W may be gratifying, yet how so
much may have been paid off during

be a mystery. The fact is those who

critics at a low value has caused much
decrease in valuation.

The greatest criminal trial of the
decade and perhaps that has occupied
the courts for a quarter of a century
has at last been decided. For nearly
seven weeks the jury has sat and lis
tened to the wearisome taking Of testi-
mony which was badly mixed and quite
contradictory, the wonderful eloquence
and brilliant oratorical arguments of
the acutest legal counsel of the coun-
try, and went out and decided that
Harry Hayward was guilty of murder
in the first degree in few hours and
unless the supreme court grants new
trial or executive clemency steps in,
neither of which is at all likely, the
murderer of Catherine Cling will pay
the penalty of his crime on the gallows.

Prompt Response BY Citizens Prevents
Serious Damage.
From Saturdays Edition.
An alarm of fire was sounded last
night about ILLS o'clock and inquiry
developed the fact that the small
dwelling on Jennings avenue, near the
residence Of Walter Scott, occupied BY
Charley Lindquist, was on fire. The
fire boys and other citizens were quick
to respond to the alarm given by the
night police, the Elkhorn engine and
by other means, and in a few minutes
a line of hose was attached to the near
est hydrant and the building was soon
deluged with water. The fire was ex-
tinguished without much damage to
the building but some of the furniture
was damaged beyond repair. Charley
"barely" escaped in his night clothes,
his house having caught fire before he
was aroused from his slumbers. The
furniture and building were each in
sured for 800 in the Phoenix, of Hart
ford. The members of the fire depart
ment deserve much credit for the
promptness with which they responded
to the alarm and the alacrity with
which they extinguished the fire.

THE PLAGUE IN ARkANsAw.

A Terrible State of Affairs In the sout horn
Health Resort.
A telegram of the 9th inst. from Jack
sonville, Fla, says: A letter was re-
ceived by r. w. Adams of this city from
a relative at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
stating that the smallpox epidemic in
that place is much worse than the
newspaper reports would indicate. The
letter says that not newspaper in Hot
Springs dares to publish the truth
about the situation, as the publishers
have been told that if they printed the
truth their papers would be burned
and the offices wrecked. Correspon-
dents for outside papers have been
similarity intimidated. The letter
describes the situation at the famous
resort as narrowing in the extreme.
Many are dying daily aud new cases
are being found constantly. The
hospitals are crowded and doctors and
nurses are unable to give proper at
tentions to the patients.

Dan Flood Out of the penitentiary.

Dan FLOOD Out OF the Ponttentlarys
Through the efforts of Representa-
tive Geo. E. Hair, a pardon was secured
for Dan Flood, who was sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary from
Meade county for embezzelment. He
has served about two years of the
time, and large number of the people
sof Meade county were satisfied that he
had been sufficiently punished and
petitioned for his release. While he
was county treasurer he accepted part
payment upon taxes and in all had
about S4OO of this money when he
went out of Office. He might have
made this fund good but because some
of his political enemies had said they
would make him pay it or send him to
the pen he fought it in the courts, and
was indicted. He will return to Stur-
gis to look after some business matters
and then we understand will go west.

E.cursions t. the Hills.

The summer outing of the state
press association will doubtless be
held this year in June instead of July
as heretofore. The newspaper frater-
nifty this year has splendid opportu-
nifty to make trip to the Hills, as the
guests of Hot Springs. Both the Elk
horn and the Burlington roads offer to
furnish the transportation, while Hot
Springs will entertain and guide the
gang to every point of interest in that
wonderful land. The association
should close with the offer and give its
members q chance to become more
familiar with the resources of their
own state, in preference to going of on
some other trip.-Pierre Free Press.
The executive committee ofthe South
Dakota Press association will meet
about the first of May to decide upon
the summer outing. The editoro the
STAR has conversed with number Of
members of the association during the
winter and nearly every one Of them
expressed a desire to make trip to
the Hills. Their annual meeting will
probably be held in Hot Springs and
and the places Of interest about here
will be visited, consuming perhaps
three days after which it is proposed
that circuit be made of the Hills tax
ing in the more important places Of
interest. Altogether a trip to the Hills
such as is contemplated would con-
sumo from ten days to two weeks.
Hot Springs will surely royalty well
come the faber showers from over the
river.
The educational association of the
state will make an excursion to the
Hills early in June, coming to the
Springs first, thence through the Hills.
Geo. Schlosser, one of the best excur-
sion hustlers in the west has charge of
the excursion and thinks there will be
nearly two hundred in the party.

Cooper Head" Banquet.

The winterterm at the college closed
yesterday and the students made the
most of their first night out. The
"Copperheads," mastering most of their
forces, went down to the Evans at Z
o'clock, and staid until near midnight.
While a number of the faithful could
not be present at the banquet, a glor-
ious time was had by those who were
there. It is, of course, not necessary to
state that the supper was splendid as
the Evans gets up no other kind.
After the spread the party adjourned
to the parlors and spent three delight
full hours in conversation enlivened by
music and games. The piano music by
Misses Morrell and Denman, the vocal
solo by Miss Baker and the banjo solos
by Mr.. Bradley were few of the de-
lights of the evening. After the music
came the games and the number of new
ones the young ladies sprung upon the
innocent young gentlemen was start
ling. The boys bore it meekly, how
ever, and made the most of good
bargain. The following named tried
and true "Copperheads" were present:
Misses Grimes, Andreas, Crabill, Den
man, Morrell, Wells, Douglas, Cross,
Baker, Fuhlbrugge, Dickover and
Mower; and Messrs. Stewart, Gidley,
Harry Stewart, Bradley, Wells, Cal
houn, Kirkwood, Dickover, Charles
Calhoun, Ladd and Southmayd. The
affair was SO enjoyable that the boys
are already talking of trying it again
soon. x

Will be Hung Until Dead ON June 11th.
Protests His Innocence. ~
MINNEAPOLIS, March 11.-Harry Hay
ward was brought into court this morn
ing to receive his sentence for the mur-
der of Miss Cling. Judge Smith asked
the defendant, "Have you anything to
say why sentence should not now be
pronounced ?" Hayward, with appar-
ent great effort, replied: "Nothing, sir,
except that am innocent in spite of
the twelve jurors"
Judge Smith then said: SIT is the
most painful duty that ever devolved
upon me to pronounce the sentence of
law upon you at this time. You have
had in my judgment a fair trial. You
have been assited in the defense by re.
markable legal talent. In the jndg.
ment Of this court this was couscieH.
tious verdict.
Although am not favorable to capi-
tal:punishment, as told the jury in
the charge, I am not responsible for it
I am here to obey the laws in reference
to it. Itis with feeling that I wish
could avoid that pronounce this SEN
tence: tits ordered that you, Harry T.
Hayward, receive punishment for mur-
der in the first degree, of which you
have been convicted; that you be taken
from here to the county Jail and after
the lapse of a period of three calendar
months from this day, shall thereafter
be taken to place of execution fixed
by the governor of Minnesota and at a
time in his warrant set, be hanged by
the neck until dead"
Harry sat down unmoved and was
Immediately taken back to the Jail.

TAYLOR is CAUGHT.
Our ex-Treasurer Safe Behind the Bars Of
Mexican Prison.
TRACKED TO VERA CRUZ.
Trail Taken Up at Memphis Where He
Slipped Through the Hands of
Authorities.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March ia
dispatch from Tampa this evening says
that advices have been received there
to the effect that the ex- State Treasurer
Taylor of South Dakota, has been ar
rested at Vera Cruz, Mexico, to which
point he was traced by Pinkerton de-
tectives. Details of the arrest are
meagre, but information received is
believed to be correct, and there seems
to be no doubt that the ex-treasurer is
now in the hands of the law. Ever
since Taylor's flight detectives employ
ed by South Dakota have been on his
tracks. It is said that the trail was
taken up at Memphis, where he slip
ped through the hands of the authori-
ties. The ex-treasurer, travelling under
the name of Geo. Mason, accompanied
by man who gave his name as Phelps,
passed through here several weeks ago.
They took passage on a steamer and
went to Havana. From here he was
booked to sail for Vera Cruz, Mexico.
The police of Havana, however, had
been wired a large sum of money be.
fore Taylor arrived there, and were
told to exert every effort for the loca-
tion of Taylor. He put several officers
on the trail, and they found Taylor
just before he went aboard the vessel.
This information was sent to the de-
tectives in Mexico, the Havana author
tiles wiring that they could not hold
Taylor without formal proceedings.
All wires were arranged, and when Mr..
Taylor arrived at Vera Cruz he was
placed under arrest. The authorities
will wire the South Dakota officials at
sonce. and the necessary steps to extra
dition will doubtless be begunfat once.

A fire was discovered this morning
in the partition near the chimney in
the rear of Clarks meat market. The
room was filed with smoke and close
inspection of the premises disclosed
the fact that the studding near the
stove pipe were on fire. They had
been smouldering for some time but
the prompt application of water ex-
tinguished the fire without serious
damage. A careful examination
should be made of all chimneys and
stove-pipes in this frame row as q
blaze there would soon get beyond
control and result disastrously.

Our Pierre Correspondent Discusses the
Legislature's Work.
PIERRE, neutrality-suspicious. Bo-
land of Pennington county has for
years been opposed to the grand jury
system and he is now happy in the
knowledge that his bill abolishing the
grand jury, except in certain cases, has
passed both houses and will undoubt-
edly be signed by the governor. Crimi-
nal prosecutions are to be brought as
direct information, except in cases
where the judge, upon petition of the
states attorney shall order a grand
jury to be summoned.
Senator Wilson has succeeded in
taking excellent care of the soldiers
home. The appropriation for this in
stitution is s2S,455 for 1895 and s27,753
for 1896 in both the senate and house
bills which have now passed, each in its
own house. The bills will go to con-
ference committee, but there is
nothing to confer about in the matter,
There is no good reason for doubling
that this appropriation willpass. The
soldiers home was the only institution
which did not suffer decided cut over
two years ago in these bills, and this
goes to dispute the oft-refuted assertion
that the old soldier in these days is
: not properly recognized. Senator
Wilson is to be congratulated.
Mr.. Dickover, the chairman of the
+ house railroad committee, has welded
much influence on that committee and
while he could not get all that he
wanted in the line of railroad legis.
lation, yet to him belongs the credit OF
having drawn the railroad bill that
passed the house and which will likely
pass the senate also. This bill re-
deems for the republican party its
promise to enact that provision of law
which, while not unjust to the rail
roads, yet gives to the people that pro-
lection from railroad extortion which
is their right to have. Mr.. Dickover
may feel we'll satisfied with what he
has been able to accomplish.
A desperate fight has been made to
increase the salaries of the circuit
judges. In the first place an effort was
made to add $500 to the salaries of both
the circuit and supreme court judges
by providing a tax against all cases filed.
A vigorous contest was made in both
houses over this bill. 1t was held that
the expenses of one of the circuit
judges reached $500 per annum, thus
leaving him only $1,000 net income,
which was held to be very poor pay for
y good lawyer. This bill was defeated
III both houses. Later there was intro
sdnced another bill providing that the
