The burning of the Dickert & Meyers
sulphur works on Saturday last, in
wolves loss to the company of about
$25 600. The notice for an assessment
for improvements, now published in the
sou hern papers, will probably be with
drawn, and the figure considerably en-
larged. Owing to the pending litiga-
ton, there were but few men present
when the fire broke out: had the full
force been at work. it is possible the
loss. or the greater portion of it, would
have been averted.

There is some little demand for Old
wheat, but this is mainly for home con-
sumption, and but very little of it can
be obtained. Wherever the market is
open to our shippers there is good de-

carloads have gone out during the week.
A few inquiries for brewing barley have
been received. and the prospect for a
good market at home was never better
than at this period.

SUNBEANIS.
BY JOHN G. BLAIR.

BY JOHN G. BLAIR.
There was never II sunbeam golden
That fell on a desolate place,
But left some trace of its presence
That time could never efface.
A song, be it ever so halloYed,
Or freighted with memories dear.
May slumber in silence forgotten
Through many and many year.
Yet a word or tone might awaken
It's slumbering beauty anew,
Long after the sweet-voiced singer
Had faded from earthly ew.
There was never a heart so hardeued
Or tainted with sin and despair,
But the love of the dear Redeemer
Might find an abiding-place there.
Yet countless thousands are yearning
For sympathy, kindness. and love,
And souls in darkness are dying
Without one gleam from above.
There was never a sunbeam wasted,
Or a song that was sung in vain.
And souls that seemed lost and dying
Chrst's mercy may yet reclaim.
Then scatter the sunbeams of kindness,
Though your deeds may never be known;
The harvest will ripen IN glory
If the seed he faithfully sown.

If they were let to stay
Awhile where they had placed themselves
'Twould be the better way.
For then. perchance, when struggling hard
They reach dry ground once more
They'd listen to the voice of those
Who'd gone that way before.
And just as long some good soul,
Forgetting sneer and fout,
Runs to their rescue just so long,
haven't any doubt,
Such folks as those will fall in holes,
And cry, Come and let me OUT

Revenge is sweet, and it has come to
Dakota in way which makes it doubly
sweet. The Democracy has been de-
feated, and the man chosen to the
presidency is the one who, while II
member Of the senate, WAS conspicuous
for championing the rights Of that
territory. II was Benjamin Harrison
who, as chairman of the committee on
territories Of the United States Senate,
carried through that body IN 1887 bill
for the division and admission Of Da-
kota. 1t was the same Senator Harri-
son through whose advice and influence
the people Of that Territory we're re-
strained from taking any unlawful step
when their patience had become exhaus.
ted by the insolent treatment OF q
Democratic house Of representatives.
And it will be the same Gen. Harrison
who, as president, will aid in giving the
rights Of citizenship to this long-sufer-
ing people.
