A most brilliant and successful
entertainment from an artistic
standpoint was given in our city
on Monday night last by the
Franklin High School pupils.
The program was a very extern
sive affair and the way the pupils
acquitted themselves demon
strated rare ambition and his
trionic ability on the part of the
teachers. The costumes of the
children were varied and beau
tiful as well as adapted to the
various plays and the audience
was very large and select. The
piano was in charge of Miss
Kathleen O'Niell. The entire
entertainment was a grand sue.
cess and each and every one of
the juvenils participants was gen.
erously applauded, but what
captured the fancy of the audi.
ence was the Minuet Dance exc

The Legislature and GoVeror SANDERS
Farewell Message.

The first biennial session of the
State Legislature since the eiec-
ton convened at Baton Rouge last
Monday. Organization was Ell
fected by giving regulars snd re-
formers an equal share of the posi-
tions. Governor Sanders SUD-
mitted his last message, as in a
few days the newGovernor -eiect:
Judge L. E. Hall. will be inducted
into office. The affair, at the new
Governors request, is not to be
characterized with much pomp
and eclat, owing to the Hood dis
asters now occurring within our
State.
We find Governor Sanders
message an able and temperate
docume Mt largely directed towards
defending his conduct as Chlef
Executive for the past four years.
He admonishes the new Leg.
islature against any repeal ofrace
track or liquor laws as they now
exist and expresses the hope that
the conservation laws-which are
80 far in the experimental stage
will he corrected of whatever de-
fects have been found to exist IN
them and that they will be main
taiped and enlarged. These
conservation laws are the direct
handiwork of Governor Sanders,
constitute a chief feature OF his
administration, and, under the
circumstances, no one will deny
but that they are of the greatest
Importance. We have not the
space to review the message III
toto, but it is so brimful OF valu-
able points and information to the
people that there is or ought to be
q disposition on the part OF the
new lawmakers to hearken to 1t
without prejudice or political
spite. Despite all the sordid
political criticism and an anathem-
as hurled against Governor San
ders and his administration by so
called reformers who were mainly
bent on capturing the succulent
plums, we are convinced that he
has done well and the truth OF this
statement will be clearly dem
onstrated by the future.

Senator Aladdin Vincent, of
Calcaeieu, has already filed bills
tepealing the Game Commission,
the Fire Rating Board aud the
Marks bill. These laws have been
the veritable bugbears of the
ganctimonious reformers.

Youthful Authors.

Although it was not published until
year or two later, it is probable that
Keats wrote his famous lode to Au-
tumn" in his sixteenth year, and, in
deed, all his five great odes, among the
greatest in any language, before he at
tanned legal manhood. He died at
twenty-five, so that all the great mas
terpieces which came from his pen
may be regarded as the production Of
a boy. Robert Burns wrote that scath-
ing satire. Holy Willie's Prayer"
when he had barely passed his youth.
and indeed, the whole Of the poems in
the famous Kilmarnock edition, a copy
Of which sold some little time since
for $3.50, were written before he was
twenty-five. But even the precocity Of
Burns was put in the shade by that Of
Chatterton. who committed suicide in
fit of despair in a London garnet
when he was seventeen. He wrote the
whole huge volume Of the Rowley
poems when he was a schoolboy at
Bristol.

sixteen miles long In Lancashire the
coal mines are very extensive, half the
country being undermined, and many
years ago the Duke Of Bridgewater's
managers thought they could save
money by transporting the coal under
ground instead Of on the surface. The
canal was constructed and the mines
connected and drained at the same
time. Ordinary canal boats are used.
but the power Is furnished by men.
On the roof Of the tunnel arch are cross

the coal and pushing with their feet
against the crossbars on the roof.-Ar-

Gold Discovered at kadoku

Gold has been found in and near the
town of Kadoka. 1t was first dis.
covered by George Bertsch about six
months ago, but the discovery was not
made public. A sample of the ore was
sent to an assayer and when the GER
tificate returned it showed value of $50
a ton. This specimen was taken from
a small dam a few rods from the city.
The next sample to be sent for inspec-
ton was taken from a cellar, and this
proved to be worth at least $500 to the
ton. .
The people there are greatly excited
Mr.. Bertsch has found that his dam is
built on strip of ground which is rich
with the yellow treasure, and he is
now draining the dam. Cars are being
loaded for shipment in the old-fashioned
spade and shovel way to be sent to the
stamp mills in the Black Hills.
Machinery has been ordered by Mr..
Bertsch and j. T. Doey to carry on
the work in more scientific manner.

Horse Disease Again Prevalent

Reports that the deadly horse disease
which killed thousands of horses in
Kansas and Nebraska, and which
appeared in Bon Homme and Hutchin.
son counties in southern South Dakota, a
few weeks ago, had disappeared prove
to be without foundation. Eight new
cases Of cerebrospinal meningitis have
been reported from Bon Homme
county and several from Hutchinson
county.
In each case the farmers, contrary
to advice, had again turned their
horses out on pasture. 1t was thought
the spread of the disease had been
stopped, but the development of these
cases proves that continued vigilance
is necessary. In the last cases the dis
ease does not appear to be as severe as
the original cases a few weeks ago,

wagon drawn by a traction engine.
Harvey Taylor was going to Onida

machine and had been run over by the
wagon, which passed over her left
shoulder and across her body.
