KYLE IS BEATEN
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Opponents Determined to
Keep Him Out Of the
Senate.
New Workers Suggested to the
PreSident.Eiect as Suitable
Cabinet Material.
There Is Poss sibility, However, That
Dissensions May Prevent the State
From eating a Place.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 3d. While those
who are ordinarily qualified to judge have
been predicting settlement for some days
of the Senatorial situation. the facts fail
to verify the predictions.
Mr.. Kyle has been beaten for several
days, but his followers continue to stand by
him. The adjournment of the caucus las
night to Wednesday was made in the BE-
lief that Kyle could not mold his force to-
gether. The anti Kyle men have settled
upon this proposition: They will unite
upon any one to beat him. While the
fusionists have been anything but happy
family, discord is now making its appear
ance among the Republicans and they are
now too much interested in their own af-
fairs to enjoy the internal warfare of their
opponents.
Some of the Republicans think that
PickIer has had fair chance and, failing
to secure any votes from the Democrats
or Populists, he should be willing to step
aside and give some other man a chance.
He has polled the full Republican vote
(Which is five less than the number re-
quired to elect.

do not think there is any opposition to
him on the part of the Brooklyn Repub-
licans."
General Woodruff said that the appoint
ment of Lyman j. Gage had made an ex
tremely favorable impression in Eastern
business circles. The faction of the New
York Republicans which is opposed te
Mr.. Platt and the organization was repre-
sented IN Canton to-day by General S. H
Coils of New York City, who called or
Major Mckinley and suggested the name:
OF several New York men who he thought
would make good Cabinet officers. Gen.
eral Coils said that he thought it more
likely New York will not be represented
in the Cabinet at ali than that any of the
men now prominently discussed would be
appointed.
Among Major McKinley's callers to-day
were Senator Arthur Brown of Utah and
ex-senator w. f. Sanders of Montana.

MEN AND WOMEN AS FRIENDS.

The majority OF people seem incapable of
comprehendlng that such thing as calm, aft
fectonate frien dship can exist between man
and woman. They seem to think that if girl
and fellow are friendly they must or ought Id
be engaged. IfIthey are very friendly it is timd
they were married. If tits married man andl
woman who indulge in anything approaching
this friendship they must he vigorously put out
of the pale OF Pivlized society. Friendship
between man aud woman is all nestimably pre-
cious thing-it is fact of everyday life that
ought to be steadily cultivated 1t teaches the.
man purity of Thought and speech, gentleness
and courtesy. a man who thoroughly respects
woman as friend will live up to the ideal
that she has of him He will be gentle and
chivalrous, and pitiful to the weaknesses that
are natural to every true daughter of Eve.
And woman, oh, how much she will leirn
from the friendship of true man. She will
learn to be broad minded above the littleness,
the back-btlng and the scandal-mongcrluss
Of her sex. She will realize tn; there iSsonIe-
thing i'll life nobler and grauder tnan the fit Of
her gown, the style of her bonnet, or the num-
Der of her admirers. He will Danish tE shad-
ows from her eyes and brush away ghe cob
webs from her brain. She will know That life
is as grand as it is serious that it is i'll the
power of her small, weak hands to make or
mar lives. Friendship between man and wo-
man is thing to b., recognized; it is all I'M
portaut factor, morally DIS we'll as physically,
while it teaches us all that is broadcast, noblest
and most heroic. To men it gives t,e needfnl
touch of sympathy and chivalry that are in
dispensible to woman's ideal Of kagntly
character. But, alas, this beautiful and
nobling FRIENDSHIP lis rendered impossible
through the littlenesS and consciousness of the
female world They cannot and will not rec.
ognize that frendship--yes, and even affection
is qiite possible between members Of the on.
posite sex, and that were it not for the innu,
enods, the covert smiles, the half-suppresssd
mods, it would last to al time. But as tits, ,I-
recty man and woman, no matter what they
age may be, become really friends, we spl

of scandal, and Of not being able to see any

lying about everything connected with the OPP
position. 1t is true that there is no law against
lying, except the law of God, and no punish
ment but part in "the lake that burns with
fire and birthstone" but there is no doubt that
lying defeats fair elections and the defeat of
fair elections will eventually destroy liberty.
Now that we have said what is said and left
so much unsaid, we may still inquire, Of what
use is free ballot if a man have not food and
clothing and lands and houses?
We have talked about the weapon, and not
what is to be gained by the use of the weapon.
AS the old Shareholders did not want good
times for the former slaves, neither does Hanna
want good times for the laborer.
The ballot is free when the man is free.

WHEN | AM DEAD.

When I am dead
Bring roses red,
And poppies-blbo pom of rest
And heap them ON my breast,
mat l may breathe their perfume deep.
And sleep and sleeH and sleep
No flowers white,
For chill delight,
Give me on that glad day,
But bend and smile and say:
"Bring blooms that burn and light and
glow
She loved all warmth aud color so -
And all about Ire to my feet
Drop clovers pink and sweet
Why should you lay those cold, white things
On the heart wheie lies with folded wings
The cold, dead bird of song +?
Dearest the last night is so long
l pray you pile the poppies deep
Upon my breast-tllat NAV seepl
When | am dead
Let the suns red
Strike thro' uncurtahed pane
From off the singing main;
Yea, everything must sing that day
When go on my glad new way,
And if there should be any tears
Let them be for my wasted years,
And not for NE. Throw all the windows wide
And let the strong surge of the tide
Come sounding once more up the hill
And shall hear it still
And each Homecoming wave shall say:
"Be glad, be very glad, to-day"-
And for the last time l shall hear
But after that would rot hear,
For sweet as Thought of hearing seems,
Who hears must drean--and l would have mol
dreamsI!
So pile the crinleon poppes deep
That may slice p and sleep.

A Silver Mans Scheme.

DENVER, Dec. 2o.-Governor McIntre has
received the following letter to which he has
not replied
BROKEN Bow, NEB., Dec. 81, 90.
Dear Sir What do you think Of the idea Of
the legislature of Colorado making an apprc
priation to construct depository for silver bull
lion in your state? The bullion could be de-
posted and certificates issued upon the same to
the market valve of the bullion, which Ger
tifcates could be used as money by the people
In this way the demand for more money could
be met
| have thought the matter oyer, and if can
get any encouragement from silver producing
states, will introduce bill i'll the Nebraska
senate this winter to that effect. am satisfied
that the new use such scheme would create
for silver bullion would cause the price to rise,
and many of the benefits sought for by the free
silver advocates would be reached, and no law
violated.
Please think the matter over carefully and
let me hear from you Very truly,

THE C)P1|C'S STEWARD
HAS PASSED THE EIGHTY-SIXTH
MILE POST.
Interesting History of jackson Jordan
Was With Charles Dickens When
He Was in the South.

Nearly everyone in Honolulu is ac-
quainted with or has heard of jackson
Jordan, the steward of the big liner
Coptic, running to China and Japan.
While in Honolulu Saturday this pio-
neer seaman was the recipient of many
hearty congratulations from friends
who were aware of the fact that he
had just passed his eighty-sixth mile
post.
Mr.. Jordan has remarkable life
history. He is one of the few surviv-
ing argonauts of 1S45. He was born in
New Orleans, where he lived until
Charles Dickens, the great English
novelist arrived there. Dickens was in
search of confidential man, and
pressed him that he was engaged by
the author. Jordan toured America
and then went to England with Dick
ems. In 1914 he returned to New York
where he took passage in the Ameri-
can ship jeanette, and came to Homo
lulu. The latter part of 1S45 he emit
cred the Golden Gate. Since then he
has made California his home, having
been in the employ of many prominent
men, including Senator Hearst, Chas.
Croker, William Ralston, William
Sharon and others.
During his latter years Mr. Jordan
has been connected with the Occident-
aland Oriental Steamship Company as
steward of the Coptic. He has been
an almost constant visitor to Honolulu
since the 4O's and the growth of the
city since that time is no more aston
ishing to any of the old timers than
to Mr.. Jordan. During these years he
has been an almost constant visitor
here and has made host of friends
on the islands.
Yes, | am getting DID," said Jordan
to an island friend Saturday afternoon
as the big boat was preparing to sail,
land most of my friends of my young
er days have gone, but | shall sail
many day yet before 1 dock for the
last time"

story to the camp of an insurgent band
nearby, commanded by one of Gen.
Lacrete's officers. The Spanish troops
were closely pursued and later attacked
as they forded a small stream.
The Cubans fell upon them and for
half an hour the fight ragged fiercely.
Many of the Spaniards were drowned
in the creek and the troops were driven
off in utter rout, with the loss of nearly
forty men. Four prisoners captured
by the Cubans were instantly shot.
A raid was made night before last up
on an outpost five miles from the city,
the Spanish sentry lines being driven
half a mile with loss of ten men. The
insurgents fired several buildings.
Troops were ordered sent to the scene
of the disturbance to-day. The Cuban
bands encamp in plain view Of the
block houses in the suburbs near the
city, and it is very seldom that they
are attacked by the garrisons.

Winona, N. D., February 1S.-A sex
tuple tragedy was discovered one mile
from this place to-day on the ranch of
Rev. Thomas Spicer. The horribly mu-
tilated bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Spicer,
their daughter, Mrs. William Rouse,
with her one-year-old twin boys and
the aged Mrs. Waldron, the mother of
the postmaster of this place, were dis
covered scattered about the ranch, and
there is as yet no positive clue to the
perpetrators Of the horrible crime.
The appearance about the ranch, the
condition of the bodies, and some other
circumstances have led to the suspi-
cion that the murder was committed
by Indians, and this suspicion was in
part started from the known fact that
one Indian was seen in the neighbor-
hood of the ranch yesterday. Then,
too. the bodies were terribly mutilated
with axes and clubs, which fact is
taken to at least partially corroborate
the suspicion of the Indian murders.
The Standing Rock Indian reserya-
ton is not far away, and when the In
dians from there get away from sight
and manage to get hold Of whiskey
there is sure to be trouble.
If the murders were committed by
Indians the murderers are undoubted-
ly now back among the reservation In
dians.
There is much excitement here over
the tragedy.
