SUGGESTS NAME
FOR PLAYHOUSE
MANY PEOPLE OF MITCHELL IN
FAVOR OF USING NAME OF
PRESENT OWNER.

The Anderson Theater" has
sounded good to many of the people
of Mitchell who have talked over the
announced plan of j. F. Anderson to
rebuild the Gale theatre structure up
on modern and greatly improved
lines. The announcement that the
burned theater would be rebuilt was
made last Friday by The Republican.
1t has been pointed out that the
new theatre, which will be modelled
upon the chief architectural features
of the Orpheum at Sioux Falls, will
be new in every particular except the
front and the side walls. The audi
forum of the structure will be upon
new lines and the interior will be
different. Hence, the identity of the
former Gale theater will be removed
when the building is placed in shape
again.
The new theatre will be modern in
every respect, more nearly fire
proof and with an adequate ventilat.
ing system. as pointed out in The Re-
publican last week. 1t is because the
old theatre was destroyed in every
essential feature in the fire of March
20 last, and that Mr.. Anderson will
give the city of Mitchell a better play
house than 1t has ever possessed be.
fore, that general sentiment would
favor a name for the theater signi-
icant Of Its builder.

LONG DISTANCE
TELEPHONE CASE
DAKOTA CENTRAL VS.. CITY OF
MITCHELL SUIT BEING HEARD
IN FEDERAL COURT
TODAY.

Judge Booth. sitting in the United
States district court at Minneapolis,
today heard argument in the suit
brought by the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company to enjoin the city of
Mitchell from removing its lines and
property from the streets. This ac-
ton is one started to win an %injunc-
tion on the ground that the Dakota
Central has a long distance and not a
local telephone exchange here.
The issue in the suit in the fed
eral court is whether the Dakota
Central can operate It's exchange in
Mitchell as a long distance system,
on the contention that the company
holds an ordinance permittig it to
transact business as a toll exchange.
1t also is contended that the remov-
al of the system from the city's
streets and alleys would be interfer-
ence with interstate business.
The same point was raised in the
action over the gross earnings, which
was carried to the state supreme
court and won by the ~. In TITS
suit, the court held T. - com
pany had operated under the fran
chise granted to f. B. Elce. which
had expired on May II, 1913, and
that the ordinance permitting it to
operate as a long distance exchange
did not apply.
Lauritz Miller, city attorney, and
E. Il. Wagner, of Sioux Falls, rep
resented the city in the action in the
federal court.

NOTRE DAME HAS
GOODLY NUMBER
MANY OUTSIDE STUDENTS PRES
ENT FOR COMING SCHOOL
YEAR-CHANGES IN THE
FACULTY

With the largest number of stud
ents that it has ever enrolled, Notre
Dame academy swung open its doors1
for another school year last week.
In addition to the Catholic pupils
from Mitchell, great numbers were
enrolled from various parts of the
state. The total registration the
first day was over 200, and it is stat
ed by members of the faculty hat
the attendance will exceed 25O pupils
by October 1. aFsws
Rev. c. e. O'Flaherty, president of
the academy, expressed himself as
being particularly gratified with the
attendance from over the state. Ged-
des and LennoX sent the largest
delegations. Smaller groups came
from Reliance. Garretson, Artesian,
Mt. Vernon, Yankton, Utica, Irene,
Dolton, Ethan, Lake Andes, Cham
berlain, Chesla, Alexandria and
Armour. The wide area represented
by these different towns are typical
of the growing reputation of this
young boarding school.
The curriculum of Notre Dame
academy consists of the preparatory
or common school, the department
of music, the academic course cor
responding to a strong high school,
and a special two-year normal
course. 1t is stated that a commercial
course will be added next year.
Last year Notre Dame graduated
IL from the common school, two
young women from the academy and
three young women from the normal
department. The last three have Sc
cured teachers certificates and are
l - n ~. "a n n1,t,r ny IL, Tho fO11~ ~ Dr Z.
Miss Eleanor Fitzgerald, in McCook
county. Miss Helen Burns in Lyman
county, and Miss Lillian Joachim,
in Hanson county.
The features that have made Notre
Dame especially attractive to stu
dents from over the state are it's new
its scientifically designed class-rooms
modern dormitories, a home-like and
social atmosphere among the board
ers, together with the very low rates
charged to pupils for board and tut
ton. The central location and rail-
road facilities of Mitchell also a big
factor.
The academy has leased from
James Tobin some land adjoining
Tobin's park, and a cottage built
there on the banks of the James
river. Here the convent girls will
spend Saturdays and part of Sun
days enjoying themselves in the
groves ans boating on the river.
The teaching staff at the academy
has been augmented this year. Be-
sides two teachers of Bible history
and Christian doctrine, the faculty
is composed of eight Sisters of the
Presentation order, some of whom
have just returned to the institution
after completing special courses at
the Catholic university at Washing
ton. D. c..
In addition to these, the academy
has secured the services of Miss Eth
ell Dowdell, a daughter of r. E.
Dowdell, of Artesian, for the coming
year. Miss Dowdell secured her de-
gree at st. Mary's, Notre Dame uni
versity, in Indiana, and has held re-
%sponsible positions for the past three
years in different South Dakota high
schools. In addition to some classes
in the academy, Miss Dowdell will
have charge of athletics and social
entertainments.

BEER TO PAY
HEAVIEST TAX
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
WILL RAISE MOST OF $780,
900, 900 FROM STAMP
TAXES ON LIQUORS.

Washington, D. Ca decision
that the tax on beer shall be %increas-
ed from 81 to $3.50 or $1.6O a bar
rel, and that a tax shall be levied on
wines and soft drinks, and possibly
an advance in the rate on whiskey
were the principal developments of
the conference of the Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee Saturday on the proposed bill
to raise 500, 600, 900 for the needs
of the government. The conference
lasted throughout the day. Vigorous
protests were made against the pro-
posal that a tax of 5 per cent should
be assessed on railway tickets, and
a small tax on gasoline and it is ap-
parent that if these items are placed
in the bill they will provoke a bitter
fight.
Agree Only on $50, 1000, 900.
Estimates made in the conference
Saturday placed the yield on the pro-
posed taxes on beer, wines, soft
drinks and a few other articles not
specified at $4,000, 900. AS the COM
mittee is required to prepare a bill
that will bring in 500, 100000 there
yet remains a number of articles or
utilities to be selected for purposes
of taxation.
In seeking for articles to tax the
committee considered magazines as
Legitimate prey. They also discussed
the advisability Of levying a tax on
the magazines that accompany many
Sunday newspapers. A Democratic
leader said that a purely nominal tax
on the periodical press would yield
an enormous revenue. Moving pic
ture films may also be taxed. 1t was
lsuggested hat an assessment of 81
a thousand feet on films would be
productive of a considerable sum.
That tickets issued to baseball
games, theaters and other places of
a~musements will be taxed practical
iy is assured, although a final con-
%clusion in this regard has not been
reached.
There appears to be sentiment in
the committee for a small advance
in the rate on whiskey and rectified
spirits. Whiskey now pays $1.10 a
gallon. If the rate on this product
is increased it will not be beyond
S1.25 or $3.50, according to mem
bers of the committee. The argument
is made that while whiskey may pay
now about all the traffic will bear,
the trainers of the law would be
placed in an embarrassing position
if they increased the rate on beer.
levied a tax on wines and soft drinks
and let whiskey go scot free So the
chances are that for political reasons
a Slight advance in the rate on whis-
key will be authorized.
