Sheriff Shannon Arrested.

About two weeks ago Sheriff Shan
non left for South Dakota, armed with
proper requisition papers to secure the
person of John Armstrong, charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He secured his man all right
but habeas corpus proceedings we're
Immediately begun to secure his re-
lease, to be heard about ten days from
the day they were instituted. John
patiently awaited the day of hearing
when 10, and behold, letter was re-
ceived signed by the governor ofSouth
Dakota revoking the requisition and
the matter was dropped. This letter
OF the governor did not bear the seal
of the state and Sheriff Shannon pre-
sumed it to be no good and proceeded
to take his man with him. He ar
rested him and got him into the train,
but when at Brookings, S. D., Arm
strong tried to escape and finally did
after a hard fight. Sheriff Shannon
stood up against the whole gang, but
they were too many for him and he
gave up the attempt, proceeding on his
way home. He had not travelled
many miles, however, before he was
arrested on the charge of trying to
kidnap a prisoner He took an ad-
journment, gave bail and landed home
yesterday morning. John believes
now he was a little too anxious to Sc
cure his man, but says he acted as he
did because to the governors letter the
seal of the state was not attached

plays first class game of poker and
chops his poetical lines into varying
lengths with a literary Ratchet. He
scorns the limitation of rhyme and me-
ter and seems to be disciple Of Walt
Whitman. There are people who think
he is a genius and a rising light in lit
erature, and "there are Others" The
latter class think his verses are barren
of talent.
Crane is 90 years of age and has been
writing for the press since he was 16.
Three or four years ago he published
novel called maggie, Girl of the
Streets under the pen name Of John
son Smith, but the book was so uncon-
ventiona1 and so daring in its treatment
of the s1um life it described that the
publishers dared not place their imprint
upon it. Hamlin Garland, who was ap-
parently much impressed by the genius
of the young author, wrote, ''With such
q technique already in command, with
life mainly before him, Stephen Crane
is to be henceforth reckoned with. " Mr..
Garland s interest led him to look up the
young novelist and intSoduce him to
William Dean Howells, Who, it is said,
4OOhS 0pOA OAShAO co q NOAJ
young devotee of the muses..
For about a year Crane has been doing
syndicate writing, and a second novel,
''The Red Badge of Courage, " describ-
ing the adventures Of a recruit under
fire in the civil war, was published in
serial form and proved very successful
Tt is said that all the stanzas in his lit
tie volume ''The Black Riders" were
written in a sudden fit of inspiration in
three days The following is a sample
of the young poets lines:
Should the wide world roll away,
Leaving black terror,
Limitless night,
Nor God nor man nor place to stand
Would be to me essential,
If thou and thy white arms were there,
And the fall to doom long way.

Nor more than a week ago the STATE
JOURNAL was scoring the state admins
tration claiming that Governor Morrill,
would not enforce the prohibitory law
throughout the state. From the tone of
their words now they seem to have taken
it all back. The JOURNAL should re-
member that the world was not built in
a day, and all these things cannot be done
at once. We think the governor is TAX
ing the right course as he seems to be in
the fight to stay.-Syracuse (Kan) Re-
publican.
The JOURNAL has not taken back any
thing it said in regard to the governor
enforcing the prohibitory law The
governor is now on trial; he has closed
the saloons in two cities; it remains to
be seen whether he will keep them
closed. So far as he has gone, the JOUR
NAL praises and commends him. The
saloons are still open at Leavsnworth
and Kansas City, Kansas. We cannot
but criticise the governor for his failure
to finish the good work. An explanation
from him Is earnestly called for. Why are
these two cities allowed privileges others
are uot3

could not refuse. He was in this way
compelled to pay out silver dollars. but
even then he did it under protest and

clone farther away than the most expe-
rienced Kansas farmer, and his feet
ache every time a storm gets within
1000 miles of them. Mr.. Moore has
been in the service a score Of years, is
Republican and won the place he now
occupies strictly on his merits as a fore
caster. For some time past he has been
weather prophet in Chicago at salary
Of So, 500 year, and his promotion to
the head Of the weather bureau in Wash
ington means future salary of 1000
year.
He was educated at the signal service
military school in Fort Myer, Va, and
began his career as a weather sharp at
the age of 81 years. There were 80
bright young men in his class at the
school, but he displayed such rare apti-
tude for the work and such industry
that when graduation time came he
stood second in the class in point of
merit. In 1886 he became sergeant, re-
ceiving his promotion because he devised
"new, economical, expeditions mechan-
ical methods of issuing daily weather
forecasts and MAPS and was at once
assigned to the preparation of meteoro-
logical charts. Later he was assigned
to the chief Office IN the Minneapolis
weather bureau, where the correctness
of his predictions won favorable men
ton from Secretary Rusk.
About a year ago a weather bureau
professorship was to be awarded, and 80
scientific experts entered competitive
examination for the honor. OF the 80
Mr.. Moore ranked highest, and when
Professor Harrington resigned as head
of the bureau recently Moore's record
was not forgotten While in charge of
the Chicago weather bureau last March
Moore made a remarkable record. He
predicted 1870 cold waves, 115 of which
arrived on schedule time. He also accu-
rately predicted the cold wave that
ruined the Florida orange crop last De-
| cember, and during last January, Feb
ruary and March 81 of 80 severe winter
storms predicted for Lake Michigan
swept the lake as Moore said they would.

to the termination of every previous re-
