of the nat re of conjecture cannot be

important events in the history OF south
Dakota, and there is cause for hearty
congratulation in the fact that q perma-
nent organization has been effected and
that the institute will hereafter be an
annual occurrence This institute has
been an argument In favor of the di-
vision OF Dakota which is most emphatic.
Il was a gathering of the ministry OF
south Dakota, o n OF the clergy OF that
portion OF the territory lying north OF
the 46th parallel having attended. and
yet the ministers of the two sections are
Just as firm friends and are working in
Just as perfect harmony as before. This
indicates that the Dakota clergy recog-
nizes the fact that north and south Da-
kota have no interests in common and
that the invisible dividing line between
the two sections Is just as perceptible
and permanent as though it was q ohasm
q million fathoms wide and deep. This
institute has also been an exposition OF
the intelligence and education of the
clergy OF Dakota and as ii indicates
culture in that direction so it recon-
mends Dakota as a place of residence to
the people of any other community on
earth, There never has assembled in
the northwest q SGT of men who are more
deserving of that name in every sense
than those now in Yankton. Yanktor
accepts their attendance as q compli-
ment and all the future meetings of The

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, TEX. Dec. 13.-At $3.50
this morning the jury in the case of w.
D. Young, charged with the murder of
G.. C. Rogers ON the 27th Of July last,
brought III q verdict of not guilty. This
case had been set for the 18th inst. but
yesterday morning the case against
George and John Hunter, charged with
the killing of Colonel 7. j. Williams
one year ago having been continued I'M
til the,neXt term by consent of the de-
fendant and state, The venire in the
Hunter case was substituted for the one
which had been originally summoned for
the Young case and the trial proceeded.
The fatts in the killing were substantially
as telegraphed at the time. Rogers
and Young met in saloon.
After a friendly conversation and
Several drinks Rogers made derogatory
remark at out some of Young's friends,
upon which Young gave him the lie.
Rogers struck him and dropped his left
hand to his side, when Young caught
him by the shoulder, and thus holding
him, stabbed him to death with a large
break-back knife. The testimony
showed that Rogers was drunk, had no
arms, was crippled, and was endeavoring
!. to get loose from Young all ther
;while He succeeded in getting lpesSopessfl'
according to the testimony of Til. BoE
:-deaux but Young appIeached, shovedN
aside his arm which he held up to ward
off the knife and stabbed him twice more
to the heart. The defense succeeded in
proving that Rogers was man of vio-
lent and dangerous character, and
rsaaon this and Young's belief that
F'fiis life was in great jeopardy, they
relied for the defendant Justification.
This closes the last scene in Girls Rogers :.
tragic career. During his thirteen years
as city marshal of Palestine and: as dep
uty United States marshal he. established
reputation IfE. personal bfafery, and
official capacityslind:i pfomptitUde 9cele
brated all oyer tie. Southwest. Tie had
killed five men in:.vdnbus encoIaters.
Oh the 18th of May 1887, while city mar
shall he had q desperate encounter
with Thomas o ,tDonnell in which Rogers
was wounded apd Thomas O'Donnen
killed. This killingrintensified the hos
tility of his enemies and from that time
the fate closed darby around him and
the chapter was ended on the day. when
he and W. d. Young met in Robertson s
saloon and sat down for friendly drink
and talk. On the trial Young established
a good character for peaceful and orderly
habits.

Press reporter that within the last few
Sweeks he had received the designations of
a considerable number of presidential
and fourth-class postmasters with the re-
quest that Republicans, whom they

pointed TO their places. Others have
written asking whether their designations
and the recommendations of Republican
successors would receive favorable ac-
ton. In reply to the inquiry as to his
action in these cases the postmaster
general says no designations had been or
would be accepted that are made for the
purpose of forestalling the action of the
incoming administration by the appoint
ment of Republicans.

THE NATIVES DECREASING.

A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from several weeks Of travel
on the island of Hawaii, remarks
that he was deeply impressed with
the evidences he had met of the
poverty of the native people and of
the rapid decrease Of the Hawaiian
race. The lands have largely pass
ed out of the hands of It's former ma
tive owners, and the latter retain
little or nothing of value as an equi-
valent. Money is extremely scarce
among them. Many localities winch
but very few years ago were quite
populous with natives, are now
mainly occupied by other and for
eign races. While the IL ter have
increased the former have ecreased.
The natives sicllen anG die and
quietly disappear.
The observations of tbs gentle
man with regard to Hawaii, would,
we believe, apply equally TO any
other island of the group. Any
observant person travelling through
almost any OF the country districts,
after an interval Of three or four
years, cannot fail to notice the di-
minution in the native population.
1t is asserted by some that in pro-
portion To the decrease in the coun-
try districts, so is the increase in
Honolulu and other popular centres.
There is no evidence to prove that
this is correct. Indeed, it is pnlpa
bly, wide of the truth. There is NJ
doubt that the decrease has not beer
stemmed, but is still going on. Th'
fact is not pleasant one, but moth
ing is gained by denying or disguis
ing the truth. Better accept th'
truth, and set about to ascertain i
anything can be done to turn th'
tide. This is Il greater and ii noble
work than any and all material ad
vancement.
