A few days since while visiting Hills
town the proprietor Of the ADVERTISER
had his attention called to a certain
transaction which showed that the bust
ness men OF a city often lose interest in
new industry that seeks to secure a foot
hold in their midst, when they are not
directly benefited by the establishment
Of such an enterprise. The case at
point was where the manufacturer was
compelled to give bond to the govern
ment before he could begin business.
He found bondsmen, but nearly every
one who was able to qualify for the nee
essary amount had room to rent, and
because he could not use more than one
room, the industry was soon lost sight of,
and these men still have "Store Rooms
for Rent" the gentleman feeling COM
PEELED to locate in a town where a more
liberal spirit prevailed.
The business men OF city cannot af-
ford to carry out such a policy. If they
do, the sheriff will be custodian of their
earthly possessions long before their Ma
ker calls them to the unknown beyond.
Whenever stranger drops into town,
give him hearty welcome, and if he de-
sires to enter into any reputable business
take special interest in him and assist
in making him one of us-and in a
short time every vacant building will be
occupied by prosperous merchants, man
ufacturers, or professional men, all of
whom will add wealth and strength to
the town.
1t is hoped that the people of Sturgis
will profit by the incident above related,
taking advantage of the experience OF
others

In an interview published in the
Pioneer Tuesday morning, Judge
Moody comes out with an emphatic de-
NAL of being favorable to Van Cise as
successor to the late Mr.. Gamble. While
his friends are glad to get an expression
from him on this question, many believe
the judge could have defined his politi-
cal relations with Mr.. Van else in way
to be understood, without making fresh
the old wounds that time seemed to be
fast healing. Every word uttered by
any republican should be to strengthen
the party, instead of driving support
from it's ranks. A votes a vote nc
matter whether cast by Moody repub
lican or Van else follower. Unite the
party and victory will perch upon the
republican banner OF South Dakota.

The Minneapolis Tribune says: "Isn't
the tariff tax? Don't the American con-
sumner have to pay the duty? That's
what G.. Cleveland and his supporters
tell us; but if this is the case, whence all
this cry from British manufacturers over
the Mckinley bill? Why should they
care if the cost comes out of the pockets
of the consumers? In his letter to the
Tribune, Roger Vail, of this city, had
considerable to say on this subject. We
reproduce passage having reference to
the subject: After spending week in
Limerick, I took the train for Galway in
company with an intelligent Scotchman
and his family, who we're making a tour
of Ireland. Knowing that was from
America, he piled me with all kinds of
questions, and then commenced to de-
nounce the Mckinley tariff bill, which
is playing sad havoc with British manu-
facturers. He said since the Mckinley
tariff came into force, forty-four tin
plate works in Wales were closed,
representing an output OF 100000
boxes per month, and twenty-five more
will stop in a few weeks. AS for tex
tile fabrics of all kinds, they were in
jured more or less by this atrocious
American bill. It was a national dis
grace for the United States to pass such
measure to injure the products of the
United Kingdom. I listened patiently
for quite while, and then took up the
cudgels for the republican party. AS {
democrat it went against my grain tt
defend any republican measure, but was
to listen in silence when anything Ameri
can was attacked? No sir. I began tt
denounce free trade, and pointed t
Ireland, which is almost deprived o
manufacturers, and told him that one O
the first things an Irish parliamen
should do as soon as home rule was OBJ
tanned, was to initiate America"

 Edward Takes His Confinement in
 Mount Vernon Asylum.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Another of the peculiar dealings of Edward M. Field cropped out yesterday. It is charged that he went to the private desk of Mr. Wiechers, one of the partners of the firm, and removed from it $50, 900 worth o1 government bonds and $15, 900 in loan notes. MT. Wiechers himself indirectly makes the charge.
 He says: 'sWhen went to Cuba sev- eral months ago in the interest of the sugar cons olid ation scheme, l left in my private desk $50, 900 worth of govern ment bonds These were the personal property of my wife. Before leaving the city I lied Mr. Fields attention in my desk.
 sI also left in the desk some $15, 900 in loan notes. They were endorsed so that my wife could collect them, as they matured during my absence. These notes were my own private property and Mr. Field knew it. On my return from Cuba the $50, 900 worth of government t bonds ana the $IO,OOO WOrLn oL neBobl- able notes were gone. My private desk had been opened"
 Mr. Wiechers had no idea in what scheme Edward M. Field dissipated this money. All he knows is that the money is gone and he and his wife are penni- less.
 It was freely charged on Wall street yesterday that, in addition to other crimes, Edward M. Field had robbed his partners wife, sacked his fathers strong box and left that grayh aired man penniless. The latter accusation comes from a gentleman who professes to have heard it from Cyrus w Field himself Edward M Field, according to this story, went to his venerable father three days after the death of Mrs. Field and while the old gentleman was still prostrate from the shock, begged for pecuniary aid to save him from dis grace.
 The old gentleman handed Eward the keys to his vault in the safe deposit company and told him to help himself | The box, it is said contained $500, 900 ir securities, the remnants of Cyrus w. Fields once great fortune. Edward took the keys and went away. It il now alleged that he rifled the box and that before night of the next day Cyrus | w Field was penniless, save for the few | pieces of real estate of which he hal 1 since disposed.

Afternoon Reception Dresses.

Com binations of velvet and silk or satin are preferred for the handsome and somewhat stately-looking dresses worn for afternoon receptions. Indeed, for all classes of good dresses, velvet is to be lavishly used. A Paris model has a princesse back and train of velvet. The front of the skirt is also of velvet but is covered with 8 square-cornered apron of silk with an elaborately em- broidered edge in Arabesque pattern This apron extends across one side and the front of the space between the sides of the train. On the right is an A-shaped panel of silk null wrought in gold-thread embroidery. The vest is of silk and is shirred in below the em- broidered collar, and extends below the waist-line, where it is covered at the lower edge by the folds of the apron which are draped er it. Embroidered revers turn back to meet the tops o1 the sleeves, which are of embroidered silk and are finished. with puffed capes of velvet drawn up with metal cords. The bonnet is made of velvet matching that in the dress The sides and crown are laid in flat plaits and 8 band of rich gimp in metal and beads covers the sides and forms a coronet Aigrettes of metal and soft plumes trim the bon net Velvet strings are fastened at the back of the bonnet nnd tie in small bow just at one side of the chin.

He Passes a Comfortable NIght--His Son
 at Mount Vernon.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Cyrus w. Field is resting easily: having passed a com paratively comfortable night. His con. dition is regarded as slightly improved.
 The loss of the Union Pacific Railroad Company by the rehypothecation of se- curities by Field. Lindlay, Wiechers & O., was estimated at $200, 900 to-day by Mir Holmes, their attorney in the case. Mir. Holmes says the railway company has recovered the greater part of the securities.
 Sheriff German said to-day that the commitment of Edwin M. Field to an insane asylum overrides the order for his arrest, and that his instructions not to arrest the other members of the firm of Field, Lindley, Wreckers & Go, had not been countermanded. He would not serve the order against the other mem bers of the firm until he had received instructions.
 MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., Dec. S.-Ed ward M. Field, who is confined in the Mount Vernon House, two miles from this place, as 8 dangerous lunatic, was very restless during the night, although he had slept some of the time. His at tendant did not leave him for . mo ment. His condition to-day is about the same. He is not thus far regarded as dangerous patient.

Yes, still another cut in prices, one more slice taken off, and this time a big one. We didn't use an ordinary knife; we used carver. We have gone through our boys suits and have picked out all the broken lots and marked them down where they must go quickly. Suits that were $6 and $4 now $2. Formerly $5 now $4 ant $6, $7, $8 even as high as $10 now $5 Do you know what it means when we say this, it means that we have abandoned all ideas of getting back what they cost us You pocket the profit and we make the best of a bargain which is good for yor and cleans up our seasons business.

The Foreman Was Rattled.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec 3.-By a curious mistake a jury in the United States district court rendered verdict of not guilty yesterday afternoon when it was intended that the verdict should be guilty. The case was that of J. H. McCloud, charged with counterfeiting. The foreman made the mistake in an. nouncing the verdict and as the clerk of the court asked the jury to affirm it they looked aghast. Several members of the jury corrected the foreman anG Judge Cutler administered a reproof tc the careless foreman. The judge stated that had a sealed verdict beer rendered the prisoner would have beer entitled to his liberty. As it was, sen tence of eighteen months Imprisonment was imposed.

 Hanks and Rank Failures,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The report of the Comptroller of Currency shows that during the year ended Oct. 31, 1891, 193 new National banks were organized possessing an aggegate capital of $20, TOO, 0OC, thus exhibiting @ growth large ly in excess of the annual average for past years. In number of faures the present exceeds any previous year, but others have been more disastrous in point of capital and liabilities. It is noted that more than one half in num- Der of the banks which became insolv- ent during the period covered by the re- port were located in two. Western States, and that these failures were chiefly due to the effects of four successive crop failnres

 and then killed himself. She will re- cover. The cause was domestic trouble. For some time Pollock and his wife had been unfriendly toward each other.

THEIR NERVE FAILED
Mrs. Gregory's Murderers
 Quail When Accused.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT.
Mcclure and Mrs. Brown Openly Charged with the Crime by Their Accomplics.

The Man Pleads Not Guilty-HOw the
 Pair Were eArrested-Clever Ruse of the
 Detectives to Get Them Out of Penn
 sylvania Without a Requisition-NO
 Doubt as to the Guilt of the Arrested
 Couple.
 MIDDLErowN, N Y., Dec. 3.-Fred Mo- Guire and Mrs. Sarah A. Brown, the al- legged mur derers of Mrs. Amelia J. Gregory, who was killed at her home, near this city, on October IA. are in the grasp of jus tice. They were arrested at Galeton, Pa, and brought here Tues day night. To avoid the delay incident to g acquisition the detectives told the pair that they were wanted as witnesses in the murder case.
 When Justice John Wiggius opened court yesterday morning for 8 hearing in the case Assistant District Attorney Powelson appeared for the people and Theron A. Read for the prisoners. Nc Guire was first arraigned and interro- gated apart from Mrs. Brown. In reply to the Court he stated that he was 23 years old-he is probably ten years old er-and was born at Shandaken, Uls ter County. In firm voice he pleade d not guilty.
 There was a dramatic scene in court when Warren Brazington, the alleged accomplice of the prisoner, was called to | the witness stand by the district attor- ney. At this unlocked for appearan ce ] of his old partner in crime as 8 with ess | against him McGuire's bulldog courage | and nerve visibly failed him.
 In reply to sharp questioning Braz- ington gave additional and sensational details to his confession previously made. He told how McGuire and Mrs. Brown and himself had met at Mo Guire's and conspired to rob the Greg orys. On two nights, he said, shortl y before the murder WITS accomplished, he and McGuire went to the Gre gory house armed with loaded pistols and intent on
 getting the money" as he phrased it. l On each occasion as they sneak ed up to the house they saw Mr. and Mrs. Gregory peaceably seated beside thei1 hearthstone. Brazington says that at | this sight his heart failed him and he refused to accompany Mcclure.
 This ne W statement by Brazington is believed to be true and confirms the general opinion that Mrs Brown was as deep in the plot as Mcclure, and that she accompanied him and assisted him in the dreadful work.
 Justice Wiggius committed McGuire to the county jail at Goshen to await the action of the grand jury. The police have secured from the woman a $5 bill
 with peculiar marks and discolora tions, and MT. Gregory identifies it as being part of the money stolen from his | house at the time of the murder

THE MIsusED COUNTESS.
Earl Russell's Wife Reiterates Fl 0
 Charges of Cruelty.

Charges of Cruelty.
 LONDON, Dec. S.-The suit of Countess Russell against her husband, Earl Rus sell. for judicial separation drew . large throng to the High Court yester. day, although there were not so many women present as on the previous day.
 On the opening of the court the Countess resumed her place in the wit ness box and Sir Charles Russell took up his cross-examination at the point where it was broken of by the adjourn ment of the court.
 Sir Charles put many questions to the witness regarding the relations between the Earl and Roberts, and tried in every way to le ad her to contradict herself.
 The witness, however, persisted in the statemen ents she had made regarding ments she had made concerning the in- forma ti on furnished her by the Dowager Countess Russell, Lady Agatha Russell and the Hon. Rollo Russell.
 The Go ountess testified that these per sons did not say anything about Rob- erts, but they told her things about the Earl's past life that made her think him capable of the offence suggested.
 The Countess admitted that she had received a letter from the Earl's solicitor advising her to borrow $1, 500 from an insurance company for the purpose of settling her debts.
 When asked whether the state of her health had anything to do with her separation from her husband, the Coun tess replied that her doctor told her that she was suffering much from worry and she would be better if she separated from the Earl for some little time.
 It was then agreed that she and the Earl should part for at least three months.
 Sir Charles Russell here read letters that were exchanged by the Earl and Countess during the time the latter was at Pembroke Lodge.
 Other witnesses examined were Dr. Godson, the family physician of Lady Scott, and Eliza Vale, the maid to the Countess.
 Throughout the day the light-haired, spectacled, weak-looking young Earl, the object of universal contempt, sat in the seat provided for him, sneering or smiling at the evidence presented. After taking some further and much ! similar testimony, Sir Edward Clarke, for the Countess, announced that the case for the petitioner was closed. Sir Charles Russell, for the respon d. | ent, in summing up, made one of the most brilliant and adroit of his many remarkable addresses to juries. He spoke clearly. and cpntending, at length, that the Countess had been known to be of an extr emely nervous nature and he claimed, vas willing now, in face oi the dark insin nations wa ade in Court ir l face of everything and anything, that his wife, whom he dearly loved, in spite ! of any statements to the contrary | should return to his home.

The Arch. bis hop was received in the main hall of the club, and for several hours shook hands with g steady stream of represen- tativea of all denomin ations who avail ed themselves of this opportunity of testi flying to their admiration and esteem of his life and services.
