ENGAGED IN SATAN'S WORK. A Woman Arrested for Leading Young Girls to Rnln. THK authorities of Montreal learned recently that a couple of women made a regular business of coming to Quebec and inducing girls to accompany them to Western cities, where they were forced or induced to lead lives ot shame. Chi­ cago, it was also learned, was the most profitable market for this business. A woman came to Montreal a week ago. and with her disappeared two girls of respect­ able parents. Toronto police have just, arrested the woman and the girls. The woman gave her name and ad­ dress as Miss Nettie G. Simon, Silver City. N. M...and said the girls were go­ ing to work for her in Chicago. A search of her pockets, however.' disclosed tho following documents written in French and signed by both girls: "1 consent and am willing to go to live at Chicago in a house of ill-fame, to make my liv­ ing as I have already made it." Neither of the girls can read or write, and both signed the paper, thinking it an agree­ ment to go to work. They will be re­ turned home and the woman will bo as a procuress. JACK THE RIPPER AGAIN. Terrible London Murderer Again at Work. THE "Jack the Ripper" scare has again caused a sensation among the police and the residents of the White- chapel locality in London. In a secluded part of that neighborhood passers-by were shocked by finding in an obscure alley the dead body of a woman whose head had been nearly severed .while her body showed evidences of kicks and bruises in themselves sufficient to cause death. While up to the present time no knowledge has been obtained as to who the victim was, it seems evident that she was a woman of low repute, and this was sufficient to stajt the cry that "Jack the Ripper" had been at work again. The policc actively began operations in a search for the mur.'c er, but thus far no arrests have been made. 1 # - t3 • OYT A Thonmnd Chinamen Kll>1.

M.. one day last week, three men were seen to st;'p on board. After the train had passed San Antonio these strangers entered the Puilmau sleeper and locked the doors, drew their guns on the porter and con­ ductor and relieved them of their sur­ plus cash, and introduced them­ selves to the passengers. going through most of them and making quite a haul. They jumped from the train on the Basque de Apache grant, taking to the hills. It is estimated that they got 91,500. The thing was <lor»Q so neatly and quietly that very few on the train knew what had happened. The robbers were dressed as cowboys with caps and mulllers. and had evidently tried to disguise themselves as much as possible. The otlicers of the road have offered a reward of ? 1.000 for their ar­ rest. THE dead and down pine on the Lac Court Oreilles,. the Lac du Flambea\i, and tho Bad River Indian reservations, in Wisconsin, will be sold Nov. 10. This timber amounts to about .">0.000,000 feet, worth to the Indians about 91.50 per 1,000. The proceeds are to be applied to the relief of the needy Indians on the reservations. Agent Leahy says that the Indians have sent two different lists of their selections of laud (eighty acres having been allotted to each Indian). It is likely that the confusion caused by this will prevent any of the Indians from working on their allotments until spring, in which case suff*ring is anticipated among the aged and children. TnE little town of Belle Plaine, Kan., is excited over the elopement of S. S Turley, professor of music, and Mrs. Clara Kain. wife of the minister of the Christian Church.

SOUTHERN INCIDENTS* GOVERNOR GORDON, of Georgia, has received from the Sheriff, of Coffee County, a call for troops to suppress a riot of negroes, in which four white men have been killed. F. M. Stokes, who runs a turpentine mill, has wired the Mayor of Wayeross, Ga., for fifty armed men. saying: "We are at the mercy of the negro mob. Four men have been killed. The negroes are being led in tho riot by a white man named L. B. Varna, who own a turpentine still." Stokes, Thomas Seers and a man named Vaiyia had been in a dispute about a tract of land. Varna put his men to work on the timber when Thomas Seers shot and killed one of the negroes and drove the others from the scene. The negroes, to have revenge on Seers, armed themselves and made an assault on the settlement, having the men entirely at their mercy. They shot down and killed B. E. McLendon, Frank Seers, and Thomas S(MTS, and mortally wounded a man named Hendricks. Twelve armed men have gone from McDonald's to the relief of the settlement. The whites all' around are turning oat, and the danger is that some hot-head may precipitate a conflict in which many lives will be lost. Mas.

SECRETAR* OF AoiucT7t.Trp.ie Husk stays that he Is receiving encouraging reports from Mr. J. H. Saunders, his special agent in Great Britain, relative to the removal of British restrictions upon tho importation of American live-stock. In a recent report to the Secretary Mr. Sanders incloses excerpts from British journals which give, amoug other things, the details of the embargo recently placed upon a shipment of Canadian cattle to Scotland. Tho Sec­ retary said that this English account of the incident confirms what ho has already contended--namely, the. diffi­ culty of depending absolutely upon a single diagnosis in order to detertuine whether symptoms of disease indicato the contagious or non-contagious pleuro­ pneumonia. The Secretary also said that he thought the action of the British authorities in the Dundee ease rather justified the inference that the re­ strictions imposed and maintained on American cattle by the Brit­ ish Government are due less to any spirit of unfriendliness which might lead to discriminations against tho j United States than to a positive fear lest I through any lack of their official vigi- i lance danger to British cattle might ' ensue, and this naturally leads him to the conclusion that comparatively little difficulty will be experienced in securing the removal of any restrictions discrim­ inating between American and Canadian cattle just as soon as the British authori­ ties can be thoroughly convinced of the immunity which American o-ttle now enjoy from contagious pleuro-pneumonia. FRESH AND N EWSY, . FORTY-ONE window-glass manufactur­ ers from different parts of the country met at Chicago and formed an organiza­ tion for the mutual protection of the glass interests. SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT, the Can­ adian statesman, discussing trade rela­ tions between Canada and the United States, declared that the policy of 'tlio Dominion Government in this matter had been vacillating and puerile. He dwelt upon the importance of the United States becoming the natural market for most of Canada's products and up­ braided the government for its derelic­ tion of duty in not making sufficient effort to bring about closer trade relations with this country. He quoted statistics setting forth that the United States furnished customers for fully one-half Canada's exports, lie held that the tendency of a protective tarifl was to the formation of rings and trusts for the purpose of increasing prices of goods to the consumer, and strongly pro­ nounced in favor of unrestricted reci­ procity with the United States. This, ho maintained, would be immensely advan­ tage >ns to the people of Canada as a whole, opening up to them the benefits of a population of 65.000,000. THE Post office Departmen t has to de­ cide a case near at home that is sup­ posed to come under the head of the anti-lottery act. The attention of the authorities has been called to an adver­ tisement published in the Washington Post in which a business house offers a prize to its juvenile customers who guess correctly the number of seeds in a pumpkin. Judge Tyner instructed the city postmaster to permit tho newspa­ per to go through the mail pending a decision covering this class of cases from Attorney General Miller. Similar cases are reported to the department every day from all parts of the country, but in many instances the postmasters con­ strue tho law for themselves, and have thrown out country weekly papers con­ taining premium lists for subscriptions. At one place last week about 5,000 church-fair tickets entitling a holder to a chance in a prize wero thrown out by the Ppstmaster. , : j A LETTER was' recently sent by Sena­ tor John It. McPherson,to a member 6f a prominent importing house in New York. This letter is likely to create a sensation in commercial circles all over the country. Following arc the more significant passages: I beg to call your attention to conference report and tariff bill sent you about ten days or two weeks ago--a quarto pamphlet of 125 pages. On page 175 you will find-- amendment 449 and Bee. 30--the reading matter relating to drawbacks on tobacco stricken out. Turning over to page 176, sixth lino from tho top, you will And the following: "Conforenco restores Sec. 30." Now, in the tariff bill you will find: "Pec. 30. That on and after the first day of January," etc., etc., ending with "six cents per pound." leaving all the rest of original Pec. HO out altogether. This omission Is fatal to the bill, and in tho opinion of eminent lawyers--Senator Carlisle among them--it vitiates the whole bill. It la an internal revenue section, but being part of the larlff bill passed it stands and falls together. If a host of most eminent authorities cited by the New York Herald a he cor­ rect, the merchants of New York and elsewhere, says that paper, may realize that they liavo been emancipated from the intended effects of the McKinley bill. The President, if the Senator is right, has signed a bill which never passed the two houses of Congress. The bill which did pass the two houses of Congress has not been signed by the President. Therefore the alleged bill under which the Government officials have begun to levy imposts since Oct. fi not having passed Congress, is not the law of the land. MARKET REPORTS. SALOONS WILL RESUME.

TELEGRAMS from Skibcrrcn, Conaty Cork, Ireland, state that a heartrending scena was witnessed at tho meeting of the Board of Guardians for the 1 or»r Law Union of Scliull. Believing that the guardians had power, as they ought to have, of relieving distress caused by the failure of the potato crop, a crowd of forlorn, ragged farmers and laborers, fome of them with their wives atjd chil­ dren, came into the town from Mizeniiead, Crookhaven and other remote seaboard districts. Not a few were half naked and all had a starved appearance. They besieged the board-room and to the ac­ companiment of sobs and wails told piti­ ful tales of their suffering. They were anxious to get work, and would prefer that to any other form of relief. The guardians told their wretched petitioners that the law did not permit the board to grant relief in the form demanded. THE British ship Fcarnaught, from St. John, N.

[Topeka (Kan.) dispatch.] The decision in the Rahrer liabeas-cor- pu» case, which is a test of the Wilson original package law, was filed by Judge Foster of the (Kansas) United State# i District Court and Judgo Phillips of the Western Missouri District. The decision makes the prohibitory law in Kansas inoperative so far as original packages are concerned, and many original package houses have al­ ready been opened for business in conse­ quence of it. Tn their argument the Judges say: "In brief, the contention of the State is that tho act of Congress enlarged tho scope and operation of the act of the State Legislature, making that which was a legitimate business one day a crime tho next, not under any law of Congress, but against the law of the State. Thero is nothing in the wording of tho act im­ plying that Congress assumed such a power or intended to givo such effect to this enactment. "At tho time Congress passed the Wil­ son bill it was well known and recog­ nized that tho Supromo Court had de­ cided that such a State prohibitory law was void in eo far as the dealer in im­ ported liquors in the original package was concerned. In other words, there was no law and could be no law in exist­ ence making such business a crime. It cannot be assumed that Congress desired to introduce into tho present police laws of the State an article or subject hitherto not included by those laws." Again they hold: "That it must be kept in mind that a legislative act in conflict with tho Con­ stitution is not only illegal or voidable but it Is Absolutely void. It is as if never enacted, and no subsequent change of the Constitution removing the re­ striction could validate it or breathe into it the breath of life." DKCISfOX IN AM IOWA CASK. The Prohibitory Statute Declared to Be Unconstitutional. [Cedar Rapids (Iowa) dispatch.] Judge John T. Stoneman, of the Su­ perior Court of this city, has rendered a decision in three liquor cases brought under tho Iowa prohibitory statute. The decision amounts to declaring tho Iowa statute unconstitutional and inoperative. During tho month of June, 1890, tho St. Louis brewing firm of Anheuser, Busch & Co. opened an agency in the town of Marion, Linn County, and ap­ pointed as their agent at that place Jos­ eph Coenen. Quantities of beer wore shipped and transported in quart bottles, sccurcly corked, sealed, and separately labeled, by railroad to plaintiff's general agent,' Williams, at Cedar Rapids, packed in boxes and barrels, which boxes and barrels were opened, and a portion of the bottles for­ warded to Agent Coenen at Marion in the same condition as when shipped from St. Louis. Ccenon sold the same with­ out uncorking or unfealing to customers who desired to purchase tlio same, either by single bottles or in other quantities. About this time II. H. Abrams, pastor of the Christian Church at Marion, be­ gan proceedings against Cocnan for vio­ lating the prohibitory law, claiming that the opening of the boxes or barrels at Cedar Rapids, in Which tho corked and sealed bottles were shipped, destroyed their character as original packages. Judge Stoneman in his opinion de­ clares the act of Congress known as the Wilson bill is not intended to be retro­ active in its effcct and does not rehabili­ tate ar»y statute that had beon previously declared unconstitutional and void by the United Supreme Court. It is simply permission to the several States in the future to legislate in the exercise of State police powers on a subject mat­ ter which, prior to tho act of Congress, the States had beon debarred by tho Constitution of the United States from dealing with. The supposed authority of Congress in tho foregoing legislation is claimed to be derived from this clause of the Constitution of the United Ltates: "Art. 1, Sec. 8. Tho Congress shall have power, among other things, to reg­ ulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States and with tho Indian tribes." It is suggested that Congress cannot assume any power not granted by the Constitution, nor can it abdicate to tho several States any power of legislation exclusively loaged in Congress by the Constitution, and it is insisted that un­ der the clause of tho Constitution above cited tho authority to regulate com­ merce with foreign nations, and among tho several States and with the In­ dian tribes is exclusively vested "in Con­ gress. If Congress has authority to delegate its powers to the State, then it may define the police power of the State so as to include control over any and all other subjects of foreign or do­ mestic commerce,and thus enable the sev­ eral States to surround their respective territories with a cordoa of impassable commercial walls. It was this very evil present under tho confederation which was sought to be obviated by the adop­ tion of the Constitution, and the doctrine does not seem consonant with reason that Congress now has power by permis- sivo legislation to enable the several States to defeat the very purpose of the Constitution. He therefore granted a perpetual in­ junction to restrain Abrams from insti­ tuting proceedings or interfering with the business of the plaintiiT selling liquors in original packages. The case was sub­ mitted to Judge Stoneman. Sept. 29, and has been in consideration since that time. HAPPY HUNTING GROUND. Tom Starr, m Notorious CHerokee Outlaw, hies a Natural Death--A Knowu List of Seventy r-ouls to Account For--A Ter- . tlble Oath or Revenge Carried Oat. Old Tom Starr, one of the most notori­ ous outlaws and depierados in the world, is dead. He died recently at his home near Webber's Falls, Indian Territory. Ho was once a terror to tho Cherokee Nation, but has been at peace with the world for over twenty years. He was perhaps the only man known to the world's history who made a solemn treaty of peace and amity with a sovereign na­ tion, which he did with the Chero­ kee Nation. It was estimated by the Cherokee Legislature in 1807, when discussing the proposition of peace, that he had killed about seventy men. At the breaking out of the war there were rewards aggregating $30,000 offered for his head. Excepting his brother-in-la iv, Bill West, whom Starr killed, he was the most powerful man in the Cherokee Nation. He was a full- blood Cherokee, and stood in his prime six feet and five inches in his moccasins. The origin of Tom Starr is somewhat merged in obscurity. He was born In Georgia, and that is all we know. In 1835 Tom came West with the Cherokees with his father. Starr's father was also a "bad man," and was killed by a sheriff's posse while resisting ar­ rest. He died in Tom's arms. Tom swore dire vengeance on tho posse, and after­ ward killed every man in it. This was the beginning of Tom Starr's careor. 0<*~had two brothers, Bean and Ellis, /who have long since gone to the happy hunting grounds "with their boots on." Old Tom had three sons, one1 of them bain* the husband of the late Belle Starr, TIIEY SCORE MRS. LESLIE MURDERED BY TRAMPS. TAKEN SEVERELY TO TASK &Y THE SOCIALISTS.

Woodman, who read au inter­ view with Mrs. Leslie which appeared in a recent interview of a local sheet, in which she is accredited with saying many harsh things about the socialists. Mrs. Woodman offeied a long resolution, of which the following is a sample: Resolved, That the gentle, tender-hearted representative of America's uppertetidom who h:is done Chicago, during the last week, the honor to visit it, and baa kindly con­ sented to enlighten the general public as to her views on the industrial situation and recommend a course of treatment warranted to cure in all cases for discontented workers of all nationalities, is hereby entitled to the thanks of this meeting, for voicing in so un­ mistakable a manner tho secret sentiment of the self-styled elite of our great cities in regard to tho working class3s and the grievances of which they complain.' Mrs. Woodman then made a long ad- dross, in the course of which sho said PBIGHTFOL .CRIME COMMITTER AT DESPLAINES, ILL. treated. It seems strange, ̂ does it not, that a woman's lips should utter such words as theso? Stranger still, that a woman's heart could beget tho thought. Even tho coarsest and most cruel men shrink a littlc^from the woman who ad­ vocates coarseness and cruelty, and they are right. From woman--the wife, mother, sister, daughter--one naturally expects gent'e thoughts and humane sentiments, and so to hear an expression which would do credit to the most illit­ erate and brutalized officer on Chicago's police force from tho Hps of one whose beauty and grace have become a house­ hold word in the UnKed States cannot fail to have called forth a faint shudder even from so callous an individual as a Chicago newspaper man.

[Desplaines (Ilf.) dispatch ] Michael Brazell, one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens of Desplaines, was brutally murdered by thieves shortly after 8 o'clock last night. The murder­ ers waylaid tho old man in his barn, crushed his skull wjtli a bhidgeon, and then robbed him. To get at his money and valuables they had to cut his pock­ ets, and when he was found by neigh bors his clothes were cut to shreds. His wife estimates that the robbers got at least $1,000 and several thousand dollars' worth of papers, as he was in the habit of carrying much money about his per­ son. Mr. Brazell went out to .milk his cows shortly after supper, and when he had finished the job he went into the barn, which is about a hlock from his house. He carried a lighted lantern in one hand and a pail of milk in the other. The three robbers wero wait­ ing for him. It is believed that they attacked him the moment he stepped over tho threshold, and tried to brain him with a: heavy piece of scantling which was subsequently found in tho barnyard covered with blood. That Brazell made a gallant fight for his life everything in the barn as well as the marks on his body would indicate. A A VERITABLE \CT0PIA.1 THE SCINTILLATIONS WE^JE;Bn DIAMpND. ^%\ "'Shoot them like dogs.' This is how k{"arV°^ Powerful physique and fearless, Mrs. Leslie would have the anarchists ought his assailants until, finally overcome, he sank to the floor nearly dead. His arms were torn and lacerated, his hands were covered with blood, his face and neck wero a mass of cuts and bruises, and several of his ribs wero broken. Even the walls tof the barn were bespattered with blood. The assault occurred at »time when tho streets were nearly deserted, and not until the murderers had secured their booty and were flying for safety did anybody hear the old man's feeblo cries for help. William Haben and his wife passed the barn just as the murder­ ers vaulted the fence. One of tho fol­ lows, who was bareheaded and whose face was covered with blood, collided w.th Mrs. Haben and sent her reeling into the gutter. Ho ran on without sayiiiT a word, leaving Haben to pick his- wife up. Tlio faces and hands of the other two men were also bloody. sweetness in this language! Has this woman no children? No; she is child­ less. Sho tells you so. 'I have no child's stocking to fill with candy and dolls Christmas morning.' There is a world of patho's in this thought. After all, with all her wealth of diamonds, she is to be pitied. Had she been a mother perchance she woftld have thought of the little children left fatherless, of the wives and riotliers bereft of their only support i&id left to struggle single- handed in consequence of that shame­ less and infamous execution Nov. 11, which Mrs. Leslie characterizes as 'a bravo and wise thing.' As a matter of fact, there arc few of Chicago's citizens who are not more worthy candidates for hanging than were those. "Mrs. Leslio shares the national an­ tipathy to untitled foreigners. Worth­ less, utterly worthless, morally, mentally and financially worthless foreigners are continually being shipped over here as husbands for American lioirosscs. Mrs. Leslie is right. They should bo sup­ pressed. The most stringent legislative enactments should be passed and rigidly enforced against their importation. O, but this is not the class of foreigners-- idle, dissipated and impecunious noble­ men--that JMr3. Leslie and her upper- tendom friends object to. The more worthless the more welcome, provided they corac fVom the aristocracy. But the class of workingmen, American or foreign-born -- Jt matters not -- which asks questions, which claims rights, which reads, studios, thinks and agitates, which insists that socicty should exist for the producer and not the producers for tlio society, which declares that •labor creates all wealth and is entitled to what it creates; that millionaires are a monstrosity and capitalists a curse.' Ah, this is the objectionable class in the estimation of the Leslies. " 'It is a great nation, this/ sighed Mrs. Leslie, 'and will be greater when theso social questions are settled.' They will bo settled according to Mrs. Leslie, and that 'by force.' There is just one point which tho lady has ap­ parently overlooked. It is that th « peo­ ple themselves will bo apt to taky'a hand* in tho settling. 'Yes, 'strikes must'be suppressed by law and the strikers be suppressed by force,' she says. Hcrr Most could scarcely have delivered himself of more incendiary language than thit employed by this cultivated beauty and. pet of fashion-- Mrs. Frank Leslie. Imagine it; no Judge, no jury, no court, but lot every man, woman, and child rush throush the streets armed with a revolver, ready to shoot at any suspected anarchists or other discontented person. If this be not anarchy, what is it? But only the better classes,' as Mrs. Leslie calls them, may indulge in the luxury of rec­ ommending this particular l^ind of an­ archy. "The ' better classes'--Now York's better classes! Well, you heard some account of their performances at a cer­ tain big ball held in that city a little while ago. It is a pity that these refined, cultured, high-bred, blue-blooded, alto­ gether superior beings, only a little lower than the angels, should have been com­ pelled to endure any discomforts when they wished to travel, merely that a few thousand commonplace, insignificant, oveVy-day plebeian creaturus like our­ selves should have a few more of the necessaries and comforts of life. "Mrs. Leslie at least runs things this way, if her statements are to be taken at their par value. 'Do you know your own typesetters"' asked the reporter. ' Every one of them; they all touch their hats to me.' Think of this! Isn't it re­ markable? Every man who knows enough to go in the house when it rains will touch his hat to a woman, be she washerwom­ an or duchess. Tho homage is to the sex, not to tho individual, but Mrs. Leslie does not seem to bo aware of this. And I believe they would all die for me, says she. Well, either Mrs. Leslie's organ of credulity is abnormally developed or there must be 400 people in that city who have very little interest in living. Possibly Mrs. Leslie makes life such a 'demnition grind' to them, that it's tho toss of a penny to most of them whether they live or die, with the odds, if any, decidedly in favor of tho latter alterna­ tive. "In conclusion, we would liko to give tho Mrs. Leslies ,one little word of friendly warning and admonition. It Is contained in tho old proverb, 'Better let sleeping dogs lie,' more especially when they are suspected of being mad and there are a good many of them. Fur­ thermore, it is unwise, to say the least, to invite the attack of an enemy whose real strength you are not in a position to ascertain." Pleanant Paragraphs.

A BLUEBERRY factory at Cherryfield, Me., has canue4 hwahoito, berries this season. them, but ho was arrested by a feeblo cry of "murder," which seemed to come from Brazell's barn. He listened, and again hoard the cry more indistinct than before. Thoroughly frightened and confused ho ran to Wicke's saloon, and told Wicko what he had seen and heard. Tho two m«i ran back to Brazell's place and entered the barn. Lying on tho floor, his face covered with blood, which was flowing from a score of wounds, was Iirazell. He recognizod Haben and Wickos, and in a faint voice exclaimed: "I've ooen murdered; I'm dying." The two men bent over the injured man, who made one or two vain efforts to talk and then died with his battered head resting in Haben's arms. After covering the body with some bags Haben and Wicko ran out and gave the alarm to Brazell's neighbors. In a few min­ utes a hundred men armed with shot­ guns and revolvers were scouring tho country in search of the murderers. Every nook and glen, every strip of woodland was searched, but the follows had left no trail. Word was sent to tho police department in the city for detec­ tives, and half a dozen were dispatched from the Central Station to help in the man-hunt, but they arrived at Desplaines too late to do any good. The only thing tho murderers left behind that will serve to identify them was a hat. It was an ordinary Derby hat, in fair condition be­ yond the battering it received from old man Brazell's blows. When tho men were last scon, about 11 o'clock, near Norwood, ono of them was described as hatless. Tho fact was reported by two farmers who wero driv­ ing in from the city, who said tho trio was walking along tho road in tho direc­ tion of the city, and tliey seemed to bo anxious to conceal their identity. Word was at once sent to the police station at Jefferson to send out men to meet them if possible. Along the line of the North­ western at every station between Des­ plaines and Chicago officers were search­ ing freight cars as fast as the arrived, and everybody who could not give an ac­ count of himself was promptly taken in and locked up at Montrose. Four men were taken from one train that passed through Desplaines. The men wero traveling in pairs, and had between them over $100. This, coupled with the fact that they were stealing a ride, gave the officers some hope that they had caught the right men. The three murderers are known by sight to half a dozen persons in Desplaines. They spent Tuesday night in the railroad sta­ tion and yesterday sat in Wicke's saloon drinking and playing cards. Last even­ ing, just before 6 o'clock, one of them entered the saloon with an empty whisky bottle and asked Wicko to fill it. Tho fellow was apparently under the influ­ ence of liquor and tho saloon-keepor told him he could not have any more. The same whisky bottle was afterward found in Brazell's barn near the battered hat. That the trio came to Desplaines for tho express purpose of robbing old man Brazell is generally admitted. It has been known among the man's neighbors for years that he was in the habit of car­ rying big sums of money, and though ho has been warned repeatedly against tho habit he persisted in doing so. At times he was known to have $1,500 in cash in his pockets. Only a week ago he cashed a check for a friend, paying him $400 in gold. He did an extensive loan business With the farmers, and always carried from one to twenty notes for sums ranging from $100 tj $1,000. When he was searched by the police no trace of a note could bo found. Men who knew him well say that the exact amount the murderers got will probably never be known The old man, while conceded to be wealthy had no bank accounts. He abhorred banks. Ho believed they wore institutions run for the purpose of de­ frauding people, and always considered his own pocket a safer repository than tho steel vaults of the modern bank. Stray Bits of News.

Huron is a delightful city ol 3,1C0 in­ habitants. located exactly in the center or tho State, north and south, and fifty miles east of the center, cast and west, omitting the permanent Indian reservations. Situ­ ated oil the main line of the C. & N. V., tbi: city is surrounded with a rich farming ooun-L try, which since its earliest settlement has- produced abundant crops. The new system of artesian irrigation, by means of artesian wells, lias proven so eminently successful*: • that it is safe to predict for the whole Jlav River Valley hiost brilliant results in the neir future. A pleasant walk about Huron disclose* S53 business houses, supplied with large stocks of goods: four natl inul bunks, twi> of which are United States de< o '.SWi^s; two insurance companies; seven ciiu two excellent, graded schools, well c^ui^ped. with all of the modern educational fa^ili^- ties. and provided with one of tho. most efficient school superintendents in the Wo it. ably assisted by a well-trained corps of teachers; a handsome Court House, erected at a cost ot $00,000. Ten hotels add to the comfort of the visitor, Arid a new four-story brick hotel, cost­ ing $75,000, is now nearly completed, and will be the Eiost elegantly furnished in this section of the country. Iler well-paved streets, electric illumination for streets and houses, and street railway system attest the enterprise of the citizens of Huron. Tim ex- c*llcnt flro and police departments afford protection to the citizens and their 'niereats. In addition to the above, two flourln; mills, a creamery, brick yard, bottling works, the depot of supplies for South Dakota of thfc Consolidated Oil Tank Line Cjmpany, and the Northwestern machine shops nr.; situ­ ated here. All the professions arj weil and. ably represented, and she has, without doubt, the finest brass band in the State. The following newspapers, with very flat­ tering circulations, are published here; The- dally and weekly Huronitc, tho RuralM (offi­ cial organ of the Alliance for both North and South Dakota), daily and weekly Timet, weekly Ifcrall-Democrat, '."eekly Independent, and Dakota Farmer. The s x»Ial advantages are unsurpassed in the West. The follow­ ing organizations are represented and have l»igu memberships: A.. F. & A. M.; It. A. M., I. O. O. F.. I. O. O. F. Encampment, K. of P., U. A. K.. Modern Order of Woodmen. W. R. c.. w: C. T. I\, A. O. U. \V„ and a number of other kindred societies. Tho United States Land Offlc3. Surveyor Gen­ eral's Office, United States Signal Office, and the office of tho Agricultural Vtatiuti- cian for both North And South Dakota, a* well as the State Engineer of irrigation, are also located here. The health of the city is excellent, the surrounding countcy-- being especially adapted to a continuance of vigorous health--malarial fever and ague being absolutely unknown. The city watjr is supplied by a six-inch artesian well sunk 80:1 feet This well ha^ a pressure of 175 pounds to tho square inch, furnishing power for nil the printing press­ es, laundry machinery, fire department purposes, and the water from this well Is one of tho most palatable beverages to bo obtained in Dakota. This well flows l,50«> gallons per minute, and throws water more- than three times the height of the highest buildings. A nutnber of other wells are- n nv being sunk for power purposes. The above summary of the social, re­ ligious. educational and commercial ad­ vantages of the city of Huron, S. D., is very remarkable when wo take into considera­ tion that but ten years have elapsed since- its founding in 1880. Her citizens are nj'on of unusual enterprise, typical We-tternersS. and visitors are accorded a degree of hos-' pltality practically unknown in Eastern communities. I wish to correct a faiso Im­ pression conveyed through tho modi-- unishlp of the press regarding boutb.' Dakota's agricultural prospects, anti especially of the section immediately adjoining the city of Huron. Wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye. millet, ilax, small ftults and root crops can be and are raised In abundance. No better specimens through­ out the West have been presented at any of the State fairs, than those exhibited at- the State Fair at Aberdeen. The new sys­ tem of irrigation has opened a wide liold in . South Dakota. Her bright prospects ara unlimited in point of agriculture and .man­ ufactures, and the advent of the artesian wells which stud the valley of tho Jim River from end to end will* la­ the near future make South Dakota one> of the most productive Western States. The "Harrison-Day" well, which was sunk last spring, supplies immense volumas,of water for irrigating purposes. The water from this well is absolutely clear and freo- from sand and dirt. The water is 68 degrees Fahrenheit, and in the coldest weather will not freeze in the ditches in running one- lialf mile Tin artesian well as a source c;f water for irrigating purposes is a much cheaper method of irrigating than any known in the world; The depth of this well Is 847 foot, size, four inches, inside meas­ urement. This well Is located on the highest part of the land, and by ditches run in every direc­ tion it can easily irrigate 1.000 acres. Ex­ periments have proven highly satisfactory, and have demonstrated that hot weather and winds' do not in any possible manner affect the irrigated crops. Exceptionally situated is Huron, helncr easily accessible by rail to at least of the Wti.OOO inhabitants of tho State of So'uth Dakota, and abundantly provided with natural and other advantages unsur­ passed in the Westorn country, the county- seat of lleadle County--one of the largest counties in tike State--a thriving railroad center, through wlii( h two lines of the i!. &• N.

And here nearly all conventions are held. Huron affords many beautiful and attract­ ive sites for a handsome capitol building. Every lot in Huron is so situated tiiati it can be built on. The drift of public senti­ ment, as gathered by me, a disinterested party traveling through the State, forces mo to the conclusion that this city will lx£» so chosen as the permanent capital at the coming election, Nov., 4, by a handsome ; majority.
