Cholera Proof Hogs.

The following from the Adrian
Guardians: >. j.
Messrs. j. D. Harvey and Frank
McFarlin received frcm the south
this week, a pair of Ozart, or ''mule.
footed" hogs, which are an innova-
tion in this country, and will mean
the saving of thousands of dollars TO
the farmers of this section if they are
ali that is claimed for them. The
animals derive their name from the
fact that their hoofs, unlike those Of
the ordinary hog. are not split, but
solid and round like those of q mule,
and their chief point of superiority
over the ordinary breed is the fact
that they are proof against hog chol-
era. 1t is claimed that not one of
them has ever been known 20 die Of
this scourge, and their value to- tho
farmers Of N orthwest, on this account
will be seen and appreciated. They
resemble the Poland Chinas IN size
and general appearance, are easy to
.fatten and sellers. Harvey 8 McFar
lin will keep them for sale and fol
breeding purposes and invite all
those interested to como and gee
them. The animals were .transfered
enroute and attracted considerable
attention. To the, ordinary observer
they showed no marked difference
from the common hog, aside from
the peculiar hoof.

The Railroads and Temperance

i There is a worthy disposition on
the part of railway officials to en-
courage temperance among the en-
ployes. Last year the railroads of
this country contributed over $780,
600 toward the support of railroad
branches of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association throughout the
country, and the officials of the
roads that have SO literally donated
for that cause state that the money
thus expended has been a paying in
vestment. In this county there are
now one hundred railroad associa-
tions and Departments. President
Burt, of the Union Pacific, iseued an
order recently that will meet with
the approval Of the public, when he
decroed that all saloons must be clos
ed and removed from the eating
houses Of the: company along the
line. In this the railway manager
not only discourages drinking
among the employees, and also re.
moves the temptation. Railway

Cranky Xeaaels

Even the best designers never know
how their ships will turn out when
completed. They may break all records
for speed, or they may be SO slow as to
be entirely useless-a mere waste of
money.
Years ago two mud barges were built
at San Francisco, exactly alike, con-
structed from one design. One of them
was quite commonplace, but the other
raced every barge in the bay and beat
them all; raced every yacht on the Pa
cific coast and beat them. She was SO
fast that yachts were built on her lines,
but turned out mere barges for sloth.
Nobody could see how this craft differed
from her crawling sisters or from the
yachts.
In 1851 the America went to Cowes,
England, and raced for a prize cup.
She won that trophy, and then an Eng
lishman bought her and improved her
hull. stiffening it with knees through
out. After that she lost every race.

From Welsh to Spanish.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. AS result,
in 1865 a colony Of prosecuted Welsh
miners fed from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts Of Patagonia.
These men Were heroes and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in desert where not plant would
grow. where the water was brackish
and the heat intolera BILE. They were
surrounded by wild tribes Of hostile
savages and made them warm friends;
they were ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens
Through long years Of want and
famine they never despaired. They
have turned the desert into a beautiful
fertile country. have become rich, num-
Der 5000 people, have extended their
string of settlements right across South
America. own paying railway and
ship large crops of wheat, wool. ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyranny
of the English language and now, rather
than talk Welsh. they converse largely
of their freedom in excellent Spanish.

There ID a mountain OF truth in what
the Des Moines, Iowa, Capital says in
reference to the cutting down of the
priuter's bill when he does some work
for public enterprise. This is what
the Capital says:
While Edward Rosewater, of the
Omaha Bee, was in Washington las !.
March securing all sorts of concessions
for the Omaha exposition, the board OF
directors we're holding q session for the
purpose of cutting sl4.o0 off the Bees
bill for publishing the articles OF incor.
poration. The Bee very properly re-
lllsed to allow the bill to be cut. It too
often happens that people who are con-
d1ctipg enterprises for the benefit Of
the community think that tbs news
papers ought to contribute everything,
whereas if they were to buy yard OF
ribbon from merchant to be used in
the celebration, the merchant would be
paid for it. There are few kinds, of
business upon which 30 many impo-
sltions are practiced.

The letter of Major Wsrne to Sen
ator Pettigrew is 81 5ject of much dis
cussion through the newspapers and
some interesting facts are being
brought to light. The Pierre Capital
Journal makes this comment and pub
fishes letter from a soldier of Co. A
affair:
Only month ago the press was full
of what william DR.. Wxrne was and of
mis- abuses of the South Dakota boys in
the Philippines. Now comes the dear
doctor applying the same language to
Col. Frost in letter to Senator Petit
grew. One thing that is proven by this
last letter is that two of Gov. Lees
appointees have come to q dividing of
the ways. This letter of DR.. Warne's
also confirms story we saw in q letter
OF one OF the company A boys to his
is very strained condition between
Or. Warne and Col. Frost. The doctor
has been endeavoring to secure an en-
dorsement from the boys of the govern
or's letter to the president, and Col.
Frost has disapproved of the doctors
scheme and does not believe the regi-
ment has anything to do with the quar-
rels at home of political nature. The
shoulder straps of each party have all
been trying to mould political senti-
ment here to be used as ammunition at
home, and most all of us have become
disgusted with their efforts, as we did
not come out here to fight political bat
tles-we can settle them at home The
whole truth of the matter seems to be
that Col. Frost wants to keep on the
good side OF the national administra-
tion, while DR.. Warne is looking for
something from Gov. Lee when he gets
home"

SOME OF THE BOYS COMING.
Some of the South Dakota Volunteers
Have Landed at San Francisco.

FRANCISCO.
Mrs. o. W. Coursey, daughter OF j.
q. Nolt who resides on the south side,
received q letter few days from her
husband, Sergeant Coursey, stating
he was on his way home from Manila.
The letter was dated at Nagasaki,
Japan, July 2, where the hospital ship,
Morgan City, had put in to coal up.
Sergeant Ccursey wrote that they ar
rived at the Japanese port just as a
States and he had time to write but a
brief letter. He stated that there
we're about 400 sick and wounded
soldiers on the ship and that there
were a number from the South Dakota
regiment. They went aboard the ship
on June 16 and they laid in the
harbor eight days before sailing.
Sergeant Coursey arrived at San
Francisco via the Morgan City Mon
day and the following day Mrs. Coursey
received telegram from him saying
he wab improved in health and would
come home as soon as possible, arriv-
ing probably next Monday or Tuesday.
The sergeant, however, will not stop 10
Mitchell but will go on to Alpena,
near where his parents live. Mrs.
Coursey will meet him at Sioux City
or Scotland and accompany him home.
Sergeant Coursey enlisted in Co. G

principal in the Alpena schools, CIV

Dakota regiment In March he was
wounded in the leg and has, since his
recovery, been doing hospital duty,

1t is to be regretted that he will not
stop in Mitchell, as he would be given
a hearty reception as one of the first
returning volunteers.

lam 7. Stead declares more has been
accomplished than the most sanguine
expected. The relations between the
Americans and the English, German
and Russian delegates were very pleas
ant and friendly. The English and
Americans acted throughout almost
like joint delegation, for the reason
that both found common ground in
the questions OF common interests,
civilization and humanity. What has
been actually accomplished is thus
summed up by Mr.. Stead:

CAN'T GET ENOUGH CARS.
Says There Will be Car Famine When
Grain Season Begins.

Says There Wal be Car Famine When
Grain Season Begins.
1t is evident that the big crop in
South Dakota this year will tax the
railroads to the uttermost to move the
grain and they are even ready now to
admit their inability to handle the big
crop in sight. Supt. Beardsley of the
Sioux City and Dakota division OF the
Milwaukee road is thus quoted in the
Sioux City Journal on the car famine
question:
"The Milwaukee this year has added
1900 cars OF 1000 pounds capacity to
its equipment, but that number will
not be near enough. And did you ever
stop TO think what q car Of 10000
pounds capacity means? Why, that
is car twice the size of the old ones.
A car OF 80, 900 pounds capacity means
car that will haul 1000 bushels of
wheat and that is the crop OF an ordi-
nary farmer"
From comparative statement made
by the Milwaukee it is shown, the
Journal says, that the number of car
loads of grain and live stock forwarded
from the stations on the Sioux City and
South Dakota division during the first
six months of 1899 show an increase
over the first six months of 1893 of 3,O21
cars and there was q constant gain
from January to July,1. It is quite
certain that other Sioux City roads
have been similarly prosperous.
