Huronite: This incident is said to
have occurred in church not a thous-
and miles from Huron: A couple of
young people attended a lecture re-
Gently, and when the collection was be-
ing taken up the young man commenced
fishing in his pockets for a dime. His
face expressed his embarrassment as he
hoarsely whispered II haven't got a
cent; l changed my pants" and the
young lady, who had been examining
the unknown regions of woman's
dress for her purse, turned a bright
pink color as she replied ''I'm in the

ehalf of ex-senator Platt. of

behalf of ex-senator Platt, of n.
Y. 1t has never been believed
that Senator Quay was very
strongly opposed to McKinley's
nomination. In fact, he stated
a year or more ago that he was
for either Mckinley or Reed.
Since then he got the idea, which
the Mckinley tidal wave has
brushed aside, that he might get
the nomination himself, and
while that idea was working full
time he is believed to have made
an alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, with Mr.. Plat, which may
keep him in the field as a candi-
date, unless he can get certain
promises from Mckinley that will
enable Mr.. Plat to retain his
hold of his party's machine by
getting a liberal share of the
Federal patronage in New York
According to the best informa-
ton to be had, if he gets those
promises Gov. Morton and him
self will withdraw in Mckinley's
favor. 1t is believed in Washing
ton that he will get them, too.
Mckinley can probably be nomi-
mated without Platt's help, but
he cannot easily carry New York
without it, and the loss of New
York and the silver states, which
are expected to bolt the St. Louis
platform, would make his election
very doubtful.
A senator who ought to know
what he is talking about said to-
day: mckinley expects to get
$50 silver votes in the St. Louis
convention That's what is keep
ing him mum on finance. After
he gets the nomination he'll come
out flat-footed for a gold stand
ard. Mark the prediction"
The Senate is SLOWLY but sure
" dlsposing of the appropriation
bills, but nothing has been done
about adjournment yet.

A writer in Newspaperdom
says: Thy country paper is read
carefully, thoughtfully, critically.
Its influence upon opinion and
action is immensely the greatest
that the people of this country
knows. There is nothing. that
any shrewd politician breads with
a greater power than the concen-
trated emnity of the country press.
It has never failed, when honest
ly directed, to blast and wither.
This power is so great because
what appears about a politician
in his country paper is necessari-
ly read by his constituents. The
fortress that the country editor
holds is, after all, the strongest
citadel of freedom, and will be the
last to fall before the foe.

Sunday was day Of terrific
storms in Iowa. A cyclone start
ed in about two miles north of
Des Moines, and swept across the
state, crossing the Mississippi
river at McGregor, leaving trail
of death and destruction. The
dead are estimated at 90, and the
injured will reach into the nun
dreds, and the amount of proper
ty destroyed is at present beyond
calculation. The storm swept
eastward through Illinois and In
diana, doing great damage.

retarded immigration and depressed

uncertainty with no compensating ad-
vantages, moral or material.

Temperance, good order, honest gov
ernment, growth Of the state and ma

we do hereby organize ourselves into
an association to be known as The

And we do hereby advise and urge
our friends and all lovers of good or

| Sioux Falls will be enrolled first

village in the state and thus show
the fact that the business inter
ests of the state as we'll as a very
large part of the intelligent moral
influence is for repeal.
