HUNDRED in SCHOOL
AN ADDITIONAL 100 WILL COME
TO NORMAL NEXT WEEK,
1T Is EXPECTED.

Enrolment for the summer classes
at the State Normal school has reach
ed the 100 mark, and a few more
students are expected to enter be-
fore the enrolment closes, at the
end of the week, according to c. r.
Westaby, accountant. The largest
number of students that ever before
attended summer school was eighty
five, last year, and, it is said, that
this summers attendance exceeded
the expectations of the faculty. The
growing popularity of the State Nor
NAL school here is evidenced by the
fact that a number Of the students
have come from outside the state.
The large attendance has made
necessary the engaging of an addi-
tional instructor. Miss Ellen Nc
Keen, of Sioux Falls, who was for
merly a member of the Normal fac
ulty. has been added to the summer
school staff, and she has sent word
that she will arrive here the last OF
the week.
The teachers institute, which will
be held at the Normal school next
week, Is expected to augment the at
tendance by an additional 100. In
order TO obtain their certificates, all
of the Lake county school teachers
are required to attend the institute

LITTLE Bend
THIRD DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN
HOPES TO SECURE LOCATION
OF NITRATE PLANT.

Washington, June 15.-Congress-
man Harry l.. Candy, of the Third
South Dakota district, is deyoting
much attention to the efforts that
are being made in South Dakota to
induce congress and the president to
locate the proposed s12, 0O0, 600 gov
eminent nitrate plant on the Little
Bend of the Missouri river, near
Pierre.
The congressman has been work
ing indefatigably on the proposition
ever since the plan of building a gov
eminent plant was originated, and
has gotten together a vast amount of
data showing the amount of power
it is possible to develop at Little
Bend at a comparatively small cost
when the expense of developing sim
liar projects in other parts of the
country is considered. Inasmuch as
the power must be developed in some
fashion, somewhere in the country,
when the government plant is con-

MADISON'S DRIEST DAY
CITY WATER, OFF ALL DAY, TO
BE TURNED ON EARLY
THIS EVENING.

Strength was added to Madison's
claim of being a real dry city, when
early this morning the city water
service was cut off to permit of the
waterworks department installing a
new automatic valve at the stand
pipe, clean the standpipe and make
connections with new water mains.
Owing to the early hour at which
the water was cut off, considerable
inconvenience was experienced. AL
though it had been announced that
the water would be turned off early
today, most users appeared to under
stand that there would be ample
time this morning to store a supply
that would be sufficient to last until
evening. The water was turned off
at about 5 o'clock, with the result
that the average citizen either car
ried water with which to prepare
breakfast or went without tea or cof-
fee at the morning meal. Restaurant
managers say that they were partic-
ularly hard hit.
Intermittent showers partially
made up for the absence of the street
sprinkler. 1t was said this afternoon
that work of making the necessary
changes in the system was going
ahead favorably. Some difficulty
was experienced in Kidding some sec
tions of main of water. At a low
point at Fourth street and Harth
avenue the water did not drain from
the mains and had to be dipped out.
1t is said that there is slight likeli-
hood that it will be necessary to shut
down the whole waterworks system
when changes are made in the flu
ture. New valves, which will make
1t possible to handle sections indi-
vidually, are being installed.
1t was predicted this afternoon
that the water would again be turned
on early this evening.

new PREMIUM LIST
MUCH TIME DEVOTED TO BRING
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
BOOK UP TO DATE.

At the conclusion Of several weeks
work by a special committee, the
Lake County Agricultural society has
ii is believed, just about as complete
a premium list as has any similar
organization in the west.
Not before in a dozen years have
revisions of consequence been made
in the printed list of premiums dis
tributed before the annual county
fair. That the list might be brought
up to date, lists from other agricul-
tural and fair associations in South
Dakota and elsewhere were obtained
for reference, and the work of max
ing revisions and classifications
given into the hands of a committee
composed of Mrs. J.. II. Elfert, Mrs.
II. A. Hartwich, Mrs. +. A. Ripe
and A. G. Schmidt, secretary of the
society. The list was later referred
to others, and has finally been adopt
ed by the directors of the Agricul-
tural society, after close scrutiny.
The changes made were largely in
the kitchen supplies" fine arts"
and household articles depart
ments.
Heretofore, owing to the incom-
pleteness of the list, entries were re-
cefyed and prizes awarded for num-
bers OF articles not listed. AS many
persons were that prizes
would be awarded for articles not in
the printed list, more or less dissat-
isfaetion resulted. In future. articles
not tabulated will not be permitted
to enter into competition, it is ex-
planned.
1t is intended to have the lists
ready for distribution earlier this
year than usual. They will probably
be available late in July. The fair
will be held September 5, s, z and s.

Hitch over GRAVEL
SAID THAT SOME MATERIALS
FOR CONCRETE IN SCHOOL
BUILDING MUST BE
WASHED.

Whether the Sioux Falls Construc-
ton company, which has the contract
for building the model school at the
State Normal school, will be permit
ted to use in the construction of the
building unwashed sand and gravel,
will probably be determined by State
Engineer Homer M. Derr.
1t is said that tests of the sand and
gravel, now on the site of the build
ing, which was to have been used in
mixing concrete does not come up to
specifications, and that a protest
against it's use, without first wash
ing, has been made by j. H. Roberts,
inspector for the state board of re-
gents.
1t is said that while the contract
specifies that sand and gravel, such
as may be obtained in the vicinity
of Madison may be used, both must
be clean cut and must not contain
more than 4 or 5 per cent of foreign
substance, such as clay or loan,

PLEA FOR PENSION
MADISON WOMAN TOLD HER
LATE HUSBAND WAS NOT
DIVORCED FROM A FOR
MER WIFE.

Setting forth that a pension due
her as a veterans widow is being
unjustly withheld from her, and that
she is unable to properly support
herself, Mrs. Flora Frost, about 20
years of age. today submitted a letter
to The Daily Leader. asking that
cognizance be taken of her predica-
ment.
Mrs. Frost writes that not until
after the death of Moses Frost, her
husband, about eight years ago, and
more than thirty years after she and
Moses Frost were married in Charles
City, Ia, a woman who claimed to be
Mrs. Helen Frost. and Moses Frost's
legal wife, appeared on the scene,
and obtained the pension money
which had been enjoyed by Mrs.
Flora Frost.
Mr.. Frost served in a Wisconsin
infantry regiment in the civil war.
Mrs. Flora Frost maintains hat her
late husband was married in 1866,
the year after he was mustered out
of service, to a Mrs. Maria Hospers,
at Usage, Ia, and that Mrs. Maria
Frost died about nine years later.
The writer states that she and Moses
Frost were married in Charles City,
Ia, in 1877, and that during Mr..
Frost's life no word was heard from
Helen Frost, and not for a consider
able time after the mans demise.
During a p~rotracted illness, which
preceded his death, Mrs. Flora Frost
nursed her husband, and she declares
that during the more than thirty
years they lived together she had no
inkling that he was not legally sepa-
rated from his first wife. At Moses
Frost's death, a comfortable pension
given him by the government was
made payable to the Mrs. Frost in
Madison. The payments suddenly
ceased, and the pension department
sent word that the money had been
transferred TO Mrs. Helen Frost, of
Lacrosse, Wis, whom he is said to
have married before the war, on the
grounds that Moses Frost had never
obtained a legal separation from her.
Persons in the city familiar with
the case, say that the pension depart
ment sent an agent here from Wash
ington to investigate the matter sew
eral years ago. The final ruling was
that Mr.. Frost never had obtained a
divorce from Helen Frost.
Last fall Congressman Dillon drew
up a bill, asking hat Mrs. Frost be
given a special pension. The bill
was killed in committee.
