The usual numberof norma! school
bills are bobbing up in the legisla
ture, among them several to unload
empty buildings upon the state.

Democracy is casting about already
for a prospective candidate for presi
dent for 1904, and the name of
Pettigrew of South Dakota lias been
^ suggested among others If de
mocracy has no better timber than
this, their crushing defeat of 1900
will be made perpetual.
The first bills to pass the House
were as usual the 'wo expense bills,
. appropriating $S5,0Q0 to pay mem
bers salaries, and milage, and $30,
000 to pay incidental expenses of
the session. As usual they went
through without a contest in tiie
House, and the senate received them
wiih open arms.
One of itii: curly bills to be intr< -
duced in the House was one provid
ing for the payment of the premium
on the state treasurer’s bond. Two
years ago the same kind of a propo
sition was before the session, and in
the course of its consideration the
treasurer was asked where In* hud
the permanent school fund deposited,
and how much interest he was rt -
c ivitig from that source He refused
to answer these questions, and the
bill properly failed. It is believed
that in the four years of tiis term
Meserve derived from Jlli.Otto to
$20,000 from these deposits, and
this being the case, the payment of
^ the bond premium was no burden
In case Treasurer Steufur informs
the public of the location of this
fund, and reports the interest re
ceived and pays it into the treason,
then the payment of the premium
for his official bond will lie conceded
to be proper, otherwise it should be
refused.
George E. Roberts, director of the
mint in his annual repoit. shows
that the coinage of the past year
was iu excess of that executed in
any previous year in the history of
the service, aggregating $141,351,
960, as compared with $ 136.855,676
in the last fiscal year. The value of
the gold coinage was slightly below
that of the previous year, being
$107,937,110, as compared with
#10*, 177,180 The coinage of silver
dollars was $18,244,984, as compar
ed with #18,254,708 in the previous
year. The chief increase was in the
output of subsidiary and minor coins,
| which surpassed all records, and, it
is stated, may doubtless be attribut
ed to the extraordinary activity of
retail trade throughout the country.
The total deposits of gold were not
so great as in ihe previous year, the
imports of bullion showing a decline,
but the deposits of domestic bullion
again surpassed all records, amount
ing to #87,458,836, against $76, 252,
487 last year The seigniorage on
the coinage of silver dollars, sub
sidiary and minor coins during the
year amounted to $10,286,302.

H. S. UuDgt’l and (.’lan-nce Wilson
who har e been cutting ice on a lake
snath of town, reported that during
the cold snap last week they had
marked out and cut the ice. with a
large saw, from the surface of the
lake and that the water had again
fri zr, after the first crop of ice was
removed, and that the second crop
showed (lie markings of the saw as
it passed through the water in cul
ling itic first so plainly that it was
not necessary to mark the new ice
to cut it. Of course we ask them
what, they took us for, and they in
formed us that if we would crawl
into their buggy tbev would convince
our skepticism. We accepted the
proposition, and wt desire it under

Wednesday evening about 9:30,
during the high wind, Mrs I? wmun

HATS ON OR OFF?
Or.c Respect In \\ liicli Northern and
Southern Men Differ,
Ac or ling to the etiquette of the day,
if is not requisite that a man shall re
move his hat iti the presence of a wom
an in a public thoroughfare or convey
ance, Nobody thinks of a man's going
bareheaded in a street ear or a railroad
car or a cab because he is in the com
pany of women. The elevator of a
business building oc of a hotel is cer
tainly a public conveyance, and the
corridor of a business building or hotel
Is is rtaiuly a public thoroughfare. Er
go, in our opinion, courtesy toward the
fair sex does not require a man to re
nui' O his hat In either place because
there happens lo be a woman present.
Having said, however, that courtesy
docs not require the removal of a man’s
hat under the circumstances recounted,
we di> not mean to disparage in the
slight' st degree the chivalrous intent
of tin* man wlio does remove his head
covering. If you feel that you ought
to take off your hat in nu elevator, do
so. If you are uncomfortable with it
on, get it off at once. These things are
largely matters of comfort. In New
York men keep their hats on with a
persistence that is somewhat shocking
to the southerner.
If the man in Gotham lias any doubt
about whether lie should have his hat
In his hand or on ids head, you will not
find it in ids hand. 11c takes as much
rope as the law will give 1dm. On the
contrary, it lias not been very long
since It was the proper thing in
Charleston for a gentleman to stand
with Ids head uncovered during all the
time he was conversing with a lady
even if he met her in the street, and
there may be, for all we know, hun
dreds of stately South Carolinians who
observe that pretty hut unhygienic cus
tom to this very day. Virginia, it will
he observed, is about half way between
Charleston and New Y’ork. — Norfolk

KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
The Little Boy Was Thoroughly
l’onted on the Elevator.
“Little exclaimed the portly
lady, “you ought to be at school in
stead of trying to work a lift.”
"I'm not trying to work it,” was the
answer; “I'm working it, and if you
wish to ride I shall be happy to ac
commodate you. So far as any obliga
tion to be at school is concerned, allow
me to remind you that this is a legal
holiday, and 1 am exempt from at
tendance at an institution where, I am
pleased to say, I am at the head of my
class.”
“You have no business trying to
work that lift, anyhow.”
“For what reason?”
“Because you are too young to know
anything about it.”
"Madam, allow’ me to reassure you.
This lift is worked by hydraulic pres
sure, the principle relied on being that
water exerts pressure in proportion
to the height of a column rather than
in proportion to the diameter. In mak
ing use of this characteristic water it
admitted into a cylinder, the pressure
being regulated by the use of valves
and a stable equilibrium being made
po - able by an ingenious system of
counterpoises. 1 could go further into
the miuutue of this particular machine,
which of course has its variations
from other models,” he added as she
gasped in astonishment, “but I doubt
if you could follow the technical terms
whose use an accurate description
would necessitate, but I wish to assure
you that if, after what I have said,
you think you know more about this
lift than I do, you are at perfect lib
erty to step in and take its manage
ment out of my •hands.”—rearson’s.
Went Around the Spot.
Before Bismarck reconstructed the
map of Europe and made, a united
(Jermany a dozen little principalities
used to annoy travelers by stopping
them at their frontiers until they had
satisfied the custom house demands.
A Yankee once had his carriage stop
ped at the frontier of a petty prince’s
country. The Herr Ober (controleur at
the custom house) came forward and,
much to Ills indignation, was received
In a nonchalant way. The Y’ankee was
uugeutlemanly enough not to get out
of his carriage or even to take off his
hat. The Herr Ober sharply demand
ed the key of the tourist’s trunks,
which his subordinate began handling
roughly.
“Hare! Hands off!” shouted the
Y'ankee. “I didn’t come from the
United States of America to be con
trolled by you. Put those trunks back.
I’ll not go through you at all. I’ll turn
hack. I’m in no hurry and don’t eare
for losing a day. You’re no country.
You’re only a spot. Pll go around
you.” And he did.—London King.
A U n> Oat of It.
It was a man who opened the door
when the book agent rang the bell, but
a woman stood not far behind him,
and subsequent developments Indicated
there had been a few warm words.
”1 would like to talk to the lady of
the house for a few minutes,” said the
book agent.
“Oh, that Is utterly impossible,” re
plied the man pleasantly. “Y’ou may
see her if you wish, but you can’t talk
to her for a few minutes—that is, in suc
cession— unless"—as a happy thought
seemed to strike him—“you both talk
at once.”—Chicago News.
He Coanted All Right.
“You’ve been in a tight,” said his
mother reprovingly.
“Oh. not much of a one,” answered
the boy.
“Did you count 100, as I told you,
when you felt your angry passions ris
ing?"
"t>h. sure.” returned the boy. "1
i counted 1<to all right, but I knocked
i the other boy down lirst. It’s the only
safe way.”—Chicago Post.
