A PEDDLER OF SCANDAL.
Editor of The Tribune


Sir: / note, from an editorial In your
paper today, that the Commonwealth Oi
this city, purporting TO speak for Dr.
Swallow says regarding the scandalous
stories served ~ TO the readers OF the
New York Voice, that he had no more
to do with their formulation, publication
or circulation than either Mr.. jerks 81
Mr.. Stone himself"
There is no evidence that DR.. Swallow
assisted in formulating the stories. Ihai
he is interested IN their publication and
circulation is proved by the fact that
copies OF the Voice, having the stories re,
ferred to i'm, are displayed i'm conspicuous
places in the Methodist Book rooms, ans
are Cor sale on the counter of the Meth
odist Book Concern Of which DR.. Swal'
low is superintendent
Yours respectfully

The secretary of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee pre-.
diets that the next national house OF
representatives will be anti-McKinley
by three majority. Unless a majority
of the people of the United States have
temporarily gone daft it will be nothing
of the kind; and we don't think they
are crazy.

There need be no fears that the people
will allow anything to be covered up.
They want, and will insist on having, the
whole truth. But they will not take as
true every accusation made by sensa.

they lose sight of the fact that the wal
as whole is one of which they may wei
be proud. For our part, we prefer to re-
gard it not as a Republican war OF a
Democratic war, but as the nations wal

sorry to see politics brought into the dis

We do not mean to say that the charges

dent has announced his intention to in

good citizens to point out cases of mis-
management, but nothing is to be gained

1t will be tried at the proper time, and IN
the proper way. We know that there was

the administration is responsible, and tor

There never was a more successful war
than that which we waged against Spain.
We may admit as absolutely true every
charge that has been made without IN
any way weakening the general conclu"
sion that the war has reflected great
credit on the nation ana its government.
And IL Will he well for us to give some
thought to our triumphs as well as TO our
failures. At the present moment the ad-
ministration is confronted with grave
problems in Cuba. Porto Rico. and the
Philippines Though actual fighting has
ceased, the war will not DC over till these
questions have been settled and treaty
signed. 1t is. therefore, the duty of all
patriotic citizens to sustain the admins
tration with the same loyalty that was
manifested in the early days Of the struB-
gle.

attacked and denounced for everything
that went wrong. it will be entirely iusti.

went rii;ht-and how many things did go
right! No amount OF criticism can dim
the glories of Santiagoand Manila What
ever the mismanagemcnt, IL is still true
that the administration organized ara

direction of the administration two span

Spanish soldiers were captured and de-
ported, Cuba and Porto Rico were both

and all this was done in four short
months, with an amazingly small loss OF
life. The people are in no danger of for
getting these things.

QDDE WOULD remind our Democratic
MANI friends that the war horror issue
WNVI has two sides. SO far there has
tHJ been no serious attempt by the
Republicans to make polite II
capital out of the war or to claim credit
for 1t that was not fairly theirs. Presi-
dent Mckinley has throughout borne
himself. not as a leader of n party but as
the head OF Il united nation. The RepuD-
licans In congress acted in the same way.
All of us, Republicans and Democrats
alike, felt that the war was one for the
honor of the nation. as 1t was and is, and
all rejoiced over the wiping out of social
and sectional lines ana the obliteration,
at least temporarily. of party divisions.

unbroken front-much, be it said, to the

The Northwestern Road is Liberal.

Brookings Press: The Chicago &c
Northwestern railroad company an
nounces that it will bring seed wheat
from ST. Paul or Minneapolis to any
point in South Dakota during the
month of February for only 10 cents
per hundred pounds. or cents per
bushel. This step is taken as an ind
ment to tho farmers of this state to
change their seed this year, as the
grain now on hand for that purpose
has been raised SO long on the same
soil that it has become degenerated.
New seed of good quality will produce
a better crop and no doubt a much
larger one. The farmers should give
this matter their immediate attention,
and find out at what price good clean
seed can be had. 1t might be we'll for
several in one neighborhood to club to-
gether and get carload.

farmers have long realized the benefits
which accrued from q creamery, and
some time ago they put in motion
plan to secure an institution OF that
kind. Saturday another meeting was
held at Ethan, which was attended by
G. [. Miltimore of this city, who gave
The CAPITAL the details of the
session. Inc object OF this meeting
was to listen to the report of the far
mers' committee appointed to ascertain
the amount of stock that could be
placed, and the number of COWS which
could be depended upon TO start a
creamery. The creamery stated that
the product of 400 cows was promised,
with $50 additional If certain skimming
stations we're not started to which they
we're already pledged. About ST, $50
was assured with enough promised by
parties who we're not in attendance at
the meeting to bring the amount up to
about S2,400. A committee was ap-
pointed to correspond with parties in
the business to get the bestgterms on
which the building and machinery
could be put up at an early a date as
possible. Mr.. Miltimore said the far
mers were very much in favor of a
creamery but no stock could be dis
posed of for skimming stations that
were talked Of. The meeting adjourned
until l o'clock, Tuesday, Feb. l, when
Prof. Wheaton is expected to be pres
ent and speak oa the subject of cream
cries. MIR. Miltimore believes a cream
cry at Ethan is an assured improve
ment of the very near future.

A TOUGH COMMUNITY.

Dastaraly Attempt to Drive Good Citi-
zen Out of Aurora County.
The White Lake Wave prints story
Of an incident which occurred in that
vicinity last week as follows:
About two weeks ago G. E. Branson
who resides on the Thos. Kinsman
place some four miles east of town re-
ceived an anonymous letter warning him
to leave the country before the 10th of
the month as his house and outbuild-
ings were to be burned. He was also
informed that if he were found in the
house on the 1lth he was to be shot for,
the letter went on, There are six of us
and six men with guns can kill rascal
like you at any time" Mr. Branson has
had some trouble with certain residents
of the township, but did not suppose
such high handed threats and looked
on the letter as big bluff gotten up
for the purpose of soaring him out of
the country. But last Wednesday even
ing he was convinced that the williams
meant business for looking out of his
window about $50 D. m. he saw that a
large hay stack that he had put up about
! 100 rods south east of his house was in
flames. Selling his gun Mr.. Branson
| rushed forth In the nope OF getting q
shot at the miscreants, but could get
sight of no one. Investigation next
morning showed that a horseman had
approached the stack from the south
east, set the fire and then ri den rapid
ly away in the direction from which he
came.
Mr.. Branson is an honest, hard work.
lug man, and these acts of lawlessness
on the part of the unknown rascals
have caused feeling of deep indigna-
tion throughout the community. While
no direct evidence as to the perpetra-
tors mas yet been secured, we UNDER
stand that several valuable clues have
been secured and there is little doubt
that the guilty party or parties will
ev sntusly be brought to iust'ce Every
law abiding citizens should feel it bis
duty to do all in his power to bring this
about, as such acts are not onl y a mem
ace to the lives and property OF our
citizens, but disgrace to our commu-
nifty. Let no guilty man escape.

the Diamond Hand Grenade.
Saturday evening r. W. Gilchrest,
the II. S. Nutting Fire
Distinguishing Company, of Minneapo-
lis; gave an exhibition on Main and
Second streets of his fire extinguishing
apparatus. He erected q pile of boards,
standing 16 feet high, saturated with
oil anu touched match to the inf1am-
mable stuff. In twinkling the flames
ascended high in the air. This was his
opportunity. Mr.. Gilchrist stepped
within reach OF the fire and broke one
Of the hand grenades at the base of the
blaze, and an instant after the flames
succumb bed to the powerful agent. He
again saturated the lumber with oil and
touched match to it, this time apply
ing the regular extinguisher to the
flame and which acted in the same
manner, subduing the flames instantly.
There is one thing commendable in the
Nutting grenade, and that is that it is
always ready for use, age does not
effect its worth, and it does not destroy
nor injure any fabric, carpet or gar
ment with which it comes in contact.
AS saver of property the hand gren-
ade is evidently a great success and
should be in every residence and busi-
ness house in town. Mr.. Gilchrest will
CAL upon citizens and give them an
opportunity to protect themselves
against fire. The cost of the grenade
could be saved many times over by the
usa cf them al enc fire.

The Clara Hammer Theatre Co.
made its first appearance before a
Mitchell audience at the Grand opera
house Monday evening in the popular
play, "The French Princess" The at
tendance was gratifyingly large and
which inspired the company 10 give a
good performance, and the painstaking
efforts of the ladies and gentlemen of
the company were rewarded by liberal
applause from the audience. The play
is good one and it received fine pro-
duction at the hands of Miss Hammer
and her company. In the double role
of Jean Irgleside and Marie Dubois
Miss Hammer did some splendid work,
but it was in the latter character where
she was seen to the best advantage, and
she gave a good Interpretation of the ad-
venturess. Her serpentine dance was
attractive, made SO by the pictures
which were thrown on her by the calci-
um lights. Mr.. Clemens and Mr.. Crit
fifth, as the Leighton brothers., did some
clever acting in their respective parts.
Dave Williams ia the comedian of the
company and he makes things hum
when he appears on the scene. Mr..
Williams sings comic song or two
during the evening and makes a good
point with the audience by the capable
manner in which he does his work on
the stage. Miss Lowell and Mrs. Glenn
ems and Mr.. Edwards form a good sup
port to the other mem mbers of the COM
pany, which can be classed as well
balanced organization. One OF the
features is the illustrated songs, which
is greatly appreciated by the audience.
These, and with specialties by the com
pany, will be seen every night during
the week.
