BROWN AT HOME AGAIN.
The Only Persons in His Town Who Are

The Only Persons in His Town Who Are
Not in the Skating Rink.
A man by the name of Brown left a
village in this state, about two years ago.
Last week he returned, and just as he
was strolling down the street of his ma
tive village he met farmer by the name
of Smith who was not prosperous when
he left, and lived just outside of the viii
lage. Brown was surprised to see the
former attired in dress suit, with a
silk hat, and a big diamond pin blazing
on his shirt front, and he inquired:
''Been to a funeral today ~

can be reconciled only upon the theory
that democrats nre not voters this sum-

Open announcement has been made
that the democrats Of Union. Clay, Lin
coin. Beadle, Sphinx and Yankton coun-
ties will not participate in the Sioux
Falls constitutional convention. These
announcements are tho result of con-
olusion reached by democratic leaders Q
month or 30 ago and this determination
will affect much larger number of
counties than those named. It is q part
of scheme to kill the constitutional
movement through division OF senti-
ment within the territory and while the
democrats are small in numbers they are
powerful in moral force at the seat of
national government. The leaders of
the democracy, who have dictated this
policy, are but minute portion of the
people, but the fortune of politics has
thrown them into position where they
can deal an effective blow to the hopes
of south Dakota. The motive which ao-
tuates our democratic brethren is not q
very lofty one. Under territorial form
of government the official positions will
eventually be thrown into their hands.
while under state government they could
hope for little in the way of political re-
ward.

An Elk Point correspondent states
that the democrats of the first legisla.
tive district incline to the opinion that
the whole affair 1.-THE constitutional con.
'vention] is revolutionary and uncon-
'stitutionsl, and that it will be manlpu.
lated wholly by irresponsible cranks, in
the interest Of woman's suffrage and
kindred objects. which are dlstasteful to
the representative and business men of
the territory" By their action Dakota
democrats will contribute largely to the
condition they so much deplore. In
the beginning they were openly in favor
OF project which through the legisla-
tive action and lapse OF time has now
almost matured and it Is hardly com.
mendable for them to break allegiance
at the critical moment. Democrats par.
ticipated heartily in the last constitu.
tlonal convention, which was fully as rev
olutionary in its character 'as the one
under discussion.

The Waters Il Utah.

E'.@f hAHNNAN
There is IN the extreme north of Utah
a magnificent subterranean reservoir OF
first class soda water, bubbling and Of.
feryescing out Of the ground in such
quantities that all America might be
supplied. In the extreme south, on the
road to Orderyille, is an exquisite cir
cular lakelet that is always Just full to
the brim with water as clear and as
green as beryl. And wherever the water
oyerilows the lakes edge it incrusts the
ground and the grass and the fallen
leaves upon it with a fins coating of
limestone, so that the brim is perpetu-
ally growing higher and higher with
the imperceptible but certain growth of
q coral reef, and in course of genera
tons the lake will become n concerted
basin.
Between these two points are seat
tered all o or the country springs and
pools of the strangest waters There is
one pool only n foot deep, and situated
az 4 high altitude, that refuses to free g
even in the seyerest winters. There is
another that my~steriously r~eplenishes
itself with half grown trout. One
stream that saw, though clear as crys-
tai TO the eye and tasteless, stains all
the vegetation it flows over a deep
brown. A warm spring near Salt AXE
City Is the strongest sulphur in the

with waters so hot that you can hardly
put your hand into them, and as bright
as diamonds, is one Of the most remark

An g 60 ioat OBJ ortunity Of observing
tho aerial a " propulsion in the
wing fish was afforded me during q
81 days cal u latoly when crossing the
hay OF engal. ! watched day by day
some hundreds rise under the bows OF
tho rAip. The water surface was u
CLASSY calm As each fish rose it spread
IT'S wings at once, apparently beating the
surface with them TWO or three strokes
lcfore they steadied out. say appar-
emily, for il was not a definite beat so
mu Ii rs u struggle to rise. Tho tail
which, Of course, under water was in
rapid motion to escape from the ship,
now gave ten or a dozen rapid beats,
which ,ould be counted by the ripples
on the still surface, and the fsh was OF
in aerial sight.
As each fish lost tho impetus Of the
first rise, which generally happened at
about forty yards. the bino ulars
showed us tho anal fins, which had till
now teen fully extended, dropping TO
feel the water. As soon rs the surface
was felt the tail was introduced and
five or six smart strokes, also indicated
by ripplcs, brought the impetus up
again aud carried the fish about another
thirty yards, when another droop sent
it On again, and so forth, some OF the
older fish travelling in this way 400 to
300 Yards. The younger FISH frequently
fell awkwardly in this attempt to re-
gain impetus. hen waves are run
ning it requires a clever fish to gain i'm
potus by n few judicious strokes on the
crest Of a wave, and many a fish tum-
bles over in the attempt.
lonce saw a fish rise close TO the ships
quarter, and it flew parallel with the
ship, pursued below by a dolphin or
bonita. The latter followed every
sway Of the flying fish, keeping almost
under it. At the first dip OF the tail
the pursuer made a dart forward, but
missed IL, and again logged its prey by
keeping Just under it. , on the second
dip the tail went into the ~pursuer's
mouth, and there was an end OF the
flyer. IL always struck me that it
seemed a strain on the fish to keep the
wings extended.
