Texas has something to be proud
Of in losing by only one point TO such

sons between the ages of 16 and 81
who do not have at least a fifth
grade education.
The old state law provided that
children must go to school until they
were 16 years old, after which they
could drop out whether they had
made any progress or not. The new
law completely alters that condition
and county superintendent will have
to arrange classes for all those be-
tween the ages affected who do not
know the English language well
enough to read and write. The new
law, it is said, is aimed particularly
at foreigners, though all others will
be included. The law also carries a
provision that citizens more than 81
years old will be admitted to the
classes if they desire to enter.

HAIL INSURANCE
COUNTY AUDITORS MEET A.
MITCHELL TO DISCUSS
NEW LAW.

Mitchell. April 29.-The new
state hail insurance law is puzzIing
county auditors. Twenty-Five of them
gathered here to talk things over and
endeavor to arrive at some concIu-
sions regarding the methods to be
used in putting it in practice.
1t seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that inasmuch as the law was
elective with the farmer it was not
the duty of the auditor to undertake
to persuade the farmer to come I'M
der the provisions of the statute. 1t
was also agreed, however, that the
measure was n of the best the state
ever has passed.
The measure fixes the acreage
premium at approximately 3 IL per
cent. and guarantees full 100 per
cent benefit in case of loss. The
premium. of course, differs in differ
ert zones, these having been marked
out based on their past experience
with hail. When a certain sum has
been set aside for a sinking fund the
measure provides for a decrease in
the premiums. 1t was pointed out
that this would benefit those farm
ers who would not elect to come un-
der the measure until that sinking
fund had been raised. But it was

The burglaries of the store resulted
in the loss of a considerable quantity
of goods. The boy was lodged in the

Lead-After having failed to hear
from their soldier son for more thar
four months, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Carter, of Lead, were overjoyed to
receive a telegram from the son
Charles Carter, dated at Des Moines,
Ia, stating that he had been dis
charged from the military service
and was about to depart for his
home. When the parents last heard
from him, more than four months
ago. he was in a hospital in France

under a huge drift, still alive but
somewhat weak from their long fast
ing. A little food improved their
condition greatly and there is no
question but that they will come out
all right.
Frankfort - Milton Kuhns, a
Frankfort boy, will never bite an
other cartridge, having decided as
the result of bitter experience that
they r. dangerous things to attempt
to chew. While in school he placed
a 22-caliber cartridge in his mouth
and closed his teeth so tightly that
it exploded. The bullet passed
through his tongue and his mouth
was badly lacerated by the force of
the explosion. Physicians pulled him
through.

BLACK HAND
WEALTHY FARMER RECEIVES A
NOTE DEMANDING s., 1000.

Sioux Falls. April 29.-Although
there have not yet been any impor-
tant developments, arrests are ex-
pected to result from the sending OF
a BLACK hand" letter to John C.
Plagmann, a wealthy farmer of the
Emery territory. The letter, which
evidently was mailed at Chamber
lain, s. d., or or the Chamberlain
dubuque passenger train on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
which passes through Emery, de-
manded that Plagmann send $4,000
to a certain address in Aberdeen
within twenty-four hours, the threat
being made that If he did not comply
all the buildings on his farm would
be blown to Kingdom come"
The letter also stated that the
money must be in United States cur
rency; that checks or drafts or any
other form of payment would not be
accepted. The "black hand" letter
also directed that the money be sent
in a plain, unsealed envelope.
Federal agents who are said to be
working on the cas- are said to have
advised Plagmann to send the mon
ey according to instructions given in
the black hand" letter, the plan be-
Ing for officers to follow the letter
to Aberdeen and ~apprehend the per-
son or persons when the envelope
containing the money was called for
at the Aberdeen postoffice.
No announcement has been made
as to whether or not this was done
or as to the present status of the
case. but 1t is believed the officers
now are making a still hunt in the
hope of capturing those responsible
for the sending of the letter. 1t is
intimated from quarters in toucn
with the situation that arrests may
be made in connection with the case
soon.

power SURVEYS
EXPERTS SELECTED TO INVESTI-
GATE HARVESTING OF THE
MISSOURI RIVER.

Pierre, April 29.-The first steps
toward actual development work
along the improvement of the po-
tential power of the Missouri river
for the benefit of the people of the
state has been made by the selection,
by the hydro-electric commission, of
Daniel w. Mead and Charles V. Sea-
stone, of Madison, Wis, to make the
surveys and report upon the water
powers of the Missouri river in South
Dakota as contemplated by the hydo-
electric act of the recent legislature.
DR.. Mead is dean Of engineering
of Wisconsin university, and is
perhaps the first authority upon
hydraulic engineering in the country.
He is the author of several text
books which are considered stand
ard. AS a practical engineer he has
done a great deal of work and was
the pioneer of the construction of
sand dams, among his efforts being
the Prairie du Sac dam in the Wis
consin river.
Mr.. Seastone is q notable engineer
both from the practical and theoreti-
cal viewpoints. He was long en-
gagged as engineer under the Missis-
sippi river commission, and for sew
en- years was professor of engineer
ing in the state university of Illinois
These engineers already have en-
