BOYCOTT l%NAUCURATED
ON HECLA PUBLISHER
IN MAIL ORDER FIGHT
Owner of Paper In Defiant Mood
and Incident May Result In
Court Action.

Hecla, s.. D., May 19.-Certain of the
business men and otner residents are
reliably stated to have formed plans
for instituting a boycott on the Hecla
Standard, a local weekly newspaper,
basing their action on the ground that
the paper has not beer active enough
in waging q fight against the big mail
order houses, which are said to be do
ing a big business in the Hecla trade
territory. The business men complain
that the paper has not taken sides
with them in this particular n that
1t has not denounced the farmers of
the surrounding region for ~patronizing
the mail order houses.
In defining his position after being
Informed of the boycott plans of the
business men and others the editor of
the paper says: While the Standard
does not fight against the .eatalog
houses, it does not fight either for or
against the local merchant. The farm
ers are our nelghbors, as are the bust
ness men of Hecla. We can see no
reason why we should be forced to
take sides for either"
The boycott promises to be the most
Interesting of it's kline for some years
in South Dakota and it is expected
that 1t will reach the courts before
either side admits defeat.

TiiE CITIZEN REPUBLICAN
P. a. BLISS, Editor and Proprietor.
SCOTLAND. SOUTH DAKOTA

The president of the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce, entertained an
audience the other night by striking a
trial balance, as he called it, between
the. negative" and positive traits Of
character of the college graduate In
business. The negative traits were:
Impatience to succeed. lacking in per-
s%istence, tendency to snobbishness,
lacking in industry, lack of technical
training, lacking in appreciation of
time n easily discouraged. The posi-
tive traits were: Has more concen-
t%ration, knows where to look for in
formation. reasons from one step to
another, is more conscientious, has
keener appreciation OF the duties Of
life, BILE to solve more difficult prob
lens, has higher moral standards and
has larger view of life. The interest
ing thing about these two lists is that
the so-called negative" characteris-
tics are mostly those which are inate,
and which the ~uneducated share in
ommon with the educated, While the
so-called positive rats are largely
those which result from education.
There Is q good deal more on the PCT
tive side or the ledger than on tho
negative.

METHOD SUGGESTED TO
BOOST SCHOOL FUNDS

Pierre, S. D., May ia radical
change in the laws pertaining to de-
linquent taxes, and providing that when
real estate taxes become delinquent
they be paid from the school fund, and
tina the school fund thereafter become
the beneficiary precisely as the present.
purchaser of a tax title, is a suggestion
made to state officials by John Moe of
sYankton. In discussion of the subject
with state officers Moe has met their
decided approval.
In Noes estimation this scheme
would in 10 years make every school
in the state Independent and self-sup-
porting. INSTANCES of various promi-
lent men who have made their for
tunes in South Dakota in the last few
years buying up tax titles warrant the
belief that a considerable fund could
be realized from uch a method. Abb
solute title could be granted as is now
done to individuals in such cases and
the state school fund would grow with
leaps and bounds.

White Owl Homesteader Shoots
Relative Three Times, Then
Suicides.

White Owl, s.. D., May 17.-Supposed
to be temporarily insane from financial
troubles, Sigel Thompson, residing on
Sulphur creek, about Is miles north
| east of here, shot his brotherinlaw, Vic.
tor Bishop, and then turned the weapon
on himself. Thompson died in a few
minutes, but Bishop is recovering from
his wounds.
Bishop was working in a field, IN
company with two children n a step
son, when Thompson rode up and made
the attack without warning. He fired
six shots, three of them taking effect,
one in the right shoulder, n in the
right arm and the third shot entering
the left hip.
Thompson then started to reload his.
gun, with the intention of continuing
the fusillade, but while he was doing
this Bishop made his escape over the
creek bank. After getting his gun re-
loaded Thompson made an extended
search for his intended victim, but the
latter was hiding in the bushes and
escaped observation.
After giving up the effort to- find
Bishop, Thompson rode back to his own
home, tied his horse in one stall of the
barn, entered the other stall n fired
two shots into his own body. The
first shot struck a rib n glanced, u
the second bullet penetrated his heart.
Thompson caves a wife and five
children. The remains will be taken
to his former home at WhiteWood, S..
D., for burial.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BULB

Mitchell, S. d. May I.-Taking
hold of an electric light bulb
with her wet hand caused Miss
Margaret Schabot to receive an

instant death. Miss Schabot, who
was a cook in the oliver hotel

to the kitchen to prepare supper
for some travelling men who
came in late, and one OF the men
hearing a fall hurried into the

FREIGHT RATES RAISED.

The recent raise of freight rates
on certain commodities from coast
points to Parker is causing consider
able criticism and protesting by To-
cal merchants. Potatoes have been
put in the third class, the new rate
being $1.05 per hundred, against 83c,
while vegetables now carry a rate of
$133 per hundred against 83c, the old
rate. The new rates are being
lodged. by shipping to Vidal and re-
shipping to Parker, making saving
on potatoes of II cents per hundred
and of AZ cents on all kinds of veg
etables. AT least this is the way j.
F. Raney is getting around the new
rates, and others here are expected
to follow the same course.
The matter has been brought to
the attention of the Arizona Corpor-
alton Commission, and several letters
have been received by local mechants
from the commission stating that
the new rates are illegal and advis-
ing consignees not to pay them.

IL inches is sufficient depth to
plant, but one should always bear in
mind that the seed must be planted
deep enough to. guarantee sufficient
moisture to germinate it and bring
the young plants above the ground.
1t is inadvisable to flood the land af-
ter planting in order to germlnate
the seed, since the young plants are
unable to push through the crust
formed by flooding. However, land
which it was found necessary to bed
may be irrigated in the burrows to
germinate the seed.
To guarantee perfect stand, which
is one of the utmost Importance, from
25 to sc pounds of seed to the acre
should be planted. This amount will
give a thick drill of seed. This drill
of seed terminating together will
greatly aid in breaking any crust
and thus do much to insure good
stand Heavy soil should, as rule,
have mere seed per acre than light
sandy soil.

J. B. Ross, who was removed from
here to Mercy hospital at Prescott,
about three months ago, passed over
the great divide at an early hour
last Sunday morning. While many
of his old friends here realized for
the past few weeks that the end was
near at hand, nevertheless when the
news came announcing his demise tn
community was shocked to learn that
nevermore would they see his famil-
lar figure, or hear his cheerful greet
ing, or feel his hearty hand-clasp.
j.. B. Ross, who was Sc years of
age, came to Parker about five years
ago from Independence, Mo-, and
since that time had made his home
here although his family continued
to reside in independence, where
his younger children were being edu-
Gated. Up until last September, his
daughter, Miss Louise Ross, lived
here for the past couple of years,
and looked after her father, who
for number of years was gradually
becoming blind.
Mr.. Ross was one of Parker's most
progressive citizens, and owned con-
siderable real estate in the town. He
was vicepresident of the Parker Bank
& Trust company, for several years,
and a few months before. he was tax
en- to the Prescott hospital he serv-
ed as president of the institution.
He also served as justice of the
peace of this precinct for several
months before he passed away re-
signing a few weeks ago on account
of his i'll health
For many years previous to com
ing to Parker Mr. Ross served as
deputy sheriff of his county, and few
men had larger acquaintance in Kan
sas City than the deceased In ear
ly days he was engaged in the min
ing business in Colorado and Mexico,

Mr.. Ross leaves a wife, five
daughters and one son to mourn his
loss. For several years his son
has been at the head of the depart
ment of journalism of the Univer-
sity Of Missouri, and is the author
of several works on journalism. Miss
Louise Ross, one of his daughters, is
wellknown in Parker, as is also Mrs
Ross, who made her home here at
various times. The sympathy of the
town goes out to his stricken family
in their hour of bereavement He
