Charley Howard,s Generations.

Sioux Falls, July ITO. K. Howard,
as everybody in this region of the west
knows, is broad gauge operator.
Whatever he does 1t is always done on
big, liberal scale. A few years ago he
quit the mercantile business and be-
came granger. He purchased nearly
5000 acres of land IN one tract, six miles
west of this city, and went to work with
an army of plow boys. With his agricul-
tural venture he associated stock
growing. The latter industry proved
the most congenial to the old boomer,
and the deeper he went into it the more
Indifferent he became to grapgering.
This 5000 acres soon became TOO limit
ed and he took up cattle ranch in the
Black Hills region, where he now has a
herd numbering over 5000 head, and
during the past two years he has allow
ed his bonanza wheat and corn ranch to
lapse into pastureage lands. In the
meantime he has been dlsposing of large
hunks of land of the farm to outsiders.
Last season he sold 1000 acres of wild
land-a part of his ranch-for $4,000 to
an Indiana man, who will improve it
within the coming year, and now he is
negotiating for the transfer of 1000 to
1,5OO acres more to gentleman from
Kansas City, Mo-, who will at once
open live stock farm of blooded cattle
and horses.

A Very Bad Man.


Miller, ID. T., July 18-A Highmore
correspondent writing to the Journal
of the 10th, tells how cleverly a Hand
county horse thief gives the deputy
sheriff and assistant the slip and rides
away with borrowed horse. The mans
name is J. B. Burgo, quite familiarly
known to money loaners of the place and
others as thoroughbred rascal. His
crimes date back farther than his appear.
ance in Hand county. He first became
conspicuous as gambler, who lost
heavily, but always had money. It be.
came known after while that he was
getting loans of different money loaners
in quite large sums, and
people began to look after
him. The property mortgaged, it
came about, was his fathers. The sheriff
and creditors came down'on him, and to
save the son he made affidavit that the
property was his. The claim amounted
to 5000 or $500, and when satisfied left
his eyed people penniless. The sheriff
OF Hyde county came here to-day with
his man, whomshe had caught in Buffalo
county. While he and the sheriff were
eating dinner he got through first, got
up, went out and was seen no more. The
sheriff and posse are securing the coun-
try but no Burgo can be found. His
father is here to-day and says that in
one way and another he has saved the
boy from the penitentiary several times.
and now he thinks if caught he may 90.
Petitions for the old couples relief are
being circulated.

Roller Kinks the Cause.

London. July lS-"An old roue"
writes to the Pail Mall Gazette: "Tbe
evil you have exposed is a warning
against roller skating. The evil came
with roller skating at the Princess club.
Then for the first time men about town
were brought into daily contact with
beautiful children, not members of their
own families. The little things, in their
innocence, were too prodigal of their
smiles and glances. A passion sprung
up for children. The ruin of thes 9
children themselves was not the ques-
ton, but PROGRESSES found little East
Enders to bear the curse vicariously.
Since then the trade between the East
and West Ends has grown enormously"

THE Ex-PRESIDENT'S FAME.

Mr.. Arthur Commended Not Because He
Has Done Any Great Coed, But Be
cause He Has Done No Great Wrong.
There is good deal being said in an
indefinite sort of way about the great
credit with which Mr.. Arthur retired
from the Pres dency. An amiable dis
position has cropped out almost every
where to award him praise for having
been an excellent President, and yet it
would bother any one to mention in
what particular line of administration
the excellence was shown. 1t may be
that the retiring President proved him
self to be so much better in the Presi-
Dental office than his previous political
course gave reason to expect that he
would be, that his not turning out as
was expected is emitting him to the
credit of having done exceedingly well.
The credit is the result of surprise and
the merit to which it attaches is more
of a comparative than of positive char
acter.
The commendation that rightfully
belongs to the Arthur Administration
is not for anything particularly good it
did, but for its not having done any
tnlng very wrong. LII SoHSiuoIiHS
what great damage the Garfield Admin
istration would probably have done the
country if it had lived out its full term
under the directing influence of James
G. Blaine, the public readily conclude
that President Arthur, if he did nothing
else. still did the country great service
in abstaining from adopting the Blaine
policy of the previous Administration.
But he retires from the Presidency
without having made distinct impress
sion except in social way. The sue
cess of no great public measure marked
his Administration, nor was there any
reform of existing abuses wrought out
during his term to make it distin-
guished. But among society people he
shone as the greatest President this
country has ever had. In this respect
his admirers have great reason to be
proud of him. Other Presidents have
had distinguishing qualities of different
kinds, but Mr.. Arthur, IN addition to
his being the best dressed President of
the whole lot, will always be distin-
gulshed as the Chief Magistrate who
could receive and entertain with the
greatest ease and most polished man
ners blue blooded visitors from the eff
fete monarchs of Europe

A POLiTICIAN'S MISTAKE.
How John O'NeilI, Missouri Congress.
man, Nearly Lost His Reelection.

How John ONeiII, a Missouri Congress.
man. Nearly Lost His Recollection.
Representative John O'Neill of Mis-
souri,, is a veritable son OF the soil.
Among his granger constituents he is a
granger him self, and what he does not
know about horses, cattle and patch
products is not worth knowing. His
district lies in the upper part of St.
Louis. but as it embraces the billy-goat
and garden-truck suburbs of the
metropolis of the Mississippi, his con-
stituency is somewhat rural. To this
element Mr. O'Neill has long been a
walking encyclopaedia of information
concerning crops and live stock. Dur
ing his last campaign, while he was out
canvassing, he met one of his farmer
constituents driving a cow. He at
once began to air his knowledge of
bovine breeds with which, he said, he
had been familiar since his earliest boy
hood days. when his father used to
send N out in the ghostly twilight to
hunt truant calves.
In the height of the enthusiasm be
offered to buy the cow the farmer was
driving. The farmer was not anxious
to sell. but said he would take 500 for
her. "Drive her right up to my house.
said ONesll. land I'll be there to pay
YOU the money" The farmer. now
ever, suddt My regretted that he con-
scented to part With his favorite COW,
and began to think of some way to get
out of the trade. All at once a bright
idea struck him. Said he, LET me tell
YOU, Mr. O'Neil1. L want to be honest
with YOU. The cows gentle and good
mixer, but there's one thing about her
that [ ought to tell youof. She has no
upper teeth 81. OF course that changes
the trade said O'Neill; YOU wouldn't
expect me to take cow with such def
c as that. But you bring me good
m lker tn sound upper teeth and III
buy her. When the story got out
there was great excitement in the cab
baee end of his district, and the farmers
turned against him en- masse. ONeill
learned, to his horror, that cows did not
have any upper teeth. He tired to exc
plain, but it was no use. The gram
rers swore they would not have q
Congressman who was blamed fool
enough to believe that cows had upper
teeth.
As result, O'Neill was almost over
thrown He was only reelected by the
skin of his own upper teeth. Since the
elect on he has bought whole library
on the anatomy of domestic animals.
and is determined that no dess gning
granger shall catch him mapping next
time Washington Republicans.

UNSOUGHT ADVICE.
MI. Blaine Taking q Lively Interest In
MIR. Cieveland's Administration.

Mr.. Blaine Taking a Lively Interest In
MIR. Cieveland's Administration.
Really it would seem as if Mr.. Blaine
is taking more lively interest in the Ad-
mlnistration of President Cleveland
than he would in his own had he sue
ceeded in getting into the White House
His organ, the New York Tribune, has
been freshly tuned and his fingers are
constantly going over the manuals and
his toes over the pedals to the one tune
of advice to Mr.. Cleveland. He tries
all sorts of combinations of stops,
from the Reid mixtures to the Star
Route diapasons. Yesterday he turned
on the silver vox humana, and attempt
ed to connect it with the Ku-Klux
trumpet. but the combination did not
appear to work. Although Mr.. Blaine
displays much zeal and industry
as an organ-grinder, he should
try his skill on less dilapi-
dated instrument than the Tribune.
1t is terribly cracked. and the very
bellows has become wheezy. 1t is as
much out of place in the present era of
harmony and reconciliation as High
land bagpipe or Chinese tom-tom in
Beethoven symphony. With all respect
to Mr. Blaine's industry and persistency
in offering advice, we would gently
remind him that this is Democratic
Government, and that a much-endur-
ing country's patience is getting ex-
hausted by his ill-advised efforts to
emerge from the comfortable and quiet
oblivion to which he was charitably
consigned OF course, it is pretty hard
on him. after all the wasteful expendi-
ture of cash and elaborate plan of
campaign so ingeniously constructed of
lies and misrepresentation, to be left
out in the cold, without being able to
provide even a word of cheer to his
deluded and disappointed followers.
But proving around the White House
grounds. turning the crank of a cracked
organ and hoarsely shouting advice to
President Cleveland is not going
to mend matters for him. 1t rather ex-
poses him to fresh derision and makes
him the butt of all the boys of the press.
Some considerable friend of Mr.. Blaine
should take care of him, and induce
him to give up organ grinding as an oc-
cupation, putting the wheezy old in
strument by which he has been aif1ict-
ing the public into some convenient
lumber room. It would be well, at the
same time, to withdraw his misguided
friend, Chandler. from wasting his time
on such VIGOROUSLY ill-tuned organ as
the National Republicans, which has an
unfortunate knack of breaking down
just when the player is preparing for
grand outburst of discord. Let those
two gentlemen become reconciled to
their obscurity, which is, after all. more
friendly to them than they are now
willing to admit. Organs are mighty
instruments to handle by un-
skilled performers.-Albany argus.
