An instance Of an editor who has left
his profession aud gone wrong ls thus
recounted by the Sioux Falls Journal:
George f.. Lance, formerly editor OF a
Brldgewater paper and more recently
employed by the Sioux Falls cider com.
pany. is wanted by Sheriff Hubbard on
a charge Of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The warrant was taken
out by Peter Haas, who put his name on
the back Of "A draft for the benefit of
Mr.. Lance, and which document he had
to pay. Several ether parties are also
after him for having swindled them by
means of checks when there was no
money in the bank upon which they we're
drawn to pay them. All this has been
done since state fair week, and Lance
appears to have secured his inspiration
from the state fair board"

Cleansing dirty linen is again Ia pro-
gress at Pierre as evidence the follow.
ing dispatch Of the 22nd inst: The in
vestigation Of S. A. Wheeler, COM
missioner of labor statistics, on a charge
Of m~alfeasance in office, was called in the
governors office at , o'clock this after
noon. Emmett Cole, the discharged
clerk and complaining witness, was on
the stand nearly all the afternoon. His
testimony was practically that he entered
into an agre enent with the commission
er to draw Il salary for compiling he
census and give Wheeler one-thlrd of It,,
but that his agreement was only made
under a threat of discharge for refusal
and with no intent of keeping the
promise, which he certainly did not. The
sensation was the testimony OF Cole's
wife, who testified that Wheeler stated
in her presence, in answer to a query,
that he would be a fool to rustic for an
office and then not get all he could out
OF it and that he would challenge her to
point to a state official who did not do
the same. The state then rested on the
direct testimony, and the hearing was
adjourned to 10 o'clock to morrow, when
the defense will be heard.
Commissioner Wheeler was in the wit
ness chair to-day. He denies any de-
mand Of a share of the wages Of Cole,
and explains that the letters filed as
evidence by Cole we're IN reference to
other subjects and not to any fact OF
division. He first denied the statement
OF Mrs. Cole IN regard to a division, but
afterwards said part of her story was
true, but referred to other facts than tc
q division. lie states as his reason fol
raising Coles salary that the approprla
ton was large enough to pay more, and
he did So. He denies any agreement
whatever for "a division, or any demand
for the money.

Wisconsin Towns in Danger of Destruc-

GREEN BAY. Wis. Oct. 24.-This
city is surrounded by forest fires, which
are made especially dangerous by a
strong north wind. Between here and
kewaunee the fires are almost con-
tinuous, in some places approaching
dangerously near tle tracks of the ke-
waunee. Green Bay and Western rail
way. Near Luxembourg several families
have already been burned out and at
various points many others have moved
from their homes in dread of the ap-
preaching flames. On the line of the
Ahnapee and Western road, near Casco,
the situation is serious, and it requires
the most persistent efforts of every
available man to prevent the destruc-
ton of the bridge at that point.
Fires Of greater or less extent have
prevailed on and about the Oneida
reservation for the past two weeks, but
the most serious damage thus far has
been to destroy timber and hay.

WAsHISGTON, Oct. 2l.-The second
publication of extracts from Senator
Sh"rman's book, which lays before the
public many of the secrets of Republic
can politics during the past two or three
national conventions, has created a pro.
found sensation in the East. Very few
Republicans of any prominence will dis
CusS for publication the statements re-
gvrl:ng the methods by which the NOM
nation OF Garfield was brought about;
nor will they say anything as to the al
legged deal Mr.. Sherman claims was
made to insure the success of Harri-
son in 1883 and 1892. There is a
feeling, however. that Mr.. Sherman has
made a very grave political error in per
hitting extracts from his book to be
published in advance Of the fall cleo
lions in Ohio and other states. There is
no doubt whatever. say some Of the
shrewdest of Republican politicians in
Washington. that the printing at this
time Of Sherman'S book will not only
in;ure the Republican prospects in Ohio,
but will engender strife in New York
and Pennsylvania.
