A National Bureau of Volunteer Speakers
to be Organized-A Roll of Honor for
Active Workers.
ST. LouIE, Dec. 9.-The game hunted
by w. j. Bryan, Gov. Stone, Senator
Jones and other distinguished demo-
Gratis recently, was flushed in this city
Tuesday when Walter j. Vrooman, of.
this city, returned from visit to
Washington. When the party of hunt
ers disbanded it had been agreed to
carry on an aggressive campaign of sill
yer agitation for the next four years
and Mr.. Vrooman announces the pro-
gramme. The national bureau of vol
unteer speakers is organized with
headquarters in st. Louis and Wash
ington. Mr.. Vrooman, who has been
secretary of the st. Louis civic feder-
alton, was chosen chairman and secre-
tary of the bureau, and Lee Merri-
wether, labor commissioner of Missou-
ri, treasurer.
The purpose of the bureau is to main
tain speakers in every county in the
United States. These speakers must
pass an examination as to their fitness
and will be supplied with all the argu-
ments and statistics obtainable. The
field workers will organize free silver
clubs and make monthly reports of
progress. One of the incentives to ac-
tive work is roll of honor. This will
be made up of those workers achieving
the best results and place on the roll
of honor will be the strongest creden-
tial for preferment to successful dem
ocratic candidate for president in 1900.
Mr.. Bryan has consented to become
custodian of the roll of honor.

A Report of tho Death of Gen. Antonio
Maceo Causes Great Rejoicing In Ha-
vana-Truth of the Story In Doubt.
MADRID, Dec. 9.-The Havana cores
pondent of the Impartial has sent
dispatch TO that paper which has
saused rejoicing among the people of
this city, who take it for granted that
the statements made are true. The
correspondent claims that he has per-
;onally made an investigation of re-
ports current in Havana of the death
Of Antonio Maceo, second in command
Of the rebel army, and the son of Max
lmo Gomez, the rebel commander-in-
chief, and found them to be true. In
official circles the report is accepted
with reserve. The correspondent gives
the details of the defeat by Spanish
force of 1000 rebels near Punta Brava,
about 10 miles west of Havana. The
insurgent loss is placed at 40 killed.
There were found among the dead
rebels the body of man on which
were found documents which lead to
the belief that the dead man was the
son of Maxine Gomez. Among the
papers found was one on which, writ
pSh Wloh IL iCuu peuCll, was Jle CoulSb-
sion that the writer had committed
suicide rather than abandon the body
of Antonio Maceo. The war diary of
Maceo was also found. In it there is
an entry which says the rebels crossed
the trocha on December 4. 1t is con-
cluded from these circumstances that
Maceo was killed in the engagement
with Maj. Cirujeda's command. The
news of his death has caused the great
est kind of a sensation in Havana. The
loyalists are jubflant, believing that
with the killing of Maceo blow has
been struck at the rebellion that will
result in it's speedy suppression. The
rebel sympathizers feel very despond-
though number of them place little
confidence in the truth of the news.
The government officials vouchsafe
no information as to how Maceo, with
a superior force operating against him
and supposed to be watching his move
ments, could have eluded the Spanish
forces, doubled on them, crossed the
trocha at what has been supposed the
strongest part of it, and reached the
province of Havana without any
known interference until he reached a
point comparatively close to Havana.
Though the Spaniards are confident
that Maceo is really dead this time,
some of the Cubans profess to believe
that the finding of the confession and
diary was due to trick of the insur-
gents to delude the Spanish into the
belief that Maceo was killed, while he
pursues his plan of reaching Gomez.
| The important news reached Havana
Monday night, but the censor would
not permit of it's being cabled until
last evening. 1t is also rumored that
Gen. Weyler has been slightly wounded.

WHEN the University of Chicago was
started it was thought good policy to
secure eight or ten of the best men in
the country by offering them the un-
precedented salary of $1,000. But
aside from the few men thus favored
for special reason at the beginning,
other salaries have been fixed upon
about the scale that obtains at Yale,
Harvard and half dozen other first
class institutions. In other words,
$1,000 is the maximum that any in-
structor may hope to reach, while the
rank and file OF the men are paid from
81, 500 to 81, 900.

WHEN one is lying down the heart
makes about ten strokes less a minute
than when one is upright That means
a saving of 600 strokes per hour, or
about 5000 heart beats during the
eight hours spent in bed. The heart
pumps six ounces of blood with each
beat. 1t therefore lifts 10000 ounces
less of blood in night of eight hours
spent in bed than when one is in an
upright position. The blood flows just
SO much the more slowly through the
veins when one is lying down, there
fore one has to use extra coverings to
supply the warmth usually furnished
by circulation.

Tho Crop Outlook in South Dakota for
1897.

1t requires but small amount of rain
fall in South Dakota to mature the crop.
During 1895 South Dakota had, up to Sep
tember Both, three and seven'tenths inches
more of rainfall than for any of the pre-
vious sixteen years. Since September Both
there has been added at least three or four
inches to the excess, making gain of near
ly eight inches more than the average.
Early in November there were heavy rains,
depositing over two inches, and since then
there have been heavy SHOWS, and about
foot of snow covered the ground on Novem-
ber 25th. Dakota farmers have abundance
of hay and great supplies OF oats, barley
and corn. Wheat has advanced to about
seventy cents bushel In the local market,
and prospects for further advance are good.
The ground will come out in the spring bet
ter soaked than ever before. The prospect
for better prices next year is good. There
are thousands of people in the East who
could do no better than to go to South Da-
kota now and buy their seed and feed for
next year, and move out in the spring.
First-class farming land in South Dakota,
along the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee, q
st. Paul railway, can now be bought at
from SO to $l5 an acre. The creamery ln-
dustry and stoclS-raising in South Dakota
will greatly increase during 1871. For fur
