a thlng as an agricultural college was
not known, and such men never had
the opportunity of an agricultural
education. Even today only a very
small percent of the young men of our
state can avail themselves of it's sdvan

South Dakota Legislature few years
ago determined that if the average
farmer could not go to school that it
would provide the means by which the
school could 30 to him. Thus the
Farmers Institutes we're organized.
From the meagre beginning of an
appropriation of 5000. per annum and
an attendance of something like ten
thousand farmers the first year, the
work has gradually grown to an 40.
preparation of 1900 per year and an
attendance last year of sixty thousand.
Nor has the interest one whit absted
Wherever Farmers Institutes have
been held farmers tell us that the
'sgrio ultural output has increased from
80 to 90. Better stock is being raised.
rational systems of crop rotation are
being practiced, the fertility and mois
ture of the soil are being conserved.
crops adapted to soil conditions are
being planted, better methods of tillage
are being done with the result that
materially increased yields are being
harvested. Nor does the matter stop
here. The farmers successes have

him to realize. in measure, his own
great economic Importance
A new innovation is being tried out
this year in the way of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Farmers Institutes,
A lady lecturer is provided, the women
meet in separate hall where matters
concerning household economics are
discussed. Sc far it is meeting with
great success. The interest and at
tendance are phenomenal.
One hundred seventy four Institutes
we're conducted last year. Two hun
dred and five Institutes are scheduled
for the present year, and many towns
not scheduled, are olamoring for an
Institute. The present appropriation
will barely suffice to cover those
already scheduled.

DENMANS TO BOISE
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Denman Departed Tuesday
Evening for Boise, Idaho.


Evening for Boise. Idaho.
MIR. and Mrs. j l.. Denman. who
have been residents of this city for
number of years departed Wednesday
evening for their new home at Boise.
Idaho. The following communication
handed us by Mr.. Denman expresses
their sentiment with regard to their
numerous friends here and as will he
noted 1t was with much reluctance that
they leave this city to take up their
new home in the west. We can say
ln'truth with the community that the
people of Hot Springs we're as 10th to
lose this worthy couple as they we're to
leave but all will join in wishing them
happiness and prosperity in their new
nome. Following is the letter referred
to above: Deoemher 10Th 1910
Publishers of the Hot Springs Star:
Gentlemen:-As it has been impossible
for us to say good bye personally to all
OF our friends in Hot Springs, we
would like to say thru the columns of
the Star that it gives our hearts no
little sadness to leave the many good
people of Hot Springs for naturally
during the past ten years we have
found some of the most loyal and de.
llghtfal friends we have ever known.
AND we can truthfully say that US
nelghbors living near us in lower town
on Sth street are second to none that
we have ever had. In all the time we
nave lived there we have never been
refused the loan of drawing of tea. a
mess OF Hour, sugar, saleratus. pickels
or canned goods from one end of the
street to the other. We have not even
found 1t necessary to grow kitchen
garden AS we could always procure all
the fresh fruit and garden truck Wa
needed, from these good neighbors,
same has been true as to fresh meat,
and game-as on eighth street and
near 1t live most of the successful
sportsmen of this part of the state and
we have never been allowed to want for
anything in the line of ducks. chick.
ems, fresh trout and cotton tail rabbits
etc., since moving onto this street.
Incidentally allow me to say that 1
nave few choice residence lots for
sale at reasonable price, on eighth
street.
10 those persons holding olaims
against me of any nature | will OK
plain that my postoffiee address will
be Boise. Idaho, and for the present all
such may be mailed there and when
we move again will furnish you with
new address. We may not move
again however as there is seventy.f1ye
retail grocery stores in Boise and all
extend liberal line Of credits
In saying good bye we will say that
1t makes us more sad perhaps to part
with the editors and publishers of the
Star and Times Herald than of any
other attachment we have formed here.
For in the case of these other dear
friends we have q hope of meeting
them again in brighter, better land.
where there will be no more parting
but its different with editors.
Most Sincerely,
j. l.. DENMAN and WIFE.

WATER AND LIGHT FRANCHISE
MATTERS DISCUSSED,
NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
MATTER WILL PROBABLY BE PUT To
VOTE OF THE PEOPLEOF THE CITY
in THE NEAR FUTURE

The city council met in regular ses-
sion at the city hah Monday evening
and after transaoting the regul a r
routine business listened to the reading
OF two franchises, one for the water
right and the other for light, submitted
by President Wattels of the w a r,
Light 4 Power Company. Both the
present franchises expire soon, one of
them today and the other in February
This same company is the one which
has had the franchises in this city for
the past twenty years. The new articles
offered by the company failed at this
time to meet with the approval of the
council and they met again informally
in the oouLcil rooms Wednesday even
ing to discuss the matter thoroughly.
No action has been take as yet and the
City attorney has been requested to
draw up another set Of franchises sett-
ing forth what the council will expect
of the Water, Light & Power Company
IN Case they decide to grant them a
franchise in either case. That phase of
the question whereby the city might
buy the property of this company has
not been gone into and probably will
not be on account of the financial con.
dltion of the corporate city of II O {
Springs. Before being settled def.
nately the entire matter will no douh,
be submitted to the voters.

the disposition made of the cases OF

raised is caused by the fact that Bill.
ups received year in the penitentiary
while Tiernan WAS given suspended
sentence Of ninety days in Jail. The
facts in the case ara as follows:

came here and fully investigated the
matter with the assistance of States
Attorney Hedrick. In order to get all
entering wedge toward clearing up the
matter and Furnishing the guilty parties
it became necessary to get som eone to
turn states evidence. The first wedge
was obtained in the person of George
Bell, who after grilling examination
confessed, under a promise of immuui-
ty However he could implicate TO one
but Tiernan, as he knew nothing
about the other defalcations. A
promise of immunity was then given to
ID. Billups and j. b. LaPage il they
would confess and turn states evidence
against Tiernan. 1t was impossible to
shake them, however, and they held
out. This left the matter in this con-
dition, Tiernan could be prosecuted
with Bells testimony, but the other
guilty parties would escape as Tiernan
was the only witness against them, and
he could not be made to testify After
full consideration, the Attorney Cen

pursue was to make some concession
to Tiernan to get him to turn states

ever, these officials were not willing to
make Tiernan the same offer that WAS
made to Billups and LsPage, that of
immunity from prosecution. After
considerable work and negotiation the
following proposition was agreed upon.
Tiernan should turn states evidence
and make foil confession; he was to
resign as auditor at once. Being the
only one financially responsible by
reason OF his surety bond he was
given to understand that he would
have to make good all the defalcations;
he was to plead guilty to violation of
the wolf bounty statute and take what.
ever sentence was given him by the
judge; he was to appear and give his
testimony against Billups and LaPage
at their trials. This is what Tiernan
hes done: he has turned states evi.
denoe and made full confession; be
resigned as auditor at once; he pur.
chased all the questionable wolf bounty
vouchers at cost to him of s276O 90
which is generally believed to be sum
considerably in access of the amount
of the defalcations; he appeared at this
term of court as witness against
Billups, but was not needed since
Billups plead guilty; he plead guilty
Of violation of the wolf bounty

posed by the judge; he has yet to ap
pear as witness against LaPage.
