His Mind Has Weakened,

Sioux Falls, =. D., Feb. 12.-Frank
Hardimon, a prominent business man
OF Sioux Falls, has lost his reason as tn.
result OF business reverses and Is now
at his home confined to his bed. The
doctors give small hope OF his recovery.
and In fact do not think that he can live
more than a month at best. His brain
is said to have given away completely.
Mr.. Hardimon has in recent years been
engaged I'm the Ice business. but through
mlsmanagement much OF his property
has been lost.
II Is well understood here that the
headquarters OF the South Dakota rail-
road commission will be established In
Sioux Falls. News comes from Miller
that Harry Sawyer. the secretary OF the
commission, Is packing up his goods
preparatory to removing to his place.
Ii is understood that the commission
decided to establish headquarters here
I'm order to have at hand an available
the facts and testimony necessary to Sc
cure a prompt enforcement OF the rail-
Dad law. Sioux Falls has a larger
number of wholesale houses than any
other own la the state, and her ship
pers have consequently accumulated
more information about rates and sched-
uleS.
Chairman Estabrook of the state pop-
ulist committee, has been quietly clrcu-
lating a petition to the members of the
legislature from this county urging
them to vote for the reelection of Sen
ator Kyle in the interest OF harmony. a
large number OF populists signed the
petition, and as a counter display the
chairmen OF the populist, democratic
and free silver republican county ccm-
mittees respectively called a meeting
for last night to adopt resolutions urg-
ing all the candidates now In the field to
step out to make room for a new mar.
This was lone to injure Kyle, and Ii is
understood at the instance of Senator
Pettigrew. who Is in absolute control Of
the local machinery Of those three or
ganizations. The resolutions adopted
were telegraphed to Pierre.
G. +. Zimmerman, receiver of the Da'
kota National bank, has announced that
the comptroller Of the currency has
made an assessment of 100 per cent or
the stock OF the bank. The banks cap
ital stock Is $50. 900, owned by nine or ten
persons. The assessment Is to
be paid by March 7. 1t will do much to

Minister to Turkey Expresses Gloomy
View of the War Situation.

Chattanooga, April 22.-James B. An
CELL. president of the University OF
Michigan and President NcKinley's ap-
pOintee as minister to Turkey spent yes
terday and last night here enroute TO
Ann Harbor, Mich, where he goes to
confer with the trustees of the unlVer-
sity in regard to his acceptance or the
position rendered him.
Before his departure this morning,
Mr.. Angel was seen by an Associated
Press representative and in response to
queries talked freely on the Graeco-
Turkish situation.
He stated emphatically that he had no
doubt of Turkey ultimately winning and
declared that if no outside interference
occurred Greece would be totally ami
hilated He expressed the highest con-
fdence in the fighting qualities of the
Turks and said Greece is stalking all on
one decisive blow and has risked her
existence. When asked why the pow
ers did not attempt to pacify Turkey as
we'll as Greece, he expressed the Opin-
ion that they were afraid of Russia He
said it was Russia's policy in encourag-
ing Turkey to bring on a general en-
broilment in which Turkey would be
annihilated and eventually come into
the cars possession. He thinks It high
" probable that all of Europe viii be
ragged in a general war
Mr.. Angel refused to state positively
whether or not he would accept the APP
pOintment rendered him but he intImat-
ed he would do so.

DEMOCRATS WANT LITTLE
In Conn ection With the New Tariff
Bill Excspt to Talk

Washington, April 22.-There has
been some discussion of the probable
programme of the Democratic member
of the finance committee with refer
ence to the tariff bill and it is learned
that while the preparations are not def
initely matured they have reasonable
consideration of the bill.
The Democrats do not want an ex-
tended consideration in committee, but
may desire to offer some amendments
after they see the bill, the adoption of
which they consider they would be
more likely to secure in the committee
than in the open senate. It is said
that in the senate the Democratic plan
IS not to delay the bill any longer than
is necessary, but that every senator de-
string to discuss it shall have the OPP
portunity to do so and that such record
making votes as the Democrats think
necessary shall be had.
1t may be stated that the Demo
of the senate do not approve of the
no1icv Of Mr.. Bailey and his fellow
Democrats in the house. Attention is
called to the fact that it was long ago
said that the policy which Speaker
Reed and the Republicans of the house
are pursuing would be followed in or
der to direct attention to the delay OF
the tariff bill in the senate. II delay
should ensue by reason of the debate
by Democratic senators, it will be point
ed out. Democratic senators say that
this delay is not indOrSed by the ma
jOrity of Democrats of the house me
Bailey Democrats indOrSe the RepubH-
cans in their criticisms of the Demo-
cratic senators. It is not known
whether or not the advice which the
Democratic senatorial leaders are free
" giving the Democrats of the house
will be taken. but it is known that
house Democrats have been advised
that acquiescence in the Republican
tactics is not good policy. The Dem
Ocratic senators do not want CRITICISMS
which may be directed at them to be
Indirectly indorsed by Democratic
members of the house.
In the changes made in the tariff bill
by the senate subcommittee the rates
in the metal schedule have been made
very close to the present law and the
same is said of the cotton schedule.
The chemical schedule is understood
to be about completed. Many changes
in If in the direction of reductions have
been made.

LIFTING THE SKIRT.
How 1t May De Done Easily, Grace
fully and MOdestIy.

How 1t May De Done Easily, Grace
fully and MOdestIy.
While it is considered had form for
a woman to.carry her skirts while walk
ing, there are conditions and circurn-
stances when she must do SO. In the
first place, unless one is a woman of lux
ury, with those in her service with moth
ing but her wardrobe to look after, one
is not excusabIe for wearing skirts that
in consequence of their all-round ecKag-
gerated length are veritable street
sweepers. For women who are not
thus luxuTiously conditioned, walking
skirts should be made just to escape
the ground, and then they should be al
lowed to hang free unless the side
walks or crossings are too damp or
otherwise dirty, when it would, of
course, be most uncleanly not to lift the
skirts. The way to lift them most eff
fectually and conveniently is to throw
the extra back fuIlness of the skirt over
the back of the hand, which should be
closed and placed as a handle at one
side of the body, and slightly bend the
forearm forward. The fullness of the
skirt will be found to remain in place,
and will not cause the fatigue to the
hand and wrist that one experiences in
the old way of holding so much weight
of material in the hand. This is de-
cided saving on gloves, since it does not
stretch them or soil them or cause the
hand to become Overheated, and skirts
lifted in this way look more graceful
than when they are held in the hand.
Ones anatomy is less liable to be en-
phasized, and it gives an ease and Ger
tainty that all the fullness is properly
looked after, while at the same time
petticoat, ankles and shoes are more be-
comingly exposed Chicago Chronicle
