Boiler Explosion.

Last Friday afternoon the boiler in
the Farmers elevator exploded and
caused an alarm OF fire to be turned
In. The engine house was blown to
atoms and fragments of the boiler
and building were scattered for several
hundred feet from their previous To-
cation. Fortunately Mr.. Grove, the
engineer was not in the building at
the time, having gone down to Dew.
lng's jeweler store to get mis- watch.
When he left the engine there was
plenty OF water IN the boiler and he
would have no doubt been killed had
the explosion occurred few moments
earlier or later. The engine was q
secondhand affair, having been used
IN the laundry at Watertown. Last
winter the boiler froze up and had
been leaking for some time. Very
little damage was done to the elevator.
The shock OF the explosion made the
dishes and windows lattle in the
stores on Main street. Fortunately
the fire box of the engine renamed in
tact and no fire occurred from the ex-
plosion. The loss is estimated at
about S40O.

What About Beets.

1t is somewhat surprising 70 note
the rapidity and solidity with which
the beet sugar idea has taken hold up
on the minds of the people of South
Dakota. Even during the eiecLion
campaign just closed, wnen a group of
farmers were found taking together,
the subject of conversation was either
politics or beet sugar. EThis state
meut does not apply to Minnehaha
county alone, as papers from all over
the state report similar condition
OF things. The time is undoubtedly
ripe for Sioux Falls to take an action
in this matter. factory will be
erected somewhere hereabouts in the
near future, and the Queen City should
have it. The question of ability and
willingness OF South Dokota farmers
to supply the raw material has been
settled beyond cavil by practical ex-
periments, both at BrOokings Aeri,
cultural college and by individual
farmers. William Connolly, who
lives in Lake township, this county,
raised a number Of these beets. The
result satisfied him that there was
more money in 1t for the farmer than
in any other vegetables. The erection
of factories in several counties
throughout the state is among the
possibilities, as in q number OF cases
committees have already been APP
pointed to investigate the matter

if there has been fraud committed to

A few days ago l was standing by
an American gentleman, writes n
London editor. when l expressed a
wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his
watch, looked at 'G ard pointed to
the north. l asked him whether he
had q compass ATTACHED to his
watch. "Ail watches are compasses,
he replied. Then he explained to me
how 1t was. Point the hour hand to
the sun and the south is exactly half
way between the hour hand and the
figure XII on the watch. For in
stance, suppose it is o'clock, point
the hand indicating to the sun and
III on the watch is exactly south.
Suppose it is 8 O'Clock, point the hand
indicating 8 to the sun, and the figure
Y on the watch is due south. NY
American friend was quite surprised
that lid nos know this. Thinking
that very possibly l was ignorant or
thing that every one else knew,
and happening to meet Mr.. Stanley, ]
asked that eminent traveier whether
he was aware OF this simple mode of
discovering the points of q compass.
He said that he had never heard of il.
presume, therefore that the world is
in the same state Of ignorance.

The Australian Ballot System.

The Australian ballot system has
been by some persons regarded as an
invocation, a foreign device which is
not worthy OF imitation at our cleo
tlons. There are honest objectors to
the system. There are also objectors
who perceive that with the adoption
OF NE system their corrupt trade has
gone.
AS q matter OF fact the practical
working OF the system destroys every
theoretical objection which can be
urged against it. 1t Is not only ex-
peditious, distancing the old method,
but Its crOwning merit is that it in.
sures to the voter, SO far as human
agency can do SO, thu unmoIested, un-
obstructed expression OF his real pre-
terence at the polls. The Australian
system sends to the rear the heeler
and strlcker and stesrer; that result
was very noticeable in this city today.
1t cuts the ground from under their
feet. In the privacy of the compart-
ment, and with the official ballots be-
lore him, the voter is free to express
his choice. The process is simple and
easily understood. The intimidator
can be defied successfully. The bull.
dozer l. squelched.
A strong recommendation of the
system is the celebrity with which vot.
ing Is done. Today, IN Minneapolis.
voting has been wonderfully y expedited.
1t was estimated that by 10 O'Clock
morn over II. 600 votes had been re-
corded. The man who knows for
whom he is going to vote can make
MS crosses OH the three official ballots
in forty to fifty seconds. Some take
a little longer. But the process is far
ahead of the old standinp-in line sys-
tenn in expedition. To this system it
will be impossible to return after the
successful operation OF the new sys-
tenn. The latter should be the uni
form system for the whole state in.
stead OF being in use in a few cities.
The next ltgis ature should enact such
