From OrtIey Outlook

c. Z. Anderson was called to Web
ster and Milbank on important business
the forepart of the week
DIR. Herman, of Webster, was an
Outlook caller Tuesday morning and
complimented Us on the goodness and
spruceness of our paper as well as the
cleanliness and up-to-dateness of our
printery.
Archie Allen, j. II. Moore, Chester
French and dad" Anderson autoed to
Webster Monday. Upon their return
informed us that they went some''
and that the Milwaukee's flyer wasn't
in it-not at all. Shure! We believe it.
j. H. Moore, formerly of Ortley,
now of Webster, alias FLORIDA Land
Man., adjunct, ''The Reserve Loan
Life Insurance Company of Indian
annapolis, hobbled into our ''ladies'
'shiver-ee' town Monday, crutchless
at that. Good people, what do you
know about that. John can certainly
loop the loop as well as hoop and hoop.
No flies on brother John, and don'tcher
forget it. Call again, old scout.

arises why were they sent out at
this late date?" Are our mails being
packed for the benefit of the railroads?
We have heard of such before but
never had it so closely impressed upon
our minds as at the present writing.
If the same thing is being practiced
all through the state think of the
enormous increase in the weight of our
mail for this month and also how much
additional we will be paying for the
carrying of our mail during the follow
ing months. We do not know what
connection our junior senator from
this state has with the sending out of
these printed documents upon which
his name appears but it seems to US
that an investigation ought to be
started and the facts ascertained. 1t
is certainly true that, if contracts are
to be awarded on the basis of this
months mail and there is a like
increase all over the state, our citizens
are being taken undue advantage of
and in other words, robbed for the
benefit of few millionaires. - Waubay

The above sentence was imposed by
Judge Reid on John Deitz, the outlaw
of Cameron dam, for the murder of
Deputy Oscar Harp during the siege
on the Deitz cabin last October.
The jury. which was out sixteen
hours, returned verdict finding John
Deitz guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and finding Mrs. Deitz and Leslie
Deitz not guilty.
Deitz arose calmly and asked for a
new trial on the grounds that much
Of material evidence had been ruled
out and also on the ground of errors
of law.
After Deitz' motion for a new trial
had been made and denied Judge Reid
asked him II he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pro.

TRADE against the lumber trust,
raising his voice in uncomfortable
madness.

Rhyme Of South Dakota Governors

(By Will Chamberlain in the Historian
First of all comes William Jayne,
Sent to the west by Lincoln plain
Newton Edmunds followed him
When the days of the outbreak war
were grim.
Andrew Faulk, kindly man,
Was number three of this trio van,
John Burbank, somewhat austere,
AS fourth in the list doth now appear,
Then Pennington, John. jolly soul,
Came from the south to fill the goal,
While William Howard next was chose,
To guide where wave the Dakota rose,
With N. G, Ordway in persuit,
A chief of striving and dispute,
And Gilbert Pierce, scholar true,
Next presided meath skies of blue,
Louis Church by Cleveland's hand
Came to the helm of our ship, so grand.
Then Arthur Mellette, his was the fate
AS the territory's last, first of the
state.
Charley Sheldon, clever wight,
Did, following, up bear our light.
And Andrew Lee, sturdy son
Of Norway, the position won,
Charles Herreid, next to Lee,
Held the helm of captaincy,
Then Sammy Elrod grasped the thread
Which unto further greatness led,
And then Coe Crawford, whose renown
Is from the nations senate blown,
With Robert Vessey first at Pierre
Until another hand shall steer.

OF thirty graduates this year from
the Aberdeen high school, but FIVE are
boys-or one boy graduate for every
five girl graduates. OF Ill graduates
from all departments of the Northern
Normal and Industrial school this year,
but twenty-five are boys, or one boy
for every four girls.
What is the matter? Is the trouble
with the boys, or the schools?
Possibly both the schools and the boys
are to blame. The American boy is a
hustler, so far as money-making is con-
cerned, and all too frequently he lacks
the patience to stick to school until his
education is in some measure completed
because of the many alluring opportun-
tiles opened to him to secure a job with
good money making possibilities
attached, before he gets through school.
Possibly another reason why the boys
quit school before completing the course
is that despite the great progress that
has been made in educational methods
within the past few years, the schools
do not yet produce quite the right sort
Of education to &c the needs of the
average American boy who must hustle
for livelihood. The business man,
who has had to contend with the limi-
tations of the average high school gra-
duate, or even of the average college
student, realizes quite fully that there
are many things lacking in the young
mans education that he should acquired
in school instead of in business
establishment. All too frequently the
youth has to be taught how to properly
construct sentence on paper, for his
knowledge Of punctuation is quite apt to
be minus quantity, and almost invari-
ably he is exceedingly shy" on
spelling.
Whatever the cause, the average
school commencement very closely
resembles beauty show, with four or
five pretty American girls on the plat
form to every boy appearing thereon.
and about the only conspicuous part
taken in the exercises by males are
those filled by the preacher who deliv-
ers the baccalaureate sermon, the ora.
tor who delivers the class address. and
the member Of the school board who
delivered the diplomas to the bevy Of
girls and the lonesome looking boy OF
two. Aberdeen News.
