fectIy Independent.

The Ruralist, the official organ of the
Farmers Alliance and the mouthpiece of
the Independent party in South Dakota,
and whose editor is more intimately asso-

representatives OF the Independents. party
standing on it's own platform; If necessary to
emphasize this point MIR. Kyle will ask tor a
seat in the center OF the senate chamber.
In non-essentials he will follow his convictions
The party that comes nearest to those convic-
tions will gain his help until such time as the peo-
pie have a chance to send a proper representa-
ton. Mr.. Kyle evidently believes that plenty Of
help Is coming his way. The attitude OF both
the Republicans and Democrats, he thinks, will
give the Independents all the states west Of

will study carefully all the needs of this grand
young state On his return from Washington

Black Hills He has promised to make a

s According to the best estimates attainable
at this time the total loss by the fire will be
$3.50, 600. The final adjustment may cut
this down to perhaps $225, 600 or possibly
500, 900. The principal damage, Of course,
is to the Lumber Exchange. It is difficult
to determine about the loss. IF the walls
have to be taken down in the uilding,
then the loss on that building alone may
reach 500 600. The walls are standing and
apparently in good shape. There IS no
bullying, SO far as can be seen. The roof,
and rear end of several of the upper floors
have fallen in, and viewed from above it is
"a tough-looking wreck. A good deal Of

an unpleasant demonstration by keeping
the exact hour of the empress departure q
secret, several hundreds of people gathered
about the Cafe du Nord and watched the
movements of the empress with consider
aole interest. The crowd, contrary to gen

majority of the men present taking off
their hats as the empress passed. There
were were no insulting cries of any descrip-
ton. III f., -

Reasons Assigned for the Resignation of
the Treasurer.
WASHINGTON, Mch.1 1t is generally &C.
copied here that United States Treasurer
Huston has resigned, and thatJ. A. Lemieke
will be appointed his successor.
None of the parties interested will au-
thorize any statement Of the subject, and
the truth of the frumors cannot be either
officially denied or affirmed. 1t is thought,
however, that Mr.. Lemieke's name for

The reasons assigned for Mr.. Hustop's
resignation are both political and social
dissatisfaction with the administration in
that he and his family were not properly
