Dollar Wheat in the Dakotas.

Acting Secretary Sims, O.; the Interior DE-
partment, at Washington. has been consid'
ering bid for wheat to be furnished the
Sioux Inlians at Crow Greek agency, South
Dakota, which he thinks Is positive proc
that the low price Cor this cereal does not ex
ist. The lowest bid was S1.01 per bushel
The wheat is for milling purposes, and the
grade required was "No. 1 spring." at sixty
pounds to the bushel. This is q very higt
grade, and in case ola partial failure of croE
might be hard to obtain. This bid for wheat
for Indian supplies has been before the de
plrtment before, and when returned the !as
time it was with the statement that it wa
impossible to obtain lower rate, and thai
the wheat was needed for the Indians Al
once. Secretary Sims says that more than
one dollar per bushel seems to be very
high price TO pay for wheat right in the
midst of the wheat-growing region.

Admiral Ting's Career.

Admiral Ting, naval commander Of the
Chinese forces at the recent disastrous battle
with the Japanese squadron off the mouth OF
the Yalu River has been Viceroy Ii Hung
Chaugs trusty lieutenant in matters per
tanning to the Chinese navy since its orgauI-
zation in 1885, He is, however, more OF
soldier than a sailor, having won his spurs
as a dashing cavalry commander.
Before he was placed in command OF tho
Northern Squadron" he was one OF the de-
partment commanders OF the Chinese land
forces, with his headquarters at TIen-Isln.
His rank at that time was Brigadler-0eh-
eral. From a B-igadier-General he became
at once full fedged Admiral, without any
preliminary training. Under such clrcunl-
stances his failure as a naval commander
was only to be expected. His services 70 the
Chinese navy consist chiefly in devlslnS d d
uniform for the officers and men, which IS
rather Il clumsy affair.
Admiral Ting has commanding appear
ance, being about six feet tall. In age ne Is
between fifty and sixty. He hRtls from An-
hui, the native province Of Ii Hung Chahg.
He is an inveterate gambler, and does not
scruple to indulge in his favortte anuse,

Social dissipation is the abettor of pride.
It is the instigator OF jealousy. It is the sac
rifciai altar OF health. 1t is the defler of the
soul. 1t is the avenue Of lust, and it is the
curse OF every town on both sides of the sea.
Social dissipation 1t may be hard to draw
the line and say that this is right on the one
side and that is wrong on the other side. 1t
is not necessary that we do that. for God has
put a throne in every mans soul, and I ap-
peal to that throne to-day. When a man does
wrong, he knows he does wrong, and when
he does right he knows he does right, and to
that throne, which Almighty God lifted in
the heart of every man and woman. I appeal
As to the physical ruin wrought y the
designations Of social life there can be no
doubt. What may we expect OF people VINO
work oil day and dance all night? After
awhile they will be thrown on society ner-
vous, exhausted imbeciles. These people
who indulge, in thesuppers and the midnight mid s
revels and then go home IN the oold IN
wrapped of limbs will after awhile be tound
to have been written down in Gods eternal
records as suicides-as much suicides as IL
they had taken their life with pistol or q
knife or strychnine.
