RoichskommiSsar Norman Wissmann
was born in 1858 at Frankfurt-on-the-
Oder. From his earliest youth no had
great desire TO travel, and devoured all
tho books he coulo find about foreign
countries. In 1878 no entered the Ger
man army, but the lifo Of a soldier did
not satisfy him, and ho still dreamed of
travels. A few years later he met DR..
Pogo, and, having heard from that
celebrated explorer about the lands that
remained to DO explored in Central
Africa, he offered his services to the
Afrikanische Gesollschaft in Berlin,
which was thcn organizing an expedition
to Central Africa He was promised tho
post Of geographcr to tho expedition if
he could get leave OF absence from his
military duties; and, this having been
granted he set out with DR.. Pogge for
Africa in 1880. fIe returned to Ger
many in 1883, and was welcomed rs tho
FIRST German who had over crossed tho
Dark Continent.
Towards the close Of tho Same year no
was chosen to lead an expedition at tho
expense Of tho King Of tho Bolgians, tho
object OF which was to discover tho
basin Of the river Congo. Ho returned
to Africa, end thero on tho way between
Dondo and Malange, mot his old friend
DIR. Pogge, who had suffered untold
hardShips in the interior and who was
reduced to a moro skeleton. Dr. Poggo
died in Pauio do Loanda in 1884, to tho
great grief of Captain Wissmann. Tho
two men loved ono another like brothers,
and had tho same interests. After Dr.
Pogge's death. Captain Wissmann led
the expedition to tho Congo and dis
covered tho basin Of tho river. But he
broke down in health. and was obliged
to go 10 Madeira, whore no spent two
mon this In idlencss.
In 1887 he returned to Germany, and
In the following year no was mado Com
mandor OF the Schutzruppen, or rather
no received commands to organize an
army OF black soldiers, in order to drive
the Arabs away from tho German colo
niles on tho cast coast OF Africa. IIo ar
rived in Zanzibar in March, 1889, with
staff OF fifty Germans, and from that timo

Tho Germans arc very proud of Major
Wissmann, and think him only second to
Stanley. He has been made Major and

further honors arc said to DO in store
for him. But his health is shattered,

Ono day carly in tho season caught
couple OF crabs in tho inlet as speci-
mons. and having put both in the Same
bottle was treated TO ono OF tho pretti-
est fights you over saw. Tho hint was
too good to DO lost. and for the last
three wooks crab fighting has boon the
hobby at this QUOT seaside resort.
Every man, woman. boy and girl, al
most without exception, has had his or
her fighting crab, and tho matches have
boon numerous and for blood. You can't
put up a job with q crab. Ito goes in
for a knockout. and he stays until the
victory is awarded.
It's q funny thing about these ditch
crabs. Take two from tho Same COLONY
and they won't fight. Pick up ono hore,
and go down the ditch hundred feet
and pick up second. and they'll fight
at the drop Of tho hat. Tho ontests
take place on the board walk or veranda.

South Dakota and its Future.

1t seems to us that every man
who is leaving South Dakota at
this time is making a grave mistake
if he can possibly remain here. We
are passing through trying times,
to be sure, but no harder or more
trying than those who settled in the
states east Of here, and not SO hard
as many of them. But all are now
looking forward to a return of pros.
perity, and when that time comes,
and it is bound to, many who have
left will again return with a deter
minAtion- to remain. There is
scarcely a shadow of a doubt that
the northwest is on the eve of a
rapid growth-not a boom. And
when the tide of immigration turns
Dakotaward the land that can now
be bought at the purchasers own
figures will bring a good price. r.
rigation will materially assist the
new impetus, but without it South
Dakota will be one OF. the wealth.

Ma. CUsTER,s PENSION.

The introduction in Congress of
a bill allowing an increase in the
pension to Elizabeth b. Custer,
widow Of General Custer, is due to
the efforts Of Mrs. Custe. s western
friends. She has long been urged
by them to ask the government for
a more stable allowance than the
5000 paid her annually, but has
always declined to put forth any
effort to that end. There is a long
list of army widows ranking with
Mrs. Custer receiving pensions Of
$4,000. Among these are Mrs.
Crook, Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Han
cock, Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Blair and
Fremont. 1t has been urged tina,
the brilliant service of Custer en-.
titles his widow to recognition at
least as grateful as any Of these.
Since the talk of fresh Indian
troubles Mrs. Clusters friends have
deemed the time an opportune one
for the presentation Of the matter
to public notice. The bill intro
duced by Judge Clupman, the De.
troit member, provides for an in.
crease of the annual payment te
81, 200, and there is no doubt tina,
it will be passed.-New York Press.

AS the fall advertisements of whole
sale merchants appear and their cir.
culars are sent to the retail dealers, it
appears they are claiming to sell goods
of all kinds for less money than they
ever did before. The election is over,
and the people have been fooled ;there is
no longer any need of working the
Mckinley bill scare, and the truth in
regards to it is now coming to the front
Wholesalers are finding that the false
statements with regard to the Increase
in the price uf the necessarics under
the Mckinley bill is acting as a boom
erang that is damaging their trade, as
fast as their country dealers "catch on
to their dishonesty and imposition on
the trade. Some of the big New York
houses that wer prominent in circula-
ting the lie, have already paid the pen
atty of their dishonesty in the loss of
their trade and consequent bank
urnptcy because they were unable to
meet their liabilities-country dealers
had caught them in a lie and were
afraid to trust them further hence, for
their smartness, the loss of trade led to
their bankruptcy. Served them right.

The Republicans iu congress have
reached an agreement upon the reap
%portionment bill. There vii! be three
hundred and fifty-six members of the
house. with a ratio of 173,9O1. The
electoral college, will consist of four
hundred and forty-four members. No
state has less than its present repre-.
%sentation. Assuming that the old
states vote in 1892 as they did 1883,
and giving the republicans the twenty
votes of the new states, the college
would contain 1863 republicans and 175
democrats. In 1883 Harrison received
2sS3 and Cleveland, 16S. A transfer
of New York and Indiana, with their
AZ votes would make a tie bv reducing
the republican column to 222o2 and IN.
creasing the democratic column to the
same figures. Notwithstanding The
MterOcean's figures, neither New York
er Indiana are rvotieal states. The
balance of power lays in the west and
that power will have to be recognized
in 1892.

South Dakota's Destttution Stories.

Huron, Dec. Especial: The
late letter of Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher
regarding existing restitution in
Brown county, seems to have been
the signal for a cry of restitution
from other localities. Everybody
knows that South Dakota, as a
whole, was not blessed with a full
crop last harvest. In many locali-
ties, notably in the Big Sioux val
ley, the crops was very abundant.
In other localities not quite SO
much was harvested, while a few
sections garnered but a very small
quantity. Yet the cry of destitu-
ton is again sent out from nearly
every part of the state and appeals
made to eastern cities for assist
ance. From what can be learned
it is quite evident that some of the
appeals r from self. constituted
committees and without the sane
ton of county boards. 1t is also
evident that in counties where aid
is reallyneeded the county commits
sioners have taken the matter in
hand and are preparing to furnish
all the relief necessary. Arrang-
ments have been made with the
railroad companies by.which coal
may be had at reduced rates, and
should feed for stock be required it
will be provided. Each county
appears to be entirely able to COM
fortably provide for the destitute
within its borders .-Sioux City

SOUTH DAKOTA ALL RIGHT.

The people of South Dakota are pre-
pairing for great prosperity. 1t is but
natural that many citizens should feel
a little discouraged now-and some may
drop by the waysidc-but after all, these
are times that try mems souls and show
what stnf they are made of. In ad.
versity the mettls appears. No more
industrious, intelligent, enterprising
people ever settled in q new country
than those who cast their lot within the
borders Of this state. Wheat raising
has failed-as it has in every other
statc-and now they areturning their
attenoion to other phaseo of expenditures.
They are just beginning to discover the
rich resources Of the state. A spirit of
investigation has set in. Our farmers
are investigating diversified farming.
They are discovering that great bene.
fits can be derived from a knowledge
of the adaptation of certain crops to
the peculiar conditions Of our soil and
climate. For instance, it is pretty
thoroughly known among the farmers
that this is prominently a wool.
growing state. The quality and kind
of grass, and the remarkable dryness
of the atmosphere, make this state Pc.
cnliarly adapted to sheep. The beet
sugar industry has been quite thor.
ougbly investigated, and the fact that
Dakota soil will grow the richest sugar.
producing beets in the world, has been
tested. Irrigation is in its infancy.
Our people are thoroughly convinced
that artesian wells will solve the crop
problem. Stock raising is receiving
the attention that its Importance de.
mands. The agricultural and mining
resources Of South Dakota are practi.
cally unlimited. The chief stock in
trade is a knowledge Of the soil, the
climate, and the kinds Of crops BEST
adapted. Our people have been OBJ.
tanning that knowledge. and will be
ready next year to prt 1t in practice

takes the place Of the engine and
also the place Of the engineer.
The. raising of sugar beets is also
another enterprise that will. devel-
OPP into. mammoth proportions, and
here again the water from the ar.
tesian wells will come into play
when the beets are madeinto sugar.
Taking these together with the
mining intereats of the western
part of the state. surely South Da.
kota has at present the brightest
outlook Of any of the western states.
