account of tae work of the new Bureau of
Navigation since its establishment bv the

status OF American shipping with that of
other maritime countries, he saws:
Though we may have developed in other
ways, we have not kept pace on the sea
with the early promise of our national
youth. The complaints, however, are not
that our shipping is going to ruin, as the
fact appears that our mercantile navy

world, and still forms one of the elements

Sad and Urtimely Death from
Whisky and Exposure.

The sad and untlmely death of Geo.
II. Henderson, Of OKobojo, about nine
miles southwest of Clifton, and the
manner in which it was caused, has
cast gloom over the W, stern portion
of our county. The particulars, rs near
rs we can learn them, are as follows:
Mr.. Henderson had been TO Pierre. and,
while there, drank too freely of the vile
stuff which 'steals away the reason
and makes Il man of fool" On Friday
of last week, the day of the snow
storm In this section, he started for
home. He was seen at Spring Creek,
n few miles south of Okobojo, about
O'Clock IN the afternoon. The next
morning his team was found in the
brush along the creek below Okobojo,
with hat or cap in the wagon. a
searching party was organized and the
remains found on the prairie. The
suppositon is that he became stupefied
from excessive drink and was either
thrown or fell from his wagon and
perished by the roadside The body
was still Timber when found, and he
evidently had not frozen to death for
the night was not cold. He had pull
ed his boots, removed his socks and
again put his boots on. A bottle part
ly filled with liquor was found upon
his person.
Mr. Henderson was Il blacksmith by
trade, conducting shop at Okobojo;
a hard working man, and greatly re-
spected by these who knew him. So
far rs we know, he was not very much
given to drink, which probably ac-
counts for his being so far overcome on
this occasion. He leaves a wife and
several small children to mourn his
loss and doubtless suffer f,om his death.

There is something wrong with

ton. We know of 100 for Little in
four townships, whereas a total of only
SO is given him. A mistake some
where.

Christian College Commencement.

The opening exercises Of Christian
College, at Clifton, took place on Mon
day evening, last, practically in accord
ance with the announcement program,
though from some cause-probably
the bad condition of the roads-Miss
+. Emma Nichols, Supt of Schools Of
Potter Co., and Thomas NJ. Goddard,
failed to be present as expected. The
chapel room was we'll filled with the
people of the community, who listened
with marked attention throughout In
teresting speeches were made by Rev.
Henry A. Barden, Prof. Henry Hoff
man, editor Of the Dakota School Jour
nal, and Rev G. T. Black, and the
principal address of the evening, by
Elder James A. Seaton, Of Watertown,
on " Character" vas pronounced a
mastery effort, and was we'll prepared
to benefit teachers, students and all
who had the pleasure of hearing 1t.
Excellent music was furnished by
Messrs. j. {. and John Bruner, Misses
Mollie Bruner and Clara Smith and Mr..
Hitch, Curt Bruner presiding at the
organ.
Christian College is now open for
the admission of students, and its sue
cess will depend largely upon the peo-
pie of Sully and surrounding counties.
Though the country is new and its citi-
zens in rather Strengthened clrcum-
stances, financially, our youth, of both
sexes, stand deeply in need of an edu-
cation, and, without the benefits of an
institution of this kind, large numbers
must necessarily be deprived of tins
great boon, beng, in many instances,
far removed from the advantages of
even common schools. The low price
of board and tuition at the College
which has been placed at only 50. so
per week, practically places it within
the means of most to attend, particular
ly in the winter season when there is
nothing to do, rs it will cost but little
more than to live ut home.

A Noted Police Officer.

New York Lette The redoubtable
Capt. Williams is candidate for the
Inspectorship made vacant by the pro-
motion of Murray. The commission
ers might do worse than give it to him.
Though Williams has received more
abuse in his time than any other man
ever got in New York for police work,
he is really one of the best officers the
city ever had. Charges have been made
against him over and over, but none
have ever been proved, and he stands
higher to-day than ever before. The
special characteristic of Williams is to
take hold of thing with all his might
and do it at once. There is no stop
ping to think about it. When there
is rough work to do he is as
ready with his fists as with his
club. He knows the manly art as
well as any trained pugilist, and a blow
from him is as sure to fell as if it came
from the big Boston bruiser himself.
Williams cleared tho whole tribe of
bunko thieves out of his precinct with
out ever using a club. Hepreferred to
grab a couple of them, one with each
hand, knock their heads together like
two cocoanuts, then give each a kick
and tell them if he ever caught them
in his bailiwick again he would break
their necks. A few nights ago Manager
McCaull sent for policeman to drive
off lot of ticket spectators who had
taken possession OF the sidewalk in
front his theater. Williams respond
ed in person instead of sending a man.
He ordered the spectators to clear
out, and as they were in no hurry
about it he grabbed couple Of them
at a rush, flung them sprawling into
the street and scared the others off on
a dead run.

The lawyers in a Contested
Will Case.
From the New York Tribune,

from the New York Tribune.
Miss Mary Irene Hoyt, contesting he
fathers will in the courts,is getting to be
the central sun of remarkable legal
galaxy. She started into litigation with
Lawyer Kahn. Then she added to her
legal contingent Roscoe Conkling, ex-
Judge Shipman and John Ordronaux,
while her opponents brought to the fore
William M. Evarts, Joseph H. Choate,
United States District Attorney Root
and Joseph Kunzman. Then Miss
Hoyt, acting under the inspiration OF
what Robert Sewell ungallantly calls
female eccentricities. " "reckless1y and
hee,llessly" dismissed the ex-senator
and the ex-Judgc and called to her aid
William Fullerton, General Roger
A. Pryor and Frank J. Dupignac.
And now all the lawyers have been
in court i'll q body, and Mr.. Kahn has
felt Obliged to employ Mr.. Sewell to
prevent Mr. Kahn from losing his fees.
Mr.. Sewell declares also that Messrs.
Conl>lin and Fullerton must not be for
gotten in the matter Of fees, and so an
other x-Judge-Ashbel Green-has
been appointed referee to apportion the
legal revenue, among the frightened
lawyers. Now let some of the learned
counsel enjoin the referee from acting
and get another lawyer to manage this
phase of the proceedings, and Miss Hoyt
will have created a legal commotion and
complication which will utterly distance
the Marie Garrison case. It is fort11-
nate thing for the lawyers that the Hoyt
estate is worth from Sic, ZOO, 900 to $751;
600 900 and that Miss Hoyt has the in
terest annually on 81, 250,000.

Killing Mental Power.
From aLetter of "Gath."

From a Letter of "Gath."
Mr.. Conant, the editor of Harper'a
Weekly, has not appeared, and they be-
lieve in the establishment that he had a
sudden softening of the brain, and when
in that irresponsible position destroyed
himself, probably by drowning. They
think that when the weather clears up
his body will he found somewhere in
the waters of New York. These cases
of sudden softening of the brain are sell
dom i'll the press, and every newspaper
man or writer pushing his mind too
hard is liable at some sudden moment to
find the mind departed like the frost
from some Uranium of snow, which sud-
denly turns to water and evaporates. I
was told by hotel keeper that Mrs.
Burnett, who wrote a number of novels,
has been lately ailing from having
pushed her nervous structure too much.
I know of two newspaper men in New
York state, both of apparently fine
health, who lost their brains by a sort
of softening, and they have been unable
to work one day since. One Of them
was sitting at his desk when, in the
twinkling Of an eye, the mental thing
few out of his head like the old strings
Of a piano.
