We Notice From Our Exchanges That President Taft's failure to nominate A federal judge for the district of South Dakota, a vacan cy having existed for more than three months, is exciting much comment in Washington. The at tention of the president has been called to the fact that the judicial business of South Dakota calls for the appointment of a judge. De spite this the president so far has failed to make a nomination. No member of the delegation has been advised when he will or whom he will name. The reason for the de lay is not explained either by the president or the attorney general. That a law of the last session of the legislature provides that the ptate normal .schools may grant first and second grade diplomas to teachers without examination, after they have completed an approved course of study which is to be pre pared for such certificates. Since the adjournment of the session a number of inquiries are coming to the state educational department in regard to this enactment, in which the holders of diplomas from the normals think they are entitled to the privileges of the law. But the department holds that the law is not retroactive. That according to a decision of the superior court of Washington, the sons of Chauncey L. Wood, the democratic candidate for governor last fall, who died there on the 16th are entitled to their father's body. The sous wished to bury then father in South Dakota, but were opposed by their stepmother who lives in Seattle, and the body has been for months in an undertaking shop at Seattle pending the court proceedings. Mrs. Wood will ap peal to the supreme court. That recent facts which have been called to the attention of the authorities make it appear certain that the stock inspection law passed by the last legislature is working hardships upon the people of small means who are coming into the state to take up homesteads. The strict enforcement of the law which requires that each animal be in spected by a veterinary, is causing much delay in the handling of stock and in some places is practi cally confiscatory. That a Kansas editor gave no tice that he would print and tell the truth for one week. He did not pass the first day and is still in the hospital. This is the truth he told in the first issue: "Married, Miss Sylvia Rhode to James Can naham, last Sunday evening at the Baptist church. The bride was an ordinary town girl who don't know any more than a rabbit about cooking and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means and has a gait like a duck. The groom is an up-to-date loafer, has been living off the old folks all his life, and don't amount to shucks no how. They will have a hard life while they live together." That recently the commercial club of Sioux Falls, together with Gov. Yessey and other prominent residents of the state, extended an invitation to Gov. Woodrow Wi son to include Sioux Falls and South Dakota in his western iti nery. An answer has been re ceived from Gov. Wilson's secre tary, in which it is stated that it will be impossible for the gover nor to come to Sioux Falls at present, but it is intimated that he will be glad to do so at some fu ture time. It is stated that Gov. W ilson was obliged to cut his schedule close and return as soon as possible to imperative engage ments in the east. Contractor and Builder.

D. hit (•'•est paid on time deposits at Stock (irowers State Bank. Eagle Butte Items. From The News. Town lot sales for Cheyenne Junction and Lantry are scheduled for May 24 and 25 respectively. These sales will undoubtedly at tract a large number of buyers but those who invest at Lantry should easily outnumber those who pin their faith to the Junction. Sunday forenoon a Bulgarian railroad laborer working with the Russel gang accidentally shot him self in the knee with a 45-caliber revolver. The accident happened in camp at Paradis siding and the injured man was taken to Di\ Cramer, the railroad company sur geon at Dupree, for treatment, af ter which he was taken to the hos pital at Aberdeen. Market day in Eagle Butte, last Saturday, was quite a success, a large crowd coming to town for the sale. Considerable property changed hands, and the horse mar ket was especially active, quite a number of work horses and ponies beitig put up and sold at fairly good prices. The next market day will be on the last Saturday in this month and from then on through the summer held on Saturday of every fourth week. Glen DeVorev who had charge of the Moreau hardware in this city until it was made ready for re moval to faith, has gone to Pol lock, on the east side of the Mis souri river near the state line where he will be general manager of a lumber yard and hardware store for the Moreau people. Glen is an upright young man and made hosts of friends during his residence here, all of whom wish him success in his new location. OLD PENNSYLVANIA' TAVERN Noted Hostelry Where Great Stage Coaches Put Up Half a Cen tury Ago. The old Stone house at the junc tion of the Franklin and Pittsburg pike with the Erie and Pittsburg pike is one of the noted historic spots in Butler, county. Half a cen tury ago the great stage coaches over these noted highways put up at the Stone house for the night. Buckwheat cakes, honey, countiy ham, sausage, Indian mush, dough nuts, roasted potatoes and mince pies formed the larger part of the menu at this noted hostelry. The building was erected in 1817 and is still occupied. It stands at the crossroads and is surrounded al most entirely by a dense forest. It was the first house built, possibly, on the thousand-acre tract of land taken up by the McClure family and i3 still in their name. There are many wild and weird stories connected with the famous house which the old people in the neighborhood tell, but they lack the clement which make them true his tory. However, it Is not too much to say that previous to the Civil war strangers were known to enter the old Stone house who were never again seen. These were in the days of counterfeiters, stage coach travel, open gambling and open barrooms. —Pittsburg Gazette-Times. THE FRESH A!H SCHOOLS American Citle3 Are Adopting Pla« for Tuberculosis Children Which Mas Worked Well in Germany. Fresh air schools, started and still conducted to care for tuberculous children, promise to have an impor tant influence upon the entire pub lic school system. They are still .new in America, having been in use in Providence two years, in Boston something more than a year and for shorter periods in Chicago, Pitts burg, Rochester and Ilarlford. They have been fully tried out in Ger many, where they have been varied into open air summer schools and forest schools. In no place where they have been tried have they been abandoned. In most places they are being extended. Thus far the schools have included only the phy sically weak and the mentally back ward. With plenty of fresh air and sanitary surroundings, these weak and defective children have been able to accomplish more than nor mal children in the ordinary schools. In some cases progress has been ex ceptionally rapid. While the minds develop as they never developed be fore, the bodies grow strong and children are given a chance ia life--* St, Paul Dispatch. r-'~ i» 9 in Timber Lake Hotel JUST OPENED Newly Furnished Rooms.
