The State Farmers Alliance met
in Mitchell S. ID. Thursday the 27th
chose the following delegates to the
National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial union: II Lowe. ] S Bry-
an, L V Nanloran, c l. Hinkley,
a Wardall, Z B Cummings G
Grouse.
The committee on Legislative de-
lnands brought in report cover
ing thirteen distinct and separate
articles, and including everything
under the sun, and extending one
day beyond the end of time. The
Alliance goes in for demanding
everything i'll sight leaving the OPP
position nothing to wish for or de-
mand. The modesty of the ALI
ance is to be commended and if de-
manding was the only thing necess-
airy we could have the millennium
at once. Some of the demands
such as demanding uniform series
of text books for schools, endors-
ing the Australian ballot system,
that the state be divided into con-
gressional districts, and such kin
dred resolutions are reasonable and
should l,e earnestly considered, but
some of the others are outside the
bounds of reason. The Alliance
i'll some ways is an excellent thing,
but it is rather ex..orbitant in some
| Of its demands.

All are ON the contest in Law
renee county. The independent
candidates have served notice of
contest on the members elect of the
Legislature, and Sol Star, the de-
fcatcd republican has also served
a notice on Mcleod. Action is
taken by the independents on the
ground that in the Whitcwood pre-
cinct the vote was not canvassed

Henry Southgato was ono of the men

thousand dollars in bank notes-it was,

Southgate's friends pressed an appli-
cation for pardon on the ground that he
was dying of consumption. Governor
Hendricks believed the story and par.
doned him. "In very short time after
his release Southgate was as lively and
healthy IN evil-docr as there was in tho
State" said . prison official. "tle hasl

of blood, or rather by changing the
corpuscles, increasing the white and
diminishing the red. There are no se-
rious consequences following the use of
soap, and when discontinued tho man
rapidly gets we'll.
"Governor Hendricks, OF course, was
much chagrined over this deception,
and made an entry in this Office to tho
effect that 1T was never safc to pardon
man merely because he looked sick.

The eastern papers used up con-
siderable space in trying to con-
vince the public that the long lost
Charlie Ross had been found in a
Boston prison. He proves to be a
son of Bill Mosher the old criminal
who was supposed to have kidnap-
ped the boy. The New York Press
says that the sensational story of
the Boston boy was series oflies.
AS soon as Mr.. Ross saw the boy
he denied his identity. But like
the Indian scare in South Dakota,
this is sensational journalism.

PRETTY LAKE eLAz,ER.

The spar,...n; Sheet of Water Which
Gives slrt:l to tho Mighty Mississippi.
Tho ncwly-discovorcd source Of the
Mississippi is a sparkling little gem of
q lake situated above and beyond Lake
Itasca. 1t nestles among tho pines of o
wild and unfrequentcd region of North
ern Minnesota, many miles from tho
nearest white settlement, and just on
tho dividing ridge which forms tho great
watershed OF North America. Within
few miles of 1t can be found lakes and
streams whose waters arc tributary to
tho Red river Of the North and the Saint
Louis, these rcachiug tho sea thousands
of milcs from tho mouth of tho mighty
Mississippi, which flows in Q small
brook from Lake Glazior.
This lake, which is now generally
recognized as the true source of tho
great river, is about two miles in diam
cter, and would be nearly an oval in
form but for single prom cntory whose
rocky shores give it in outline the shape
Of u heart. Tho waters Of the LAKE arc
exceedingly clear and pu:e. coming
from springs, somc being at the bottom,
but tho thrco most prominent rise q few
miles to tho southwark in low, wet land
ut tho foot CT sand hills.
On the very point of the promontory
is spring whose waters nre as cold as
ice, and ut which Captain Glaciers par

the shores of tho new lake. So lonely
is tho region in itsvicinity that for four
teen days not even u rcd man was Seen.

of revenue next year. The first thing
for our newly elected political econo.
nlists to do will be to cut themselves in
two almost in the middle; Chen il they
all insist on travelling ON passes let
them recover their mileage into the
treasury. When this is done they
should cut down the various appro-
priations to the lowest possible notch
and weed out all ornamental
attachments to the several state
institutions. Then, let them knock out
the item of insurance ON state build
ings on the theory that the state is
wealthy enought TO carry its own in
surance. After this the list should be
revised and where an Office can be
abolished and its duties combined
with th. SO Of some other Office that
should be done. We are aware that
1t is comparatively easy to suggest
what should he doue ia an emergency
Of this sort, but We are also confident
that in . legislature elected as the
present one was largely on economic
issues, there will be sufficient ability
developed to bridge the present
stringency and the finances Of the state

unreliable Corrcspontlents.

Now, as the intense excitement OF
the past week has subsided to a great
extent, the exaggerated reports sent

respondents are beginning to have their
damaging effects on South Dakota, and
especially on the Black Hills country.

were not so excited as the people far

reliable, and the reports we depended
uron for the most part in forming an
opinion Of the extent Of the Indian
news we found in the Sioux City Jour.
nal. These accounts were sent into
that paper by correspondents who had
some little conscience left, and were
edited by man who undoubtedly
mnst have thoroughly understood the
situation. While it might have been
good thing, financially, for the Bee.
in the way Of enabling them to sell
more papers, it was doing so at the e1-
pense Of South Dakota. The Journal
exhibited as much enterprise and sold
as many papers, and yet did not 60 out
OF its way to damage our country. Even
the telegrams from here were base,ess
rumors and no donbt. many others
had as little to support them. In ex.
citment like the present conservatism
in a journal is to he commended, and
instead Of giving currency to all tele.
