NEW YEAR PROSPECTS.

The new year will bring with it many
improvements and developments for our
section, it is believed, and first among
these in importance is the working OF
the Mt. Ayre slate-quarries, several
miles north of this place. 1t has long
since been known that the quality and
quantity of this slate we're fine and plen-
tiful, respectively, but not until now
have satisfactory arrangements been
made for the working thereof, Such a
development as this, with the necessary
labor employed to make it, must needs
bring capital to our town and section,
and capital is all we want here we have
all the natural advantages.

Sold Stored Wheat.

Il. X. Lee, proprietor OF the Valley
Springs roller mills at Sioux Falls was
arrested and tried before Justice Stick
ney on tho charge OF embezzling 1874
bushels of wheat. Lees downfall is
sudden. For six or seven years he has
furnished the farmers in the eastorn
portion of the county with flour. A
week or SO ago f. H. Peavey closed the
doors of Lees mill on chattel mort
gage Of $4,000. This mortgage was in
reality a second mortgage, although tho
Peaveys We're under the impression it
was a first One of the banks of Sioux
Falls held prior mortgage and the
Peayeys were compelled to take up this
mortgage. For some time the Peaveys
had under consideration the proposition
to prosecute Mr.. Lee, but concluded at
last to pay up tho first mortgage,
amounting to SIS, 1000, and foreclose on
their second, and thus gain possession
of the mill.
Since the foreclosure there has come
to the surface the fact that Lee had
stored in his elevator and mills hun
dreds of bushels of wheat for which he
gave storage receipts. No wheat can be
found and the conviction has come to
the minds of many that the wheat has
been sold and the proceeds pocketed.
The arrest was made by A. G. Keeney,
Of New York, who holds storage re-
ceipts for 500 bushels of wheat Mr..
Lee was bound over by the justice to
appear before the grand jury in the sum
of 81, 900. 1t is understood that there
are no less than fifty cases similar to
the one of Mr.. Keeney and prosecution
will be made in all of them. Mr.. Lee,
failing to got bonds, has been placed in
She county iail.

NEW York. Aug. 1.-The edict Of
practical hanishment which the czar has
pronounced against the Jews in Russia
will have an important effect in this
country. Prominent New York Hebrews
say that the great majority of the ban
ished million will make their way
as soon as possible to America, which
is the only land to which they turn
with favor. Many of the immigrants
will of necessity be almost with
out means There will first arise tho
question of their admissibility under
the law excluding all persons liable to
become public charges. Superintendent
Weaver, of the immigration bureau,
says he anticipates a repetition in its
worst form of the rush of Russian i'm
migrants to this country in 1872. lie
believes that 60 per cent. of them will
come to America. "Tho law for the
exclusion of paupers was designed for
just such emergencies, as this" Su-
perintendent Weaver says, 'and shall
enforce it STRICTLY"
