Prospects for Butte Dam-lnsane Individual
at Large

FLORENCE. A. T., April 15-Pro-
lessor J. w. Il. Hill of Des Muines, Ia,
has been with us three weeks in the in
terest of the I.O.G.T. He is fine tenn
perance lecturer, has great versatility OF
talent, no ruts, full of wit and WISDOM
logic and eloquence; never gives the same
lecture twice, and what is remarkable,
he draws larger audiences each evening
The more you hear him the more YOU
want to. He will visit your city soon.
He ought to have crowds every night and
it will be a marvel if he does not He
makes no filings at the saloon men but has
no mercy on their business
The prospects for the Butte dam are
Frightening and our citizens are waiting
patiently for news from the railroad eX-
tension. The Florence of today is not
the Florence of two years hence. Let us
hear the whistle of the locomotive and
there will be a making up and shaking
up that will make the bones of the fossils
that have lain dormant like Rip Van
Wrinkle for decade OF two rattle and
rouse. Look out, for both the engine will
startle and start them on new track of
life.
lie stated that man named John l..
Woodford and whose residence is Rock
ford, i'll Las been stopping in the city
for the past two weeks and has attracted
cOnSlueraDle attention every time he APP
pears on the street from the peculiarly
of his actions. He will pick up every
stone he sees in his path and go through
several gyrations with both feet and
hands, such as extending his hands above
his head and throwing TIL m in front of
his body and goes through all the move
ments of the Delsartean system. This
morning Sheriff Orme had him brought
into the court house and subjected him
tO examination in effort tn
tain whether or not he was crazy. The
man in undoubtedly demcnted on the
question of physical culture and says it is
absolutely necessary for him to keep his
arms and legs in continuous motion IN
order to keep his muscles from contract
ing. Otherwise he is perfectly sane and
is n man of means. He volunteered the
statement that he had been arrested in
San Francisco and kept in custody for
three days and then discharged, but he
could not say why he haa been detained.
He was allowed 20 go but will be watched.

SENATOR MORGAN.
Talks Turkey to King Grover on
Our Foreign Policy.


In q recent interview Senator Nor
gan remarked as follows on the policy
Of the government with reference to
the Nicaragua incident.
II do not believe that the American
people are fools, as rule. do not
think that they are wholly blind to the
character OF Great Britain and the at
titude OF that country toward the rest
OF the world. 1t Is not reasonable
thing for me to suppose that after
nearly century and . quarter of NC
quaintance with British methods and
British arms. inhabitants Of this coun-
try have not come 70 . realizing sense
Of the way In which England looks
upon all territory that Is not vet
under her dominion. John Bull is the
same today In 1885 as he was In 1875.
Nothing In the meanwhile has come to
change the character of his disposition.
He 10 the same grasping, greedy, clever
fell0w-always ready TO enlarge his
territory and power. He looks upon
America with the same eyes today that
he did whenwe were q band OF colonies,
Independent In every particular In fact,
and, though he is little more cOutious
In his pOpreesiOns in Nicaragua, he is
playing the same game that he was
then.
HAS the loss of American colonies
altered him in the least in his attitude
toward them? Not at all. He has
come on steadily, inlarging his posts
until he has surrounded the United
States with = chain Of British colonies
and possessions. He has q continent,
Auatralia, larger In territory than the
United States. He has taken Cyprus.
Egypt and countless islands He has
squeezed US out Of territory on our
western coast, giving him . free sea-
board on the western edge Of this con-
ttnent. He hae bulldOzed US out of the
value Of our zeal asharies in Alaska.
He would have taken Samoa II II had
been necessary to fight Germany 10
On der to accomplish this. He Is even
now trying to Increase his dominion
over large part Of Venezeula. The
president OF the United States tried to
give him Hawaii. for to establish the
British supremacy oyer one island in
that group, he was proposed by the
cable concessiOns,: would have surely
been to give Great Britain absolute
control over the entire country and
here In Nicaragua and In this day OF
enlightenment We see this same nation,
with it, record OF centuries q record OF
aggressios, despotic squeezing OF weak
nations, bulldozing, braggadocia, at
tempting to obtain foothold In q land
where the interests Of the United
States are paramount.
ITO let Great Britain secure this
privilege now would be to give her
control Of American commerce and n
je0pardize almost every American In
terest. I do not believe that the
American people are ninnies, and can

not see these things as they really are,
l do not think that they have be-
come arrant asses and are perblind To
the commonest principles OF projections
and precaution. Nor do think there
is man living in this country today
who can read who does not laugh TO
scOrn the pretext that Great Britain Is
making today that she has anything
like case against Nicaragua.
II think there is enough American
spirit in the American people to put u
stop to this proceeding. Great Britain
is not going to stop it of her own
volition: somebody has got to stop il
and be disagreeable, and this seems to
be a very good opportunity for the
United States to assume that role. |
think there is spirit abroad in the
land that would assure ready re-
spouse to any call that might he made
FOR aid in sustaining such an attittd.,
by congress as [ have in mind. Of
course, war with Great Britain is Il
possibility, has always been u posi-
bility since 1875, and is today not 50 re-
mote possibility rs many may think.
do not know absolutely what congress
will do, but If it should turn out that
this administration has acQuiesced in
the British position, am afraid some-
thing quite unpleasant may occur,
something that might disturb the
pleasant surroundings of Mr.. Bayard
in London and interfere, maybe, with
the pleasant social relations OF our
minister there with his royal friends.
trust 1t will not be necessary to do
this, out there is little known today TO
warrant the belief that something may
not have to be done to disarrange the
very comfortable surroundings of the
at the court of St. James's. !"

SALOONS CLOSED.

The Temperance People Surprise
the Dealers In Liquid Refresh
ments.
On Saturday afternoon Sheriff Ander-
son with five deputies created conster-
nation In the camp of saloon keepers by
walking into their respective places
and taking charge by locking the doors
of each. He was assisted by Tailor
Carter, Jesse Compton, Geo. Haver,
St. Geo. Card and Joe Reynick. It
seems that stranger giving the name
OF A. l.. Syvernd had visited the
various saloons on April II and II and
again ON May l and and secured in
toxicating drinks at the places con-
Quoted by Tom Stanton, Terry Collins
and Wesley Guillame. Rev. A. f. Car
hart, pastor OF the M. E. church,
signed the complaint, charging each of
the parties with selling whiskey and
lager beer. The form taken by the
prosecutors was that Of the Injunction
and the various places are now In the
hands Of the sheriff with the keys OF
each In his pocket. In each place
keg OF beer or more was found, besides
bottled beer, whiskcy, wine and alcohol.
The liquors were taken to the court
house, TO be kept there until some dispo-
sition is made of the injunctions gotten
out by the temperance people.
Rov. Carhart, who seems to be at the
head OF the prosecution, Is backed by
the temperance league Of the state and
the local organization, and declares
that 1t means ''war to the knife aud
the knife to the hilt" 80 far as the
saloon keepers are concerned.
the move OF the temperance people
was so sudden and SO entirely unex-
pected that the saloon keepers were
caught as it we're ''red-handed. E. T..
HarriOtt and E. G. Ericsson represent
the temperance people as legal advisers.
On Sunday Sheriff Anderson visited
the pens on the banks OF the Big Sioux
river and closed up three of the places.
Some liquor was found and for the
present Riverside is very dry place.

WArERWORKS.
A Chance to Secure WaterWorks and
Electric Lights.
Z. A Peter u New York Presents q
Psspesislsa - the city Ceuneil.

Elk Point has an opportunity to Sc.
cure a waterworks and electric light
plant northumberland that without the
expenditure OF single dollar Of local
capital. 1t strikes rs that it is a
chance not to be missed, but accepted,
and that at once. G.. A. Potter. OF the
firm of NJ. B. Potter l. Co., Of New
York city, presented himself to the city
council last evening and made this
proposition:
That he would put In plant for wat
erworks snd electric light combined,
involving An expenditure in the neigh
borhood Of >3O, 900, providing the city
would give him charter covering q
stated period, aud also make such a
contract A. would furnish the city with
fire protection and light for the streets.
Mr.. Potter outlined the scheme in
its thoroughness and presented the ad-
vantages Of the proposition to the
council. They were struck at once
with the liberality Of the proposition,
and are to present to Mr.. Potter the
number Of hydrants and lights the city
would contract for.
M. b. Potter & Co. are now incorpor-
ated under the title of the Northwest.
iern Waterworks and Power Company,
with paid up capital Of S75, 900. They
have . waterworks plant in Beresford,
and electric plant at at Mellette, this
state Is we'll a. three large Touring
mills In operation in South Dakota.
Their responsibility is ample, and if
they conclude to erect the system sug-
gested here, it will be substantial and
satisfactory one.
Tho advantages Of the scheme are SO
many that It seems useless to suggest
them In point. The saving of insurance
alone would pay all the cost of the ex.
pense of the running Of a system of
waterworks.. We doubt il there Is a
town in the state which pays higher
rate than Elk Point. 1t is a common
thing to pay At per cent. while others
are compelled to pay 81 per cent. The
fact that the capital expended will all
brought to the city and expended here
will benefit our local laborers to great
extent. Mr.. Potter does not ask dol
lar OF aid, but places it upon q direst
business proposition, and proposes to
secure his profits from the service per-
formed to customers of the plants
He will return In few days to further
consult with the city council, and then
y mass meeting will be held by the cit
liens In all probability to decide upon
the scheme. We believe it is a good
proposition and liberal one, and wor-
thy Of acceptance.

sheet last Monday. They desired TO
