A glass house and a feather bed used
to be considered the lightning proof
mediums behind which timid persons
could seek refuge from the possibility
of being stricken by an electrical bolt
But these are old-fashioned ideas now,
compared with the lightning proof pa
per suit which New York genius mas
just invented, patented ans invited fear
full and aPprehensive people TO try.
This suit is made of fiber pulp and
car be made to look exactly like any
other suit of clothes. Paper is a poor
conductor. and a man arrayed in such
garments might go forth and defy
lightning. even if it should show spe-
cial preference for him.
THIS is particularly the case, if hat
is worn made of this same stuff In
side of this should be placed a piece of
newspaper, and inside the clothing
should also be laid folds of newspaper,
which would do as well as a paper suit.
The paper suit is also a good thing
for summer excursions, for If it gets
ruined in the rain, there won't be much
loss. Those whose nerves are upset by
atmospheric disturbances had better
wrap themselves up in paper during the
electric summer storms, even if they do
not have suits made up a Ia mode and
with seams and buttons to hold them
together.

him to repay the amount of his loan.
"Nliss Yune, shall not receive that
money. It was requested as loan, but

Some demopops seem determined to
prevent any return of prosperity if
they can avoid it by keeping up Il con
tinued political wall. denouncing every
thing and satisfied with nothing. They
do not want anybody to have conf
dence in anything-prefer to have
everyone believe that the country is
going to the devil as fast as it can, if it
has not already reached that point.
They seem to have taken so much de-
light and pleasure out of the past bust
ness depression that they want to help
keep it up. They alladmit that a presi-
Dental campaign year is a dreadful
p~aralyZer to business, and still they
proceed at once upon the presidential
campaign of 1900. More than ever do
such agitators convince us that presi-
dents should be elected for a term of
six years at least. The country has
too much politics in it.

The eastern part of South Dakota,
being largely devoted to wheat raising,
is nov enjoying "a season of prosperity
because the price of wheat continues
to go up. and the farmers over there
raised fairly good crops last season.

hands are again employed and can af-
ford to buy all the good flour they
need, this will also help further raise

earthly legislation can help them.

1t is not in the least strange that the
people. in the eastern part of South
Dakota were greatly surprised when
they learned that every Black Hills
county had given Bryan and the popu
list state ticket II majority. They had
reason to believe otherwise for the rea-
son that the Black Hills counties never
had solidly gone against the republican
ticket-the counties of Fall River and
Custer never having been n ti-republi-
can upon the head of the ticket. Law.
ence and Pennington counties have
been threatened with II dose of %
lism before now. but leading republi-
cans of those counties seemed conf
dent of success this year-more SO, APP
parently, than the republicans of Fall
River were of victory here. In fact
Fall River county was estimated
as doubtful by the state central COM
mittee, through their advices from our
county central committee, which was
always careful and conservative in
making it's estimates.

the election of Mckinley, giving en-
ployment to 155,495 men; also a list of
10 others employing 1O.65O which were
running on part time and are now on

"Mr. Bryan and others are telling us
how to save the democratic party and

Mobile Register, which was one of Mr..
Bryan's stanchest supporters during
the late campaign. zone mans opinion

which is to this effect: The democrats
of this country will have to learn, as
truths, these things before they can
ever again hope to control the govern.
ment of this republic: That bimetal-
ism, or the concurrent use of gold and
silver at "a parity is a myth. That there
is no natural antagonism between labor
and capital. That socialism is negation
of progress, and that progress is the
keynote of the republic. That the
federal government has the right to
execute its own court processes. That
the credit of the United States must
be sustained"

TIE HUN OF INDUSTRY.

It was General Harrison who said
during the late political campaign that
the prospect of republican success never
did hinder business and it would seem
from the reports of the great CONNER
cial agencies that the victory of the
grand old party has started the wheels
of industry and had II magical effect
upon all lines of trade. r. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade of the
14th inst. says:
No one doubts that the brighter day
is dawning. and it is the common re-
mark that never before has business
shown so great II change for the better
within a single week. Dispatches tell
ing OF about 800 establishments which
have opened or have materially enlarged
their force, though they fill many col
umns, give only part of the fact, for
throughout the country the gain has
been surprising even to the most hope
full. 1t is not mere speculation or hope
which lights the fires and starts the
wheels, for orders which have been ac-
cumulating for months, with the nec-
essary replenishment of dealers stocks
now greatly reduced, would employ the
whole producing force for q time, and
the increase in the number of hands at
work means increase in purchases for
consumption.
Foreign need of American wheat con-
tinues an important factor and the
price has advanced to SO cents, gaining
"a cents since early in September.
The price is the highest since June,
1892. Western receipts we're only A.
494,O33 bushels against 8,2O2.86 last
year, but the election cut off much
work during the days in which these
receipts were started to market.

The prohibition amendment is to be
tested before the supreme court of the
state, the w. c. r. U. having employed
MI. Cranmer, of Aberdeen, to test the
legality of the manner in which it was
submitted. They propose to contest it
on the ground that the legislature. in
resnbmitting the question did not fol
low the provisions of the constitution
as to the method in which it shall be
amended.
Another point has been raised to the
effect that the provision of the consti-
tuition providing that to amend the
constitution it shall require a majority
vote to carry, means a majority of the
entire vote cast, and not a majority of
the vote cast upon that proposition.

ton can be of much weight.
