Novel Idea.

Don e. Needham, ''the gentlen an

turned from a lecturing tour in Iowa.
Don conceived the idea that 10 get

to GO among them and tell the people
Just what We had here in the way of
inducements. He filed a satchel with
the different varieties of corn, wheat,
oats, barley, etc, ard went to the
vicinity OF Kingsley, Iowa, where he
delivered five lectures in as many
country school houses, which were
attended by over 200 farmers. Mr..
Needham said he made a good many
friends for South Dakota and is con-
fident that by next spring he can
bring a colony OF twenty families to
this state. At the close Of each lee
ture he was beseiged with inquiries
in regard to this country. This isthe
kind of advertising that pays and
brings into the state good settlers.
South Dakota is now in good condi-
ton to 60 before the world and estab-
lish her claims as a grain producing
state and in another place wegiye the
figures to back IN the assertion. The
state has borne the burden of hard
times which has been diEned in the
ears OF her people from every direc-
tion, but the grim spectre OF want has
been driven from the state in disgraee
and health and prosperity reign tri-
umphant, a fitting crown for South
Dakota's greatness. 1t has been a
difficult matter to reinstate Il COM
monwealth in the faith of eastern
people. and now that il is accom-
plished long may the tidal wave roll.

used to tell an amusing story.
The fourth act. which, as originally
written. dealt with the execution OF
the king, was not approved OF by Hen.

The victim was Ernest Kunneth. an
aged German capitalist, WHO lived By

excellent reputation as a good citizen
and warm hearted, genial man.
Kunneth always kept considerable
money IN the house, but none OF II

nit the crime for robbery, but to
gain possession Of some documents
which the old man had in his posses

contained all the deeds OF the old
mans property, his notes and mort
cages. Kunneth had in his posses
sion some valuable papers involving
the title OF an estate in Wurtemberg,
Germany. in which he was interested.
These could not be found
and it is supposed that they too We're
carried away. Kunneth said several
montas ago that parties. whosename
he did not give, were endeavoring to
obtain these papers from him, but
that he had declined to give them up,
and would hold them while he lived.
He kept his word, and it is supposed
that he lost his life in the attempt TO
retain them.

h French copquss, of Dahomey.

The succession Of victories and the
rapid approach of the French in Da-
honey to Benhanzin's capital are
owing TO the military skin OF Colonel
Dodds, the mulatto commander OF
the army Of France in this part of
Africa. Colonel Dodd's mother was
a full blooded Senegalese negro. His
ancestry on the fathers side is evil
IDENTIFY partly English. He is familiar
with the language OF the Senegalesc
and the mode Of warfare OF the wild
black tribes in west Africa.
This has given him a great advan-
tage in his campaigns. He Is a man
Of undaunted courage and persever-
ence, and will win lasting distinction
in this war against BENJAMIN.. He
IS besides a great ~favorite with his
brother officers. Evidently there is
no color prejudice in the French
army. Moreover, here is u maj OF
.,egro blood who possesses command
ing military qualities
What the French viii probably do
in Dahomey after they have closed in
IN Behanzin is thus outlined b. the
Paris correspondent OF the London
Times:
The French strategy will probably
be quite different from what Behan-
yin expects. Instead Of Selling on
the capital and advancing beyond,
which might be dangerous, Colonel
According to the Official reports at
Dodds will most likely content him
SET with occupying Cana. the suburb
below Abomey, and the royal burial
place. If this plan is carried cut
BeLanzin viii lose his religious pres
tige, his soldiers will desert and sui
eide viii be his only resource.
The French would then cut up Da-
honey into three or four principali-
ties or provinces, each under a man
chosen or approved by France, and
under the supervision OF a French
resident. This mild kind Of protect
crate would be preferred, as France
has no desire TO annex Dahomey or to
incur fresh embarrassments. She
feels that the conquest OF Dahomey
is scarcely worthy OF the efforts Of a
civilized nation, for European rela-
tions with that region began with a
traffic in slaves. and that traffic can
not even now be said to have entirely
disappeared.

most important discovery Of all was
the adoption Of steam for propelling
vessels. Robert Fulton showed man
kind how steam could drive a ship
through the water at a rate that
would have made the people Of a hun
dred years ago spin around in their
heads. a physician in the United
States showed doctors how they
might deaden consciousness tempo
rarily by ether or other anaosthetics
and perform the most terrible surgi-
cal operations without a patients
knowing it. The application of
anaesthetics alone has saved already
many thousand lives and so much suf-

the American DR.. Morton.

which the Old World must thank the
United States. But most glorious
and inspiring OF all is the gift Of thi,
republic itself proclaiming to the
ages that a nation can govern itself
and become the richest and most
powerful on the earth without either
king, car, shah, emperor or titled
nobility.
