Ine rural sports of primitive Hoos1erdom
When the woods abounded with coons
and deer and the streams with fish. A
handful Of spiders imprisoned without a
supply OF lies will soon tackle each 9th
or, and the sport famished descendants
OF Daniel Boone yielded to the tempta-
ton OF hunting their fellow men,
"A much moro ominous phase of Judi
cial self help has now and then alarmed
the conservative citizens of our southern
border states. Events like the auto da
fe OF Paris, Tex, and the subsequent race
riots of southern Mississippi and Geor-
gia reveal the existence of latent pas
sions which "a mere spark may kindle
into devouring flames, and whichin their
revolt against resistance may at any mo-
ment shake the foundations of our social
system" to use the words of representa-
tive southern politician.
No change in the bylaws of ethics will
indeed ever obviate the assertion of that
portentous power, and no plea against
extremes Of Individual suffering has ever
prevailed against the disposition to en-
force the vi1dication of principles sup
posed to involve the welfare of the COM
munity. The Roman republic at the
very time when it protected the small
communities of the upper Alps in the en-
joyment of their municipal freedom sane
toned the utter demolition of the only
city whose prestige could endanger that
of its conquerors, and Charlemagne, the
champion of civilization, ordered the x-
ecution of 1000 Saxon noblemen whose
heroism had imperiled the success of his
mission of culture. Dread and the sense
OF public duty rather than the wanton
love of cruelty steeled the arm of the
Spartan patriot against the rebellious
Helot and the heart of the inquisitor
against the appeals of his victims.
The scene of the Texas auto da fe is a
town rather conspicuous for it's efforts in
behalf of temperance, charity and hui
name education, but the victim of it's
wrath represented the most odious type
of race whose possible usurpation of
power the creoles have come to associate
with the ruin of Caucasian civilization.
Besides, his crime was one that his never
been condoned even in communities that
permit political orators and rival lovers
to spice their controversies with pistol
balls. The frequency of that crime.
moreover, has too clearly demonstrated
the inadequacy of legislative safeguards.
Its perpetrators have too often contrived
to take refuge behind legal bubbles. and
in some OF its phases the explosion IF
popular fury indicated the Titanic force
of the primitive vendetta instinct in its
revolt against pedantry masquerading in
the guise of Justice. F. OSWALD.

Good News From South Dakota.
Especial Correspondence.l

ABERDEEN, S. D., April 20.-I have
spent some little time in travelling
through North and South Dakota recent
ly, and I am strongly impressed with the
changes that have taken place since 1885,.
At that time the Dakotas were beginning
to feel the depression following the
years of "boom" and imitation incident
to the completion Of the Northern Pacific
road in the north and the rapid immigra-
ton in the south. There was no crash
and little distress, but the influx of popu-
lation to a country suited to agriculture,
but with scarcely the scratch Of plan
On hundreds of square miles of its broad
level lands, demanded capital, and the
many young men who had come west
with little but brain, muscle and energy
were forced to look elsewhere for en-
ployment.
The South Dakota of today is on a
much more substantial footing than in
the days of glistening promises and wild
eyed booms. Irrigation in some parts
and the certainty of more regular crops
will make her healthy state. The new
ly opened lands of the Sioux reservation
beyond the Missouri river make room for
large population, but South Dakota is
by no means putting forward the temp
fations OF former years to induce immi-
grafton. She wants capital and offers
safe investment and fair returns for i
The Dakota of the early eighties was an
uncultivated plain, the paradise Of the
real estate Speculation and the boom
shark. Two things work the difference
in the Dakota of the early nineties-viz,
the disappearance of the 3 per cent a
month investment companies" and the
enormous increase in the acreage of
wheat. CHARLES HANscoM GRAY.

During the recent session OF the SUI
preme court at Portland, the case Of the
United States national bank Of Atkinson.
Kan, against Mrs. II. W. b. Connor, wife
of ex Governor Connor was argued
The bank recovered judgment against
building company in which Mrs. Conner
was a stakeholder, and falling to collect.
this suit was brought under the Kansas
law making Il stock holder liable 10 the
creditors of a corporation ia which he
may hold stock. "to an extent equal TO
the amount Of stock by him or her owned.
together with the amount unpaid thereon"
Hon. A. r. Moulton appeared for the
bank and Hon. J. W. Symonds for Mrs
Common. Mr, Symonds contendcd that
the statutes OF the State OF Kansas have
no extra territorial force. If The supreme
court OF Maine assume jurisdiction in this
matter, 1t will be entirely In comfy, and
cannot be demanded A. right.

Last Friday and Saturday were the greatest
days in the history of the quiet but beautiful
town OF Mschias since century ago, when the
hardy seamen OF that port turned out and
wolloped "blarsted Britisher." and won the
first naval victory Of great war.
The occasion was the visit OF the new United
States gunboat "Yachias" for the purpose OF
receiving from the citizens present-a return
for the compliment OF having been named
after the town.
About 800 guests. including the officers of
dinner Hon. J. X. Ames was chairman, and
Rev. 7. J. Wright chaplain, and Hon. Harri-
son Hume OF Boston toast master.
Letters Of regret were received from Hon.
George Walker, George A. Lowell, OF Calai-
Hon. c. A. Boutelle, senator Eugene Hale,
Gen. I. W. Hyde and others. One OF the
most patriotic and apprecistive letters was
sent by Miss Grace A. Means of HYDE Park.

There wss a public reception 70 Governor
Cleave- and the officers OF the "Machias" In
the evening.
The towns gift to the "Machas" was a mas

Insurance Statistics.

The amount of fire insurance written In
Maine for 1892 was slo6, rs, s4S.5l, or
IS .oG5, 366e4 in excess of the amour.
written in 1891, and the largest amount
ever written in Maine by authorized com
panies 10 any one year. The losses ex-
ceeded $1,000 600, the largest sum ever
paid in one year. with the exception Of
1886.
The marine and inland insurance written
in Maine In 1899 amounted to 81. 79I, 66l,
of which s., 597 ,s9i was written by Maine
companies Of other States and countries
This shows loss of s427. 1926, as COM
pared with 1891. The "Lloyds," both fire
and marine, are doing an increasing bust
ness in Maine.
The exact situation of affairs n Maine
to-day, so far as relates to fire insurance,
differs from that of most other States
We are almost wholly dependent upon
outside companies To do our fire under
writing. Less than per cent. of our fire
risks are written by home companies. We
are absolutely without stock Are company
holding charter by virtue by Maine laws
and operating hereunder.
We have about twenty-five mutual fire
companies whose entire combined bust
ness falls below 81 900, 900 in risks written
annually. There are eighty three com
panies of other States now under license
to work In Maine.
The insurance laws of Maine have been
long in force without radical changes in
essential provisions, but there have been
amendments by every legislature, until
they now constitute 4 structure of legal
patchwork not the easiest Of comprehen.
sion, and not adapted In all parts to the
existing order of things.
The present insurance commissioner
suggests that the code should be revised
and modernized by a competent commits
sion in season for next general revision of
the Maine statues. and he also recommends
that the new code should contain a stand
ard fire policy.
