She thought their destination was Man

Mrs. Spellman notified them a few DAYS
az a4go she would take charge Of it herself.
that they took it away with them secretly,
being unwilling to part with it. The Hen
ney family is highly respected. This after

Cleveland's Homecoming.

Nsw YORK, March 6.-Grover Cleveland
entered this city for the first time in four
years as a private citizen. He and his FAM
lily came by way of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. A special train of three cars ar
rived at the new depot the Central rail-
road of New Jersey at 6 o'clock p. m. The
ex-president's modesty was responsible for
the lateness of arrival. 1t was desired to
avoid crowd at the depot. The
train was brought along promptly
as far as Bergen Point at 4:4O p. M.
would have arrived at the Jersey City CEN
trail depot at 4:57, but according to the de-
sire Of the distinguished passenger the
train was side-tracked at Bergen Point, six
miles from the depot, at this end of the
line. The station master at Bergen Point
telegraphed the superintendent Of the Jer-
sey Central at the time that train would be
held there and arrive at Jersey City at s
O'clock. The effort to avoid the crowd
went all amiss. however. There were
early on hand five carriages and two
trucks from Victoria hotel to convey the
party and baggage to that hostelry.

FOREIGN PRESS COMMENTS.
LONDON, March 5.-The Morning Post
says concerning President Harrison's in
auguratiOn: president HarrisOn's address
is marked by commendable absence of
bombast, and if this marks the future tone
of the national policy another element IN
concord of the world will have been Sc
cured.''
The Daily News says: "Gold had more
decisive influence on the late election than
on any that has gone before. The rich on
both sides virtually buy places in the ad-
mini stratiOn by liberal donations to cam
paign funds. 1t is a form of pur-
chase system which bodies no good
to the states and shows that
civil service reform must begin at the very
apex of the pyramid. President Harri-
sons inaugural address is remarkable for
its numerous foreign illusions. The union
may refuse to grow in territory but cannot
refuse to grow in interests The creation
of the navy is evidently due to other con-
sideratiOns than the necessity for reducing
the surplus. The world may soon have to
reckon with new naval power. There
are more disgusting signs tor those who
dare to find them in the curious inter-
change OF views on commercial union
between Canada and America than in the
fisheries question"

Monday evening Ransom post G. A.

The attendance was large, taxing to
the utmost the capacity of the posts
hall in the Burr block. The meeting
was presided over with admirable tact
by Capt. G. A. silsby. The first num-
ber of a good program was the singing
America" by all present. Capt.
Slsby followed in a few pointed re-
marks after which Miss Emily Bras
sang solo, accompanying herself on
the banjo. Judge Edgerton was then
introduced and made an interesting
address. The other parts of the pro-
gram were Marching through Geor-
gia" by the audience and a recitation
by Miss Blanche Turneaure.
At this juncture soldier supper
consisting of hard tack, beans and
coffee was served, after which the pro-
gram was resumed with solo by Miss
Mabel Silsby accompanied by Miss

Mitchell Has Additional Reason
to Rejoice.
The reduced freight rates over the
Milwaukee which to Aberdeen and
Sioux Falls are the cause of rejoicing,
apply to Mitchell as we'll as to those
cities. There has been Sioux City
rate established between this city
and Aberdeen, which is several cents
cheaper per hundred than formerly,
and the rate to Sioux Falls has been
reduced and cents hundred.
With her location, excellent railroad
facilities. and Sioux City rates to all
points in South Dakota, what q whole
sale center Mitchell should become!
Here is the opportunity for such q
center and such Mitchell would surely
become if capital would improve the
opportunity.

Sioux City Journal: The people Of
South Dakota will find that they will
have to take an aggres s.ve position with
regard to control of railroad corpora
tions. They. y.will be met with threats,
but the only wise course is to be firm
and independent.
Thanks foE.the suggestion; but the
people Of South Dakota will be very
apt to treat the railroads fairly so long
as the railroads continue to show the
disposition tow ard them which they
have thus far. The railroad situation
in this state is peculiar, in that nearly
every community is reaching out for
more of these grinding monopolies
and could hardly be expected to inaug-
urate campaign OF aggressive hostil-
ity along a line of abstract notions
concerning the dangerous character of
these corporations.
