OF NORMAL
RETURNS EAST
Il. G. HIGBIE LATELY ELECTED
AS HEAD OF MADISON NOR
NAL SCHOOL

Prof. f. c. Higbie, who was recent
ly selected by the board of regents as
president of the Madison state normal
departed for New York City this
morning following a pleasant visit
here yesterday.
The newly elected head of the local
institution was impressed with the
city of Madison and his prospects at
the normal. He returns east to COM
plete unfinished work at Columbia
university. His graduation there will
accord him a doctors degree.
Prof. Higbie's family are in New
York City at the present time. He
has two children who are receiving
their education at that place Follow
ing the completion of his university
work the newly elected president
plans on bringing his family to this
city. His official duties, however, do
not begin until July 1st.
Madison people will welcome this
new school officer who has had in
tensive training not only at Columbia
uhlN VI Slty DuI dlSo dI Tie university
of Chicago and the university of Min
nesota At the first named institu-
ton he received his degree of A. B.
in 1907 and the M. A. degree in '09.
The local institution is fortunate in
having for its president a man whose
wide experience in actual school prac-
tice so well qualities him for higher
educational supervision and admin
Stration. For ten years Prof Hig-
bie's work was particularly along the
line of administrative duties in con-
nection with rural and graded
schools. For seven years he was the
superintendent of the West tantral
School of Agriculture at Morris Mimi
He also did vocational educaiona
work for the federal board. While
thus engaged he organized the Sol
diers' School for disabled men. Prof
Higbie has conducted summer train
ing school for teachers and at one
time became a special lecturer fol
state department at Washington.
The president-elect states that il
is his purpose to cooperate with the
commercial club and to put on a spe.
cial advertising campaign to foster a
greater interest in the school tC
which he has been called.

HURON WOMAN
PLACED IN JAIL
MRS. WILLIAM FELIX, ACCUSED
OF CONSPIRACY TO ROB
HER HUSBAND

Sioux Falls, May 8.-Mrs. William
Felix, of Huron, has been brought to
Sioux Falls and placed in the Mimi
haha county Jail for safe keeping to
await her trial on the charge of con-
spiracy to rob. Some months ago two
men entered the Felix home at Huron
and assaulted Felix and stole about
$1,700 which he was carrying. At
the time Mrs. Felix is alleged to have
told a story about two strange men
entering the house and assalting her
husband. Later she made a confes-
sion in which she charged Albert La
than, an old friend, and another par
ty with being the ones who made the
assault. According to her alleged
statement the agreement was for the
two men to get the money and turn
$500 of it over to Mrs. Felix, and
retain the other $500 for their trou-
BILE. When the men failed to return
the money to Mrs. Felix she made the
confession to the officers, it is said,
with the result that Latham was ar
rested at Des Moines and taken back
to Huron where he is now awaiting
trial. The other man accused by Mrs.
Felix has never been apprehended.
William Felix, after the assault
was in a precarious condition for
some time and as yet has not become
normal menetally. He has been taken
to the home of relatives where it is
hoped that with rest and good treat
ment his mind will return.

Sheepherder Loses
Mind From Solitude

Hot Springs, May 7.-W. J. Nelson,
who registered at a local hotel and
gave his residence as Kruger, Mont,
has become violently insane.
He had been sheep-herder for a
Montana stockman who had his
flocks at Vale during the winter.
1t is supposed the solitude sur
rounding his employment and the
worry over the feed question for the
sheep following the severe spring
storms are responsible for his losing
his mind.
The relatives of the unfortunate
man cannot be located.
He came to Hot Springs to take
the baths for rheumatism.

coroner and one by the county hos
pital, were being investigated today
by Health Commissioner Robertson
following discovery that all three vic
Tins were employed at the Chicago

Officers of the company say five
per cent of their raw material is inn
ported from the Argentine. h
Bernard Horwick, president of the
company, said today the cases were
the first he had heard of in 25 years

EARLY S0WN GRAIN
ABOVE GROUND
WEEKLY SUMMARY WEATHER
BUREAU SAYS WINTER WHEAT
DOING FAIRLY WELL

Huron, May 8.-The following is a
tions in South Dakota for the week
ending May 4:
The weather was cold during most
of the past week, though during part
of the week the temperature was
near normal.
during the previous week, though
over most of the state rain fell in
considerable amounts. In the north
central part of the state the rainfall
was generally light. There was a de-
ficiency of sunshine.
Farm work was further delayed by
rain and wet ground, but in some To-
calities, especially in the northern
part, conditions for plowing and seed
ing were greatly improved by the lat
ter part of the week and this work
made good progress.
Early sown wheat and oats were
coming up and looking well in most
sections, but growth was slow.
Winter wheat is doing fairly well
but is spotted in localities. Rye is
fair to good.
The planting of potatoes and gar
dens has been greatly delayed. Mea-
dows and pastures are coming slow
ly but they are generally in promising
condition. Very little pasturage is
afforded as yet.
Stock suffered greatly from the
cold rain and the shortage of feed
and further losses by death have re-
suited.

west, is the center of attraction to-
day for out of town people as well
as for those residing in Madison. AS

play batteries, special gearing greas-
es, spark plugs, tires and numerous
articles necessary for auto repairing.

Over twenty years ago Henry Gull
stine exhibited the first automobile in
Lake county. To date 1900 auto Ii
censes have been issued from the
county auditors office. This number
does not include licenses issued to
dealers. The amazing growth of the
automobile industry is seen on every
hand Madison has possibly more
auto dealers and other related auto
lines than any other city of it's size
in the state.
Tonight the show room floor will
be made ready for the big ball that
has been so widely advertised. This
will conclude the city's first attempt
in putting on an auto show of any
magnitude.
