OUR COAST DEFENSES
A CONVENTION 70 BE HELD TO Dis
CuSS THEM.

IN Csss Of war with . Foreign rnaaon
Our Cossts Could BE RiddIed and In
uredabls Damage Done-A Gathering Of
Deep interest For All Patriotic Citizens.
A convention will meet at Tampa,
Fla, on Jan. 81 which ought to be we'll
attended and which certainly ought to
have an interest for the whole country.
It is called BY the governor Of Florida
In circular letter which he has sent to
the governors Of all the other states.
and the object of it. as he sets forth in
his letter, is to "discuss methods for
the proper defense Of southern harbors
and to devise means for their better
ment. The harbors which he has in
mind are those of the southern Atlantic
seaboard and of the gulf.
The call for this gathering comes at
q peculiarly opportune time. The posi-
bility of trouble with Spain gives
deep interest to the subject Of protection
for the coasts. 1t happens in this case
that the part of the coast which would
be the handiest to attack Is the part
which is the least adequately defended.
All tho country's ports are weak in
means to repel an enemy, and those
from the Virginia coast around to Flori-
da and Texas particularly co..
The danger to be guarded against is
not the possible holding of any of these
ports-for nobody in Europe or any
where else believes any foreign nation
could do this foI more than few days
at the outside-but the destruction or
serious injury Of some Of them by a
sudden dash might be an incident Of a
war with even third rate power like
Spain.
This peril should give the whole
country "a deep interest in the coming
gathering and impel every state to send
delegates to it. There is no immediate
danger of trouble with Spain or any
other country; but. as before mentioned,
this Cuban conflict. unless the jingoes
are suppressed, may involve the United
States at any time. Yet, even if this Gu
ban struggle were ended, the necessity
for strengthening the country's harbors
would remain.
The defenseless condition of the coasts
shows lack of forethought which ex-
poses as to ridicule and at the same
time deprives the country to some ex-
tent of weight in diplomatic matters
commensurate with its extent and re-
sources The creation of an adequate
system Of coast defenses will require the
labor Of years, and beginning Of the
work cannot with safety be any longer
neglected. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

desires to send free TO mankind prescrip-

costs nothing to try the experiment Il
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply Interested In remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence Of untold misery. As the remedy
In question was the result OF many years'
research as to what combination would be
peculiarly effective In restoring TO men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nerv-

Luckless Dee Watt Of Mississippi.

Dee Watt, who lives just over the
Kemper line in Sumter county, is the
most unlucky individual we heard Of in
many moons. Last spring he had 100
head Of fine hogs and 1000 BUSHES Of
corn. and he began feeding them, with
the expectation of soon having carload
Of fat porkers to put OH the market.
Just about the time he was getting
ready to ship cholera broke out among
them, and all but % died. During one
of the first cold spells we had he killed
1900 pounds of those that escaped the
cholera, and that spoiled. He is now

A. Residence Burned.

The residence of Henry Richardson
located on Harvey, near Ninth street,
was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday
night. The fire was ~discoyered by
Night Waterman Greisen about /
o'clock, when an alarm was given, and
in a short time q number Of citizens,
located near the scene. were putting
forth their best efforts TO extinguish the
flames. 1t was soon found impossible
to cope with it, there being no adequate
facilities for the purpose, and their at
tention was directed to saving the
movable effects, and the adjoining
buildings, which, for a time seemed in
iminent danger of destruction. Through
the perseyering efforts Of the citizens,
practically all Of the household effects
were saved, and the fire kept from
spreading to adjoining buildings. The
fire originated in the roof, and was due
to a defective fue.
Mr.. Richardson's loss will probably
reach $1,000, which is partially covered
by an insurance policy of $500, He was
fortunate in being the possessor of a
farm near the city, upon which there is
a comfortable residence, into which he
removed his family on Monday.

A. w. Drew, the well known stock
man, came in the latter part of last
week from the Flying V range on the
ceded lands of the Sioux reservation
where his cattle is ranging. Mr.. Drew
reports q great deal Of rain on the range
during March, and up TO the middle of
April, there having been twenty days Of
rain during that period. lie says the
grass is very promising. Concerning
the stock, he says that nil cattle not held
in pastures or feed lots, drifted southeast
in November. The most of the cattle
from this range, which includes Choteau
and Rhinehart counties, are between
the Moreau and Bad rivers, east Of the
reservation line, where conditions have
been more favorable than upon their
own range. The losses will be mainly
confined to poor cows with unweaned
calves, COWS that calved very early, and
through stock brought in late in the
season. Going north the losses increase
as n result of the heavier snow fall.
Mr.. Drew estimates the loss on cows
and through cattle at about 90 per cent,
the loss upon other stock being nominal.

being the most serious. He was on
the street Thursday, being on the rapid
road TO complete recovery.

N The Custer fire bell, as a medium of
alarm, is a fiat failure. Citizens located
one or two blocks distant from it, many
Of them, failed to hear its weak and
stifled peals on the occasion of the fire
on Sunday night, as has been the case on
numerous previous occasions. Many OF
the COW bells In use in this vicinity give
out a sound of greater volume. and
would be preferable to the Custer fire
bell for alarm purposes. True it is that
we have no means Of putting out fires,
which, to some extent, lessons the nee
essity for a louder bell, but the fact
should be bourn in mind that many of
our citizens who are located beyond the
symptom of q sound of this mild apology
for a FIRE bell, are anxious to be alarmed
when q FIRE breaks out, SO that they may
enjoy the pleasure OF witnessing the
blazes, and in view of this fact. it might
be advisable to substitute a country COW
bell for the poor parody" now in use.
