Deuel. County Man Blows Brains Out
with Gun Shot.
Sioux Falls.-After writing q letter
to his father at Oldham, 8. D., stating
that he was tired of life, Peter Mel
son, aged about 80 and unmarried, who
resided on farm in Deuel. county near
tho Minnesota line, ended his life by
shooting himself with shotgun. Mel
son had a boy living with him. He
sent the boy to the we'll for pail of
water and while he was absent COM
mitted the act of self destruction. The
method adopted displayed some inge-
nuity on the part Of Nelson. He
placed the shotgun across table, fast
ened q string to the trigger and passed
It under the table, then knelt down in
front of the muzzle Of the gun and
pulled the trigger with the string. The
charge struck him in the head just
above the eyes, splitting his skull open
and dashing his brains about the room.
He had been acting somewhat strange
" for the few days before his death.

Question 40 to What 70 D. with The
Surplus.
Mitchell.-What to do with the re-
naming $500 of the fund contributed
by the school children of the state for
the erection of the Beadle memorial
in the state house at Pierre, has been
perplexing question. Several sug-
gestions have been made, but none
has met with the approval Of the state
educational association. w. s. Hill,
Of this city, president Of the state
board Of agriculture, has offered = sug-
gestion and plan whereby the money
can be used to good advantage and
to the perpetuation of education in
the state. Mr.. Hill suggests that tho
money be utilized for the erection Of
an educational building ON the state
fair grounds at Huron. The matter
will be presented to the annual con-
vention Of the state educational asso-
citation, which meets at Pierre the
coming week. Mr.. Hill first submitted
his proposition to Gov. Vessey, and he
gave the proposal his unqualified in
dorsement, and likewise Doane Robin
son, the state historian, expressed q
favorable sentiment toward the plan.
II do not believe there is any
Doubt" said Mr.. Hill, that the legis.
lature would gladly add to this sum
Of $1,000 enough more to construct an
educational building on the fair
grounds. II an equal amount is appro-
priated it would be possible to put up
q very good structure. It should be
made of brick and built substantially.
The educational exhibit has outgrown
the room we have prepared for it, and
it seems to me that 1t would give =
decided impetus to the cause Of educa-
ton in the state to have a building
devoted to it at the state fair. It would
be used not only for the display Of
work done by the pupils Of the state,
but also as meeting place for all
teachers and educators when they
attend the state fair.

Deadwood. = Announcement was
made here by Harry J. Mcneil of Lin
coin, Neb., representing a company
which promotes the establishment and
operation Of private military schools,
that, after six weeks of search for a
location for such an institution in the
Black Hills section, it had been deter
mined to locate school at White
wood, Lawrence county, nine miles
southeast Of Deadwood, that the citi-
zens of Whitewood have given a
tract of 20 acres Of land, now heavily
timbered with oak and considerable
sum of money as bonus for the
school, and that after careful inspec-
ton of sites offered at Rapid City and
at Spearfish, the Whitewood location,
because of its proximity to Deadwood
and Lead, had been chosen. Work on
the buildings for the institution will
begin early in the spring and that the
school, which is to be called the Black
Hills Military academy. will open for
students in September of next year.
