The fire was started by nn explosion III
Haprcl's saloon. The inmates never had
the slightest chance To escape, FOR the only
door by which entrance was had to the
hotel was in front and close TO the saloon
door. The flames blocked that means OF
escape at once. Michael and his wife
occupied the upper portion OF the
third floor and they were at the windows
calling for help when the firemen arrived.
Michaei sprang from the third story to the
pavement below. His left arm was broken
and he sustained internal in jurles.

THE COCNTRN'S CROPS.
A Very Favorable Week in Nearly
All Sections.

Washington special: The Weather Blu
reau, in its report Of weather-crop condl-
tons for the week ended May i, says:
Generally the week has been very favor
able. In the northwestern states much
needed and for the present ample rains
have fallen. which, with unusually high
temperature. have been favorable for the
rapid growth of all vegetation. Rain is
badly needed in Michigan. Ohio, and the
greater portion of Pennsylvania.
Corn planting has progressed rapidly
during the week in the northern states
and generally reported as in promising
condition in the central and southern
states also, though considerable damage
has been done by cutworms in some Sec
tons.
Winter wheat has been u~nfavorably
affected by warm. dry weather IN Mis-
souri, and Ohio. Illinois reports crops in
excellent condition where rain has fallen.
In Tennessee il is beginning TO head.
Tobacco plants are reported plentiful in
Maryland. In Kentucky the the beds have
been injured by insects, and in Ohio the
dry. warm weather has retarded growth.
Fruit prospects continue excellent

PROCLAMATION NOT ISSUED.
The YanktOn Reservation Opening
is Again Delayed.

Washington special: Owing 10 the i'm
mense amount of foreign business present.
ed to the President by Assistant Secretary
Uhl the chief executive did not sign the
proclamation opening the Iankton Reser-
walton lands TO settlement. The docu-
ment was prepared more than a month
ago and laid before the President for him
to set the date for the opening and affiX his
signature. This action was postponed,
however, at the suggestion Of Secretary
Smith in order that he might render an
opinion on the right of South Dakota to
select the portion of these lands on
account of the school indemnity.
This opinion was rendered, adj
verse to the state, and it was supposed
that the proclamation would be issued
after the Cabinet meeting. There has
been ali impression that both the President
and Secretary were anxious to have these
lands opened in order that homesteaders
who file on them may he able to prepare
the soil for d crop next year. 1t is now TOO
late for them to raise a crop this year. IL
cannot be SAID with certainty when the
proclamation will be issued, but il can be
looked for any day from now on.

A MILLION 4 MONTH.
Leather Trust in shape to Mulct
the People to that Extent.

Chicago special: The Tribune will say:
The American people, ii is likely, will be
forced to contribute a large sum to the
Golfers of the leather trust unless present
conditions radically change. The trust
controls 20 per cent. of the dry hide stock
in the country. From it sole leather that
enters into the manufacture of all grades
of shoes is made. 1t has marked up prices
faster and further than they ever rose be-
fore in the same time. There is a reason
for the advance in green hide leather. 1t
lies in the scarcity Of cattle. JObbers and
manufacturers believe there is no such
scarcity as to dry hides and they think the
advance in leather made of them is the
first grand coup attempted by the trust
since il came into existence. They say il
has succeeded to a point that assures the
trust a profit of 81 ,000,00 a month. They
quote the predictions of the trusts agents
and representatives that the rise is only
fairly under way, and they add prophecies
of their own that the amount of the adj
vance must be paid by the people, espec-
tally those who purchase low grades OF
ShOeS.

HIS DRESS SUIT STOLEN.
Defaulter TaylOr's Residence at RedGeI d
Entered by burglars.

Entered by Burglars.
Another sensation in connection with
Defaulter Taylor comes to light at Red
field in the discovery that some parties
gained a forced entrance into Taylor's res
idence there, now with its furniture held
by the sheriff on liens by the state and
First National Bank, and distracted a full
Aress suit, his plug hats, silken ties. fancy
waist coats and linen shirts. While there
were plenty of valuables of all kinds at
hand. nothing else wa mOlested. The
robbery is the topic Of much gossip, since
II leads TO surmises that Taylor must have
confederates and that these special articles
OF dress were singled out from a great
quantity of other clothing and sent TO him
or some friend east for shipment to him :.
The sheriff had the doors padlocked and
DOTTED and entrance was effected by means
OF a crowbar, when an experienced burg
lar would have entered by the window.
There seems to be no doubt that certain
parties are either in direct communication
with Taylor or with confederates of the
latter east. The abstraction of the dress
SUIT. which was Taylor's wedding Gar
me1lt, and leaving untouched a multitude
OF valuable articles from cellar to attic.
leads TO much conjecture and a query as to
h Taylor wants with a dress suit in
South America.

REVOLT AGAINST ZELhYA.
A Revolution in the Mosquito
ritOry i'm Nicaragua.

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, special: A
dispatch to the New York World says:
Fighting has begun in Grenada, Nlcara-
qua. Disorder is reported from Leon alSo'
Word comes from there that the followers
of Ortiz, Cercula and Nacherro have
united to make war on Zelaya. The HON
duras troops concentrated at Cape Graclas
will remain there. as it is feared that the
threatened outbreak on the Mosquito res
~ervatiOn may extend here. The troops al
Amalpa will be distributed along the
coast. Gen. Bonilla will take 5000 and 60
to President Zelaya's aid if requested.
Washington special: DR.. Guzman, Nj
caraguan Minister, has not been advised
of the reported revolution in Nicaragua.
He has expected that the sailing OF the
British, fleet would have a quoting effect
upon public sentiment.
In other quarters the fact that the reVo-l
luton is along the east shore is regarded
as significant. This is the Mosquito re-
gion. in which British influence has long
been dominant and which has recently
been created a state under the name OF Le-
laya. 1t has been apprehended by Cen
trail American diplomats that if the Mos
quito natives made trouble ii would afford
opportunity for further British interven-
ton. One of the best posted diplomats
from that section says he considers it in
evitable that the Mosquito natives will re-
bel and attempt to restore Chief Clarence
TO the throne. This would be a denial of
N~icaragua's sovereignty over the new
state of Zelaya, and, in the judgment of
this diplomat, Great Britain would sup'
port Clarence.

THE GRO? REPORT.
The Temperature Has Been Considerably
Above the Average.

Summarized reports from forty counties,
received at the United States Weather Blu
reau at Huron. give crop conditions in
South Dakota as follows:
There was much cloudy and threatening
weather during the week. Showers were
frequent and cOpious everywhere, and
heavy over much of the state. Local
'hailstorms occurred, but slight damage
was done and that only to fruit
blossoms and gardens. In some localities
fields were considerably washed by heavy
rains, but no serious damage is reported.
The temperature during the week was
considerably above the average and more
than compensated tor the deficiency in
sunshine.
All vegetation developed rapidly, made
marked growth. and is luXuriant and OF
thrifty color. Field crops, gardens, grass.
fruit and other trees are unusually advance
ed for the time of year and doing finely.
Potato and corn planting is progressing.
but the frequent rains have Occasioned
some interruption in this work. Early pO-
tatOes are showing we'll above the ground
and the early corn is from one to fou
inches hign in southern localities.
Grass has probably made the most rapid
growth: it affords ample and excellent
pasturage over most of the state. and
promises well for a good hay crop.
Flax seeding is still in progress and some
localities report this crop up and growing
nicely.
The blossom is falling and fruit forming
on apple and plum trees: strawberries are
poisoning, and prairie wild flowers
blooming over the south half of the state.
Many correspondents report the season
from three to four weeks ahead of many
former years and the prospect seldom so
bright for crops.
The week closed with all vegetation in
specially good condition, the ground well
soaked nearly everywhere, field work at a
very satisfactory stage of progress and the
future full of bright promise and encour-
agement. A little cool weather would,
however. probably be beneficial in stOOling
wheat and oats, and a cessation of showers
permit the early completion of corn plant
inc.

GREAT THING FOR AMERICA.
Machinery of All Kinds idmitt"i
Free Of duty 80 Chinu.

Washington special: Large opportuu'-
ties fol- the INTRODUCTION OF American ma
chinery and the investment Of American
capital are offered by the PEACE agreement
Japan has Just effected With China. A
provision is made that China shall here
after be open ~ the introduction OF all
forms OF modern machinery and that such
machinery shall be admitted free of duty.
American cotton machinery would be Il
benefit. especially from the new opening
presented, and also telephones, electric
lights printing presses and many other
devices of civilization which heretofore
have been kept out of China, The Emper-
or Of China has heretofore prohibited the
introduction OF modern machinery. As a
result the Chinese are..using wooden plowS
similar to those used centuries ago. Mod
ern tools are included under the head OF
machinery and mechanical devices, so that
the American pillow and all other imple-
ments and tools will enter China free Of
duty. II is stated that cotton machinery
will be brought at once into extensive use,
thus charging the demand for raw cotton
OF the southern states. The Chinese use
so much cotton that the Emperor granted
a monopoly of using cotton machinery to
the viceroy of the southern provinces Of
China. lie has since produced large
quantities and has prevented the British
and Americans at Shanghai and elsewhere
from using similar machinery. Now,
however, the viceroy's monopoly is at AN
end, and American machinery is expected
to be freely introduced throughout the EN-
pire.
