Sioux Falls Press, u: Eleven old
soldiers in this city have become stock
holders in the scheme to enlist $1,000
veterans at SO per veteran and organize
a tow n in Georgia. Billy Mason is the
prime mover at this point, and expects
that 10000 soldiers will be in the new
town in less than a year. The promoters
and projectors OF the scheme are in Chi
cago. A meeting was held here Las {
night and two new members were secur-

ter away the intellectual force OF par
rots by merely teaching them to say

but the municipal authorities OF a
French town have instituted what 1t Is
to be hoped will become . general re-
form.
The poor box at the town hall, it
seems, had for q long time been in q
condition discreditable to the more pros
porous OF the inhabitants. To remind
them Of their duty toward their poorer
neighbors a parrot was purchased, which
was installed close to the box and train
ed to cry, For the poor. if you pleased
The result. it appears. has been high

having been freely given in response to
the birds appeal.
The idea is capable Of being applied
in o variety Of ways. Parrots might be
used, for example. to warn passersby OF
the proximity Of wet paint on fences or
shop fronts. or to remind people on en-.
tering O house to wipe their feet.

WASHINGTON, April Ii. -Postmaster
General Wilson is very much encour-
aged with the reports that have been
received by him showing the business
of the department.. He thinks that the
increased business of the postoffice de-
partment is a barometer Of better
times throughout the country. The
statistics which he has received are for
the fourth quarter Of 1894, ending Dec.
81 last. The sale of stamps and all
kinds of stamped articles was owe $19,-
4OO, 1000, the largest ever known for any
quarter. 1t is in comparison with the
bushes of the previous year that the
postmaster general sees the signs of en-
enlargement. The receipts for the
quarter ending Dec. 81, 1894. were
81, l65, 200 greater than for the cores
bonding period of 1893.

WASHINGTON. April 13.-There is lit
tie doubt that the scheme for distribut-
ing United States postage stamps at
rates below their face value, which has
its headquarters at Hamilton, Ont, is
q part of one of the greatest enterprises
Df its kind that has been unearthed Of
late years. The officials of the treasury
service who are OH the scene will work
upon the case until they have discov-
cred. if possible, where the work Of
counterfeiting is carried OH and have
the principals in the plot apprehended.
Close examination of the stamps which
were disposed Of in Chicago shows that
they are counterfeits, printed OH good
paper, but paper Of an inferior quality
to that used by the bureau, and that
the ink is paler than the government
brand.

Henry w. Pearson, Of Birmingham,
England, British commissioner to the
worlds fair and whom it will be remem-
bered visited South Dakota with other
distinguished guests at that time, has
been lecturing to large audiences in
England on South Dakota and illustrat-
ing his lectures with any views OF
scenes and scenery in South Dakota.
Writing to a friend Oh this side OF the
water concerning his first lecture, given
in Liverpool, he says:
There we're upwards Of l,4Oo artisans
and shopkeepers present, including a
fair proportion Of ladies. l gave pictures
of a South Dakota cornield and a ranch,
also the reaping and threshing Of grain
on a large farm, in addition to views OF
an artesian we'll, Pierre, Huron, Reield,
WATERFOWL, Aberdeen, Mitchell, Brook
ings, agricultural college, the state fair,
and then | went into the Indian reserva
ton and described with the aid OF pic
lures, the Indian life and what efforts
your country was making in his behalf
and for his good. The people here have
never had the matter put in such a light
before, and in giving them your photos
on the screen | wOve around it many Of
the graceful acts of attention you paid
to us while on our fleeing visit to South
Dakota. l can now hear their ringing
cheers when l gave them this peroration
on your state:
The Sioux Indian reservation, which
has long stood as a barrier between the
Rocky mountains and the east, will soon
be completely spanned by railroads and
give connection in the right direction.
The little inland empire has been isolat
ed, but happily that day is past and a
period Of rapid and permanent growth Is
mt hand. The state Of South Dakota
offers "A greater variety OF valuable re-
sources than those which have made
Pennsylvania the Keystone state. 1t is
a bank TO the capitalist; a boundless
museum to the c%urlsus; a meteorological
reasure house to the geologist; a Curl
oslty shop to the scientist; a health re-
sort to the invalid; home giving to the
agriculturalist; unique and picturesque
to the artist; a land Of delight to the
pleasure seeker and sportsman; inviting
by rich rewards for their labor every
class, every trade and every profession.
I did my best for your state before a
pleased audience, and hope it may in,
duce many good men toward your good
and friendly South Dakota.

Namaimo, Z. c., Jan. 19.-The sensa-
tional disappearance of Police Magistrate
Planta, the outcome of the royal commits
sion, is no longer a mystery. 1t has been
ascertained that he left town yesterday
afternoon in small sail boat with his
youngest son. The boat was seen later in
the day heading for the American side by a
passing steamer which arrived here this
evening. Planta'S flight was well timed,
as a hurried investigation of his private
affairs shows that for years he has been
in the habit of using public moneys as
well as the property of interstate for mis-
own use. 1t is estimated he has got away
with a large sum of money in one shape
and another So far no active steps have
been taken by the authorities to secure
his arrest.
Planta came to this province over
twenty years ago. and ever since has
beer prominently connected with the pub
lie affairs OF the country. He was looked
upon as a thoroughly good citizen and for
years had practically been the law unto
himself in this section. Prior to coming
to British Columbia Planta occupied a
position of trust in one of the leading law
firms of New Zealand. He left that
country hur-iedly to escape prosecution
or account of Disappointing funds. He
Us supposed to be making for San Fran
cisco, whence he will proceed to Hawaii.
The inquiry into the cityis finances was
postponed until after the new council
takes office.
