An Error Corrected.

The Sioux Falls Press of Feb. II,
says:
ga gentleman Of this received a
letter from Waco, Texas, yesterday
which stated that there was a good
deal of feeling being worked up over
the shooting ARRAY in which o. w.
Buck, former resident of this city was
one of the principals, resulting, it
will be remembered, in the death of
his opponent conductor by the name
Of Fowzer. The bondsmen, the letter
states. were once men of wealth, but
were not considered so now. This
must be mistake as the Waco DAILY
NEWS received at this office, declares
that they are worth hundred times
the face of the bond"
TIE News will repeat for the bene.
fit of the Sioux Falls readers that the
gentlemen who signed Mr.. Bucks
bond are worth two hundred times the
face of it.

COMING OUR WAY,
The Railroads Courteous to SIosson
Because He and the Exhibit
Cars Give Them Business.

The following is clipped from the
Macon, (Ga.) Telegraph of Feb. 4:
The Texas Exhibit in cars have the
GOOD will of all the railroads, and it
is extended every courtesy by them.
This is not strange, for all the roads
are getting business out of this great
advertising project. 1t is on record
that the Richmond and Danville road
some time since sold 800 tickets TO
Texas in ten days from places in
Tennessee where the cars had been.
SO far no one has been heard from
who has given up Georgia for the
Lone Star State, but the Richmond
and Danville evidently has faith in
the ability of the exhibit to attract
emigration from the fact that it pro-
poses to send Passenger Agent By
thewood into Alabama with the cars,
expecting to handle some Texas bust.

A WARNING NOTE.
The Coal Monopoly in New York
Alarms the World.
RESOURCES OF TIE EVERLASTING
Hills COrHered and IL is Time TO
stop and Thtpk---Such Monopol.
izing of Natural Resources Is Evil
and Dangerous An EditoriaI that
Means Much.

The following editorial appeared in
the New York World last Sunday:
"The consolidation of the four coal
carrying railroads completes a monop
oily which has been In process Of. for.
nation for years.
ut gives to a single organized
group of men practically absolute con
troll of the entire anthracite coal prod.
uct OF America.
1t empowers these men to deter.
mine how much coal the miners shall
take out Of The ground, for how many
days in the year they shall have work
and wages and for how many days
they shall be impoverished by idle
ness.
cit enables them to fix the price OF
anthracite coal without reference to
any law of supply and demand and
without consideration of the cost OF
production.
sit authorizes these men ARBITRARILY
to increase. diminish or completely cut
off the supply of coal to great cities
and to factories that employ thousands
of workmen. In a word, these men
have seized upon the whole of one of
the countrys most important natural
resources. They have made exclusively
their own vast natural wealth which
should minister to the prosperity Of.
all. They have cornered the recour-
ces of the everlasting hills.
THAT such monopoIizing of natural
resources is evil and dangerous there
can be no doubt. Or if one be in
doubt he has only to reflect upon the
inevitable result of doing the same
thing with respect to other resources
that are the common heritage of men.
The logical outcome of the monopo.
listic policy is the concentration in the
hands of the few not only of all
the means of producing wealth, and
the reduction of the rest of mankind
to a slavery not the less than actual
because it is called another name.

these, be more independent of the outside

striking against q dull half-elastic root
that seened-it must have been another de-
iuslon-to move beneath him, and even-so
confused were his senses now-to strike
back aDgrily upon his PROSTATE form. A
pain ran from his elbow to his shoulder and
for moment stung him to full conscious
ness again. There were voices surely-the
voices of their former pursuersl Ii they
were seeking to revenge themselves upon
him for Cato's escape. he was ready for

erect A torch flashed through the wood.
But even al that moment film came over
his eyes; he staggered and fell.
An interval of helpless semi-con scious-
ness ensued. He felt himself lifted by
strong arms and carried forward, his arm
hanging uselesSly at his side. The dank
odor of the wood was presently exchanged
for the free air OF the open field the flaming
Dine-kD0t torches were extiDguished in the
bright moonlight. Peonle pressed around
him. but so indistiuctly he could not recog-
nize them. All his consciousness seemed
centered In the burning, thTobbing pain of
his arm. He felt himself laid upon the
gravel, the sleeve cut from his shoulder,
the cool sensation of the hot and bursting
skin barred TO the night air, and then soft,
cool and indescribable pressure upon "A

other over the field, or struck glitter from
standing rain pools between the little hill
locks. To cross the open field and gain the
fringe OF woods on the other side was the
nearest way TO the quarters, but for the

and the boundary fence and then cross at
right angles In It's shadow would be sa Ter,
but they would lose valuable time. Be-

bright, silver openings and gaps along its
surface that indicated the moonlit field be-

Then he was struck by the fact that these
openings became successfully and regularly
ecllpsed as with the passing of some Opaque
OBJECTS oehlnd them. 1t was file of men

avoid injuring him personally. in the fear
of possible Federal and political complica-
lions, and he resolved to use that fear to
insure CatO's safety. Placing his hands on
the negro's shoulders he showed him for
ward, falling into a "lockstep" so close
behind him that it became impossible for
the most expert marksman to fire at one
without imperlling the others life.
When half way across the field he
noticed that the shadows seen through
the openings OF the fence had paused. The
ambnshed men had evidently seen the ap-
