Ernest Seyd

Was one of the most unique charac-
tiers OF this century. While yet young
he had written and talked enough TO
establish reputation over two hem
ispheres for financial wisdom and
philanthropy. Under the sacred i'm
pulse of international patriotism he
came to this country in 1873 to deliver
us from the CALLING bondage of sill
yer standard. His London syndicate
of bondholders and bankers entrusted
him with five hundred thousand dol
lars for missionary work in the Amer
lean Congress. Mr.. Seyd was very
insinuatipg and gracious. He had
universal access to committee rooms
and secret chambers. Learned Con-
gressmen quoted him in their speech
es as final authority on matters of fir
ance. The new coinage bill gained
free course because 1t was announced
in Congress that DR.. Seyd had gra-
ciously given it some artistic touches
in the committee.
DR.. Seyd returned to London with
out his 100000, but his clients in
London were i've hundred millions
richer. In a confidential mood he
said with chuckle: "In few years
they will realize what they have DONE"
We know now. Ever since the dis
covcry of the contents of DR.. Seyd's
gold-coated pill Congressman have
been protesting their ignorance of its
nature. The gold party now hold
that honor and salvation require us
to continue to take DR.. Seyd's medi-
cine in his infamous bill OF 1873, until
the European syndicate sends over
another man to help us quit. Ernest
Seyd is dead, but John p. Morgan and
his European syndicate are attending
to his business. They cannot fool all
the people all the time"

TRAGEDY.
The Sad Ending Of a Good and
Honest Man.

On last Tuesday afternoon, at about
3 O'clock, Mr.. James II. (Poke) Smith
took his own life with the use of a
forty-four derringer pistol, which he
placed near the right temple. Death
was instant and without struggle
He was found about thirty minutes
after the shot was fired sitting in an
med chair in front of small mirror
with the pistol grasped in his right
hand. No reason was assigned for the
rash act. He had beena great sufferer
from neuralgia for several years, and
it is supposed that while suffering
with intense paroxysm his mind was
dethroned and he fred the fatal shot.
Mr., Smith lived about six miles from
this city on the old home farm, was
bachelor, fifty-four years old, and was
one of our best and most highly es.
teemed citizens. After service at the
grave by Elder w. r, Tibbs he was
bnrried with Masonic honors. He
had been leading farmer and for
twenty years bought horses and mules
here and sold them on the Southern
markets.

The state board of regents at its recent
session ousted n j. L.. Robinson OF
Gary from the Brookings college board
Of trustees as he had been illegally ap-
pointed at a meeting at Aberdeen to
Mr.. Carter's place before the term of the
latter expired. The Brookings Register
OF the 18th further says: The board OF
regents adjourned Thursday evening
They stated that there was much i'm
portans business which ought to, bu,
could not be transacted on account OF
the continuous harrassing OF their
actions by McLouth and Shannon. Al
this time they say, important irrigation
and dairy matters connected with the ex-
pertinent station must be considered,
and unless these questions are promptly
attended to there is danger of the fund be-
ing withdrawn by the government as it
has been in Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma
and other states. Restraining orders
have been secured by DR.. McLouth and
President Shannon from Judge
Campbell, preventing the board from
aver meeting at all, on the grounds, as
Shannon states in his affidavit, that he
is afraid their acts will degrade him
(Shannon) in the estimation Of the citi.
zens Of the state" and deprive him OF
the emoluments Of the office"

Character Than Previous Ones.
MINNEAPOLIs, March 3O.-The COM
bine of spring wheat millers that was
recently formed, promises to be of a
more enduring character than any pre-
vious combination. AS yet only four
mills are known that have not entered
into the agreement. An order, re-
ceived in New York March II, to the
effect to advance Minnesota patents to
the basis of $3. so was the first intima-
ton given of the new combination.
The classification and prices said to
have been arranged in New York is as
follows:
The mills have been divided into
three classes, "a" b &C." with a
difference of 5, 10 and 20 cents on the
different brands. All the Minneapolis
brands except Pillsbury's Best is in
Guided in class 'A."> Glass "B' com-
prises all the Duluth and Superior
mills, and class &C. all the Milwaukee
and country mills: The prices are:

patents, 81. 80; class &C" spring pat

metrical figures interspersed with dots,
dashes and stripes. The list of different
designs would be too great to give in
detail may say, however, that through
nearly all of these and the dull wool
there are many chevron stripes, and
there are cloud effects as well as the old
favorite patterns woven i'll some way
which virtually makes them new again.
The soleil or sunny grounds with dull
brocaded figures are very pretty. One
design has o surface like farmers satin
with tiny fower-de-luce pattern.
The empress cloth cord is shown in
immense quantities and of different de-
grees of fineness. Some Of these are
quite smooth but more have exquisite
brocaded patterns thrown over them,
always in black, but i'll different grade
of wool, which gives it the appearance
of a different color. If one wished to be
poetic, one could liken some of the
designs to teardrops, thunderstorms,
chain lightning and breaking waves, to
say nothing of the flowers which are
produced so cleverly i'll black and white.
All these are smooth faced goods, but
there is an endless line of rough and
rugged stuffs. The majority of all gowns
and coats this coming season will be
fuzzy and have curled figures over the
surface, forming lines, stripes, plaids
and hundreds of detached figures. Those
will not all be black by any means.
Sometimes ,'ere will be black surface
with plaids or figures in boucle in one
or several other colors. There are very
many silk and wool mixtures They are
always elegant. The silk warp hen
rietta, the clairette and the eudora
take the lead. The eudora is always
black and is the most perfect dress
goods in silk and wool ever produced
The henrietta is in several shades Of
gray and black. The clairette is white,
cream and gray only.
The empress cloth is one of the re-
vivals and is very beautiful. There is a
corded warp and smooth wool, so that
! the material resembles in some ways the
lovely whipcord. Foulard is also among
the fall goods This is in all colors with
dots of contrasting color, large OF
