How They Fixed 1t.

From Life: During the siege OF
Vicksburg an important artillery po.
sition had been assigned to battery
commanded by Maj. Schwartz, a Ger.
man, attached to Gen. Grants com.
mand. Late in the day, while Grant
was in his tent receiving dispatches
from the front, German orderly
made his appearance, earnestly in
quiring for "Zhineral Grant," After
much parley, his hearers, being con-
vinced thath business with the gen.
eral was important, admitted him to
the latter's tent, where he made the
announcement: "Schwartz's bathery
ish took!n "Well." said the general,
calmly, "did you spike the guns?''
"What." shrieked the little German,
"schpike dem guns? Dem new guns?
Wy, it would schpile 'em!" "well.
what did you do:" said Grant, impa-
tiently. "Vy, we took 'em pack

POLITICAL.

Democrats elected the whole city
ticket at Jerseyville, ILL.,, by a SUBJ
stantial majority.
The republicans of Peoria, ILL.,,
elected Philo b. Miles for mayor,
over John Warner by over 1900 ma
jority.
The second trial for the election of
eleven representatives and a senator
from Providence, r. L., resulted in
the election of the entire democratic
ticket by majorities varying from q
to $50. The democrats will be able
to organize the house.
The election in Hot Springs, S. d.,
resulted in a victory for the Peoples
Reform party which elected four out
of five members of the council and
six out OF eight members of the
school board, and the school
treasurer. The women turned out in
full force and voted for school officers.
The result means the building of a
1926, 900 school house and substantial
Improvements throughout the city.
Elections throughout Illipois last
week we're mainly between the saloon
and anti-saloon elements, and the
vets had the best of it. In several
places, however, there was strife
between the two political parties. In
Monticello the republicans had their
own way, while Galena went demo-
cratic. Ottawa and Decatur went
democratic. Baris went solidly re-
publican, as did Belvidere: Minonk
going democratic. Freeport has !,
new republican mayor. and the
independent ticket triumphed in
Alton.
For the first time in the history of
L.adville and of Coloradoa a municipal
government is lnaugurated under the
control of the populist party. Last
week Mayor Nicholson was inaugu-
rated, and the populists are in com
plcte control of the city affairs. In
lengthy address the mayor am
nounced long series of reforms to
be instituted, including new methods
of dealing with the drink question
and a cutting down of expenses.
Although Colorado went strongly for
Weaver last fall, Leadville was the
only city in the state to keep in line
for the third party in municipal
elections.

The Flag Come. Down.

The stars and stripes, which for two
months have floated from the gov
ernment building at Honolulu have
been hauled down and the remaining
forces from the United States cruiser
Boston sent aboard the ship.
Nothing Indicative OF American
authority remains in Honolulu, save
Minister Stevens and Commissioner
Blount. A report that Commissioner
Blount would order the flag down and
the protectorate abolished, got abroad
on the night of March 81, preceding
the day of occurrence. 1t created
among the American party a feeling
of CONSERVATION, not altogether
unmixed with indignation. This was
due to the fact perhaps that Blount
maintained Chinese wall about the
purposes of his mission and satisfied
neither side as to whether he came as
an envoy to investigate or a minister
to negotiate.
On the afternoon of March 81, Blount
had a lengthy aud secret conference e
with President Dole and the cabinet
at which he notified them of his
intention to declare off the pro.
tectorate established by Minister
Stevens February l6. 1t is under.
stood he gave as a reason that the
Washington administration did 1t
regard the protectorate as necessary,
and further, itwas incompatible with
any diplomatic negotiations between
the two countries. The United
States, however, would brook nc
hostile interference in Hawaiian
affairs by any foreign power.
Conscious of their strength, in View
of the latter assurance, the pro.
visional government, though some.
what reluctantly, acquiesced in the
commissioners decision and prepared
to order out their forces to maintain
the peace and quiet, which had con.
tinued almost unbroken during the
protectorate.

son. just before Wards death,
Robertson poured out some medicine
in glass and offered it to his friend.
Ward said: "My dear Tom, 1 can't
take that dreadful stuff" "Come,
come," said Robertson, urging him
to swallow the nauseous drug,
'there's a good fellow! Do, now, for
my sake; you know would do any
thing for you." "Would you?" said
Ward, feebly stretching out his hand
to grasp his friends, perhaps for the
last time. 81 would, indeed" said
Robertson. 'sThen you take IT," said
Ward. The humorist passed away
but few hours afterward.

Successful Brain Surgery.

Cincinnati Enquirer: One of the
most remarkable operations in the
surgical annals of Cincinnati was
performed at the Good Samaritan
hospital recently by DIR. Connor
The patient. Joseph ATchdeacon. a
young man of Maysvillc, Ky, was
restored from veritable living death
to complete possession of his mental
faculties by an operation which
occupied less than an hours time.
Young Archdeacon's condition was
due to fracture of the skull and
serious accompanying injury of the
brain itself, which he received by an
accident about six weeks age. He
was walking along the street in
Maysville when a stone. thrown at
another man. stuck him on the side
of the head with terrific force, laying
open the scalp and knocking him
senselcss. Fragments of the skull
imbedded themselves in the brain.
and large section of the skull was
depressed. The interference which
this wound caused with the functions
of brain gave rise to the most
extraordinary symptoms in the case.
Two days after the accident young
Archdeacon was fully conscious and
apparently improving rapidly, but
the power of speech had absolutely
left him. by gestures he managed to
make his wants known. Several
weeks ago he was brought to the
Good Samaritan hospital for treat
ment. Since his arrival he has
improved Slightly in some respects,
but paralysis has shown signs of
becoming more general. To save his
life it was necessary that the difficult
operation of trepaning should be
performed, and that the fragments of
bone should be extracted from the
patients brain. The operation has
now been performed. Before the
patient was taken to the operating
room, DIR. Connor told his sister, Miss
Mamie Archdcacon, that the outcome
of the work of the surgeons was more
likely to mean death than cure.
The operation was absolutely neces-
sary, but it was the most hazardous
in surgery. The work of the surgeons
occupied an hour. A circular section
of the SKULL was cut out and the
depressed bone was raised. The
fragments of the bone imbedded in
the brain were extracted and the
wound was carefully dressed with
antiseptics. When the patient
revived from the effects of the
anasthetic a most remarkable change
had taken place in his condition.
He could talk almost naturally, and
the paralysis had lessened to such an
extent that he could move the arm
which had been paralyzcd for weeks.

Don't Like rh. Canadian Northwest.

Don't Like The Canadian Northwest.
G. L. Coutts writes from Sheho
Lake, to the Mellette Tribune: It
is wOnder-yes, a miracle that,
the people of these frozen up regions
are alive to tell that spring is actually
approaching-so we think. But as
yet mercury still claims its icy bed
of 40 below. 1t is claimed by good
authority that mercury fell to 80
below during the winter, which set
tied upon us here in the midGle of
October, 1892.
Snow fell on the 10th of October,
and has continued. to snow at inter-
walls during the winter till it would
average from 2 to feet on the
level, and some 10 to IL feet in the
ssboomer's" brush.
The very destructive prairie fires
late in the fall, which consumed
the feed of many farmers, has been
great hindrance to the welfare of
the stock: the scarcity of hay has.
been the means by which some have,
lost nearly al, their cattle. Cattle
here and in Fishing Lake, Round
Plains and Pleasant Plains districts
have died Off by the half-dozen
head. Not only at these last named
places was there scarcity of feed;,
but prevailing weakness that
seemed to strike cattle down. The
country is not prosperous at these
last named places. and the loss of
their stock is a serious one to the
average farmer.
This colony is in a fair way to
either make or lose it's all, which
may be judged by the reports 1
shall submit in the near future.
The railroad that was promised by
the officials in Winnipeg and agents
in Aberdeen is not likely to be built
the coming summer.
The immigration to this country
will not be nearly as brisk this spring
as it was in the spring OF '92. We
doubt very much whether there will
be any immigration here from South
Dakota this spring. The Sioux
reserve is much richer in soil and
better adapted to the intending set
tiers than this cold latitude. Only stop
to think, you who are contemplating
coming here, list to these facts.
Dakota lies between latitudes II deg.
and 40 deg. north latitude, and this
section of Assiniboia lies in 81 deg.
north latitude which brings Sheho
six degrees farther north. Taking
as our basis of calculation, and
allowing 60 statute miles for one,
degree we find this colony 414 miles
north of Mellettc and cold materially
increasing every fourth of degree
north. We do not say our figures
are entirely correct but they will
show comparison.
The question will undoubtedly
arise do ''I' like the country here.

but / do say. and this without,
malice, that South Dakota is the
place to make farming pay. Do not
leave a good thing, you that own 100
acres in the James River valley are
better off than to own $40 acres in
Manitoba. You are to be congratu-
lated fol your push, pluck and energy
in sticking to South Dakota in the
trying years ended. The average
farmer in Dakota has not the .shard

of some. He is independent to some |

travels.

Chile is now undoubtedly the most
formidable military power in South
America. 1t has just made an
arrangement by which it will probably
at no distant day absorb the remnant
of Bolivia. Bolivia was compelled to
cede to Chile it's most valuable
territory at the close of the war in
1850, the whole sea coast, leaving
Bolivia an inland country. Now by
treaty Bolivia puts it's army under
the control of Chile, which will
manage its organization and appoint
its officers. 1t means practically the
ultimate annexation of Bolivia.
Chile is the most warlikc of the
South American countries, and the
late civil war has given it a fine
military organization and intensified
the military spirit. 1t has Il strong
navy. and there is today no South
American country which could stand
against the Chilean onset.
A desperate attempt is now being
made bv certain parties to implicate
Senator's Washburn and Davis in the
alleged timber depredations ON the
Red Lake Indian reservation and in
other sections of northern Minnesota.
This indicates that politics is to play
star part in the investigation that
is likely to be conducted by the in
terror department. The move to
implicate Washburn and Davis seems
to be fiimsy one.

The Rural says advertisers are claim
ing the Dorset sheep to be dogproof,"
and asks if this is so. 1t surely is not
true, and, what is more, the men who SO
advertise know. it is not true. At the
same time the Dorsets are well supplied
with horns, and these are an evidence
that they know how to use them, which
is very true. They are extremely pug
nacious; not only do they fight among
themselves, but they are ready to give
the shepherd Ely poke if provoked. AS
consequence they are quite ready to go
for dog, and are much more able than
other breeds to defend themselves from
attack. Especially is this true of an old
Dorset eve with lambs by her side. Still
they are by 10 means dogproof. as the
owner will find to his sorrow who uses
the word of these advertisers and provides
no measures to protect his sheep from
