A dispatch from Lyons that
. sad accident has occurred at the Mill
tary Medical school there. M. Jourdan,
who was just about to take one of the
highest medical degrees in the school,
was having q fencing lesson from the
maitre d'armes. when during a vigorous
attack by the pupil a short piece broke
off the end of the masters foil. M.
Jourdan, who was making a lunge, liter
ally spitted himself on the blade. He
went up stairs to his room, fell ON the
bed and died in about an hour, in spite
of all efforts to save him. No blame is
attached to the fencing master, as the
accident could not have happened but
for the violence OF his pupils attack.
M. Jourdan took the first prize for fenc.
ing last year and was training for Q
coming assault at arms.-Foreign Elk.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Lake County Gould Have One for the Ask
ing-What Professor McLouth
Says About It.

President McLouth and Professors
Shepard, Wheaton, Corbett, Phillips and
Winslow, of Brookings Agricultural col.
lege, put up at the Lake Park last night
and returned on the north train to
Brookings this morning. They were re-
turning from holding a farmers institute
at Dell Rapids. To a DAILY LEADER
reporter, President McLouth said they
had had a very successful institute.
Other Institutes arc already planned for
Gettysburg, Faulkton, Redtield, and
even Montrose, just south OF us. In
answer to the question whether one was
planned for Lake county, the Doctor
said: "No; we have not received any
invitation. We go only whore We are
invited and shall keep it up all winter
il we can find places which want our
services. We carry along apparatus to
illustrate by practical test many useful
things in dairying, sugar beet raising,
caring for stock and other every day
lines OF farming. The expense to the
locality OF an institute is simply the
place OF holding the meeting and our
hotel bill. The rest Of our travelling ex-
pense is provided" It would seem as il
our farmers OF Lake county would find
sufficient profit In an institute OF this
kind to warrant them in raising the lit
tie fund necessary to keep these profess
sional gentlemen here a few days. All
that is necessary to make the move a
success is for some one to take the lead
in the matter.

The lofty wall Of Jerusalem and the
massive towers of the citadel are i'm
mediately before us. We are on the
outer slope of Mount Zion, the sanctu-
airy and the abode Of David. The pom
derous blocks which form the lower
strata of the wall might have been
shaped and put in place by some pre-
historic race of giants. More than al
most anything else to be found around
Jerusalem, or within, this wall bears
an appearance of great antiquity. We
can easily believe that it's foundations
were laid in the time Of David, though
its upper portions are unquestionably
modern.
The books vary. One says it was the
work of Sultan Suleiman in the six
teenth century, another that it was
erected much earlier, and my guide, a
most intelligent and we'll informed Jew
Of Hungarian origin, told me that it
was built by the crusaders after they
had got possession, for the purpose OF
protecting the inhabitants against the
rascaIly Arabs, who would ride up in
small parties, rob some rich family and
be OF with their plumber before any
thing could be done to stop them. But,
however this may be, the wall, from
10 to 90 feet in height, fully inclosea

H STATE FAIR.
The Board Of Agriculture Will Meet In
Madison Next Tuesday-A Probable
Permanent Location Proposition.

The annual netting OF the State
Board OF Agriculture at Madison next
Tuesday is not without it's significance.
At this meeting the new officers of the
board are elected, all accounts audited
or settled, and the annual report to the
governor formulated. Their meeting
here is an honor and just recognition of
Madisons's importance as a city in the
state and likewise a courtesy to Mayor
Patterson who has long been a member
o that board. But it also emphasizes
the fact of Madison's central location in
the state and it's availability as a per-
manent location for the state fair ground.
All states sooner or later come to the
conclusion that it is best to locate their
State Fair permanently and South Da.
kota has just about arrived at that con-
clusion. 1t is more than probable that
the present board at it's meeting next
Tuesday evening will make such q reco-
mendation to the state legislature to
change the law with a view to this end.
Many OF the members of the board are
heartily in favor OF a permanent location
and those who have been longest on the
board must see the need of this for the
good Of the fair, but what is OF more in.
terest to the Madison people, many oil
the members of the board and others
directly interested in the success of oul
agricultural exhibitions and their effect
upon outside visitors have suggested
this as the best point for the permanent
location when the law is changed to per
NIT OF it. And this gives as much slgni
ficance as anything can Ito the present
meeting. Madison is central, it is 10.
Gated in that garden spot of the state
which knows no failure of crops, and its
natural and other beauties will always
make a favorable impression upon people
from outside states visiting our state at
the time OF the fair. These influences
count for a good deal in a permanent 10.

grid up for the future.

BISMARCK'S SORROW.
Ru Cnh1a TO tie u1lfted Press.

BERLIN, Nov. 2S. 1S94.-The ''Loka-
lanzeiger'' says that Prince Bismarck
has not personally received any of the
large number cf neighbors, dwellers upon
the Varzin estate, and others who have
called to express their sympathy and
coincidence. Drs. Schweninger and
Chrysander are actively executing the
orders of Prince Bismarck in regard to
the funeral of Princess Bismarck.
The services will probably be held
Friday or Saturday in the castle, and
will be conducted by Minister Schumann
of the Lutheran church in the adjoining
village of Wussow, who has already
conferred with Prince Bismarck in re-
gard to the sermon and memorial speech.
Gardener Knuth is decorating the great
salon of the castle, where the bier has
been placed. Hundreds of kilograms OF
sympathy and coincidence are being re-
ceived by the ex-Chancellor, among
them messages from signor Crispi, Prime
Minister of Italy; Emperor Francis Jo-
seph of Austria, Count Kalnoiky, Prime
Minister of Austria; ex-Empress Fred
erick and Chancellor Prince Won Hohen-
lohe-Schillingfurst.
Prince Bismarck has ordered his saloon
carriage, which was recently repaired
at Stolpe, to be kept in readiness at
the HennermuhIe station, and, the con-
dition of his health permitting, he will
start with the body of his wife Sunday
or Monday and proceed direct to Schoen-
hausen, where the coffin will be placed
in the vault which was only lately built
for the Bismarck family.

CLASSIFIED BIOLOGISTS.
President Cleveland Extending the
Civil Service Reform Idea.

WASHINGTON, Nov 49, 1894.-The Sec
retary of the Interior has requested the
Civil Service Commission to prepare an
order for the Presidents signature to
anclude the scientific and teachnical
force of the Geological Survey in the
classified service.
Should this order receive the endorse
ment of the President it will affect a
large number of officers as heretofore
provided for though some of them fail
ed to be appropriated for in the last
Congress, as the result of the fight per-
ennally made on the bureau. The list
includes twenty biologists, twenty-four
assistant biologists, six paleontologists,
seven assistant paleontologists, two
hcemists, forty-nine topographers and
twenty-five assistant topographers. Many
of these places are handsomely remuner-
ated as Government offices so. The prin-
cipal biologists receive salaries averag-
ing from 81 500 to $4,000 a year. while
aries averaging 81, 800 a year Two of
the Psychologists receive $1,000 a year
each, while the topographers average
1880, some receiving as high as s., 500
and $1,000 per annum, while the lowest
salary paid is $1,000.
Since Secretary Smith accepted the
portefelio of the Interior Department he
mas abolished the two offices in the Geo

officer and the Editor, which paid re-

SAVING THE oITY's MONEY.
Comptroller HOugh's Plan for Savin.
Interest on Bonds


On December 6, the Board of Finance
will refund s179,0OO of 80 year 6 per cent.
water bonds, issued January l, 1866. For
the first time since the consolidation
the city, through the Sinking Fund
Commissioners, will be bidder for the
new issue, which is to run for twenty
years, and bear interest at AZ per cent.
Mayor Wanser is delighted with the
plan and he appreciates the fact that
Comptroller, Hough has been mainly in
strumental in introducing it. Comptrol-
Ter Hough has for years been trying
to institute plan of refunding bonds as
they mature at a lower rate of interest
1t is due to his efforts and to an eco
nomical government that by refunding
at a lower rate of interest the city is
saving about 100000 interest every year
1t has been customary for Sinking Fund
money to lay idle in banks until an op-
portunity presents itself to lend it to
the city to redeem bonds. As a result
the banks have enjoyed the free use of
the citys money but when the city
borrows from the banks it is compelled
to pay interest no matter how much
of the cityS money is ON deposit there
to the credit of accounts which could
not be drawn upon. The money which
is to be used in purchasing the $179 600
of bonds has come into the possession
of the Sinking Fund Commissioners from
various sources which contribute to the
redemption of certain issues of bonds
