Dr. Mathes, present head of the normal
school at Bellingham, Wash. to which
DR.. g.. w. Nash. Of the Northern Nor

president, would be elected president, Of
the institution at Aberdeen, was total
ly unauthorized, as Mr.. Mathes has
purchased a book store at Bellingham,
Of which he will take possession as
soon as his term expires next summer.
Bel1ngham papers state this and Pres
1dent Mathes, while in Aberdeen to
give a lecture. confirmed the report in
his home papers.
Many Aberdeen people are urging
the regents to elect Willis e. johnson,
now head of the Normal Industrial

or nine years, until last fall, vice pres
ldent of the local normal, and 1t is
understood that Prof. E. c. Woodbrn,

JOYCE. MEXICAN REFUGEE.
TELLS OF HARD LUCK

Edgemont, S. D., March 13.-Anong
the visitors to Edgelnont yesterday was
Capt. J. Joyce, a refugee from war
ridden Mexico, who was en- route from
the southern republic to his former
home at Gillette, Wyo., where he will
visit with his daughter until it is con
sidered safe for him to return to
Mexico.
While in Edgemont he talked inter
estingly of affairs in Mexico. where
for the last 15 years he had been In
terested in the hardware business at
Torreon. In recent heavy fighting be-
tween the rebels and federals his part
ner was killed by a stray bullet and
their store building was demolished by
shells that fell during the c~annonading.
Mr.. Joyce, in describing the horrors
Of his flight, stated that he saw a
number Of women and children nsur-
dered In cold blood. He was compelled
to fight for his own life in making his
escape from the city and reached
safety without injury after frequent
use Of his revolver.
The refugee appears to have had
more than his share Of nisfortunes
during the past year or so, for in add
ton to his recent loss of his Mexican
property he escaped by a 15-nainute
margin a watery grave at the tirne of
the Titantic disaster. He had intended
to take passage on the Inflated liner
and his baggage had been taken aboard
and all preparations made, when emily
about 15 minutes before the time set
for the ships departure he changed his
mind and decided to remain over for
a few days LONGER.

BOARD WILL ATTEMPT TO
REGULATE HOG NIRIic

Pierre. S. D., March 1.-THE live
stock sanitary board Will hold a con-
ference on Tuesday, March II, to CON
slider the regulation and distribution of
hog cholera virus in this state. 1t is
presumed under the statutes providing
for the regulation of all such matters
that the board should have control of
the use of this virus and formal steps
will be taken to do so. The hog cholera
serum is a preventative, but, the virus
is like smallpox vaccination virus. it
brings on a form of the disease, which
should render the animals immune later
on to actual c%ontagion. AS a matter of
fact it Is now reported to the board
that some localities are using the virus
and bringing on a real cholera, killing
off the hogs. This condition is due to
ignorance in using the virus, and the
board expects to take steps toward reg
ulating the administration of the virus
TO make 1T safe and take the right to
use 1t out of inexperienced or unin-
formed persons.

With Great Capacity.

nous vote at a mass meeting or
the citizens of Mitchell at the city
hall last evening it was decided that
Mitchell shall have a new fireproof corn
palace to cost round $50, 900. and that
they are to nave it this year. The COM

about a month ago to report at his
time as to a location for the new build
Ing, a method of financing the PROPOSE
ton and the a~dvisability of completing
1t this year was there with a very
definite n clear cut report.
They recommended that the new
corn palace be built two blocks fur
Their north the the present one and
on the west side of Main street at the
corner of Seventh avenue and Main
street; that a building committee Sc
lected by the city council, the CONNER
cfal club n the corn palace directors,
acting Jointly, be Incorporated and is
sue bonds to buy a site and construct
a permanent building large enough tC
seat 5000 to 10, 600 people; that the
new structure be completed if possible
in time to accommodate the 1914 car
nival next September.
After considerable discussion, during
which 1T was seen that the people are
Tor the adoption of the report, such
action was taken. out with the pro-
VISION that the building committee to
be selected may change the proposed
location if they see fit after further
investigation h main objection
raised to the new site was that of
Its proximity to the Omaha railroad,
which might detract from its value as
q convention building, especially dur
ing the summer months when doors
and windows would be open and the
