If a wealthy man or woman were to

parted were to talk all over town about
the great expense of entertaining their
friends, they would be set down as the

yet the wealthy cities of New York and
Chicago have both been guilty of this
very bad breach of good manners with

OF South Dakotans is to South Dakota.
We all love her. We all glory in her

But the wider duty Of South Dakotans
as Americans is to the nations of the

the AL. during the last campaign but
treated with such eloquent silence by

THREATENED RATE WAR.
Material Reduction In Western Rail
road Fares Confidently Expected.

iodu FsarcS COnnuently lIxpcCteU.
CHICAGO, June l4.-The lines in the
Western Passenger association are un-
easy on account of the threatened re-
duction of rates from the West by the
Great Northern. They induced the lat
ter road to Withhold it's reduction for 8
few days, the original date for their
establishment being last Saturday.
They were in hopes that the Great
Northern would consent to further de-
lay, and several kilograms passed be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul yesterday
inviting the st. Paul lines to be present
at a meeting of the Western Passenger
association, then and there to see if
some way out of the threatened reduc-
tion could not be found The informa-
ton that the Great Northern had
already declared $25 rate from Seattle
to st. Paul was very unpleasant news
and it Knocked the wind out of the pro-
ceedings in the interest of harmony
Quicker Than Lightning.
In the face of this rate it is difficult
to see how rates from the Northwest
can be kept from suffering material re-
ductions. 1t is believed that the North
ern Pacific will meet the cut by bring
ing down its through rate to Chicago.
This will involve the Wisconsin Cen.
trail, member of the passenger asso-
citation, and necessarily the Great
Western as we'll. The Wisconsin Cen
tral has already accepted the revised
passenger association agreement, and,
if it should now cut in on rates, there
would be no end of trouble for the asso-
citation. The revised agreement is now
within one of being adopted, the Min
neapolis and st. Louis being the only
line ont.

General Merritt Orders Company of
Regulars to the Scene of the
Trouble.

ST. PAUL, June 14.-United States
officials are excited over sensational
reports that come from the Leech Lake
reservation. Monday Marshal Dona-
hover was advised by telegram from
Park Rapids that DIR. J. r. Walker, res
ident physician and overseer at the res
ervation, had acciden tally shot an In
dian, and by another telegram from J.
Fl. O'Neil and Fl. A. Walling, M. D.,
that DR.. Walker was held prisoner,

In Danger of His Life.
The situation looked so serious and
the advices came from men who were
so thoroughly responsible that the mar
shal communicated in writing with
General Wesley Merritt, commanding
the department of Dakota, and that
gentleman thought it might be advisa-
BILE to afford assistance. A company
of the Third United States infantry was
therefore ordered to make ready to
proceed as rapidly as possible to the
reservation upon the representations of
the marshal that he could not get his
scattered TO- ce of deputies together to
secure order
The situation looks serious. The
Indians were paid off recently, and the
trouble arises without doubt from their
drinking contraband whisky.

Are SkepticaI.

The explanation of the American off
cials that they merely landed to protect
the canal property and works was con-
sidered subterfuge, for such warlike
preparations as the landing of troops
without warning, placing artillery and
Hotchkiss guns in position, preparing
the place to withstand siege, bringing
to shore large quantity of supplies
and camp equipage, indicates long
stay. Crowds from this city went to
Sonta Fe to see Los Americanitos, as
the invaders are called, and it is feared
that unless some precautions are taken,
or satisfactory explanation is given,
serious trouble may arise.
Demand an Explanation.
A large deputation of citizens has
been chosen to demand an explanation
from the government.
1t was rumored that General Montiel
went to Santa Fe to demand an explain
alton from the American officers there,
but this is not generally credited, as it
is known that the American minister
was closeted with the cabinet from ii
o'clock until nearly L..
There is a report here that the rest of
the Central American governments will
protest against this action of the United
States. A later rumor is that the United
States will withdraw.

the rear of the coach ahead would slide
off to the left. The two would pass
instead of one forcing it's way into the
center of the other. The details OF
the scheme have not been worked out,
nor has it been submitted to practical
carbuilder for criticism. The re-
arrangement of steps, such as would
be necessary, is indicated in the rough
drawing submitted. Some modifica-
ton of the buffer system would also be
required, SO that the ordinary harm
less shocks, when adjacent cars in q
train collide, would not tend to throw
a coach off its truck. If this feature
could be satisfactorily arranged the
idea would probably be practicable and
accomplish a saving of life in great
collisions. AS no patent has been taken
out or applied for, there is n chance for
some bright mechanic to work the
thing up and make what money there
is in tn. Y. Tribune.

step further than other transportation COM
panies when it resolved to show two elegant
cars, especially built for the purpose, con-
tanning samples of products gathered from
the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The company was, no doubt,
prompted to make this display because the
completion of its transcontinental line
made the development of the states named
possible. Had It not been for the enter
prise and pluck Of the originators and man
ayers of the Northern Pacific railroad,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington would still be frontier territories in
habted by Indians and wild beasts, instead
of being progressive and prosperous COM
monwealths. The products exhibited by
the seven states are handsomely arranged
and include all kinds of grams in the straw;
threshed grains and seeds, fruits and ber-
ries; wild and cultivated grasses; ores,
woods, iron and coal; precious metals and
stones hops, tobacco and flax; -four, wool
and fish; tanning bark and tanning acid;

Of fresh apples, pears, plums, cherries,
peaches, prunes, grapes, berries, melons,
roots and garden vegetables will be brought
