issue in the majority of the counties.

publicans had full tickets in the field,
while the populsts and prohibitionists
nominated candidates for governor

of sound money into the pockets of every
Dakota farmer

choice farming and ranch land lying east of
the Missouri river, and within one days

kota is profitable, and eastern capital is
now being invested in cattle and sheep
growing in that staCe.
Diversified farming, the growing of live
stock, and the products of The dairy, are
placing South Dakota forem ost in the ranks
of the successful western states.

THE great palace at Zanzibar, shelled
and destroyed the other day by the

rica squadron, was two-story struc-
ture built near the harbor front in old
oriental style. The palace was east of

by wharf and defended by a succeed
platform on which eight guns of in
ferior quality were mounted. The pal
ace inside was gorgeously arranged
and furnished. No potentate on any

be some wonderful displays of en-

hibited bearing portrait of the king
of Holland, but the execution was inn
perfect. This art has now been brought
almost to perfection. A large circular
stone bearing in delicate lines pansy
with its foliage is beautiful beyond de-

His annual income amou N is to $500 600.
Besides this he has large palace,
