QUESTION OVER TITLE HAS DE-
LAYED DEPARTMENT IN PUSH
ING THE WORK OF IMPROVE
MENT.

Superintendent Brown of the Indian
schools, who spent some time here
last summer in an effort to secure
the Hargrove college property for
the Bloomfield Academy, recently
burned, has not succeeded in getting
everything in the proper shape to
take the property over.
According to statement of G
II. Bruce, secretary of the school
board, there seems to be some flaw
in the title, and until this is straight
ened out to the satisfaction of the
department no further work will be
done on the property.
The city and the superintendent
had reached an agreement relative to
connecting the property with the
sewer and water mains of the city,
and bids were asked for, but the
work was suddenly suspended when
the above emergency arose. 1t was
hoped to have everything in readi-
ness for the opening of the school
January /, but unless the affairs can
be adjusted the opening may be de-
layed another year.

chantmen sunk off Beachy Head. The
victims this time were the French
steamer Emma, which was torpedoed
yesterday, without notice, nineteen OF
her crew going down with their ship
and the British steamer Seven Seas,
sent to the bottom this afternoon
without warning, eleven of her crew
being drowned
The British losses already reported
for the week ending March 81 were
five steamers. A sixth vessel was
torpedoed but reached port. During
the week, however, 1863 vessels
entered and sailed from British
ports, so, except for the deplorable
loss of life, the damage was not con-
sidered excessive.
On the other hand, the British
have no means of ascertaining the
nature of the damage done by the
bombs dropped at Hoboken and Zee
brugge, although it is believed that
two of the underwater craft lying
at the mole of Zeebrugge were dam

Beyond these attacks, the official
reports contain little news today, and
that which they do give relates only
to operations of minor Importance.
Mine warfare has been in progress
at many points in the west and at
other points there have been artillery
duels and occasional infantry a.tacks
but nothing that has in any way ar.
preached the proportions of battle.
In the east the armies stand about
as they were. The fighting in north
ern Poland has been of a desultory
character, both sides apparently hav.
ing given up any idea of advancing
for the present. In Central Poland,
however, the Russians are showing
considerable liveliness.

years old and Darrell two years, were
outside playing and managed to get
into the cellar under the house through
an outside passage. The parents kept
a small box of Paris Green stored away
there and they managed to get hold of
1t. They came up and sat down on the
doorsteps and finding a spoon in the

THE KICKER

There is one man in Brookings coun-
ty that deserves to be kicked into the
middle of next week. He's the man
that jammed into a two seated car
riage containing four small children,
nearly upsetting the carriage and
smashing up one of the rear wheels.
This wasn't so bad, as accidents of
that kind are liable to occur at any
time when a team becomes unmanage-
able, but when he jumped into his W
rig and scampered off as fast as he
could leaving a helpless woman with
a baby and our small children to the
mercies of a broken and shattered rig
that might have fallen down anywhere
on the road home, we are of the
opinion that he could easily capture
the prize for being the meanest man in
Bookings county.

Main street. Being forty feet higher
than the old stack it ought to send
what smoke that may issue from its
top so far above the surrounding build

Other chimneys that offend will now

We may not get rid of all of it but
every little helps.
Competition for business sometimes
becomes so keen in the average town
that line merchants often break owe

Brookings county was one of the
three counties selected by the state
census department for the purpose of
making some general deductions in
regard to the character of the tenure
of farm lands. 1t was found that in
this county that 1,116 farms are operat-
ed by owners, 231 are operated by
cash renters and 81 by share renters.
The number of farms operated by own
ers is a little above the average for the
state. The reason is given that a
proportion Of the land that was
entered by persons Of foreign birth
and younger members from the older
states is still held and operated by the
original owners or their descendants.
This holds good in the south tier Of
especially. The operating
Of land by owners makes for perman-
ency in population and financial stabil-
ity and it ought to be a matter Of pride
Brookings county stands neal or
heads the list in the character Of the
tenure of it's farm lands. AS O as
the price Of farm lands gets beyond
the reach of the persons who are buy
ing for speculation we may expect to
see the proportion of permanent own
,rship and operation increase.
