DREAM DISCLOSES A MINE.
Wonderful Story of Riches Found
in q Strange Manner.

in a Strange Manner.
A few days ago, while out picking ber-
ries with her husband and children, neal
Custer, Mrs. NIcNickle came to a plot OF
ground which Immediately called to hel
mind an exact picture of the place which
she had seen in dream. The rocks and
scenery, everything accorded with it. She
told her husband of the dream and of the
similarity in the two places, but was
greeted only with laughter. There was
nothing very promising about the place
or a gold mine, and the husband refused
even to make Investigations. Mrs. Nc
Nickel was positive that her dream had
come true. A short time afterward she
returned to the place and secured some
good samples of the ore and took them to
an assaycr at Custer. In return she re-
ceived a certificate showing her find to be
worth S22.75 gold per ton. Mr.. McNiclSle
Immediately purchased the claim and is
now making preparations to unearth the
riches which bis wife discovered through
her dream.

rain was hail which fell heavily in the
south end of the city. Terrifying light

thunder roared. Fatalities were supple

The electrical display. due to the long

it went down in a heap, stone dead. The

Lightning struck several electric street
cars, cne of which was thrown from the

lasted almost incessantly from 3 o'clock

Kirby Declared Guilty.

Lawyer Joe Kirby was found guilty IN
federal court at Sioux Falls Saturday of
receiving postage stamps stolen from the
government, and converting them to his
own use. The verdict the jury returned
when brought before the court at first was
one which practically acquitted Kirby, for
it stated he had received stolen goods, but
not knowingly. The court informed the
jury their verdict would not stand, and the
foreman promptly replied it was just as
the jury wanted it. A poll was taken and
Milo Glass, one of the jurors, protested.
The court Immediately ordered the jury
back to their room, and in less than three
hours they returned with a verdict Of
guilty. He will move for a new trial, and
failing in that will so to the court of ap-
DealS OF to the supreme court.

Against Women Voting.

Kansas is one of the most liberal and
progressive States in the Union, and
yet the people are not prepared to per-
NIT the women to vote for Presidential
electOr. In the lower house the meas
ure was reported adversely on Tuesday
by the Committee on Elections and the
House refused to give it a place on the
calendar for discussion. While the
people of Kansas are so nOn-progres-
sive, there can be little hope of that
the women of our State will be given
the privilege to vote at all elections.
There may be much said in favor of the
the extension of this right to the wo-
men, and yet there are strong argu-
ments against it. The presence of
women at the polls would doubtless
prevent much rowdyism and their in
huence would prove salutary among all
classes of voters. Yet there is a we'll
grounded fear that many of the higher
classes would decline to go to the polls
while the rougher class would greatly
preponderate and the good influence
predicted would not be exerted. How
ever reforms rarely go backward and
the time may eventually come when
the women may vote and exert an in
fGence to promote every good work.

Have Sayages Rights.

1t was, perhaps, DR.. LYMAN Abbott
who made the profound and far-reacb-
ing remark. "Barbarism has no right,
winch civilization is bound to respect "
VI course, this does not mean barbar-
lahs have no rights that civilized men
are bound to respect. But barbarian
mas no right to mark a spot off on tb.
e"rth and say, This territory
we dedicate to savagery Here an alb
solutely brutal, ignorant and savar.
chlef shall at his will murder his sub-
Jects by the thousand; he shall ex-
cIuae civilization from setting foot
within these limits, and when civilized
men come peacefully to propose traf-
tic and friendly relations he shall
slaughter them, and their blood shall
cry IN vain from the earth"
Ihls seems to be the position taken
by the ruler Of Benin, on the west
coast OF Africa. He occupies a terri
tory some what vaguely defined. rich
IN every species of production; over
this territory he rules with an absolu-
teness hardly paralleled elsewhere in
the world. He is revered by his sub
Jects as species of divinity and he is
Worshlped with human sacrifices in an
palllng numbers. Naturally he does
not have visitors. Recently. when n
party of eighteen Englishmen, un-
armed proposing to trade, were ap-
preaching his capital, they were all
killed, with the exception of two men.
who, after incredible privation. sue
ceeded in making their way to the do
main OF some less savage tribe. The
British Government very naturally
proposes to punish this slaughter.
Very likely the campaign to be inaugu-
rated will result in the establishment
OF British authority and the planting
OF a British colony, which no one can
regret. The surface of the earth does
not belong to savagery but to civili-
zatlon. No tribe, whether African or
Indian, has right to use thousand
square miles to support few hundred
people when it might support thous-
and that number. But the individual
savages have a right to demand that
they be treated with justice and that
they be compensated for their land.
They must, however, consent to live
with some approach to civilization, by
tilling the soil, by selling its products.
Civilization has no right to enslave
or to kill the peaceful savage; its bust
ness Is to introduce civilization, re-
membering that civilization means
justice and mercy; its business is to
take the savage out of the savage and
to put in its place civilized man.

The Strawberry Mark.

The Hon. Thomas Francis Bayard
has wandered about England as a
weeping missionary of fraternity.
AS an amiable and handsome gentle
men who deprecates the violent and
self-willed people who live over here,
and wishes to be regarded as q Little
Brother of the Nobility and Gentry, he
has made many affecting speeches,
which have moved him visibly, even
if they have not been received by his
countrymen with precisely the same
emotion which they may have aroused
in the English bosom. Mr.. Bayard is
polite, and when in England he deems
it his duty to be more polite and more
English than his hosts. ''The English
and the Americans must be brothers.
That is hi7 usual text. ''Be brothers,
confOund you" say the English,
in effect, >" and don't forget, confound
you! that we're the head of the house.
Now, whatever American succeeds
Mr.. Bayard, there ought to be change
of tune. Equality is as far as Ameri-
cans care to go in their relations with
Great Britain or any other country. AS
long-lost brothers, the English can stay
lost.
We hope that whoever becomes Am
bassador to Great Britain next month
will give the brother business a long
needed holiday. In international re-
lations every country is for itself, first,
last, and all the time; and strawberry
marks don't county,. Y Sun.
