south Dakota.

ELK POINT S. Do July 2S.-Eider
Joshua S. Vaughn Hines, the famous CO.
worker of William Miller. the founder of

Hines was born in WEXFORD. r. |. The
family were Episcopalians, but the boy be-
came a member OF the New England sect
commonly called Christian Baptists, and for
a number of years served as general mis-
| sionary. In the midst Of this work he first
heard of William Miller and his teachings
| as to the near approach Of the second advent.
Mr.. Miller had been preaching for several
years, but no particular impression had been
| made. Mr.. Hines arranged to meet Father
! Miller, and after patient investigation made
up his mind that the "old prophet" was
| right. Mr.. Hines also arranged for a weekly
| paper and began the publication Of books
| and tracts innumerable. The first number of
the paper was seat TO every postofice in the
| United States and Canada. Thus a great re-
ligious movement was begun. In 1879, how
ever, Elder Hines returned to the church of
his youth, and has since remained with 1t.

sition he held for the succeeding twelve

His next call was to the Salem Street Con
gregational church, Boston. where he re
maned until 1855, when he capted the offe
of the Congregational church at Galeshurg, re
tanning that position until the 70th year o
his life He came to Brook yn in 1872 and wa
associated with his brother in the publication
Of the Christian Union.

TO OPEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Widow of Its Founder VIII Furnish
Emnls ut Sncrilice.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting
President Jordan about the opening of Stan
ford university in September. Mrs. Stanford's
finances will not permit OF any expenditures
that are not absolutely necessary, but she
will be able to furnish money to run the In
stitution on the same plan as last year.
Mr.. Jordan has submitted estimates show
ing the university can be conducted without
impajrlng its efficiency for $4,000 month.
Mrs. Stanford, in order to raise money, will
sell off the stock on the Palo Alto ranch.
There are now on the farm 600 head of fine
horses One auction sale VIII be held in New
York and another in San Francisco.
The income from the Palo Alto and Vina
ranches has not been large enough to keep
the university going, and in order to keep
1t open Mrs. Stanford has been obliged to
hypothecate some of her railroad bonds, and
the same course will be necessary to secure
funds for the support of the university dur
| ing the coming year. 1t is understood that
| she is negotiating heavy loan on bonds OF
| the Southern Pacific of Arizona and New
Mexico.
/ Owing to this financial embarrassment
Mrs. Stanford is very anxious to have the
government suit against the estate settled as
| soon as possible. II is understood that al
| agreement has been reached among counse
| to have the proper papers filed with the cour
| of appeal at q very early date.

MISSOURI RIVER COUNTIES.
Many Report the Largest Crops
Rnised in Their History.


The old and thickly populated counties
along the Missouri river from Douglas to the
county line report magnificent crops of small
grain, with the most iattering outlook for
large yield Of corn. These counties were
among those which suffered by the unex-
pected late frosts early in the season;
but the warm rains which set in May 80
worked a wonderful change in crop prospects.
Small grain and corn recovered from the eff
fects of earlier unfavorable weather and the
counties with one exception report the largest
crops in their history
DOUGLAS-Wheat acreage same as in 1898
and 1894; present condition good; average
yield thirty bushels. Oats about the same;
present condition good; will average twenty
five bushels Rye in good shape; will yield

| though where raised will yield eight bushes
| per acre Corn about the same as last year; (;
| in very good shape, but needs rain; yield
| fifty bushels. Hay in good shape but little
| light Potatoes better than have been raised

largely killed by frosts in the spring

DESTRUCTIVE BLAzE IN NEW YORK
six-story Brick Building Swept from

started in the basement Of the six-story brick
building 10 and 21 West Twenty-seconi

toys, and Joaquin & Co., dealers in millinery

badly damaged. The stock of Schartes Bros,
was completely destroyed and that of Joaquin
was so badly damaged by fire and water
that It is likely to prove total loss.
Various offices and establishments on the
upper floors of the building sustained lesser
loss. The fremen worked hard and success
fully to save the large establishment of Story
Bros adjoining. The damage will be $780,
900. the greater portion falling upon Schartes
Bros. and Joaquin & Co The building owned
by Story Bros was damaged, 1t was said, to

BALTIMORE, July 2S.--John A. Garret Of
this city. f. II. Otheran of New York and l..
Pease Of Germantown, Pa, members OF the
Princeton college geological expedition that
was thought to have been annihlated by the
Indians, arrived here this evening, Mr.. Gar
ret said:
1--WE left Dubois, Wyo., just two weeks ago
for yellow Lake. BY the route we took the
trip was expected to occupy FIVE days, but II
required nine days and provisions ran short.
We named the route the Princeton trail,
and 1t was heretofore unnamed. We crossed
recently travelled Indian trail, evidently
made by the Lemhis who had gone to join
the Bannocks. Later we came across small
party of Shoshones and camped with them
one night. They seemed TO be in a bad
the war path. In the band was George
Wasakie, son Of the chief of the tribe.
I'VE passed within sight of Jackson's Hole.
From what we heard the Indians had more
reason to be afraid OF the settlers than the
latter had to be afraid of the indians. The
impression prevailed that the white people
were very anxious to fight the redskins.
For four days we Travelled through snow. We
were well armed and prepared for fight
although we knew Of no danger until we
reacehd Cooke City. We passed over country
never before traveld by white men and saw
much large game, moutnain sheep, deer, bear
etc. We left the main party Wednesday, last
