The state is preparing to issue $4,000
of revenue warrants, says Pierre dis
patch, that course having been decided
upon by Gov. Lee when it became ap-
parent that the state would be compelled
TO either register general warrants or to
issue revenue warrants TO meet the
deficiency. The warrants will be sent
out Of here Monday to the governor for
his signature, and will, it is reported, all
be taken by Deadwood banks.

Trouble for Gov. Lee.

1t has currently been asserted, says a
late special telegram from Yankton to
the Minneapolis Tribune, that the only
means Of ousting the governor is by
impeachment but section of article IL
of the state constitution provides ex-
pressly for legal process for the re-
moval Of the governor upon conviction
of certain affairs committed in the
exercise of his Office, and these offenses
are the very ones which it is alleged
Gov. Lee did persistently commit during
the legislative session. 1t is not i'm
probable that information will be lodged
against him in the Hughes county
court, charging the corrupt use Of his
veto power and corrupt promises OF
patronage, both in the matter Of the
senatorial election and to influence
legislation.

pose to keep up their fire of blatherskite

wants is revenue to pay its expenses
and protection for home industries.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY
SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
Stackman Attacked by
Four Russians While Engaged in
Cutting Hay Which They Claimed
Narrowly Escapes with His Life.
Hay Causes Trouble

Small sized riots are of frequent occur
renee in the coded Sioux lands, directly
west OF Chamberlain, as the result OF har-
vesting the hay crop. The stockmen in
that region were taught severe lesson by
their failure to put up sufficient hay last
summer, and if next winter is as hard as
last they wish to be prepared for emergen-
,ies. Accordingly they are putting up
every pound Of hay available. A great
deal of this hay is cut on government land,
or on land belonging to homesteadcrs who
are temporarily out Of the country, and
much strife exists for its possession. a
few days ago, Henry Dell, prominent
stockman, was attacked by four Russians
while cutting hay which they claimed. and
1t waS.with difficulty that he escaped with
his life. Had he not been armed with a
knife. with which he struck savagely and
repeatedly at his assaiantS, cutting their
clothes in shreds, he might have been
killed. After being attacked by the Rus
SLAMS Dell had them arrested, and they
were fined nearly $50. besides having to
give up about sixty tons Of hay which they
had cut. In one locality in the ncighhor
hood 100 mowers are at work, and the
feeling between the stockmcn is quite bit

INSPIRED A FAMOUS SONG,
Death of the Woman Who Suggested
1.-THE Last Rose of Summer"

Death of the Woman Who Suggested
1.-THE Last Rose of Summer"
Mrs. Amelia Kohler died Saturday at
Mt. Vernon, n. Y. Had it not been for
Mrs. Kohler, Tom Moore might never have
written "The Last Rose of Summer" The
poem was of her suggestion and the first
line was from her lips. She was, early in
the century, close friend of Moore's sis
ter, who kept private school in London.
While walking in the garden of the school
with the poet one day Mrs. Kohler, so the
story runs, plucked rose, remarking:
"Tis the last rose OF summer; write
about it Mr.. Moore''
The incident suggested the thought that
was afterwards so beautifully woven into
verse, and the poem was dedicated "To
Amelia" which is Mrs. Kohers first
name. She was 90 years old when she
died, and frequently spoke of having seen
Napoleon in her girlhood.

vigorous efforts was restored to conscious

stronger every day. There can be no
ioubt that the strikes in the Yukon valley
are the richest ever known. Instances are
common where pans of gold have yielded
800, and occasionally more. It's generally

has been staked, and that so far as those
districts are concerned it is useless for
anyone to think of making locations. But
there are other streams, all of which are

TARIFF AGREED ON.
Differences Between Senate and
House Republicans Ad .iusted.

When the Republican conferees on the
tariff bill, representing the two houses of
congress, adjourned at 6 o'clock Saturday,
the announcement was made on behalf of
each of the houses that they had agreed on
all the items of the bill and that the result
of the partisan conference would be sub
mitted to the Democratic members of the
conference at a full meeting to be held ON
Monday. 1t is learned from an entirely
reliable source that a very large majority
of the senate amendments will be
accepted. A number of amend
ments made by the senate were verbal;
others were trivial, and still others were
made necessary to secure harmony on con-
struction. Senator Jones of Nevada, hold
ing as he did practically the balance of
power both in the senate and in commit
tee, was enabled to secure many conces-
sions for western interests in the senate,
and these he held without exception in the
conference. He even succeeded in secur-
ing degree of protection for beet sugar
greater than was given either in the senate
or the house bill. An entirely new sugar
schedule was agreed upon by the conferees.
1t is thought that the new measure will be
passed and signed by the end of the pres.
