MR.. HooFsTETLER's CRITICISMS

10 WRk6 uOte VI Oh sssoSN ~POA
the newspapers and business men OF Yank'
ton by Mr.. Hoofstetler, temperance re-
former, in the presence of q large audience,
at the Congregational church, last evening.
We regret this because it compels US to in
dulge in some structures against the repre-
sentative of q cause which has our heartiest
sympathy, and because We fear that in en-
tering IDOL a defence against an uncalled
for reproof, our remarks may be miscon'
strued as an unfriendly reflection upon the
object which morality and respectability is
striving to attain. Therefore we desire to
state in the outset that our motive is simply
to deal with an unkind criticism, from the
standpoint of one who has been misrepre-
sented in so public q manner that to pass it
by unheeded would be virtual admission of
its truthfulness. Mr.. BOOKSELLERS CON-
plant was that the newspapers Of Yankton
did not give sufficient space to their &C.
counts Of bis doings as q Temperance work.
er, and to this he added the assertion that
not only the newspapers, but the business
men o. the city, were controlled by saloor
influence and dared not openly espouse tht
cause for which be was labo1ing. THIS is
rather q bold charge 10 come from a stran'
ger who has been only a few days in our
midst and who was cordially received and
is lavishly paid BY representatives o.
the press and the other business men o
Yankton. 1t is possible that in the list o
human sins there may be found one evel
! worse than intemperance. If such ex
I lists. that one is inSrattude. In view o
The fact that the press of our city hss
gratuitously recognized Mr.. Hoofstetler a
alaborer worthy Of bis hire. it is a deplor
able exhibition Of poor taste on his part Il
chide bis friends because they have don,
no more. His mission is that OF q protes
sional reformer. Temperance work is hi
vocation. By the employment of his tai
ents in this direction he is enabled to earl
probably one hundred dollars per week
This is good pay. Our mission at presen
is to run q newspaper. Out of it we d,
not make anywhere near the profit whicl
Mr.. Hoofstetler receives for his labors. w
cannot therefore concede' to him
as q business proposition, the bene6
Of an unlimited and unpaid for use of on
columns to foist him into a notoriety which
will bring added profit in the next tow,
which employs his services. To the TEN

Two Fires Yesterday Morning.

Shortly before O'Clock yester-
day morning a fire broke out in a
house in Sonoratown, near the
French Hospital, owned by A. Pc.
lanconi. The Thirty Flights, the
only engine company on duty, re-
sponded promptly, but were unable
TO save the building. The fremen
had hardly returned to their en-.
CINE house before a second alarm
was sounded, this time caused by a
fire breaking out in the building
occupied by Henry Baer as a poul-
try market and Wyman & James
as an oil store. Notwithstanding
the inflam mable character of the
contents of the building, the fire.
men succeeded in combining the
flames to the building in which
the fire started. Messrs. Wyman
& James had in their store about
four or five hundred gallons of oil.
II was all of high proof, and there
fore did not make anything like
the explosion or contlagration that
would have resulted if it had been
of lower grade. This firm was in
sured on fixtures and stock in the
Fireman's Fund, Drakenfeld agent,
for 5000; loss total. Henry Baer,
who occupied part of the
same premises for a poultry
and vegetable market was insured
| for 5000 in the same company.
Both fires are undoubtedly the
work of incendiaries, as the Pelan-
conf house was unoccupied and no
fire had been about the premises
of the Messrs Baer and Wyman &
| James.

ESCAPE AND REcAPrURE.
Three Prisoners Escape from Jail-TwO are
Rseaptursd.

On Tuesday morning last John
Allen, John Smith and another
prisoner, whose name we did not
learn, sentenced to the chain gang
for petty Offences, escaped from
Jail. Jailor Thompson who opens
the prison every morning at six
o'clock, had started back to get
breakfast for the prisoners, when
his attention was attracted by hear
ing noise at the back fence, and
on looking around he saw the last
of the trio scrambling over. He
rushed for his gun, but was too late
to prevent their getting away.
Search for the fugitives was at once
instituted, and about two hours
after the escape he was informed
that two of the party had been seen
on the Wilmington road. He at
once telegraphed to Deputy Sheriff
beavers, at Wilmington, to keep a
lookout, and on Wednesday morn
ing that officer captured Smith and
Allen, whom he placed in car in
charge of Mr.. Savage to bring to
this city. AS soon as he left the car
Smith walked deliberately out and
when commanded to stop by Saw
age, started on a run. Savage fol-
lowed aud fired three or four shots,
but without hitting or Impeding
the speed of the runaway. The fir.
ing attracted the attention of some
trackmen who captured and re-
stored him to custody, when the
two were brought to this city and
turned over to the jailor. The
third prisoner has DOT yet been
heard from. Both prisoners were
supplied with new shoes which
they had procured In some way
after their escape.
An examination of the Jail re.
vealed the fact that Smith, who
was ironed, had procured a file,
probably from a friend on the out
side, with which he had taken off
his irons. The party then tore out
the water closet, but failing to es.
cape by this means, they effected
an entrance into the "drunk" cell,
the lock of which is defective. By
means of some pieces of wire they
picked the lock and watching their
opportunity when Mr.. Thompson
started back to the house after
opening the Jail, escaped by scaling
the fence.

There is no nobler office in the
world than to nobly, honestly, pure
ly entertain the people. To be
amused is to take the bitter drop OF
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
of care and furnishes a medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in
nocently is IA thing of which the
proudest might be proud. The en-
tertainment which can win the
elevated and the noble to smile de-
serves the respect and gratitude OF
every person; to make people
laugh; to carry them out of them
selves and out of the hard world
about them, is task for the noblest
intellect. Such things are accom-
plished every Sunday at Washing
ton Gardens. Be sure and come.

The Washouts.

Councilman Vail, who left here
last Sunday for Arizona, returned
to the city yesterday. He informs
us that the first washout is about
seven miles this side of Mammoth
Tanks and that they occur at inter-
walls for twenty-five or thirty mil es
beyond. In some places the gaps
are hundred yards or more wide,
while others are but few feet. A
trackman, who saw the water COM
ing, informed Mr.. Vail that it re-
sembled an immense crested wave
fully three or four feet high, which,
wherever it struck culvert, washed
a gap, larger or smaller, according
to the character of the road. Fills
and entertainments Were no impede
ments to the resistless force of the
seething water, and the super
structure of ties and rails were
fioated off like so much chaff. The
trackman stated that the roar
which accompanied the rushing
water was the first intimation he
had of the impending destruction,
there having been no rain or storm
on the desert, and that the water
spout which caused it must have
burst in the mountains miles
away.
A train started out on regular
time yesterday, and, although her.
culean efforts are being made to
repair the damage by Mr.. Seth
Green, Mr.. Vail, who walked some
distance along the track, does not
think the road can be got in run.
