SOUTH DAKOTA is NOT STARVING.
Sensational Reports About DestitutiOn in the
New State Denounced at q State Meeting.

WATERFOWL, s. D., Dec. 1S.-In view of
the fact that South Dakota and her re-
sources lave been grossly misrepresented
by the Eastern press, working great injury
to the new State, and placing her in a false
position before the world, it has been
thought best to inquire into the actual con
dition of the several counties of the State
and report the truth, and the truth only,
to the world, TO the end that Justice be
of the Union. and that malicious misrepre-
sensations be forever repudlated. The FOL
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, the people OF South Dakota view with
sorrow and alarm the organized and continued
Misrepresentation and falseh0Ods as to their
promulgated for sinister motives, by the origin
atOrs; therefore,
Resolved. That this convention. composed of
representatives from nearly every county in
South Dakota, do emphatically deny that failure
of crops and consequent restitution prevails in
South Dakota, IN proof of which, statement they
refer 10 the management of the different rail-
roads traversing this domain. whose resources
have been taxed TO the utmost in transporting this
years crops to market; also the official report
of the commissioner of immigration as to the
amount of crops raised within her borders dur
ing the season Of 1889. 1t Is shown that the
amount of corn, wheat, flax, cats, barley and
other grain exceeds that of any other year.
Resolved, That while a partial failure of crops
has occurred in several counties. notably Foulke
and Miner counties, caused by. local drought,
that such failure does not Indicate destituti0n In
South Dakota, any more than the establishment
of public soup houses for the poor by action OF
the city councils of New York and Boston indi-
cate universal restitution in those cities. And
that in so great an area as South Dakota,s there
must be in Localities, as in the past there has
been, partial failures of crops each year.

WANTED To DIE AT HOME.
Futile Efforts of q Dying Lighthouse Keeper
to Reach His Family and Friends.

QUEBEC. Dec. 1S.-A pitiful story comes
from Red island lighthouse, opposite the
mouth of the Saguenay. 1t appears that
the guardian of this lighthouse was, until
lately, Elzear Frazear. and he had spent
the summer on the island with his wife and
family and an assistant. Alfred Cote. Early
in November, as was their wont, his wife
and family left him to return for the win
ter to their home at Trois Pistoles. BY the
rules of the department. he was Obliged to
remain on the island to keep the light going
until Dec. 10. Soon after the departure of
his family he was taken i'll, and was about
to die. Desiring TO breathe his last In the
midst of his family. nightly efforts were
made by his assistant to signal friends on
Green island and the mainland. by means
of b~onfires, to come and take him off.
Finally. a few nights since, the signals
were noticed, and the next day a brave
crew from Green island endeavOred to
reach him in an open boat, which they
finally succeeded in doing, aftermuch hard
ship and risk. Rolling tho dying man in
blankets. they put him on their frail craft,
with the intention of endeavoring to return
to Green island; but a sudden storm forced
them to put back to Red island, where Mr..
Frazear expired shortly afterward. HIS
death was no doubt fastened by exposure
and excitement. The following day they
succeeded in effecting a crossing with his
body.

RUNGI.ING SURGEONS
Responsible for Congressman
L.airCI'S Death.

HASTINGS, Neb., August 2O.-Some-
thing of a sensation has been created by
the report of the autopsy over the late
Congressman Laird. This examination
brought out the surprising fact that
Laird was sound man physically, and
every vital organ in his body was found
to have been III healthy condition. He
was getting we'll and with his vital or
gans unimpaircd it was only question
of time when he would have been re-
stored to full vigor. This was prevented
by most unhappy circumstances. En-
incnt physicians had declared that Laird
was not suffering particularly and that
the surgical operation was dangerous
and unnecessary, and yet his death is
attributed directly to the operation per-
formed just a few days before his demise.
His death was directly attributed to
blood poisoning caused by said opera
ton.
