WOLVES FROM TIE FAR NORTH.
Their Invasion of the DaIzotas Inter-
prcted by the Weather sharps.

From the Chicago Record.
Chamberlain, S. D., Nov. 1-Recent dis
patches from this city told of the unus-
ually large number of wolves in this vi
cinity and on the cattle ranges west of
the Missouri river. Reports from many
other portions of South Dakota show that
wolves were never so plentiful as they are
at present. Serious loss has been expert
enced by stockmen in the western part
of the state and even in the eastern part
depredatOns are constantly Increasing.
The wolves are not the common coyotes
but are the large gray timber wolves and
some of them that have been killed are
monsters. They are capable Of overpow-
ering a 2-year-old steer with apparent
ease. At one point in the northern por-
ton of the state seventeen wolves were
recently counted i'm a single pack, feed
ing on the carcass Of a horse, Since the
settlement of the country no such thing
has ever before been known. and a gray
wolf has always been rarity east of the
Missouri river.
There must be a reason for this sudden
influx of dangerous animals, and old trap
pers, who have spent their lives in the
northwestern wilderness have an eXpla-
nation for il. They say that the wolves
come from the extreme north away up
III the woods of Alberta and the vicinity
or Hudsons bay, and that the migration
is the result of that mysterious ana I'M
erring instinct which sways wild animals
This southwark migration of the wolves,
according to the trappers, is always said
to pressage a severe winter and a phe-
nomenal snowfall which will prevent the
animals from obtaining food in their
customary haunts. While this visitation
of wolves may not be particularly enjoyed
by the stockmen, IL is believed To be a
good sign for the husbandmen. In their
opinion it means that the ground the
coming winter win be covered as in the
memorable winter of 1SS0-S1, to a depth
of four or FIVE feet in snow, and when the
snow melts in the spring the country will
be inundated with a deuge of water
which will soak the subson to a great
depth, NIL up the old lake-beds, and thus
insure favorable crop season.

The Sugar Bounty.

The House of Representatives
during its closing hours has passed
one of the most beneficial laws, ano
tbat 50 materially affects the MAORI
ty OF the farmers Of Southern Louis
lana that it practically lifts them
from the Slough Of Despond and
places to the front again one OF the
most important industries of the
State. We have reference to the
senate sugar bounty amendment.
Not only does it affect the vast
refneries, the owners of which under
the glittering allurements of the
bounty act had obligated themselves
for large sums, bat the small planter
who raised one hundred tons of cane
or more is benefited likewise, and
he will now be able to square his
accounts aad start anew, not half
hearted but with a feeling that there
is something of value before him in
his future crop.
To those who owing to the refusal
of the refncries to fulfill their con-
tracts, and to those who failed to
make their contracts with a bounty
proviso we s~ympathize with, they
will lose all the benefits that accrue
from the bill and to which we think
they should be justly entitled.
Not only does the bill affect the
cane growers, every class of business
will feel the impulse that will be
given to every channel oil trade BY
the loosening of five millions Of dol
lars. Our people are to be eongrat-
ulated on its passage and should
thankth senate for its kind assls-
auce in securing its passage.

NAPHTnA LAMPS AID CRIME
Economy in Street Lighting Causes
Complaint From Police.
New Lights in BIoodfIeld Blow Out
Hourly and Handicap the Work
of the Police.

One OF the fruitful sources of complaint
In the Fourth police precinct is the naphtha
lamps, which have replaced gas lamps in
various shady parts of that precinct and
especially through BIoodficld. Even though
these lamps burned with all their candle
shadows from those dark and crine-stained
regions, but these lamps, SO the polite
say, cannot be depended on to burn their
brightest.
Every now and then one of them cXplodes,
covering the adjacent street with fire and
filling the citizens with terror Then they
blow out on the slightest provocation. Dur
ing the squall of two or three nights ago,
the police reported nearly every one of
these lamps as being out. 1t was said
the wind survived the storm.
Policemen on the beats where these lamps
occur have to spend part of their time each
night in writing on the incidental book of
the station the location OF the uaphtha lamps
not burning. The police of those parts think
that 1t would be in the interest of law and
order II the Commissioners should put ciet-
tric arc lamps through Bloodfield and its
alleys. rather than these din, yellow ma phtha
jets. 1t has been suggested that the resi-
other reputable streets where these lights
have supplanted gas, will petition that the
gas lamps he reinstated.
