h South Dakota Ekko Getting Ready "a
Attack the Governor.

Sioux FALLS, s. D., Oct lathe
sgd Dakota Ekko, the only republican
Scandinavian paper in the state, 10 said
to be on the verge of boiling Governor
Sheldon on the ground that he has
,nubbed and ~insulted the Scandinavia
ans of the state. This feeling is Of long
standing, growing out of Governor
Sheldon's refusal to make appoint
ments demanded almost universally by
ieading Scandinavians. The Ekko OPP
posed the nomination Of Sheldon. but
.ince that time has said nothing on the
subject. In the last issue was a letter
from fankton severely roasting Shell
don, but the Ekko made no comments.
The company which owns the paper
will meet in a few days to determine
hem matter and II is said that it Is prob
lble the Ekko will take down Shell

Yin a vigorous and bitter campaign

HARRISON At HUNTINGRUNG
Over 5000 People Greet the ex.
President Today.
His Address Upon the Tariff and the
Depression---The Times of Now
and Two Years Ago Are
Discussed.

HUNTINGBURe. Ind, Oct. 13.-General
Harrison addressed an assemblage of
over 5000 people here today. The gem
eral said in part:
"1here can be no question in the
world 10 any hi who VIII think that
q tariff bill embracing several
thousand articles. all Of the great
staples of m and Of the
mill. does affect the entire business
of the country. 1t may affect
1t favorably or unfavorably. Now. my
countryInen, we had two wears ago
good times. know some of our dem
ocratic friends are trying to make il
appear hat they were not so very good
and that the situation has not been SO
very lad. You know whether two
years ago things were not really in a
highly prosperous condition in this
country, and you know what we have
gone through since.
what is the tariff question after all?
II is in It's essence this question,
whether we will retain our own mar.
kets so far as we can SO that the things
we wear shall be made by American
hands in America, or whether
we will SO frame our tariff
Hat the things we wear shall
be made 10y English hands in England
or by German hands in Germany. l do
not Doubt at all hat if we were to re.
duce wages in the United States to the
same level that prevails in European
countries we could produce many
things in competition with them.
II do not say that the tariff Is the
wheat or the price of anything else.
That would be an ~exaggeration. The
disadvantage the farmer Is under
many acres of wheat the farmers are
going to SOW this year. He cannot tell
what the foreign harvests will be.
These things affect favorabiy or un-
favorably the prices, but the point l
want to make Is that the farmer sells
95 per zen of all the produce of his
farm here at home and that
the present market he wants to look
after. If men are getting good wages
they live well. We may think a man
will eat about so much bread anyhow,
but in that we are greatly mistaken.
This past year has shown how largely
the buying w OF our people has
been reduced by reason of the fact that
SO many were out Of employment and
their wages cut off. l leave to
you the thought, this morning,
that as farmers, as merchants, as work.
men in these mines and factories, that
are scattered through your country.
We want to preserve a class of work.
men with wage enough TO live com.
fortably and wages enough to lay by a
little for old age ind give the children q
little better chance than the father had,

sure repose of this grand republic we
love, its people will be happy and con-
tented and the land full Of prosperous

The plague reported as prevailing in
China is described by a correspondent
of the British Medical Journal as pre-
senting all the symptoms of the true
bubonic pest which devastated Europe
in the middle ages. Although extinct
in Europe, this pest has never ceased TO
prevail in China from time to time, and
has also spread from there to Persia
and Asiatic Russia. Europeans are not
affected by it, except the soldiers who
come directly ia contact with it in dis
injecting work. 1t is extremely con-
tagious from person to person, but the
danger from aerial infection is slight,

Oxygen is likely to play an import
ant part in the submarine boat soon
to be built for the navy. 1t has been
found that a comparatively small guam
tity of oxygen from time to time add
mitted to a submarine chamber will
keep the air of such a chamber for
hours in the condition TO sustain human
life. Instead, then, of carrying large
volumes of compressed air In many
heavy metallic receivers, "a single re-
ceiver filed with oxygen may be car
ried. This makes possible an immense
economy of weight aud space.
