State Fair School Exhibits

The premium list for school
exhibits has been increased over
500 and is now as attractive
list as any offered in any of the
western states. Special attention
is called to the fact that the prizes
offered in manual traDing, sewing,
drawing, map-drawing and illus
trated booklets have been greatly
increased.
So far as possible the premium
list is made out with the thought
that the work involved in prepar-
ing exhibits shall have real
educational value. If pupils have
standard for their daily work,
many exhibits may be selected
from it. The premium list should
be read carefully by the teacher
in order that some of the work
pupils are called on to do may
fully meet the requirements for
entry in the various classes. Old.
or pupils should also be encourag-
ed to read the premium list and
to undertake problems suggested
therein, in addition to their repu-
lar school work.
The secretary of the State Board
desires that this year each school
shall get full credit for prizes won
not merely the county. This
will necessitate that each school
making a decldely representative
exhibit shall fill out a separate
entry blank The entry number
should be the same for the entire
county; but each school entry
blank should contain the name of
the school, the name Of the teach.

intendent.
Premium lists will be furnished
to county superintendent and city
superintendents, in quantities, on
request. Teachers will be suppl.
ed with premium lists by their
superintendent.

Hon. Frank w. MOndell, of
Wyoming, took the opportunity
recently afforded by a discussion
of present day mail routes in the
west to call the attention Of the
house to the pony express Of the
early days, and the fact that one
of the pioneers Of that service.
Col. Cody, had just passed a. ay.
Mr.. MOndell paid a glowing
tribute to Buffalo Blll's" life
and character, mentioning the
debt which the west owed that
pioneer for the part he played in
the upbuilding of that section of
the country. No man ever lived
in the west" asserted Representa-.
tive MondelI, who combined, as
he did, the sterling qualities which
make men useful in stirring and
soul-testing days. He was an
ideal representative of time and
condition curiously blending the
extremes of hardship anu roman

Pacific Coast Flyer In
Ditch Near Roscoe

Around midnight Tuesday local
trainmen received hurry up call
for the wrecker and relief train
to come to he rescue OF Number
10, about ore and one half miles
west of Roscoe. In a manner
unknown at the present time, the
fast all steel traia lett the tracks,
injuiing fifteen people.
Because Of weather conditions
two engines were pulling he train
at the time of the accident. Many
reports have been received. Some
to the effect that the OF servatiOn
car is standing on end and that
ihe second eugine turned over
completely. Many say there is
not a car left on the track.
The wrecker was made up here
ard ready to go, when orders were
received to send the relief train
first. The wrecker belonging to
the local shops is too small to
handle an all steel coach alone.
and in all probability a larger
outfit will come up from Mime
apolis before taain service will be
resumed.
Among the Mobridge people
who were in the wreck were At

his knee cap injured and was
struck in the head by loOsened
