Sioux Falls, s. D.-The United states
district attorney for South Dakota,
through Marshal Kennedy, has seized
941 head of cattle, the property or II.
III. Hineman of Mcpherson county.
These cattle were purchased in Manlto-
ba, and entered this country through
the port Of Pembina. The valuation
placed on them by Mr.. Hineman was
much less than the government thought
they were worth, and a new appralse-
ment was ordered. The new appraise-
ment raised the value OF b stock
some S10.955, which, with the fine for
differentiation, will make a nice sum
for Mr.. Hineman TO pay the govern
ment. An attache of the United States
marshars office left yesterday for Nc
Pherson county, where the cattle are
held by the government, TO serve the
papers in a suit brought by the gov
eminent for the forfeiture Of the cattle,

We have sent great numbers OF stu

The gold whistle and the gold
breast-plate OF the dictator OF the Phil
lippines suggest trouble. That kind OF
man is without thought save as to his
personal glorification, and his vanity
will have to be eliminated before he
has room in his head for a decent set
of brains. So far the dudes Of our
army and navy have done excellently,
1T being understood that a dude is a
man who is not ashamed to dress prop
serly and wear. blacking on his boots;
but the man OF the little whistle will
be apt to toot himself into some folly
for the lack of a guardian. However.
1t is comforting to reflect that his
