Vesssy Believes In Suffrage.

Pierre.-Responding to the request
of 2 New York paper for an expression
on woman's suffrage, Governor r. s.
Nessey wrote as follows:
| have to say that, in my opinion,
the movement is one that will ulti-
mately win. In the first place, | have
been unable to find any good reason
why men should have the right of stuff
rage that does not equally apply to
women. | have no fear that ONE
will be made less womanly because of
the extension to her of this right, and
| do believe that it will materially i'm
prove the quality of conscience eX-
pressed at the ballot box OF the count
ry, and also give to woman a just and
proper consideration in matters per-
tanning to legislation. In other words,
the success of the movement will ac-
complish much for our government
by more adequately ~equaliZing justice
in the interests of the entire citizen
ship.

INVESTIGATION MADE
PERTINENT INQUIRY OF SCHOOL
OFFICER INTO RURAL NEEDS.
Problem of Public Schools the Sub
ject of Four Hundred or More
thoughtful Letters.

Pierre.-In answer to 500 letters,
sent principally to rural school clerks
regarding rural school problems State
Superintendent Lawrence has receiv-
I'd approximately 400 replies, most of
them being very full and ~evidencing
a great deal of thought. Question l,
What do you consider the greatest
weakness Of our school SYSTEM" was
answered poor teachers lack Of
interest on part of parents II too
many classes are assigned to a teach
er in a rural school for her to do eff
ticient work in any"
The query regarding consolidation
of country schools was answered af-
firmatively in practically all cases, the
dissenters basing their opposition on
the ground that our scanty population
would not warrant consolidation.
Many felt that the work did not
meet the need of the pupil and spg-
gested that it be made more practi-
cal, that children be made to work
harder, like we used to have to do"
and that more teachers were needed.
Agricultural, corn growing, sewing
and domestic science competitions
were almost universally endorsed, the
competitive stimulation appealing es-
pecially. There was practically nan
imous sentiment in favor of teaching
these subjects in rural schools.
School taxes, while frequently re-
garded as heavy, were said to be cheer
fully borne. Many replies stated that
the taxpayer without children was
likely to grumble. A number thought
that the taxpayer did not get his mon
ey's worth out of the school tax. All
favored state aid.
h last question, regarding sugges
tions for improvement brought out a
large number of ideas, many of them
suggesting reforms already accom-
plished. There was a general demand
for better libraries, both permanent
and travelling. Better school houses
was another evident need.

JUST BEFORE THE TROUBLE
How Could the Listener Know What
His Friend Was Trying

If any man ever admired his wife,
that man was Howler. And when he

up and sing, There is a Garden in
My Face" the husband Eiowed with
pride.
No matter that she had a face like
a hippopotamus and a voice like an
elephant, he sat beaming as she sang,
and could not refrain from bending
over to his neighbor and Whispering:
Don't you think my wife's got a fine
voice?"
"What?" said his n%eighbor, who
was a little deaf.
Don't you think my wife has got a
fine voice?" repeated Howler.
'What?"
Don't you think my wife's got a
fine voice." roared Howler.
Sorry" returned the neighbor,
shaking his head. Cant catch a word
you say. That awful woman owe
there is making such a frightful row

me about this man Hoyt. His pass
seems to be all right. but your colonel

tail was made for the man. He was
to act as a spy, and the general natur-
ally did not want anything known
about the mans having been taken
from the regiment and ordered to

walking back and forth in front OF
headquarters talking the matter over
when he abruptly stopped and said:
Capt. Parsons, | wish you would tell
me what you would do II the case was
n that required action by you.
His question nearly took my breath
away. There was a brigadier general
virtually asking a captain in one OF
his regiments to tell him what to do.
I said: Gen. Lyle, as you have asked
me | will tell you frankly what l
would do If it was my case. | would
send the man to Gen. Rosecrans' head
quarters with directions that be be
taken to the general. If he holds Gen.
Rosecrans' pass that office WOULD
know at once whether 1t Is genuine
or not"
Without q moment OF hesitation
Gen. Lyle called an orderly and d.
rected that two mounted soldiers, with
an extra horse, report to him without
delay. When they reported he directed
that they take charge Of Hoyt n
conduct him to Gen. Rosecrans' head
quarters, eighteen miles away, that
night. It was at once found that Hoyt
was one of the army spies at liberty
to go where and when he pleased. The
pass was genuine. The vexed problem
was solved. After that we carried
Hoyt on the rolls as a regularly de-
tailed soldier, without stating the serv-
ice he was performing.
AS you know, General Lyle was
killed at the battle OF Chicka-
manga within a short distance OF
our regiment. A number of our
men saw him when he fell from
his horse. The hill upon which he
died had no name at that time, but
ever since Their it has been known as
Lytle hill.
1 am not a hero worshipper, but l
have always had great admiration for
a large number of men In, the various
walks of life, particularly men whom
l served under and knew in the war
days, but there are two men l have
sincerely loved ever since | knew
them. One of them was Gen. Lyle
and the other Gen. Phil Sheridan, both
of whom I knew personally and fire.

Tennis an Old Mans Game

The truth is that while young men,
being supple and quick of eye, play
tennis better as a rule than men past
80, 1t is a game in which experience
counts as much as youth. The masters
OF it are likely to be older men be-
cause they are steadier under fire and
obvious Of the gallery. They play
solely for points, however the points
can be made, and never yield to the
temptation to be spectacular. Mr.. Lar

his own on the courts for several
years if he keeps himself at the top
Of condition.

Pierre.-Geo. A. Burlington and e.
Jacobson, of the state land department,
who are selecting indemnity lands on
the Pine Ridge reservation, are eX-
~periencing great difficulty on account
of the snow and ice, being able to
travel not more han 10 miles a day in
an automobile. Says Mr.. Burlington,

PAYMENT FOR HILL
SIOUX INDIANS, FOLLOWING AC-
TON TAKEN LAST SPRING.,
SEEK PAYMENT FOR LAND.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and Diff
ferent Parts Of the
State.

Pierre.-At a meeting held at Cher
made by some of the leading Sioux
to perfect al organization, which had
for its purpose the securing from the
general government, payment for the
Black Hills territory which was open
ed to settlement in 1876. The Sioux
claim that the right to go into the
Black Hills was never admitted by the
Sioux, and that whites were allowed to
go into the territory under a treaty
which was signed by only a few of the
chiefs. While they have no idea what
ever that the territory will ever be re-
stored to them, they are after cash
payment. For the furtherance of this
effort a meeting was held at Lower
Brule reservation on the tenth Of this
month, at which all the bands OF Sioux
were asked to send representatives,
for the purpose Of pushing their
claims. The government contention
is that even if the whites were ad-
mitted into that country without the
consent of a majority of the Sioux,
that defect was cured in the treaty Of
1889, by which the territory between
the Missouri river and the Black Hills
was opened to settlement and in the
same treaty the opening of the Black
Hills section was ratified. But the
leaders among the reds believe they
have a case, and want to make a
test Of the claim in the courts.

Many Licenses Issued.

Pierre.-The state insurance depart

censes to agents of fire, marine, hail,
lightning, and accident insurance COM
panies at 50 per license. This does
not indicate hat there are 10000 in
Surance agents in the state, because
a separate license is required of each
agent for each company which he
represents. From 1000 to / 500 fra
ternal agents licenses are issued at so
cents apiece. Commissioner Basford
