Plenty of Seed.

Pierre.-Seed grain sufficient to put
in 1858 acres, has been handled this
spring by the VanDusen Elevator COM
pany, in it's elevators at Midland, Phil
ip, Cottonwood, Quinn, Wall, Wasta
and Owanka. OF this the acreage was
wheat 45,4OO; oats 21,300; barley
2.S4O; fax 2,450. This was only the
seed brought in by the elevator COM
panies, sand handled through their
warehouses. Besides this there were
private shipments which did not go
through their hands which will easily
bring the small grain acreage in that
section of Stanley and Pennington
county up to fully 100000 acres. Be-
sides this crop of small grain, the far
mers are preparing to put in a large
acreage of corn this year, which will
help swell the amount of land which
will be put in crop along the line of
the Northwestern road in the oun
try from Midland west. No doubt as
much more is being done along the
line of the Milwaukee road, with much
of the northern part of Stanley sup
piled from, the Fox ridge line of the
Milwaukee, which is ear to that
section than is the Northwestern line
across the county. The indications
are all for a large amount OF crop, and
the conditions such as to cause the
farmers to push ahead with the acre.

propped up in an easy chair to ALE
viate the pain of his own wounds,
heard a new prosecutor t~hunderously
denounce him as the arch-conspirator
in n Of the most atrocious crimes
in the history of the world.
J. C. Wysof, chief counsel for the
state, in his opening address charac-
terized the Allen gang as ruffians. out.
laws and cold-blooded assassins. He
laid great stress on the charge Of con-
spiracy.
The opening address Of Attorney r.
H, Willis for the defense was brief.
He declared his client had been the
victim Of gross exaggerations. He de-
MED that Allen killed Miss Nancy
Ayers; 1t was the bullets of either
Clerk Dexter Goad or one of his dep.
uties which killed her. he said. He
denied the existence OF a conspiracy
and declared Allen did not draw his
own gun until after he had been shot
and then he drew 1t from his hip
pocket, not from his vest pocket. be-
meath the sweater.
Judge d. w. Bolen OF Hillsville,
VINO had been Floyd Aliens counsel.
took the witness chair and detailed
the shooting at the courthouse. He
declared that Claude Allen fred the
shot.

there the day before the tragedy. AL

MEMORIAL TO Butt
FRIENDS OF DEAD OFFICER
PRAISE vALoR OF MAJOR
ARCHIBALD A. BUTT.
TAFT's TRIBUTE IMPRESSIVE
Presidents Voice Fails Him and
Tears Dim His Eyes az He Closes
Tender Eulogy TO His Late Aid
and Constant Companion.

Washington, D. C.-The life of Nal
Archibald w. Butt, as a soldier, news
paper man, aid to presidents and lodge
member, and his heroic death on the
Titanic, were commemorated by his
commander in chief, a president, a
secretary of war, q senator Of his ma
tive state, q contemporary In the
newspaper field and the fraternity OF
Masonry at an impressive memorial
service here.
The tribute President Taft paid to
his late aid epitomized all that was
said.
Everybody knew Archie as Archie.
Il cannot 60 In a box at a theater;
cannot turn around In my room; l
cant 90 anywhere without expecting
to pee his smiling face or to hear his
cheerful voice in greeting. The life
Of the president ID rather isolated and
those appointed to live with him come
much closer to him than anyone else.
The bond Is very close and 1t is diff
cult TO speak on such an occasion.
Archie Butts character was sim
gle, simple. straightforward and inca
pabIe OF intrigue. A clear sense Of
humanity lightened his life and those
about him. Life vas not for him a
troubled problem. He was a soldier,
md when he was appointed to serve
under another to that other he rem
dsred implicit loyalty. 1 never knew
. man who had SO much self abnega-
ton. 20 much self sacrifice, as Archie
Butt.
Occasions like the sinking Of the II
tanic> frequently develop unforeseen
traits IN men. It makes them heroes
when you don't expect 1t. But with
Archie II was just as natural for him to
help those about him as 1t was for
him to ask me to permit him to do
something for someone.
He was on the deck Of the Titanic
exactly what he was everywhere. He
leaves q void with those who loved
him, but the circumstances OF his go
Ing are all what we would have had,
and while the tears MI the eyes and
the voice 10 choked. we are felicitated
BY the memory Of what he was"

UNIFORM BOOK LAW
ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHNSON
SHEDS LIGHT ON OBSCURE
PHASES OF MEASURE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts OF
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-At the request Of the de-
partment of public instruction, Attor-
ney General Johnson has made a very
exhaustive Interpretation Of the uni
form text book law. He finds that the
instrument was very loosely drawn,
hence there are very many irregular1-
ties and apparently conflicting parts.
The special difficulty comes in deter
mining who shall constitute the coun-
ty board, which selects the books for
f~ve-year periods. Such boards meet
this year.
The law provides that it shall con-
sist of the county superintendent OF
schools, the president of the boards of
education Of independent school dis
tricts, the county auditor, the states
attorney, the board of county commits
sioners and one representative from
each commissioners district. The an
swers to the several queries are: A
member of a school board of an indie
pendent district cannot be a member
of the county board. The boundaries
of the city Of Watertown are cock
tensiye with a commissioners dis
trict, hence the Independent school dis
trict of Watertown is represented by
the county commissioner and h pres
ident of the city board of education.
Section 226 Of the school law pro-
vides that independent districts may
select otner books than those provided
for the county. The opinion holds
that this does not exempt it from the
use of the county books. A county
commissioner of an Independent dis
trict is entitled to two votes. The
members from the country districts
may be elected either by ballot or by
vivf voce; but there is ne provision
that the election be held in the dis
trict, and if proper notification is given
to the local board members, it may,
though not advisable, be held at some
other place, as the county seat. The
member must be a resident of the dis
trict from which elected. A munich
patty which owns and rents its own
system of text books is held exempt
from the action of the uniform text
book law.
The legislature seemed to be hazy
in it's definition of the local districts.
and it is held that both where the
country schools are districted accord
ing to commissioners districts and
where districted according to other
plans that either kind is entitled to a
representative on the county board.
