The causes ascribcd for the failures are fraud,
inadequate capital, inexpcrience, reckless cred
ns. personal extravaganza, ana, In two cases out
OF the seven, trade depression and unfayorable
circumstances
General trade has not been extraordinary in
volume during the week past. but few dealers
are disposed TO complain, rs twas expected that
the feeling of insecurity growing ont OF the
Eastern failures would induce buyers TO be eau
uous and expcnd less than usual in holiday
goods. The effect OF the stringency upon trade
has not been great as it was feared It, would
be, and confidence in the future, il is believed,

OFFICIALS INDICTED.
GRIEF I'm SOUTH DAKOTA FOR
LOTTERY MEN.

True BILLS Returned Against the Louis
lana Lottery Officials by the Sioux Fails
Grand Jury at the Request of WASH
inrton Ofiicials.
THE United States Grand Jury at
Sioux Falls presented an indictment
against eleven officers of the Louisiana
Lottery Company located at New Or
leans. La. Among the officers indicted
are Gen. Beauregard, Paul Conrad, the
President OF the company, and Joseph
II. Horner, Secretary, while the remain
ing eight are directors. The lndlct-
mcnt carries with it in each case eight
cen counts, which means that there are
eighteen indictments against each OF the
eleven officers. The consolidated in
dctment was brought under the direc-
tions of the Attorney General at Wash
ington. who has been seeking a State
favorably inclined to the lottery law
passed last winter by Congress, and set
tied ,1oon South Dakota from the fact
that the irst conviction ever obtained
was secured in this city in the United
States Court for the State. The several
warrants were issued and mailed to the
United States Marshal in Louisiana,
who will make the arrests and at once
bring the defendants to the court at
Sioux Falls, TO make their plea on the
specific charge that they had trans,
ferred lottery advertisements through
the United States mail.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

DISPATCHES from Camp Edward, Tex,
great success by their last experiment,
bringing a heavy rainfall in the face of
what they considered the most adverse
conditions possible. The result was all
the more gratifying to them. as previ-
0usly they had only succeeded in caus-
ing heavy dew after having kept up
heavy firing for nearly forty eight hours
The dew was described as the heaviest
ever seen in that part of the United
States, but it was not rain, and the last
experiments were undertaken with a
conviction that if rain did not follow.
the attempt to obtain rain by means of
a government appropriation would come
to an end for this year, if not for all
time. The rain did not fall till some
four hours after the crowd had gone
home with the idea that the thing was
failure. Then it raincd for nearly an
hour, at the end OF which time the plu-
viometer showed that half an inch in
depth had fallen. kilograms received
subsequently showed that it had rained
over an area extending about forty miles
to the northwest, 1913 miles to the west,
thirty to the southwest and ten to tif-
teen miles to the west and south. 1t is
stated that just before the firing began
the hygrometer showed but SO per cent.
of (the) moisture (required for satura-
tom, and that at midnight it showed
IS per cent. This is most importan +
scientific fact, if it be one, and undoubt-
edly will furnish the material for much
discussion in scientific circles. The rain
that fell was estimated to be worth at
least $780, 900, the total cost of the effort
being about So, 500, or only half of ]
per cent.
The influx Of Cinnamon into Texas
by way the way of the Mexican border
continues. Not a day passes that one
or two OF them is not arrested by dupty
marshals. Some of them are aware
that they are breaking the law, others
have been deceived by the Mexican i'm
migration agents, and think they have
perfect right to enter the United
States. 1t is this latter class which are
caught. The others are very success
full in evading the officers. During the
past week fifteen have been arrested on
the Texas side of the Rio Grande. The
number which has escaped the deputies
cannot be estimated. 1t cannot be less
than twenty-five. All those Jailed will
be sent back to China via San Fran
cisco.
The Florida Alliance has adopted the
Ocala platform. Senator Pasco, who is
opposed to the sub-treasury scheme and
was member of the state meeting,
voted against it.

Nebraska's Triumphal Train,

The train freighted with the products
of Nebraska's soil is speeding eastward,
and its progress from point to point
along the route is marked by steadily
increasing popular interest. In Illinois
thousands saw and wondered at the
splendid exhibit. In Indiana greater
numbers visited the exposition on wheels
and marvclcd at the display People
who had only heard of this state, but
knew nothing of its exceptional agricul-
tural character, were astonished that so
far from what they deem the center of
civilization there is grown the finest
corn in the world, sugar beets that are
not beaten anywhere on the globe,
fruits that are excellent, and other
products of the soil that compare favor
ably with those of any section of the
country. But it remained for Ohio to
show the greatest honor to Nebraska's
exhibit. 1t is stated that when the train
reached Van Vert, thriving town in a
Prosperous agricultural portion of Ohio,
it was found that the townspeople had
made the occasion a general holiday.
Business was suspended, nearly every
body was assembled at the station to
give greeting and welcome to the west
ern visitors, and the utmost interest and
enthusiasm were manifested.
