WEEKS HAPPENINGS
SOUTH DAKOTA EVENTS m A
CONDENSED FORM.
Considerable Apprehension Seems
to Exist In Missouri lsiver Towns
This Spring Regarding the Break-
ing UP OF the lce-Othcr Items.
The Breaking I'm Time,

~
A good deal of apprehension appears to
exist in towns along the Missouri River
this year regarding the break-up of the ice.
1t is feared that there will be a flood when
the rush Of ice really begins to come down
the river. Visions of the terrible disasters
of 1880 still linger in the memories of the
residents along the river and some arc
keeping a pretty close watch ontlie trcach-
crOus stream.
The cause of the anxiety seems to be in
regard to the ice in the upper river country.
The ice is said to be only about eight
inches in thickness OH the upper river
while in Sioux City and vicinity it ranges
from eighteen to twenty-five inches in
thickness. AT Pierre the river is said To
have risen two feet during the past week
owing to snow melting. So far the ice is
stationary, but a breakup must come ere
long. The ice being so thick at Sioux City
and for several miles north, it is hardly
possible that a breakup can come until
long after the upper river ice begins to
tumble along toward the lower river
country. 1t is feared that this will result
in somc serious ice gorges-gorges are
what cause the floods along the Missouri
River.

A CHANNEL DISASTER
ENGLISH STEAMER RUNS On

of Life Is Placed at Thirty-lsisht
Out of u Total of 1872 ON Board
Captain Dies Like u Hero.
Horror Mt Sea.

The passenger steamer Stella, plying be-
tween Southampton, Eng, and the channel
islands, crashed into the dreaded Casquet
rocks, near Attorney Island in IL dense fog
and foundcred in ten minutes, her boilers
exploding will, a tremendous report as she
went down. 1t is estimated IS were
drowned. The coas.ilg steamer Lynx,
which brought The news, picked up four
boats carrying forty persons from the YES
sci. The steamer had on hoard 40 pas
scngcrs. Another vessel brought in fifty
five survivors. The second officer OF the
Stella says u collapsi)lc boat was launched
full of people, but he thinks it struck OH
the rocks in the fog.
Tho Stella left Southampton conveying
the first excursion of the season 10
the Channel Islands. There were about
140 passengers OH board, and the crew
numbered forty-two. The weather was
fogy, but all went we'll until after
noon, when the fog became most dense
Alta the Casquct rocks suddenly loomed
up through the fog bank and the steamer
almost Immediately afterwards struck
amidships. The captain, seeing the steamer
was fast sinking, ordered the lifcboats
launched. His instructions were carried
outwiththe utmost celebrity, andthe women
and children embarked in the boats. Then
the captain ordered the men to look after
themselves. A survivor states that he and
twenty-five others put IF from the Stella
in a small boat. The sea was calm, hui
there was Il big swirl around the rocks
When this boat was Il short distance away
from the wreck the boilers of the Stella
burst with a terrific explosion, and the YES
sci disappeared stern foremost in tho sea
The last thing the survivor saw was the
figure of the captain of the Stella standing
calmly on tie bridge giving his last in
structions. The captain persisted with his
vessel.

SEEK WATER FOR IRRIGATION
Artcsian Wells Are Sunk to Obtain
Moisture.

Ever since the United States survey ex-
amined the formation of the foothills of the
Black Hills and announced the possibility
of there being artesian water at a depth Of
from TOD to 1900 feet from the surface, at
tempts have been nude to get money to
sink an experimental we'll near Hcrmosa.
The business men have now dubbed to-
gcther and a wellman from Michigan has
been secured to sink to the depth of 1900
feet, if necessary, ncar that town.
From Hermosa down the creek to the
Cheyenne River, thirty miles or more, are
some of the finest farms in South Dakota,
which have been abandoned ON account of
the dryness of the climate. With artesian
water for ilrigating purposes, the land
would become very valuable. Artesian
wells are being sunk at Belle Fourclle and
Edgemont, the two extremes of the Hills,
and the Government will soon commence
sinking a large we'll at Fort Meade.

How Fortunes Are Made.

How to make money-that is the.
question all men are asking. Indeed,
the question Of money-making has at
tracted more attention than its merits,
deserve. We are not created simply
to make money. We are created for
the purpose Of being developed, Gull;
tured and useful. Nevertheless it is,
proper to ask how can money be made?'
How have great fortunes been made?
1t has been said that Ex-Governor
Flower, of New York State. made his
start in life when earning 5000 a year
salary. At this wages he laid up ST.
600 in four Or five years. He estab-
lished habits Of frugality, economy,
thrift and industry, which made his
success simply n matter of time. He
could not do otherwise than succeed
with such habits as he formed in carly
life. II you, young man, want to know
how to get a start in the world, how to
make your fortune, be assured that you
must begin as Ex-Governor Flower be-
gan, with little, making much of that
little, depriving yourself Of ~luxuries,
and possibly comforts, in order that
you may get q start, and after having
once secured a start you push along
with vigor in the same economic. indus.
trious course.
Nearly all of the wealthy men of the
world began life as poor boys. There
was only one way for these poor boys
to rise, and that was by economy, in.
dustry and thrift.

Seniors Jose r. Villalon and Ii. Havia,
who were appointed by the Cuban AS
sembly to present to the Washington
authorities the resolutions of that body
have arrived in Washington. Their mis-
sion, in addition to the presentation of the
resolutions, is to explain In detail the sit
uation with reference to the insurgent
army. While the assembly did not reject
the 100000, which Gen. Gomez arranged
with Robert p. Porter to receive and pay
off the Cuban troops, they believed it TO
be entirely inadequate to meet the situa-
ton. They desire at least $l0,O0O,OOO and
is much more as can be obtained. The
Cubans will seek an audience with Presi-
dent Mckinley. If the President receives
these gentlemen it will be as visiting citi-
Gems, not in their representative capacity.
No such recognition will be accorded them.
If they present a request or petition it will
be referred TO Gen. Brooke as military gov
crnor of Cuba, and the one person author-
lied 10 deal with Cuban affairs.

Fish in Cottonwood Lake.

The town of Butler and others within
fifty miles of Cottonwood Lake, are being
supplied with pickcrcl, many Of them
weighing twelve to fifteen pounds. Until
two years ago there was no fish in the lake.
Now they are SO numerous that to cast a
net in the water ear all the fish 1t will
hold. An old German settler discovered
the fish about a year ago. Last year lie
did nothing but catch fish and market them,
selling $500 worth. Now others have
learned where the German got his fish, and
they aretrying 10 have the old man arrested,
but as the pickercl are becoming more nu-
merous in the lake the authorities will not
interfere. The lake is six miles long and a
mile wide.

MISS MARIE ENaEL.

light when, as a child, she showed mu-
steal ability. They built castles in the
air for her; she was to be IL great singer
some day. When Marie was Z the
mother died. Her last request was to-
hear her child sing, and the little one
stood at the bedside singing and sob
bling as the mother breathed her lust.
When Marie was old enough her father
took her to Europe, where she studied
under the masters. A few years ago
she made her debut in Berlin, and
thereafter sang herself into the favor
of the great capitals Of Europe. This
is her first season in America.
Miss Engel has not only beauty and
a sweet voice, but superb courage. This
trait was Illustrated last spring. She.
was to make her debut in Madrid OH q,
night in April, taking n leading part
in the operate event of the season. She
reached the Spanish capital just before
the Wal broke out. Feeling against the
Americans ran high, and Miss Engel
was told it We're better if she would not
take part. She declined to surrender
her place, and when the time came
went upon the stage. The cry went
through the house, "'This is the Ameri-
can" and jeers and catcalls rent the
air. She started to sing and the audi
ence howled. They would not listen to
her, but she went through her part.
After the first act she was warned by
the stage manager that should she go
on in the second act her life might be
in danger. 1t didn't brighten her. Her
second appearance was greeted like the
first. The American girl now felt it was
a matter of patriotism and went on q
third time. The audience greeted her
with silence. Az she began to sing,
there was q tremor in the sweet sound
that fell on the hushed audience, for
she feared the silence foreboded trou-
bic. But her courage was speedily re-
stored, for she had not gone far when
from all parts of the house went up
cheers and applause. Bravo, Ameri-
canos" vas the cry. She had conquered.
Even S%paniards could not withhold the
applause which such courage and pa
triotism demanded, and thereafter, for
several nights, she was the heroine Of
Madrid.
