lions OF war for the fighting patriotic

Silver Heels crept out OF this Iort by

ing, and while the deputy marshals were
securing the east river and the upper
bay in vain search She was flying down
the sound before the impetus of a howl
Ing wind from the west.
' yrohting by experience, costly on
i.iore than II occasion. and with due
regard to the lesson of the Interrupted
Bermuda expedition the Cubans had laid
their plans so we'll that their success
ful execution was apparently independ-
ent even Of secrecy. The plans Were. in
fact. known to the Spanish consul and
to the United States officials.
The revenue cutter Chandler lay in
berth at the Battery with a full head of
steam UP, her decks crowded with dep
uty marshals, Pinkertons and newspa-
per reporters. awaiting only a precon-
certed signal to start. If the schooner
had attempted to go to sea by way of
Sandy Hook she would have been inter
cepted, but she did not attempt it.
The Silver Heels is said to nave car
ried some 10000 metallic cartridges and
5000 repeating rifles, besides a stock of

AT / o'clock this morning information
direct from the jury room was to the eff.
feet that a disagreement had taken
place, both sides being obstinate, and
the chances for an agreement before

Rapid City, Oct. 1S.-Ycstcrday COM
plete maps of the Dakota Pacific rail
road We're filed in the United States
land office of this city by the chief en-
ginecr of the company. The line is
u on the old Dakota, Wyoming and
Missouri river road and everything
now points to q speedy completion of
this important road. Several years
ago eastern capitalists, together with
the business men of Rapid
City. started 10 build a rail
road from this city to Mys-
tic up in the hills about thirty miles
west. There is Il very rich mining
district in that direction which has
never been developed because of the
cost of transportation of ore overland
to the mills. Mystic is on the Burning
ton leading to Deadwood. The road
bed was nearly all built and, beginning
from this end of the line, about twelve
miles of rails have been laid. For some
reason the money supply became eN-
hausted which brought a sudden Ter
mination to the work. Since that time
w. ~. Cond, president of the company,
has been at work in the east end@avor-
ing to enlist some capital and has fin
ally succeeded. The completion of this
road means great things for the south
crn Hills, and for Rapid City in partic-
ular. 1t means the opening again of
the chlorination plant in this city
which has been closed for some time
and which is the largest plant in the
Hills, as well as the starting again of
The machine shops and foundries.
Furthermore the completion of this
road r~evives the hope OF the extension

HARRISBURG IS SEEKING AID

Trying to Force the milwaukee to
to Maintain II Depot Tiicrc--
Sioux Falls, Oct. 15.-The trouble with
the insane people at the poor farm. has
baen 50 great recently that the county
commissioners nave decided to appoint
a superintendent of the insane kept in
this county. This arrangement will be
necessary until the state makes ar
rangements to have the insane who
have been committed to the state asy-
lurn cared for either at the asylum or
outside of the state. The superintendent
of the poor farm is in constant worry
lest the insane inmates commit some
violence or set fire to the buildings. The
more people appreciate the danger of
caring for insane in the poo houses, the
more decided is their criticism of the
Veto of the bill providing for an addition
to the asylum.
The railroad commissioners have TAX
en- under advisement the application OF
the citizens of Harrisburg in this u
ty who ask the commission to force the
Milwaukee railroad to maintain a sta
ton agent at thai place. The commits
sion visited HARRISBURG, to take testi-
mony and examined eleven witnesses.
of which number only one appeared for
the company. The Harrisburg people
testified that between 200 mi 300 cars
of freight were annually shipped from
Harrisburg and that from sixty to sew
enty cars We're received. This business
they thought was sufficient to make
them entitled to an agent and to better
accommodations. 1t is almost certain
that the commissioners will grant the
application.
During the last year the convicts
farmed 345 acres of land. Among the
products are 1890 bushels of oats, 1900
bushels of potatoes, 1.5O0 squash, 1915
cabbages, 100 bushels of beets, eighteen
tons of feed beets, 400 bushels of onions
and $50 bushels of carrots.
In September, 1896, Warden N. E..
Phillips of the state p~enitentiary put his

of a high stone wall about the big build
ing. h wall is now completed. 1t is
1,1S2 feet in length and has an average
height of thirty-five feet. 1t is line get
thick at the base and carries neal the
top a guard walk for the entire distance.
When the wall was first talked of archi-
tects said 1t would cost $780, 900. The to-
tai cost to the state of the completed
wall is less than $40 The wall is
built of Sioux Falls granite and adds
much to the security of the place.
