Pierre and her boomers are taking
advantage OF their opportunity to
hold up to the states gaze an alleged
/ capitol building at Pierre, that she
says is to be presented to the state
if the capital goes there.
The facts about that capitol build.
ing are these: She promised to give
the building to the state long ago.
She did not do it. No deed is on file
conveying the propertysto the state
and never has been. Iustead OF Civ
Ing even the rental to the state for
last winters legislature, they charged
the nice little sum OF $500 for for it's
use, and on the 10th 0f April last
rented the building toH the United
States government for 3 year, which
carries it to the 10th Of April 1891
for the snug little sum OF $3.50. In
doing this they faleified their
promises. In its construction her
citizens who now claimed to own it
allowed it's building and construction
account to 90 by default and as
consequence the structure is pIastered
with mechanics liens tor nearly its
full value. 1t is remarkable affair
at best. 1t was built in a hurry, is
lily contrived, inconvenient and only
a temporary structure.
Being now out OF their hands and in
the bands Of the United States gov
ernment, 1t Is impossible for the state
legislature to use 1t this coming
winter if Pierre were to get the
capital.
Hereafter let it be understood that
in the first place, the city of Pierre
does not own the building. In the
second place, some OF her private
citizens do own it. In the third place
they stultiiy themselves by not nav
ing given it to the state before. In
the fourth place it Is rented to the
United States government and cannot
re-rent it to the state. In the fifth
place the exacted rent for the use of
the building last winter, contrary to
the expectations OF the tax payers
and contrary to their promises as
well. In the sixth place the building
has not been paid for and they could
not convey title to the state if they
wanted to. So that boiled down in
to nutshell, Pierre as city neither
owns the building nor can she rent it,
neither can she convey it. There is
Pierre's capitol building in thimble.

What Are Your Remedies?

1t is about time for the Independent
party to come to the front with it's
remedies. Its strikers and heelers talk
about the wrongs and expressions Of
the Republican party. They argue
governmental ownership of railroads,
telegraph systems, ETC., but do they
give any feasible plan whereby these
things may be accomplished? They
talk ''sub-treasury bill" but do they
give q single detail of the plan? How
long has suffering public to wait for
the development of these magnificent
theories conceived in the brain of a
non-resident-would -be-governor? The
farmers OF Brookings county are de-
manding something more definite and
satisfactory before they are willing to
desert the Republican party. Come,
let us have it.

Gov. Mellette at VOlga.

Although q disagreeable evening, q
good sized audience greeted the Gov
enor at Volga On Friday evening last,
and all present had the pleasure OF
listening to one OF the most sound
expositions OF republican doctrine of
the campaign. While he is no brilliant
orator the governor gives facts that
strike straight from the shoulder and
have q telling effect. His is most
pleasing mode OF address that carries
conviction to the hearts OF his hearers
that he is sincere IN his motives and
that he is not trying tc lead them estray.
Gen. Pease, of Watertown being pres
ent also addressed the audience, ex-
planning, as he had seen 1t, the mode
OF obstruction as practiced by the
democrats in congress. The meeting
resulted in much good to the party.

have secured q steady flow of

THE STEAMER DISASTER.
Large Number of Bodies Recovered
Yesterday.

A Large Number of Bodies Recovered
Yesterday.
RED Wing (Minn.), july 16th-The
doleful tolling of church bells is still 10 be
heard in this city to-day, the list of the re.
covered dead from the disaster having been
greatly increased since yesterday. Eight
bodies were brought up this morning. In
the afternoon sixteen more were brought
up and one was sent over to Lake City, and
tonight another boat.load arrived.
The scene at the lake shore, 1.-THE disaster
having occurred two miles this side of
Lake City, in Goodhue county,, is sad
one. When the first bodies were recoy.
cred Sunday night and Monday morning,
their faces were calm and peaceful, and
showed little or no signs of having come to
sudden death. Not so with those found
last night and to-day. All these were
bloated and blackened hey ond recognition,
SO that the clothing, jewelry and papers
were the only way for their friends to
claim their dead.
The warm weather and the shallowness
OF the water, together with the fact that
several big steamers sent up heavy swells
to-day as they passed up the river. brought
the bodies to the surface very quickly. The
strolling rowhoats towed the bodies ashore,
where they were identified as soon as DOS
sible, boxed and shipped to this city.
Tonight another boatload arrived. This
swells the list of recorded dead to one
hundred, and it is thought about dozen
bodies still lie in the lake.
Eugene Sparks, of the Sea Wing, tonight
entered an emphatic denial of the report
that the Captain or any of the crew had
been drinking. The friends of Sparks and
Captain Wetheren are also indignant at the
charge of drunkenness.
The reported arrest of. Captain Wetheren
is true. A man who came tonight from
Diamond Bluff, where the Captains home
is situated, says the Sheriff took Wetheren
to St. Paul this afternoon, having arrested
him at the instance of the United States
officials.

The Remains of General Fremont Laid
at Rest.
NEW YORK, July 16th.-The remains of
General Fremont were laid at rest this
morning in Trinity Cemetery. Distin-
guished soldiers, citizens of prominence
and men who had been lifelong friends OF
the deceased were among those who at
tended the services in st. Ignatius Church.
The body was dressed in black broadcloth.
On the right lapel of the coat was pinned
badge of the California Pioneers, and on
the left that of the Fremont Verein, organ.
lied in 1856.
The pall-bearers were General Sherman,
General Howard, Colonel Floyd Clarkson,
Mark D. Wilbur. Ex-Governor Rodman L.
Price of New York, Ex-Governor McCor-
mick of Arizona representing Rear Ad-
miral Braine), William Colligan, James f.
huffman, Francis d. Clark and Msjor
George D. Edgar.
In accordance with Fremonts wishes,
there was no display and there were no
services at the residence. The body was
taken to st. Ignatius Church and placed at
the foot of the center aisle. where it lay in
handsome, black, cloth-covered casket,
the silver plate on which had the following
inscription: John C. Fremont, Major
General, U. s. A.; born January 81, 1918 !;
died July Is, $780," The lower part of the
casket was draped with the American fac
and covered with wreaths of flowers and
laurel, the upper half open, showing the
face and body of the dead General. He
was attired in full evening dress, with
black studs in the shirt BOSOM.
The venerable face looked thin and
worn, but the expression was natural, as if
asleep. The hour set for the funeral services
was 10 o'clock. Long before that time the
little church was filled with friends Every
one stopped a moment to glance at the
face. His gray-haired comrades of the
California Pioneer Association paused for
several minutes as they passed by the cas-
ket. and were much affected.
Rear Admiral Braine was unable to at.
tend. The relatives and immediate friends
present were Lieutenant John G. Fremont.
q. s. N, Colonel II. NJ Porter and his
wife, the adopted daughter of Fremont:
DR.. w. j. Morton and Mrs. Morton, and
Miss Bradley. In Difference to the wishes
OF the family the funeral services peculiar
to st. Ignatius Church, which is ritualistic
were omitted.
The services consisted of reading the
lesson of the collects, the anthem and COM
initial service. The choir sang Nearer MY
God to Thee" Lead Kindly Light" the
latter having been favorite with the dead
General. There was no sermon or eulogy.
At the conclusion of the service al the
church the cortege moved up Fifth avenue
and thence to Trinity Cemetery, where the
remains were temporarily placed in the re-
ceiving vault. The body will remain in
the vault until final arrangements for its
disposition are made by the family.

Denial of a Reported Interview Lately
Published.
PHGNIx, July 16th.- The reported inter-
view by morning sheet of this city with
Alexander, Clerk of the Board of Super.
yisors, in which he is represented to have
denounced as fraud the Maricopa Rail.
road subsidy bill. just passed by Congress
and vetoed'by the President, and which, in
modified form, has again been introduced
in both Houses of Congress-, is now en-
phatically denied by Alexander, and it
appears that the reported interview was
mere subterfuge to destroy the chance of
the passage of the bill now under con.
sideration in Congress, and for which
passage the people of the county are anx-
iously waiting.
In his denial letter Alexander saws: 81
want to say that the interview published
III morning paper was a falsehood in
every particular. To begin with, never
had an interview with this paper. re.
porter came to my residence Sunday. and
he and myself engaged in conversation In
reference to the subsidy bill. l told him
that our conversation was not for publica-
ton, and to this he agreed, and then
talked to him as an old friend, but the con-
clusions reached and the deductions made
and the inference drawn were wholly his
and were never uttered by me.
Il have always been a strong and consist
ent advocate of the North and South Road.
Ibid all in nay power to assist. even to spend.
ing some $40 for telegraphing to Judge
Barnes in New York in its behalf, but had
my objections to the measure. did not like
the fve-year clause, as was afraid it would
prevent the construction of the road. All
my interests are here, and why should be
opposed TO measure which is calculated
TO be of such great advantage to this valley
as the building of this road would be? l
have tried to find Mr.. Masten. l wanted
to notify him that he was using my name
without authority, and l wanted him to
stop it Immediately. Further, if Mr.. Mas
ten should build the road he talks about it
would only be to the north line of the
county, as he has no intention of going
further. l wish to say that iii all this bust.
ness l have been grossly misunderstood.
am now, and always have been, friend of
the subsidy bill, and I ardently hope that
1t will become law, as upon it largely de-
pends the development of this Valley
