Judge Kidder Dead.

take from this mornings Sioux Falls
Press:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct 2.-JeffersoE
Parish Kidder, of the Dakota SUI
preme court and Judge Of the Fourth
Judicial District died at the Mer-
chants hotel at 1925 tonight Of in-
hamation of the bladder. He had
been ailing for eight months and
came here two weeks ago for treat
rnent. Physicians say the disease
was caused by failure of the deceased
to suspend court to attend to the
calls of nature, thus straining the
bladder and causing disease. 1t
was the Judges boast that he did
not follow the practice Of other
judges in this respect-and his life
has paid the penalty Of his inatten-
ton. Judge kidder was g years
old. His remains will be buried
here.

An Elephant in the Missouri
JungIes.

An ElepnanC IN the missouri
Jungles.
On "Wednesday night Of last week
after the Cooper & Jackson circus
and menagerie had given their even
ing entertainment in this city, they
started for point on the Missouri
river directly south Of here, where
they expected to cross the monkeys,
parrots and elephant on ferry boat
to meet all engagement at Ponca, on
the following day. But when they
reached the ferry with the balance
of the show, the elephant did not
materialize. Being an India boil.
twcnty-one years of age, he had
scarcely left the city limits when he
began to assert that independence
which accompanies the legal major
ity Of American citizens, naturalizsd
Irishmen, tc.,by refusing to cross
the bridge spanning small slough
Just below town. After his demand
to cross the clough in the way best
suited to himself, the keepers con-
sent was given. (the keeper, by the
way, was an amateur III elephant
trainipg) and he, instead Of passing
over the bridge, saw proper to wade
through, aud when emerging on the
opposite shore he, like Judge Kin
ney in the Iowa campaign, flew off
at a tangent, disregarding the
promptings Of his manager, and like
Kinney and Hoadiy, run himself
into the bushes, from whence Coop
er, Jackson 4 Co. have not yet sue
ceedet in extricating him.
Being q strong and determined
beast--a magnificent specimen Of
his kind-he found no difficulty,
probably owing to sportive gy,nnas-
tics Of his youth in his native jun
giles. in passing through the dense
underground Of the timber land Dor,
dering on the river, aud the willow
thickets that cover large portion Of
the wild lands. and are almost inn
penetrable for anything but a coyote
or an elephant. After . short and
unsuccessful effort to reconcile his
elephantship again TO the ordinary
routine Of business. he was abandon
ed for the night, and left to forage
among the cornfelds and gardens oi
the farmers, 70 which, it Is needless
to say, he resorted, to the detrilnen,
| Of barb wire fences and gates.
The next morning the hunt com
menced; and, although he could b
easily traced by the large swathe o
brush trampled down in his path
nothing satisfactory could b dons
toward his capture until Saturday
whom the party succeeded in ~
rounding and closing in upon hiin
but the elephant succsedcd in get
ting through their lines and escap
lug. His old trainer, who len "

show 1t Sioux Falls, had. befor this,
been induced 70 return and assist in
his capture. Riding up he fastened
the old regulation elephant hook in
his ear, and by vigorous pull, the
hook was broken. The elephant, boz
coming enraged at this treatment. at
tackled his keeper, and was in the
act Of beginning thorough perfora-
ton of his body with those long,
smooth tusks, when one Of the party
rode up and drew his attention from
the object of his wrath, whereupon
he rolled him away with his foot,
took the fellow who interfered, in
what be supposed was fair fight,
from his horse, and threw him forty
or fifty feet out into the thicket.
Then seized a dog which kept up =
continual bowling and swapping at
his heels, and threw him about one
hundred feet. With this little exhi-
bition Of his muscle, he walked away
without further molestation to a
more congenial distance and to q
more dense part of the jungle. Here
the hunt stopped until Sunday, when
party of probably forty or fifty
horsemen collected in the vicinity of
Stough's saw mil, awoke the quad
ruped from his Sunday mornings
nap. and gave chase down the river;
but owing to the dense undergrowtll
they could travel only in the road
made by the fleeing animal, and
cosequently, they remained in the
rear all day, and brought up in the
evening at Moore's mill, eight miles
down the river, the elephant still at
large. This completed the excite
ment, 80 far as we are informed, un-
til yesterday, Tuesday, when, being
hard pressed, he, like Horatius in
the Tiber, gave himself up to the
mercies Of the treacherous tides of
the Missouri, and swan quickly and
easily to the Nebraska shore; and,
a. he took his trunk with him, it is
supposed he has gone to stay. Thus
ends the first genuine elephant in
Dakota.

From Rev. Hines.


My Dear Mr.. Mallahan.--I left
you and my many friends in Elk
Point Sept. 10th, for the east. Ihad
spent nearly five years in the beau
tiful city Of Elk Point, in continuous
care and toll for the good people OF
the town, having a care for their re-
ligious and material interests, as a
clergyman Of the church.
My first call on the way was at
Chicago, then at Buchanan, Michi-
gan, my late western home, which is
now broken up by the removal of
my son Walter to Elk Point. And
so we leave only our graves behind,
and make our home with you in Da-
kota.
Next | came to the sea, at Boston,
my old home of other years, which
| left twenty years ago. When l
first visited Boston in 1928, there
were 10000 inhabitants; now there
are half a million in the city and
suburbs; one of the oldest, richest,
most intellectual and influential cit
les in America. / spent twenty
years in this noble city, the best and
most active part of my life. But
how changed? Still the old land
marks remain, and l feel at home;
It is not a strange place, though
much changed aud improved.
The good old commonwealth still
holds its own in all improvements
and progress. Just now they are
preparing for the annual election Of
state officers. Last year, unexpect-
edly t. most, Hon. B. +. Butler was
elected governor of this ancient com.
monwealth II was sore thing to
many, aud this year. there is to he q
rally by the republican party TO
ciange the government and elect a
distinguished citizen more to their
liking.
1t has been very dry in all this
part Of the country east, and crops
have suffered, as also by frost. Still
they will have fair harvest.
My next point WAS Wolfsboro
Junction, n II. to visit my son Rev..
VIM. L. Hines, rector of St. John
the Baptist church at this place. /
with Mrs. Alice Borden, sister-in-
law, arrived in safety and were re-
ceived by my son and his people
most cordially. This is a new VIII
lage on the railroad from Boston TO

This is a billy and mountainous
country; the soil is light aud most
Of the land is filed with stones,
which have to be gathered out when
plowed for corn or small grain. Ut
requires much care and dressing To
raise crop, which has no compare
son with ours in Dakota with q 1.-THE
of the labor aud expense. As l trav-
'el among the farmers, / find many
farm houses deserted by those who
have failed to cultivate the ground
longer in the hope Of living. Many
have made their way westward -
our rich prairies. Others remain,
and by dint Of hard work, dig their
bread out Of the rocks, aud live ID
comfortable circumstances.
