Fourth there was no UNE of The weekly was issued yesterday out contained nothing except a brief notice of the that had not before appeared iu the The President has appointed General VV G commissioner of ture The appointment is a good one General LeDuc is well informed and has taken an active interest in agriculture for many years and best of all he a firm believer m the West and will labor to develop its resources General Hazen The President has detailed this officer and gentleman to go to Europe to as an attache of American legation at Vienna the ry operations of the opposing armies in Europe General Hazen is as well ed to this work as any officer in the army and will probably appreciate the ment paid him as much any other Malls to Deadwood Mail to Dead wood will go by three routes only so soon as the present con- tracts expire which is within a short time Awards have just been made as From Sidney 270 miles six times a week and back to S P Wheeler at per year from Bismarck 250 miles three times a week and back to the Northwestern Stage and Express tiy and per year from Hat Creek Wyoming present terminus of existing regular mail route from Cheyenne to posts northward 121 miles seven times a week and back to A H Brown of Washington D at per an- num The service on the other three routes from Fort Pierre Kearney and Paddock will be discontinued at the ex- of the existing City Journal The above is correct except that the distance from Bismarck to Deadwood is forty miles less than that given tion should also be called to the fact that the distance front Chenne to Hat Creek is 180 miles which added to the distance from Hat Creek to Deadwood makes 301 miles Thus it will tie seen that marck is sixty miles the Hills than Sydney and ninety-one miles nearer than Cheyenne and this explains the fact in part why the Bismarck coaches beat the time made by coaches on the other lines by fours hours by day only while the others run night and route as they now confess that the tract for carrying the mails was taker ruinously low rates in he sping delays were caused by high wat r and tak giv n a very honorable course the news even verse to its locality but the dore its own town all the injury possible by misrepresenting the ernor and others who for Yankton and therefore its the TRIBUNE for stating a now z fac did not surprise us Another Big Stock Cahn of Ev reo Led Asa Fisher's new wil put in an immens The Fort Pierre Route The TRIBUNE was well informed when it stated that mail service had been dis- continued on the Fort Pierre route though the statement called for a personal attack upon the editor of the TRIBUNE from the Yankton Herald The Press and tian however writes up the question as follows under the head of Mail Service By a private letter from Washington we are In- formed that tbe post office department has declined let the mall contract from Pierre to Deadwood on the ground that the mail matter between Yankton Deadwood via Pierre is too long a time in transit It also declines to put on service over the Paddock route Thus by the hostility of Assistant Postmaster Brady we are to be deprived of that which was gamed only after the most urgent by a people whose interests are as important as the of those who reside along the two Pacific railroad foutes This action of the is taken it had the opportunity under circumstances to offer a plausible excuse K r operating pi behalf of the influential corporations and south of GS It la true that the malls lime been very delayed over the routes lead- ing from Yankton to Pierre and from Pierre to the Hills latterly particularly on the first named This lias been by a of c which could not be pre at that me were being carried it ruinously low rates werk was

intimates that officers of the government have in this instance from moti but the fact is the department gathered information from every source and finally sent a special agent over ach of the routes on which proposals for were invited and the ernm emt finally acte t probably was found] thit the two routes gave the at large of the mail facilities required or de- sired and in shorter leaving only

the Benton to the reputation of l icing the fastest steamer on the Upper and the skillful has principally enabled her to make this enviable addition to her ord reflects great credit upon her cap- tain and subordinate officers The teamer was aot loaded for a flying trip She carried one of the heaviest cargoes of the season Her freight with passengers and baggage added would weigh at least three hundred I ons and the river being very high She had a strong current to contend against she also encountered tbe usual number of delays having to work over rapids and lay up to cut wood All things considered it is no exaggeration to say that the steamer Benton is the fastest one of the staunchest and best bandied boats on the Missouri river The Big Horn is also making good time made the trip

the school i house should be built Of these every citizen who feels an interest in the town and every rent who values the welfare of his child undoubtedly has a full tion I shall merely consider tbe question of tow it is to be done In all the long series of efforts looking to the of this there have been two obstacles to en- counter The first abd most ble was lack of funds and the second was found in the apathy stupidity or of the ple that has thus fur barred all or intelligent Action The first of these is now happily overcome Thanks to tbe of the territory ion has been made for a fund sufficient to meet the outlay tax receipts I believe do not more than cover the current expenses o there is a clause i which I should like t interpretation It r Sec 54 The com collect all moneys d purposes or from iht he shall pay tbe the school but i the school law ol have a judicial Is as jty Treasurer shall the county foi triet of ane ale to the said dis- treasurer as provided by this act Now I am Ignorant of law but I da claim to have a thorough understanding of the English language hence if law means what it siys then is out school largely a gainer from these sources But having once upon a rainy day read the whole jof that inspiring volume The Revised Statutes of I was painfully impressed with the belief that many of those sternly worded usury instan like a novel writer's scenery merely to I erd law and th put in description of 11 and it isj bat this canon of more than probable school law comes witl tin the same cate gory and like be more the breach than by the ance 1 But leaVing that q to the carej af tbe legal fraterni y I shall briefly jive my views as to tie kind of school we Tie Legislature ing wisely provided that this shall be of brick there remains ing to be said upon tl question of its size rangements are yet to statement of the wa meats of the school will form the criterion by w these There are already i marck upwards of one of school age eighty attendance upon population is joth by Hence our school hou lie enough to at point but tbe and interior be decided ts and ich to judge of the town of hundred children f are in public school ra idly increasing anq otherwise must be large e not only those increasing already here but a number Two rooms at the least are ab- necessary As I in a previous article the he school imperative y demands that it should be graded and the pupils I classified to their age and acquirements Two ments arej and a Union school ments including A dispatch received from Lewiston an wnich was passed dated 2 Col Whipple and ghf In time we can four depar these twok with the of tas in hool m which of carl be so arranged made so perfect that pupi s age iof sixteen frori the high school will be anji high B he and the discipline ted to ent er tax-payer planning have stated interest of s in the land or he to enter at ubon of life r Now foil up eyes oh say that I extravagance For a piece to pay for Far fiom it i re an foi the present house with two rooms will commodate the two schools which I have shown to be absolutely necessary and the building jean be fco arranged that w ten the numbers and acquirements of tie pupils demand it an addition for tic two additional rooms can be made w thout marring the convenience or symmetry of the edifice The profession of the teacher is second in dignity abd importance not the ministry and in this progressive age it has kept pace with the progress of the century Old forms and ulas have pi ssed away new tetos and fn proved methods have bee n introduced The old system of pi as lickin and larnin and licking has given place to a tle rale and an enlightened method appeals to tbe intellect awakens th s self-respect and stimulates the er faculties of the youthful mind be looves us then to secure the best ta ent in this respect Not only in kota but throughout the entire west is there a lack of trained and But a good school need cost no more than a poor one and we should noi employ a novice nor an in- person to teach our aby more than we would hire a black smith or a carpenter's apprentice to build our houses True a wise economy should be everywhere observed yet the old rule which every housewife recognizes that the best is the cheapest in the is as] applicable to the school as it is to all other things Hence our school as at present man- aged eighty children crowded in one unsuitable room under charge of one teacher is in my opinion a sheer waste of tbe children's time the teacher's talent and the people's money Most of our children are sent to school too young but after a child has reached the age of ten years every day not spent in the acquisition of some useful knowledge is a day lost How important then that in the years habits and dispositions are crystalizing into character they should be ed with the best Influences I cannot but reiterate my belief that it is the idle hands that find the mischief Give the children plenty to do Furnish them food their mental faculties and em- ployment for their bodily energies let them find Lard study and judicious at school and home be given work suitable to their age and strength and sweetly tempered with kind words and the race of of whom we used to hear so much but which is fast decreasing will soon disappear wholly from the land Give dog a bad name and kill is an adage as true as it is old In the samo way give a child a bad name punish hint at and scold him at home magnify his childish faults and mistakes iato crimes and impute to him always ignoble motives and base intentions and if he does not soon come to deserve bis originally undeserved bad name it will be because ha is of an angelic and not ot the earth earthy How earnestly then and for the sake of these dear little ones whom a few brief years will make or mar would I entreat you that now in their early plastic years they be given every faciN ity for improvement in mind and dis- position There remains but one question more to be decided and that is where shall this school house be built The school law has provided that the place shall be selected by a vote of the people as 20 The inhabitants qualified to vote at ft school district meeting lawfully assembled shall have power 4 To designate by vote a site for a district school house It is also enjoined that tbe school house shall be located as nearly as sible in the Center of the district In a town like Ours this will be a difficult point to determine as what is now the suburbs may become the center in a year or two but every good citizen as in duty bound believes that the town is coming his and will strive to secure it to his own locality Now we ample around the ing so as to ensure quiet and plenty of fresh air a id sunshine and I would tha t there is an enclosure be- longing I believe to Mr Nichols in the of Sir Shaw's residence which if it could be obtained would be a ble location Of course only make this suggestion in the interest of my own prospective little pupils and it is to be expected that half the people of the town at once me up bodily to oppose Like a stick thrust int a hornet's nest it will ple to for their own cations I do not care where the is built I only Want to see it rising above tbe ground where l And this is dona when the installment of our Union school is ed and then the object for which I striven so long shall have been and I shall ask resign the Superintendency an which much ill will and no li oi a vacant office does not our people to go to work the is indeed hopeless LINDA W
