Fill DAY, AFGUST :«, Thu Aberdeen News now appears in new clothes, which greatly improves the appearances of that excellent paper. Madison people have bepun the agi tation of holding a county fair this fall. Lake county had good crops and it ought to have a good show. Davison was one of the few counties in the state which increased its popu lation in the past live years. Some counties lost as high as :i,()un citizens in that lime. However with the re turn of prosperity the population will increase where it has now grown less. The salaries of private secretaries in foreign countries will liaye to be raised now that liaron llothchild's secretary opened a letter, intended for the baron, containing an infernal ma chine. which blew out an eye and took oil' several lingers. A dispatch appeared iu the Sioux Fajls papers to the ciVeet that Mitchell would not hold acorn palace this fall. It would seem from this that an at tempt had been made lo hold the ex hibition and failed. This is a mistake. •At no time has there been an attempt made to hold the exhibition and in view of that there could be no failure. Sioux City Journal: The South Dakota newspapers probably echo pub lie sentiment on the agricultural col lege case when they almost unanim ously express the hope that the troub les of the college are at an end. It is not so much a question of bow the quarrel has been settled as the fact that it is allowed to remain settled for all time. Opinions will differ as to who was right and who was wrong iu the case, but all will agree that some body was going wrong and great" in jury was being done to a worthy stato educational 'institution. The school year will soon commence, and there is no reason now why the college at Brookings should not have a suecess "ful year. The ninth annual convent ion of the equal suffrage association will be held at Pierre September iii and 17. In a circular received from the president the. object set forth is "to educate men and women into a knowlege of their rights and duties as citizens of a republic, and through them to arouse our state to a sense of the wrong per petrated by the disfranchisement of more than half of the people, in op position to the prineiplesof government declared by the preamble and bill of rights, and the principles laid down in the constitution of our state." Political equality clubs may send two delegates and each W. C. T. U. and W. 11. C. organization are entitled to one delegate in the convention. A Miller special says: In speaking of irrigation, Congressman l. ickler. who spent a short time here recently, said he proposed making a hard effort in the next congress for an appropriation of $25,000 or *:io.(.)0U to establish an ex perimental irrigation station at some point in the eastern basin in this' state. He sta'ted that the law already enacted —though not generally known here— giving states iu the semi-humid regions 1,000,000 acres of land each thaA would reclaim ten acres on each quarter sec tion, the 1,000.Olio acres then to be sold and the proceeds to go into a general irrigation fund, lias been taken advant age of by four states, and he thinks South Dakota will pass a law at the next sesion looking to the final acquire ment of this 1,000,ODD acres of an irri gation fund. The major said that. at Britton and other parts of the state where he had been the farmers were making contracts for well's and that the prospects for a larc number of new wells this fall was encouraging indeed. Ho stated that in his visits over the state, in personal observations and talks with the farmers themselves, he is satisfied that the people upon the whole are more prosperous and better o'T than ever before, and that while there is now and then a family leaving, there area num ber moving iu. He_ is a belfbver in sheep, and conveycd the idea that he intended to make an investment in that line before long. Wool, he said, would never be as low again,"and there would be a duty plated on wool by the next congress which woifld bring the price up again wonderfully. ON NATURE STUDIES. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES- Miss Uoinuree of Huron Delivered a tor ture Hefore the Teacher's Institute. An attentive audience oT teachers gathered at the court house Wednes day e\ening to hear the lecture on "Nature Studies" by Miss Deniaree of Huron. After a well rendered selec tion by the mixed quartet County Sup erintendent West introduced the speaker, who entertained her hearers for an hour by discussing various methods of interesting pupils in the intermruiate and grammar grades in the study of animal and vegetable life and of rocks and the value of these studies. Miss Demaree is a very pleasing speaker and her treatment of the sub ject was good, her language being clear and well chosen. She showed how an interest might be awakened among the pupils concerning the habits and pecu liarities of animals. First, those seen at home and tiien of those of which we may read or tell them about and how easily they may be taught lo classify them. She showed how the study of shell-fish and other water animals may be made interesting and profitable and how it would aid the pupil to have the knowledge received in these grades when he took up zoology proper in the higher course. She adviBcd none but common and simple names to be used that they might not be burdened with words and terms that most older peo ple would not care to remember and and that thev be taught the spelling of whatever were used. Lastly she talked of the way in which she had taken up the study of rocks and demonstrated by illustration what might be accomplish ed along this line and how, even very young children, might be taught to distinguish between the different for mations and even become quite in telligent along that line. The enter tainment closed after another selection by the quartet. All who were present will be present again this evening and it will be worth the while of anyone interested in school work to go to the court house at eight o'clock tonight. I it I From Frldaj's Hall.*. Miss Ida Fdtnond. principal of the Letcher schools anil ex-superiuteddent of Sanborn county, is in attendance to day.

Prof. ShurtlelT stepped into the room and seeing I 'rof. Magure in charge demurely took a seat. It was finally discovered that a mistake had been made and the professors exchanged places neither one knowing whom the joke was upon. I'rof. Taylor of Yankton gave ll: teachers a talk this morning on the care and use oT the eyes. His advice was timely and practical. The total number enrolled during th week is 12(i.

Teall preached at the Bliss house last Sunday. Some of the your.g people of this vicinity will attend the "farewell party" at Mr. Young's in Badger Fri day evening. Under the care of part of a threshing crew a little kiltie buck-cat crept out into the country last week. It did not live nine days or even nine hours but its eyes were fully opened to the fact that the "prohibition law can be en forced''. One of the guardians of the little animal remarked "the worst cf it is the newspaper will say the buck-cat has been eradicated." Peo ple who say "the prohibition law can not be enforced" should apply to Mr. Bliss and if necessary borrow his ax. Enough threshing has been done to show the average yield. Mr. U. K. Saul had 101 bushels of wheat, W. A. Saul ii.1, A. F.. Bliss !, county farm about 7. B. B. Pooley some 7 or S, T. Watson 0 bushels of wheat per acre. More fields yield less than 10 bushels than over that figure. The above wheat was threshed by a machine using a weigher. By measuring the appar ant yield would bo greater, as much of the wheat this year only weighs 40 to •15 pounds to the measured bushel, so we are informed by a thresher. Messrs. W. and It. K. Saul are en joying a vijiit from their brother and his family.
