Senator pettigrew interviewed.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press, 13: Senator
Pettigrew is frequent visitor to st.
Paul. because it is a mart convenient
to his home. 81 do not think st. Paul
does as much business with South
Dakota as it ought to-" suggested the
senator to Pioneer Press reporter
yesterday. "There is no difficulty in
getting here. 1 leave home at 10 in the
evening and ain here at I in the morn
ing. Then [ leave here at 6:30 in the
evening and get home at 5. With such
facilities st. Paul ought to command
the trade of South Dakota"
''Has business in South Dakota been
affected by the general uneasiness in
the money market?" asked the reporter.
"No," replied the senator. Business
is as good now as it ever is at this time
OF the year. There have been no fail
ures of business firms or banks worth
speaking Of. We have fair wheat
crop, though nothing like as heavy as
it was last year. The corn crop is very
fine: also the flax CROP"
''What is the political outlook?''
"There is no doubt that it will go

Alliance is rather losing its hold; not
that they do not advocate some things

and they, of course, have discredited
the movement and dwarfed whatever
merit it possesses. They are led by a
lot of miserable scalawags looking out
for their own profit.
"Of course there must be merit in a
movement which claims the attention
of SO large number of people, but it
would have been much stronger if it
had not taken up men without regard
tointellect or character. Atpresent it
seems to be a fertile field for the pro-
duction of men of crooked and bad
methods"
"What is your opinion in regard TO
the repeal OF the Sherman act?"
81 haye uniformly refused to express
an opinion upon that subject lately, and

The Blade has anticipated our criti-

which is about the worst typographical
botch ever dlgnified by the endorse
ment of a reputable and influential as

SAFETY DEVICE.
Net to Catch People Who Get In
Front of Street Cars

Boston, July 19-There has been
tested in Boston a new safety device to
prevent people from being run down by
electric or cable cars. The tender. as it
is called, consists of folding steel
frame, covered with stout cord netting
which is attached to the front of tie
car. When an obstruction is seen on
the track the gripman spreads
the net. with the bottom OF
the frame about nine inches above
the track, and so arranged as to
throw any person on the track into the
net, no matter what the speed of the
car may be. In case of child OF a
person lying on the track that the
fender might pass over, a steel scoop is
thrown in front of the wheels. which
prevents tn" wheels from iniuring the
body. In the tests made a dummy of
straw and sand was used, and the
results are stated to have been salts
