cooperate with the parents in an Of
fort to keep more OF the students liz

Deadwood.-That the state herd law
cannot interfere with the operation OF
government property was held by
Judge Elliott in the United States dis.
trict court. The case was that of the

ing sheriff Of Lyman county. The gov.
eminent sued by replevin to recover
possession Of eleven head of I'D" cat
tie, which had committed a trespass

to Schooler. The latter had recovered
judgment against the cattle under the
South Dakota herd law, and an exc
cution issued on the judgment. The
court held that the cattle, being prop

from levy. This case is of Importance
in Indian reservation countries where

gineers Albert Taylor, f. j. Carter
and James Griffith are the inventors

months, working over models and per
fecting their patent 80 that ii would
meet the requirements of a severe
practical test. The principal on which
this spark arrester works is TO pull
verize the sparks before they leave
the smoke stack of the locomotive
thus leaving the spark so small that
it is extinguished by the air before

Pierre. - Insurance Commissioner
Stablein has sen out the following APP
peal to the citizens Of South Dakota:
1.-THE Fourth of July. 1914, records
he loss OF 500 lives, burning of 700
buildings, including in the days work
of distress and destruction several
thousand d~isf1gured and MANNED chill
dren through the loss of eyesight and
fingers. Will the people OF this state
be aroused to the danger incident to
the use of or permitting the use of
dangerous explosives, with its disas-
trous death dealing results? Let us
not lose sight of the meaning of this
great day, given us by our forefathers.
Bursting shell and roaring cannon did
not represent the real struggle of the
Revolution; they were but the ultima
tum. the elimination Of the heart
struggles the self sacrifice, the injus-
tice endured by the weak, oppressed
by the strong.
The toy pistol, the flrecracker, the
numerous devices to burn powder, fail
to give to the boy Of today twho will
be the man of tomorrow a profound
understanding Of the words Liberty
and Patriotism
o the Fourth of July. when the
dear nag. never dearer than today.
unfurls to the breeze help us to i'm.
press upon the minds Of our boys and
girls that this flag and this day does
not stand for noise, burning gunpow-
Ger and selfish pleasures alone, but
fG" strength, union, loyalty and free
dom. This generation has forgotten
the horrors of war. Emphasize to them
the awful meaning of the cannon's
roar, help them to understand the ex-
plosives that give so much joy are
in commemoration of intense suffering,
desolation and death.
Let us so memorabilia the Fourth
OF July, 1915, that it shall signalize
In the states history, o a day of SUI.
fering, waste and destruction, but a
day that shall mark a contrast of pres.
eryation and sanity with the awful
devastation of life and property
brought by those horrible days to our
unfortunate brothers OH the other side
Of the great waters"

superintendent of the Children's Home
AT the annual meeting of the board
held at Masonic temple here.
One year ago there was a balance
on hand of S5,252.71. The receipts dur
ing the year were 1885. 90, and the
expenditures were S~l1,497.79. showing
that the receipts the last year have not
quite kept up with the expenses.
The total number OF children 70
ceived into the home since the organ.
ization of the society in 1888 is 2,042.
During the last year 155 children were
handled. or these q We're on hand

Water Right Ruling.

Dead ood.-in his decision ia The
suit of Gus Kellar ct. al. against the
Homestake Mining company over the
Lardner-Moore water right, in the
Carbonate district, Judge McNenny in
the circuit court sustained the right
of the Homestake company to main
tain it's dams and reservoirs, and it's
right to locate and appropriate the
waters Of springs. On the other hand,
he held that the company was not JUS
titled in the construction of a dam ut
the place where their lower dam Is
located. but It's foundation must not
be sunk lower han the dam now oc.
cupying hat site. The court found
the company entitled TO twenty-one
miners inches of water, under the old
measurement, OF twenty-six and a frac-
ton inches under the new measure
ment, the plaintiffs to be entitled to
all water in excess OF this amount,
and that the Homestake was guilty of
trespass when il undertook to locate
one, and for that reason put on the
defendant company a portion OF the
costs. This decision is most impor.
tant to water-uses in the Black Hills.
1t sustains the water right under old
customs, to locate and appropriate
water for the purpose of ~disposing of
it for a consideration TO others not in
terested in the location itself, overrid.
ing the law of 1884,. which provides
that water can be located only by a
land. 1t is the first time in the
history Of the state that a decision
has been rendered sustaining the old
customs that obtained among miners
before there was any specific law on
the subject.

Funds for Dakota Schools.

Pierre.-The state land department
has made it's June apportionment OF
interest and income funds to the com
mon schools, and it amounts to $780,
097. or $4.27 per pupil. The total ap.
portionment this year is an increase
Of $21 1888 v g the June apportion-
ment OF last year. Considering the
fact that under the new law the in.
terest on the 1915 sales is not paid
in advance. the increase is largely
due to the increase In rentals.
