Hills was a scientific one, sent to de-

whether the hills contained gold in
such quantities as to warrant the
government at Washington in open

MED the expedition reported that
was discredited and the outcome was
that the hills country was completely
overrun by prospectors, notwith-
standing the greatest efforts We're
made to prevent. This fact, and later
the ghost-dance incident, brought
about the battles of Wounded Knee

Members Of the Old Settlers Assoc
.Iciation, Ladies and Gentlemen.
According to the usual custom of
our association your historian will
offer a little history Of Dakota.
I shall not attempt any connected
narrative but will only tell Of some
Iof the most interesting events in the
settlement of the territory that has
been known by the name Dakota
since 1858, when it was created.
President Lincoln appointed the
first Territorial officers, with William
Jayne as governor. He arrived at
|Yankton May the 9th, 1861, and
took office when the organic life of
Dakota began. MI. Jayne is alive
and lives in Illinois.
The first assembly met in 1852, and
Congress was memorialized in 1874,
asking that the Territory be divided
on the 46th parallel Of latitude with
the name of the north state Pembina,
1t was eventually divided on that line
but with the name as known at
this time.
The Territory was admitted into
the Union as a. state in 1889, and
John Miller was it's first elected gov
ernor; the first state legislature con-
ivened December 10th, 1889: During
it's first session. Gilbert. Pierce and
Lyman r. Casey were elected United
States senators.

5000 Scholars in a Parade.

From reports received from the teach
ers OF the county, relative to the number
OF pupils to be expected in Frederick
Tor the demonstration of school children
on May 18th. it would appear that about
90 per cent. of the pupils of the public
schools OF the county can be expected to
attend. intermediate Supervisor G.
Lloyd Palmer, who has charge of this
part OF the work, stated recently that if
this percentage is maintained, and he is
basing his estimate upon quite a large
number of replies already in hand, it
will mean that about 5000 school chill
dren will be in Frederick for this demon
stration. The number of patrons, who
may come varies from five per cent. on
up OF the number Of children coming.
Already School Superintendent John
t. White believes that Frederick'S Ar
mory will be unable to accommodate the
number of pupils for the meeting in the
afternoon. and he is considering having
several places for overflow meetings.
He stated that he would use the auditor
ium at the Girls High School, and
would endeavor to secure Hood College
Hall. and if possible, church basement
in order to care for the pupils and would
endeavor to have some one address the
children at each place.
Mr.. White plans TO go to Hagerstown
today, where there will be a parade and
demonstration by the school children,
similar to the one planned here Re-
ports from Hagerstown say that it is ex-
pected that about 5000 school children
will march in the parade. There was a
similar demonstration at HagerStown last
year.
When asked the purpose of these dem
onstrations, Mr.. White stated that he
was unable to say. He stated that they
had been ordered by the State Board of
Education, and that in arranging for the
Frederick gathering he was only carry
ing out the requirements of the superior
board
Mr.. A. s.. Goldsborough, of Balti-
more, formerly secretary to Mayor
Preston, of that city will be the speaker
at the meeting in the armory in behalf of
the Star Spangled Banner Centennial
Committee. Mr.. Goldsborough was Sc
erick Board of Trade. He is regarded
as one of the best orators in the State.
The other speaker in the Armory will
be DR., c. H. Gordonier, of the Milers
vile State Normal School, of Millers-
vile. Pa. Dr. Gordonier has frequently
spoken IN Frederick.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
has written to the school officials stating
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will run special train from
Mount Airy to Frederick for the school
demonstration. The tram will leave Mt.
Airy at 5 a. m, and returning will leave
Frederick at p. m, taking on and leav-
ing off school children and patrons at all
stations.

House Advances War Claim Bill.

The bill introduced in Congress by
Representative David J.. Lewis to pay the
city Of Frederick 100000 exacted of it
by the Confederate army under General
Jubal Early in 1864, under penalty OF
burning the city, was favorably reported
in the House of Representatives, with
amendments. The amendment provides
that the money shall be applied bv the
city toward the payment of the bonded
debt.
When the bill was reported with
amendment it was on its second reading.
The report was adopted and the bill is
now placed on the third reading cslen
dar lust when it will come up for its
third reading and final passage is difficult
to state, as Congressman Lewis wants to

Dynamite Kills wolfsville Man.

Charles Warrenfeltz, 20 years old, OF
WoIfsville, died Friday night at the Fred
erick City Hospital. as the result of the
explosion of five sticks of dynamite in a
basket which he carried in his hand.
The explosion tore two gaping holes in
his neck just above the collar bone, made
several deep cuts in his head, and man
gled his left hand. Physicians had little
hope Of his recovery from the start for
Warrenfeltzs lungs had been injured
through the wounds in his neck. and this
is said to have been the cause of his
death.
Young Warrenfeltz was engaged in
blasting holes on the farm of Henry Stot-
tlemyer, at Wolfsville. He was employ
ed by Mr.. Stottlemyer to prepare the
ground for the planting of fruit trees.
With him were Charles Lewis and Prof.
c. Z. Stottlemyer both of Wollsville,
who were engaged in measuring of the
distances between the holes. Warren
feltz'S work was to place the dynamite
and ignite the fuse that exploded 1t.
Prof Stottlemyer and Lewis were about
90 yards away from Warrenfetz when the
explosion occurred. Their backs were
turned to him and they are unable to ex-
plain how the accident happened 1t is
thought, however, that Warrenfeltz after
igniting the fuse, dropped the match in
the basket containing the dynamite which
he carried in his hand.
