The following from the Rapid City
Journal of the 10th inst. would indicate
that the fences which our populist friend
Freeman Knowles, candidate for con-
gress, put up on this side OF the river are
sadly out OF repair:
The POLITICAL fences constructed by
Freeman Knowles, editor of the Dead
wood Independent, and populist candi-
date for congress, in the eastern portion
Of the state are down and sadly in. need
of repair, to judge by a statement made
by that gentleman to q reporter last
evening. He said he was called TO the
cas- side OF the river Unexpectedly yes
terday and that he may remain there up
to election day az the situation is not all
that his party could wish. It is to be
hoped this gentleman will fall under a
landslide OF such magnitude that his
friends will not undertake the work of
rescue. He and his party have already
done enough damage to the credit of this
state and respective communities, and
will require several years Of bard labor
to over come.

BIsH EsHER. BISHOP BOWMAN
with o variety of incidents both disgust
ing and amusing. The Evangelical AS
ISOLATION of German Professionals was
started by Jacob Albrecht, a German
Lutheran of Pennsylvania, In 1900 and
has about $50, 600 members, with 2, 900
churches and /, 100 ministers. 1t has a
publishing house in Cleveland. a theo-
logical institution at N~apiersville, Ills,
and colleges at other places, and the IT,
ties to all these and all the churches are
more or less involved in the many suits
In various states.
There were three bishops-Thomas
Bowman, J. J. Esher and Randolph
Dubs, and the fight stood two against
one, with Dubs the one. The Dubsites
say the fight began 90 years ago in q
personal quarrel between Bishop Esher
Of the Chicago see and Presiding Elder
Huestler Of the Elgin district. The Bow
NANTES declare that it began in Japan
in a quarrel between their missionaries.
Bishop Esher went there, investigated
and recommended the recall OF Superin-
tendent Hartzler. The latter's friends
Mt home denounced the bishop, and he
talked back" His son was sOn-in-Iaw
of Bishop Bowman, and SO things were
in good shape for a first class row.
Bishop Bowman was finally condemn
ed by a conference and deposed. He de-
MED the validity Of such action and at
tempted 10 preside at the Des Moines
conference. The trustees looked the door
in his face, and he and those who sup
ported him organized another confer.
ence in the open air amid falling snow.
Bishop Esher was also condemned and
deposed, but denied the authority Of the
tried body. Then the other side took q
hand, and Bishop Dubs was condemned
and deposed for Immoral and unbe-
coming conduct, SO the church was
bishopless. The conference, which should
have cured the defect, split, and then
lawsuits began for the churchproperty.
10 has dragged on for many years, but
the court has ruled for the Esher and
Bowman party, and the Dubsites IN
organizing another church.

A case similar to the one Lake county
became involved in last year in regard to
assessing merchandise shipped in here
by the carload by non-residents and re-
tailed out again after the assessment
had been made up, is being tried in the
United States court at Sioux Falls. The
Minneapolis firm OF Greggs, Cooper &
Co, a Wholesale grocery house, shipped
several carloads OF sugar from New
Orleans into Sioux Falls and retailed it
throughout the state. Minnehaha
county assessed 1t s24 per carload which
the firm refused to pay and the matter
has been carried into the United States
court. A decision is net expected until
next week.

states that the Sgd Dakota Ekko oil
Sioux Falls, the leading Scandinavian
paper of the state, had bolted Sheldon
for governor and mad endorsed J. A.
Ward, the democratic nomiLee, and that
it had urged all Scandinavians to vote
for Ward. The item is a wilful mis-
statement of the facts and the position
of the Ekko. In answer to a Scandinav-
ian correspondent at Ysnkton, who had
suggested bolting Sheldon, the Ekko
recited the circumstance of q committee
of Scandinavian Legislators calling upon
Gov. Sheldon with a recommendation
for the appointment OF certain Scandi-
navians to office, which the governor did
not see proper to appoint, as he nc doubt
had t. do in the case OF dozens. OF other
applications whether Scandinavian or
not, and the Ekko in referring to it
simply attributes 'the governors mis-.
take" TO the fact that he was not a poll
tician. But after reviewing the situa-
too, the Ekko concludes with these
manly and patriotic words that should
strike home, locally as we'll as in state
politics, to many who are not Scandi-
navians:
"The state government as a whole has
never been more praisew orthy-never
have the state officers practiced greater
economy. When, therefore, an honored
subscriber in Yankton in the last num-
Der Of the Ekko advised the Scandinav-
ians in South Dakota to vote for Ward,
the democratic nominee, we do not be-
lieve that advice TO be wise or prudent.
MIR. Ward will not be elected, and a
vote for him will be a vote for the free
thinker Howe, which this same sub
scriber rightly regards as so objection
able as not to be thought Of. But be-
fore all it should be remembered that

Apropos Of denying interviews a
Chicago correspondent had an expe-

several years ago. The mayor had
given the information requested, and
then getting confidential gave o great
deal more of a much greater interest.
But he put the seal of secrecy ON the
newspaper mans lips regarding the
unasked for information and added:
"If you give me away, | shall do
what General Grant once threatened
to do. Grant was on his way around
the world. He was in the carriage
with me riding in the parade in Chi

A Bearded Owl FROM Cape Horn.

Captain Taylor of the Reaper has
a large stuffed owl in his cabin
which was caught off Cape Horn.
The owl could not stand the change
of climate, and 1t weakened and died
in the equatorial regions. The ships
carpenter stuffed it in an artistic
manner, and now the bird adorns the
Reaper's after cabin.
This owl differs from the rest of
it's kind in having hair on it's face
instead Of feathers. The hair very
much resembles whiskers and gives
the bird a patriarchal look. The
crew tell many stories of the owls
sagacitya and of the tricks they taught
it. One night it escaped from its
cage in the carpenter shop, climbing
through the window into the cap
tain's room, and perched ON the foot
of his bed. When all was quiet on
the ship and Captain Taylor was
sound in slumber, the owl began an
unearthly ~screeching. Il may be
imagined that it created a com1no-
ton. The bird had never exhibited
its voice before. and the watch at
tributed the yells to some nautical
demon who unbidden had come
aboard the ship. Captain Taylor is
not at all snperstitious, but never
theless he lost no time in striking q
light, and with his revolver in hand
he started TO investigate. OF course
he very soon found that the bearded
fowl was responsible for the rurnpus.

The farmers of America have lost
more than s239,00O,O0o from their home

The same effect has been felt ia the
two great staples imported into this
country. The treasury statistics show
that the per capita consumption OF SUI
gar was 63.5 pounds 10 1892 and 63.4 in
1893. The reduction was L pound per
capita, or 6,750,000 pounds, valued at
$337,5O0 The per capita consumption
Of coffee was 9.63 pounds in 1882 and
S.25 pounds In 1893. The reduction was
l.3S pounds per capita, or 93,15O,0Oo for
the American people, and this was val

great domestic staples and the two great
imported staples of America and $685.
90l, $50 worth of food product was taken
from u American consumption in one
year after the free traders secured con
troll OF the government. The statistics
for 1894, when compiled, will no doubt
make as bad, il not worse, showing
when compared with 1892. There has
been less work, a greater reduction in
wages, and necessarily more economy in
living.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1894-09-02
What Causes the Haziness ?

Much speculation has been INDUCED in
as to the cause of the haziness which has
SO greatly obscured the sun during the
last week or more. The following Is an in
teresting article on the subject from the
Washington Post. Mr.. +. w. Adams. a
Chicago smoke-nspector, was interviewed
by that paper. We quote:
"Mr. Adams said that the prevalent
idea was that the haze was caused by the
forest-fires now raging in the Northwest,
but this could hardly be possible. in the
face Of the fact that the atmosphere IL
couded as far west as the Pacific Slope,
and as far south as Memphis, Tenn,
covering a distance Of at least million
square miles. and it is hardly possible
that fires covering no more than 800
square miles could affect the whole coun.
try in this manner. II fires were raging
all over the country, 1t might account
for the general haziness OF the
atmosphere, but there must be some other
cause, some natural phenomena n, that
produces the murky appearance OF the
sky.
Some years ago the same phenomenon
was noted, but that was caused by the
earth passing through the tail of comet.
The present haze may be caused by the
same state Of things, or by some equally
strange action of nature.
"Mr. Adams said that at Chicago and
all over the great lakes the haze was SO
dense that navigation was almost impossi-
BILE, and that the lake-boats were running
aground even at the entrances OF the
ports. Scientists may In time be able to
account for the strange haze, but at
present it is a matter Of pure conjecture"
The haziness that prevails in the West
during the Indian summer has been at
tributed to the prairie-fires, which so
often burn the dry or drying grass at
that time Of the year.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1894-09-02
virginia and England.

The following letter was 10, warded 10
the Dispatch by friend residing at
waverly, Va, who makes the comment
that what Is needed is more practical
work and fewer resolutions" with refer
ence to securing desirable immigrants for
the South.
or course practical work" &c essential.
but the public meetings and conventions
held in New York, Washington. and else
where are useful in their way. They
certainly advertise the South throughout
this country. and what Is more. they
make plain to our own people their duty
In the premises. They will. however.
fall to accomplish the best results unless
they are followed up by practical work"
The immigration convention which Is to
be held In Richmond during the Fair In
October will. we hope. adopt scheme
OF organisation which will embrace every
county and city In the Commonwealth.
and inaugurate work which will be both
practical and successful.
We observe that the Londoner who
writes to our Waverly friend states that
there is obtainable In that city no printed
matter setting forth the advantages Of
Virginia for English settlers, He. there
fore. recommends that suitable matter BE-
printed and distributed. and particularly
urges that II should include letters from
Englishmen now resident In Virginia
This Is in line with the courrs that the
Dispatch has long advocated.
We can secure desirable settlers orly
by and with tho help OF those newcomers
who have found happy homes amongst
