New YORK, Oct s.-ColoneI william
F. Cody and the Wild West show are
gone. The great demolisher Of glass
balls rescued the Deadwood stage at
South Brooklyn Saturday night for the
last time this season, and at midnight
the members of his troupe were paid
off and dismissed. Genuine rcpret
marked the cessation OF hostilities, out
although the temptation to prolong the
show was great. the approach of win
ter necessitated u shut down. Colonel
Cody is understood to have Melted
about 5000, 900 on the season. He will
leave for North Platte on Tuesday for
. we'll earned rest. The German,
French, Irish and English ce.valrymen
and the Cossack horsemen will sail at
Dnce for home. and the Indians will re-
turn to their respective res
ervations in accordance with Colonel
Cody's contract with the government.
Many of the cowboys will spend the
winter in New York.
Colonel Cody expects to return with
the old %favorites in the spring, but in
the case OF the Indians, at least, the
Wild West show will never regain its
hold on the popular mind, Tor the red
men are becoming too civilized and too
familiar with the small vices of the
white brother to be interesting.

NEW ARMY RIFLE.
The Successor of the Old Springfield
Death Dealer.

The Successor of the Old Springfield Q
Death Dealer.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-When the wal
department. decided to abandon the old
heavy caliber springfield rifle and arm
the troops with the Krag-Jorgensen
small caliber repeating rifle it was pre-
dicted by the adherents of the old arm
that the new weapon would disappoint
Its friends in its lack of destructive
power.
1t would. they admitted, have a
greater range, but the small, steel bolt
projectile, it was asserted, would bore
a clean Role through a mans body that
would not be as fatal as the large
wound inflicted by the big lead SPRING
field bullet Now all this prediction
has been disproved by experiments
made by the medical staff of the Ger
man army and repeated by our bureau
of information.
The terribly destructive effects of the
new weapon appear strikingly set out
in this report. 1t said that the wounds
inflicted by the small pore bullet. not
withstanding it's diminutive size, are
highly destructive, owing to it's enor-
nous speed OF rotation. which causes
the object struck to be torn with a
radius of four inches.
There are many old veterans carry
ing springfield bullets in their bodies,
but Of the new rifle the report saws:
up to $50 yards u bullet suiling the
neck or abdomen means deatht From
ego to 1000 yards almost q mile) most
serious and in many cases fatal results
are certain to be inflicted. Beyond
1000 yards, the injuries caused re-
semble those inflicted by the round
bullets which were in use before
1860"
Army officers felt hat they had prog
ressed to the line of safe practice when
they adopted the caiiber of 7.62 milf
metres, or q of an inch for their rifles,
In 1892, and they were disposed to crit
lcise the navy department when it
went beyond them and still further
reduced the caliber of their rifles to 9
millimetres, or .236 inches, only a
trife larger than a 20 calibcr pocket
pistol.
But now, in the last report, they
-concede that the tendencies of the best
authorities seems to be towards Il still
smaller c%aliber, some professional man
even asserting hat the oaliber should
not have been larger than 6.5 milli-
metres.
One result of reduction of caliber OF
the greatest value for military pur.
poses is shown by the new navy rifle,
which will shoot point blank up to
725 yards. This mems that at any dis.
lance within two tifths of a mile the
men can shoot accurately without any
allowance for the dropping of the bull
let, and are thus relieved from the
necessity of adjusting their sights for
each range included.

SUGAR IS CHEAPER NOW
The Wilson Bill Has Not Advanced
Prices.
Table Showing That Under the Democratic
Bni 1t IL Two Cents Less Than
Under the Mckinley
Measure.

WASHINGTON, Got 6. -. Chairman
Faulkner of the democratic campaign
committee has received the first proofs
OF his campaign slip upon the prices OF
sugar under the new tariff law. The
statement tina the senator had IN prep
aration such q document has caused Its
publication to be awaited with interest
and it has also been sufficient to stir
up a great republican campaign yarn.
The republican committee here
itself interviewed in an afternoon pa
per, u declare that if the price OF sugar
has not advanced 1t has been because
of a deer and dire conspiracy and bar.
gain between the democratic party and
the sugar trust. They claim that on
o of the ditferential allowed on
refined sugar the trust agreed to keep
down the price OF sugar until after the
election.
This story is, Of course, ridiculous.
The failure of sugar to advance in
price al this time is said to be wholly
due to the supply on hand and to h
fact that there lie more than enough OF
the sugar for consumption. In fact,
the inability Of the sugar trust to ad-
vance the price of sugar is said to be
the chief reason for the general clos
ing down of their refneries.
The republican committee evidently
forgets that far greater advantage, &C
crued to the sugar trust under the Nc
Kinley law than under the new tariff
bill, and that it would be much more
to the benefit Of the sugar trust to
vance the price of sugar and injure the
democratic party i'll order to obtain
again the fruitful blessings of Mckin-
leyism.
The weakness of the republican posi-
ton on this point is the very fact that
the Mckinley bill fathered the sugar
trust and made it what it is, and viii
probably silence republican speakers
altogether.
The following is the proof sheet:
HAS the new tariff increased the
price of sugar?"
Official records OF the wholesale
price Of granulated sugar in Philadel-
phia disprove this assertion.
Comparison of prices from the date
of the operation of the Mckinley bill

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Oct 6.-Tha
Shippers and Producers association,

She Sioux Falls Manufacturers and

mortal address to all the Wholesale and
retail dealers In the state urging them
to begin an active campaign to secure
at the coming session of the legislature
some favorable railroad legislation.
Both the republican and democratic
state platforms contain planks favor.
Ing n maximum rate law and the ad.
dress calls on all interested to see

suggested that the members Of the

personal and written pledge of every
candidate for the legislature to tho eff

can to secure the passage OF such u law.
Attention is called to the benefits Iowa
interests have received by temperate
and wholesome legislation on the trans,
portation question and it is argued
that similar results can be secured
for South Dakota if similar eff.
forts are made. The subscribers say
that they ask that no injustice be done

Man Who Introduced Russian Thistle,


YANKToN, 8. D., Oct. s.-The origin
Of the Russian thistle in this country
has been talked about for several
months, but it was only recently that
the man responsible for its introduction
here was discovered. In 1876 Henry
Schatz, o Russian farmer living in
Yankton county, imported some flax
seed from the old country, which he
planted. One thistle grew that year in
his FAX field, and his neighbors wanted
him to destroy it. Hs said mo let it
grow, and see what it will mount to-"
From this single plant has come the
pest Of the northwestern farmer. There
was not a thistle of any kind in this
state prior to that time. In Russia
this weed is cut when young and
packed away to feed to stock during
the winter,
