CARROLL & LOWE

Are special district agents for the Dew
lis Lake land district, with adjoining
counties, for the old reliable Farmers
Yankton Fire Insurance company, of
Yankton, Dakota. 1t is the Oldest COM
pany in Dakota and the only ono that
confines it's business to farm business
entirely. 1t does no business except
farm and detached business, and in
the true sense of the word is the only
farmers company We have among us.
Carroll e. Lowe intend getting every
farmer interested in it Ill their district.
No man can afford tn be without sonnet in
surance upon his property. He does not
need much, but he needs enough to offer
himself protection in case he should be
burned out by prairie fire, which are like
" to be very bad this coming fall owing
to the extremely dry INN Carroll
Il Lowe travel over the country to every
farmer, examine the property before TAX
ing applications upon same, and thereby
can personally recommend the risk. Any
one giving them applications when they
are called pom can satisfy themselves
that it will be just as they say. They
also place farm loans at the lowest rates
with a company that if you should want
a few days time in the fall to get your
threshing done to pay the interest, would
grant it. They Will look around for new
school houses when they are in the coun-
try, as they sell school furniture cheap
that thoy can guarantee for ten years, and
take your bonds at par. 1t would be we'll
to remember that they can be found at

Where They Got Their "Tips,"

At a recent racing meeting of the
Saratoga association, just previous to
the close of the season, the grand stand
vas crowded with tho usual we'll
dressed mob, who laughed and chat
ted, nibbled a sandwich or drank q
glass of wine between tho races, and
watched breathlessly, hope and anxiety
alternately depicted upon their excited
faces as the flyers sweep down the
home-stretch - the same crowd that
every grand stand at every r]ace-coursc
knows-and a little apart sat two COL
ored girls. They were dressed in quite
| good taste, and their manner indicated
that their surroundings were not at all
novel to them.
When the boys appeared calling the
French pools for tho first race the
elder of the two girls bcckoned to one
of them. Quietly confident she named
her horse and received her card, in the
paying of which she produced a pocket
book stuffed with bills whose plethora,
however, seemed neither to impress
nor burden her as anything unusual.
When the horses were led out both
her companion and herself watched
them with eager interest.
"She can run, you betcher life"
naming the horse of their choice, the
elder of the two said, and the event
proved the correctness of the assertion.
After the finish the girls received their
winnings with the calmness born of
repetition, and then gave themselves
up to the consideration of the next
event. Another investment in French
! pools was in order, and again the win
ming horse was duly selected.
The third race brought bad luck. 1t
was u rae in which tho field sold
against the favoritc and the latter
won.
''There," said tho young girl when
the horses passed the judges stand,
II told you Ben said she was all
right"
II don't care" replied the other
%doggedly; Jim said she was all
wrong, and Jim is right a heap sight
oftener than Ben is. The last thing
Jim said was BUY the field"
Until the final race was won these
two girls kept their places, seeking no
notice, paying but little attention to
their immediate surroundings, and per-
sistently betting on every race.
When the races were done the girls
followed the fashionable carriages back
to Saratoga in an questionable omni-
bus. and in the throng Of grooms and
stable-boys which later took its way in
the same direction it was not difficult
to discover a possible "Ben," or
''Jim," intent, doubtless, upon more
pointers for the next days events

The more important bills that became
laws by act of the late session of the
49th congress are the presidential sue
cession bill; the temperance bill, as it is
called. which provides for a national
study and analysis of alcoholic drinks;
accepting the Grant medals and tro.
pixies; the oleomargarine bill; the bill
for the increase of the navy; to reduce
the fees on domestic money orders; for
the relief of Fitz-John Porter; to in.
crease to twelve dollars per month the
pensions of widows and dependent rela-
tives of deceased soldiers and sailors;
to provide that homestead settlers with
in the railroad limits restricted to less
than l60 acres shall be entitled to have
their additional entries patented with
out further cost or proof of settlement.
The most important defeated measures
are the bill to increase the efficiency of
the army; the Bland bill FOR free silver
coinage, and Vance's bill to repeal the
civil service law. The Morrison asur-
plus" silver bill failed by reason of the
adjournment of congress before the pres
ident had time to consider it. The
Cullom inter state commerce bill, the
Mexican pension bill, the Morrison and
Randall tariff bills, and a number Of
others go over to the next session oil
congress.

trial, and he paid the Doodle to the

trial, and he paid the Doodle to the
rghtful owner.
We reiterate that it is downright dis
honesty on the part of the News to adj
vocate Mr.. Maher:'s claim. Wa there
ever anything so inconsistent as the as.
sumption of the News and the position
of Mr.. Maher? After MI. Maher has
refunded the money; after he has failed
to bluff the board of commissioners and
by refunding, has acknowledged that
the money was not his, the News, his
organ and mouthpiece, has the impu-
dence to claim that it did belong to
him, and it seeks to fortify its position
by attacking the editor of the INTER-
OCEAN. Why don't it assault the board?
Why not attack the opinion of the
supreme court?
If county treasurer collects 100000
for taxes from the taxpayers ola county,
his compensation, under the law, be-
ing 4 per cent, he would receive
$4,000 in commissions. Now, suppose
the commissioners of that county
should issue bonds to the extent
of 100000, and sell them at par, the
county would have $1,000 00, besides the
100000 collected as taxes, to place in
the hands of the treasurer, who, by vir-
tue of his office, is required to become
responsible for it. Is it a business-like
proposition to say that the treasur'
err should have $4,000 of this bond
ed amount also simply because it
is placed in his hands? He earns the
4 per cent the law allows him for col.
lecting taxes, but he must possess a mon
umental gall to claim 4 per cent fol
money that is paid over to him in q
lump, requiring no labor on his part
This is the exact opinion of the supreme
court reduced to plain Anglo-Saxon, but
the Latin-bangers of the News pretend
not to understand it.

A Mr.. HOLLAND, of New York city,
has invented Il torpedo boat which can
be used in a variety of ways to effect the
destruction of war vessels. 1t can be run
under a ship and kept there long enough
to admit of fastening internal machines
to the vessels bottom. Then the torpe-
do boat runs out a wire, scuds off to a
place of safety and the explosives are
touched off by electricity. Its chief
mode of warfare, however, is in the use
of a gun charged with nitro-glycerene.
This gun is fastened to the bow. By
forcing water from certain compart-
ments the bow comes to the surface and
the gun is discharged at the object aimed
to be destroyed. The recoil from the
gun sends the torpedo boat under the
water again. Science is performing
wonders in this direction, and one hard
ly dare permit his Imagination to pic.
ture the final outcome. A century
hence one nation may destroy another
by a spark Of electricity. When the
scientist succeeds in claiming and con.
trolling sound-waves without the aid Of
wires. the earth will have become one
vast magazine, and the touch of a key
might send us all to eternity. The more
a fellow ponders over the possibilities Of
the future, the greater is the conviction
that people are getting too by gosh
