William Bender, a rancher residing
near Hermosa, was brought to this
place on Saturday by his cousins, James
and Leo Bender, and submitted to an
examination by the board of insanity
as to the status of his mental condition.
After q thorough examination, it was
determined that he was of unsound
mind and a proper subject for the insane
asylum. His mania is not of a violent
type, and is periodical, being much Of
the time quiet and apparently rational.
1t was decided to take him home and
keep watch over him until word was
received from the asylum authorities as
to when they would receive him, which
was accordingly done, but finding it
difficult to restrain him, his condition
presumably becoming more violent, he
was again brought to this place on
Tuesday, and placed in charge of the
sheriff pending his departure for the
asylum at Yankton. The case is q sad
one, and is deeply deplored by the
friends of the unfortunate man.

A remarkable flowing well was re-
Gently completed at the Crow Greek In
dian agency. 4 gauge registering $50
pounds to the square inch was attached
to the well, and the needle reached the
$50 mark. The immense volume of
water supplied by this wonderful gusher
may be readily imagined when the fact
is considered that q number of wells in
the state which have a flow of more than
5000 gallons per minute, have a pressure
OF less than 125 pounds to the square

JAPANESE ENTERPRISE.

A good example of the methods Of
Japanese progress is given in report
made by the British consular service
on the railways of Japan. In this re-
port it is stated that there is a like
Iihood of the American manufacturers
of railway material ousting the Eng
lish at no distant date. When railways
were first established in Japan the
work was carried on by the English,
the manager was English, the building
was English, and in fact every
position of importance was held
by an Englishman. Naturally enough
the orders for material went to Eng
land But the Japanese quickly learn
ed all the arts of building and man
agement and the consular report
says that in Il very short time there
will not be foreign manager or de-
signer in the country.
The British engineer makes his own
design, and orders his material ac-
cordingly, while in the United States
the engineer states his requirements,
and the manufacturers send in their
projects based on their own designs.
The British bridge designer who has
been in Japan since 1882 has recently
left his post and henceforth the work
will be in the hands of the Japanese.
A good proportion of the Japanese have
been educated in the United States
and will consequently follow the
American system and patronize Amer
lean firms.
This outlook of course is very bright
for the American firms just at present,
but it will not be many years before
the Japanese will be sufficiently

The Cuban campaign has become so
distasteful to the Spanish military of

to be retired when their turn comes
to go to Cuba. One Spanish journal
suggests that each discharge of this

Still another journal makes no excuse
for the apparent lack of bravery, but
simply says: 1T is difficult for the
army to remain unchanged when all

turing into their own hands, and then
the American will be left in the cold.
TO use a Yankee term, the Japanese
are foxy; their strong nationality
and the desire to make all roads lead
to Japan will be felt even by Ameri-
cans at no distant date. They are apt

firms are now rejoicing over the down
fall of English power, and the conse-
quent increase of American exports,

COOPERATION IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The wonderful progress of the co.
brought to public attention recently
when the Twenty-eighth Cooperative
Congress convened in Woolwich In
the opening address delivered by the
Earl of Winchilsea it was remarked
that while in 1865 there were $50 soci-
cites, with membership of 100000,
and capital amounting to &1,000,000,
the number had in 1895 increased to
1,750 societies, with 100000 members
and an aggregate capital of 6,000,-
900. Thus in the course of three de-
cades the number of societies had been
more than doubled and the capital
had been increased to sixteen times
the amount held by them in the be-
ginning. This display is certainly a
feather in the cooperative cap, and
best of ALL there is every prospect for
continued success.
In suggesting new lines for the adj
vance of the cooperative movement
in the future, the speaker said CO.
operators did not allow that uncheck-
ed competition brought with it a
sufficiently equitable division of prof
its; they were determined that every
man should have suitable reward for
his labor, and the movement was in
itself a proof of the increasing edu-
cational and social development of the
ola led nv
a marvellous spirit of unity, but this
should not be carried to such length
as to create a special privileged class.

An excellent idea was suggested in
the formation of a great cooperative
society for the growth. collection and
distribution of British produce. The |
proposition would be to ask producers |
and consumers equally to take shares |
in it, allow capital to have its fair re-
ward, say 4 to 5 per cent, and |
divide the remainder of the profits be-

production, and consumers in proper

According TO the decorations of the
