OCTOBER COLORS.
The sun-rays on the red leaves shine:
The cool crisp air is sweet as wine.
Lush chestnutS on the moses fall:
The squirrel chatters on the wall.
The sumach at the way-side burns:
The cricket flies amOny the ferns
Within the orchard. rosy ripe,
The wary quail begins to pipe.
Now twilight calm, in folds of pearl.
Doth softly i'm the air unfurl.
And in the liquid distance far
Trembles in ecstasy a star.
While the moon pours its liquid mist
ON leafiet pink and amethyst.
All nature, rich with cOlOrs bright.
Dreams in true Arabian Night
Again the orchards hold to view
A tempting luscious prize,
A wealth of fruit that ruddy grew
Beneath the summer skies.
The grape leaves curling crisp and brown.
Display the vineyards purpling crown.
And by the road side yellow plumeS
OF golden rod and aster blooms.

Residents of the country tributary to the
ceded Sioux lands AXE exceptions to a re-
cent dispatch from YanktOn that owing TO-
the "worthlessness of the Sioux Reservation
land. School Land Commissioner Lock-
hart has released $4,000 acres which his
predecessor had flied upon for the state.
and he now proposes to attempt to claim
this amount from the Yankton Reserva-
ti1n.' The facts III the matter are that
Land Commissioner Ruth, in behalf of
South Dakota. a year or two ago made a
vigorous fight to secure lands for the state
in the ceded Sioux country, but his filings
were ordered cancelled by the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, who held that
the coded indian lands were not subject to
selection by the state. So anxious was the
state to secure some of this "worthless''
land that an appeal was taken to the Sec
rotary of the Interior. The Secretary sus-
tanned the the action of the Commissioner
of the General Land Office in cancelling
the entries. Ruth, and not his successor.
was the man who so generously released"
the land, and he did this only when COM
PEELED to. The records in the United
States Land Office at Chamberlain will
bear out this assertion. The attempt TO
build up one portion of South Dakota at
the expense and to the injury of another, is
condemned by all fair minded men. Such
tactics, if persisted in, can only result in
injury to the whole state.

GRESHAM AFTER THURSTON.
Report that the Hawaiian Minis
ter's Recall Has Been Asked.

Report that the Hawaiian Minis
ter's Recall Has Been Asked.
Washington special: 1t was reported
here that Secretary Gresham had demand
ed the recall of Lorin A. ThurstOn, Ha-
waiian minister to Washington, on the
ground that he was persona non grata.
When Secretary Gresham's attention was
called to this statement, he positively
refused to say one word in cOnfrma-
ton or denial, and other officials of
the state department allege Ignorance
of the matter. 1t is known, however,
that there has been much friction between
the Minister and the State Department in
the transaction of business dating back to
Mr.. Thurst0n's appointment as Minister.
Probably because he was aware of the
state of feeling toward himtelf, the Minis
ter has always been singularly guarded
and discreet in his public utterances so far
as now can be recalled, SO as not to sub
ject himself to censure. Every effort
has been made officially to disguise the
real state of affairs. The Hawaiian Min
ister's name has been sc%rupulouSly in
cluded in all state functions in which the
diplomatic corps play a part, III on at
least one occasion he has been rendered
the honor of a special dinner by Secretary
Gresham, but it is known that there have
been stormy interviews between them.
Every effort made to secure confirmation
Of the affair failed. Members of the Cab
met, diplomatists and public men who
should be in a position to know if action of
such importance had taken either diSavow-
ed all knowledge upon the subject or de-
rlinod TO diScuSS if at all.
