Mr.. Moore, who IS here this week
from Pierre with a lot of young stock,
informs us that he has a contract to
furnish Barrett & Zimmerman. the big

die broke horses. The st. Paul firm
has a contract with the French and
English governments for 5000 caval-
ry mounts for use in the war. The
price, says Mr.. Moore. is about twice
as much as the horses would ordinar-
lily bring.
AT the State College the sophomore
class by unanimous vote abolished the
practice of hazing, and the freshmen
are in future to be ruled by love in
stead of force. While there has V
been anything serious in the line of
hazing, the freshmen were required to
observe certain rules laid down by
their superiors, and disobedience
meant rough handling. This is all
done away with, and every effort will
be made to create a spirit of harmony
instead of discord, to the material
good of the school.-De Smet News.

ment for this here and will come down
two or three times a week. He has
improved considerably from the one

taken.
