Judge Aikens, of the Sioux Falls
circuit bench, has rendered an interest
ing decision in the matter of the en-
forcement of the prohibition law of
this state. 1t is that the building
where liquor is sold is enioined from
selling and not the person who
dispenses it. This makes itpossi-
bic for such person TO move in
to the next building or
across the street and open up
again when if he is estopped
IL further injunction must follow
him 1t will be seen that this is a
loop hole with two ends to it. While
it is possible to move To another build
ing if the injunction only applied to
the person, another might be found To
take his place, at quite as little incon-
venience as a move to another building.
Some of the cities of this state are seri-
ously agitating the question of adopt
ing what they understand as the
Palmer license" system of Sioux CITY.
which is To allow the saloons to run
ander a fine of once month. All
wild yaporings of the prohibitionists TO
the contrary, there is as much or more
liquor sold in such cities as Pierre.
Sioux Falls and Yankton than before
prohibition went into effect. There
are all sorts of holes-in-the-wall and
If there were not these irresponsible
places, that particularly dispose of
their wares to minors and persons
whom any well regulated law should
prevent having any, there is no trouble
in stepping into almost any drug store
and buying your beer or other favorite
drink by the glass or bottle without
leave or license of prohibition. The
brcweries of the state still run as for
merly and about the only difference
there seems to be living under prohibi-
ton or license, that under the first the
state receives no revenue, and in SO far
as this Is the case has no means of reg
ulating the traffic, which is practically
free whisky"

Troubles in Arabia.

BERLIN, June 23.-Dr. Edward Gia-
ser, the well-known German traveller,
who has frequently visited Arabia, cx-
ploring the less known regions, and
who once accompanied the Turkish
soldiers in campaign against the in
surgents in Yemen, says that the pres
ent revolt there is due to foreign influ-
ence. The doctor recalls the fact that
three years ago he met ut Alden, on
the Red Sea, French and Russian ennis
saries who were instigating the native
chiefs against the English. The at.
tempt then failed, owing to British
vigilance. DIR. Chaser believes that
now the French are encouraging the
rebels, the republicans having long
coveted footing i'm Arabia Felix.

poIitlcs Quiet,

Politics, otherwise, are quiet. The
much talked of fight between Governor
Mellette and Senator Pettigrew over
the senatorial toga, has been denounced
as myth by both alleged participants.
The governor not only denies the fact
that he is candidate, but announces
that he is forever done with political
life and will take q seat in the back
ground as soon aS lis term expires. 1t
is not stated whether Pettigrew is of
the same mind. but it is probable that
the senator would as soon think of re-
firing from games of draw as TO re-
nounce politics.

The Cyclone at Sutherland.

SUTHERLAND, June 26.-A cyclone, or
rather four or FIVE cyclones of no small
dimensions, struck Sutherland Tues
day evening, June 23, at about 8
o'clock, and lasted for nearly two
hours. The wind was blowing from
the east, but the storm came from the
west, the cyclone forming about two
miles west of town. 1t first struck III.
A. Peck's place, tore down his barn
arsi windmill, and tore his smaller out
buildings to pieces. From there it
passed east and completely destroyed a
house and barn for j. j. Vulgamott,
moved l.. J. Prices house from the
foundation. deroofed house for l.. ID.
Cobb, blew down and completely de-
stroyed the Catholic church, capsized
house for DIR. Stearns and wrecked ten
or twelve residences and as many more
barns in the east part of town.

Bishop Vincent's Troubles.

New YORK, June %. - Friends OF
Bishop John ii. Vincent, the noted ora.
tor and evangelist of the Methodist
Episcopal church, give an emphatic
denial To the current stories that his
health is such that he may be compelled
to retire altogether from the ministry.
The truth Is, they say, that he has been
confined to his house by an attack of
bronchitis since the meeting Of the
bishops in May, and has been compelled
to cancel all his engagements for two
months. Absolute rest, however, il
expected to result in speedy and per.
manent cure.

Hired to KIN the Czarowjtcb.

CHICAGO, June 23.--G. Waterman, a
member of a mercantile firm of Yollo-
homa and London, who is here, en-
route from San Francisco to New York,
told a reporter a wicrd story concern
ing the attempt to assassinate the ear
owitch of Russia in Japan. lie says it
was not because of the desecration of
the sacred temples The czarowitch
had accepted an invitation to visit
great noble at Toxic On the way
there he yielded to the opportunities
of another noble To visit him first. His
Toxic host received this as an insult,
and hisowrath was so intense that he
employed the assassin, and the result
of the mans work was heralded to the
world as the deed of religious fanatic.
Mr.. Waterman says the czarowitch
sent dispatches TO the czar by three
messengers travelling in different
routes. The one that came through
the United States was on the same
steamer with Waterman. The train
being delayed by wreck he stopped
over at Denver and never resumed the
journey. The belief is prevalent among
his steamer acquaintances that the
young Russian had been assassinated
Waterman further asserts that other
messengers have also been put out of
the way by cmissaricS from Japan, al
though he does not give his source of
information.

LONDON, June ga dispatch from
Calcutta states that war is threatened
in Asia between the French and
Siamese. The Annamities, who are
tributary to France, have already came
to blows with Siamese troops on the
bank of the Mekong, and the Siamese
are engaged in ravagiug the territory
claimed by the French to be within
their jurisdiction. Nothing has been
heard of Nj. Pavie, u French officer
who, with party of assistants, was
engaged in adjusting the boundary
line, and strong apprehension is felt
that he may have fallen n victim TO
Siamese hostility. Should such bc the
case direct hostilities between France
and Siam are more than probable,
as the Siamese feel but
little disposed to make any conces-
sions. German and English influences
are powerful in Siam, and the Germans
hold valuable contracts that would be
disastrously affected by war. The
king of Siam, however. is believed To- be
desirous of peace. and has ordered his
troops on the frontier To abstain for
the present from any aggressive
course.
From Constantinoplc comes the news
that the porte refuses TO be intimidatcd

side of the Greeks. The French am
