Bank Robbed at Tea

The Farmers Savings bank at Tea,
was entered Friday by cracksmen, who
blew the vault and escaped with gold
and silver coin to the estimated amount
of 900. In blowing open the vault
some heavy irons were thrown upon
the currency chest effectually blocking
it and preventing the robbers from
securing an additional $4,000 which it
contained.
The robbers are believed to be four
in number. Two strange men, thought
to be members of the gang, were seen
early Saturday, going toward Sioux
Falls on hand car, but they have not
yet been located. Sheriff Kelley and
his deputies, together with the local
police force and officers of the sur
rounding region, are securing the coun-
try.
The fact that high wind was blow
ing at the time of the robbery favored
the robbers, as it served to deaden the
sound when the vault was dynamited.
The loss in money and the damage to
the building and fixtures is covered by
insurance.

Springing back, Banick closed the door,

Although a strong effort was made
in the nineteenth biennial grand lodge
sessions of the Ancient Order of Uni
ted Workmen at Deadwood last week
to raise the rate for members employed
in and around the mines, the question
was finally disposed of by deferring
action until the next convention at
Aberdeen in 1913.
The statement as made by the COM
mittee on rates, using figures sucured
from mortalities in this portion of the
Black Hills, that over one third of the
deaths here were due to employment in
the mining industry and resolution to
increase the rate on such members 70
per cent per month, was offered and
vigorously opposed by the Block Hills
delegates and some from east of the
river.
The election of officers brought out
several competitions and resulted as
follows: Grand master workman, Olaf
Nelson, Yankton; grand foreman, 5.

seer, Dan Newell, Sturgis; grand
recorder, Henry Neil, Aberdeen;

Deadwood. Aberdeen was selected as
the next meeting place over Yankton,
Sioux Falls being eliminated when del
egate Peter Gunderson declared that
he had not been instructed to vote for
his town.
The Degree of Honor lodges which
met in conjunction with the Workmen,
chose as their grand officers the follow
ing: Chief of honor, Emma Thayer,
Bookings; lady Of honor, Eta b.
Dore, Milbank; chief of ceremonies,
Celia S. Cox, Sioux Falls; recorder,
Kate S. Holmes, Verdon; receiver

as prizes in the membership contests

state.

SERVICE.
D. AssocIated Rress.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-When a
copy of Gen. Baden-PowelPs book on
| the boy scouts fell into Emperor Mich
GLASS hands it gained Jealous con-
vert. As training school Of the civic
and military virtues, love of country
and healthy sport, the boy scouts
seemed invaluable. The emperor's idea
was to introduce military training in
all the elementary schools Of Russia
proper. with their 100000 scholars.
But the bureaucratic machine was
forestaIed In this case by private in
itiative. An inspector of public schools
IN Bakhmut, Yekaterinoslav province,
organized body of play soldiers and
ventured to bring them to the capital,
Drawing the .disapproval OF his supe-
riors
The Bakhmut battalion was a novel
sight in the streets of st. Petersburg,
and some of the liberal papers scoffed
at the idea of instilling patriotism in
the minds of the young in this wise.
1t was reviewed by the emperor and
the young Crown Prince Alexis at
Tsarskoe Selo, and went home in high
spirits, assembling the new idea on
it's long journey.
When Gen. Baden-Powell visited
Russia last year he was received in
audience by his imperial convert. At
that time the first drill companies had
made an appearance in st. Petersburg
and MOSCOW, under the guidance or
some Of the crack regiments. The
failure of Minister of Education
Schwartz to gauge the depth and
breadth of the new movement is said
to have cost him his portfolio. The
most authoritative sanction was given
to 1t in a review recently held in st.
Petersburg. Eighty-four companies
gathered from all parts of the empire,
including the Caucasus and Turkestan,
and comprising 5000 boys, were re-
viewed by the emperor, and gave an
interesting exhibition of the various
kinds of drill which are in vogue.
They were made up of four principal
classes Of organizations: those attached
to particular regiments, those arising
at schools controlled by the ministry
of public instruction, those coming
