The prospects are fair for her recov-

and could not be controlled by her
mother, who had her sent to the in

she secured employment at a local

and failed to heed the admonitions
of her mother, who finally sent for
the matron of the industrial school

give their farms a name, and this

So far as The Republican Is con

routes between here and Sioux Falls
will be made a part of the Black
Hills Trail. This would give trav-
elers the option of taking either
route, and the communities along
both roads would he benefited by the
model highway. Naturally a rival
ry would develop in the maintenance
OF such a road, and this again would
be mutually beneficial, for both roads
would. in time become celebrated for
their high state of Improvement.

Philip, S. D.-The county COM
missioners of Stanley county met at
the county seat last week, and pass
ed on over a thousand seed grain
petitions of farmers who desired to
take advantage of the see grain law
which was passed by the legislature
in 1911. The petitions were assorted
into three piles, those who wished to
pay cash and take advantage of the
free freight rates, those who had Sc
curity to give for grain and those
which We're rejected. Most of the
petitions, however, We're accepted and
a large amount of grain will be SOW
ed in Stanley county that otherwise
would not be but tor this opportu-
nifty offered to the homesteaders.
A much larger acreage will be put
in the ground this year than last.
and the tillers OF the soil have al
ready began operations in getting the
seed beds ready and an atmosphere
of optimism pervades throughout the
entire county. The failure of last
year has been forgotten and with the
coming of spring and the returning
of a large number of those who have
been spending the winter in the east
the utmost confidence is displayed
and a general activity in all lines OF
business is looked for in the mex
few weeks.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
WITHOUT COAL AT NEW
CASTLE.

Among the witnesses who have
told tho House rules committee about
conditions during the strike OF
workers In the Lawrence wooden
mills, was Miss Margaret Sanger, q
trained nurse. who was instrumental
In taking o number of children from
Lawrence to New York to be cared
Tor. She testified that out of 1l9
children sent to New York, only four
had any underwear on. Asked wheth-
er their outer clothing was of wool,
the nurse replied that 1t consisted
mostly OF rags. That the children
should be emaciated for want of
food is traceable to the strike, but
that they should not have under
wear is due to insufficient income for
the families to which they belong.
The strike did not begin until the
winter was we'll along, 80 II they
were to have underwear, 1t would
have been provided before the strike.

GENERAL ADVANCE IN
TEXTILE MILL WAGES
MORE THAN 100, 900 EMPLOYEES
IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
WILL DEMENT, FROM
CHANGE.

Boston, Mass.-A general advance
in the wages of textile operatives in
northern New England was announc-
ed today by various mill interests
which have their head offices in
Boston. More than $4,000 per
sons, including employees of cotton
mills in Massachusetts, New Hamp-
SHIRE and Maine and wooden mill OPP
eratives in six New England states
are affected. While few cotton mills
have made definite announcements,
it is understood here that the an
generally will not be less than
) per cent, and for certain classes of
operatives I per cent or more. The
New Hampshire and Maine cotton
mills, which employ 40 600 people,
will make the change in the payroll
today. other mills will do so March
Is and the Lowell mills, with nearly
10000 hands, will put the advance
into effect March %.
Scores of Mills in Line.
The Lawrence cotton mills, except
the Everett, employing $4,000; the
American Wooden company's thirty
three New England plants with 30
600 operatives, and a number OF in.
dependent worsted mills, raised wag-
es last Monday. To the advance in
Lawrence, in response to the de
mands OF the operatives, the increase
elsewhere are largely attributed. In
Massachusetts the mill hands under
went a cut in wages of more than :
per cent on January L because of +;

weekly. The Lawrence strike fol

MISGUIDED WOMEN.
Persecution has always helped

Persecution has always helped a
righteous cause. Perhaps 1t is be-
cause of this that the English suf-
fragettes are deliberately entering
into conflict with the authorities OF
London. Or perhaps there Is some
thing in the ~oft-repeated statement
that 1t is woman's way to attempt
to use abuse to gain her own ends
through sympathy.
But, whatever the reasons Why
the ballot-seekers of England have
decided upon the course they are
following, 1t does not appear that
they are helping their cause. Yes
terday's dispatches brought the
news that the women imprisoned for
wilfully destroying the property OF
store-keepers in no way involved In
the political controversy, started
riot after riot within the walls OF
the prison where they were incarcer-
ated, ana even tore the clothing from
the wardresses in charge of them.
This is no way to gain sympathy
Sheer crime will not hallow any
cause. The women are deliberately
violating law, hoping by destruction
of property to caerce the English
parliament into giving them the bal
lot. Now that may be the way te
manage John Bull. but history
doesn't show it. Instead OF gaining
their point, they are likely only to
give the Englishmen a chance te
show how they can enforce theil
laws.

It has been a long time since any

that Is SO gratifying as the good
roads meeting held in Mitchell yes
terday. 1t wasn't a crowd that
came; 1t was a throng. This is N
ceedingly significant. While it is
true that a considerable part of this
crowd came directly because of a
contest over the location of the pro-
posed cross-state road east of Mitch

they send q trainload or two and

that they are keen to the advantage
Of such a through road.

AMUNOSEN'S STORY
OF POLE DISCOVERY
ENCOUNTERED VERY LITTLE
TROUBLE IN CROSSING GREAT
PLATEAU TO HIS EESTIN.A-
TlON.

London, England.-Roald Amund-
sens narrative Of his discovery of
the south pole records without any
attempt at word painting the historic
achievement he claims.
Besides the attainment of the pole
the expedition resulted in the deter
mination of the extent and character
of the Ross barrier and the discovery
of the connection of South Victoria
Land and probably of King Edward
Land with a continuation in huge
mountains, which probably stretch
across the antartic continent. These
mountains We're named Queen Maud's
range.
Captain SCOTS discoveries We're
confirmed and a good geological col
lection was made.
Tells of Arrival at Pole.
Amundsen in describing the party's
arrival at the pole records the fact
without expressing feelings at that
moment like Peary, but it is evident
Amundsen shared the triumph with
others. The position of the pole
was observed as accurately as was
possible with the instruments he had,
a seXtant and artificial horizon.
A brilliant sun aided the observa-
tions, which were taken every hour
of the twenty-four.
Amundsen remarks:
The result will be a matter for
expert examination"
Shackleton's farthest point south
was passed on the afternoon of Dec.
s. Six days later the party reckoned
they reached their destination and
halted at 8 p. M, when a Norwegian
flag was hoisted.
Names Plateau After King.
The plateau was named King Ha-
axiom Wis Plateau. Amudsen de-
scribes it as a vast plain alike in all
directions, mile after mile.
Thirteen hours of continuous OBJ
servations on Dec. Is showed the par
ty were at 50 degrees 55 minutes,
so they travelled the remaining nine
kilometres as near true south as pos
sible.
The return trip vas begun Dec. II,
after a small tent had been erected
there with the Norwegian flag and
the Fram's pennant flying over it.
Owing to exceptionally favorable
weather the return journeys speed
averaged thirty-siX kilometers per
day, against the outward journeys
twenty-five. The distance between
the winter quarters and the pole was
1,40O kilometers.
On the whole Amundsen was fav-
ored by fine weather, and there were
no m~isadventures. There was n
delay of four days by bad weather.
The party left the Fran Oct. %
and arrived back Jan. 25. The party
consisted of five men with four sledg-
es and tifty-two dogs.
