South Dakota Display,

Col. Brown has just returned

the work on South Dakota's build
ing and found it satisfactory. The
building is nearly completed, and
though small Is one of the most at.
tractive on the grounds. 1t will
cost complete about 3d. ZOO. Col.
Brown believes that the legislature
will appropriate $40, 900 or $50, 900
for the exhibit and this will make
the showing quite the equal in
beauty and variety of any other dis
play. Thirteen of the fourteen
windows have been taken by as
many cities and several are making
very elaborate stained glass designs.
The agricultural exhibit is nearly
complete and a large part of it is
now stored in the state fair building
MAJOR Colin is collecting samples
OF soil in various counties-he takes
a section = yard wide and five feet
deep showing sod, soil and sub-soil
and encloses it in a glass case. The
Black Hills have agreed to take
care OF the mineral exhibit and it
will doubtless be superb. The
quarry owners are soon to be called
together at Sioux Falls to arrange
for a display of stone. Altogether
the Colonel thinks the outlook is
very bright Great West.

HERE'S A HoWDY-Do.

A question Of thrilling interna-

before the Paris courts. 1t is no
less than a question of precedence
between south Dakota and the
Dutch in the divorce business. A
Holland court granted divorce tc
the Chevalier De Steurs and a South
Dakota court granted one TO the
chevalieress. Now the two high
contracting parties to this dlsunion
have met on the supposedly neu.
trail territory of France for the pur
pose Of determining whether South
Dakota has auy rights which it is
bound to respect: and vice versa.
The custody Of the child sole and
unfortunate relic of the doubly dis
solved matrimonial ALLIANCES oil the
DE Steurses is the specific point
in controversy Holland said the
chevalier should have the child and
South Dakota gallantly insisted that
the chevalIeress should have him or
her or 1t (the sex being an after
consideration not spread upon the
minutes. Now Paris has been ap-
pealed to like its namesake of Tro-
jan fame to settle the dIscord. The
case has been set for trial on Jan. 22

France has deem frequently refer.
red to by the Independents as q
model for this country's financial
policy, with special reference to the
sub-treasury ignis fatus. A recent
statement shows that the national
debt of France is Sc, 100, 900, 900.
The bonded debt Of this country Is
only 1868, 218, $40, yet the United
States has more than double the
population and wealth, and vastly
greater resources than France.
France does not seem to be such a
land of prosperity and plenty and
sound financial condition as has
been claimed.
