In South Dakota.


All over South Dakota the prairie wolves,
on which there is n bounty OF 81 for every
scalp, aro being sacrificed by wholesale to
tho candidacy Of William j. Bryan and
tho nominees for state Offices on the free
silver ticket.
When the present campaign opened, the
silver ,lcrnent found itself somewhat
crampcd for funds. Few members Of the
party werc able to contribute except In
farm products, and these the local party
managers refused to accept, owing TO the
difficulty Ia ,lisposing of them 10 advan-
tage.
Finally somo financial genius living In
the neighborhood of Tyndal suggested 20
bis friends thgt money might be raised IA
each would pledge himself 10 turn into the
campaign fluid whatever he might receive
In wolf bounties between that time and
election day. The formers organized hunt
ing parties, and already several Thousand
dollars has Lcen raised aud placed in Tie
hands of the campaign managers 70 pe un-
voted 60 tho interest Of Bryan.
The wolves nre getting scarce, however,
and Il Is doubtful whether the supply wiz

Shirt Waist Collars.

The scheme to have detachable collars
with shirt waists is very happy
thought Of somebody, and the quick
popularity Of this style of waist attests
its general favor. One waist will easily
retain its freshness to wear through two

such only in name and does not neces-
sarily mean bodice with shirt front.
Some dressmakers also make up the
stylish shepherds plaid silk waists to
be worn with linen collars-white lin

few plain batiste collars have been
seen. Now York Times
