II years, 8 months and 26 days.
He was married in 1852 to Miss Sophia

den, and during the past few years has
been commander of the local post of the
G. A. r. and Colonel of this division.
To know him was IT, love him. During
the past year while in constant pain and
after extreme suffering he was patient
and never complaining. His life was a
sermon. He often spoke of the home
to which he was going, and in his last
hours, expressed desire to be at rest.
All that kind friends could do was kind
~ given during his sickness and the de-
votion Of his loving wife and daughters
was most tender and sweet during his
long illness.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. F. A. Doty, assisted by male
quartette composed of M. ]. Bailey,
Chas. E. Smith, Carl Olson and Mark
Willis. The members of his G. A. r.
Post attended in body and conducted
the closing services at the grave. Mr..
Cruson had often expressed a desire to
be buried with military honc.s and his
old comrades were deeply affected az
they tenderly performed these last sad
ceremonies. Mr.. Carl Olson sounded
taps, and firing squad fred the volley,
thus closing the ceremonies of the end.
ing of a noble life.
4 life full ripe, with year. ofservice,
Years Of toll and faith and love,
Called to his eternal dwelling,
At home, In peace and rest above.
Close the windows Of this temple,
Fold the arms In peaceful rest,
For the soul Is called to heaven,
With the brave, forever blest.
Weep not at this sudden parting.
Though your hearts are broken sore,
He has only gone before you,
Where these partings come no more.

Death Calls Another Pioneer.

Saturday morning, July 2, 1910, Death
released from his sufferings an old and
valued citizen-Judge A. T. Feay.
The news brought sensation of per-
sonal loss to many. The deceased had
been a prominent figure in Custer coun-
ty for so long that it was painful to real.
ize that he had indeed passed forever
away from the stage of life.
Alfred Taylor Feay was born in Man,
chester, England, May l6, lS43. He
came to this country at the age of 81
and entered the military service of the
United States at once, joining the 4Sth
Infantry, New York. After the war was
over he came out to Omaha still in the
Government employ and served rs CHIEF
clerk in the Quartermaster's depart
ment, also in the same capacity at Fort
Mcpherson for four years. He was
married to Carrie E. Smith in 1871 anC
there were born to this marriage foul
children, two of whom died in infancy,
The others, the Misses Ora and Edith
with the wife and mother, live to mourn
an irreparable loss.
Judge Feay came to the Black Hill'
first in 1875, again in 1877 was in Dead
wood and finally settled in Custer il
1879.
The record of his abilities and charac
ter, as of the high appreciation in which
he was held by the citizens of Custe1
county can be told by one statement. II
one capacity or other he served tn,
town and county officially for over TWEEN
ty.6ve years. A very long time and I
high tribute indeed to the worth of tn,
man go honored.
Judge Feay was stricken with a fata
disease more than year since and hi
sufferings have been very great, bu
borne with heroic fortitude. He lovet
life, but was resigned to leave it. Sol
dier-like in his qualities to the last, h
faced death calmly. Judge Feay will b.
greatly missed, not in his family alone
for whom his solicitude and care wa
always acknowledgement in the town an,
county of Custer.
The funeral service was held at tn
home Sunday afternoon July Sd, con
Quoted by the pastor of the Congrega
tional church, of which he was an oil
and valued member:
At the grave the G. A. r. took charge
The quartstte sang ''Tenting Tonight

Under the above caption the sedaria

"He will have to explain to govern

"An inspector had visited him two
months previously, and his subscription

Burlington May Raise Wages of Men

Burlington May Raise Wages of Men.
Chicago, June GA general volun-
tary advance in wages for all unorgan-
lied employees, who were not affected
by the recent decisions of the various
arbitration boards is being considered
by the management of the Burlington
railroad. While no definite percent
age of increase has yet been decided
upon, it is believed that it will be in the
neighborhood of per cent.
Estimates are being prepared show
ing how many employees of the system
will be affected, and how much the ad-
vance in wages would affect the pay
rolls before taking any definite action.
There are over $4,000 employees on the
Burlington system, of whom between 80
and 70 per cent are organized, leaving
approximately about 10000, who would
be affected by the increases now under
consideration. No decision has yet
been reached as to how soon the men
will be given the higher rates, but it
may come early in the fall.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The twenty.fourth annual Teachers
Institute of Custer county convened in
the Custer school house from June 9th
to July lst. About thirty-fve teachers
were present. Miss Jane McGrath and
Professor F. J. Kelley, both members of
the Spearfish Normal faculty were the
instructors, Miss McGrath teaching pri-
mary methods and music, while MIR.
Kelley covered psychology, history, by
gene, geography and moral training.
Throughout the week the Lecture
method of instruction was employed and
the teachers are glad that more stress is
being placed on what to teach and how
to teach it than simply preparation work
for examinations.
1t is the earnest wish of every teacher
that all patrons of Custer county schools
could have heard these lectures and
have seen the demonstration work. In
all primary subjects the greatest empha-
sis was placed on making things con-
crete for the child and training him in
matters of obedience and courtesy. Per-
haps the most helpful thoughts that the
teachers carried away with them were: :
Remember that we are teaching chill
dren and not subjects" and "study the
development and needs of the child"
An especially fine collection of mat
weaving, clay modelling, water color
painting and cut work was displayed for
the benefit of the teachers and many
gained new and helpful ideas there
from.
In psychology, Mr.. Kelly gave an ex-
cellent review of the minute and deli
cate structure of the nervous system and
the ear and eye. The chief reason for
this work was its close connection with
the forming of habits and also that the
physical counterparts of any element in
consciousness are the tangible things
that We may study as a means to secur-
ing states of consciousness. We have
space for but very brief resume of the
elementary subjects.
Geography should be taught with an
idea of the unity of the child's mind.
Everything taught along this line should
be related to the use that man can make
of it.
Hygiene and physiology should be
taught only as they enable US to take
better care of our bodies. Therefore
hygiene should be fundamental and
physiology secondary. Good health,
emergencies, sanitation, alcoholic drinks,
etc., should be the standpoints of our
study.
In history the principal idea should
be that Of toleration. Children should
be taught that all events in history have
had two sides and that each was sup.
ported by men of honest convictions
Patriotism should result from the teach
ing of history, but it should be a wide
enough patriotism to include a sympa.
thy for the rights of everyone.
Altogether the week was q most help
full one to the teachers and each one will
60 out stronger and anxious to become
t more efficient in the profession.

THREE MAY QUIT
CABINET POSTS
Sweeping Reconstruction with
Messrs. BaIIinger, Dickinson
and Hitchcock Out.

WASHINGTON, March 10. = AL.
though President Taft IS cabinet is only
a year old, there are persistent rumors
to the effect that there will be more
than one change in it within the next
five months.
There is report that the secretary
of war, Mr.. Dickinson. will resign in
order to enter the race for United
States senator against Senator Frazier.
The Democratic party in Tennessee is
split wide open and there is a feeling
that harmony could be restored by the
election of Mr.. Dickinson to succeed
Mr.. Frazier. The primaries will not be
held until next August, but it is ex-
pected, if Mr.. Dickinson finally decides
to enter the contest, he will resign be-
fore that time.
The rumor will not down that the
life of Mr.. Ballinger as a member of
the President s family will be short.
The President is standing Loyalty by the
secretary of the interior in the face of
the charges against him now under in.
vestigation and has no thought of sup
planting him. 1t is understood, how.
ever, that whatever may be the report
of the investigating committee Mr.. Bal
linger will resign. He is already weary
of the Office, which entails more worry
under existing circumstances than he
contemplated, and if he is vindicated
at the hands of the committee, he
would not feel that he was retiring
under a cloud. If, on the other hand,
the committee brought in verdict
against Mr.. Ballinger he would, of
course, relieve the President of any
embarrassment by promptly leaving the
cabinet.
The postmaster-ge general, Mr.. Hitch
cock, is not occupying a bed of roses
these days. For some reason, which has
not yet become public property, he is
in disfavor with several of the senate
leaders, the political demands made
upon him are such that he has 10 work
until late at night in order to attend
to his departmental work, and the de-
mands for patronage from those with
whom he was associated In the presi-
dental campaign are becoming irksome.
II is understood that Mr.. Hitchcock
is interested in Arizona and despite de,
mails, il is known that he is intensely
anxious to represent that State in the
United States senate. Until his next
berth in the political world Is definitely
settled, however. 1t is probable Mr.
Hitchcock will stay in the cabinet.

SHORTAGE OF BnBrs.

Reports on the European beet crop
received here recently indicate that
continental beet sugar need not be taken
into consideration TO any great extent
for at least two years. The fact that
this years European crop is hope
lessly short has become pretty well
known, but it is NOT so generally known
that the planted area for next year
will not be as was expected owing to
scarcity of seed.
The bad season which sent the prices
Of beet sugar soaring, also resulted in
shortage of seed and practically all
that is being used in European planting
is two years old. This scarcity of seed
not only affected the planted area, but
it is feared that the yield may not be
up to the standard even on the land
planted.
Just how long raws can be held down
o their present quotation is question
which agents and brokers are asking
themselves. The world Is available
sugar supply has been pretty well gaug-
ed by now, the probable size of the
Cuban crop has been estimated pretty
closely and every other source has been
taken into consideration. AT that the
supply seems inadequate to meet the
demand and 6 cent sugar seems more
than possibility.
Local Plantations.
Conditions on Kauai plantations are
quite satisfactory according to most re-
cent advices. In many instances the
percentage of sugar in the juice is not
running quite as high as last year, but
this is about compensated for by slight
ly increased yields. 1t is believed that
on nearly all plantations the managers
estimates will at least be fulfilled.
Yesterday witnessed another dull day
on the local stock market. Evidently
the active sugar market is having an
inverse effect for the brighter the out
look for dividends becomes, the less in
dication of trading there seems to be.
But two sales of any size were re-

.ANT|-JAPANESE
bills IN CONGRESS
Hayes of California Pressing Two
Measures That Irritate
Some in Toxic.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-The sit.
uation in the far Orient is complicated
again. Congressman Hayes of Califor.
mia is pressing bills, one of which
proposes to require that every immi.
grant entering this country shall be re-
quired to read European language. The
other requires that no person shall be
allowed to enter the United States un.
less he is eligible to naturalization.
The requirement that an immigrant
shall be able to read a European Ian.
guage is intended to be carried through
the house under the sentiment for an
educational test. Obviously, hardly
any Japanese who seeks entrance will
be able to speak European language.
Therefore, he must stay out. The other
proposal that no person may enter I'M
less he is eligible to naturalization is
even more sweeping. The present natu.
tralizaion law provides that no Asiatic
may be naturalized. Hence the Asiatics
can not enter. The bill itself provides
a very few exceptions, such as students
and travellers.
Both of these measures are ingenious.
ly drawn to dodge the superficial APP
pearance of discriminating against the
Japanese. They have repeatedly said
that they care not what restrictive leg
islation this country enacts, provided it
shall have a universal application.
every good,' says Mr.. Hayes, in
effect through his action, eve shall
give you general legislation. AS gen.
eral proposition we shall lay down the
rule that we want no persons in this
country except those who may ulti.
mately become Americans. That shall
apply to everybody, and it falls within
the terms You have stated"
But it is obvious that the Japanese
can not be pleased with any such legis-
lation. While the language is general,
the effect of the naturalization provi-
sion is to say that one of Colonel Roose-
velt's black porters in Africa may en-.
ter this country, but that one of Kuro.
ki's veterans must stay at home.
Under the educational test Slav
who can read his own language may
enter the United States II he has the
other qualifications, but Japanese who
can read japanese may not get through
| the door. If the japanese could read
Slavic he woull be admitsedl There hal
already been some little sign of uneasi
ness in Japan over the naturalization
provision, but the educational test pro
vso has not yet gone far enough Il

there. When II Is made known th'
