finally, waterproof The fuel is said
to be very cheap, and every ton is
claimed to do more than the work of
twenty tons OF the best English coal.
The capabilities OF the solidifed Pc
troleum are said 10 have been demon
strated by practical trials in the pre-
sence OF naval and military attaches of
various governments, eminent engi-
neers, shipowners and boiler makers.
1t requires no special apparatus to en-
able it to be burned in furnaces prop
erly constructed, and its smokelessness
is a feature which also commends it TO
naval officers, as it prevents the APP
proach OF a vessel from being made
known by smoke. This smokelessness
will also be appreciated by the ,rayel-
ing public when the new fewel comes
to be used on railroads. 1t is carried
as ordinary freight, without specially
constructed ships or cars. If all that
claimed for it is true, the discovery
means much, not merely to naval and
transportation interests, but to the gen
eral comfort and progress of the world

CRlLL's GERRYMANDERING.

To show the injustice OF placing
Union county in the Sioux Falls judi
cial district, it is only necessary to
print the population of the LIST, End and
4th districts, all of which join each
other.
The first is composed Of the following
counties: Union, Clay, Turner, Yank-
ton, Bon Homme, Hutchinson, Doug
las and Charles Mix with population
Of 10000.
The second is composed of Minneha-
ha, Moody, McCook. Lake aud Lincoln
with population OF $4,000.
The fourth has BruIe, Dawson, Han
son, SanbOrn, Jerauld, Buffalo and Au-
rora with population of only $4,000.
Senator Crili's bill wishes to take
Union and attach it to the Sioux Falls
district making the population of each
about 10000. But the fairer way, and
more suited to the situation and BUSH
ness interests of all concerned would be
to put Douglas and Charles Mix with
1900 population in the fourth district
making the fourth $4,000, the first S.
600, and the second $4,000. That would
be an equitable adjustment and not sub
ject to the idea OF gerrymandering the
district for political purposes.

city also has large manufacturing
plants of cotton and wooden manu-
facturies, agricultural implements,

millions of dollars of it's manufacture
ed products to all parts of the United
States, Canada, Mexico, and South

REQUIEM MASS CELEBRATED.

Services Celebrated Over the Re-
mains of Spain's Dead Premier.
London, Aug. IA requiem mass
for the repose of the soul of the late
prime minister of Spain, Senior Canovas
Del Castillo, was celebrated Friday
morning in the Spanish church. Ths
the center of the main aisle was cat
afalque covered with pail of purple
velvet with large gold cross. There
were many people present at the serv-
ice, including the Spanish ambassador,
Count Casa Valencia and his staff, all
in full uniform; the United States am
bassador, Col. John Hay; the German
ambassador, Count Won Hatzfeldt-Wild-
enburg; the Italian ambassador, Gen.
Ferrero; most of the ministers; Mr..
White. secretary of the United States
embassy; Lord Glenesk, proprietor of
the Morning Post, and many ladies.
The funeral was most touching and
solemn ceremony. All the troops of
the garrison lined the route along
which the cortege moved, the flags
were lowered and the public buildings,
embassies, consulates and clubs were
heavily draped with Grape. More than
thousand wreaths were deposited in
the death chamber. A salvo of artil-
lery announced the starting of the
funeral procession, which moved slowly
through an enormous crowd in which
all heads were bare and many eyes were
weeping. A peculiarly poignant scene
ensued as the duke of Sotomayor, Mar
shall Martinez Campos, Marquis Pazo
de Ia Merrzed and the other pallbearers
lifted the coffin. Sonora Canovas, in a
clear, firm tone, said: 81 desire that all
should know that forgive the assas-
sin. 1t is the greatest sacrifice / can
make; but l make it for the sake of
what I know of my husbands great
heart"
Through the entire distance between
the death chamber and the church the
road was strewn with flowers and
laurels. Senior Sagasta headed the
cortege, which was formed of militia,
deputies, senator's, generals, admirals
and delegations representing all the
principal public bodies. The wreath of
the queen regent rested upon the coffin
and other floral tributes We're carried
in special carriages. All the shops in
the city were closed and a very large
proportion of the populace that
thronged the streets appeared in mourn
ing garb. The entire garrison marched
past the coffin and the service lasted
from four until 1880 p. m. The remains
of Senior Canovas We're inferred in the
family vault in the ST. Isidoro cemetery
amid salvos of artillery and the tolling
of all the bells of the city.

WAS A "LEEMIsH" CAR.
The owl-Cnr Passengers FINAL
ON

The Owl-Cnr Passengers Finally
Found Out.
He seemed painfully conscious of the
ludicrous figure he cut as he burst
through the wildly tapping curtains OF
north-bound, all-night car and
scraped himself into seat which had
been neglected by the other occupants
on account of the sea of moisture which
it contained. His face was belligerent-
ly red and his widely-staring eyes, an
ticipating with maniacal vigilance any
tendency to laughter which his APP
pearance might provoke, blazed forth a
challenge to the entire car and success
fully dispelled the rising spirit of
jocundity.
The night was the most tempestu-
GUS of the present season, and in order
to escape the gusts of wind and water
that assailed the car from every direc-
lion some of the owls had gathered
in the aisle, while others had perched
upon the backs of seats, and some had
opened up their umbrellas. The con-
ductor, with an air of intrepidity born
of familiarity with situations of the
kind, passed to, and fro among the pas
sengers collecting nickels. He was an
ideal "owl" conductor, bristling with
sense of his Importance, and osten-
tatiously Indifferent to the comfort and
convenience of his guests.
"Ez ish flemish ghar?" asked the
late wild-eyed arrival as the despot
jolted past.
The unintelligible gibberish met with
no response. Another block was passed
before the street car magnate came for
ward.
"Ez ish flemish ghar?" was repeated
somewhat petulantly by the Swede-
for he was now discovered.
Everyone but the autocrat seemed
buried in an effort to translate the jar
gon, and some even ventured so far
as to turn an inquiring eye upon the
speaker. But the glances were quickly
withdrawn, for the glitter of inn
placable hostility in those wild eyes
had become intensified. Several more
blocks elapsed.
"Ez ish flemish ghar?"
And this time the potentate had
stopped close by to take fare.
"What?' snarled the latter, with
scornful intonation.
"Ez ish flemish ghar?"
For moment there was reflective
pause-his majesty was thinking.
