Sioux Falls Press, 6: G. o. Bailey re-
turned yesterday from Tyndall, where
he went to defend the Western Union
Telegraph company in a suit for damages
brought against it by a mai named Gus
tenkorn. About a year ago the father
of Gustenkorn died in Kansas and he
was sent telegram notifying him of the
death asking him to come there at once.
The telegram was never delivered, so
Gustenkorn sued the Western Union for
$500 damages for the mental anguish he
sustained by the non-delivery OF the tele-
gram. Judge Smith in his decisions
held that under the laws OF South Dako.
ia a person cannot recover damages for
any injury that may be sustained in the
way of mental anguish. This isa very
important decision.

Rapid City Journal, 8: On Tuesday
Louis Martin, who resides on a rancho
near Dumont, in Lawrence county, was
arrested by United States officers for
coming coin OF the realm without
authority. He had in his cabin a CON-
plete set of dies, tools and paraphernalia
for the casting Of dollars and quarters
and when arrested he ADMITTED that he
had placed IN circulation about five hun
dred dollars worth Of the counterfeit
article. The ingredients Of his coin were
tin, glass and lead. In default OF bail
he vas sent to Jail to await the action of
the United States grand jury. Martin
from the looks OF his cabin, has been al
this money making business for some
time. He has, no doubt, confederates in
the various Hills towns, who act al
t~'shoysrs,a or ones who put the money
into circulation. His capture is consid
cred an important one.

Deadwood Pioneer, 3: The consump-

by the local newspapers, is increasing at
an alarming rate. The Chinese opium

This deplorable state of things
seems TO be due to the high pressure sys-
tenn OF living so common in the Windy
city. Stimulants are required to main
tain the unnatural pace, and alchool is
altogether too tame to suit the occasion.
The inevitable end is prostration, and it
will be surprising if that condition does
not come about hs a result of the artifi-
cal activity that has for so long charac-
terized the metropolis OF which We are

The legal battle for the possession of
Blythe's property began in 1886. 1t was
very much involved because of the pains
which Blythe took to conceal his ante
cedents and history. There were nearly
o hundred claimants besides Florence
Blythe, who wa alleged to be the nat
ural daughter of Blythe and his legal
heiress. The evidence showed that
Blythe's proper name was Williams,
and that he was born in Wales. He left
home at 16, drifted to California and
accumulated wealth. He died suddenly
in San Francisco in 1888, leaving no
will.
In February, 1878, while in London,
Blythe contracted am intimacy with a

then 90 years old. Florence was born

ton, SO as to secure unity of action on
all questions affecting the entire body
Of workmen and prevent the clashing Of
interests that should be identical.
MI. Mcbride was chosen chief execu-
tive Of the united organizations at the
start and has held the position ever
since. He was formerly an influential
member Of the National Federation of
Miners and has been prominent in min
ers' organizations ever since 1883, when
he was first elected president of the local
union in Stark county, O., over which
he presided until 1883. He ID prominent
also in the National Federation of Labor
and came very near being elected presi-
dent Of that body last year at Chicago.
MI. Mcbride was born in Wayne
county, O., in 1854, and removed to
Massillon in his childhood. His parents
were in humble circumstances, and his
educational opportunities were Of an e K
tremely limited order. He went TO work
in the Stark county mines at 0 years of
age and became a member Of the union
while still a mere youth. His election
to the presidency of the union was coin
cident with his taking q seat in the state
legislature, where he served two terms
i'm 1883 and 1885-as a representative
from Stark county, being prominent on
the Democratic side. He served as state
commissioner Of labor during Governor
Campbell's term of Office and was the

THE LOSSES OF THE FARMER.

The recent report of the Department of
Agriculture on farm animals shows that
this important branch of human Industry
has not escaped the destructive influence
of the Cleveland policy. The value of the
cattle on the farms at the close of 1893 was
S2.17OSl6.754 as compared with 81. S3 oS3. 249 at
the close of 1S92-a loss of sS12. 265 495, or II
per cent. Instead of being a loss of u per
cent. there should have been a gain of
per cent. to have maintained the ratio of
gain in past years. so that the value of
farm animals at the close of 1898 should
have been 81, 639 PIG, 496; so that the real loss
was Sass, 1893, 7OO or IS per cent. Numbers
have also fallen off. There are 125, 663 fewer
horses. and the average price has fallen
1929 per horse, or % per cent, making an
aggregate loss in horse flesh values of $223,-
these figures evidence that electricity in
cities is taking the place Of horses, but the
change there cannot account for the general
loss. More important to the people of In
uldIld lIldH lIle ueCllNe III the value OF
horses is the decline in the number of hogs
during the year, which was $685. 300, and in
value 10 per cent.-a net loss in values of
s25,O41S66. In January, 1892, there were g.
994.O19 hogs, and in January, 1894, only As
2O6, 49S-a loss Of 7,1s7,521 in two years. Yet
with this rapid decline in numbers. the
price has steadily declined. The deprecia-
ton of hogs in this State during the year
was S3,46O,122. The sheep, however, against
which the Cleveland people seem to have
inherited from John Randolph his enmity
to that animal which, he said, would cause
him to walk a mile to kick one, has suf-
fered most. The country has 2,225, $50 fewer
sheep than a year ago, and, with the fall
ing off in numbers. there has been great
er falling off in values, the average price
to-day being s1.9S against s2.66 year ago
the aggregate decline for the year in
value being $780, 723, 154. or nearly 30 per cent
At this ratio of decline there will be no
values in sheep in three more years of
Clevelandism, provided the Wilson bill
should become a law.
The above figures regarding agriculture
from a Democratic bureau are commended
to those farmers who voted for Cleveland
free trade and the markets of the world.
