A curious fatality seems to hang over
the Office of Assessor of Lawrence Coun-
ty, S. D. Two years ago James Bullock
was nominated on the Republican ticket
for the Office. and while on an election
tourney he fell down an abandoned min
ing shaft and was killed. Joe Schaler
was appointed to the vacancy on the tick
ct. and he died horrible death from an
overdose of some drug. Brad Wood, the
Populist nominee for the Office, was elect
ed, and soon after the election, he, too,
met violent death. The county commits
sioners then appointed w. w. Giddlngs
to fill the vacancy. Giddings was killed
q few days ago in the terrible tragedy at
Central City by Ed Shannon because OF
jealousy, the murderer also killing Jack
Weare, friend who interfered, ana
pounding his wife's head with his revolver
so that she died, and finished by shooting
and killing himself Candidates for AS
SCISSOR to fill the vacancy caused by the
death OF Giddings are naturally not very
numerous.

DEWEY WOULD FIGHT
HE so TOLD THE GERMANS AT
MANILA BAY.
Plucky American Admiral Advised
Meddlesome Germans that If They
Wanted to Try Conclusions They
Would Be Accomm odated.
Shameful Proceedings.


Few realize the difficulties with which
Admiral Dewey had to contend in the
Philippines since the sinking of the Span
ish fleet. Indeed, that feat was the least
difficult of his many labors, says CORE
spondent of the New York Sun, writing
prior to the capture of Manila. His chief
trouble was casoned by the Germans.
The latter seemed to take special delight
in violating moral proprieties and disre-
garding Admiral Deweys regulations.
Admiral Dewey had ordered that there
should be no movement of ships or boats
about the bay at night without his knowl-
edge and permission. That was neces-
sary to an effective blockade, and in order
to be legal, blockade must be effective.
The Germans began at once to disregard
the regulation They sent launches about
after shutdown as if there had been no
such regulations. The launches were
stopped by our patrol boats and some OF
them were turned back. The result was
friction between the two admirals. Won
Diedrichs protested. Dewey replied that
his regulation must be observed.
The Germans kept up their work and
Dewey's ships have watched the Ger
mans at night with their searchlights.
1t is particularly offensive to one war
ship to be the target for another's search
light, but that has happened to the Ger
mans several times as the wheeling Amer
lean lights examined the bay to see what

INDIANS TO GO TO MEXICO.
Creek Tribe Is Dissatisfied with the
United States Treatment of 1t.

United States Treatment of LIT.
Many members of the Greek Indian ma
ton, dissatisfied with the United States
Government for abolishing the Indian
Government and interfering in their tribal
affairs, are making elaborate preparations
for establishing large colony in Old
Mexico. The Greek tribe consists Of
about $4,000 members, who are the ex-
elusive owners of some 100000 acres of
the finest and richest farming lands IN
Indian territory. Fully 5000 Of the In
dams will emigrate with the first expedi-
ton. Charles Douglass of Fort Scott,
Kan, who has large financial interests
and mining leases in the Creek nation,
and is founder of Creek City, has been
engaged by the Indians to take charge OF
the colonization and exchange their lands
for property in Mexico. Mr.. Douglass,
the Governor of the Creek nation and
three prominent members of the tribe, al
ready selected, will leave soon for Mexico
to secure location and land concessions
from the Mexican authorities. 1t is claim
ed that as soon as the first party is settled
another and much larger number of In
dams will be ready to go.

Forest Fires4in France.

A pine forest twelve miles long, at
Marche Prime. near Bordeaux. France,
is on fire. The fire was caused by the
carelessness of a peasant who was burn
ing weeds A still more serious confagra-
ton, involving the forests of LuNey, Id
postey, Labouleyre and Ichoux, in the de-
partment of I4andes, is in progress. An
excursion train bound from Bayonne to
St. Sebastian was compelled to turn back
because of the fire. 1t waited for two
hours at the Labouleyre station and then,
with the windows of all the cars closed,
a second attempt was made. Upon near
ing the forest the engine driver found
that the sleepers were burning, but resolv-
ed to make a bold dash at full speed. lie
succeeded in getting the train through,
but the passengers were half-suffocated
and many Of them tainted.

The explosion of large ammonia tank,
used in the making of artificial ice, set
fire to Jacob Hoffman's Crescent brewery,
five-story brick structure in New YORK.
The flames spread with marvellous rapid
ity, and the Central Bottling Companys
plant soon caught fire. Within very
short time the entire block, surrounded by
Third avenue, Fifty-fourth and Fifty
fifth Streets seemed to be doomed. Inc
surrounding tenements, all filled with
sleeping people, next ignited, and the be-
wildered tenants began to pour out into
the streets by the hundreds. Alarm after
alarm was turned in by the police and the
earlier arrivals Of firemen, until four
alarms had been sounded and eighteen en-
gines and five hook and ladder trucks
were on the scene. Many thrilling rescues
of frightened men, women and children
were made by the fremen.

Eight men were killed, possibly ten. and
five more injured, two fatally, at the Car.

Marine Horror Feared,

Mute evidences of great ocean disas-
ter in which one vessel and perhaps two
may have gone to the bottom were seen
ten miles off Fire Island by the crew Of
the incoming British steamship Algoa,
from Hamburg and Shields. The Algoa
passed through a vast quantity of wreck
age in which were steamer chairs, trunks,
boxes and bedding. Captain Hansford
expressed the opinion that there had been
collision near where he saw the wreck
age, and that at least one Of the vessels
in it had gone down. Captain Hansford
thinks the vessel was steamship carry
ing passengers and that there must have
been loss Of life. The trunks and furni-
ture were scattered over more than five
miles. No bodies were seen by Captain
Hansford or his officers. Captain Hans
ford is positive that the wreckage had
not been in the water more than twenty
four hours. The captain did not pick up
any of the wreckage or attempt to identi-
fy it. He supposed that the disaster was
already known in New York.

miles above Birmingham, Ala, on the

down an embankment and on the side of
the tracks. Two men were killed and
about twenty five others injured. Col
Edward Duffy, commander Of the regi-

AS soon as possible the wrecked cars were
broken into with axes and the injured
men and others were assisted out. There
is no telling what caused the tender of
the engine to leave the track.

CoNvIcTs AS coUNrERFE1TERs.
They Are Discovered Making Spuri-
Gus Coin in Kansas.

A gang of convict counterfeiters has
been discovered manufacturing spurious
coin at the Kansas State penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kan. The work was per-
formed in the coal mine, the metal used
being babbitt, buckets and spoons, which
were melted and cast in plaster of paris
molds. A considerable quantity of the
coin in the denominations of nickels and
quarters has been placed in circulation,
and it is believed this has been done with
the ,Ionnivance of some of the guards.
The discovery was the result of a convict
who believed he was not getting his share
"squealing" to the warden. Several con-
nected with the gang have been placed in
solitary confinement and an investigation
is to be ordered. The warden refuses to
give the names of those implicated or to
furnish any information.

Admiral Sampson said concerning the
report that Garcia claims that Cervera
surrendered to the Cubans and was turn
ed over to the navy, that it could not be
true. There were no Cubans about ex-
cept few on shore. These few employ
ed themselves by shooting at the defense
less Spaniards. 1t is questionable if the
Spaniards would have escaped alive, the
admiral said, if it had not been for the
American sailors. The admiral says Ger
vera was taken off his flagship by the
Gloucester, and was afterward taken
aboard the Iowa.

F1owery Kingdom La Disturbed.

News has been received from the Orient
that there was battle between the rebels
at Wicklow, and the imperial Chinese
troops. in which the former were victori-
Gus. Over 1900 of the troops were slain
and their bodies were thrown into the riv-
er. The Dosing, under Capt. Tholman,
was engaged to take about 1000 Chinese
troops to the scene of the rebel lines.
From the time the Dosing left Canton
until she reached WuChow, some 200
miles up the river, Capt. Tholman had
trouble with his crew, the Chinese SYM
pathizing with the rebels. One, COM
prador, began melting them to mutiny,
and the captain alleges that in self-de-
tense he was compelled to shoot the man.
The comprador died from his wound the
next day. Capt. Tholman was placed I'M
der arrest. and, as soon as an opportunity
was afforded, was sent to Canton. In his
journey he was confined in an iron cage,
and on arrival was placed in the British
Jail. On account of claim Of American
citizenship made by Tholeman there is
bitter feeling against all Americans In
that district and further trouble is feared.

In Case of Hitch in Peace Nepo+;.
tions with Spain.

Washington special:
The order of the Navy Department f..
the drydocking and repairs of the hs
ships in Admiral Simpsons feet indica,Ss
that this Government will not be caug
mapping either by Spain or by any otbp,
nation which may seek to interfere with
the accomplishment Of its aims.
1t is the intention of the department fl
put all the fighting vessels Of the navy in
the very best possible shape during the
existence of the armistice. In the event
that Great Britain should remain firm in
her refusal to allow the ships Of Admiral
Dewey's feet to dock at Hong Kong. ar
engagements will very likely be made to
send a floating dock to the Philippines
This will certainly be done if Admiral
Dewey recommends it.
The Navy Department will also see to
it that all the ships Of the navy are pro-
vided with smokeless powder during the
armistice. While the ships are at the
navy yards undergoing needed repairs the
sailors who served their guns so gallant
ly at Santiago are to be given liberal shore
leaves to compensate them for the hard
service they have rendered. Some Of
them have not had any shore leave for
seven months.
The War Department will take equal
care to do everything possible to increase
the efficiency of the land forces during
the armistice. The troops in the field will
be reduced, probably to 100000. With
only this number Of soldiers to look after
the War Department will be able to take
care of all their wants promptly. They
will all be armed with the krag-Iorgensen
rifles, and target practice will be taken up
in all the camps. If Spain should con-
clude to continue the war after the peace
commission has finished it's work, or if
any of the powers of Europe should at
tempt to interfere with the administra-
TONS policy in the Philippines, the United
States will be found in splendid shape to
cope with the emergency. 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that there will be any
more fighting and the measures to be TAX
en- by the War and Navy Departments
are purely precautionary.
The administration is pleased with the
condition Of affairs in Porto Rico, where
the Spanish commander, Gen. Macias, is
a friendly spirit in cooperating
with the Americans in making ready for
the evacuation.

AWFUL SUFFERING IN HAVANA.
Condition of Things There Reported
as Horrible,

as Horrible.
Reports from Havana picture the con-
dition of things there as horrible. Provis-
ions and other necessaries of life are very
scarce and prices continue high. The CO.
lonial government imposed the highest
customs duties, which continue in force,
making prices high and rendering the sit
uation Of the poor very painful. The free
kitchens which have been established in
Havana daily furnish about 10000 per-
sons with food, but owing to the great
number of poor in the city who are with
out food of any sort, the amount Of sup
plies handled by these kitchens is quite
insufficient to relieve the distress to any
great extent. Women and children lie
about the streets, pale and ema ciated, and
looking more like corpses than living be-
ings

Dewey Willing to Fight.


Matters kept getting worse. German
launches were stopped and sent to their
ships. Permission to move in the night
time was refused on some occasions, and
finally Admiral Dewey took occasion to
say to the German flag lieutenant that
certain things meant war and the Ger
mans were approaching dangerously near
them. Then he added in substance that
if the Germans wanted war they could
have it now or at any other time, here or
at any other place.
In reply to this Won Diedrichs took
pacifcatory tone and disavowed any in
tention of violating proper usages or the
American adnlirals blockade regulations.
Then came the Subig bay incident. The
insurgents were attacking 1sla de Grande.
They had captured steamer from the
Spanish and they sent her down to Subig
with men. She came back one afternoon
and reported to Dewey that the cruiser
Irene had prevented her from attacking
Grande Island and had forced her to haul
down her insurgent flag and raise a white
one.
Dewey sent the Raleigh and Concord
there at once. They went in and cleared
for action at S:15 the next morning, ready
for what might come, German or other
wise. AS they went in on one side Of
the island, the Irene came out on the
other at full steam. The two American
ships took the island with 623 prisoners,
nearly all Spanish soldiers, and 600 rifles,
with an immense quantity Of ammunition
When the Irene came back the McCul-
loch spoke, but did not stop her. This
brought a protest from both sides. Won
Diedrichs objected to the hauling up Of
his ships. Dewey declared that the Ger
mans were lending aid and comfort to our
enemies, thereby making themselves open
ly Spains allies. He sent a message to
the German admiral, the substance of
which was:
is there peace OR war between our
countries? II there is war / want to know
it. If there is peace I want you to change
your course. The way to make war is to
clear up ship and go at it."
Won Diedrichs replied with an apology
and then as if repenting he wrote to Adj
miral Dewey a note in which he miscon-
strued Deweys contention about right to
speak incoming ships, and said he would
lay the matter before commanders-in-
chief now in the harbor Since then
Dewey has heard nothing from him, but
he has heard what happened when Won
Diedrichs called on Capt. Chichester of
the 1mmortalite, the senior officer of the
English squadron. The Englishman
showed the German his instructions, by
which he was ordered to do what Dewey
had been contending that the Germans
should do. There was not much ground
left for Won Diedrichs after that
