Fort Pierre, S, D., Feb. 20.-The
Stock Journal, speaking of the death
OF the late Paul Narcelle, says:
Narcelle was undoubtedly the oldest
settler in what is row known as the
Dakotas. He was born near Mon
treal, Can, in the year 1912. At
the age of Is, in company with
about two hundred Frenchmen in
the employ of the American Fur
company, he left Canada and has
ever since been in the northwest.
Leaving Canada in the spring of 1880
under the direction of Louis Fran
cher, they pushed out into the then
unexplored west. They came down
the lakes to Fort Deaborn, now
Chicago, and remained there a few
days awaiting the arrival of half

important point in the northwest
belonging to this company. Often
thousand employees were quartere6

In the spring of 1881 Paul Narcelle
with about half of the company, were
sent up the Missouri river to the
Yellowstone, then to the mourt,ias.
This expedition was continued to
Arizona and New Mexico. It re-
CURED three years to make the trip,
and on the return Narcelle remained
here some time. Each year there
after he would go up to Fort Benton
and other upper Missouri river
points until about the year 1841,
when he left the employ of the com
pany and located permanently at
this point, and finally near the
mouth of Antelope creek, where he
resided until 1892, when he removed
just north of the Cheyenne river.
Pierre Choteau had charge of these
parts for American Fur company
for many years, and Mr.. Narcelle
was his most trusted friend.

"Where Is He Atq"
Editor UNION:

The reelection of Senator KYLE
and the cir tumstances that brought
1T about is most unfortunate and
will for a time be a sad blow to the
peoples party, but in the end will
strengthen it in this state.
We would under no circumstances
knowingly do the senator an inius-
tice, but if the dispatches from
Pierre are to be relied upon his cleo
tion bears the ear-marks of one of
the most corrupt political deals ever
consummated in this state-a com
plete sell-out, and those struggling
for human liberty and the rights of
the great common people against
corrupt, concentrated and entrench-
ed wealth find they have been be-
+rayed by modern Benedict Ar
mold as completely as we're our an
cestors century and quarter ago.
lie is reported to have stated to
those at reception given him by
his admirers after his reelection,
that the people having spoken on
the taiff question at the laje election
he would support republican tariff
measure, Notwithstanding he had al
ways been fee trader and made
many talks on the subject in the
senate during the past six years.
Why this sudden change? Is this
the position taken by statesman
when his party is beaten at an cleo
tion? Did those who believed in
the abolition of slavery 60 over and
join the enemy when they were bea-
ten? Which was it in fact. the tar
III or the money uestion, which the
people passed upon last fall? "Con-
slstency, thou art a jewell" We
feel deep onviction away down in
our heart and the silent voices keep
ever saying to US in our meditations
on this sad event, that there we're
reasons for this sudden change of
front. Could it have been the So
republican votes that elected him?
Could it have been something more
tangible than the $4,000 salary?
We can only say, "Senator, if you
did not sell out you are in a most
unfortunate position. We notice
what you say about not selling out.
but, senator, we did not expect YOU
to confess it. -
We hope he has been much mis-
represented by the press and that
he is yet all right, but we fear not.
Time will tell. In conclusion we
wish to say that if the republicans
have entered into corrupt deal
with this man they are welcome to
all the glory they get out of it, and
it will prove just what our party has
always claimed-that there is a cor
rupt and dangerous money power
which runs the republican party and
that those men who bravely fought
Kyle's return to the senate made no
mistake. In this connection let it
be said that the republican papers
that think they have dealt Senator
Pettigrew singing blow are much
mistaken, as it will prove to sensi-
BILE people that his opposition to
Kyle was we'll founded. ~

THE STATE LECISLATURE
The Latest News From the State
Capital Prepared Specially
for This Paper.

for This Paper.
KYLE GOES TO THE SENATE.
Elected by Republican Votes, He
Denies the Story of a Bargain.
Other Legislative Notes.
Pierre, S. D.. Feb. 22.-The cleo
tion of Kyle to the United States
senate came suddenly and without
warning on Friday last, the Picker
(rep.) forces leaving their leader for
the time being and throwing their
votes to Kyle. The total vote which
places Kyle in senatorial shoes for
the coming six years was 65, COM
posed of nine populists, four demo
Gratis and 81 republicans. It was at
first given out that in order to Sc
cure the cooperation of the republi-
can legislators Kyle had agreed to
support every republican measure
in the United States senate except
ing the gold standard. The news
paper correspondents bit at this as
a sweet morsel, magnified the state
ment to twice its original size and
the papers were filled with the de-
tails of the Outrageous bargain :"
Representative George Hair Of
Butte county stated to your CORES
pondent that in the person of Mr.
Kyle 1--WE have a republican sena-
tor. " But the story has fallen fiat.
The republican vote was thrown to
Kyle at the earnest solicitation of
j. A. Pickler, the republican aspir-
ant, and was brought about as a di-
rect slap at Senator r. F. Petit
grew for his action at the St. Louis
national convention and his course
during the late campaign. There
has for years been considerable an
tgonism between Pettigrew and
Kyle and the republicans here CON
sidered that the election of the lat
ter would be a direct slap at the
former. There is absolutely no
ground whatever for the report that
Kyle agreed to support republican
measures. He states that he still
stands where he has always stood
on public questions and people who
desire forecast of his action may
judge by his past record.
Following his election Senator
Kyle issued the following:
To the Peoples Party of South
Dakota In view Of the fact that
have been aided in my reelection
by republican votes, I deem it pro-
per to say that I have in no way sur
rendered my views upon public
ques tions. I shall in the future, as
in the past, advocate and defend nay
honest convictions on questions Of
national policy. The misfortune of
the populist party is that, though
having strong majority in the
legislature, it was unable to elect a
senator. For several weeks fruit
less efforts were made to this end,
but through jealousy, malice
and rrupt combinations
it became plainly apparent that the
deadlock would continue to the end OF

come from the republican party.
Help came from the republicans, but
there was no so called deal or COM
promise of principles.
Under ordinary circum stances
could continue populist in good
party standing, but the corrupt in
f1uence and the powerful mtchine in
stalled in the party, which, regard
less of party welfare, by persecution
of my friends and venomous and
false personal attacks have attempt
ed in the interests Of a clique of
new found allies to thwart my re-
election, have sought to drive me
from the party which I helped to
found. This I deny their right to
do. l shall continue to advocrte my
convictions on all public questions
during my six years term, and in
minor matters I trust I shall not
prove ungrateful to the large body
of men to whom l am indebt for re-
election. The populist party has a
mission to perform in South Dakota.
Divesetd of corruption and machine
rule, it may hope for a grand future,
bu' under the present dictatorship
organization defeat already stares it
in the face. My wish IS that cliqu ues
and combinations may be relegated
to the rear enc and that the people
may rule.
James H. Kyle
interviewed at Washington re-
garding Kyle's election Senator Pet
tigrew expressed himself as follows:
IL have been aware that for some
time the republicans have intended
throwing their vote to Kyle, but l
don It believe that it is the result OF
any bargain or sudden impulse.
think that he will act as he always
has with reference to silver and free
trade, and I do not believe that his
reelection is the result of any agree
ment or understanding with the re-
publicans to pursue any other
course. Now that the senatorial
fight is out of the way, it is hoped
that some needed legislation can be
secured.
The liquor license bill has passed
the senate without the clause pro-
hibiting treating. The woman suf-
frage bill has been knocked out and
the fair sex will have to wait anoth-
er two years before they can get a
hearing.
A bill has been passed allowing
the commissioner of lands to dispose
of the lands secured from Taylor,
the defaulter. A bill has been in
troduced in the house to let the pub
lication of the commissioners pro-
ceedings in the various counties to
to the lowest bidder. The senate
antitrust bill has been so amended
as to exempt labor organizations.
The measure to abolish the office of
engineer of irrigation has passed,
as did also bill in regard to settle
ment for damages from fires set or
stock killed by railroads.
AS the time for the introduction
of new measures has passed, there
will be some very lively work on
those already in to get them pushed
through before the session closes.

Scotch Standardization.

Every one knows that the highlands
of Scotland are the veritable stronghold of
Sabbatarianism i'm its austcrest character.
There are not wanting indications, how
ever, of a relaxing of the old rigidity. A
Scotch paper chronicles the circumstance
that one Sunday recently six Invernessians
assembled Cairngorm. When they reached
the summit, at $3.50, they found paper
intimating that another party had been
there at 8 a. m, and while at breakfast a
third party of IL arrived at the summit
Later in the day the Inverness party as
cended Ben Macdhui and found traces of
three others in the shape of visiting cards
left in a black bottle. "Who would have
thought" comments the journal, THAT
six Invernessians, belonging to the differ
ent churches in the community, would
have so far forgotten themselves as to for
get the church for whole Sunday and go
away tramping the hills instead?"

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
Something About the Way In Which They
Are Made.

oohttniHk the w ny HI w men lnty
Are Made.
The ancient Egyptians made artificial
flowers of horn shavings, stained i'm yari-
Gus colors, and leaves of painted linen have
been found in tombs at Thehes From
remote period the Chinese have used the
pith of n certain kind of bamboo for max
ing flowers. Crassus, one of the Roman
triumvirs, was the first i'm Rome to have
them made of gold and silver.
During the middle ages flowers made of
metal, satin, silk, wax and paper were
used in the Roman Catholic church with
IymbolIcal Specifications; on festal occa-
sions they We're worn merely for ornament.
In 1928 Seguin, a botanist and chemist,
began the manufacture of flowers in Paris,
employing parchment for the flowers and
bristles for the stems. His work was so
perfect and artistic that the jealousy of
some of the leading painters was aroused.
From that time the manufacture of arti-
fetal flowers steadily grew and developed
in France, and today the French excel in
them.
The art was introduced into England
during the French revolution by refugees
who made use of il as means of subsist-
ence. Ii has been successfully naturaliZed
in the United States. Knives of various
sizes and shapes, stamps gathering irons
of different kinds molds called veiners
and agate or glass burnishers are the chief
tools made use of in the manufacture
The leaves and the petals are usually
made of silk or cambria. The material to
be shaped is folded several times, laid upon
leaden table and stamp is driven
through it. Gauffering irons are made use
of TO hollow the petals; veiners, as the
name implies, are used to vein the leaves,
and the burnishers are employed to give
the petals n polished appearance. The
stamens and pistils are formed of wire
covered with silk; the stalk is made of
wire coated with green material, and is
fixed TO the stamens and pistils around
which are attached the petals and lastly
the calyx. Buds are made of cotton or
glass balls covered with silk or cambria.
The florists fingers, guided by skill and
taste, have much to do with the beauty of
the flowers produced; great ingenuity is
often displayed even in cheap sprig con-
sisting of several materials well put to-
gether and arranged.
French wholesale houses engaged in the
manufacture of artificial flowers have
each some special branch; thus, one makes
only roses, another wild flowers, third
leaves etc. The best and most expensive
flowers are hand painted. Philadelphia

A Great Temptation.

CATION was one Washington Mills, con-
vict from Buckingham county, and a
preacher, too, "zorter," as he styled
himself, before he became an inmaae of

thing of the history of Mills crime, asked
him what he was imprisoned for.
