Editor OF the New York Sun Dies
After a Protracted Illness.
Charles A. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun, died at his home in Glencove,
Long Island, at 1:20 o'clock Sunday after
noon.
Mr.. Dana's death had been expected for
several hours, and his family and ply
sicians were at his bedside when the end
came. His condition had been such for
several months that the members of his
family had kept themselves in constant
readiness to 90 to his bedside at any mo-
ment. On Saturday morning he had a.
relapse, and it was apparent that recovery
was impossible.
Several times, however, he rallied, but
toward night began to sink. During tho
night there were feeble rallies, but they
did not last long, and his attendants re-
manned almost constantly at his bedside.
The end came quietly.
The cause of Mr. Dana's death was
cirrhosis Of the liver. On June Q he waS
at his office, apparently strong and healthy
The next day he was taken III, and he
never aftcrward visited New York. IIo
was IS years old.

condition Of affairs at the Illinois Soldiers
and Sailors Orphans Home mt Normal,

school has been placed in charge Of an in
experienced girl OF 90 years and that to
make matters worse the board OF trustees
has issued an order abolishing the power
OF punishment on the part OF the school

what it should be and that more children
have recently run away than ever before.
Whether true or not, these complaints

DcadwoOd and Lead May Clash with

Spcnrfish Creek BE Condemned
Former Cities in Need Of Water.
Black Hills Water Supply.

Without a question the finest stream of
water in the Black Hills is Spearfish Creek.
The people OF the large mining camps,
such as Deadwood and Lead, have been
coyetous Of the beautiful stream for years,
and now step is about to be taken by the
citizens of these towns to bring a portion
of the water to the towns. At a joint
meeting Of the water committees of the
two cities, which have been appointed to
look up the matter Of new water systems,
it was proposed TO condemn 200 inches of
the water from the creek and bring it in
pipes to the cities. They have measured
the volume o. water in the creek and find
1t is $500 inches. which, they say, is more
than can be use,l by the Spearfish people.
The Spearfish people claim that there
are water rights held by people in the city
and by those living along the creek for
irrigating purposes amounting to 5000
inches, and that there is not nearly en- ough
water, even for the present needs. Dead
wood and Lead are much i'm need of a new
supply of water. :: There is not enough
even for FIRE protection, and the quality Is
questionable. There will be trouble if an
attempt is made to carry out the present
plans Of the water committees. If water
cannot he gotten from this source it is a
serious question where a suitable supply
can be obtained.

TAMPERED WITH.

Been Going on for Years.
StoIe silver Dollars.
ELK POINT. s. D.

Tho United States treasury has been
robbed Of a lot OF its silver dollars. The
nations strong box has been tempered
with. just how much money has been
taken has not yet been ascertained, but it
may reach into the thousands. The trouble
Is that the thcfts, each small in amount,
have been going on for years; how long
nobody knows.
The probable seriousness Of the robbery
may be imagined from the fact that a force
Of fifty clerks is now engaged in counting,
piece by piece, the contents Of vault in
which 100, Ooo, 600 silver dollars were stored,
for the cole purpose Of finding out how
many OF them have been stolen. This
work was commenced a week ago, and the
force has averaged Z count Of 100000 coins
aday. At this rate the job will last about
six months. and will cost at least $o5, 900.
The bags Of silver dollars are each sup
posed TO contain 600 coins, and they are
usually counted by weighing each sack on
. pair Of scales. and for the last four
months force OF trusted clerks and la
borers has been employed in handling the
heavy bags. One Of the colored laborers
would get on top Of the piled up heaps of
bags Of coin and pass the sacks from the
rear to his assistants in front. The man
who did this work was John Martin. one
Of the moE trusted employees in the Office.
One day he was discovered in the act of
opening one OF the bags, abstracting a
handful OF silver dollars and substituting a
few Jumps OF lead Of the same weight in
their place.
A sample bag was taken at random out
OF the heap and opened. 1t was found to
contain pieces Of lead instead of some OF
the coins that should have been there.

Club possessed One Three Hill for three
years. Finding the property was being
wantonly destroyed or stolen, the club
caused the ground to be fenced in, thus
shutting out the general public, to the
great delight Of the neighboring residents,
whose life had been made hideous because
OF the congregating there of drunken dog
fighting rufiians from the slums of Dept
ford. Thereupon it was claimed that the
public's sights were being cncroached
upon, and the agitation against the golf
ers, assiduously fomented, eliminated oni
Sunday last, when a mob of about 1000
persons, armed with clubs and stones,
tore down the fence and demolished every
thing in sight They destroyed the golf
links. and reinforced by over 1900 other
rioters, the mob advanced upon the club
house, driving the golfers within. Bricks

less than the average amount carried. The
ordinary demand for silver coin has
averaged 1000 day, but during the past

Mrs. Vanderhulc Makes Bigger
Noise Than the Gospel Host.
Mrs. Vanderhule, who resides next door
to the Salvation Army barracks in Yank
ton, has been greatly annoyed by the beat
ing of the big drum. The city authorities
have been unable to afford any relief, so
Mrs. VanderhuIc has taken the matter
into her own hands. In the second story
OF her residence she has suspended a Sec
ton at sheet iron ten feet long, and every
evening as soon as the Salvationists COM
mence their performance, she begins a
symphony with an ak handle on the sheet
iron. This she continues as long as the
drum beating in the adjacent room is kept
up. The result is that the noise of the
Salvation Army drum is completely
drowned, even in the army hall. Mrs.
Vanderhule enjoys the exercise and is pre-
pared for winters campaign if neces-
sary. She says that as long as the army
does not beat the drum it may have every
thing its own way

MASSIVE PENlTENTiARv WALL
Average OF Thirty.Fivc Feet High
and Nine Feet Thick ut Base.

Average OF Thirty.Fivc Feet High
and Nine Feet Thick ut Base.
What is said to be the strongest stone
wall surrounding any state prison in the
United States was completed around the
South Dakota State penitentiary one day
last week. The average height of the
wall is thirty-five feet. The base of the
wall is nine feet thick and the top four feet
thick, and the wall goes down below the
surface from four to nine feet. The trim
mings Of this wall, which is 1882 feet in
length, are of Kasota white stone, but the
main structure is of Sioux Falls granite.
In its building the contractors used 1,65O
cords of Sioux Falls granite, which was
quarried by the convicts, 1850 yards Of
sand and $50 barrels of cement. There
are five guard towers, one over each
entrance and three at the corners. The
wall was commenced a year ago but work
was suspended during the winter months.
The value Of the wall to the state is 49,, coo,
bat it was constructed at cost to the state
of only $4,000
