set II
in a short time.
The bodies are not d~isfigured in any
way.
