SEVEN GIRLS RUN
RACE FOR COUNTY SUPERIN.
TENDENT PROBABLY WITH
OUT PARALLEL In THE
WEST.

Perhaps for the first time in the
history of South Dakota counties,
and so far as has been learned, in
any other state. seven young ladies
in Lake county this year are contend
ers for the office of county superin-
tendent of schools. All have engaged
actively into the campaign for honors
at the May primaries, and several
have already removed any doubt as
TO whether they are accomplished
election workers.
The young ladies all are we'll
known in the county. most of them
having acquired at least a part of
their education in Madison schools.
The candidates are Miss Winnifred
Il. Love, Miss Alice Ripe. Miss Leora
Laughlin, Miss Florence Goodroad,
Miss Mabel Matthews, Miss Ingmar
Iyerson and Miss Carrie Biederstaedt.
Miss Laughlin is running on the
democratic ticket and Miss Iverson
has the support of the socialists. The
other five young ladies are running
as republicans. Mrs. Della Stearns,
the present county superintendent, is
not a candidate for reelection.

AWARDED ONE DOLLAR
CHARGE OF MALICIOUS ARREST
- MADE AGAINST WOOD
SMITH, MITCHELL OFFICER.

Mitchell, April Issuing the city
chief of police, Wood Smith, in cir
cult court for $4,000 on six differ
ent counts charging malicious arrest
and prosecution, James Spears was
awarded a verdict by the jury for 81.
The jury was out all Saturday night.
The case attracted widespread atten-
ton through the city and county.
Spears chief contention for dam
ages was his arrest by the chief of
police last fall on charges of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct. Spears
and his witnesses testified that the
officer broke into his house on Sun
day morning without provocation,
dragged Spears to Jail and in doing
so severely dubbed him about the
head several times.
Spears also swore that the chief of
police had several times threatened
to get" him and to run him out of
town.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
EXCELLENT ENROLIMENT-SUM-

The spring term opened April A..
The enrolment is excellent and all

All departments are crowded and

duction. This is a comedy, rich in
mirth and dramatic possibilities.
Summer school and institution will
begin June IL. Institute will be held
i'm connection with the session. All
subjects for first and second grade
an dstate certificates will be offered.
The session will be twelve weeks in
length, divided into two half terms
of six weeks each. The instructors
have been chosen mainly from the
regular Normal school faculty. Some
outside excellent talent has been Sc
cured for both institute and summer
school. Prof. Jackson, OF Grand
Rapids Training school, will lecture
on rural school methods. He has a
national reputation in this work and
it will be a great privilege for all
teachers to hear this distinguished
educator. Miss Casey, of Sioux City.
Ia, schools, will have charge of the
drawing work in the institute. She
is widely known as a teacher of this
subject.
The length of the term makes pos
sible much regular Normal work and
opportunity will be given to complete
many subjects of the regular ad-
vanced courses that could not be com
pleted in shorter term. Many re-
quests for information relative to the
summer term are being received and
prospects for a large attendance are
very bright.
The bids for the construction of
the new building are being received
and will be opened by the regents
late this month.
The junior class are hard at work
on the year book, THE Anemone. !"
From present indications the years
book will be the best issued by any
junior class. Alphonse Sullivan is
editor in chief.
The classes in agriculture have
been given authority by the board of
regents to test seed corn for farmers
at a charge of so cents per bushel.
Before this regulation went into eff
feet, about forty bushels had been
tested gratis by the students. So
many requests for work of this kind
were received that the board thought
best to allow the students to earn a
little money in this way. All fees so
collected will be paid TO members OF
the classes doing the work. Many
farmers are taking advantage of the
opportunity to thus secure ear tested
seed at a nominal rate.
