The serious illness of James Whit

Death of Rev. S. d, Human.

Rev. S. D. Human, Indian mission
airy in charge of the little band at the
old Agency in the town of Sherman,
died last Monday, a little past the hour
of noon. He was taken sick on the
10th, his illness developing case of
pneumonia, but no dangerous results
were apprehended until the morning
of his death, when turn for the worse
was noted. Rev. Purves, rector of the
Episcopal church at this place, was
sent for, and arrived only short time
before Mr.. Humans death. He de-
scribes the death-bed scene as very at
fecting, the little Indian colony having
gathered in body to make their final
farewell to one whom they had grown
to hold in almost parental regard.
Many of that usually stolid race were
in tears over the parting with their
guardian and friend, and when Mr.. Pur-
Wis arrived. the catechist was reading
the prayers for the dying in the Sioux
language.
Rev. Samuel D. Human was the
second graduate from Seabury Divin-
ity school ct Faribault, and was Or
dained by Bishop Whipple in 1860.
He early manifested a desire to labor
as missionary among the Indians,
and Immediately after his ordination
removed to the Redwood or Lower
Sioux Agency and begun the work
among the red mon which was to con-
tinue, with slight intermissions grow
ing out of the Indian outbreak in 49,
up to the hour of his death. After the
outbreak Rev. Human followed the
Indians to Dakota, Ultimately he was
made Dean of Niobrara, which involv-
ed the overnight of the interest of his
denomination over most of the then
territories of Dakota and Nebraska
and he attained such prominence thai
he narrowly escaped an appointment
as missionary bishop in that diocese
Two years ago Rev. Human tool
charge of the Indians settled on the
ground of his first pastorate, and since
that time has secured the building o.
a handsome church which was to have
been finished the coming summer.
Rev. Human was married to {
young lady at Faribault early in hi
pastoral career, who died several year,
ago, leaving a family of five sons ane
daughter. More recently Mr.. Hinma1
married second time. His widow
and younger child are sorely bereav
ed in his death.

SANBORN.
REPORTER.

The spring term of our district
school at Sanborn commenced this
week, under the management of Miss
Randall from Cottonwood county. It
is unfortunate for Redwood county
that it has not enough timber that can
be worked up into properly qualified
teachers to take charge of her own
schools.
Well, Jot, will tell you about that
tubular we'll of E. P. Dotson's. They
went through two or three kinds of
material-blue clay, some layers of
hard pan and layer of coal Is inches
thick at depth of $50 feet, and at the
depth of 252 feet they struck water
that raised up within II feet of the
top of the well. Just at this time they
struck a hard substance supposed to
be soft sand stone, and they went on
down about 30 feet farther till they
dropped through that supposed to be
white sand stone. Under this stone it
was a soft, sticky, clay mud mixed with
white sand, and they stopped drilling
at depth of go feet, and commenced
pumping with, horse power. In order
to clear the water they have pumped
a steady stream from morning till
night for over five days, and can't low
er the water one inch. They have
drawn out about 800 barrels day, SO
you see there is plenty Of water when
we send down the proper tools to fetch
it up. This water is being used fol
man and beast, and is good healthy
water. PIoHEEH.

they were class of able debaters. The

John CORES, of Willow Lake, re-
ceived pardon from Gov. Merriam
last week, and returned home to his
family on Thursday, after imprison-

slaughter and sentenced for six and
one-half years. On his trial it appear
ed that he struck the fatal blow in an

numerously signed by those concerned
in the trial, as we'll as by many other
citizens, the action of the Governor will
be generally approved.

not yet been made but the Rock Island

The Daily Hersey is very solicitons to
prevent the Democrats from extracting
any comfort from the speech OF Butter
worth against the iniquities Of the tariff.
The Democrats do not value the senti-
ments Of a man who has not the courage
Of his convictions. Butterworth speaks
against the robbery Of the tariff in more
scsthing terms than Mills and votes for
It. That inconsist sncy, that crime
against his conscience, settles Butter
worth with Democrats and with all
honest men. Butterworth recognized that
he had stultifed himself and announced
simultaneously that he would not be a
candidate for re election.
What the Democrats enjoyed Is the
break in the ranks Of this Republican
conspiracy for robbery They enjoyed
the admission from one Of the ablest.
cleverest and most honorable men in the
Republican party that protectionism is a
fraud, that the support which the Re-
publicap party gives It Is fraudulent and
that he himself one Of the best Of the
lot, Is fraud. He had the grace to give
notice that he has gone as far as be
could 60 and now he protests and will
step down. Butterworth has not the
courage to vote honestly, hence be will
give mp his position, so that he will not
have a struggle between conscience and
robbery. The Daily Hersey says.
It is presumed that nearly all the Re
publicans in Congress felt as Butter
worth did. but they were not SO indlscreet
as to give themselves public airing for
the delectation of the Democrats.
That is just about the position Of the
majority, they nearly all felt as Butter.
worth did, but they were not So indis-
Greet as TO give themselves a public air
ing as frauds-as men who could be in
Haenced to vote against their convictions
Of honesty and justice The Republican
is mol wise organ, but it has stumbled
against the truth in this admission thai
the whole tariff scheme is fraud an,
that those who advocate it are dishonest
It is shameful admission, but it is tru
that Republicanism has degenerated e
such degree that it is a notorious
qualification.
While it is humiliatlng to recognize
the situation in which the Republican
party is placed on the tariff question, i
is well that Butterworth has been candi,
enough to tell the truth.
While it is humiliating to observe tn,
public qualification of,an otherwise hon
orable man, it is well that Butterwortl
has shown shame enough to expose him.
