PETTIGREW TALKS PLAIN
Railroad Combines and GOIdbugs De-
Misunderstanding Gold Con-
tracts Should be De-
clared q Crime.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Feb. 2O.A large
audience assembled last night to heal
Senator Pettigrew's promised speech ex.
posing the combine the railroads are
said to have formed to overthrow him.
He declared that the railroads had for
years been conspiring to cheat South
Dakota of her rights and years ago the
| jobbers of Sioux Falls combined to
bring before the legislature bill to cor.
rect the abuses.
Although the Republican party adopted
plank supporting this move, the legis.
lature was absolutely controlled by the
lobby, who were in the pay of foreign
corporations, and the bill was killed.
He took the most advanced stand
against the gold standard. He favored
demonstrating gold and making it crime
to make gold contracts.
He appealed to the people to rise and
overthrow eastern influences and demand
the rights of the west.
He warned his hearers that unless they
did at once take up arms against the
gold men and the railroads, the Republi.
can party was doomed here and the Pop
ulists would become dominant.

NEW ENGLAND'S NORTHEASTER

Considerable Damage to shipping. and
Serious Injury to Fruit Trees.
BOsToN, Sept. 1.-THE northeast
storm which swept the New England
coast has not passed, although the force
is somewhat less. The wind comes in
heavy gusts. The rain does not cease,
and the observer at the signal station
says it may not clear before night. Con.
siderable damage has been done along
the water front by the combined action
of the heavy rain and the unusually
high tide which prevailed. Many cell
lars were flooded and wharves and low
lying streets were swamped. Aside from
this not much damage was done here.
Reports from New England coast cities
indicate that considerable damage has
been done to shipping, but news of dis
asters will probably not be received for
day or two.
From inland points come stories of
much damage to crops and fruit trees.
The latter suffered most severely Oh
account of the high wind.-The damage
in this respect will be quite heavy. "
